Wuhan, 25 Feb (China Youth Network) -- On the 29th day of the lunar month, an extraordinarily large theft case that occurred in a villa quietly took away all the holidays of the Wuhan East Lake police during the Spring Festival. The suspect is cunning and sophisticated, and has come and gone without a trace. Unexpectedly, this criminal gang was an "old rival" of the East Lake bureau 13 years ago. A contest between justice and sin, wisdom and will began.
There is no trace of it, and the Spring Festival "patronizes" the community every year
On February 3, 2019, at about 11:30, the police of the East Lake Ecotourism Scenic Area Branch of the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau suddenly received a 110 alarm call. "I am a villa housekeeper, today I came to clean up the house for the owner, the house was stolen, and a lot of valuable things were lost." The police call came from the East Lake OCT community.
The first to come to the scene of the crime center is the Huguang police station police Chen Feng, Zhong Zhaoping, they repeatedly surveyed the inside and outside of the villa, but found that the suspect is very sophisticated, the route in and out of the villa did not leave obvious traces, more incredible, the villa and the surrounding probes were all successfully avoided by him, and the video surveillance data was not even recorded. Valuable items such as designer bags, two sterling gold ornaments and three pearl necklaces are missing. Immediately after arriving at the scene was Zhang Peng, deputy head of the criminal investigation brigade of the sub-bureau, who recalled another theft that occurred in the villa of the community a year ago. It was the Lantern Festival of 2018, and an out-of-town businessman and his family forgot to remove the safe key after a party in a detached villa. Early the next morning, 200,000 yuan, 80,000 U.S. dollars, 3 famous watches, necklaces worth 500,000 yuan, and more than 20 pieces of gold and silver jewelry were swept away in the safe. After analyzing these two cases, Zhang Peng believed that it should be the same suspect, "The suspect is a veteran!" ”
Chinese New Year's Eve imminent, some of the auxiliary police officers from other places who were eager to return home took an early rest and had already embarked on the train leaving Han. However, because of the case, Wang Shaoyuan, director of the sub-bureau, and Mei Ping, political commissar, took the lead in abandoning the rest, and Huang Tianli, deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, took the lead in organizing and fully launched a cracking case. More than 30 people from the sub-bureau's criminal investigation brigade, Huguang, Tingtao, Moshan, Luoyan, Piper, And shuishui police station and other units were involved in the case.
Ji Min's mother, who is suffering from cancer, is about to be hospitalized for surgery, and she is counting on him to take care of him for a few days while resting. Ji Min was very guilty and apologized to his father on the phone, hoping that his father would understand and take good care of his mother on his behalf.
Wang Huailin, deputy director of the criminal investigation department of Tingtao Institute, who has just recovered from the hospital, learned of the police situation and led the police to collect relevant videos of the jurisdiction.
Searched through more than 3,000 hours of video, and there were few clues
On the night of the 29th lunar month, more than 20 machines did not stop for a moment in the brightly lit video room of the criminal investigation brigade. After repeatedly investigating the scene of the crime and the surrounding geographical environment, the police of the special case team ruled out the possibility of the "shadowless thief" escaping through land and water, boldly speculated on the direction and path of their escape through land, and then clarified the scope of video tracking.
The "3.2" theft case in 2018 has allowed everyone to see the kung fu of this "shadowless thief". He was clearly present at the scene and left some traces, but his shadow could not be seen from the video surveillance around him. He was very cunning and had the habit of cleaning up the scene after committing the crime, so that during the investigation of the "3.2" case, even the entrance and exit could not be confirmed.
In the investigation of the case, one coincidence after another, 8 highly suspected perpetrators appeared one after another, and all of them were investigated and denied, and the difficulty of handling the case can be imagined. The following days and nights, each combatant worked more than 15 hours a day, and more than 3,000 hours of video information taken by hundreds of probes were watched, except for a fleeing figure at the door, nothing else was found.
A "bright white dot" brings light to the cracking of the case
On February 12, when zhou Hao, a police officer, was coordinating with the Hongshan District Public Security Bureau to look at a secondary probe near the Lihe intersection of Happy Avenue in Hongshan District, he found that the probe had taken a strange "bright white spot". It was 7:52 a.m. on Feb. 3, and the "bright white dot" on the screen was motionless at first, then moved into the path, then turned back and was picked up by a white Ford sedan with the license plate of AT4***.
Who is that "bright white dot"? If he is waiting for the car, isn't it more convenient to walk to the big intersection twenty or thirty meters away and wait? Even if you don't go out, there's no need to go inside? All abnormalities must have articles, and the police officer Zhou Hao has repeatedly watched this one-minute video with "bright white spots" dozens of times. He speculated that this "bright white spot" was likely to be the suspect. The police of the special case team found that the white Ford in the surveillance was a ride-hailing car. The man took the car to the vicinity of Wuchang Yangyuan Simeitang and got out of the car, turned to drive a small car with the label of EagF***, and the information of the owner and his associates quickly emerged.
The police responsible for the peripheral visit and investigation also collected an important clue through the security guard, in the early morning of February 3, the thief touched the alarm facility on the courtyard wall when he climbed over the courtyard wall of the community, the security guard chased out, a fleeing man scolded a sentence, through the security guard's recall of the man's accent, the police judged that it should be the accent of the suburbs around Wuhan, ruling out the possibility of inter-provincial and cross-city straying.
After the police gathered various information, the two Zhan brothers living in Cai Ju, Huangpi District, were identified as suspects. "This brother Zhan A is not the object planted in the hands of our criminal investigation brigade 13 years ago!" Many police officers in the criminal investigation brigade were a little excited. In 2006, Zhan Jia was arrested for stealing a high-end residential area in the East Lake jurisdiction, and was sentenced to 11 years in prison by the court for the huge amount. That time he was arrested, he thought that an accomplice "betrayed" him, and this time his partner became his own brother Zhan Yimou.
After returning from the crime, it directly entered the "pocket" prepared by the police
"Through the analysis of the police situation, it was found that Zhan Jiamou was very cunning, and the location he recently chose to commit the crime was relatively remote, easy to escape and not easy to control." In the face of "old opponents," Zhao Yang, the captain of the criminal investigation brigade, did not have the slightest "light enemy," "We found that he committed crimes regularly, and on rainy days on weekends, he was bound to move." ”
On the third day that the special case team kept an eye on him, the investigation found that Zhan Jia came from the Huangpi District where he lived and came to the city and stopped at the intersection of Lion Rock North Road and Nanhu Avenue. This time, the special case team believes that the time is ripe to close the net, and has carefully formulated an arrest plan.
On the evening of February 15, the arrest and assembly trumpet sounded! The task force is divided into 5 groups to be on standby. A group of police went out to walk for more than 3 hours against the cold wind and cold rain, scanning each district and street by street, close to the early morning turn of the clock, in an alley on Luoshi North Road, the target car was finally found. Every police officer was shivering with cold and stiff hands and feet, but they were all grabbing fighters at the scene, surveying the terrain, arranging observation posts, and selecting accurate control points, and the special case team quickly arranged for 4 arrest teams to lay down a "long pocket" according to the characteristics of the scene.
In the early morning, the police who had been curled up in the car all night were waiting with perseverance, and at about 7:30, a small black car broke in, stopped near a large tree, and the two men got out of the car without hurry, pulled open the trunk, and took out four or five black plastic bags. "That's him! It must be him! The police at the scene immediately made a judgment.
Zhang Peng drove the car from the intersection into the path, just blocking the way of the black car that was ready to turn around and leave. The two men hid behind a tree with their belongings to observe the movements, and they wanted to wait for the black car to drive away before driving away in their own car to escape. What the two men did not expect was that the 5 arrest teams quickly tightened their pockets, the police formed a closed circle from the intersection and the surrounding area, and the two pairs of thieves' hands were pinned to the ground, these two men were the Zhan brothers, for their own arrest, Zhan Jia was very surprised.

The Shadowless Thief did not understand how the horse's foot had leaked
"Zero confession, I am zero confession!" When the Zhan brothers were escorted back to the criminal investigation brigade of the substation by the police, Zhan Jia deliberately shouted such a sentence before entering the interrogation room. Zhao Yang, who had fought with him, knew that he would not easily confess the crime.
Before being interrogated, Zhan Jia used to check the investigator's work card, and if it was a general investigator, he would respond to questions perfunctorily; if the work card indicated the head of the criminal investigation brigade, he would be willing to communicate more.
"He smokes, and even if you hand him a cigarette, he won't pick it up." Zhang Peng, who participated in the interrogation, said, "He is bold and careful and very self-controlled, in order to avoid the probe, he always insists on taking the "safety line".

According to reports, before he enters the scene of the crime, he will change into the clothes, glasses, and shoes specially prepared in advance for the crime, and when he commits the crime, he will all be replaced and transformed into another person. His car never drove into the crime scene and always stopped 5-10 kilometers from the crime scene. He is also a "chameleon" who makes full use of his environment, and in what kind of environment, he will try to make his clothes, manners, and fabricated lies match the environment, so that everyone who comes into contact with him will not be suspicious of him.
On February 3, when he was waiting for the driver to pick up him, he deliberately stood next to an excavator at the scene, carrying a bag, and when he greeted the online driver, he revealed that he was going to work at the construction site. When returning to Simeitang, he deliberately guided the online driver to bend from the street into the alley, so that the online car driver thought that he was a resident of the alley.
Police officer Zhao Yang said that Zhan Jiamou has a strong anti-investigation ability. His pillow was filled with a large number of books on investigation and law.
Before 2006, Zhan Jiamou successively committed many consecutive thefts in The East Lake Linyu, Jiyuqiao Global Village, and Xudong European Garden, specializing in stealing villa areas. After his first release from prison, he returned to his old business and was arrested by the police of the Hongshan District Public Security Bureau and sentenced to two years in prison. The second time he walked out of prison, he intensified his crimes, the targets became bigger and bigger, crazy theft of high-end villa communities, rapid profiteering, buying houses and cars, and dressing up the image of success with distorted values. The East Lake police found that the two brothers were also suspects in many villa theft cases in East Lake, Hongshan, Jiangxia and other places, with a total value of more than 3 million yuan. At present, the East Lake police are stepping up their efforts to recover the stolen goods, and the case is being further handled.
