In 1998, Zhang Ziqiang, a Hong Kong "thief of the century" who set a Guinness World Record for a single kidnapping, was arrested in Guangzhou.
In that year, he was sentenced to death by the court for the crime of illegal trade in explosives, robbery, kidnapping, smuggling of weapons and ammunition.
As we all know, the "Thief King of the Century", who is rushing to report by the Hong Kong media, has committed many crimes, among which Li Zeju, the son of Li Ka-shing, who has been kidnapped for a huge ransom, and Kwok Bingxiang, a hong Kong billionaire, are the two most famous cases.
However, after Zhang Ziqiang's criminal gang was caught by the mainland police, only about 100 million yuan of stolen money was broken, and even if Zhang Ziqiang was addicted to gambling, he could not explain the unknown whereabouts of the remaining large amount of money.
At the critical juncture when the mainland and Hong Kong police were looking for the remaining stolen funds, a woman named Luo Yanfang behind Zhang Ziqiang's criminal group surfaced.
The police investigation found that Luo Yanfang is not a simple woman, she is not only Zhang Ziqiang's wife, but also a "military master" who advises behind them.
In 1959, when he was only four years old, Zhang Ziqiang fled to Hong Kong with his father, and the family with no long belongings could only settle in Yau Ma Tei, where the three religions and nine streams gathered.
Fortunately, my father knew a little about Chinese herbal medicine, so he opened a "herbal tea shop" in Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei with his skill, and barely supported his family.
Zhang Ziqiang's childhood was spent in the chaotic law and order, the underworld gang war intensive oil and mammoth, his father was very strict with him, hoping that he could have a chance, but inadvertently stimulated the anger in his heart.
Affected by the family and the environment, Zhang Ziqiang, whose "thief nature" sprouted, began to fight with the streets before he finished primary school, and slowly developed into a member of the underworld.
His father's scolding and fists were helpless, and in desperation, his father could only send him to the tailor's shop as an apprentice, hoping that he would return to the right path.
However, this not only failed to lead his son back to the right path, but instead allowed him to get acquainted with Luo Yanfang, his later marriage and criminal partner.
It is reasonable to say that Luo Yanfang and Zhang Ziqiang are definitely not all the same people whether they are born or work, but Luo Yanfang is from a family of scholars, and she is also a teacher.
Zhang Ziqiang has always taken a mixed road, from the age of 12 to become a regular customer in the police station, at the age of 16 into the first shift of his life, in the police station have a thick bottom.
But Luo Yanfang, who was young, was attracted by Zhang Ziqiang, a small who was not famous at that time, was it the same kind of attraction?
However, this can also be seen that Luo Yanfang, a woman, has not been a good stubble since she was a child.
However, when the two met at the tailor's shop, Zhang Ziqiang was pursuing a rich family and wanted to change his fate.
Later, Zhang Ziqiang did not eat the soft rice, and at the same time, he did not escape the wrist of the young Luo Yanfang, and the two held hands on the red carpet and promised this life together.
However, no one would have thought at that time that the red carpet of their two was sprinkled with the flowers of sin.
After getting married and having children, Zhang Ziqiang did not "wash his hands in the golden basin" like others, but the thief's courage became bigger and bigger.
After Luo Yanfang and Zhang Ziqiang dragged on, she listened to his words and resigned from her position as a teacher and went to the bank to work as a clerk.
Soon after that, there was a major case of Zhang Ziqiang's gang robbing a cash truck.
Later, after the two got married, Zhang Ziqiang told Luo Yanfang about his past and said that he wanted to re-emerge from the jianghu.
When this happened, other women would probably be frightened and trembling, but Luo Yanfang was very excited when she knew it, and even wanted to participate in it.
However, after their gang successfully hijacked a 30 million-dollar Rolex watch at Kai Tak Airport in 1990, they hijacked a 170 million Hong Kong dollar armored cash carrier in the same place the following year.
This big case shocked the world and caused Zhang and Luo to be arrested by the police at the same time, but Luo Yanfang was released for insufficient evidence of the crime, and Zhang Ziqiang, as the main offender, was sentenced to 18 years in prison.
After Luo Yanfang came out, she scratched her thigh and took photos with reporters to report, claiming that she was tortured by the police to extract a confession.
At the same time, she also used the influence of news media such as the South China Morning Post in society to create a frenzied campaign in an attempt to use public opinion to put pressure on the police station.
The media has always been eager for such news, and for a time, the public opinion direction was completely biased in favor of Luo Yanfang's side.
In addition, she spent a lot of money to hire the best lawyers in Hong Kong at that time and conducted a three-year tug-of-war litigation marathon.
In the end, she successfully changed Zhang Ziqiang's 18-year sentence to insufficient evidence, was released on the spot, and received compensation of 8 million Hong Kong dollars for the wrongful conviction.
Zhang Ziqiang therefore began to trust and even rely on his wife Luo Yanfang, coupled with some later events, he even regarded Luo Yanfang as his "goddess of luck", and every mansion in the family had a sphinx sculpture with Luo Yanfang as the head.
In order to avoid being served by a pot again, Luo Yanfang also began to turn behind the scenes, especially after her partner Ye Jihuan was arrested, she became a military division level figure who advised their gang.
Instead of Ye Jihuan, the two formed a "dream combination", the case became bigger and bigger, Zhang Ziqiang became the "Thief King" and "Thief", and Luo Yanfang manipulated the money laundering for them behind the scenes.
In 1996 and 1997, Zhang Ziqiang's criminal gang kidnapped Li Ka-shing's son Li Zeju and Hong Kong's rich man Kwok Ping-hsiang, successfully extorting nearly HK$1.7 billion in ransoms.
It can be said that if they had closed their hands at that time, it was estimated that it would have been another ending, after all, the rich people at that time still did not want to be enemies of a person who was full of bombs.
However, Zhang Ziqiang was always dissatisfied, and the scale of the crime became larger and larger, during which he even shot and killed innocent civilians, and repeatedly went to the interior to commit crimes, smuggling weapons, ammunition, and other arms, and planning to create a great terrorist incident.
In 1998, Zhang Ziqiang's criminal gang was finally caught by the mainland police and sentenced to death in Guangzhou.
After being arrested, Zhang Ziqiang and Luo Yanfang were not dead-hearted, and they tried all kinds of means and means to extradite Zhang Ziqiang from the mainland to Hong Kong without the death penalty.
As a result, of course, they did not go as they wished, and Zhang Ziqiang, who had committed several crimes in the mainland, was refused to use the extradition regulations by the mainland police and executed by firing squad on the mainland.
On August 26, 1998, Luo Yanfang, as a relative of Zhang Ziqiang, was also arrested in Hong Kong, and various assets under her and Zhang Ziqiang's names were also frozen.
However, on November 4 of that year, the Hong Kong High Court revoked her asset freezing order because the police could not produce sufficient evidence.
After being released from prison, Luo Yanfang disposed of the property under her name at a low price, and after being cheated of a large amount of money, she waited for the news that her husband was shot.
Subsequently, the new widow, with nearly a billion assets, with her mother-in-law and two children, left Hong Kong, which was no longer safe for her, and moved to Thailand.
With her disappearance, the remaining large accounts of Zhang Ziqiang Group are nowhere to be found.
Luo Yanfang has always been a character to be reckoned with in this incident, but she has been able to put herself in a safe position.
Whether it's manipulating gang crime behind her back, or gambling with the police on the law, it shows her superior INTELLIGENCE.
But such a woman who is against the water is addicted to the ill-gotten wealth of Dafa's robbery and extortion, and her cleverness is mistaken by cleverness.
At the same time as arousing people's hatred, the second half of her life was also threatened by kidnapping and extortion because of her huge wealth that was not commensurate with her strength.
Fortunately, the police put an end to the whole incident with a gunshot, hoping to give some comfort to the innocent victims!
