At 8: 3 1, Zhang Tianzeng, captain of Kaifeng Interpol Detachment, rang the intercom "DuDu". "What is it?"
"Report to the command center, a large number of treasures were stolen from the Ming and Qing court supplies exhibition hall of the museum. Please let the investigators come to the scene quickly! "
At 8: 40, Zhang Tianzeng led the investigators to the museum quickly and immediately started exploration work.
Wu Heping, director of Kaifeng Public Security Bureau, and Hu Antai, deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, also rushed to the scene from different places.
After preliminary investigation by the police, it was found that 8 display cabinets in the exhibition hall were pried and 69 precious cultural relics were stolen, including 59 national first-class and second-class cultural relics. Four first-class cultural relics, such as the blue-and-white lotus pattern plate in Xuande period in Ming Dynasty, the yellow glazed porcelain plate in Hongzhi period in Ming Dynasty, the three-legged palindrome furnace in Dehua kiln in Ming Dynasty, and the blue-and-white red-branch fruit pattern flat bottle in Yongzheng period in Qing Dynasty, are the best blue-and-white porcelain in China. According to the market valuation at that time, the total price of stolen treasures exceeded 1 100 million yuan. This is the biggest theft of cultural relics in China since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the second largest theft of cultural relics in the world after the Mona Lisa theft!
Kaifeng immediately established the "9. 18" mega-cultural relics theft detection headquarters with Xu Runrun, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and Wu Guoqiang, secretary of the Party Committee of the Municipal Public Security Bureau as the commander. The police force in the province is mainly criminal police detachment, and more than 200 elite soldiers have been mobilized from the departments directly under the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the traffic police brigade and the public security brigade, and all the investigation elites have gathered together.
After several days and nights of fighting, the scene investigation team * * * extracted 109 kinds of physical evidence and traces left by criminals. Through scientific and technological monitoring and empirical analysis of all kinds of physical evidence and traces, the headquarters believes that the largest theft of cultural relics in China since the founding of the People's Republic of China was committed by a criminal gang that fled across regions, with more than two perpetrators. Two criminals went straight to the scene. One is about 1.70 meters tall, with a strong figure and a medium posture. He is about 25 years old. The man was wearing a pair of pull-back sneakers when he committed the crime. The other criminal is about 1.72 meters, with a thin figure and an age of about 30 years. The man was wearing a pair of curved shoes when he committed the crime.
With the deepening of the investigation, all kinds of information followed. Wu Yuzhu, a worker in Baogong Lake Fishing Ground, said: At 1: 50 on the morning of the incident, he and his colleague Gu and others patrolled the lake to the north wall of Baofukeng gas station on the south ring road of Zhongkeng, and found a white Santana car parked here. Wu Yuzhu took a photo of the license plate with a strong flashlight and said, "This is an air force car, and the army car is still playing tricks here." Because I was patrolling the lake the other night and found a couple having sex in the car.
Li Juan, an employee of the museum, and the armed police soldiers on duty here provided an even more important clue: in early September, two young people living in Tokyo Hotel visited the museum three times. One of them called himself a "professor of Wuhan University" and said Kaifeng attended a seminar on the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. The first time was at 2 pm on 1. Professor Wu Da went to the museum alone and visited the "Ming and Qing Palace Supplies Exhibition". The second time was after 2 pm on September 3. Professor Wu Da visited the museum again with a man about 1.70 meters tall. Because the afternoon study was not open, they only visited the "stone carving gallery" outside. The third time was on the morning of September 17. Professor Wu Da took a young man into the museum for the third time to visit the "Ming and Qing Palace Supplies Exhibition" in the north exhibition hall on the first floor.
After investigation by the police, it was confirmed that there was no seminar on the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in Kaifeng in early September.
According to this clue, the police quickly investigated 285 hotels, restaurants and guest houses in the city. On September 2nd, four Wuhan men stayed here and left the hotel on September 7th. His accommodation registration is: Li Jun, male, 28 years old. Tang Guoqiang, male, 32 years old. Chennault, male, 32 years old. The work units of the three are all Wuhan Railway Sub-bureau. The other person is not registered. Upon inquiry, there are no Li, Tang and Chen in Wuhan Railway Sub-bureau. Investigators found in the Yingbin Hotel diagonally opposite the museum that Li Jun, Tang Guoqiang and Chennault checked in on September 2, and their ID numbers were the same as those of Tokyo Hotel, but they didn't check in here after registration.
Late at night on September 29, the meeting room of the party group of Zhengzhou Public Security Bureau was still brightly lit, and the third work report meeting to solve the Kaifeng "9. 18" case was under way. When the director of Jinshui Public Security Bureau talked about a theft case of Santana car in Jinqiao Hotel in Zhengzhou on August 5, it immediately attracted the attention of Kaifeng Public Security Bureau's "9. 18" working group in Zhengzhou.
It is understood that on July 29th, three youths claiming to be Guangzhou Hongda Electronics Company drove a red car with military vehicle number plate "K43- 1008" to Jinqiao Hotel, and entered the room 1003 to discuss car purchase with Fu Huancheng, director of Kaifeng Electromechanical Company in Zheng. The names of these three young people are Lin Sha and Li Junhe Chennault.
At noon the next day, Lin Sha and others asked for a test run. When one of them was driving a white Santana for a test drive in the hotel courtyard, he suddenly drove out of the hotel gate and returned for about 40 minutes. A few days later, Fu Huancheng found that the white Santana that had been tried out was gone.
After careful analysis, it is determined that Lin, Li, Chen and Tang in Zheng Case and Bian Case were committed by a gang. According to the physical features provided by hotel service personnel and employees of Kaifeng Electromechanical Company, the headquarters imitated the portraits of Li and Chen. Li Juan and armed police soldiers identified Chennault as "Professor Wu Da".
"Santana car may be the breakthrough." The headquarters immediately decided to combine the two cases for investigation, whether to find someone by car or by people looking for cars. However, finding an ordinary white Santana among millions of motor vehicles in China is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack. After careful analysis, the headquarters focused the investigation on Jiangcheng Wuhan. Wu Heping, director of Kaifeng Public Security Bureau, immediately led a capable investigation team to Wuhan. At this time, Pan Zheng, deputy director of Wuhan Public Security Bureau, organized the police in three towns to fight side by side with the working group led by Zhang Tianzeng, the detachment leader of Kaifeng Public Security Bureau, who arrived in advance.
After investigation by the police in the two places, it was found that there was a military organ opposite the railway sub-bureau, and Wuhan University was at the foot of Luojia Mountain not far from here. "Chennault" and others claimed to be "from the provincial military region" when they bought a car at Jinqiao Hotel in Zhengzhou, and were also called "Professor Wu Da" when they visited Kaifeng Museum. In such a big city as Wuhan, these three units are so concentrated together! "We will pay attention to this field and focus on investigation." Wu Heping flatly ordered.
After more than ten days of intense work, Wuhan public security organs found some clues related to the "9. 18" case, and the scope of investigation gradually narrowed, eventually narrowing to less than one square kilometer.
At the same time, the headquarters ordered Wang Wei, who grew up in Wuhan and was familiar with Wuhan's geography and interpersonal relationships, to take his wife Li Jingping, who works in the bureau's public security department, to work in Wuhan in the name of visiting relatives and friends.
65438+February 1 morning 10, Wang Wei, dressed in casual clothes, wandered from east to west on Nanjing Road in Hankou. When he reached the intersection of Poyang Street and Nanjing Road, a white Santana came from the north. The couple's sharp eyes are fixed on the license plate at the same time: "K43- 1008"! "Call a taxi!" Wang gave his wife a task and flew in the direction of "K43- 1008".
On the wide road, "Taxi" held on to "K43- 1008". After several turns, the target stopped at the north side outside the gate of Wuhan Customs, and two people who got off the bus stepped into the customs compound. The taxi commanded by Wang Wei also quietly stopped at the south side of the customs gate. Wang Wei held up a camera prepared in advance to take pictures and ordered his wife to "call the headquarters to report the situation". After taking the photo, he went into the customs yard for inspection, leaving only his five-year-old daughter in the taxi.
After receiving a call from Li Jingping, division marshal Zhang Tianzeng led the investigators to the customs. However, before Zhang Tianzeng and his party arrived, "K43- 1008" had escaped from the customs ... It was identified that the driver photographed by Wang Wei was a person with a pseudonym of Tang Guoqiang. That night, more than 3,000 police officers from Wuhan Public Security Bureau went to the main streets and intersections of the three towns, waiting for the net to be closed.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, "K43- 1008" finally appeared. Wang, a policeman of Wuchang Traffic Brigade, found and seized a white Santana car with the military photo "K43- 1008" and its driver's license in Xiaodongmen, Wuchang District, but the driver ran away with the same woman. According to the detained driver's license, the driver's name is Liu Jin, who lives at No.458 Wuhan Road, and the woman involved is Liu's wife Ai Mou. Check the engine number of the white Santana car. It is indeed the stolen vehicle of Jinqiao Hotel in Zhengzhou.
At this time, Liu Jin has become an "ant on hot bricks". He really loves to play with cars, especially this brand-new white Santana. He thinks the "9.6438+08" case is flawless. He started driving three days ago. When he was stopped by the traffic police, Liu Jin felt that there was a catastrophe, so he asked someone to inquire about the news.
65438+At 6 pm on February 3rd, the police of Wuchang Traffic Brigade and Hanyang Branch learned that a man named Yang Changming was inquiring about the impoundment of the car. Deputy Director Pan and Deputy Director Hu Antai decided decisively: "Take them alive and follow them!"
On February 3rd, 65438, Hanyang Public Security Bureau captured Yang Changming and others on the 4th floor of Gate 4 of Heping New Village in Hanyang District. On the evening of the 6th, the public security organs searched Yang Changming's house and found five cultural relics, including the blue Hua Hudie pattern bottle, the blue and white painted pattern bottle and the yellow glazed porcelain furnace of Wanli Ge Kiln, at No.44 Meiyan Village, all of which were stolen from Kaifeng Museum on September 18.
In the face of hard facts, Yang Changming confessed the fact that his brother-in-law Liu Nongjun (alias Chennault), Liu Jin (alias Lin Sha), Wen Xishan (alias Tang Guoqiang) and Li Jun stole Kaifeng Museum on September 18:
On September 20th, 1992, Liu Jin, Liu Nongjun and others drove a white Santana back to Wuhan from Zhengzhou, and called Yang Changming with a BP machine, asking him to prepare some packaging materials such as cartons and pieces of paper, saying that there were a batch of things to be packed. Later, Liu Nongjun asked Yang Changming if there was an empty house, and Yang Changming said yes.
That night, when Yang Changming went to find Liu Nongjun, Yang Changming walked into the room and found Liu Nongjun's friends Peng Jian (Wuhan Prison Police) and Wang Yiqiang (Peng Jian's uncle, manager of Shiny Boutique) also in the room. When Yang Changming saw the neatly packed cartons in the room and asked, "What is this?" , Liu Nongjun said gloomily, "cultural relics. If you say it, you will shoot (shoot)! " This 12 box of cultural relics was transferred to Peng Jian's house that night, and Liu Nongjun and Li Jun took the 1 box, and the remaining two boxes were placed at Yang Changming's father's house.
On February 6th, 65438, Wuhan Public Security Bureau arrested Peng Jian. Peng Jian confessed that in June of 12, Peng Jian and Wang Yiqiang disguised 9 boxes of cultural relics with a 18 inch Triumph TV box and two sound column boxes. On June 13, Peng Guoli drove them, Wang Yiqiang and Peng Jianhu took them to Wangjiadun Airport and put them on the 403 1 plane.
65438+February 10, the Ministry of Public Security issued a wanted notice to the whole country, wanted the main suspects Liu and Liu Jin.
Forced by the powerful offensive of policies and laws, Wang Yiqiang, who fled to Guangzhou in the south, returned to Wuhan to surrender himself and provided Liu Nongjun and Liu Jin with venues in Guangzhou. In order to prevent stolen cultural relics and major criminals from leaving the country, the headquarters decided to concentrate its efforts on encirclement and suppression of criminals in Guangzhou.
More than ten days later, a mysterious phone call was made to the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau, offering to hand over the cultural relics, but afraid of arresting people. After careful planning by Guangzhou Public Security Bureau, 55 stolen cultural relics were transferred to Guangzhou and handed over to Guangzhou Public Security Bureau through 1 1 at 0: 55 on February 23rd. When the good news came, the headquarters of "Operation 9. 18" was full of joy. In addition to congratulating the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security, they also asked the police officers who participated in the war to arrest four other principal criminals. The remaining nine cultural relics were finally returned to Zhao intact.
1993 1.9 On 12.40, the working group in Guangzhou got an important message: Liu Nongjun sent someone to Guangzhou that day to raise funds for his escape. How to lure the snake out of the hole? The policemen and criminals involved in the war began to fight with each other.
65438+1At 2: 40pm on October 9th, a young man wearing a jacket and sunglasses was caught red-handed when he appeared furtively in the streets of Guangzhou. Two Venezuelan passports of Liu Nongjun and his wife Ling Haibin, named Ling Dawei and Ling Haihong respectively, two air tickets from Hong Kong to London and other money were found from him. According to his account, Liu Nongjun was lurking in Qingdao, preparing to leave the country after plastic surgery. Qingdao Public Security Bureau was moved by the news, and on the evening of June 9th, 65438, Liu Nongjun, the principal offender of the "9. 18 case", was arrested.
Liu Nongjun, 29, from Wuchang District, Wuhan. When I was studying in Wuhan Public Security School, I was fired for theft. After that, he graduated from Jianghan University in Hubei. Since 1983, he has been on the run for a long time and established relations with underworld organizations in Hong Kong and Macao. In order to steal cultural relics and smuggle them out of the country, he devoted himself to studying cultural relics books. Because of his scheming, the underworld called him a "computer".
Under the attack tactics of public security personnel, three days later, Liu Nongjun finally confessed the criminal facts of planning, directing and stealing cultural relics in Kaifeng Museum. Afterwards, the investigator found out the hidden address of Wenxi Mountain in a foothold of Liu Nongjun.
Wen Xishan, 33, is from Jingtouwei Town, Dongan County, Hunan Province. 1983 he was sentenced to nine years in prison for committing theft. 1986 released early after commutation in may, and committed crimes for a long time. Wen Xishan separated from other thieves and sneaked into the northeast alone. When he learned that his associates were arrested one by one, Wen Xishan was ready to abscond again. Just as he hastily settled his residence in the guest house of Jilin Labor Bureau and was ready to escape, the criminal police members of Jilin Public Security Bureau blocked his way like magic soldiers.
On June 65438+1October 65438+July 4 pm, the working group in Guangzhou received reliable news that Liu Jin would appear at the gate of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine at 6 pm. Liu Jin, 30, lives at No.458, Zhu Min Road, Wuhan. /kloc-neglected for killing at the age of 0/5; 1982 was reeducated through labor for theft and fled abroad for a long time after being rehabilitated. Guangzhou Huifu Road 17, at 6: 00 pm, a red Santana car entered the Chinese medicine hospital from south to north. Cai Yonggang and Xu Dagang, the criminal police officers of Kaifeng Public Security Bureau, who were waiting here, jumped over the roadside guardrail and flew to the car. Liu Jin realized that something was wrong, closed the door and shouted to the driver, "Drive faster! Drive faster! " But it's too late. Xu Dagang held a pistol in front of the car and shouted, "Don't move!" Facing the dark muzzle, the driver put out the fire. At the same time, Cai Yonggang rushed into the car like a hungry tiger and captured Liu Jin alive.
At this time, only Li Jun was the principal offender in the "9. 18" case. Li Jun, born in Yongji County, Jilin City, Jilin Province, has been at large for a long time. The Pre-trial Team of Kaifeng Public Security Bureau seized the opportunity that the criminal was in shock and raided Wen Xishan. After the trial, Wen Xishan not only explained the whole process of committing the crime, but also provided Li Jun's hiding place in Jilin. The information was fed back to Jilin, and the public security organs of Jilin City captured Li Jun who was preparing for the New Year at home with lightning speed. With the black tide of international cultural relics smuggling rolling up, Liu Nongjun has already turned his greedy eyes to the cultural relics of Kaifeng Museum. 199 1 In June, he joined forces with Liu Jin, Li Jun and Wen Xishan, three criminals with their own unique skills, and started the crime of stealing cultural relics. In order to enhance the mobility of crime, they first stole a red Li Xia car in Guangzhou. Then Peng Guoli changed the license plate of a military vehicle in Han to "K43- 1008" and hung it on the car.
1In July, 1992, Liu Nongjun and his gang went to Kaifeng Museum twice to plot a crime plan. Liu Nongjun and others thought that the speed of Li Xia car was too slow, so they stole the white Santana car that Kaifeng Electromechanical Company was selling. On September 16, the sky was overcast. They drove from Han to Bian with tools for committing crimes, and drove into Kaifeng city on September 17 to observe the situation in the museum. At 9: 30 pm, Liu Nongjun and his party were watching around the museum. 18, at 1 o'clock in the morning, they parked the K43- 1008 car outside the north wall of the south bank gas station in Zhongkeng, Baogong Lake, and Liu Nongjun and Liu Jin curled up in the car and used walkie-talkies for remote control. Wen Xishan and Li Jun were admitted to the hospital over the wall and committed crimes. At 5 o'clock in the morning, Liu Jin drove to the north wall of the museum to meet him, put the stolen cultural relics in the trunk of the car, and then fled.
Mills of God grind slowly but sure. It's an elaborate case of stealing cultural relics. With the unremitting efforts of the police, thousands of miles have been traced. Not only were all the principal criminals arrested, but all the stolen cultural relics were returned to Zhao intact.
