Chapter 6 1992 Kaifeng cultural relics theft case

September 18, 1992, rain, Kaifeng Museum, beside Baogong Lake in Kaifeng, Henan. At 8:30 in the morning, the waiters Ma Haijuan and Cui Qiaoling skillfully opened the door of the museum's Ming and Qing palace supplies exhibition hall as usual, ready to welcome visitors.But as soon as they entered the door, they were shocked. The exhibition hall was in a mess, and several display cabinets were empty. At 8:31, the walkie-talkie of Kaifeng Criminal Police Detachment Captain Zhang Tianzeng beeped. "What's up?" "Report to the command center, call 213! A large number of treasures have been stolen from the exhibition hall of Ming and Qing palace supplies in the museum. Investigators are requested to come to the scene as soon as possible!"

At 8:40, Zhang Tianzeng led the detectives to the museum quickly and started the investigation immediately. Subsequently, Wu Heping, director of the Kaifeng Municipal Public Security Bureau, and Hu Antai, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, also rushed to the scene from different locations. After a preliminary investigation by the police, it was found that 8 display cabinets in the exhibition hall had been broken into, and 69 precious cultural relics had been stolen, including 59 national first-class and second-class cultural relics.Four first-class cultural relics, including the blue and white lotus pattern plate with intertwined branches in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the yellow glazed porcelain plate of the Ming Hongzhi style, the three-legged furnace with the back pattern of the Mingde Hua kiln, and the flat bottle with red folded branches and fruit patterns in the blue and white glaze in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, were fired in Chinese kilns. The best of blue and white porcelain; and the other three first-class cultural relics, sapphire mountain son, sapphire bergamot flower holder, sapphire cai handle living ring, etc., are all palace supplies in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. rare.These cultural relics are exquisite, refined and beautiful, and they are actually national treasures.According to the market valuation at that time, the total value of the stolen treasures exceeded 100 million yuan.

There are many cultural relics in the Kaifeng Museum, and its Ming and Qing court supplies are the most precious cultural relics in the museum, which can be called the treasure of the town hall.Since the museum was completed and opened on October 1, 1988, there have been ten cases of theft, including four cases of theft of cultural relics, and the stolen cultural relics in those four cases were all ordinary cultural relics. Precious, and the quantity is astonishing, indeed shocking. At the scene, the police collected a variety of physical evidence and traces such as red velveteen cloth, black ticket clips, glass knives, shoe prints, and pry marks.

This is the largest theft of cultural relics in the country since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the second largest theft of cultural relics in the world after the theft of the "Mona Lisa"! The Kaifeng City Public Security Bureau quickly reported the case to the Henan Provincial Public Security Department, which in turn reported it to the Ministry of Public Security without hesitation. On the same day, Kaifeng City immediately established a headquarters to detect the "9.18" extraordinarily large cultural relics theft, with Xu Furun, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and Wu Guoqiang, Party Secretary of the Municipal Public Security Bureau as commanders; the Henan Provincial Public Security Department established a deputy department headed by Wang Jisheng The leader of the investigation "9.18" coordination team.The province's public security officers were mobilized urgently, with the strength of the criminal police detachment as the main force. More than 200 elite soldiers were mobilized from the departments directly under the public security sub-bureaus in the urban area, the traffic police brigade, and the public security brigade.

After analyzing the preliminary investigation on the spot and grasping the current climate of international cultural relics smuggling, the headquarters quickly formulated the investigation policy of "Based in Kaifeng, facing the whole province, radiating the whole country, and extending overseas".Starting from the five aspects of on-site investigation, physical evidence investigation, visit and investigation, stolen goods control, and social mobilization, the officers and police participating in the war were divided into five groups to find people with objects and attack in an all-round way.

After several days and nights of hard work, the on-site investigation team collected 12 kinds of physical evidence and traces left by the criminals and 109 pieces.Through scientific and technological monitoring and empirical analysis of various physical evidence and traces, the headquarters believes that the country's largest theft of cultural relics since the founding of the People's Republic of China was committed by criminal gangs who fled across regions, and there were more than two criminals. Judging from the scene, the criminal was familiar with the Ming and Qing court supplies exhibition halls and the surrounding environment of the museum, and had gone through many visits and premeditated planning beforehand, so the criminal must have a foothold in Kaifeng.

Judging from the means of committing the crime, the perpetrator is a high-intelligence crime, with prying experience, climbing skills, anti-investigation awareness, and research on cultural relics and infrared alarms. There were two criminals who entered the scene directly. One was about 170 meters tall, fit and of medium build, about 25 years old. This person was wearing a pair of pull-back sneakers while committing the crime; the other was about 172 meters tall, Thin build, about 30 years old, this person was wearing a pair of curved shoes when committing the crime. According to the above results, the headquarters ordered to carry out investigations and visits within the city, and urgently mobilized all forces in society to provide clues to solve the case.

With the deepening of the investigation, all kinds of information came one after another. Wu Yuzhu, a worker at the Baogong Lake Fish Farm, reported that at 1:50 a.m. on the day of the incident, when he and his colleague Gu Baoguo patrolled the lake to the north wall of the Baofukeng Gas Station on Zhongkeng South Ring Road, they found a white Santana sedan parked in the this.Wu Yuzhu took a photo of the license plate with a strong flashlight and said, "This is a car from the Air Force. The army's car is still doing tricks here." Because a few nights ago when he was patrolling the lake, he found a man and a woman having sex in the car.

"On what basis do you say that car is a Santana?" "I like to play with cars, and I know that only the Santana sedan has the highest taillight position." "Why do you say it's a troop car, an air force car?" "I've been in the military and know that cars with white license plates with a red 'K' are Air Force." "Remember the license plate number?" "Just remember that there is either one zero or two zeros in the middle, and I can't remember the rest of the numbers." For this reason, the special class of police interviewed many people who had been to the museum and worked near the museum.Soon sanitation worker Yang Changming also confirmed that at about 3:40 a.m. on the day of the incident, when he went to work outside the north wall of the Baofukeng gas station on South Ring Road, Zhongkeng, Baogong Lake, he found a light-colored car parked there. It was too dark to see the license plate number clearly.

Two workers from Kaifeng Zhongsi Wooden Cultural Products Co., Ltd. provided clues: At 3 o'clock in the morning on the 18th, we got up to cook and saw a person on the inclined wall.This person has a round face, big eyes, and a pale complexion, much like a singer Chi Mou. Li Juan, an employee of the museum, and the armed police soldiers on duty provided a more important clue. According to their recollection: in early September, two young people who lived in the Tokyo Grand Hotel visited the museum three times.One of them claimed to be a "professor of Wuhan University" and said that he came to Kaifeng to participate in the "Seminar on the Middle and Lower Yellow River".The first time was around 2:00 pm on September 1. The "Professor of Wuhan University" came to the museum alone. He chatted with the armed police and staff in the museum in front of the progress hall, and asked about the night-time caregivers in the museum.After the conversation, he visited the "Exhibition of Ming and Qing Court Supplies". He seemed to understand cultural relics, and he was very fascinated. He stayed in the hall for more than an hour; the second time was at 2 o'clock in the afternoon on September 3. 170 meters tall man came to visit the museum again, because the afternoon study was not open, they did not have a progress hall, they only visited the "Stone Carved Gallery" on the outside; the third time was on the morning of September 17, "Professor of Wuda A young man entered 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 no "Seminar on the Middle and Lower Yellow River" was held in Kaifeng in early September.

According to this clue, the police quickly checked 285 hotels, restaurants, guest houses, and hostels in the city, and confirmed that: from August 31 to September 18, more than 27,200 foreign tourists aged 18 to 35 came to Bian to register for accommodation. , including 85 passengers from Wuhan.It was found at the Tokyo Grand Hotel, 200 meters away from the Kaifeng Museum, that four men from Wuhan came to stay here on September 2 and left the hotel on September 7.His accommodation registration is: Li Jun, male, 28 years old, ID number: 420111640807053, work unit: Wuhan Railway Branch.Tang Guoqiang, male, 32 years old, ID number: 420111600618123, work unit: Wuhan Railway Branch.Chennault, male, 32 years old, ID number: 420111600812041, work unit: Wuhan Railway Branch.Another person did not register.After investigation, the Wuhan Railway Branch Bureau did not register Li, Tang, and Chen at the hotel, and their ID cards were fake.Investigators also found in the accommodation registration book of the Yingbin Hotel diagonally across from the museum that the ID numbers of Li Jun, Tang Guoqiang, and Chennault’s accommodation registrations on September 2 were the same as those filled in at the Tokyo Grand Hotel, but after registration Did not stay here. A waitress at the Yingbin Hotel recalled: "When I saw their registered names, I suddenly found the word 'Tang Guoqiang'. I thought that a big star was coming, but after seeing them, I realized that they were people with the same name and different names." Late at night on September 29, the city, which had been noisy all day, gradually fell asleep.However, the party meeting room of the Zhengzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau is still brightly lit, and the third work report meeting on the investigation of the "9.18" case in Kaifeng is in progress.When the director of the Jinshui Public Security Bureau mentioned a case of theft of a Santana car from the Jinqiao Hotel in Zhengzhou on August 5, it immediately attracted the attention of the Kaifeng Municipal Public Security Bureau's "9.18" working group stationed in Zheng. It was learned that on July 29, three youths who claimed to be from Guangzhou Hongda Electronics Co., Ltd. drove a red Xiali car with military license plate K43-1008 to Jinqiao Hotel, entered Room 1003, and negotiated with Fu Huancheng, the director of the Zhengzhou office of Kaifeng Electromechanical Co., Ltd. car purchase matters.The names of these three youths were Lin Sha, Li Jun, and Chennault. At noon the next day, Lin Sha and others asked for a test drive.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 after about 40 minutes. A few days later, Fu Huancheng discovered that the white Santana that had been tested had disappeared. After investigation, it was learned that Li Jun, Lin Sha, Chennault and others occupied two rooms 1203 and 1201 of the Jinqiao Hotel.However, the personal information filled in during the stay was false, and the ID card used was also forged after technical investigation. After receiving the report from the Zheng working group, everyone had a premonition that the case might have turned around.The decision makers of the command immediately started a discussion: "Lin, Li, Chen, and Tang have all lived in Zhengzhou Jinqiao Hotel and Kaifeng Tokyo Hotel at the same time, and there have been military license plates with the prefix K in both places. What does this mean?" Are the four people Lin, Li, Chen, and Tang who appeared in Zheng and Bian a gang? After careful analysis and comparison, everyone agreed that the two cases were committed by a gang. According to the physical characteristics of Li Jun, Chennault and others provided by the hotel service staff in Zheng and Bian and the employees of Kaifeng Electromechanical Company, the project headquarters made simulated portraits of Li, Chen and others.After being identified by Li Juan and the armed police fighters, Chennault is the "Professor of Wuhan University". Li Zhibin, director of the Henan Provincial Public Security Department, also deduced after listening to the whole situation report: "The Santana car may be the breakthrough point." But among the millions of motor vehicles in the country, looking for the most common white Santana is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.The police officers fought hard for more than 50 days and nights, but there was still no major breakthrough in the case.The work of solving the case has reached an impasse. After a careful analysis, the decision makers of the headquarters focused their investigation on the Jiangcheng city of Wuhan.Wu Heping, director of the Kaifeng Public Security Bureau, immediately led a capable investigation team to Wuhan.At this time, Pan Xianren, deputy director of the Wuhan Public Security Bureau, and his assistants were organizing police officers from the three towns to fight side by side with a working group led by Captain Zhang Tianzeng of the Kaifeng Public Security Bureau, who had arrived earlier. "How about taking everyone on a tour first?" Wu Heping asked with a smile. "Okay." Hu An, deputy director of the Wuhan Public Security Bureau, replied comprehensibly.So under the guidance of the young director, the investigators drove into the downtown area.This group of uninvited guests first came to the Zhongnan Commercial Building.Then, the car stopped at the Wuhan Railway Branch.At this time, the investigators suddenly realized: Isn’t this the unit that the suspect filled in when he stayed at the Tokyo Grand Hotel? Surprisingly, there is a military institution opposite the railway sub-bureau, and Wuhan University is located at the foot of Luojia Mountain not far from here. "Chennault" and others once claimed to be "from the provincial military region" when they "buy a car" at the Jinqiao Hotel in Zhengzhou, and they also called themselves "Professors of Wuhan University" when they "visited" the Kaifeng Museum. In the huge city of Wuhan, these three units happen to be so concentrated together! "We will focus on this area and focus on the investigation." Wu Heping ordered categorically. After listening to Wu Heping's proposal, Pan Xianren, deputy director of the Wuhan Public Security Bureau, and the director of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Wuhan Municipal Bureau, after careful study, held a special meeting and asked the captains of the criminal police in each urban area and the municipal bureaus to deal with riot prevention, public security, household administration, and transportation. The person in charge attended the meeting.Citywide action begins. After more than ten days of intensive work, the public security organs in Wuhan discovered some clues related to the "9.18" case, and the scope of investigation gradually narrowed down to less than one square kilometer. At the same time, the headquarters ordered Wang Wei, who grew up in Wuhan and is familiar with Wuhan's geography and interpersonal relationships, to go to Wuhan to start work with his wife Li Jingping, who works in the Bureau's Security Section, and their daughter in the name of visiting relatives and friends. At 10 a.m. on December 1, Wang Wei, dressed in casual clothes, took a walk with his wife and daughter along the Nanjing Road in Hankou from east to west. When you reach the intersection of Poyang Street and Nanjing Road, a white Santana comes from the north.It was too late to say, but soon, the husband and wife stared sharply at the license plate at the same time: "K43-1008"! "Hurry up and call a taxi!" Wang Wei gave his wife a task, while quickly chasing in the direction of "K43-1008". "Follow that car, I'm from the Public Security Bureau!" Xiao Wang got into the "taxi", showed his work permit, and ordered the driver to speed up. On the wide road, "Taxi" is holding on to "K43-1008".After turning a few turns, the target stopped abruptly on the north side of the gate of Wuhan Customs, and two people got out of the car and walked into the customs compound.At this time, the "taxi" commanded by Wang Wei also quietly stopped on the south side outside the customs gate.Wang Wei held up the camera he had prepared in advance and while taking pictures, he ordered his wife to "call the headquarters to report the situation."After taking the photos, Wang Wei walked into the customs yard to check. Only his five-year-old daughter was left in the "taxi". After receiving a call from Li Jingping, Captain Zhang Tianzeng led the investigators to the customs. However, before Zhang Tianzeng and his party arrived, "K43-1008" had already left the customs and was speeding on the busy street, and the "taxi" in which Wang Wei was riding was chasing after him.During the chase, suddenly a bus cuts in obliquely, and the "taxi" driver has to slam on the brakes. When the "taxi" overtakes the bus, the target has disappeared... It was identified that the driver in the photo taken by Wang Wei was a man named Tang Guoqiang.Upon hearing the news, Pan Xianren, deputy director of the Wuhan Public Security Bureau, immediately said: "Since the target is in Wuhan, we will dig three feet to find him!" That night, more than 3,000 policemen from the Wuhan Public Security Bureau divided the main streets of the three towns. , intersection, set up a net to wait. On the 2nd, through the investigation of the customs, it was found that the person who took a white Santana car to Wuhan Customs was named Liu Yu, male, 30 years old, and lived at No. 2, 4th Floor, No. 67, Huaqiao Second Village, Jiang'an District.Liu Yu went to the customs at around 8:15 a.m. on the 1st to go to Zhuhai Gongbei Customs for motorcycle transfer procedures, and took a plane to Guangdong Gongbei Customs to pick up the goods at 11:50 a.m. that day. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, "K43-1008" finally appeared.Wang Xianjin, a policeman from the Wuchang Traffic Brigade, found and detained a white Santana car with a K43-1008 military license and the driver's license at Xiaodongmen, Wuchang District. The driver and the woman in the car sneaked away.According to the detained driver's license, the driver's name is Liu Jin, male, born on December 17, 1959, ID number is 420102591217001, and he lives at No. 458-6-3-5 Minzhu Road, Wuchang. The female is Liu's lover Ai Mou.After checking the engine number of the white Santana car, it was known that it was indeed a stolen vehicle in Zhengzhou Jinqiao Hotel. At this time, Liu Jin has become "an ant on a hot pot".He really loves to play with cars, and he can't put it down even more for this brand new white Santana car. Moreover, he thinks that the "9.18" case is perfect, and the police will never find him anyway.Therefore, even though his "big brother" who has always admired warned him "don't drive out again, or you will get into trouble", he dismissed it.Three days ago, he started driving around. When he was stopped by the traffic police, Liu Jin felt that a disaster was imminent, so he asked people around to find out the news. "K43-1008" was detained, which became a breakthrough for the public security organs to track and detect "9·18".The police decided to stand still and wait on the sidelines, allowing the criminals to cast themselves into the trap. At 6:00 p.m. on December 3, Wuchang Traffic Brigade and Hanyang Branch Police learned that a person named Yang Changming was inquiring about the impounded car and asked to take away the impounded white Santana.Deputy Director Pan Xianren and Deputy Director Hu Antai decisively decided: "Catch Yang Changming, follow the clues!" On December 3, the Hanyang Public Security Bureau arrested Yang Changming and others on the 4th Floor, Gate 4, Heping New Village, Hanyang District. On the evening of December 6, the public security organs searched Yang Changming’s home in accordance with the law. At No. 44 Meiyan Village, the criminal police found five cultural relics, including Wanli Ge Kiln blue and white butterfly vases, blue and white painted vases, and yellow glazed porcelain furnaces. .After checking, these five cultural relics are all treasures stolen from the Kaifeng Museum on September 18. In the face of hard facts, Yang Changming explained the fact that his brother-in-law Liu Nongjun (pseudonym Chennault) together with Liu Jin (pseudonym Lin Sha), Wen Xishan (pseudonym Tang Guoqiang), and Li Jun stole the Kaifeng Museum on September 18: On September 20, 1992, Liu Jin, Liu Nongjun and others drove a white Santana car back to Wuhan from Zhengzhou, and gave Yang Changming a BP machine, asking him to prepare some packing materials such as cardboard boxes and shredded paper strips, saying that there was a batch of things that needed to be packed.Yang Changming found a few cardboard boxes and some shredded paper.Later, Liu Nongjun asked Yang Changming "Is there any vacant house?" Yang Changming said "Yes". That night, when Yang Changming went to find Liu Nongjun, he asked Yang Changming to wait outside the door for a while with a secretive expression.About half an hour later, Yang Changming entered the room and found Liu Nongjun's friends Peng Jian (Wuhan prison policeman) and Wang Yiqiang (Peng Jian's uncle, manager of Liangjingjing boutique) were also in the room.When Yang Changming saw the neatly packed cardboard boxes in the house and asked, "What is it?", Liu Nongjun said sullenly: "Cultural relics. If you tell them, you will be handed over (shot)!" The 12 boxes of cultural relics were transferred to Peng Jian's home that night 9 Liu Nongjun and Li Jun took away one box, and put the remaining two boxes at Yang Changming's father's house. On December 6, Peng Jian was arrested by Wuhan Public Security Bureau.Peng Jian confessed: On October 12, Peng Jian and Wang Yiqiang used an 18-inch Veuve TV box and two sound column boxes to disguise nine boxes of cultural relics. On the 13th, Peng Guoli drove, Wang Yiqiang and Peng Jian escorted them to Wangjiadun Airport, sent to the No. 4031 aircraft, transported to Guangdong Foshan Airport.Afterwards, Liu Longjun and Wang Yiqiang took the same day's plane to Foshan and picked up the goods at Foshan Airport. On December 10, the Ministry of Public Security issued a warrant to the whole country to arrest the main suspects in the case, Liu Longjun and Liu Jin. Forced by the powerful offensive of policies and laws, Wang Yiqiang, who fled south to Guangzhou, returned to Wuhan and surrendered, and provided information on the activities of Liu Nongjun and Liu Jin in Guangzhou. The victory in Wuhan did not ease the minds of the commanders who solved the "9.18" case: Although the case has become clear, the criminals are likely to hide after hearing the news, making it more difficult for the next step to arrest and recover stolen goods. In order to prevent the stolen cultural relics and the main criminals from leaving the country, the headquarters decided to concentrate superior forces and encircle and wipe out the criminals in Guangzhou in one fell swoop. More than ten days later, a mysterious phone call was made to the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, expressing willingness to hand over the cultural relics, but afraid of arresting people, they dared not go there. After careful planning by the comrades of the 11th Division of the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau, 55 stolen cultural relics were transferred to Sui and handed over to the 11th Division of the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau at 0:55 on December 23. When the good news came, the headquarters of the "9.18 Action" was elated, and the hearts that had been worried for a long time were instantly calmed down.In addition to congratulations, the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security asked the police officers who participated in the war to arrest the other four main criminals in one go, and the remaining nine cultural relics were finally "returned to Zhao". At 12:40 on January 9, 1993, the working group to Guangzhou obtained an important piece of information: Liu Nongjun sent people to Guangzhou on the same day to raise funds for his escape. The situation is urgent and the stakes are high. How to lure the snake out of the hole?The police officers and criminals who participated in the war began a battle of wits and courage.Under the auspices of Childhood Gen, the left-behind members of the working group worked out a set of combat plans. At 2:40 p.m. on January 9, when a young man wearing a jacket and sunglasses appeared on the streets of Guangzhou with a panicked and sneaky expression, he was caught by the guards on the spot.Two Venezuelan passports, aliased as Ling Dawei and Ling Haihong, belonging to Liu Nongjun and his wife Ling Haibin, two air tickets from Hong Kong to London, and other money were found on him.According to his account, Liu Nongjun is lurking in Qingdao, preparing to leave the country after plastic surgery. The weight of this information is self-evident, and the comrades of the Guangzhou working group fed back the information to the headquarters at 5 pm that day.The Qingdao Municipal Public Security Bureau acted upon hearing the news, and arrested Liu Nongjun, the first offender of the "9.18 Case" on the evening of January 9. Liu Nongjun, 29 years old, was born in Wuchang District, Wuhan City.After graduating from middle school, he studied in Wuhan Public Security School and was expelled for stealing school teaching equipment.After that, he graduated from Jianghan University in Hubei by self-study. Since 1983, he has been wandering abroad for a long time, and has established relationships with Hong Kong and Macao underworld organizations.In order to steal cultural relics and smuggle them abroad, he closed his doors to thank guests and devoted himself to studying cultural relics and books.Because of his quick reflexes and scheming skills, the underworld called him "the computer". Liu Nongjun thought that the "September 18" case was done seamlessly, and the public security organs could not solve the case at all.Therefore, when interrogated by the public security officers, he acted like a normal person, sometimes answering irrelevant questions and talking in exaggeration; sometimes he was arrogant and avoided answering.In the face of the mighty Liu Nongjun, the police officers were not in a hurry, and they used their tricks. First, they let him talk a lot, and then found out the contradictions and loopholes, and concentrated their firepower to refute them one by one, to discourage him.Three days later, Liu Nongjun finally confessed the criminal facts of planning, directing, and stealing cultural relics from Kaifeng Museum.Afterwards, the investigators found out the hidden address of Wen Xishan at a foothold of Liu Nongjun. Wen Xishan, 33 years old, was from Youjiang Village, Jingtouxu Town, Dong'an County, Hunan Province. In 1983 he was sentenced to nine years in prison for theft. After his sentence was commuted and released early in May 1986, he fled and committed crimes for a long time, and was known as the "Jiangyang Bandit" in the underworld. Wen Xishan sneaked to the northeast alone after being separated from other criminals.After learning that his accomplices had been arrested one by one, Wen Xishan prepared to abscond again.Just as he hurriedly settled his accommodation accounts at the guest house of the Jilin City Labor Bureau and was about to flee, the capable criminal police members of the Jilin City Public Security Bureau blocked his way like heavenly soldiers. The news of the arrest of Wen Xishan and Liu Nongjun excited the police officers.Everyone is full of confidence and strives to capture the other two criminals as soon as possible and recover the stolen cultural relics. At about 4:00 p.m. on January 17, the Guangzhou working group received a reliable report: Liu Jin would appear at the gate of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine at 6:00 p.m. Liu Jin, 30 years old, lives at No. 458 Minzhu Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan City.When he was 15 years old, he was taken into custody for homicide; in 1982, he was sent to a labor camp for theft, and wandered outside for a long time after he was released. At 6:10 pm on the 17th, Huifu Road, Guangzhou.A red Santana car came from south to north and drove into the entrance of the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine.Cai Yonggang and Xu Dagang, criminal police officers from the Kaifeng Public Security Bureau who were waiting here, exchanged glances, jumped over the roadside guardrail, and rushed towards the car.At this time, the car was driving slowly, and Liu Jin noticed that there were two big northern men rushing towards him behind the car. Realizing that something was wrong, he closed the car door tightly and shouted at the driver: "Drive fast! Drive fast!" But It was too late, Xu Dagang had already leaned against the front of the car with a pistol in his hand, pointed the muzzle of the gun at the driver, and shouted: "Don't move!" Facing the black muzzle of the gun, the driver turned off the fire.At the same time, Cai Yonggang tightly held the handle of the right rear door, pedaled the car body, worked hard with luck, only heard a "bang", the locked door opened, and Cai Yonggang rushed into the car like a hungry tiger.Liu Jin was terrified and asked, "What are you doing? What are you doing?" Cai Yonggang's eyes widened with anger, he stretched out his iron arms, lifted Liu Jin out of the car like an eagle catching a chicken, and threw him out of the car. its bundled. On January 19, Liu Jin and Wen Xishan were escorted to Kaifeng respectively. At this time, only Li Jun remained as the main culprit in the "9.18" case. Li Jun, born at the age of 12, is a native of Yongji County, Jilin City, Jilin Province. He has been roaming around for a long time and committing crimes, engaging in illegal and criminal activities such as hooliganism and ticket speculation. The pre-trial team of the Kaifeng Public Security Bureau seized the opportunity when the criminal was still in shock and conducted a surprise trial on Wen Xishan.After interrogation, 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 again, and the public security organs in Jilin City captured Li Jun alive who was preparing for the Chinese New Year at home. As the black waves of international cultural relics smuggling rolled up, Liu Nongjun had already set his greedy eyes on the cultural relics collected in Kaifeng Museum.In June 1991, he brought under his command Liu Jin, Li Jun, and Wen Xishan, criminals with "stunt skills" in Guangzhou, and started the crime of stealing cultural relics.In order to enhance the mobility of the crime, they first stole a red Xiali car in Guangzhou.Then through Peng Guoli, the "K46-1008" military vehicle license plate of a certain unit stationed in Han was changed to "K43-1008" and hung on the vehicle. In July 1992, Liu Nongjun and his gang went to the Kaifeng Museum twice to investigate the situation and conspired to formulate a crime plan.In order to ensure that they could escape the scene quickly after committing the crime, Liu Nongjun and others felt that the speed of Xiali car was too slow, so they stole the white Santana sedan that was being sold by Kaifeng Electromechanical Company. On September 2, Liu Nongjun and others entered the Kaifeng Museum to visit the site. They drew a detailed distribution map and route map of the cultural relics in the exhibition hall, and waited for the opportunity to commit crimes. On September 16, the sky was covered with haze. They took the tools of crime and drove away from Han to Bian. On the 17, they drove into the urban area of ​​Kaifeng and went to the museum to observe the situation. Recharge.At 9:30 that night, Liu Nongjun and his gang sneaked back to Kaifeng from Lankao, spying around the museum. At about 1 am on the 18th, they parked the "K43-1008" car outside the north wall of the gas station on the south bank of Zhongkeng, Baogong Lake. Liu Nongjun and Liu Jin huddled in the car and commanded by remote control with a walkie-talkie; Wen Xishan and Li Jun climbed over the wall and were admitted to the hospital , broke into the room by breaking the window, and committed the crime.At about 5 o'clock in the morning, the indoor theft was completed, and Liu Jin drove to the north wall of the museum to meet him, placed the stolen cultural relics in the trunk of the car, and fled immediately. The sky network is restored, and it is not missed. This is such a well-planned major theft of cultural relics. With the unremitting efforts of the public security officers and thousands of miles of tracking, not only did not one of the main criminals slip through the net, but all the stolen cultural relics were returned to Zhao. An old saying: Don't stretch out your hand, you will be caught if you stretch out your hand.
