Chapter 7 Talented Vice Governor Hires Assassin to Kill Wife

Lu Debin, the former vice governor of Henan Province and deputy to the 10th Provincial People's Congress, was arrested on June 15 on suspicion of "hiring a murderer to kill his wife." Later, Lu was dismissed from his administrative position according to law, and his qualifications as a representative to the 10th Provincial People's Congress were removed and terminated. In just over 10 years, Lu Debin rose from a college teacher and vice president of a university to a deputy provincial cadre.But behind the prosperous official career, there are two failed marriages of Lu. In 2005, 52-year-old Lu Debin was born in Yanling, Henan.Although the family is poor, but academic success. In 1982, Lu Debin received a master's degree from Henan Agricultural University. Later, he applied for a scholarship to the University of Kansas in the United States and became the first group of Chinese students to study in the United States after the "Cultural Revolution".

Before going abroad, Lu Debin married a girl from the city and took his parents to the city.With a beautiful wife and healthy parents, Lu Debin believes that life is very happy.Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in the United States, his home phone came after him.The wife said that the parents-in-law lived a sloppy life and did not pay attention to hygiene. The parents said that the daughter-in-law was picky and difficult to serve. Lu Debin is trying to please both sides, hoping to calm things down, but because of differences in living habits between his parents and his wife, the family is always fighting, and it is getting worse and worse.Whenever he heard his parents crying on the phone, Lu Debin felt sad.Gradually, Lu Debin's emotional balance tilted towards his parents.Once, after taking a call from his parents, he gave his wife a hard time.The spoiled wife was angry and moved back to her mother's house with her newborn child.

Since then, Lu Debin's husband and wife relationship has been full of gloom. In April 1988, Lu Debin finished studying abroad and returned to his alma mater, Henan Agricultural University, to teach.After returning to China, the first thing Lu Debin did was to go to his father-in-law's house, and he persuaded his wife to go home after trying to talk about it.Lu Debin's humility and humiliation did not bring peace to the family. One day in 1991, Lu Debin came home from get off work. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the community, he saw his parents standing there, and he hurried forward to ask.It turned out that the wife wanted to drive her parents back to her hometown in the countryside.After Lu Debin persuaded his parents to go home, he didn't question his wife. He knew it would be useless to talk about it, and if his wife left again, he would have to "please" at that time.

In order to reduce friction at home, Lu Debin hired a nanny to take care of her parents' daily necessities and children.Not long after, Lu Debin, who was working at work, received a call from the babysitter, saying that his wife was going to drive his parents back to his hometown in the countryside.When he rushed home, he saw his parents were in tears, and couldn't help but quarrel with his wife.As a result, the wife moved back to her natal home with the child. Without the hostess at home, she suddenly became less angry and became deserted.Lu Debin also seemed listless at home. Every night, he couldn't help sighing, either holding a book blankly without turning a page for a long time, or staring straight at the TV without moving his eyes... All these actions of his fell into the eyes of the nanny Xiaohong and attracted her attention.In Xiaohong's eyes, Lu Debin is an excellent man with a handsome appearance, a kind personality and a successful career.Whenever she saw Lu Debin in a daze, she took the initiative to chat with him and accompany him to relieve boredom.Gradually, Lu Debin discovered that Xiaohong was not only beautiful, but also considerate.

Despite his repeated requests, his wife never came back, which made Lu Debin even more depressed.One evening, feeling irritable, he went for a walk in a nearby park, when the heavy rain came suddenly, and Lu Debin had to take shelter in front of a store.The dusk was getting thicker, but the rain didn't mean to stop at all.Just when Lu Debin decided to go home in the rain, a familiar figure appeared in the rain——Xiaohong.I saw her struggling to hold an umbrella in one hand, and holding an umbrella in the other hand, looking anxiously in the rain.When Xiaohong took the umbrella and saw her wet pants, Lu Debin felt that something in his heart was touched.

In the past, Lu Debin always didn't want to go home. At first, he was afraid of seeing conflicts between his wife and parents, but later he couldn't stand the desertedness at home.But after that rainstorm, Lu Debin developed an indescribable attachment to his home.Every day after get off work, he hurried home, and he didn't feel at ease until he saw Xiaohong's busy figure. In the early spring of 1992, the superior leaders came to the school to inspect the work, and Lu Debin, who usually did not drink alcohol, got drunk like mud.After returning home, he lay on the bed vomiting profusely.When Xiaohong finally cleaned up and brought the tea to the bed and was about to leave, Lu Debin grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms...

When he woke up the next day, Lu Debin was so ashamed that he blushed and apologized to Xiaohong.Xiaohong whispered shyly: "I don't blame you, I am willing. As long as it makes you happy, I am willing to do anything!" Lu Debin was deeply moved by Xiaohong's generosity. His wife hurt him too much, but his lover was gentle and considerate. In the end, Lu Debin chose to divorce his wife and marry Xiaohong as his wife. After marrying Xiaohong, Lu Debin regained the dignity of a man he had lost for a long time, and what made him even more happy was that the family also appeared in a stable situation.Xiaohong is not only a wife, but also a nanny, taking care of Lu Debin and his parents comfortably, and keeping the house in order.A few years later, Xiaohong gave birth to a fat boy, which made Lu Debin smile even more.

The "rear" is stable, and Lu Debin's career is also thriving.From an associate professor, professor, doctoral supervisor, to the dean of the agricultural college and the vice president of the university, as a member of the democratic party, Lu Debin embarked on a career. In September 2003, Lu Debin was directly elected as the deputy governor of Henan Province by a deputy department-level cadre, and he was also a doctoral student. With the improvement of social status, Lu Debin's requirements for people and things gradually increased, and there was also friction with his wife Xiaohong. Xiaohong's low personal quality often embarrasses Lu Debin.

After Lu Debin became the vice-governor, more guests and friends came to visit at home. Whenever the guests came, Xiaohong, as the hostess, would always sit by the side, always curious and unaware of avoidance.Lu Debin persuaded her, but Xiaohong said plausibly: "I am your wife, what does it matter!" Sometimes, guests bring some gifts, and before the guests leave, Xiaohong can't wait to open them.Another time, when Lu Debin's student came to visit at home, Xiaohong was taking the child with her at that time. Not only did she ignore the guest, but she breastfeed the child frankly in front of everyone, which made the guest feel embarrassed and said that she would come to visit another day , bid farewell one after another.Lu Debin sent the student out of the door in embarrassment, and turned around and got angry at Xiaohong.

What makes Lu Debin even more unbearable is that Xiaohong not only pays no attention to the influence at home, but even brings this bad influence outside. One day in March 2003, Xiaohong's mother felt unwell and wanted her daughter to take her to a specialist for a checkup.In those few days, a major meeting was being held in the province. After Lu Debin arrived at the meeting place, he turned off his mobile phone according to the regulations.When she couldn't get in touch with Lu Debin, Xiaohong was very angry, so she called Lu Debin's secretary and asked him to send a car, and to contact the hospital and the most authoritative experts to check her mother.The secretary was a little late for sorting out the materials, but was reprimanded by Xiaohong.

After Lu Debin knew this situation, he was extremely annoyed, and when he got home, he was furious. The two refused to give in to each other, and a fierce quarrel occurred.Afterwards, Lu Debin became more and more disgusted with Xiaohong. He often lived in the office and seldom went home. Even when he went back, he only visited his parents and son, and stopped living with Xiaohong at night. However, Lu Debin is also a healthy man with passion and desire. After a long time, he naturally had some unreasonable thoughts. In May 2003, Lu Debin went to a certain city to inspect the wheat harvest. A local official saw the clue from his expression and advised him to change his mood and relax.In the evening, in the private room of the hotel, Lu Debin was aroused by two young women and became dizzy. After coming out of the private room, a girl sent Lu Debin to the hotel room, and he did not come out that night. . In a short period of time, many local officials knew about Lu Debin's "hobby".Every time Lu Debin is invited to dinner, there are always two beauties beside him.The change of status and environment brought about a change in Lu Debin's mentality. He is no longer the low-key scholar who studied diligently, but has become the "godfather" of the officialdom who likes to hug each other.Especially after suffering two failed relationships, he began to lust for women and give up on himself. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and Xiaohong soon discovered Lu Debin's affair. One day in July 2003, while Lu Debin was taking a shower, he received a message on his mobile phone in the living room.Xiaohong opened it, her face suddenly changed.It was a very ambiguous message - I will always remember yesterday's passion, and I will always cherish our love, and the signature turned out to be "Sister who loves you forever". Faced with his wife's questioning, Lu Debin looked a little uncomfortable. He told Xiaohong that this was a joke made by his students, and he must not take it seriously.Although this answer is unconvincing, but because there is no real evidence, Xiaohong can only let it go. If the text message was a misunderstanding, it is absolutely impossible to explain what happened later with a "misunderstanding". Just after the Spring Festival in 2004, Xiaohong received an anonymous phone call from a man.The man said that Lu Debin used his power to seduce the women in his unit into bed.The man asked Xiaohong to tell Lu Debin to restrain himself and pay attention to his image and influence.In the evening, Xiaohong asked Lu Debin if he knew a certain woman, but Lu Debin was stunned.Although he didn't answer directly, Xiaohong understood everything from his faltering excuses. One day in mid-August 2004, Lu Debin told Xiaohong that the province was going to hold an on-site meeting in a certain city. After the meeting, he had to study a topic with local students, and he would not be able to return until two days later.When Lu Debin mentioned a certain city, Xiaohong's heart skipped a beat.The woman mentioned in the anonymous phone call is from a certain city.As soon as Lu Debin left, Xiaohong arrived in a certain city and opened a room opposite Lu Debin's hotel room. That night, Lu Debin and the woman were caught in bed by Xiaohong.Since then, Xiaohong has reported Lu Debin's misdeeds to relevant leaders many times, which made Lu Debin lose face.The original love for Xiaohong turned into hatred in Lu Debin's heart, and the relationship between the husband and wife has completely broken down. Lu Debin always lives in hotels with the excuse of being busy with work.One day, Xiaohong came to the door and asked Lu Debin to go home. After being rejected, she denounced Lu Debin's romantic affairs in public and threatened to divorce Lu Debin.Lu Debin was afraid that the divorce would affect his political career, so he tried to persuade him, but it didn't work at all.Hearing his wife's taunts and seeing other people's strange eyes, Lu Debin trembled with anger. At this time, Lu Debin's former student Shang Yuhe appeared.This person used to serve as the director and deputy director of the Department of Agriculture of Henan Province. Under Lu Debin's promotion and coordination, Shang Yuhe was able to be transferred to Xinxiang City as the deputy mayor. The relationship between the two is extraordinary. Seeing that Lu Debin was being tortured by the woman, Shang Yuhe decided to act as a "peacemaker".He found Xiaohong, and repeatedly emphasized that Lu Debin had no style problems at all. In order to increase his persuasiveness, he also asked the deputy director of the Xinxiang City Public Security Bureau to testify that he fabricated various lies to deceive Xiaohong.But Xiaohong didn't believe it at all.Seeing Lu Debin being bullied by a "little woman" who doesn't like her, Shang Yuhe can only persuade Lu Debin to divorce. After careful consideration, Lu Debin agreed to the divorce.But when he showed his attitude at home and agreed to pay Xiaohong a lot of compensation, Xiaohong changed his mind.She told Lu Debin that she would not divorce him, and if Lu wanted to leave, she would report him for taking bribes. Xiaohong's words startled Lu Debin. He knew that Xiaohong was a woman who could do anything. If she really pushed her into a hurry, she would attack his weakness.Since then, Lu Debin never dared to mention the word divorce again.But the relationship between the two did not improve, and Lu Debin still lived in the hotel. One day, Xiaohong came to the hotel again to make a noise, demanding that Lu Debin must go home with her today, but after being rejected, the hotel turned upside down again.At this time, Shang Yuhe couldn't stand it any longer, he said to Lu Debin: "This kind of woman is not enough to succeed, but more than to fail. Not to mention bringing you good luck, she is simply your 'broom star'. Just kill her!" At that time, Lu Debin didn't take this sentence to heart, but moved back home. At the beginning of 2005, Xiaohong obtained her driver's license and asked Lu Debin to buy a car. When Lu refused, Xiaohong scolded Lu Debin for being heartless and ungrateful, and forgot the meticulous care she had given him.Lu Debin was not to be outdone, and the friction between the two gradually escalated to the point where swords were on the verge of breaking out. Due to frequent wars at home, Lu Debin's work has been greatly affected. The leader talked to him many times, but he still couldn't cheer up.Lu Debin, who was criticized, hated Xiaohong even more. In early June 2005, Xiaohong told Lu Debin that she had made a list of his bribery accounts.Frustrated, Lu Debin panicked, and finally thought of the advice Shang Yuhe had given him, so he called Shang Yuhe and asked him to get rid of his "broom star". After receiving the call, Shang Yuhe found Lu Debin and discussed a plan.Then, he told Lu Debin to make a false appearance these days, so as not to be suspected.Later, he found a fellow villager who was the deputy director of the Xinxiang City Public Security Bureau and asked him to help hire a killer.Under Shang Yuhe's repeated urging, the deputy director had no choice but to agree to find two unemployed vagrants Wang and Zhang who had just been released from prison from their hometown Tanghe County. Just when Shang Yuhe informed that everything was ready, Lu Debin hesitated, especially when he saw his son, he really couldn't bear to let his son have no mother since he was a child.He decided to try again to see if Xiaohong changed her mind.When he asked Xiaohong for the list of accounts, Xiaohong told him: "You should give up. Unless you kill me, you will never leave the list. Let me tell you, even if I die, I will pull you off the horse." !" These unfeeling words completely made Lu Debin give up.He told Shang Yuhe to proceed according to the predetermined plan.No matter what method is used, Xiaohong must be solved as soon as possible. On the morning of June 9, Wang and Zhang, who received the reward, came to Lu Debin's house and tricked her into getting into the car under the pretext of taking Xiaohong to buy a car.When the car drove to the intersection of Huayuan Road and Beihuan Road, the two of them used the rope they carried with them to tightly strangle Xiaohong's neck until she stopped breathing.Afterwards, the two made Xiaohong look like she was sleeping, and drove straight to Mazhenfu Township, Tanghe County, Nanyang City, more than 300 kilometers away from Zhengzhou.In a remote place, they chopped Xiaohong's body into 10 pieces, wrapped them in cloth, and discarded them in a small reservoir nearby, pretending to be the scene of kidnapping and tearing up tickets. When Lu Debin learned that everything was done, he slumped on the sofa.Half an hour later, he called the police, saying that Xiaohong had been kidnapped.The case was highly valued by the Public Security Department of Henan Province, and the police were dispatched quickly. Within 24 hours, Zhang and Wang were arrested in Tanghe County and Nanyang City.After a surprise review, the truth of the matter was quickly found out, and the mastermind behind the scenes, Lu Debin, and other participants were uncovered. (Text/Yanyun) Lu Debin was one of the first batch of Chinese students to study in the United States after the "Cultural Revolution", a doctoral supervisor, and a "new star in the political arena of returnees". From dereliction of duty to embezzlement and bribery, taking care of mistresses, until officials participate in the commission of violent crimes, the code of conduct for officials has actually "struck on the rocks" at the bottom line of morality. After being amazed at why such a senior official "hired a murderer to kill his wife", we questioned even more - why did such a leading cadre become a deputy governor?Why does the recommendation assessment of officials face "collective deafness"?
