Major Case Tracking 吴元浩 8756Words 2018-03-14
At 8:30 am on December 22, 2003, a collegial panel composed of judges from the Supreme People's Court opened in Jinzhou Intermediate People's Court. This was the first time that the Supreme People's Court retried an ordinary criminal case since the founding of the People's Republic of China. On this day, the judges and bailiffs of the Jinzhou Intermediate People's Court who participated in the trial of Liu Yong's case were all given a day off, and replaced by all members of the "Royal Forest Army" - the staff of the Supreme People's Court.The presiding judge is Nan Ying, the chief judge of the First Criminal Tribunal of the Supreme People's Court who has tried the Hu Changqing case and the Cheng Kejie case. Du Weifu, the judge of the first division, and Ma Shengping, the judge of the trial and supervision division, have handled major cases that have caused a sensation throughout the country.Accompanied by Liu Yong's defense lawyer, defendant Liu Yong's wife and brother entered the courtroom.The atmosphere inside and outside the courtroom was extremely tense.

From around 9:30, a large number of Jinzhou citizens, some "little brothers" who admired Liu Yong, and reporters who came early from all over the country gathered in front of the Municipal Intermediate People's Court.Everyone whispered in twos and threes.After the court of second instance commuted Liu Yong's death sentence to death sentence with a reprieve on the grounds that extorting a confession by torture could not be ruled out, everyone knew that as long as Liu Yong survived, he might make a comeback at any time. At 10:04, Liu Yong's wife was visibly anxious in court, and Liu Yong's brother was also extremely irritable, secretly communicating with the outside world via mobile phone from time to time.Although an ominous premonition had tortured their highly tense nerves to the point of misery, they still hoped for a "miracle" and hoped to "snatch" Liu Yong out of the gate of hell again.

However, this time the miracle of "money can turn ghosts around" failed to happen to the "Godfather" again, and he had to end his career as the "Godfather" of the black empire who called the wind and rain and covered the sky with one hand ahead of schedule.The court finally unanimously determined that the retrial defendant Liu Yong had committed the crime of organizing and leading a triad-like organization, the crime of intentional injury, the crime of robbery, the crime of extortion, the crime of possession of guns and ammunition, the crime of obstructing public affairs, the crime of illegal business operations, the crime of tax evasion, and the crime of bribery.The defendant Liu Yong was convicted of intentional injury and sentenced to death and deprived of political rights for life.For the above punishments, it was decided to execute the death penalty, deprived of political rights for life, and fined RMB 15 million.

After the verdict was pronounced, the Intermediate People's Court of Tieling City, Liaoning Province was responsible for executing Liu Yong.When Liu Yong saw his wife and brother again in a room in the courthouse, the "godfather" of the gangster who once made people rage in Shenyang said goodbye to his wife and brother very rationally. His wife lay on top of Liu Yong and wept.Liu Yong silently smoked two cigarettes, took a sip of white wine, and asked his elder brother to put a piece of road money on the shackles for him. On the way to the funeral home, more than a dozen luxury cars with license plates from Shenyang, Dalian, Beijing, and Huludao were parked by the side of the road, all of which were decorated with eye-catching white flowers.No one knew who the owners of these cars were. Liu Yong's relatives and friends who had been paying close attention to the case drove at least six Mercedes-Benz.On the road leading to the funeral parlor in Jinzhou, the guards along the road were heavily guarded, with an armed policeman standing guard every 50 meters.Except for Liu Yong's wife who was allowed to follow the convoy to the funeral home, other family members were not allowed to follow the convoy.

At 11:14, with wailing sirens and flashing police lights, dozens of police cars rushed to escort Liu Yong to the funeral home in Jinzhou City. At 11:34, Liu Yong was carried from a white van to another Execution vehicle.This is a death penalty execution vehicle costing more than 400,000 yuan. The equipment in the vehicle is very advanced, and the live execution scene can be transmitted synchronously on the large screen in a lounge of the funeral parlor through cables. The Supreme People's Court and the Higher People's Court of Liaoning Province And some leaders of the Jinzhou Intermediate People's Court are here to supervise the whole process of execution.When the executive staff accurately injected a lethal dose into Liu Yong's body, Liu Yong cooperated very well and appeared very calm, without saying a word, while Liu Yong's wife burst into tears.After a short while, the "Godfather" of the gangster who used to be invincible in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, China slowly closed his eyes...

Liu Yong, who lives in No. 2, 11th Floor, Block D, Lijing City Garden, Heping District, Shenyang City, was born on November 30, 1960 (actually 1958), Han nationality, junior high school education.Liu Yong won the 100-meter and 200-meter backstroke championships for children in Liaoning Province when he was a child.Liu Yong, who served in a certain army in Tianjin, was also a qualified PLA soldier.After being demobilized, he was transferred to Shenyang Textile Company as an ordinary driver, and later transferred to a plan dispatcher. In 1982, in the earliest era of reform and opening up, Liu Yong voluntarily gave up his public office and started to do business.He has successively opened restaurants, resold fashions, opened woolen sweater processing factories, contracted shopping malls to sell home appliances, and established a joint venture with Hong Kong businessmen to establish a leather factory, etc., but he has never formed a good climate.

An accidental event completely changed Liu Yong's life path. In July 1992, Sun Shupeng, who was well-known in Shenyang at the time, quarreled with Liu Yong at Liu Yong's home over trivial matters.At that time, Wu Jingming, a young brother of Liu Yong who had just been released from prison, took out a homemade musket and shot Sun Shupeng.Afterwards, Sun Shupeng did not report the case because he abided by the "rules of the game" on the road. Liu Yong came forward and paid Sun Shupeng a sum of medical expenses to settle the matter.It was from then on that the "heroes" on Shenyang Road began to look at Liu Yong with admiration.

On October 6, 1992, Liu Yong, who was already well-known in the "underworld" in Shenyang at that time, in order to vent his anger on another "underworld" brother he "covered" by himself, led several fierce men to attack with military stabbing, five A series of shotguns chased Zhang Shaobo in a restaurant. Zhang Shaobo, who was in a panic, asked for help from Liu Baogui, the deputy director of a police station of the Shenyang Heping District Public Security Bureau who was eating at the restaurant. Liu Baogui fired a warning shot and ordered the chasing people to put down Arms stand with head in hands.Seeing that there was only one police officer, Liu Yong and his gang didn't take Liu Baogui seriously. Liu Yong, who had been rushing to the front, raised his hand and shot Liu Baogui down. The "black gun" hit Liu Baogui's right hip.When Liu Yong calmed down, he became afraid. He knew that this time he had made a big mistake, so he led his men to flee to other places in a hurry to avoid the police's pursuit.Liu Yong's parents doted on this unworthy son very much. In order to save their son from being imprisoned, they did not hesitate to show their old faces and went to the hospital to apologize to Liu Baogui face to face. Substantial financial compensation.Before leaving, Liu Yong's father insisted on giving Liu Baogui 10,000 yuan of "consolation money" to show his sincerity, and Liu Baogui then handed over the money to the organization in full.Liu Yong's father not only has a wide network of contacts in the Shenyang Public Security Bureau, but is also a respectable person.Before retiring, he served as a member of the Judicial Committee of the Shenyang Intermediate People's Court for a long time, and the chief judge of the First Criminal Tribunal. Profoundly affect the judges of the case.

Not long after, many "heavyweights" in Shenyang's public security system came forward to intercede for Liu Yong, and offered Liu Baogui 1 million privately, but Liu Baogui flatly rejected it.Chang Xuwu, director of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau at the time, and Han Guangsheng, deputy director of the criminal police, attached great importance to the case of Liu Baogui being shot and injured by Liu Yong, and deployed a large number of police forces to arrest Liu Yong many times.However, because Liu Yong and his gang also had a very strong network in the Shenyang police at that time, the news was very "well-informed", and Liu Yong's anti-investigation ability was strong, several arrests by the public security organs failed due to leaks. worked.It was not until 1994 that the police escorted Liu Yong back to Shenyang after he was arrested in Guangzhou. In 1995, Liu Yong was released on bail by bribing some of the persons involved in the investigation and handling of the case. Until the beginning of 1997, the "Three Chiefs" (the chief of the public security bureau, the chief prosecutor and the president of the court) decided to withdraw the case after deliberation.Liu Yong was released on bail pending trial and released without charge.The incident of Liu Yong shooting and wounding the deputy director of the police station had a great influence in Shenyang at that time, and it also became the capital for Liu Yong to "make a name for himself" in the underworld and ascend to the throne of "Godfather" of the Shenyang underworld.It was from this period that Liu Yong actively recruited black and white troops on the one hand, and equipped the "little brothers" with 9 guns and purchased 26 daggers and machetes.Meng Xianglong (former policeman of the Public Security Detachment of Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau, neighbor of Liu Yong when he was young, has a strong relationship with Liu Yong, flexible mind and rich experience, and plays the role of "military adviser" in Liu Yong's gang), Zhu Chi (former deputy of the Criminal Police Brigade of a certain Shenyang Public Security Bureau) Captain), Fang Ting (former criminal policeman of a branch of Shenyang Public Security Bureau), Liu Jun (Liu Yong's younger brother, former inspector of Shenyang Heping District Public Security Bureau), Wu Jingming (alias Wu Ming, dual-worker, vicious and treacherous, Liu Yong's "four People from different social classes and influences, such as the number one person in King Kong), Song Jianfei (Liu Yong's brother-in-law, two laborers, fierce and brutal. He is the second person in Liu Yong's "Four King Kong" after Wu Jingming) and other people from different classes and forces. , It further consolidated Liu Yong's status as the "godfather" of the Shenyang gang.

At the beginning of 1995, with the "enthusiastic" help of Liu Yong's "godmother"—the former party secretary and deputy director of Shenyang Heping District Labor Bureau Gao Mingxian and the former director Ling Dexiu—Liu Yong "strategicly" contracted the Zhonghua Shopping Center under the bureau . In 1996, Gao Mingxian and Ling Dexiu successively approached relevant district leaders and recommended Liu Yong as a member of the Heping District Political Consultative Conference in the name of the Party Branch of the Labor Bureau. Liu Yong was unexpectedly elected.

In December 1997, Gao Mingxian and Ling Dexiu deliberately concealed the important fact that Liu Yong was detained by the public security organs for shooting Liu Baogui, and formally recommended Liu Yong to the Standing Committee of the Shenyang Municipal People's Congress as a candidate for the National People's Congress. Liu Yong's recommendation form was Comment on him this way: "Liu Yong developed a shopping mall into an enterprise group, employed more than 300 people, and made a great contribution to the economic revitalization of Heping District. He is advanced in thinking, decent in style, and has the qualifications of a people's representative." In Gaoming Under the active "blending" behind the scenes of Xian and Ling Dexiu, together with Jiao Meigui, the former vice chairman of the Shenyang CPPCC, the former vice president of the Shenyang Intermediate People's Court, and the vice chairman of the Liaoning Provincial Committee of the China Zhigong Party, Liu Yong was As the main basis for Liu's election to the National People's Congress, the chairman of the Shenyang branch directly under the China Zhigong Party was elected as the second Shenyang National People's Congress with 197 votes in favor of the Shenyang Heping District People's Congress where 235 representatives participated in the election. Municipal People's Congress.In order to thank Gao Mingxian and Ling Dexiu for their "hard work", Liu Yong gave Gao Mingxian and Ling Dexiu RMB 80,000 in total in several times in the name of New Year's greetings. In the first half of 1997, Liu Yong sent RMB 20 to Liu Shi, who was then the president of the Shenyang Intermediate People's Court and later served as the chief prosecutor of the Shenyang People's Procuratorate, to his newly recognized "godfather". ten thousand yuan.With Liu Shi, the "godfather" of the real power faction who is very popular in Shenyang, people from all walks of life are even more afraid of Liu Yong.In November of the same year, as a staff member of the Shenyang Intermediate People's Court, Liu Shi went through the relevant procedures for Liu Yong to go to the United States, and asked Liu Yong to accompany him to the United States for "investigation".During his stay in the United States, Liu Yong gave Liu Shi another 30,000 US dollars in the name of "pocket money". In 1998, Jiang Xinben, then director of the Labor Bureau of Heping District, Shenyang City, during the restructuring process of the subordinate enterprise Baijia Self-selection Shopping Mall from a collective enterprise to a private enterprise, used the method of "zero buyout" to let Liu Yong, who contracted the shopping mall, "breakthrough" "Acquired the corporate property rights of the shopping mall.After the mall was restructured, although the right to use the real estate in the mall was still owned by the Labor Bureau, Liu Yong never paid a penny for the use of the real estate.Both black and white in Shenyang know that Liu Yong has always been a person who "repays all kindness".Sure enough, in May 1999, Liu Yong visited Jiang Xinben's office in person and gave Jiang Xinben RMB 100,000 in one lump sum as a thank you. In August 1998, Liu Yong invited Wang Xiaofang, a well-known comedian and the secretary of Ma Xiangdong, then member of the Standing Committee of the Shenyang Municipal Party Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor, to dinner. After the meal, Liu Yong transferred $20,000 to Ma Xiangdong through Wang Xiaofang; Ma Xiangdong's office "blended" him; in April of the same year, Liu Yong believed that the "temperature" was not enough, so he directly "blended" Ma Xiangdong again.Ma Xiangdong's work style has always been "vigorous and resolute". On April 20, 1999, a "State-owned Land Document of the People's Government of Shenyang City" will be located in a commercial land of 24,009 square meters of state-owned land in the second section of Zhongyang Road, Shenhe District, Shenyang City, with a market assessment value of 350 million yuan. Freely allocated to Jiayang Group Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. for use.In December of the same year, with the approval of Ma Xiangdong, Jiayang Group Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., of which Liu Yong was the chairman, was exempted from paying tens of millions of yuan in taxes such as "four fees and one tax" and state-owned land transfer fees.Liu Yong's gang has since entered the field of "black money politics". In May 1999, Liu Yong went to Ma to send 20,000 US dollars to his employer.Later, when Ma Xiangdong went to Macau to gamble, he took Liu Yong's subordinates with him as bodyguards. After Liu Yong had the backing of Ma Xiangdong, the black and white people in Shenyang had to look at Liu Yong with admiration. In the first half of 1999, the Liaoning Branch of the Agricultural Bank of China planned to purchase some real estate in Jiayang Building to expand its business outlets.Liu Yong immediately came forward and invited Yang Liwei, the deputy general manager of the sales department of the Provincial Agricultural Bank of China who was in charge of this work at the time, to Hong Kong for inspection, and gave Yang Liwei 50,000 Hong Kong dollars in the name of "pocket money".Later, Yang Liwei suggested that the Provincial Agricultural Bank "unprecedentedly" use 20 million yuan of construction in progress to advance the purchase price of the house, which made the strength of Liu Yong's gang develop by leaps and bounds again. In January 2000, Liu Yong gave Yang Liwei another US$5,000 in Shenyang Yule City. After the Spring Festival in 1999, the Shenyang Municipal Government handed over 20,000 square meters of Middle Street to Liu Yong's company for development.The three-story building at No. 128 Zhongjie belongs to private real estate. The owner, Mu Guangzhi, had previously signed an agreement with the Shenyang Land Bureau to use the land for 40 years. Since it was still in the use period, Mu Guangzhi agreed to move, but asked Liu Yong Leave a facade in the building so that you can open a shop. "How many heads has he grown? Give him money, according to the standards for shantytown renovation!" Liu Yong was very annoyed when he heard this.Mu Guangzhi immediately sued the Shenyang Municipal Land Bureau for unilaterally tearing up the agreement. Another important person of Liu Yong, the former vice chairman of the Shenyang CPPCC and the former vice president of the Intermediate People's Court, Jiao Meigui (on October 10, 2001, Jiao Meigui was Dandong Intermediate People's Court sentenced him to 13 years and 6 months in prison for accepting bribes and embezzlement. Knowing that Mu Guangzhi's lawsuit met the conditions for filing a case with the Intermediate People's Court of the city, he had no reason not to file the case. File a case.Mu Guangzhi had no choice but to sue the case to the Higher People's Court of Liaoning Province. The Higher People's Court of Liaoning Province ordered the Shenyang Intermediate People's Court to file the case and make a first-instance trial in the form of a letter. The jurisdiction of the court was changed to that of the People's Court of Heping District.A majestic vice-president of the Intermediate People's Court ignored the laws and regulations of the country and followed the unreasonable demands of the "Godfather" of the underworld to the letter. This made Liu Yong's gang even more unscrupulous to a large extent.Liu Yong successively gave Jiao Meigui properties worth about 240,000 yuan. After Liu Yong obtained the right to use more than 20,000 square meters of state-owned land in the second section of Zhongyang Road, he immediately asked his brutal "Four Diamonds" Wu Jingming, Song Jianfei, Dong Tieyan, and Li Zhiguo to form a "demolition office."This "martial arts team" accelerated the speed of demolition with the "smashing and demolition" model. In April 1999, Liu Yong instructed Song Jianfei and Wu Jingming to forcibly demolish the buildings within the scope of the land by "smashing and demolishing" violence as soon as possible.On the morning of May 14 of the same year, when Song Jianfei and others demolished the Zhongjie Pharmacy run by Liu Fengjiang, they clashed with the staff of the pharmacy.Under the instigation of Liu Yong and others, Song Jianfei and others rushed into the pharmacy and fought violently. "Liaoshen Evening News" reported on this under the headline "The Big Pharmacy in Zhongjie Encountered Gangsters During the Day". Liu Yong was afraid that the incident would make a big splash and affect the social image of Jiayang Group, so he sent people to intimidate Liu Fengjiang many times.Fearing Liu Yong's revenge, Liu Fengjiang was forced to publish a statement in the "Liaoshen Evening News" that had nothing to do with the Jiayang Group. The "demolition" had an immediate effect, and the Jiayang Group built the Jiayang Building in a very short period of time.The successful completion of the Jiayang Building marked that Liu Yong's power in Shenyang had reached its peak. In 1999, the "Jiayang" Group, where Liu Yong served as the chairman, already had 26 subsidiaries, more than 3,000 employees, and assets of 700 million yuan.Liu Yong is also a representative of the Shenyang Municipal People's Congress, the chairman of the Shenyang Branch of the China Zhi Gong Party and the deputy director of the International Liaison Department, a member of the Heping District CPPCC, the executive vice president of the Shenyang Private Entrepreneurs Association, the vice president of the Nanzhan District Chamber of Commerce, and the Heping District CPPCC member. Deputy Director of the District Taiyuan Street Management Office, Heping District Labor Model, Outstanding Entrepreneur, Advanced Individual for Poverty Alleviation... After more than half a year of meticulous and meticulous investigation and visits, the Shenyang Public Security Bureau has fully grasped a large number of iron evidence of Liu Yong's gang crimes.The Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau defined Liu Yong's criminal gang as: collecting money violently and using unscrupulous means; committing crimes and dominating one party; hooliganism and killing innocent people indiscriminately; violent resistance to the law, tax evasion; ruthless and brutal revenge.After a collective study and decision by the leaders of the Liaoning Provincial Public Security Department and the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau, it was planned to carry out a unified arrest operation against members of Liu Yong's criminal gang at 8:00 p.m. on July 1, 2000. On July 1, 2000, Liu Yong was still talking nonsense on the rostrum of a conference on Taiyuan Street in the morning.In the evening, in order to confuse the public security agency's scouting sight, he pretended to invite a famous Hong Kong male movie star "Liu ××" to a disco in Shenyang for a cool walk. After Liu Yong came out of this disco, he felt weird and mysterious The world evaporated.Liu Yong's anti-reconnaissance sense is particularly keen. It turned out that he found that Wu Jingming's mobile phone was turned off, and he could not be contacted by other methods. From these extremely abnormal clues, Liu Yong had a premonition that Wu Jingming might have "big trouble."Liu Yong decisively called Cheng Jian and others to leave immediately, and he was also planning to flee abroad to observe the movement first. On July 3, 2000, the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau wanted Liu Yong, chairman of Jiayang Group, and five suspects including Zhang Jianqi, Zhang Fan, Cheng Jian, and Gao Wei through the news media, and offered a reward of 50,000 yuan to those who provided Liu Yong with clues gold. On July 10, 2000, an important clue was brought to the Shenyang Police Liu Yong Task Force.It turned out that Xu Jingyan, the powerful horse boy who had been fleeing with Liu Yong, had frequent cell phone signals in the direction of Heihe.The special case team analyzed and judged: Liu Yong and others are very likely to prepare to flee the country from outside Heihe.The Shenyang police immediately issued an investigation report to the Heihe police. At around 2:00 p.m. on July 11, two men and two women came to the Heihe Customs border inspection station to clear the customs. One of the men's physical features was obviously similar to Liu Yong. The customs and border inspection officers were very nervous.A customs officer took the ID card and passport presented by the person for inspection and comparison, and the microcomputer that entered the relevant information immediately sounded harsh alarms. This person is Liu Yong, who is wanted by the police.Seeing the alarm sound, Liu Yong and Gao Wei slipped away quickly, and they ran outside the customs hall to hit a red Xiali car and fled desperately. Twenty minutes later, the Xiali car arrived at the Xigangzi checkpoint in Heihe. Liu Yong looked up and saw that the heavily armed public security officers and armed police soldiers had completely surrounded the border checkpoint. It seemed that the possibility of escape was gone. I just prepared four bottles of Valium tablets, swallowed 200 Valium tablets in a flash, and thought about it once and for all.The public security officers and armed police immediately rushed to arrest him. Due to the excessive dose and strong nature of the drug, Liu Yong had already passed out.Heihe police immediately sent Liu Yong to the nearest hospital for emergency rescue. After several hours of rescue, Liu Yong finally saved his life. When the news of the arrest of Liu Yong, Gao Wei, Liu Yong's wife Liu Xiaojun and others came, all the officers and policemen of Shenyang Liu Yong's task force cheered and jumped with excitement. They rushed to Heihe City overnight to escort Liu Yong and others.The Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau specially offered 200,000 yuan to reward all police officers in Heihe City who participated in the arrest of Liu Yong. However, on July 14, when Liu Yong was escorted back to Shenyang from Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province, Mu Suixin, then the mayor of Shenyang City, immediately made a very intriguing phone call to Yang Jialin, director of the Shenyang Public Security Bureau: "Liu Yong Can the case stand up? There are rumors in the society that you tortured Liu Yong to extract a confession, gave him drugs, and made him sit on a tiger stool." On the second day when the Shenyang police began to arrest Liu Yong, Liu Yong's "godfather"—— Liu Shi, the former chief prosecutor of the Shenyang City Procuratorate, called Yang Jialin and asked Yang to meet and have a chat. His intention of "exploring the wind" was very clear.After being rejected by Yang Jialin, Liu began to use his power to manipulate the public security to interfere with the police's handling of Liu Yong's case. Considering that Liu Yong and his behind-the-scenes background have an intricate relationship with the Shenyang Public Prosecution and Judiciary System, the task force reported to the relevant leaders for research and decision to implement isolated and confidential detention of Liu Yong in a different place. Let Liu Yong completely give up his spiritual sustenance to the relationship network. From August 8, 2001 to August 21, 2003, Liu Yong was detained in the Tieling City Detention Center in Liaoning Province for 743 days, which lasted for about two years.During Liu Yong's detention, in order to ensure Liu Yong's active cooperation with the interrogation work, Wang Lijun, then director of the Tieling City Public Security Bureau, asked to select high-quality and experienced police officers to supervise Liu Yong.After the second trial, Liu Yong wrote a thank-you letter titled "Personal experience of being detained in Tieling Detention Center for two years under the guidance of the spirit of "Three Represents" in the New Century and New Fashion". This is Liu Yong's heartfelt thanks to Tieling The Detention Center of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is responsible for supervising his policemen's humane management education for him.A gangster "godfather" with a junior high school education level wrote a thank-you letter with a length of more than 3,000 words. Liu Yong wrote in the letter: "Recalling the past, it was such a glory, such a scenery, calling the wind and rain, But now I have gone from heaven to hell. At this time, I thought of many ways to get rid of it as soon as possible. Under this situation, the two guards under the leadership of the detachment did not give up on me, but continued to care about me in the scope of work and life... … During this year’s high temperature period, my condition worsened. Team Sun personally consulted a doctor to study the treatment plan, and formulated it starting from food. He also invited a professor to treat my illness and prescribed traditional Chinese medicine for me. In order to better exert the efficacy of the medicine, discipline The cadres let me take the hot water in the morning and evening.” Liu Yong also wrote: “Sometimes I ask myself, I am a criminal, why didn’t the Tieling Detention Center beat me to death or allow such a dangerous criminal like me to die of illness? ...I feel human rights from the seriousness, and realize that as a criminal, he can learn good ideas and good styles while behind bars." On August 15, 2003, the court of second instance commuted Liu Yong's death sentence to a suspended death sentence on the grounds that extorting a confession by torture could not be ruled out. Liu Yong was transferred from the Tieling City Detention Center to Jinzhou Prison to serve his sentence. After the Supreme People's Court made a retrial decision, Liu Yong had to be transferred from Jinzhou Prison to Jinzhou Detention Center again.Facing more than 40 anti-riot policemen, criminal policemen, and correctional officials from the Jinzhou City Public Security Bureau who came to detain him, Liu Yong smiled wryly and sighed: "All previous efforts are in vain, everything is over!" In order to prevent Liu Yong from resisting the retrial of the Supreme People's Court, with special approval, Liu Yong enjoys the same standard meals as the correctional officers every day.Liu Yong's family saved some money for Liu Yong's daily necessities in the detention center. A deputy director of the detention center was responsible for each purchase, and the receipts had to be signed by Liu Yong before they could be written off.Liu Yong was also specially approved to smoke in the cell. He smoked "Huangshan" soft packs, and the limit was not more than 8 per day.Due to Liu Yong's particularity, the supervisors specially bought a large plastic bathtub, and after boiling the water, let Liu Yong take a bath in his cell, and specially installed a closed-circuit monitoring system.No one in the detention center called Liu Yong's real name, and "1011" was Liu Yong's special code in the detention center. Liu Yong's sentence was commuted to death by the court of second instance, and after a two-year reprieve, Liu Yong's expression could no longer be adequately described as "happy in the spring breeze" to describe his excitement at that time.When the Supreme People’s Court notified on October 8, 2003 that he would be retried in Jinzhou Prison, Liu Yong had a premonition that he might be taken out and shot at any time, and he was restless every day in the detention center like a trapped animal in a zoo. , Walking back and forth in the cell repeatedly.After the judge of the Supreme People's Court interrogated him, Liu Yong became more and more depressed and anxious all day long. He tossed and turned every day, moaned and sighed, often thought for a long time without sleeping, his appetite decreased significantly, his smoking increased every day, and he even got angry and developed mouth sores. . In the last 60 days or so of Liu Yong's detention, the four leaders at the second detention center basically took their place as their home, guarding the detention center nervously day and night.Liu Yong proposed to read "Mao Zedong's Life and Family History", "Charles de Gaulle", "Zeng Guofan" and other books and magazines, and the discipline cadres implemented them one by one. On December 18, 2003, Liu Yong returned to his cell from the retrial court, feeling extremely depressed.He refused to eat anything, and only drank a few sips of soy milk after repeated persuasion from the guards.The careful discipline officials found that Liu Yong's ankles were worn out by the shackles, and they were about to put a Band-Aid on him. He angrily refused, and said angrily, "It's no longer necessary, isn't it just three days?" Liu Yong said to the discipline personnel. , he saw his wife and brother in court, and felt that his wife had lost a lot of weight, and he was very distressed and uncomfortable. When he said this, he even shed tears.Liu Yong also said that the family business he earned for his family is enough for his wife and children to spend their lives, so he feels at ease.In the end, Liu Yong wanted to dye his gray hair black. The police officers did not agree to Liu Yong's request from a safety point of view, considering that the hair dye contained germanium and other toxic ingredients. Because Liu Yong prefers to eat things with stuffing, for lunch on December 21, the guards specially bought big buns filled with pork and cabbage for Liu Yong, and Liu Yong finally managed to eat a few buns.In order to stabilize Liu Yong's mood, Liu Yong was also specially approved to watch DVDs in the cell. The DVD player was bought by Liu Yong himself, and the content of the DVDs was chosen by Liu Yong himself.Liu Yong is very fond of watching imported war-themed movies, ancient costume martial arts movies shot in Hong Kong, and some TV series about police and robbers.Liu Yong was allowed to listen to music in the cell.For two consecutive nights, Liu Yong asked the guards to play the VCD of "Vietnam War - Fortress in the Sky" for him, and he fell asleep after watching it. At 8:30 am on December 22, 2003, Liu Yong was sentenced to death by the retrial court and executed immediately. (Text/Sun Chengcheng of Tang Dynasty) The Liu Yong case had a huge social impact that year.This case was a criminal case brought up by the Supreme People's Court, but its significance lies not only in the trial itself.From the suspended death sentence by the second-instance court to the immediate execution of the death sentence by the Supreme Court, the judicial significance reflected in the changes in the results is thought-provoking.The final judgment embodies and maintains the authority of the judiciary and respect for public opinion, and at the same time truly complies with the ancient saying that "doing many injustices will lead to self-death".
