Chapter 33 A bizarre death certificate

When the puzzled Zeng Chuanyao and his lawyer hurried to the Yangshi Notary Office to inquire, who would have thought that upon hearing that he was Zeng Chuanyao, several staff members who were working were stunned, and one of them kept talking Rubbing his eyes, he pointed at the old man suspiciously and shouted: "What? You are Zeng Chuanyao? You are still alive?!" "My God, didn't Zeng Chuanyao and his wife die long ago?" "What? What are you talking about? Dead?! You are a majestic judiciary, so you have to be responsible for what you say?" Zeng Chuanyao was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time, he patted his chest angrily, and replied loudly: "Who said I was dead? I This is the "resurrection of the dead" to seek justice..." A person in charge of the notary office was extremely embarrassed, but finally showed Zeng a relevant death certificate issued by the Chengdong Police Station in Jiangcheng District, Yangjiang City. Zeng Chuanyao and the lawyer hurriedly Grabbing it and looking at it, the old man almost fell down on the spot with a few lines of words stamped with a big red seal!

I saw the text on it: Zeng Jiqiang, alias Zeng Guoqiang in our jurisdiction, originally lived at No. 2, Lane 2, Chigang 2nd Street, Jiangcheng District. He died of illness in Jiangcheng on August 26, 1993. His father was Zeng Chuanyao, and his wife was Sun Xiuzhu (Editor Press, the original real name), mother is Xu Xiuying, they passed away in 1989 and 1990, hereby certify.Chengdong Police Station, Yangjiang City, October 15, 1996.Behind the neatly written words, there is also a round official seal of "Chengdong Police Station, Jiangcheng District Branch, Yangjiang Public Security Bureau".Those lines of black characters were like a black whip, which made the old man hurt all over; especially the big red seal on the back was like a steel knife, piercing the old man's heart to bleed.

God, what the hell is going on here? Based on this only certificate, the Yangjiang City Notary Office issued a notarial certificate for Sun Xiuzhu on October 16 of the same year without any investigation. Zeng Chuanyao and his lawyer saw the (96) Jiang Zheng Nei Zi No. 211 notarial certificate with the red seal of the Yangjiang City Notary Office, which read: The successor Sun Xiuzhu is the wife of the successor Zeng Guoqiang, and the mother of the successor Zeng Weiyu. The successor Zeng Guoqiang died of illness in Yangjiang City in August 1993. After his death, he left a house at No. 2, Lane 2, Chigang 2 Street, Yangjiang City. The deceased had no will. His father, Zeng Chuanyao, and mother, Xu Xiuying, both died before him.According to Article 10 of the "Inheritance Law of the People's Republic of China", the estate of the decedent Zeng Guoqiang should be jointly inherited by the heirs Sun Xiuzhu and Zeng Weiyu.hereby certify

Yangjiang City Notary Office (seal), notary: Huang Dengke. October 16, 1996 This is really a miracle! This kind of anecdote, which can only be seen in "Arabian Nights" and "Surprise", happened to this unfortunate old man!Two healthy old people are standing in front of people alive, and someone dares to issue a certificate of their long-term death!What is even more unbelievable is that such an authoritative certificate came from the local police station and notary office!If it weren't for the eldest son Zeng Guoqing who followed him to help him quickly, Zeng Chuanyao, a 70-year-old man, would have fainted and collapsed.

Zeng Chuanyao also learned that after obtaining the notarial certificate, a construction company in Yangjiang City applied for the construction of a house for Sun Xiuzhu on October 16, 1996, and issued a Yangjiang City Urban Construction House Ownership (Temporary) Certificate, Certificate No. 0000434; That is, on the same day, Yangjiang City Housing Management Bureau applied for and received the house ownership certificate for Sun, Yue Fang Zheng Zi No. 1918515, and proved that the two (Sun Xiuzhu and her son Zeng Weiyu) inherited the joint property in 1996. In this way, from the death certificate issued by the Chengdong Police Station on October 15, 1996, to the Yangjiang City Notary Office, the City Housing Management Bureau, and a city construction company, Sun quickly completed the relevant real estate transactions in just two days. Inheritance procedures.

After learning the above shocking details, Zeng Chuanyao hurried to the Yuzhou Police Station in Jiangcheng District, Yangjiang City, where his registered permanent residence was located. He approached the leader of the police station to explain the situation, and begged him to prove the life and death of his wife.The leaders of the Yuzhou Police Station were amazed and felt that it was not too late, so they hurriedly sent someone to conduct an in-depth investigation. Faced with the hard facts, they quickly issued a "Zeng Chuanyao was born on September 12, 1928, and his wife Xu Xiuying was born in 1928". On July 2, 2009, the two are still alive".At the same time, Yangjiang Material Recycling Company, the unit that had worked for a long time, also came forward to provide relevant certificates.

Zeng Chuanyao strongly demanded that the Chengdong Police Station, Yangdong City Notary Office and other relevant units immediately correct the wrong certificates, and repeatedly asked the Yangdong Court to unseal the wrongly sealed property. On the same day, that is, June 10, 1998, the Yangjiang City Notary Office finally issued the "Decision on Revoking (96) Jiang Zheng Nei Zi No. 211 Certificate" and stated, "After investigation, the (96) ) Jiang Zheng Nei Zi No. 211 notarization certificate, because the parties provided false evidence and concealed the successor, according to the relevant provisions of the "Interim Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Notarization", it is hereby decided to revoke it. The notarization is invalid from now on."

On June 22, after careful investigation, the Chengdong Police Station quickly issued a new certificate, which stated: "The death certificates of Zeng Chuanyao and Xu Xiuying issued by our office on October 15, 1996 have been verified. The person is still alive, and the original death certificates of Zeng Chuanyao and Xu Xiuying issued are inconsistent with the facts, so I am hereby correcting them. The original certificates are invalid.” Immediately afterwards, the Yangjiang City Housing Management Bureau immediately announced that the real estate certificate they had previously issued for Sun Xiuzhu was invalid.

The persons in charge of the above-mentioned units all made verbal apologies to Zeng Chuanyao and his wife for their "mistakes". However, for the seventy-year-old couple who "resurrected from the dead", can only a verbal apology comfort their spiritual pain? In September 1998, when I went to Yangdong County People's Court to interview Zeng Chuanyao's family property being seized, I did not expect to be obstructed by the other party in every possible way.A staff member of the office first said that the judge in charge of the case was not present; then he said that my press card may not necessarily indicate my identity as a reporter, and asked me to issue a letter of introduction specially issued by the Provincial High Court.After my repeated negotiations, the court finally reluctantly agreed to accept my interview.

Subsequently, the court found a staff member of the economic division of the court who was responsible for handling the matter.The other party said: After receiving a lawsuit from Yangdong Dagou Credit Cooperative against Sun Xiuzhu’s loan of 100,000 yuan overdue, our court seized her real estate according to her application and relevant legal procedures, and then prepared to entrust the city to auction according to relevant procedures. Auction real estate to repay the loan.We all act by the law.Later, Zeng Chuanyao went to the court to negotiate, claiming that he and his wife were also joint heirs of the house, and the court should not seize the property they shared with Sun.We believe that only based on the real estate certificate issued by the Housing Management Bureau can it be clarified who owns the real estate.Later, Zeng sued the matter to the Jiangcheng District Court and reported it to the relevant departments of Yangjiang City.The Chengdong District Court held that Zeng Chuanyao and his wife had the joint inheritance right to the real estate, and they had to check it out before executing it.Later, according to the division of the relevant property, we decided to execute only the part of the property that should belong to the grandson.

I asked: What was the basis for you to seize the property at that time?Just rely on the real estate certificate presented by Sun Xiuzhu?The other party replied confidently: It is almost the same.After I showed the civil judgment published by the Yangdong Court in 1996, I asked again: "In May 1997, Sun Zeng used the land certificate shared with Zeng Chuanyao and his wife and the power of attorney issued by him to pay Huang a mortgage loan. Later, the court ruled that it was invalid. At the same time, Sun Yi repeatedly claimed in court that the mortgaged house was jointly built by her husband and in-laws; after Zeng Guoqiang died, the real estate certificate was not unique to him. This is written in the judgment issued by your court. It is clear, that is to say, when the court executes the relevant matters, it should clearly know that the property rights of the house should be shared by Sun and Zeng Chuanyao. So, why did the court seal it up? Is this the same as the first judgment? Contradictory?" The other party hesitated and said: The previous case was handled by another judge, how did we know?We can only take care of our own cases... At the same time, this person also said that the court can enforce the law as long as Sun Xiuzhu issues a legal real estate certificate, including the authoritative notarization of the notary department.The court handles the case only to authenticate the evidence... The other party also repeatedly explained to the reporter: When we sealed up the property according to law, we did not see Zeng Chuanyao present, only Sun Xiuzhu, and people from the neighborhood committee were also present when the house was closed.At that time, we didn't know that there was a real estate dispute, and we only found out after Zeng Chuanyao went to the court to file a complaint.Considering that Sun concealed the facts and held false certificates, the court decided to suspend the execution in order to protect the legitimate interests of Zeng Chuanyao and his wife; as for how much property and value of Zeng Chuanyao’s house was seized when the property was seized, the other party could not tell for a while. After a while, he said that when the things were moved, there were several people present who signed jointly. At that time, he only seized and handed over the relevant accounts and handed over the keys to the auction house for safekeeping.During the interview, the law enforcement officer explained to reporters several times that because the property was shared by Sun and Zeng Chuanyao, during the seizure period, the court had made it clear that Zeng Chuanyao could use it, but resale was not allowed, but Zeng has been reluctant to live in it. . Zeng Chuanyao told me angrily: At the beginning of November 1998, he once again went to the Yangdong People's Court to claim for the loss caused by the removal of his family property by the court during the seizure of his house.It is strange that a vice president of the hospital did not even know about it.The other party immediately called Li Mou, who was in charge of the case, and asked him face to face whether the matter was true.Li replied that he had driven away some family property such as electric fans and combination cabinets, and said that relevant staff from the neighborhood committee were present to testify and made a list.They finally agreed to return the items in full.Zeng immediately asked again: Except for furniture and home appliances, all 18 aluminum alloy windows in the house were stolen, and there is nothing in the house now. He asked the court to send staff to open the door and enter the house to investigate the scene.The other party reluctantly agreed, but there has been no action since then, and the seized property has not been returned. On November 26, 1998, Zeng came to the Yangdong court again and asked the other party why he had not received a notice of unblocking so far?No one notified you verbally?The staff member in charge of handling the case replied: The notice has already been sent out, but one of your relatives forwarded it to you because I couldn't find you at that time.Until the afternoon of December 26, 1998, Zeng Chuanyao, who had gone through many vicissitudes, finally got the "civil ruling" issued by the court on July 26, 1997 from others. In the Housing Management Bureau of Yangjiang City, a person in charge accepted my interview.He said: Before Sun Xiuzhu's husband died, he did not apply for the property right certificate. After his death, Sun Xiuzhu applied to us to complete the relevant procedures in the names of her and her son, because the house was not hers before and her husband was dead. Sun's son was used as the legal death certificate, but at the same time, it also falsely reported that her parents-in-law were also dead. Since the notary office did not investigate at the time, it issued a notarization for her, and we did not ask much about the documents issued by the judicial department.The other party also explained to me at the same time: According to the relevant regulations, when applying for a house property right certificate, two valid conditions must be met at the same time. You must have a land certificate and a house registration certificate. In addition, you must show your household registration booklet and ID card. Wait for valid certificates, and only after it is clear and correct can it be processed.Sun Jun met the above conditions at the time, but we did not know that she would fabricate the facts. We only issued a temporary property right certificate after confirming that she met the inheritance conditions to prove who owned the property.Finally, the person told reporters that Sun Ling's real estate certificate has been declared invalid.They will definitely learn a lesson in their work in the future and take it as a warning, and they must never make similar mistakes again.The person in charge also pointed out that they mainly handled the process according to the notarization of the Yangjiang City Notary Office, so the responsibility does not lie on them, but the notary office and the police station that issued the "death" certificate should bear the main responsibility. So, how does the Yangjiang City Notary Office explain this matter?The person in charge of the notary office complained aggrievedly when interviewed by the reporter: Speaking of it, we also have to speak out, how can we blame us for this matter?If it is not the certificate from the police station, can we issue such a notarization?We can only blame the police station, because we mainly relied on the certificate issued by the police station, and issued the real estate notarization after verifying that Sun Xiuzhu's other legal documents were correct, so if there is any problem, we can only go to the Chengdong police station to solve it.However, the other party admitted that they did not seriously verify and investigate the relevant materials at that time, which was wrong and negligent in their work.But after they learned the facts, they have revoked the notarization. It is understood that as a judicial department, when notarizing a house, the notary office should follow the standardized procedures. First, it should prove that the death is true with the house ownership certificate, the certificate of the successor’s neighborhood committee, and the police station where the deceased’s original household registration is located. At the same time, the notary office should Go to the field to do serious investigation and understanding, and strive to standardize and complete, and finally can make a notarization. Article 19 of the "Provisional Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Notarization" clearly stipulates: "When the notary office considers that the certificate provided by the party is not available or has doubts, it has the right to notify the party to make necessary supplements or to investigate with the relevant units and individuals to obtain relevant documents. Relevant units and individuals are obliged to provide assistance.” However, the Yangjiang City Notary Office hastily made an administrative document on property inheritance based on a false proof material provided by the party, without any investigation, which caused Zeng Chuanyao’s If the couple's house is illegally inherited, can they shirk their responsibilities? I specifically interviewed Zeng Chuanyao and his wife about their residence registration—the Yuzhou Police Station in Jiangcheng District.A person in charge of the institute told the reporter: The household registration of Zeng Chuanyao and his wife has always been under my jurisdiction.Their life and death certificates should be issued by me to be valid, and any other police station has no right to issue such certificates.The person in charge said that after a resident dies, he must first have a certificate from the hospital and a death certificate issued by the civil affairs department and the street office where the resident lives. After the investigation, it is confirmed that the formalities can be completed and the account can be revoked.Things like this are related to the life and death of citizens, so we should be very careful.At the same time, the person in charge specifically pointed out that the "death certificate" issued by the Chengdong Police Station did not use the special household registration seal of the police station, but an administrative seal. Even if Zeng Chuanyao's certificate was issued by them, this seal would be invalid. Obviously, the "culprit" in this matter should be the "death" certificate issued by the police station, so what answer will the police station have?A person in charge of the Chengdong Police Station told me that the certificate indeed came from their police station, but it is not known who wrote it.He said that they attached great importance to this matter after it happened, and it was indeed their mistake, and they immediately issued a new certificate immediately.The person in charge also said that he was transferred to the institute after March 1997, and he was not there when the certificate came out, so he really knew nothing about the relevant situation at that time.He said that he only learned about the matter when Zeng Chuanyao's lawyer called to inquire about the matter not long ago. At that time, he was very surprised, and took back the copy for careful verification, confirming that the "certificate" really came from the police station.This showed that there were indeed problems in the previous work. He realized that this matter was no small matter, and immediately reported it to the main leaders of the Municipal Bureau.The director of the municipal bureau, the political commissar, the secretary of the Disciplinary Committee and other relevant leading comrades attached great importance to it, and ordered the investigation to be clear quickly, and the matter should be properly handled, so that the parties involved would suffer less losses. When I held up the handwriting on the "death" certificate and asked: Since this is indeed from the Chengdong Police Station, and there is a big red seal of the police station on it, who is the handwriting on it?The other party hurriedly turned his head and walked away in embarrassment.When I wanted to ask about other specific matters, the other party hurriedly said that it was inconvenient to say more about other matters, and it was best to go to the branch office for an interview with the leader. So, who is the author of the police station certificate that triggered the series of strange and ridiculous incidents above?So what is the "official seal" of the Chengdong Police Station above? On the morning of December 27, 1999, I braved the chilly sea breeze and interviewed the person in charge at the Jiangcheng District Public Security Bureau of Yangjiang City.The person in charge said that after the incident happened, the leaders of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the District Bureau attached great importance to it, and properly handled the issue of Zeng Chuanyao and his wife through various means.Subsequently, the Municipal Bureau handed over the official seal of the "Chengdong Police Station" on the "death" certificate to the technical department of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and then sent it to the technical department of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau for appraisal.After careful appraisal by relevant experts from the provincial department, the official seal on the certificate is indeed the official seal of the Chengdong Police Station.But the official seal on this certificate is the special administrative seal of Chengdong Police Station, not the special seal used to revoke the account.The District Bureau immediately set up a task force, and the Disciplinary Committee of the Public Security Bureau conducted a concentrated investigation of all the policemen and related defense personnel of the Chengdong Police Station. After the City Bureau conducted a handwriting inspection on the relevant handwriting materials, it was confirmed that the handwriting on the "certificate" was not done by the relevant personnel of the Chengdong Police Station. . Since this mysterious certificate with the big red seal of the police station is not the handwriting of the relevant personnel of the police station, whose is it?From what channel did the supernatural Sun Xiuzhu get this "proof"?After analysis, the person in charge believes that there are two possibilities: first, some police officers accidentally lost the blank note with the official seal when they went out to handle the case, and they were picked up by outsiders and made full use of it; second, individual quality cannot be ruled out. The poor policeman, taking advantage of his work, issued a blank certificate with the official seal privately and secretly handed it over to the criminal suspect Sun Xiuzhu, so that he could boldly engage in illegal activities.As for who made the certificate that sentenced Zeng Chuanyao's old couple to "death penalty", and who was behind the manipulation of this matter, the other party said that they could only find out after the grandson was caught, but after the incident, this Sun Xiuzhu had already fled to other places to hide. It is understood that the Yangjiang police have repeatedly sent special teams to Shenzhen and other relevant places to hunt down Sun Xiuzhu who absconded with her lover Huang, but so far they have failed.However, the other party admitted that this series of strange incidents was mainly caused by the "certificate". At this point in the investigation, the culprit who caused this series of strange incidents is obviously the "death" certificate with the red seal of the Chengdong Police Station. Knowing who made this mysterious proof, and so far have been helpless in this case, so who can know what is wrong with it?Perhaps as the police said, "everything can only be known when the perpetrator Sun Xiuzhu is captured"... I really didn't expect that this bizarre case, which was already intricate and complicated, would become more complicated and confusing here. When I asked: "The Public Security Bureau became the defendant because of this incident, and the court has already ruled that the Chengdong Police Station and the Jiangcheng District Public Security Bureau lost the case in the first trial after two public hearings. What do you think about this?" A person in charge replied confidently: "Zeng Chuanyao did not make sense. Because the main responsibility for this matter should be the Yangjiang Notary Office, followed by the Yangjiang Court. We can only bear secondary responsibilities at best..." But for When the Public Security Bureau lost the case in the first trial, the other party always avoided answering, and finally said helplessly: "I haven't seen the court judgment yet, because I was not responsible for that matter..." Because of a certificate from the police station, the two elderly people who were still alive were inexplicably judged to be "dead".Then, the real estate built with all his life savings was notarized to be inherited by an unscrupulous daughter-in-law, the real estate was seized, the old couple was kicked out, and the family could not return.Zeng Chuanyao and Xu Xiuying, two gray-haired old men, came to their homes many times to ask for an explanation. The police station, notary office, housing management bureau, and Yangdong court all tried to shirk their responsibilities, causing the two poor old men to suffer mentally and physically. To the great trauma. On February 23, 1999, the unbearable old couple Zeng Chuanyao angrily pushed the Chengdong Police Station and its jurisdiction unit Jiangcheng District Public Security Bureau, Yangjiang Notary Office, and Yangjiang Judicial Bureau to the dock, and strongly demanded the court to order compensation for them. The loss of RMB 200,000 caused by the infringement of the right of reputation shall be jointly and severally liable by the above-mentioned defendants, and the defendants shall make a public apology to them. On April 4 and June 22, 1999, the Yangjiang City District Court held two court sessions to hear this bizarre lawsuit that caused a lot of noise throughout Yangjiang City.
