Chapter 8 Underground Kingdom
On a light rainy evening, the author of this article was walking in the graves. He stopped from time to time and observed something. A hill was buried in weeds. If you were not mistaken, it was the tomb of Princess Jinyu of the Tang Dynasty. From a nearby hole, it can be seen that it was visited by tomb robbers. After a year, during the crackdown by the public security organs, a group of cultural relics dealers were arrested. In this small county where I live, Liu Chaoyang, a prisoner who stole the princess’ tomb, stood in a truck and marched in public. I saw him in the crowd, with his head lowered, with a sign hanging around his neck, and the car turned around the corner, and I passed by a character in this article.
Liu Chaoyang, nicknamed Mouse, was sentenced to three years in prison for tomb robbing. He met Cuban in prison and then followed him to sell drugs.
Let me tell you his story below.
On December 28, 1995, Liu Chaoyang was walking on the way home with six cabbages on his back, thinking about a question in his mind.
He sold radish and cabbage, and later sold soy milk. He rode a tricycle that often fell off the chain. He put a small horn in the basket and shouted: Soy milk, hot soy milk, authentic flavor, healthy drinks.
When the rape flowers bloomed, he stood under a stinky toon tree in the yard and finally figured out why he couldn't make a fortune - he was a farmer.
Just after the Qingming Festival, Liu Chaoyang carried his luggage to Huacheng.
Huacheng Railway Station is a place where dirt and dirt is deteriorating rapidly. A businessman who often travels between Guangdong and Guangxi often warns his relatives and friends like this: Don’t make phone calls at the station, don’t buy anything, don’t take a taxi, and don’t eat or stay in nearby hotels and hotels.
When Liu Chaoyang got off the train, someone snatched his bag and had to sleep in the station square.
A sign in the square said - please do not urinate and defecate here!
There are many mobile phone numbers on the walls and floors around, with the words "Certificate" written on the back.
Liu Chaoyang and nearly a thousand migrant workers who were sleeping in the square were escorted by police, armed police and joint defense team members, and crowded in a small street and alley. The next day, they returned to the square, and the place where they gathered formed a temporary labor market. Whenever a contractor arrived, they surrounded them all, and the contractors looked at the group of people like a pick-up animal. Liu Chaoyang and several other strong migrant workers were selected.
There are many private small coal mines near Huachengyan Town. When Liu Chaoyang first went down the well, it was one morning. The sun shone. He squinted his eyes. The clouds in the sky were light and the wind was light. His body slowly declined. Since then, he has not seen the sun for a whole year. The miners slept for four hours a day, and had meat every meal, but they did not allow them to drink. The good food was not because of the boss' compassion, but to make the miners more efficient. Under the hole, an old miner named Ding told Liu Chaoyang that there had been no salary here for three years. If anyone dared to ask for the salary, a group of thugs would come to beat him up, and even the coal-pulling driver came to kick him a few times.
"Why do you have to do it for him if you don't pay the wages?" Liu Chaoyang asked.
"It's because the boss deducts wages, he still has to continue working." Old Man Ding replied.
A year later, Old Man Ding became Liu Chaoyang's tomb robber. The life experience of this old man in Shanxi can be summarized in one word: poor. If it is summarized in two words, it is: a miner. When he was a child, he started mining. His mother once collected the reeds by the river to make him a cotton jacket. The underground was wet and stuffy. Overnight, his cotton jacket actually sprouted and a small sapling grew. When he grew up, his dream was to open a coal mine by himself. Maybe a man's dream would never come true. Therefore, he was poor all his life, from a vibrant young man to a scorched old man.
Old man Ding is an experienced miner, and this experience has been greatly applied in his later career in tomb robbing.
Once, he pointed to the top of his head and asked Liu Chaoyang: "Do you know what is above?"
"It's mud." Liu Chaoyang replied.
"What about the mud?"
"have no idea."
“It’s a river.”
They also did one thing between mining and tomb robbing - they kidnapped the coal mine boss. The cause was very simple, because the boss did not pay wages. Like all kidnapping cases, Old Man Ding and Liu Chaoyang tied the boss up, hid in a hidden place, and then called their family. The difference was that they didn't ask for much money, and that amount was just the wages they deserved. Despite this, the boss's wife still called the police. It was smart to do this. Most kidnapping cases were done by people they knew.
Even after the money is successful, he will kill the kidnapped person, cover up the crime, and destroy the body. The wonderful thing in the entire kidnapping case is the method of withdrawing money. They asked the boss's wife to throw the money into a public toilet in Yan Town, and the police strictly controlled the surroundings. That night, the moonlight shone on the toilet. Although no one was in and out all night, his wallet disappeared in the early morning of the next day. The police analyzed that the criminals opened the manhole cover from the sewer in the toilet, stretched out a hand, and took the money away.
Three hours later, in a cave, Liu Chaoyang threw a bag in front of the coal mine owner: "Look, this is the money your wife sent."
There was a roll of toilet paper in the bag.
The coal mine owner said, "This bitch."
Old man Ding said: "Your wife has called the police."
Liu Chaoyang looked at Old Man Ding, and the two exchanged glances. He sighed and walked towards the coal mine owner with a knife.
The boss said, "You won't kill me, are you?"
Liu Chaoyang said: "I will let you go."
He cut off the rope from the boss with a knife.
During the future interrogation, Liu Chaoyang did not mention the matter at all, and he did not think it was a crime. The boss also told the police that someone was joking with him. The kidnapping case was eventually cancelled because the coal mine boss claimed that he had not been kidnapped.
Where did Liu Chaoyang and Old Man Ding go later?
In the suburbs of Huacheng, there is a tree in each straw stack. The locals need to store the haystacks for cows. They always keep the haystacks around a tree. On April 3, 1997, the day after the kidnapping, a woman who got up to feed the cattle in the morning saw two people coming out of their own haystacks. Obviously, they slept in the haystacks all night. One of the middle-aged men yawned and sorted out the grass clippings on their hair and clothes, and the other was holding a watermelon with a melon field twenty miles away.
Since then, the two people have traveled all over the most desolate places. Some ancient tombs were in barren mountains and wilderness where people are not able to visit. They can be boldly excavated. Why did they think of tomb robbers? It is impossible to find any rational reason for this kind of thing. There are extremely similarities between tomb robbers and coal digging. Sometimes, they sleep in a quiet hill; sometimes, they sleep in a small woods, and the dew at night wets the grass and hair. When Liu Chaoyang was selling vegetables, his hair was still black. After robbing the tomb, he began to lose his hair in large quantities. The ever-expanding baldness made others and him ignore his own real age, so he wore a hat
.Silence and withdrawal also began from that time. Sometimes he didn't talk to Old Man Ding for several days, only knew how to work hard and wave the shovel. At first, they had no experience and only dug stones and some worthless rags. Later, they knew how to use some simple tools, such as comprehensive exploration of the shovels and detectors, and confirmed the approximate location of the cemetery, and kept digging with confidence. Some holes proved that they had tried their best instead of exhausting their physical strength. Some shallowness was enough to show that they had been discouraged, but they always had some hard courage to question the granite and limestone under their feet. As Old Man Ding said, they lacked some good luck.
The first tomb they successfully stole was in a bamboo forest. They dug it smoothly. The sealing layer was red clay. This red clay was very sticky, so there was no need to consider the problem of landslide. Below the sealing soil was a layer of bluestone slabs. If you pry open the stone slabs and jump down, the tomb was not big, but it was well preserved. Liu Chaoyang shone with a flashlight and saw the entire coffin surrounded by dense white bamboo roots.
This is a tomb of the Qing Dynasty. They accidentally discovered some Ming Dynasty vessels. From the bronze mirror dressing box and several jewelry in the coffin, it can be seen that a woman was buried here. This beauty from many years ago, now a skeleton, turned into dust with her hands. Some pearls and jade uttered a faint blue light, and the two of them were not in a hurry. They sat cross-legged, drank a sip of wine, and smoked a cigarette.
Old man Ding said: "We are rich."
Liu Chaoyang said: "Yes, I'm getting rich."
The next morning, Liu Chaoyang put on his hat. There was an old boat and mast on his hat. He broke the clay pot on the tombstone and grabbed a handful of rice to fill it into his mouth. A bird flew over his head. He forgot to chew it. The rice grains fell from his mouth like maggots. He and Old Man Ding looked back at the hole that had just climbed out. With the gold, silver and jewelry in his arms, they went down the mountain with a smile.
A few years later, the local cultural relics department conducted rescue excavation of the tomb, and people discovered that Liu Chaoyang left a sentence on the coffin with a stick that smeared his feces: The mouse is here to visit!
Below the ground, there is another world.
When you start a torch and drill into your own toilet, you can see the world. There are also some entrances that we notice every day but are forgotten. When you lift the manhole cover, Professor Ma Zhiyu went down from here in 1974; in 1983, the deceased Chen Yin went down from here; in 1996, the hawker Heizi went down from here.
Now we will go down from here too.
There are only mice here, no flies, and all the flies are on the ground.
In this world, there are two kinds of animals, rats and crimes.
Plague and miasma are also produced from here. They are twin brothers, and they have a mother in total.
There is a counterfeit currency manufacturing factory in Jiangsu, where several farmers make one-yuan coins in an air-raid shelter; there is also a counterfeit currency den in Loudi City, Hunan Province, where several laid-off workers make counterfeit banknotes of hundreds of yuan in the basement; Puyang Old Hanning runs in his own cellar to store ginger to make detonators, and Ningbo native Fu Chun digs a hole under the pigpen to produce explosives.
Crime is a strange flower in the underground world.
There are many excavation projects in the city, two of which are sewers and fovea channels.
In 1994, the Hong'an County earthquake occurred. A whole sewer was turned out from the ground and exposed to the world. People were surprised to find that there was a vagina under the vagina. In addition to the sludge, we also saw many things. The pipe and wine glass sold in the same store met again here. The dentures that once said the oath turned into dentures again, and the handkerchiefs that caused love memorial became handkerchiefs again. The sheets that a beautiful young woman slept with now are wrapped in a dead cat rotting here.
What makes people puzzled is what is the Yin Canal below the Yin Canal for use?
Where does this unknown branch in the dark lead to?
Whenever the rainy season comes, Hong'an County is full of **.
A county party secretary who took office in 1986, he had been in power for three years and only did one thing: renovate the sewer. He ordered workers to dig deep and reinforce the sewer to accommodate more rain. The flood used to flow through the streets, but now it flows through the sewer. The yin canal under the ink canal was dug at that time.
The respectable county party secretary was named Sun Zhaoyu. After his death, there was a new street: Zhaoyu Street. Ten years ago, Zhaoyu Street was called Huazi Street. There was not a single flower on Huazi Street, but there were many beggars. 15 years ago, the people also called it "Smell Street". Sun Zhaoyu embezzled public funds, compressed every amount of funds, and deducted the salary of civil servants. He was like a beggar in front of the company, begging his wife like a pug, and asked the boss to show kindness and ask his wife to take out his passbook. One thing needs to be stated that after his death, people found that his deposit was almost zero. We know that zero is the smallest number and an infinite number.
Sun Zhaoyu did a good thing for the people and also provided a favorable place for criminals.
Scientists go to caves to explore, while criminals go to sewers to explore.
There are more than 200 streets and alleys in Hong'an County, with more than 400 sewer holes. One late in 1999, a child who stole the manhole cover encountered something incredible - he heard someone talking in the sewer. The child was brave enough to lift the manhole cover and hid next to him. After a while, he saw an old man with a disheveled face and stinking all over his body crawling out of the sewer.
We recognize that this old man is Old Man Ding. His and Liu Chaoyang's many years of tomb robbing careers did not bring much wealth to him. In 1998, Hong'an County had an unknown underground drug den, which was built by Shanya. After Shanya's death, Gao Fei expanded the underground den into a large-scale drug underground factory. Old Man Ding and Liu Chaoyang were the people who expanded the underground factory at that time. They met Gao Fei through Cuban and found that drug trafficking is much more profitable than tomb robbing, so they soon became part of this drug trafficking gang.
The acquaintance of these people is like a stream of sewage meeting another stream of sewage, which flows together with the dirty and smells like alike.
The design of the underground factory is very clever. They dug another basement in a basement, which is connected to the sewer. Each wellhead of the sewer in the county is both an entrance and an exit.
Late at night on August 10, 2000, four outsiders came to Xiaojing Hutong in the east of Hong'an County. The more they walked forward, the narrower the alley became, as if they had entered a funnel with a pipe extension. At the end of this rather short street, they saw a wall, which was a dead end.
They whispered and waited quietly for something.
"Continue to move forward." A voice said.
The sound was dull, but it appeared around me again.
"Go forward." The voice continued.
They finally understood that the sound came from the underground, and they took two steps forward, and a man turned the manhole cover from the sewer, waved to them, and they jumped down.
Five minutes later, the four people met with the other four in a secret basement.
These eight people are: Gao Fei, Old Man Ding, Liu Chaoyang, Kuban, Zhou Xingxing, Tiezui, Qiu Ba, and Tu Laoye.
Time: August 10, 2000
Location: Hong'an County
Characters: Gao Fei, Old Man Ding, Liu Chaoyang, Kuban, Zhou Xingxing, Qiu Ba, Tiezui, Tu Laoye.
Zhou Xingxing: "Where is this?"
Gao Fei: "Basement."
Zhou Xingxing: "Where is above?"
Gao Fei: "There is also a basement above."
Zhou Xingxing: "What's the sound outside?"
Gao Fei: "Our neighbor."
Old Man Ding: "It's a mouse, a mouse as big as a pig."
Liu Chaoyang: "I am also a mouse, haha."
Gao Fei: "Where is Master Shan?"
Tiezui: "We buried him."
Qiu Ba: "It was Shan Ye who asked us to come here."
Gao Fei: "Well, I saw the red cloth strips tied to the tree."
Cuban: "How did you get out of prison?"
Tu Laoye: "Roll the rope and drill into the chimney, haha."
Old Man Ding: "Who thought it out? His head is smarter than mine."
Zhou Xingxing: "I."
Gao Fei: "You are one person to reach more than twenty people."
Cuban: "I said it was impossible to break through hard, but the people who were the Cannon are too savage."
Gao Fei: "It just happens to be short of staff. Since you are here, let's do it together."
Cuban: "We sell white dogs."
Gao Fei: "I'll introduce you to it. This is Cuban. He dug a tunnel and dug it into the bank, but he didn't get a penny."
Cuban: "Haha, bad luck."
Gao Fei: "The other two, Uncle Ding and Mouse, a master of burrow digging, and a tomb robber."
Liu Chaoyang: "That's all about working hard. Now we are businessmen."
Tiezui: "Let me take a few puffs, I can't stand it anymore."
Tu Laoye: "My drug addiction is about to break out."
Gao Fei: "Okay, have you ever killed someone?"
Iron Mouth: "No."
Gao Fei: "Where are you?"
Zhou Xingxing: "I don't have either."
Gao Fei: "Come that person over."
Old man Ding and Liu Chaoyang carried a person in and gently placed it on the ground. The man seemed to have fallen asleep or fainted, with a black plastic bag on his head and his face could not be seen.
Gao Fei: "Give you a knife and hit his stomach."
Zhou Xingxing took the knife and was very hesitant. If he gave up, it would definitely arouse Gao Fei's suspicion. In order to gain his trust, he could only be tested. The person lying on the ground was motionless, Zhou Xingxing walked over, squatted down, and carefully observed something. Soon, he stabbed him with a knife. As he expected, this was a dead person. Zhou Xingxing noticed that the plastic bag on his face was still motionless, which meant that he was not breathing.
Gao Fei said: "Cut your belly."
Zhou Xingxing cut his belly very quickly, his intestines flowed out, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell.
Gao Fei: "Take out your intestines and see what's in your stomach?"
Zhou Xingxing: "There is a package of white powder!"
Gao Fei: "This corpse was bought from the funeral home. It is safer to transport goods with the corpse. I'll give you some to enjoy the bag of powder!"
Three days later, at 10 a.m.
Zhou Xingxing walked into Hong'an County Public Security Bureau. A man in a police uniform passed by him in the hall. Zhou Xingxing called him: "Are you director here?"
The man looked at him alertly and said, "The director is upstairs, office."
Zhou Xingxing went upstairs and pushed open the door of the director's office. The director was sleeping on the sofa, snoring and snoring loudly.
"Hey, who are you looking for? Why did you come in without knocking on the door?" the director woke up and sat up and asked.
Zhou Xingxing glanced at him, said nothing, walked straight to his desk and sat down.
The director said: "Go out, is that the seat you sit?"
Zhou Xingxing picked up the phone and said to him while dialing: "If you want to keep this position, just shut up."
Zhou Xingxing reported to the "July 17 Prison Cases" command center on the phone: Shanya bought drugs from abroad, and then sold them to Huacheng and the cannons from Northeast China. The cannons and cannons were then wholesale downward, thus forming a huge drug trafficking network. Shanya's arrest was equivalent to cutting off the source of drugs. The cannons from Northeast China gathered a group of bold guys to plan the robbery of the prison**. After Shanya was arrested, Gao Fei became the backbone of the drug trafficking group. He met Kuban through the small oil hammer, and met Old Man Ding and Liu Chaoyang through Cuban's introduction. They secretly built an underground drug processing factory in Hong'an County. Gao Fei can be said to be a criminal genius, extremely alert. He seemed to have noticed something in the past few days and could escape to other places at any time. He asked the command center to issue an order to the Hong'an County Public Security Bureau to carry out the arrest immediately...
Zhou Xingxing handed the phone to the director.
The director was sweating coldly. There was a drug processing factory within his jurisdiction, but he knew nothing. He answered the phone tremblingly. Bai Jingyu, deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, briefly introduced Zhou Xingxing's undercover identity on the phone. Because the operation was extremely confidential, no internal investigation notice was issued. This case is a major case supervised by the Ministry of Public Security. I hope the Hong'an County Public Security Bureau will attach great importance to it, actively cooperate, and immediately carry out the arrest.
The director was timid, nodded and hung up the phone.
"How many police forces do you have in your county have in total?" Zhou Xingxing asked.
The director thought for a while and said: "There are currently 376 on-the-job police officers, including 200 on the front line of the agency and 176 police officers from the police station."
Zhou Xingxing said: "It's not enough, so I'll find them all. The police force is too small and not enough, so I have to find some more people."
The director asked: "How many people are there?"
Zhou Xingxing said: "7."
The director said: "Ah, there are only 7 people. We have more than 300 people arrested 7 people. Isn't it enough?"
Zhou Xingxing introduced him in detail the particularity of this underground drug factory. An hour later, the two developed a foolproof arrest plan. The police dispatched nearly 400 police officers, disguised as hawkers, pedestrians, clothing store owners, customers, shopping women, men sitting on roadside benches and making phone calls. They strictly controlled the 400 sewer wells in the streets of the county, because each well could be an exit for criminals to escape.
At 1 noon on August 13, 2000, Hong'an police suddenly attacked and surrounded the building on the underground drug processing plant. After the persuasion of surrender, the police used tear gas to prepare for forcibly breaking through. The criminals in the basement had already discovered it when the police arrived, and after a brief discussion, they decided to flee separately.
They fled along the sewer, and the first one was Tu Laoye. At the intersection of Central Street, he carefully opened the manhole cover of the sewer and was arrested as soon as he climbed to the ground. The other people were also arrested as soon as they showed up.
Some details of the arrest are worth mentioning. Liu Chaoyang burst into tears when he was arrested, and shouted "pain" when he was arrested. Old man Ding was incontinent when he was arrested, Kuban wielded his knife when he was arrested, and Tu Laoye bit the policeman's arm when he was arrested.
At 3 pm, five criminals were arrested, only Gao Fei and Qiu Ba have not been arrested yet.
Where are they?
Still in the sewer.
When the police surrounded him, Gao Fei's nose had already smelled the danger on the ground, so he chose another direction to escape - the end of the sewer. Indeed, the police ignored this point. They only monitored the wellhead closely and did not set up police force controls at the river beach at the end of the sewer.
The sewer in Hong'an County leads to the Sishui River in the west of the city.
Gao Fei bent down and walked in the darkness, lost his way many times because there were some dead ends and some complicated branches in the sewer. Soon, he distinguished the direction and accelerated his pace. Suddenly he heard something, looked back, behind him, far away, the terrible beam of light broke through the darkness, and several blurry shadows were slowly moving.
At 3:10, the police chief ordered a search for the sewer. Four policemen and a police dog formed a search team. They entered from the wellhead of Xiaojing Hutong and inspected them all the way. Like Gao Fei, they soon got lost. At a fork, their opinions were divided. One said to go here and the other said they should go there. Finally, they obeyed the will of heaven and advanced along the direction of the dog barking. Twenty minutes later, a team member gave up because they could not bear the stench in the sewer. The other two team members agreed immediately. In order to fulfill their police responsibilities, they fired a few random shots at the end of the dark corridor and returned to the ground.
Gao Fei squatted on the ground, holding his breath, and the bullet hit the arch not far from his head, and a piece of soil fell into the water. If the police continued to search forward, Gao Fei would be arrested.
Gao Fei raised his ears and opened his eyes wide, confirming that the danger had disappeared, and walked forward quickly without stopping. The water in the sewer flowed to the river, and he also relied on this direction. After a while, he looked up and saw the light at the end of the trench, far ahead of him, and this time, he saw not the beam of light emitted by the police flashlight, but the light during the day.
He saw the exit.
Gao Fei was ecstatic and walked to the exit and was soon depressed again - there was an iron fence blocking the exit. Although it was rusty, it was difficult to turn the iron bars with both hands.
He calmed down and thought for a few minutes, and soon came up with a solution. He took off his clothes, soaked in water, wrapped it around two iron bars, and found a thick branch from the debris in the sewer, and twisted it hard. The iron bars made a creaking sound, and the iron fence had a gap that the body could just squeeze through.
Gao Fei washed his face in the river and walked up to a bridge. Suddenly, he felt as if someone was behind him.
He turned his head.
There was indeed someone staring at him from behind.
Zhou Xingxing appeared like a ghost.
Gao Fei: "Are you a policeman?"
Zhou Xingxing: "Yes."
Gao Fei: "I'm so stupid, I should have thought of it long ago."
Zhou Xingxing: "Actually you are quite smart."
Gao Fei: "How did you know I would run out of here?"
Zhou Xingxing: "I have thought about it. If I were you, I would have chosen here."
Gao Fei: "Let me go?"
Zhou Xingxing: "Impossible."
"So, okay." Gao Fei simply sat on the ground. Some pedestrians passing by on the bridge stopped to watch. They didn't understand why this person was sitting in the middle of the road.
"Do you know why I'm sitting here?"
Gao Fei's right hand was kept in his pocket and did not take it out. Zhou Xingxing looked at Gao Fei and said, "You have a gun or a grenade in your hand. Everyone around you is your hostage."
Gao Fei: "Smart, you are also my hostage, I will be the first to kill you."
Zhou Xingxing: "Then you shoot, the gunshots will attract the police nearby, but you still can't escape."
Gao Fei: "You have to know, I killed someone when I was 17 years old and didn't even frown."
Zhou Xingxing: "I was 17 years old when I first solved a murder case."
Gao Fei: "Now think about it, there will be no second person like you in the police nationwide. He is smart, bold and amazing."
Zhou Xingxing: "There is another one, you forgot to say it."
Gao Fei: "What?"
Zhou Xingxing: "I'm not afraid of death."
Gao Fei: "I don't believe it."
Zhou Xingxing also sat on the ground, not talking, just looking at him.
Gao Fei took out his pistol from his pocket and said to Zhou Xingxing: "I'll count three times. If you don't leave yet, I'll shoot."
Gao Fei: "One--"
Gao Fei: "Two—"
Zhou Xingxing said: "Three."
Gao Fei smiled and said, "I have a kind of food, if I have wine, I can have a drink with you."
Chapter completed!
