Since the State Council officially announced the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977, college students have been a "scarce species" for 20 years. Especially in rural areas, in the 1980s and 1990s, if a family could have a college student, it would be an honor for the entire village.
In 1995, Huang Yizhen lived in Lianhuashi Village, Bazhou District, Sichuan. For many years, she had been a transparent figure in the village, timid and cowardly, and did not like to argue with others. However, recently, her entire temperament has changed.
Why? Because Huang Yizhen gave birth to a "Wenquxing", her son was the first college student in Lianhuashi Village, Fengxi Township, Bazhou since the founding of New China! Could she not be proud?
However, Huang Yizhen, who had just been able to raise her head and behave as a human being, was hacked to death in the street together with her son not long after. What exactly happened that day?
College student mother and son died tragically on a hillside
On February 2, 1995, on a hillside near Lianhuashi Village, Fengxi Township, Bazhou, a fierce quarrel was heard in the distance. The noise was too loud. Curious villagers speculated while Thinking of the reason for the quarrel, he put down his work and hurried up the hillside.
When they reached the hillside, the scene in front of them shocked them: they saw two people lying in a pool of blood on the ground, with bowl-sized wounds on their heads and necks still bleeding, and they made no movement at all. No, he's probably dead!
The brave villagers took a closer look, and then shouted: "This is Zhao Junfeng, a college student in our village, and his mother Huang Yizhen!"
"This college student has been born for so many years, and he was hacked to death. Who is so vicious? "
" He has only been away for school for a few days. Did he offend anyone? "
He Guobin
The villagers were talking about it. Soon the village doctor He Guobin also heard the news and rushed to the scene. He stepped forward to investigate. After some research, I soon told everyone: "Huang Yizhen and her son Zhao Junfeng both died of severe brain contusion caused by skull fracture . Their skulls were chopped off. According to my guess, the murder weapon was an axe!"
The ax is a daily work tool for the villagers. Every household has it. It is usually used to chop firewood and trees. Now the big ax used to chop firewood and trees is actually hitting people's foreheads. Looking at the wounds on the mother and son, the villagers just feel A chill ran down my spine.
The village chief went to the town to call the police, and the village doctor asked two people to pull a rope to protect the scene. After waiting for two hours, Fang Yuan, the intelligence brigade leader of the Bazhou District Public Security Bureau of Bazhong City, led a team to the scene.
Based on the quarrel heard by the villagers and the time of death identified by the forensic doctor, it can be inferred that the murder occurred at noon. February 2 is the third day of the Lunar New Year. Most people are idle at home, and people are coming and going in broad daylight. There was a life lawsuit.
Soon, the police began to search for witnesses throughout the village. Although the hillside was some distance away from the village, there was still a possibility of witnesses appearing during this time.
Soon, the police found several witnesses, and the case was immediately revealed.
A murder caused by a few cypress saplings
The first witness found by the police was named Li Guoshu, who was also a villager in Lianhuashi Village.
According to Li Guoshu's account, he was too bored to have breakfast early on the third day of junior high school, so he went to look in his own field alone. When he came back, he passed by this hillside and heard a quarrel on the hillside.
It was normal for people in the village to quarrel, and he didn't pay attention to it. However, the noise became more and more fierce, and there was also the voice of Zhao Junfeng, a college student in the village, who was the only scholar in the village. Li Guoshu went up the slope out of curiosity.
Li Guoshu
On one end of the slope stood Zhao Junfeng and his mother Huang Yizhen, and on the other end were father and son Zhao Renxin and Zhao Jianping. The father and son were usually very domineering, but now they were holding axes and sticks in their hands, looking fierce. , he was so frightened that he did not dare to come out to start a fight.
Li Guoshu didn't hear clearly what they were arguing about. Soon he saw Zhao Renxin carrying a stick and swinging it at Huang Yizhen's body. His mother was beaten. Zhao Junfeng refused, so he went up and tore Zhao Renxin with his mother.
Zhao Renxin was too old to be a match for a strong man in his twenties. Seeing that he was about to suffer a loss, his son Zhao Jianping came up angrily with an axe. Without saying a word, a large ax struck Zhao Junfeng on the head. He watched as his son was chopped down. , Huang Yizhen screamed, and many villagers heard that scream, it was very sad!
Zhao Jianping chopped Zhao Junfeng a few times. When he saw that he was motionless, he went to chop Huang Yizhen again. When Zhao Jianping was chopping the person, his father held him back to prevent him from running away! With such a big ax, I hit my head and neck with all my strength every time! After they killed someone, the father and son took an ax and a stick and walked downhill. Li Guoshu was hiding in the grass next to him and didn't move, so they didn't notice.
In addition to the witness Li Guoshu who witnessed it with his own eyes, several villagers said they saw it with their own eyes, but they were farther away and did not look so closely. Another villager said that he was drying something on the roof of his house and saw the murder scene on the hillside from a distance. The man holding an ax to chop people looked like Zhao Jianping, a villager from this village, and later he also saw Zhao Renxin The father and son came back from that direction. Zhao Jianping was carrying an ax behind him with a red mark on it.
李国书
Several villagers said that they saw Zhao Renxin and his son coming back from the hillside during the time of the incident. Zhao Jianping had obvious blood stains on his body, and he hid a bloodstained ax behind his back. Went home.
This is simply a major murder case that has been watched by many people. Based on the information provided by the villagers, Fang Yuan immediately led the team to the home of Zhao Renxin and Zhao Jianping. According to the villagers, the father and son had not separated and had been living together. However, after arriving at the Zhao family, the only person in the Zhao family was his father, Zhao Renxin.
The police just asked about the murder on the hillside. Zhao Renxin immediately replied: "Huang Yizhen and her son Zhao Junfeng were killed by me. I brought an ax today and planned to chop some firewood back to burn, but it turned out that The two of them had a dispute, and they bullied me because of the large number of people. I hacked them all to death in a fit of anger! "
Zhao Renxin actually took all the blame. This surprised everyone and asked him about the whereabouts of Zhao Jianping. He just claimed that he didn't know. When he was asked where the ax was, he took it out, but the ax, which was once stained with blood and probably contained fingerprints, had been washed clean and there were no clues left. The bloody clothes that Zhao Jianping wore on the day of the murder were not found in the Zhao family.
Although Zhao Renxin admitted all the crimes, there were so many witnesses. The police arrested Zhao Renxin and then began to hunt for the main criminal Zhao Jianping. However, because transportation and information were relatively backward at that time, there was neither a real-name ticket purchase system nor monitoring, and even the telephone was a mobile phone that only a few people could afford. Information communication was not smooth. Zhao Jianping's escape seemed like a lost cause and he could not be found. Traces are gone.
While tracing Zhao Jianping's escape trail, the police interrogated Zhao Renxin, hoping to find a breakthrough from him.
The first thing the police want to figure out is the motive behind the murder of Zhao Jianping and his son.
According to the villagers, Huang Yizhen was very cowardly and timid during his lifetime and never had any disputes with others. Although Zhao Junfeng was the first college student in the village in decades, he was very polite and never arrogant or bullying. He is respected by scholars, and no one will find trouble with him casually. What is the conflict that makes the two families so quarrelsome?
Huang Yizhen's home
In order to understand the murder motive of the Zhao family and his son, Fang Yuan of the Bazhou District Public Security Bureau conducted another interrogation of Zhao Renxin. Zhao Renxin, who had previously confessed and claimed that he had killed both mother and son, was stunned for a long time when faced with the questions asked by the police, and finally said he did not know.
"Since there was no conflict, why did you brutally kill the mother and son? According to the villagers, you had been arguing on the hillside for a long time. Since there was no conflict, what were you arguing about?"
Facing Fang Yuan's series of questions, it was difficult to justify himself. Only then did Zhao Renxin admit that the reason why he killed people was because his son had a dispute with them. It seemed that his son wanted to dig up some cypress saplings. Huang Yizhenfei said that he bought them and planted them, but his son Zhao Jianping thought it was inappropriate. Maybe, the sapling is wild. So the two sides quarreled, and finally because of the conflict between several saplings, the Zhao family and his son killed someone in anger.
Crime scene
Although Zhao Renxin admitted that the murder case was related to his son, he still insisted that he killed the mother and son himself, and he could not let others bully his son.
Fang Yuan therefore followed him and said: "Since it was not your son who killed the person, and you have confessed before the law, then tell us where Zhao Jianping is. Since he is the person involved, he should come and explain clearly."
Zhao Renxin looked at the police It seemed that he believed his own words and no longer wanted to hold his son responsible. Then he said that before Zhao Jianping left, he said that he was going to find a coal mine in Hebei to make a living by digging coal.
Chasing the murderer for tens of thousands of miles for more than 20 years
From Sichuan to Hebei, the distance is more than 1,500 kilometers. After learning from Zhao Renxin that Zhao Jianping might have fled to Hebei to mine coal, Fang Yuan immediately began to deploy and arranged a group of police officers to find Zhao Jianping. He and his relatives conducted surveillance, while he led another group of police officers three thousand miles to Hebei to search for him from coal mine to coal mine.
It took decades for a village to produce a college student. He was the pride of a family and even the entire village. And he was brutally hacked to death with an ax in broad daylight during the Chinese New Year. This caused a great impact in the local area!
Especially the family members of the deceased and local villagers, they don’t understand why the police failed to arrest anyone in a case that everyone saw clearly. Is it negligence and malfeasance? People's speculation and dissatisfaction also put great pressure on the Bazhou District Public Security Bureau.
Fang Yuan came to Hebei with a few police officers full of hope. They visited coal mines one by one to investigate, hoping to catch the real culprit quickly. However, they searched all the coal mines in Hebei and failed to find Zhao Jianping.
Fang Yuan even suspected that there were some black coal mines that the authorities did not know about. However, they had visited all the areas that might produce coal, and there were no black coal mines.
Zhao Jianping cannot be found in Hebei, so it can only mean that either they were deceived by Zhao Renxin, or Zhao Renxin was deceived by his own son. Zhao Jianping may really intend to let his father take the bullet for him. In short, the Bazhou District Public Security Bureau traveled three thousand miles across the province to pursue the murderer, spending a lot of manpower and material resources, and ultimately ended in failure.
Chasing the murderer across provinces yielded nothing. However, the dragnet was opened at Zhao Jianping's home, relatives' homes, and all the places he loved to go on weekdays, but the fish he wanted to catch disappeared out of thin air.
Zhao Jianping was not caught for several years, and the case remained unresolved for five years. In 2000, the local court decided to sentence Zhao Renxin first. Subsequently, Zhao Renxin was prosecuted for intentional homicide and was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of 5 years. .
The main criminal is still at large. The result of this trial will neither close the case nor determine the public sentiment. After Zhao Renxin was sentenced to prison according to law, the Bazhou District Public Security Bureau is still trying its best to find Zhao Jianping.
The Ministry of Public Security classified Zhao Jianping as a Class B fugitive. In these years, police officers such as Fang Yuan have organized six or seven cross-provincial pursuits. Even the local police chief personally pursued cross-provincial pursuits to Xinjiang. All these trips added up, There are as many as thirty thousand miles.
However, after chasing the murderer for 30,000 miles all over China, he could not catch a single Zhao Jianping.
When the crime occurred in 1995, Zhao Jianping was already in his 30s. He had his parents in court, his wife and children around him. But more than 20 years later, in 2017, even his father, who took the blame for him, was released from prison and died of illness. They have never come back to take a look, nor have they contacted anyone at home.
Over the past 20 years, Zhao Jianping has disappeared without a trace, but Fang Yuan and the entire Bazhou District Bureau think this is unreasonable. Technology has become more and more developed, including real-name system, facial fingerprint and other information entry, Sky Eye system tracking Wait, even if Zhao Jianping doesn't contact his family, can he hide in the mountains without seeing anyone? If he appears in the crowd and the police cannot catch him, it means that he must have a new identity that can cover up the past, commonly known as bleaching!
Looking at the long-standing unsolved cases across the country in recent years, there are already many murderers who have bleached their identities and lived under the public's nose.
With this idea in mind, the police immediately began a large-scale investigation from the household registration aspect, especially the relatives of Zhao Jianping's family, and each one was screened at all levels. During this screening process, the police soon discovered that Zhao Jianping had a cousin with an abnormal household registration. This cousin was named Deng Yucheng. Many years ago, he suddenly moved his household registration from Bazhou, Sichuan to and Heshuo County, in Xinjiang.
How could a 50-year-old poor farmer with no property or job outside his household suddenly move his household registration for no reason? Fang Yuan took several police officers and immediately went to the door based on the original address record of the household registration, only to find that Deng Yucheng, who was supposed to be living in Xinjiang, was still staying in the village of in Bazhou.
Deng Yucheng has not been out for a long time in more than 20 years, and his name is not Deng Yucheng, but Deng Yuming. He does not grow up like the Deng Yu in the household registration. After questioning, it was found that Deng Yuming had no other brothers. This Deng Yucheng was really suspicious.
The police quickly took out Zhao Jianping's old photos from many years ago for comparison. Although they were only old photos from many years ago, and Zhao Jianping's appearance must have changed a lot in more than 20 years, the household registration photos and Zhao Jianping's old photos were compared. Point-to-point technical analysis shows that their similarity reaches 93%.
Zhao Jianping
With this information as evidence, Fang Yuan immediately organized the police to track him across provinces again, directly to his destination, Heshuo County, Xinjiang Province.
This time, Zhao Jianping was finally captured on the spot.
The fugitive actually married a wife, had children and became a boss
Zhao Jianping, who had been on the run for more than 20 years, was finally captured, but the police officers in the Bazhou Division were not happy at all. Over the years, they have dreamed of catching the real culprit. They have imagined the scene of Zhao Jianping being arrested countless times. Maybe he was doing odd jobs in a factory, maybe he was a homeless man picking up scraps on the street, maybe he was hiding in a remote mountain village and planting a few acres of land.
As a result, the police never imagined that they would arrest a boss sitting on a big leather chair in a large company.
That's right, Zhao Jianping, who has been on the run for 25 years, has lived a very comfortable life. Not only did he show his face openly, he also opened a labor service company , married a young and beautiful wife and gave birth to a child, and he killed two people. It seemed to have no effect on him.
After being arrested, Zhao Jianping quickly explained the reason for the murder on the hillside, which was roughly consistent with what his father said. It was because of the competition for three cypress saplings that he killed him with an ax in a rage. According to Zhao Jianping, the two families have had a long-standing grudge. Because the farmland is close to each other, they often have conflicts over water for irrigation, and he has long been irritated.
Zhao Jianping
The so-called contradiction is just that Huang Yizhen has always been timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so she always gave in to him, so they were able to live in peace for many years. Later, Huang Yizhen's son became successful, and he couldn't see his mother being bullied again, so he wanted to use reason to protect his mother. , but the village bully didn't talk about legal principles, so the murder on the hillside happened. I feel pity for a mother who has endured so many years, and for a student who has lived in poverty for ten years.
In June 2019, the Intermediate People’s Court of Bazhong City, Sichuan Province heard the case of Zhao Jianping.
Zhao Jianping, who had pleaded guilty before, suddenly cried out that he was wronged when he arrived in court. He put all the blame on his late father, saying that both mother and son were hacked to death by his father.After hunting Zhao Jianping for 25 years, the Bazhou District Public Security Bureau has already mastered a large amount of personal and material evidence. In the face of irrefutable evidence, Zhao Jianping finally confessed!
In 2020, Zhao Jianping was sentenced to death by the Bazhong Intermediate People's Court for committing intentional homicide. Zhao Jianping did not appeal and was eventually executed.
Zhao Jianping
killed a mother and her son for three saplings, and sent his father to jail for 15 years, leaving his wife and children alone. After Zhao Jianping was sentenced to death, he left behind another pair of poor people - his second wife and son. From then on, the wife could only live alone with her son, and the child would eventually live in the shadow of the murderer's father.
