Two cases of disappearance

The story has to start with a disappearance case.

On May 16, 1985, Du Changying, a villager from Yemiao Village in Shangxian County, and her brother Du Changnian walked to Shangxian County to go to the market.

Because there are more than a dozen pigs at home, Du Changying brought a plastic bag filled with fertilizer before leaving, hoping to buy some bean cakes from the market to feed the pigs. In addition to

, he also brought an IOU with a face value of 1.85 yuan (equivalent to 110 yuan now). This IOU was given to him by the Shangxian Paper Mill, which had just purchased wheat straw from Du Changying not long ago.

Shangxian Paper Mill is between Yemiao Village and Shangxian Market. When the brothers of the Du family passed by the paper mill, Du Changying wanted to cash the IOU, but because Hou Yiting, the cashier of the paper mill, was not there, the brothers continued to go to Shangxian County.

At ten in the morning, the Du brothers arrived at the county seat. The two separated at Xiguan Market and made an appointment to meet again at the market at four o'clock in the afternoon. But at four o'clock in the afternoon, Du Changying did not appear.

Du Changnian waited for a while at the market. Seeing that his younger brother did not appear, he went home first. But at 10 o'clock in the evening, Du Changying still did not go home.

If this happened now, Du Changying's family must have been very worried. But in the 1980s, it was not uncommon for family members not to return home overnight without saying hello because people did not have mobile phones or landlines, nor were they popularized in every household, and there was a lack of night lighting in rural areas.

They may have met an acquaintance by chance and visited the other party's house or helped out, or they may have encountered an employer who is looking for someone to do short-term labor (such as washing clothes, harvesting crops, building walls), and they stop by each other after dark. stay at home.

Therefore, Du Changying's family was not particularly worried at first, but on the second day, Du Changying still did not go home, the third day was still the same, then the fourth day, the fifth day...

The Du family was anxious .

htmlOn May 27th, 11 days after Du Changying disappeared, Du Changnian went to the county town to look for Du Changying again, just like the previous days.

When passing by the paper factory at home, Du Changnian suddenly remembered that his younger brother had wanted to cash the IOU. Thinking of this, he hurried into the factory to find Hou Yiting to inquire about the news.

Hou Yiting told Du Changnian that someone took Du Changying's IOU just two days ago and exchanged 1.85 yuan.

According to Hou Yiting, this man is about 40 years old, very short, with a round face and big ears, he should be bald (he was wearing a cloth hat at the time), and he is articulate. He said that Du Changying owed him 20 yuan and used the IOU to offset part of the debt.

Hou Yiting's description reminded Du Changnian of an acquaintance of Du Changying, who was named Long Zhimin and lived in Yangyuhe Township, Shangxian County.

htmlOn May 28, Du Changnian summoned another 8 people and planned to go to Wang Cong to question Long Zhimin and ask him to explain Du Changying's whereabouts.

But as soon as they walked halfway, they saw that the person approaching in the distance turned out to be Long Zhimin. And looking at the direction he's going, it's like going to the county seat.

Du Changnian asked others to focus on Long Zhimin, and he immediately returned to the paper mill to find Hou Yiting. When Long Zhimin walked past the window of the paper factory, Hou Yiting determined that he was the short man who cashed the loan. After

, Du Changnian tried to persuade Long Zhimin to go to the Public Security Bureau with them, but after the persuasion failed, Du Changnian and others controlled Long Zhimin and wanted to forcibly drag him to the Public Security Bureau.

When they passed the Xiguan long-distance bus station with heavy traffic, Long Zhimin suddenly fell to the ground and shouted loudly. He loudly asked Du Changnian what he had done wrong, accusing Du Changnian of dragging him to the police station without a legitimate reason.

Long Zhimin's uproar attracted many onlookers. When he and Du Changnian were pulling together, a dark-skinned young man was squeezed out of the crowd.

The young man told Du Changnian that other people were also looking for Long Zhimin. He told Du Changnian to look after the people first, and he immediately called them over.

It turned out that in addition to Du Changying, Long Zhimin was also implicated in another disappearance case.

On February 10, 1985, Jiang Sanhe, a demobilized soldier and deputy secretary of the village branch of a village in Shangguanfang Township, Shangxian County, returned home with three companions who had gone out to work together. They met Long Zhimin near the Xiguan long-distance bus station. Long Zhimin was looking for someone to dig a pig sty for his family at a cost of 5 yuan a day.

According to Jiang Sanhe's fellow villagers, they all wanted to go home early because the Chinese New Year was approaching, and Long Zhimin only had one person, so in the end only Jiang Sanhe followed him.

Since then, Jiang Sanhe has disappeared.

After responding to the police station twice but no response, Jiang Sanhe's family had to form a team to find their missing relatives.

By May 28, 1985, Jiang Sanhe's family had been looking for him for several months.

When the two relatives-seeking teams converged, they turned and sent Long Zhimin to walk for a while. After

, Long Zhimin lay down on the ground again, refusing to get up for anything. In desperation, the family tracing team could only leave part of the people to watch Long Zhimin, and sent another part to the nearest Chengguan police station to report the case.

At 7 p.m., the county public security bureau brought Long Zhimin into custody.

Three corpses

htmlIn the early morning of May 29, Wang Koucheng, the captain of the county public security bureau, arranged for Gou Buyun, a stockholder of the pre-trial stock, to go to Wang Changlong's house to check the situation.

htmlAt noon, Gou Buyun returned to the county public security bureau. He reported that the Long's house was very dark and stinky, with purple spots on the stairs that looked like bloodstains, and the ground was uneven and looked like it had been shoveled.He initially judged that the Long family was very suspicious.

In addition, he also mentioned that when he went to investigate, Long Zhimin's wife Yan Shuxia was also at home.

Because of meningitis, Yan Shuxia was paralyzed in her lower limbs. When they went, Yan Shuxia was lying on the bed. Gou Buyun responded that she spoke intermittently, without beginning or end, and did not get any effective information from her.

At 1 p.m., Wang Koucheng, Gou Buyun and other police officers went to Wang Longlong's house to check the situation.

When the police arrived, Yan Shuxia was not at home. After searching, the village officials said that she was in a daze by a well west of Longwu.

The Dragon House is built on the slope at the entrance of the village and is an adobe house.

(Longzhi Minjia Appearance The picture comes from the Internet)

The house faces north, with a large sloping farmland to the south. At the end of the cultivated land is the road from Shangxian County to the townships in the southwest. The distance between the two is about 30 meters, and there is nothing in the middle to block the sight.

The west side of the dragon house is covered with toilets and pigsties, surrounded by a half-person-high earth wall, and the east side is next to the neighbor's house.

In addition, there is a village road passing behind the Long's house. The village road is in the shape of a "7". One end is connected to the road, and the other end turns west at the southeast corner of the Long's house, and then branches off into the village.

When Wang Koucheng pushed open the door of Long's house, a suffocating stench hit his face.

The place where the windows of the Dragon's house should have been covered with soil embryos, the room was dim and light, and all kinds of sundries were thrown on the ground.

The internal structure of the Dragon's house is similar to that of most of the local villagers' houses. As soon as you enter the door, there is a hall, with a room on the left and right, and a ladder leading to the attic is placed on the left side of the hall.

Do you still remember the purple spots on the ladder that Gou Buyun mentioned before? After on-site inspection, the police found that such spots were scattered all over the house of the Long family.

The search lasted for about 40 minutes. Since nothing was found, the captain of the criminal police, Wang Koucheng, took the police out of the Long family, hoping to ask Yan Shuxia for questioning.

At this point, Yan Shuxia had left the well and was curled up under a persimmon tree to the west of the Dragon House. Her eyes were dull, her hair was disheveled, and she was staring indifferently in the direction of her home.

Yan Shuxia had two wooden benches by her hand. Seeing Wang Koucheng approaching, she supported the bench and moved her body towards the root of the tree, but did not respond to Wang Koucheng's question.

The inquiries were fruitless, and Wang Koucheng had to return to the Long's house again. This time, he smelled a familiar smell in the stench - the stench of corpses.

This smell led Wang Koucheng to the east room. Under a pile of wheat straw, he found two naked male bodies.

Wang Koucheng immediately stopped the search. He sent someone to block the scene, and drove back to the county seat to report his findings to Zhou Yu, director of the Public Security Bureau.

htmlAt 4:00 p.m. on May 29, Wang Koucheng returned to Long's house with more staff.

This time, he made a new discovery.

In the second round of search, when Wang Koucheng tried to fully open the gate of Long's house from outside to inside, the left door was bounced back.

It turned out that there was a haystack behind the door on the left, in which were hidden the wheels of a rack cart and a translucent fertilizer bag.

But the bag contained not fertilizer, but a female corpse.

After the forensics confirmed that the two corpses found in the east of Long's house had died for more than 4 days and 10 days, respectively, the death time of the female body in the fertilizer bag was about 3 or 4 days.

Du and Jiang's family members identified the remains. One of the two male remains belonged to Du Changying, but the other did not belong to Jiang Sanhe.

When Wang Koucheng discovered the two bodies for the first time, he thought it was just a murder case related to the disappearance of Du and Jiang, but the facts were obviously far more complicated than he had guessed.

What kind of case is this?

Wang Chong's "Terracotta Warriors"

When the police visited Wang Chong, a piece of information caught their attention: There used to be a radish cellar at the entrance of Long's house, which has now been filled with cabbage.

Wang Koucheng called Long's wife over and asked her to explain the location of the radish cellar. When Long's wife moved to the door, the place she pointed was less than one meter away from the threshold of Long's house.

Wang Koucheng arranged for a militiaman to excavate the location that used to be the radish cellar. After a few digs, the militiaman stopped nervously. I saw a lot of corn leaves turned out from the ground, and red liquid seeped out.

Wang Koucheng immediately called for a few more people, and asked them to take the place where the corn leaves were exposed as the center of the circle. First, instead of digging down, clear the covering soil horizontally until no more corn leaves appeared below.

When the excavation stopped, a shallow pit 3 meters long and 2 meters wide was exposed to everyone's eyes, and the pit was full of corn leaves and corn stalks.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

When the cornstalks were lifted, the crowd erupted in exclamations.

There were 8 or 9 corpses in the shallow pit!

The corpses are staggered and arranged neatly in the pit. From the gap between the corpses, there is actually another layer, or more than one layer!

For a time, everyone was stunned by this nightmarish scene.

Subsequently, Wang Koucheng stopped the investigation for the third time, and the case was reported to the Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, a platoon of the Armed Police Brigade, loaded with live ammunition, rushed to Wang Chang by car to maintain order. A wireless phone was also set up at the crime scene to facilitate contact with the local public security bureau.

At 2:00 p.m. the next day, Zhang Jingxian, deputy director of the Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department, led a group of criminal investigators from the provincial department to arrive at the scene to resume criminal investigation work. After that, the central working group also stationed in Shangxian.

The corpse removal, recording and autopsy work on the burial pit at the entrance of Long's house lasted for two days and did not end until 11 am on May 31. After the criminal investigators counted, a total of 33 bodies were found in the pit.

But not all the victims of the Long Zhimin case.

Half an hour later, when the police probed around the Long's house with a metal-tipped javelin, they found a second burial pit in the Long's pigpen.

The pit is 2 meters long, 1 meter wide, and about 1.5 meters deep, with 8 bodies buried there. The arrangement of the remains is exactly the same as that of the "radish cellar" pit.

htmlOn June 5, the police found another pit 50 centimeters outside the soil wall of the Long's toilet. Only the bones were left in the pit. After forensic identification, there were four remains here.

So far, the police have found the remains of 48 victims, 31 males and 17 females, in Longzhi's house.

During the search of Long's home, the police found a large number of victims' belongings, including hair, watches, shoes, and clothing.

The police also found food stamps and 15 deposit receipts hidden in the Dragon House. The food stamps totaled 91.5 jin, and the deposit receipts totaled 573 yuan (equivalent to 30,000 yuan now). Several of the depositors did not write about Long Zhimin, but his brother-in-law Yan Chongshan.

After the incident, in order to facilitate the families of the victims, the Dragon Case Investigation Team set up a reception desk for identifying the remains of the Dragon Case in the courtyard of the Yangyuhe Township and Township Government, and hung up the clothes and shoes found in the Long family in the courtyard.

In addition, the police also set up a body identification section for the remains found in the "radish cellar" pit.

Through the identification of remains and relics, more than 30 of the 48 victims were identified by their families.

The modus operandi

Although Long Zhimin was controlled by the police on May 28, the investigation of the case has just begun, and there are still many questions to be answered.

For example, was the Long Zhimin case a gang crime, or was it committed by him and his wife? Why did these victims appear in the Long family? What are the modus operandi and tools used in this case? And what's the motive?

According to Long's confession, this was not an accomplice committing the crime. He killed everyone alone, and the location of the murder was his home.

Long Zhimin said that he began to commit murders in 1983. He usually chooses foreigners or migrant workers as his targets of murder in places with a large floating population, such as Xiguan long-distance bus station, county and city markets, and city gates. After that, he will deceive them to his home for various reasons (mostly deceive the other party that he has work to do).

For example, on February 10, he told Jiang Sanhe that his family needed someone to dig a pigsty and asked Jiang Sanhe to help him work.

htmlOn May 22, he lied to a young man in the county who was collecting wine bottles, asking him to follow him home when there were wine bottles in the village.

And on May 26, he lied to an elderly woman (the victim in the fertilizer bag) that he had chicks for sale at his house (when Long met the victim, she was in front of the chick stand).

At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the murder, Long Zhimin usually only tricks one person into his house at a time.

These victims usually arrive at the dragon's house in the afternoon. After that, the dragon will try various ways to delay the time and let them stay until dusk.

For the victims who are tricked into taking part-time jobs, this is relatively simple. The dragon only needs to direct them to work. For other victims, the dragon will continue to make up other reasons.

For example, when the young man who collected the waste arrived at Long's house at 6 pm, Long once "persuaded" him that it was not suitable to collect the waste at this time, because the villagers were all working in the fields while the weather was cool. He might as well wait until it is dark and the villagers go home from the fields to collect wine bottles from each household. At the same time, Long also arranged for him to build a pigpen for himself.

As for the female victim who wanted to buy chicks, Long said that it was too late today and it was too dark to see the male and female of the chicks, so it would be easy to pick them up during the day.

Because of the lack of lighting in the countryside at night, each township has only one bus to the county seat every day. Once these victims fail to leave the magic cave (Dragon's house) before dusk, they can only stay at his house and wait until the next day. Walk.

As mentioned earlier, in the countryside in the 1980s, such things were not uncommon, and these victims often lived in the Long family unsuspecting.

In addition, for male victims, they may feel that they are strong, and the short Long Zhimin can't do anything about themselves, while for female victims, they may feel that they are too old, not be a rape victim.

How could these innocent victims think that once they live in the dragon's house, they are not far from death!

In the middle of the night, when the victim is asleep, the dragon slams the victim on the head with a blunt weapon. For individual victims who did not die immediately, the dragon would stab the victim in the chest or neck with an awl. Long Zhimin also used blunt weapons to attack victims from behind while they were in the attic.

Because most of the victims were attacked in their sleep, they were often powerless to fight back, and when the attack happened, there was no one else in the house except Long Zhimin and his wife who could help the victims.

During a dragon's attack on a victim, the dragon's wife is sometimes responsible for lighting him up. When the victim dies, the dragon's wife will assist the dragon to take off their clothes and loot the money. In addition to this, before burying the body, the dragon will cut the victim's hair in order to leave it for sale.

Accomplice?

Because of the dragon's small physique (it is reported that the dragon's height is only over 1.5 meters), and the dragon's wife is paralyzed in the lower limbs, in the early stage of the investigation, the police did not accept the confession of the dragon, and they believed that the dragon's case was likely to have other accomplices.

After the police visited the street vendors in the county, the vendors confirmed to the police that they did often see dragons in Xiguan market and other places with a large floating population in the county.

Therefore, if this case is really an accomplice, the eloquent dragon is likely to act as a bait, and he will come forward to lure the victim home, and then be killed by others.

As mentioned earlier, due to the lack of mobile communication equipment in the 1980s, it was difficult for two people who were in different places to get in touch in time. Therefore, if there were accomplices in Long, they were likely to live near Long's house.

On June 2, 11985, 5 days after the incident, in order to check whether Long had any accomplices in the village, the police shut down Wang Chang and conducted investigations on every household in the village.

However, according to Wang Ying's villagers' reactions, the dragon has a withdrawn temperament.And because his house stinks, no one in the village is willing to visit his house, so he has never seen anyone in the village approaching the dragon.

After visiting and investigating, the police ruled out the speculation that Long Zhimin was complicit in the village.

Although no accomplices of the dragon were found in the village, maybe the accomplices of the dragons were from outside the village?

According to the police, in addition to Long Zhimin and his wife Yan Shuxia, the Long family also has a daughter. However, due to the poverty of the Long family, Long's daughter has been raised by her mother-in-law, who lives in Yan Village, Jinling Temple Town, Shang County, which is about 40 kilometers away according to Wang Cong.

Also live in Yan Village, along with Long's brother-in-law Yan Chongshan and his younger sister. According to Long, his sister's house and his mother-in-law are on the other side of the river.

Some of the deposit receipts found by the Long family belonged to his brother-in-law, Yan Chongshan. In the process of tracing the accomplices in Long's case, Yan Chongshan was once the key investigation figure of the police.

At the beginning of the trial, Long Zhimin explained that these certificates of deposit were stored in the name of his brother-in-law, he just found a name to save them. But soon, he changed his mind and said that this was because his sister's house lived close to his mother-in-law's house, so it was convenient for his sister to withdraw money for his daughter at her mother-in-law's house.

But Yan Chongshan's testimony overturned Long Zhimin's explanation. Yan Chongshan told the police that Long Zhimin often went to his house to eat and drink for free, ask for money, and threatened Longmei to work for him, and insulted him and Longmei, blaming them for marrying him a paralyzed man and killing him . For this reason, he and Longmei cut off contact with Longzhi's family as early as four or five years ago.

He said that when Long Zhimin came to the door for the last time, he threatened Long Zhimin, and if he dared to come again, he would break Long Zhimin's leg. After that, Long Zhimin never appeared again.

In addition, Yan Chongshan also mentioned that Long's mother-in-law also ran to his house many times, accusing him of playing a matchmaker with Longmei and hurting her daughter, and Longmei was unable to go out to work many times because of this. They also rarely interact with Long's mother-in-law, let alone take care of their niece.

Because the ID card was not yet popular in my country in 1985, and the dragon was depositing money instead of withdrawing money, the bank may not have carefully verified the identity of the dragon.

The police later took Yan Chongshan to Long Chongshan's savings house. After confirmation by the deposit receipt manager, he/she had never met Yan Chongshan.

Some readers may ask, if the money is deposited in the name of Yan Chongshan, how will Long Zhimin get the money?

My guess is, because Long is the person who goes to deposit money, he also fills in the deposit certificate information, maybe the manager can recognize him and cash it for him by checking the information and handwriting.

And even if Long can't cash in this way, he can take the risk to find Yan Chongshan, ask his brother-in-law to go to the savings bank with him, and deceive Yan Chongshan, saying that the money was originally intended for his daughter to save.

Yan Chongshan is a demobilized soldier with no previous criminal record. After several visits to Yan's house, the police ruled out Yan Chongshan's suspicion.

In addition to Yan Chongshan, the police have also investigated many people from other villages, and in the end, the suspects of these people have also been ruled out one by one.

Although the police found no other suspect accomplices in the process of tracking down the accomplices in the Long case, the information they received revealed more about Long's misdeeds.

In addition to Yan Chongshan and his wife, because Liu Qingwa helped Long Zhimin dig a hole, the police also interrogated Liu Qingwa and Liu's mother. During the interrogation, Liu's mother revealed a fact that even Liu Qingwa did not know: Long Zhimin had raped she.

According to Liu's mother, during the twelfth lunar month of last year, Long Zhimin suddenly came to her house and said that he was Liu Qingwa's friend.

At first, Mother Liu felt that Long Zhimin was glib and did not like him, but because Liu Qingwa explained that Long was a matchmaker, Mother Liu treated Long and let him eat and drink for free at home for two days.

As a result, on the second night, Long Lai stayed on the kang and had to sleep on the kang.

It is common for men, women and children in the village to sleep on the same kang. In addition, Mother Liu felt that she and the dragon were not too young, so she followed the dragon to govern the people, but in the middle of the night, the dragon raped her.

The next day, before the dragon left, he brazenly asked the Liu family for 5 yuan as a matchmaking gift. As for the matchmaking, it was naturally just an excuse used by the dragon to coax Liu Qingwa.

Long later used this excuse to trick Liu into working for him for two days.

In addition to Liu's mother, Liu Maizhen, a villager from another village in Shangxian County, was almost raped by Long. According to Liu Maizhen, she once went into the city to find her father and met Long Zhimin on the bridge leading to the county seat.

Long Zhimin fooled Liu Maizhen and asked her if she had come to the city to find her father. The simple Liu Maizhen thought that his father Tuolong had brought a message to him, and he took the initiative to tell him the reason and purpose of entering the city like pouring beans. After

, Long lied to her that her father had gone home, and then continued to lie to her, saying that he was recycling old clothes and asked her to wash his clothes for 3 yuan a day.

Hello everyone, my name is Dali Wang. The case I will introduce to you today happened in Shangxian County, Shangluo City, Shaanxi Province (now Shangzhou District, Shangluo City).

In May 1985, a shocking case broke out in Wangjian Village under Shangxian County, which even alarmed Zhongnanhai and the State Council.

After the incident, the Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department immediately dispatched Deputy Director Zhang Jingxian and senior criminal investigators to Wang Chang to direct and carry out criminal investigation work. Subsequently, the central working group also stationed in Shangxian.

According to the recollection of Wang Yan's residents at the time, in addition to the coming and going of police cars and military vehicles, about 100,000 people from other counties flocked to Wang Yan to watch the case during that time.

Two cases of disappearance

The story has to start with a disappearance case.

On May 16, 1985, Du Changying, a villager from Yemiao Village in Shangxian County, and her brother Du Changnian walked to Shangxian County to go to the market.

Because there are more than a dozen pigs at home, Du Changying brought a plastic bag filled with fertilizer before leaving, hoping to buy some bean cakes from the market to feed the pigs. In addition to

, he also brought an IOU with a face value of 1.85 yuan (equivalent to 110 yuan now). This IOU was given to him by the Shangxian Paper Mill, which had just purchased wheat straw from Du Changying not long ago.

Shangxian Paper Mill is between Yemiao Village and Shangxian Market. When the brothers of the Du family passed by the paper mill, Du Changying wanted to cash the IOU, but because Hou Yiting, the cashier of the paper mill, was not there, the brothers continued to go to Shangxian County.

10 am,The Du brothers arrived at the county seat. The two separated at Xiguan Market and made an appointment to meet again at the market at four o'clock in the afternoon. But at four o'clock in the afternoon, Du Changying did not appear.

Du Changnian waited for a while at the market. Seeing that his younger brother did not appear, he went home first. But at 10 o'clock in the evening, Du Changying still did not go home.

If this happened now, Du Changying's family must have been very worried. But in the 1980s, it was not uncommon for family members not to return home overnight without saying hello because people did not have mobile phones or landlines, nor were they popularized in every household, and there was a lack of night lighting in rural areas.

They may have met an acquaintance by chance and visited the other party's house or helped out, or they may have encountered an employer who is looking for someone to do short-term labor (such as washing clothes, harvesting crops, building walls), and they stop by each other after dark. stay at home.

Therefore, Du Changying's family was not particularly worried at first, but on the second day, Du Changying still did not go home, the third day was still the same, then the fourth day, the fifth day...

The Du family was anxious .

htmlOn May 27th, 11 days after Du Changying disappeared, Du Changnian went to the county town to look for Du Changying again, just like the previous days.

When passing by the paper factory at home, Du Changnian suddenly remembered that his younger brother had wanted to cash the IOU. Thinking of this, he hurried into the factory to find Hou Yiting to inquire about the news.

Hou Yiting told Du Changnian that someone took Du Changying's IOU just two days ago and exchanged 1.85 yuan.

According to Hou Yiting, this man is about 40 years old, very short, with a round face and big ears, he should be bald (he was wearing a cloth hat at the time), and he is articulate. He said that Du Changying owed him 20 yuan,Part of the debt was set off with this IOU.

Hou Yiting's description reminded Du Changnian of an acquaintance of Du Changying, who was named Long Zhimin and lived in Yangyuhe Township, Shangxian County.

htmlOn May 28, Du Changnian summoned another 8 people and planned to go to Wang Cong to question Long Zhimin and ask him to explain Du Changying's whereabouts.

But as soon as they walked halfway, they saw that the person approaching in the distance turned out to be Long Zhimin. And looking at the direction he's going, it's like going to the county seat.

Du Changnian asked others to focus on Long Zhimin, and he immediately returned to the paper mill to find Hou Yiting. When Long Zhimin walked past the window of the paper factory, Hou Yiting determined that he was the short man who cashed the loan. After

, Du Changnian tried to persuade Long Zhimin to go to the Public Security Bureau with them, but after the persuasion failed, Du Changnian and others controlled Long Zhimin and wanted to forcibly drag him to the Public Security Bureau.

When they passed the Xiguan long-distance bus station with heavy traffic, Long Zhimin suddenly fell to the ground and shouted loudly. He loudly asked Du Changnian what he had done wrong, accusing Du Changnian of dragging him to the police station without a legitimate reason.

Long Zhimin's uproar attracted many onlookers. When he and Du Changnian were pulling together, a dark-skinned young man was squeezed out of the crowd.

The young man told Du Changnian that other people were also looking for Long Zhimin. He told Du Changnian to look after the people first, and he immediately called them over.

It turned out that in addition to Du Changying, Long Zhimin was also implicated in another disappearance case.

On February 10, 1985, the deputy secretary of the village branch of a village in Shangguanfang Township, Shang County,Jiang Sanhe, a demobilized soldier, returned home with his three companions who went out to work together. They met Long Zhimin near the Xiguan long-distance bus station. Long Zhimin was looking for someone to dig a pig sty for his family at a cost of 5 yuan a day.

According to Jiang Sanhe's fellow villagers, they all wanted to go home early because the Chinese New Year was approaching, and Long Zhimin only had one person, so in the end only Jiang Sanhe followed him.

Since then, Jiang Sanhe has disappeared.

After responding to the police station twice but no response, Jiang Sanhe's family had to form a team to find their missing relatives.

By May 28, 1985, Jiang Sanhe's family had been looking for him for several months.

When the two relatives-seeking teams converged, they turned and sent Long Zhimin to walk for a while. After

, Long Zhimin lay down on the ground again, refusing to get up for anything. In desperation, the family tracing team could only leave part of the people to watch Long Zhimin, and sent another part to the nearest Chengguan police station to report the case.

At 7 p.m., the county public security bureau brought Long Zhimin into custody.

Three corpses

htmlIn the early morning of May 29, Wang Koucheng, the captain of the county public security bureau, arranged for Gou Buyun, a stockholder of the pre-trial stock, to go to Wang Changlong's house to check the situation.

htmlAt noon, Gou Buyun returned to the county public security bureau. He reported that the Long's house was very dark and stinky, with purple spots on the stairs that looked like bloodstains, and the ground was uneven and looked like it had been shoveled. He initially judged that the Long family was very suspicious.

In addition to this, he mentioned that when he went to investigate,Long Zhimin's wife Yan Shuxia was also at home.

Because of meningitis, Yan Shuxia was paralyzed in her lower limbs. When they went, Yan Shuxia was lying on the bed. Gou Buyun responded that she spoke intermittently, without beginning or end, and did not get any effective information from her.

At 1 p.m., Wang Koucheng, Gou Buyun and other police officers went to Wang Longlong's house to check the situation.

When the police arrived, Yan Shuxia was not at home. After searching, the village officials said that she was in a daze by a well west of Longwu.

The Dragon House is built on the slope at the entrance of the village and is an adobe house.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

(Longzhi Minjia Appearance The picture comes from the Internet)

The house faces north, with a large sloping farmland to the south. At the end of the cultivated land is the road from Shangxian County to the townships in the southwest. The distance between the two is about 30 meters, and there is nothing in the middle to block the sight.

The west side of the dragon house is covered with toilets and pigsties, surrounded by a half-person-high earth wall, and the east side is next to the neighbor's house.

In addition, there is a village road passing behind the Long's house. The village road is in the shape of a "7". One end is connected to the road, and the other end turns west at the southeast corner of the Long's house, and then branches off into the village.

When Wang Koucheng pushed open the door of Long's house, a suffocating stench hit his face.

The place where the windows of the Dragon's house should have been covered with soil embryos, the room was dim and light, and all kinds of sundries were thrown on the ground.

The internal structure of the Dragon's house is similar to that of most of the local villagers' houses. As soon as you enter the door, there is a hall, and there is a room on the left and right.On the left side of the hall is a ladder leading to the attic.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

Do you still remember the purple spots on the ladder that Gou Buyun mentioned before? After on-site inspection, the police found that such spots were scattered all over the house of the Long family.

The search lasted for about 40 minutes. Since nothing was found, the captain of the criminal police, Wang Koucheng, took the police out of the Long family, hoping to ask Yan Shuxia for questioning.

At this point, Yan Shuxia had left the well and was curled up under a persimmon tree to the west of the Dragon House. Her eyes were dull, her hair was disheveled, and she was staring indifferently in the direction of her home.

Yan Shuxia had two wooden benches by her hand. Seeing Wang Koucheng approaching, she supported the bench and moved her body towards the root of the tree, but did not respond to Wang Koucheng's question.

The inquiries were fruitless, and Wang Koucheng had to return to the Long's house again. This time, he smelled a familiar smell in the stench - the stench of corpses.

This smell led Wang Koucheng to the east room. Under a pile of wheat straw, he found two naked male bodies.

Wang Koucheng immediately stopped the search. He sent someone to block the scene, and drove back to the county seat to report his findings to Zhou Yu, director of the Public Security Bureau.

htmlAt 4:00 p.m. on May 29, Wang Koucheng returned to Long's house with more staff.

This time, he made a new discovery.

In the second round of search, when Wang Koucheng tried to fully open the gate of Long's house from outside to inside, the left door was bounced back.

It turned out that there was a haystack behind the door on the left,Hidden in the haystack are the wheels of a rack cart and a translucent fertilizer bag.

But the bag contained not fertilizer, but a female corpse.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

After the forensics confirmed that the two corpses found in the east of Long's house had died for more than 4 days and 10 days, respectively, the death time of the female body in the fertilizer bag was about 3 or 4 days.

Du and Jiang's family members identified the remains. One of the two male remains belonged to Du Changying, but the other did not belong to Jiang Sanhe.

When Wang Koucheng discovered the two bodies for the first time, he thought it was just a murder case related to the disappearance of Du and Jiang, but the facts were obviously far more complicated than he had guessed.

What kind of case is this?

Wang Chong's "Terracotta Warriors"

When the police visited Wang Chong, a piece of information caught their attention: There used to be a radish cellar at the entrance of Long's house, which has now been filled with cabbage.

Wang Koucheng called Long's wife over and asked her to explain the location of the radish cellar. When Long's wife moved to the door, the place she pointed was less than one meter away from the threshold of Long's house.

Wang Koucheng arranged for a militiaman to excavate the location that used to be the radish cellar. After a few digs, the militiaman stopped nervously. I saw a lot of corn leaves turned out from the ground, and red liquid seeped out.

Wang Koucheng immediately called for a few more people, and asked them to take the place where the corn leaves were exposed as the center of the circle. First, instead of digging down, clear the covering soil horizontally until no more corn leaves appeared below.

When mining stops, one is 3 meters long,The 2-meter-wide shallow pit was exposed to everyone's eyes, and the pit was full of corn leaves and corn stalks.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

When the cornstalks were lifted, the crowd erupted in exclamations.

There were 8 or 9 corpses in the shallow pit!

The corpses are staggered and arranged neatly in the pit. From the gap between the corpses, there is actually another layer, or more than one layer!

For a time, everyone was stunned by this nightmarish scene.

Subsequently, Wang Koucheng stopped the investigation for the third time, and the case was reported to the Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, a platoon of the Armed Police Brigade, loaded with live ammunition, rushed to Wang Chang by car to maintain order. A wireless phone was also set up at the crime scene to facilitate contact with the local public security bureau.

At 2:00 p.m. the next day, Zhang Jingxian, deputy director of the Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department, led a group of criminal investigators from the provincial department to arrive at the scene to resume criminal investigation work. After that, the central working group also stationed in Shangxian.

The corpse removal, recording and autopsy work on the burial pit at the entrance of Long's house lasted for two days and did not end until 11 am on May 31. After the criminal investigators counted, a total of 33 bodies were found in the pit.

But not all the victims of the Long Zhimin case.

Half an hour later, when the police probed around the Long's house with a metal-tipped javelin, they found a second burial pit in the Long's pigpen.

The pit is 2 meters long, 1 meter wide, and about 1.5 meters deep, with 8 bodies buried there. The arrangement of the remains is exactly the same as that of the "radish cellar" pit.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews 5th,The police found another pit 50 centimeters away from the soil wall of the Long's toilet. Only the bones were left in the pit. According to the forensic identification, there were four remains here.

So far, the police have found the remains of 48 victims, 31 males and 17 females, in Longzhi's house.

During the search of Long's home, the police found a large number of victims' belongings, including hair, watches, shoes, and clothing.

The police also found food stamps and 15 deposit receipts hidden in the Dragon House. The food stamps totaled 91.5 jin, and the deposit receipts totaled 573 yuan (equivalent to 30,000 yuan now). Several of the depositors did not write about Long Zhimin, but his brother-in-law Yan Chongshan.

After the incident, in order to facilitate the families of the victims, the Dragon Case Investigation Team set up a reception desk for identifying the remains of the Dragon Case in the courtyard of the Yangyuhe Township and Township Government, and hung up the clothes and shoes found in the Long family in the courtyard.

In addition, the police also set up a body identification section for the remains found in the "radish cellar" pit.

Through the identification of remains and relics, more than 30 of the 48 victims were identified by their families.

The modus operandi

Although Long Zhimin was controlled by the police on May 28, the investigation of the case has just begun, and there are still many questions to be answered.

For example, was the Long Zhimin case a gang crime, or was it committed by him and his wife? Why did these victims appear in the Long family? What are the modus operandi and tools used in this case? And what's the motive?

According to Long's confession, this was not an accomplice who committed the crime, he killed everyone alone.The location of the murder was his home.

Long Zhimin said that he began to commit murders in 1983. He usually chooses foreigners or migrant workers as his targets of murder in places with a large floating population, such as Xiguan long-distance bus station, county and city markets, and city gates. After that, he will deceive them to his home for various reasons (mostly deceive the other party that he has work to do).

For example, on February 10, he told Jiang Sanhe that his family needed someone to dig a pigsty and asked Jiang Sanhe to help him work.

htmlOn May 22, he lied to a young man in the county who was collecting wine bottles, asking him to follow him home when there were wine bottles in the village.

And on May 26, he lied to an elderly woman (the victim in the fertilizer bag) that he had chicks for sale at his house (when Long met the victim, she was in front of the chick stand).

At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the murder, Long Zhimin usually only tricks one person into his house at a time.

These victims usually arrive at the dragon's house in the afternoon. After that, the dragon will try various ways to delay the time and let them stay until dusk.

For the victims who are tricked into taking part-time jobs, this is relatively simple. The dragon only needs to direct them to work. For other victims, the dragon will continue to make up other reasons.

For example, when the young man who collected the waste arrived at Long's house at 6 pm, Long once "persuaded" him that it was not suitable to collect the waste at this time, because the villagers were all working in the fields while the weather was cool. He might as well wait until it is dark and the villagers go home from the fields to collect wine bottles from each household. At the same time, Long also arranged for him to build a pigpen for himself.

As for the female victim who wanted to buy chicks, Long said that it was too late today and it was too dark to see the male and female chicks.It is convenient to choose until the daytime.

Because of the lack of lighting in the countryside at night, each township has only one bus to the county seat every day. Once these victims fail to leave the magic cave (Dragon's house) before dusk, they can only stay at his house and wait until the next day. Walk.

As mentioned earlier, in the countryside in the 1980s, such things were not uncommon, and these victims often lived in the Long family unsuspecting.

In addition, for male victims, they may feel that they are strong, and the short Long Zhimin can't do anything about themselves, while for female victims, they may feel that they are too old, not be a rape victim.

How could these innocent victims think that once they live in the dragon's house, they are not far from death!

In the middle of the night, when the victim is asleep, the dragon slams the victim on the head with a blunt weapon. For individual victims who did not die immediately, the dragon would stab the victim in the chest or neck with an awl. Long Zhimin also used blunt weapons to attack victims from behind while they were in the attic.

Because most of the victims were attacked in their sleep, they were often powerless to fight back, and when the attack happened, there was no one else in the house except Long Zhimin and his wife who could help the victims.

During a dragon's attack on a victim, the dragon's wife is sometimes responsible for lighting him up. When the victim dies, the dragon's wife will assist the dragon to take off their clothes and loot the money. In addition, before burying the body, the dragon will cut the victim's hair,in order to keep selling money.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

Accomplice?

Because of the dragon's small physique (it is reported that the dragon's height is only over 1.5 meters), and the dragon's wife is paralyzed in the lower limbs, in the early stage of the investigation, the police did not accept the confession of the dragon, and they believed that the dragon's case was likely to have other accomplices.

After the police visited the street vendors in the county, the vendors confirmed to the police that they did often see dragons in Xiguan market and other places with a large floating population in the county.

Therefore, if this case is really an accomplice, the eloquent dragon is likely to act as a bait, and he will come forward to lure the victim home, and then be killed by others.

As mentioned earlier, due to the lack of mobile communication equipment in the 1980s, it was difficult for two people who were in different places to get in touch in time. Therefore, if there were accomplices in Long, they were likely to live near Long's house.

On June 2, 11985, 5 days after the incident, in order to check whether Long had any accomplices in the village, the police shut down Wang Chang and conducted investigations on every household in the village.

However, according to Wang Ying's villagers' reactions, the dragon has a withdrawn temperament. And because his house stinks, no one in the village is willing to visit his house, so he has never seen anyone in the village approaching the dragon.

After visiting and investigating, the police ruled out the speculation that Long Zhimin was complicit in the village.

Although no accomplices of the dragon were found in the village, maybe the accomplices of the dragons were from outside the village?

According to the police, in addition to Long Zhimin and his wife Yan Shuxia, the Long family also has a daughter. However, due to the poverty of the Long family, Long's daughter has been raised by her mother-in-law, who lives in Yan Village, Jinling Temple Town, Shang County.According to Wang Chang, it is about 40 kilometers away.

Also live in Yan Village, along with Long's brother-in-law Yan Chongshan and his younger sister. According to Long, his sister's house and his mother-in-law are on the other side of the river.

Some of the deposit receipts found by the Long family belonged to his brother-in-law, Yan Chongshan. In the process of tracing the accomplices in Long's case, Yan Chongshan was once the key investigation figure of the police.

At the beginning of the trial, Long Zhimin explained that these certificates of deposit were stored in the name of his brother-in-law, he just found a name to save them. But soon, he changed his mind and said that this was because his sister's house lived close to his mother-in-law's house, so it was convenient for his sister to withdraw money for his daughter at her mother-in-law's house.

But Yan Chongshan's testimony overturned Long Zhimin's explanation. Yan Chongshan told the police that Long Zhimin often went to his house to eat and drink for free, ask for money, and threatened Longmei to work for him, and insulted him and Longmei, blaming them for marrying him a paralyzed man and killing him . For this reason, he and Longmei cut off contact with Longzhi's family as early as four or five years ago.

He said that when Long Zhimin came to the door for the last time, he threatened Long Zhimin, and if he dared to come again, he would break Long Zhimin's leg. After that, Long Zhimin never appeared again.

In addition, Yan Chongshan also mentioned that Long's mother-in-law also ran to his house many times, accusing him of playing a matchmaker with Longmei and hurting her daughter, and Longmei was unable to go out to work many times because of this. They also rarely interact with Long's mother-in-law, let alone take care of their niece.

Because the ID card was not yet popular in my country in 1985, and the dragon was depositing money instead of withdrawing money, the bank may not have carefully verified the identity of the dragon.

The police later took Yan Chongshan to Long's savings house.He/she has never met Yan Chongshan.

Some readers may ask, if the money is deposited in the name of Yan Chongshan, how will Long Zhimin get the money?

My guess is, because Long is the person who goes to deposit money, he also fills in the deposit certificate information, maybe the manager can recognize him and cash it for him by checking the information and handwriting.

And even if Long can't cash in this way, he can take the risk to find Yan Chongshan, ask his brother-in-law to go to the savings bank with him, and deceive Yan Chongshan, saying that the money was originally intended for his daughter to save.

Yan Chongshan is a demobilized soldier with no previous criminal record. After several visits to Yan's house, the police ruled out Yan Chongshan's suspicion.

In addition to Yan Chongshan, the police have also investigated many people from other villages, and in the end, the suspects of these people have also been ruled out one by one.

Although the police found no other suspect accomplices in the process of tracking down the accomplices in the Long case, the information they received revealed more about Long's misdeeds.

In addition to Yan Chongshan and his wife, because Liu Qingwa helped Long Zhimin dig a hole, the police also interrogated Liu Qingwa and Liu's mother. During the interrogation, Liu's mother revealed a fact that even Liu Qingwa did not know: Long Zhimin had raped she.

According to Liu's mother, during the twelfth lunar month of last year, Long Zhimin suddenly came to her house and said that he was Liu Qingwa's friend.

At first, Mother Liu felt that Long Zhimin was glib and did not like him, but because Liu Qingwa explained that Long was a matchmaker, Mother Liu treated Long and let him eat and drink for free at home for two days.

As a result, on the second night, Long Lai did not leave on the kang,Do not sleep on the kang.

It is common for men, women and children in the village to sleep on the same kang. In addition, Mother Liu felt that she and the dragon were not too young, so she followed the dragon to govern the people, but in the middle of the night, the dragon raped her.

The next day, before the dragon left, he brazenly asked the Liu family for 5 yuan as a matchmaking gift. As for the matchmaking, it was naturally just an excuse used by the dragon to coax Liu Qingwa.

Long later used this excuse to trick Liu into working for him for two days.

In addition to Liu's mother, Liu Maizhen, a villager from another village in Shangxian County, was almost raped by Long. According to Liu Maizhen, she once went into the city to find her father and met Long Zhimin on the bridge leading to the county seat.

Long Zhimin fooled Liu Maizhen and asked her if she had come to the city to find her father. The simple Liu Maizhen thought that his father Tuolong had brought a message to him, and he took the initiative to tell him the reason and purpose of entering the city like pouring beans. After

, Long lied to her that her father had gone home, and then continued to lie to her, saying that he was recycling old clothes and asked her to wash his clothes for 3 yuan a day.

Because it was late when Liu Maizhen arrived at Long's house, she slept in the hall of Long's house.

In the middle of the night, Long tried to rape her. After Liu Maizhen refused, Long said to give her five yuan, but Liu Maizhen still refused. After

, the two started to pull together, because there were three other people working in Long's house that day. These people who slept in the attic heard the sound downstairs and warned Long, and Long stopped his behavior.

If Liu Maizhen was the only one in the Long family that night, she might have suffered an accident now. In the 1980s, when there was no mobile communication and surveillance, for Liu Maizhen's family,They must also have no clue about their daughter's disappearance.

Because of the heinous crimes of Long Zhimin and his wife, on September 20, 1985, the Shangluo District Intermediate People's Court sentenced Long Zhimin and his wife to death. On September 27, 1985, Long Zhimin and his wife were executed.

Life

Long Zhimin started his murder in 1983. In just two years, he and his wife killed at least 48 people.

Why did Long Zhimin kill? What is his motive? Before answering this question, let's take a look at his life together.

Long Zhimin was originally from the Long Bianzi Brigade of Renzhi Commune in Shangxian County.

When Long was 6 years old and his sister was 3 years old, Long's mother died and Long became the only boy in the family. Therefore, the dragon father regarded the dragon as the only hope for the succession of the lineage. He spoiled and indulged him very much. He never beat, scolded or reprimanded him. Even when he went to work in the fields, the dragon father would use a basket to carry the dragon on his back.

No matter what the dragon asks, whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, the dragon father will try his best to satisfy him.

During his reading, Long was very smart and liked to read. However, according to the "New Express" report, because of Long's age and short stature, both teachers and classmates looked down on him, and Long was often teased and bullied by his classmates.

In addition, the report also stated that due to historical reasons, reading did not bring any changes to the dragon's life, and the dragon could not use the knowledge he had learned, which made the dragon "depressed and gave up on himself."

When the dragon reaches adulthood,He idles around all day. At the same time, because Long was thin and short, and his family was very poor, no girl in the village was willing to marry him.

During the Cultural Revolution, Long once set up a temporary organization of the Red Guards, and also initiated criticism and raids. However, when a revolutionary committee was established in the village, Long himself was almost the target of criticism, and his Red Guard organization was disbanded. .

In 1974, due to the construction of a reservoir, Long moved to Wangyi Village, Yangyuhe Township. While other villagers were building new houses with the help of the residents of Wang Chang, Long often pretended to be sick and hid in the borrowed house.

(The picture of the current appearance of the dragon's house is from the Internet)

In 1974, because the people's commune movement had not yet ended, all the laborers of Wang Ying had to participate in collective labor, record work points, and distribute food according to the number of workers and population.

According to the regulations of Wang Yi's production team, each laborer needs to complete 400 work points per year, but the dragon often can't even do 100, and he often steals more for himself.

Not only that, but even the rations sent by the production team, Long Zhimin was too lazy to take them, and insisted that the production team deliver them to his house.

In addition to being lazy, Long had already committed crimes in 1977.

In 1977, a demented woman once lived in Wang Cong. Because Long was never married, He even kept the woman in the attic of his house and raped her several times within a few days. Dragon's behavior was later discovered by other villagers, and the village finally dispatched militiamen to rescue the woman.

In 1978, through the help of his sister, Long married Yan Shuxia as his wife (reports said that Yan Shuxia was the woman who had been raped by Long before). But Yan Shuxia was paralyzed because of lower limbs.Can't do farm work.

After adding one more person, the life of the Long family became more difficult, and the dragon owed the production team more than 180 yuan in rations. But Long apparently never intended to pay off the 180 yuan, although the production team repeatedly urged Long for rations. But the dragon ignored them.

In addition, after moving to Wang Chang, Long's character has become more and more withdrawn and gregarious. Slowly, he has almost cut off communication with the villagers.

In 1982, when the people's commune movement was replaced by the household contract responsibility system, Long had no more "big pot rice" to eat, and he could no longer get food and wages by pretending to be sick and mixing work points.

In 1983, Long Zhimin killed the first victim.

Motivation

From Long Zhimin's life experience, we can see that Long Zhimin grew up in extreme doting in his early years. (Wapi once wrote an article discussing the dangers of this educational model. Interested readers can poke here: the beginning of man, the nature of sex...?) Pampering, all desires of a child are considered reasonable demands, even if those desires harm the rights of others. These kids never learned how to control their desires, let alone obey the rules.

We all know that rules are essentially used to balance the rights and interests between people. Therefore, the process of learning to abide by the rules is also the process of human beings learning to respect others and accepting that others are equal individuals with themselves.

In this process, we are told that the interests of others are as important as our own, and we learn to control our own desires,Understand that the satisfaction of one's own desires should not be based on harming others.

When we internalize these rules, we also complete socialization.

Unsocialized people are scary, they don't feel that other people are equal to themselves, and naturally they don't have empathy.

These people are selfish and selfish, they have absolutely no rights in their eyes, and they can do anything to satisfy their own desires.

Long Zhimin is such a person.

Similar to the experience of many serial killers, the dragon's criminal behavior has also undergone a gradual and progressive process.

When he could live by eating "big pot rice", Long Zhimin exploited other people's labor, and when it was unsustainable, he turned to killing victims to obtain free labor.

Not only that, but by killing the victims, the dragon also obtained money, food stamps, clothes and other survival resources from them. According to Long's account, he cut the victim's hair to save money for sale.

In addition to getting money and free labor, as a repeat rapist, sexual impulse is obviously another important reason for Long Zhimin's murder.

Although the forensic autopsy report has not been made public, I speculate that the dragon is likely to have committed necrophilia.

This is because the dragon is thin and short, and when the victim resists, it is easy to make a noise, attracting the attention of the neighbors. Therefore, when Long had lustful thoughts about the victim, for convenience, I speculated that he would most likely choose to kill the victim directly.

kills the victim while preventing him from being reported by the victim,It is his means of evading criminal punishment.

In order to satisfy his distorted lust, according to Shaanxi Legal Network, Long Zhimin had lured the three men to have sex with his wife, Yan Shuxia, before killing the three victims.

In addition to money and sex, I think another incentive for the dragon's criminal behavior is revenge.

As mentioned earlier, the dragon is very smart, but his intelligence did not bring any changes to his life. Instead, he was ridiculed because of his short and thin physique, and even getting a wife was a problem. Moreover, marrying a disabled woman made him feel even more uneasy. He felt that he had suffered a loss, was ridiculed by others, and might want to take revenge on society.

This experience of being discriminated against and ridiculed may have caused Long Zhimin a lot of pain, and as a result, it made him feel great jealousy of people with normal physiques and those who are better than him in marriage and work.

At the same time, in order to defuse the shame that comes with being ridiculed, perhaps the dragon is accustomed to mentally devaluing others, and in this way devalues ​​their opinions.

This is a common way of avoiding shame when people feel attacked.

For example, when an arrogant leader feels ashamed because of the reasonable advice of his subordinates, instead of facing the shame and accepting his own faults, he/she may deny the other party in his/her mind, thinking that the other party is an employee, and one is optional. at the bottom of society, they don't know what to do.

Perhaps in the dragon's mind, he has long regarded other people as inferior creatures inferior to him. This interpretation of

is also in line with Long's so-called three-no-kill principle. According to Sohu.com's report, during Long's interrogation,He once explained to the police that he does not kill people who have contributed to society, "only the disabled, the ignorant, the foolish..." But what contribution did he make to society? What qualifications does he have to judge whether others are ignorant?

In addition to this, the dragon may have experienced a sense of superiority in the process of killing normal-sized people and dominating their lives, and this superiority may be exactly what he, who has been ridiculed, longed for.

During his sinful life, Dragon apparently never regarded others as equal, independent, and respectable individuals. In the concept of Confucian philosophy, "benevolence" is the highest principle of morality, and no benevolence is an adult, and becoming a "human being" is exactly the goal worth spending a lifetime to achieve. Long Zhimin obviously didn't do this, it was just a beast walking upright.

No matter what the dragon asks, whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, the dragon father will try his best to satisfy him.

During his reading, Long was very smart and liked to read. However, according to the "New Express" report, because of Long's age and short stature, both teachers and classmates looked down on him, and Long was often teased and bullied by his classmates.

In addition, the report also stated that due to historical reasons, reading did not bring any changes to the dragon's life, and the dragon could not use the knowledge he had learned, which made the dragon "depressed and gave up on himself."

When the dragon came of age, he was idle all day. At the same time, because Long was thin and short, and his family was very poor, no girl in the village was willing to marry him.

During the Cultural Revolution, Long once set up a temporary organization of the Red Guards, and also initiated criticism and raids. However, when a revolutionary committee was established in the village, Long himself was almost the target of criticism, and his Red Guard organization was disbanded. .

In 1974, due to the construction of a reservoir, Long moved to Wangyi Village, Yangyuhe Township. While other villagers were building new houses with the help of the residents of Wang Chang, Long often pretended to be sick and hid in the borrowed house.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

(The picture of the current appearance of the dragon's house is from the Internet)

In 1974, because the people's commune movement had not yet ended, all the laborers of Wang Ying had to participate in collective labor, record work points, and distribute food according to the number of workers and population.

According to the regulations of Wang Yi's production team, each laborer needs to complete 400 work points per year, but the dragon often can't even do 100, and he often steals more for himself.

Not only that, but even the rations sent by the production team, Long Zhimin was too lazy to take them, and insisted that the production team deliver them to his house.

In addition to being lazy, Long had already committed crimes in 1977.

In 1977, a demented woman once lived in Wang Cong. Because Long was never married, He even kept the woman in the attic of his house and raped her several times within a few days. Dragon's behavior was later discovered by other villagers, and the village finally dispatched militiamen to rescue the woman.

In 1978, through the help of his sister, Long married Yan Shuxia as his wife (reports said that Yan Shuxia was the woman who had been raped by Long before). But Yan Shuxia was unable to do farm work because of paralysis of her lower limbs.

After adding one more person, the life of the Long family became more difficult, and the dragon owed the production team more than 180 yuan in rations. But Long apparently never intended to pay off the 180 yuan, although the production team repeatedly urged Long for rations. But the dragon ignored them.

In addition, after moving to Wang Chang, Long's character has become more and more withdrawn and gregarious. Slowly, he has almost cut off communication with the villagers.

In 1982, when the people's commune movement was replaced by the household contract responsibility system, Long had no more "big pot rice" to eat, and he could no longer get food and wages by pretending to be sick and mixing work points.

In 1983, Long Zhimin killed the first victim.

Motivation

From Long Zhimin's life experience, we can see that Long Zhimin grew up in extreme doting in his early years.(Wapi once wrote an article discussing the dangers of this educational model. Interested readers can poke here: the beginning of man, the nature of sex...?) Pampering, all desires of a child are considered reasonable demands, even if those desires harm the rights of others. These kids never learned how to control their desires, let alone obey the rules.

We all know that rules are essentially used to balance the rights and interests between people. Therefore, the process of learning to abide by the rules is also the process of human beings learning to respect others and accepting that others are equal individuals with themselves.

In this process, we are told that the interests of others are as important as our own, learn to control our own desires, and understand that the satisfaction of our own desires should not be based on harming others.

When we internalize these rules, we also complete socialization.

Unsocialized people are scary, they don't feel that other people are equal to themselves, and naturally they don't have empathy.

These people are selfish and selfish, they have absolutely no rights in their eyes, and they can do anything to satisfy their own desires.

Long Zhimin is such a person.

Similar to the experience of many serial killers, the dragon's criminal behavior has also undergone a gradual and progressive process.

When he could live by eating "big pot rice", Long Zhimin exploited other people's labor, and when it was unsustainable, he turned to killing victims to obtain free labor.

Not only that, but by killing the victims, the dragon also obtained money, food stamps, clothes and other survival resources from them. According to Long's account, he cut the victim's hair to save money for sale.

In addition to getting money and free labor, as a repeat rapist, sexual impulse is obviously another important reason for Long Zhimin's murder.

Although the forensic autopsy report has not been made public, I speculate that the dragon is likely to have committed necrophilia.

This is because the dragon is thin and short, and when the victim resists, it is easy to make a noise, attracting the attention of the neighbors. Therefore, when Long had lustful thoughts about the victim, for convenience, I speculated that he would most likely choose to kill the victim directly.

Killing the victim and preventing him from being reported by the victim is a means for him to escape criminal punishment.

In order to satisfy his distorted lust, according to Shaanxi Legal Network, Long Zhimin had lured the three men to have sex with his wife, Yan Shuxia, before killing the three victims.

In addition to money and sex, I think another incentive for the dragon's criminal behavior is revenge.

As mentioned earlier, the dragon is very smart, but his intelligence did not bring any changes to his life. Instead, he was ridiculed because of his short and thin physique, and even getting a wife was a problem. Moreover, marrying a disabled woman made him feel even more uneasy. He felt that he had suffered a loss, was ridiculed by others, and might want to take revenge on society.

This experience of being discriminated against and ridiculed may have caused Long Zhimin a lot of pain, and as a result, it made him feel great jealousy of people with normal physiques and those who are better than him in marriage and work.

At the same time, in order to defuse the shame that comes with being ridiculed, perhaps the dragon is accustomed to mentally devaluing others, and in this way devalues ​​their opinions.

This is a common way of avoiding shame when people feel attacked.

For example, when an arrogant leader feels ashamed because of the reasonable advice of his subordinates, instead of facing the shame and accepting his own faults, he/she may deny the other party in his/her mind, thinking that the other party is an employee, and one is optional. at the bottom of society, they don't know what to do.

Perhaps in the dragon's mind, he has long regarded other people as inferior creatures inferior to him. This interpretation of

is also in line with Long's so-called three-no-kill principle. According to the Sohu.com History Control report, during Long's interrogation, he once explained to the police that he did not kill people who contributed to society, "only the disabled, the ignorant, the foolish... "But what does he himself contribute to society? What qualifications does he have to judge whether others are ignorant?

In addition to this, the dragon may have experienced a sense of superiority in the process of killing normal-sized people and dominating their lives, and this superiority may be exactly what he, who has been ridiculed, longed for.

During his sinful life, Dragon apparently never regarded others as equal, independent, and respectable individuals. In the concept of Confucian philosophy, "benevolence" is the highest principle of morality, and no benevolence is an adult, and becoming a "human being" is exactly the goal worth spending a lifetime to achieve. Long Zhimin obviously didn't do this, it was just a beast walking upright.

Hello everyone, my name is Dali Wang. The case I will introduce to you today happened in Shangxian County, Shangluo City, Shaanxi Province (now Shangzhou District, Shangluo City).

In May 1985, a shocking case broke out in Wangjian Village under Shangxian County, which even alarmed Zhongnanhai and the State Council.

After the incident, the Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department immediately dispatched Deputy Director Zhang Jingxian and senior criminal investigators to Wang Chang to direct and carry out criminal investigation work. Subsequently, the central working group also stationed in Shangxian.

According to the recollection of Wang Yan's residents at the time, in addition to the coming and going of police cars and military vehicles, about 100,000 people from other counties flocked to Wang Yan to watch the case during that time.

What happened to Wang Chang?

(word count: 10, 063)

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

Two cases of disappearance

The story has to start with a disappearance case.

On May 16, 1985, Du Changying, a villager from Yemiao Village in Shangxian County, and her brother Du Changnian walked to Shangxian County to go to the market.

Because there are more than a dozen pigs at home, Du Changying brought a plastic bag filled with fertilizer before leaving, hoping to buy some bean cakes from the market to feed the pigs. In addition to

, he also brought an IOU with a face value of 1.85 yuan (equivalent to 110 yuan now). This IOU was given to him by the Shangxian Paper Mill, which had just purchased wheat straw from Du Changying not long ago.

Shangxian Paper Mill is between Yemiao Village and Shangxian Market. When the brothers of the Du family passed by the paper mill, Du Changying wanted to cash the IOU, but because Hou Yiting, the cashier of the paper mill, was not there, the brothers continued to go to Shangxian County.

10 am,The Du brothers arrived at the county seat. The two separated at Xiguan Market and made an appointment to meet again at the market at four o'clock in the afternoon. But at four o'clock in the afternoon, Du Changying did not appear.

Du Changnian waited for a while at the market. Seeing that his younger brother did not appear, he went home first. But at 10 o'clock in the evening, Du Changying still did not go home.

If this happened now, Du Changying's family must have been very worried. But in the 1980s, it was not uncommon for family members not to return home overnight without saying hello because people did not have mobile phones or landlines, nor were they popularized in every household, and there was a lack of night lighting in rural areas.

They may have met an acquaintance by chance and visited the other party's house or helped out, or they may have encountered an employer who is looking for someone to do short-term labor (such as washing clothes, harvesting crops, building walls), and they stop by each other after dark. stay at home.

Therefore, Du Changying's family was not particularly worried at first, but on the second day, Du Changying still did not go home, the third day was still the same, then the fourth day, the fifth day...

The Du family was anxious .

htmlOn May 27th, 11 days after Du Changying disappeared, Du Changnian went to the county town to look for Du Changying again, just like the previous days.

When passing by the paper factory at home, Du Changnian suddenly remembered that his younger brother had wanted to cash the IOU. Thinking of this, he hurried into the factory to find Hou Yiting to inquire about the news.

Hou Yiting told Du Changnian that someone took Du Changying's IOU just two days ago and exchanged 1.85 yuan.

According to Hou Yiting, this man is about 40 years old, very short, with a round face and big ears, he should be bald (he was wearing a cloth hat at the time), and he is articulate. He said that Du Changying owed him 20 yuan,Part of the debt was set off with this IOU.

Hou Yiting's description reminded Du Changnian of an acquaintance of Du Changying, who was named Long Zhimin and lived in Yangyuhe Township, Shangxian County.

htmlOn May 28, Du Changnian summoned another 8 people and planned to go to Wang Cong to question Long Zhimin and ask him to explain Du Changying's whereabouts.

But as soon as they walked halfway, they saw that the person approaching in the distance turned out to be Long Zhimin. And looking at the direction he's going, it's like going to the county seat.

Du Changnian asked others to focus on Long Zhimin, and he immediately returned to the paper mill to find Hou Yiting. When Long Zhimin walked past the window of the paper factory, Hou Yiting determined that he was the short man who cashed the loan. After

, Du Changnian tried to persuade Long Zhimin to go to the Public Security Bureau with them, but after the persuasion failed, Du Changnian and others controlled Long Zhimin and wanted to forcibly drag him to the Public Security Bureau.

When they passed the Xiguan long-distance bus station with heavy traffic, Long Zhimin suddenly fell to the ground and shouted loudly. He loudly asked Du Changnian what he had done wrong, accusing Du Changnian of dragging him to the police station without a legitimate reason.

Long Zhimin's uproar attracted many onlookers. When he and Du Changnian were pulling together, a dark-skinned young man was squeezed out of the crowd.

The young man told Du Changnian that other people were also looking for Long Zhimin. He told Du Changnian to look after the people first, and he immediately called them over.

It turned out that in addition to Du Changying, Long Zhimin was also implicated in another disappearance case.

On February 10, 1985, the deputy secretary of the village branch of a village in Shangguanfang Township, Shang County,Jiang Sanhe, a demobilized soldier, returned home with his three companions who went out to work together. They met Long Zhimin near the Xiguan long-distance bus station. Long Zhimin was looking for someone to dig a pig sty for his family at a cost of 5 yuan a day.

According to Jiang Sanhe's fellow villagers, they all wanted to go home early because the Chinese New Year was approaching, and Long Zhimin only had one person, so in the end only Jiang Sanhe followed him.

Since then, Jiang Sanhe has disappeared.

After responding to the police station twice but no response, Jiang Sanhe's family had to form a team to find their missing relatives.

By May 28, 1985, Jiang Sanhe's family had been looking for him for several months.

When the two relatives-seeking teams converged, they turned and sent Long Zhimin to walk for a while. After

, Long Zhimin lay down on the ground again, refusing to get up for anything. In desperation, the family tracing team could only leave part of the people to watch Long Zhimin, and sent another part to the nearest Chengguan police station to report the case.

At 7 p.m., the county public security bureau brought Long Zhimin into custody.

Three corpses

htmlIn the early morning of May 29, Wang Koucheng, the captain of the county public security bureau, arranged for Gou Buyun, a stockholder of the pre-trial stock, to go to Wang Changlong's house to check the situation.

htmlAt noon, Gou Buyun returned to the county public security bureau. He reported that the Long's house was very dark and stinky, with purple spots on the stairs that looked like bloodstains, and the ground was uneven and looked like it had been shoveled. He initially judged that the Long family was very suspicious.

In addition to this, he mentioned that when he went to investigate,Long Zhimin's wife Yan Shuxia was also at home.

Because of meningitis, Yan Shuxia was paralyzed in her lower limbs. When they went, Yan Shuxia was lying on the bed. Gou Buyun responded that she spoke intermittently, without beginning or end, and did not get any effective information from her.

At 1 p.m., Wang Koucheng, Gou Buyun and other police officers went to Wang Longlong's house to check the situation.

When the police arrived, Yan Shuxia was not at home. After searching, the village officials said that she was in a daze by a well west of Longwu.

The Dragon House is built on the slope at the entrance of the village and is an adobe house.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

(Longzhi Minjia Appearance The picture comes from the Internet)

The house faces north, with a large sloping farmland to the south. At the end of the cultivated land is the road from Shangxian County to the townships in the southwest. The distance between the two is about 30 meters, and there is nothing in the middle to block the sight.

The west side of the dragon house is covered with toilets and pigsties, surrounded by a half-person-high earth wall, and the east side is next to the neighbor's house.

In addition, there is a village road passing behind the Long's house. The village road is in the shape of a "7". One end is connected to the road, and the other end turns west at the southeast corner of the Long's house, and then branches off into the village.

When Wang Koucheng pushed open the door of Long's house, a suffocating stench hit his face.

The place where the windows of the Dragon's house should have been covered with soil embryos, the room was dim and light, and all kinds of sundries were thrown on the ground.

The internal structure of the Dragon's house is similar to that of most of the local villagers' houses. As soon as you enter the door, there is a hall, and there is a room on the left and right.On the left side of the hall is a ladder leading to the attic.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

Do you still remember the purple spots on the ladder that Gou Buyun mentioned before? After on-site inspection, the police found that such spots were scattered all over the house of the Long family.

The search lasted for about 40 minutes. Since nothing was found, the captain of the criminal police, Wang Koucheng, took the police out of the Long family, hoping to ask Yan Shuxia for questioning.

At this point, Yan Shuxia had left the well and was curled up under a persimmon tree to the west of the Dragon House. Her eyes were dull, her hair was disheveled, and she was staring indifferently in the direction of her home.

Yan Shuxia had two wooden benches by her hand. Seeing Wang Koucheng approaching, she supported the bench and moved her body towards the root of the tree, but did not respond to Wang Koucheng's question.

The inquiries were fruitless, and Wang Koucheng had to return to the Long's house again. This time, he smelled a familiar smell in the stench - the stench of corpses.

This smell led Wang Koucheng to the east room. Under a pile of wheat straw, he found two naked male bodies.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

Wang Koucheng immediately stopped the search. He sent someone to block the scene, and drove back to the county seat to report his findings to Zhou Yu, director of the Public Security Bureau.

htmlAt 4:00 p.m. on May 29, Wang Koucheng returned to Long's house with more staff.

This time, he made a new discovery.

In the second round of search, when Wang Koucheng tried to fully open the gate of Long's house from outside to inside, the left door was bounced back.

It turned out that there was a haystack behind the door on the left,Hidden in the haystack are the wheels of a rack cart and a translucent fertilizer bag.

But the bag contained not fertilizer, but a female corpse.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

After the forensics confirmed that the two corpses found in the east of Long's house had died for more than 4 days and 10 days, respectively, the death time of the female body in the fertilizer bag was about 3 or 4 days.

Du and Jiang's family members identified the remains. One of the two male remains belonged to Du Changying, but the other did not belong to Jiang Sanhe.

When Wang Koucheng discovered the two bodies for the first time, he thought it was just a murder case related to the disappearance of Du and Jiang, but the facts were obviously far more complicated than he had guessed.

What kind of case is this?

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

Wang Chong's "Terracotta Warriors"

When the police visited Wang Chong, a piece of information caught their attention: There used to be a radish cellar at the entrance of Long's house, which has now been filled with cabbage.

Wang Koucheng called Long's wife over and asked her to explain the location of the radish cellar. When Long's wife moved to the door, the place she pointed was less than one meter away from the threshold of Long's house.

Wang Koucheng arranged for a militiaman to excavate the location that used to be the radish cellar. After a few digs, the militiaman stopped nervously. I saw a lot of corn leaves turned out from the ground, and red liquid seeped out.

Wang Koucheng immediately called for a few more people, and asked them to take the place where the corn leaves were exposed as the center of the circle. First, instead of digging down, clear the covering soil horizontally until no more corn leaves appeared below.

When mining stops, one is 3 meters long,The 2-meter-wide shallow pit was exposed to everyone's eyes, and the pit was full of corn leaves and corn stalks.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

When the cornstalks were lifted, the crowd erupted in exclamations.

There were 8 or 9 corpses in the shallow pit!

The corpses are staggered and arranged neatly in the pit. From the gap between the corpses, there is actually another layer, or more than one layer!

For a time, everyone was stunned by this nightmarish scene.

Subsequently, Wang Koucheng stopped the investigation for the third time, and the case was reported to the Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, a platoon of the Armed Police Brigade, loaded with live ammunition, rushed to Wang Chang by car to maintain order. A wireless phone was also set up at the crime scene to facilitate contact with the local public security bureau.

At 2:00 p.m. the next day, Zhang Jingxian, deputy director of the Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department, led a group of criminal investigators from the provincial department to arrive at the scene to resume criminal investigation work. After that, the central working group also stationed in Shangxian.

The corpse removal, recording and autopsy work on the burial pit at the entrance of Long's house lasted for two days and did not end until 11 am on May 31. After the criminal investigators counted, a total of 33 bodies were found in the pit.

But not all the victims of the Long Zhimin case.

Half an hour later, when the police probed around the Long's house with a metal-tipped javelin, they found a second burial pit in the Long's pigpen.

The pit is 2 meters long, 1 meter wide, and about 1.5 meters deep, with 8 bodies buried there. The arrangement of the remains is exactly the same as that of the "radish cellar" pit.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews 5th,The police found another pit 50 centimeters away from the soil wall of the Long's toilet. Only the bones were left in the pit. According to the forensic identification, there were four remains here.

So far, the police have found the remains of 48 victims, 31 males and 17 females, in Longzhi's house.

During the search of Long's home, the police found a large number of victims' belongings, including hair, watches, shoes, and clothing.

The police also found food stamps and 15 deposit receipts hidden in the Dragon House. The food stamps totaled 91.5 jin, and the deposit receipts totaled 573 yuan (equivalent to 30,000 yuan now). Several of the depositors did not write about Long Zhimin, but his brother-in-law Yan Chongshan.

After the incident, in order to facilitate the families of the victims, the Dragon Case Investigation Team set up a reception desk for identifying the remains of the Dragon Case in the courtyard of the Yangyuhe Township and Township Government, and hung up the clothes and shoes found in the Long family in the courtyard.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

In addition, the police also set up a body identification section for the remains found in the "radish cellar" pit.

Through the identification of remains and relics, more than 30 of the 48 victims were identified by their families.

The modus operandi

Although Long Zhimin was controlled by the police on May 28, the investigation of the case has just begun, and there are still many questions to be answered.

For example, was the Long Zhimin case a gang crime, or was it committed by him and his wife? Why did these victims appear in the Long family? What are the modus operandi and tools used in this case? And what's the motive?

According to Long's confession, this was not an accomplice who committed the crime, he killed everyone alone.The location of the murder was his home.

Long Zhimin said that he began to commit murders in 1983. He usually chooses foreigners or migrant workers as his targets of murder in places with a large floating population, such as Xiguan long-distance bus station, county and city markets, and city gates. After that, he will deceive them to his home for various reasons (mostly deceive the other party that he has work to do).

For example, on February 10, he told Jiang Sanhe that his family needed someone to dig a pigsty and asked Jiang Sanhe to help him work.

htmlOn May 22, he lied to a young man in the county who was collecting wine bottles, asking him to follow him home when there were wine bottles in the village.

And on May 26, he lied to an elderly woman (the victim in the fertilizer bag) that he had chicks for sale at his house (when Long met the victim, she was in front of the chick stand).

At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the murder, Long Zhimin usually only tricks one person into his house at a time.

These victims usually arrive at the dragon's house in the afternoon. After that, the dragon will try various ways to delay the time and let them stay until dusk.

For the victims who are tricked into taking part-time jobs, this is relatively simple. The dragon only needs to direct them to work. For other victims, the dragon will continue to make up other reasons.

For example, when the young man who collected the waste arrived at Long's house at 6 pm, Long once "persuaded" him that it was not suitable to collect the waste at this time, because the villagers were all working in the fields while the weather was cool. He might as well wait until it is dark and the villagers go home from the fields to collect wine bottles from each household. At the same time, Long also arranged for him to build a pigpen for himself.

As for the female victim who wanted to buy chicks, Long said that it was too late today and it was too dark to see the male and female chicks.It is convenient to choose until the daytime.

Because of the lack of lighting in the countryside at night, each township has only one bus to the county seat every day. Once these victims fail to leave the magic cave (Dragon's house) before dusk, they can only stay at his house and wait until the next day. Walk.

As mentioned earlier, in the countryside in the 1980s, such things were not uncommon, and these victims often lived in the Long family unsuspecting.

In addition, for male victims, they may feel that they are strong, and the short Long Zhimin can't do anything about themselves, while for female victims, they may feel that they are too old, not be a rape victim.

How could these innocent victims think that once they live in the dragon's house, they are not far from death!

In the middle of the night, when the victim is asleep, the dragon slams the victim on the head with a blunt weapon. For individual victims who did not die immediately, the dragon would stab the victim in the chest or neck with an awl. Long Zhimin also used blunt weapons to attack victims from behind while they were in the attic.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

Because most of the victims were attacked in their sleep, they were often powerless to fight back, and when the attack happened, there was no one else in the house except Long Zhimin and his wife who could help the victims.

During a dragon's attack on a victim, the dragon's wife is sometimes responsible for lighting him up. When the victim dies, the dragon's wife will assist the dragon to take off their clothes and loot the money. In addition, before burying the body, the dragon will cut the victim's hair,in order to keep selling money.

The first major criminal case in the 1980s, Long Zhimin and his wife murdered 48 people in succession - DayDayNews

Accomplice?

Because of the dragon's small physique (it is reported that the dragon's height is only over 1.5 meters), and the dragon's wife is paralyzed in the lower limbs, in the early stage of the investigation, the police did not accept the confession of the dragon, and they believed that the dragon's case was likely to have other accomplices.

After the police visited the street vendors in the county, the vendors confirmed to the police that they did often see dragons in Xiguan market and other places with a large floating population in the county.

Therefore, if this case is really an accomplice, the eloquent dragon is likely to act as a bait, and he will come forward to lure the victim home, and then be killed by others.

As mentioned earlier, due to the lack of mobile communication equipment in the 1980s, it was difficult for two people who were in different places to get in touch in time. Therefore, if there were accomplices in Long, they were likely to live near Long's house.

On June 2, 11985, 5 days after the incident, in order to check whether Long had any accomplices in the village, the police shut down Wang Chang and conducted investigations on every household in the village.

However, according to Wang Ying's villagers' reactions, the dragon has a withdrawn temperament. And because his house stinks, no one in the village is willing to visit his house, so he has never seen anyone in the village approaching the dragon.

After visiting and investigating, the police ruled out the speculation that Long Zhimin was complicit in the village.

Although no accomplices of the dragon were found in the village, maybe the accomplices of the dragons were from outside the village?

According to the police, in addition to Long Zhimin and his wife Yan Shuxia, the Long family also has a daughter. However, due to the poverty of the Long family, Long's daughter has been raised by her mother-in-law, who lives in Yan Village, Jinling Temple Town, Shang County.According to Wang Chang, it is about 40 kilometers away.

Also live in Yan Village, along with Long's brother-in-law Yan Chongshan and his younger sister. According to Long, his sister's house and his mother-in-law are on the other side of the river.

Some of the deposit receipts found by the Long family belonged to his brother-in-law, Yan Chongshan. In the process of tracing the accomplices in Long's case, Yan Chongshan was once the key investigation figure of the police.

At the beginning of the trial, Long Zhimin explained that these certificates of deposit were stored in the name of his brother-in-law, he just found a name to save them. But soon, he changed his mind and said that this was because his sister's house lived close to his mother-in-law's house, so it was convenient for his sister to withdraw money for his daughter at her mother-in-law's house.

But Yan Chongshan's testimony overturned Long Zhimin's explanation. Yan Chongshan told the police that Long Zhimin often went to his house to eat and drink for free, ask for money, and threatened Longmei to work for him, and insulted him and Longmei, blaming them for marrying him a paralyzed man and killing him . For this reason, he and Longmei cut off contact with Longzhi's family as early as four or five years ago.

He said that when Long Zhimin came to the door for the last time, he threatened Long Zhimin, and if he dared to come again, he would break Long Zhimin's leg. After that, Long Zhimin never appeared again.

In addition, Yan Chongshan also mentioned that Long's mother-in-law also ran to his house many times, accusing him of playing a matchmaker with Longmei and hurting her daughter, and Longmei was unable to go out to work many times because of this. They also rarely interact with Long's mother-in-law, let alone take care of their niece.

Because the ID card was not yet popular in my country in 1985, and the dragon was depositing money instead of withdrawing money, the bank may not have carefully verified the identity of the dragon.

The police later took Yan Chongshan to Long's savings house.He/she has never met Yan Chongshan.

Some readers may ask, if the money is deposited in the name of Yan Chongshan, how will Long Zhimin get the money?

My guess is, because Long is the person who goes to deposit money, he also fills in the deposit certificate information, maybe the manager can recognize him and cash it for him by checking the information and handwriting.

And even if Long can't cash in this way, he can take the risk to find Yan Chongshan, ask his brother-in-law to go to the savings bank with him, and deceive Yan Chongshan, saying that the money was originally intended for his daughter to save.

Yan Chongshan is a demobilized soldier with no previous criminal record. After several visits to Yan's house, the police ruled out Yan Chongshan's suspicion.

In addition to Yan Chongshan, the police have also investigated many people from other villages, and in the end, the suspects of these people have also been ruled out one by one.

Although the police found no other suspect accomplices in the process of tracking down the accomplices in the Long case, the information they received revealed more about Long's misdeeds.

In addition to Yan Chongshan and his wife, because Liu Qingwa helped Long Zhimin dig a hole, the police also interrogated Liu Qingwa and Liu's mother. During the interrogation, Liu's mother revealed a fact that even Liu Qingwa did not know: Long Zhimin had raped she.

According to Liu's mother, during the twelfth lunar month of last year, Long Zhimin suddenly came to her house and said that he was Liu Qingwa's friend.

At first, Mother Liu felt that Long Zhimin was glib and did not like him, but because Liu Qingwa explained that Long was a matchmaker, Mother Liu treated Long and let him eat and drink for free at home for two days.

As a result, on the second night, Long Lai did not leave on the kang,Do not sleep on the kang.

It is common for men, women and children in the village to sleep on the same kang. In addition, Mother Liu felt that she and the dragon were not too young, so she followed the dragon to govern the people, but in the middle of the night, the dragon raped her.

The next day, before the dragon left, he brazenly asked the Liu family for 5 yuan as a matchmaking gift. As for the matchmaking, it was naturally just an excuse used by the dragon to coax Liu Qingwa.

Long later used this excuse to trick Liu into working for him for two days.

In addition to Liu's mother, Liu Maizhen, a villager from another village in Shangxian County, was almost raped by Long. According to Liu Maizhen, she once went into the city to find her father and met Long Zhimin on the bridge leading to the county seat.

Long Zhimin fooled Liu Maizhen and asked her if she had come to the city to find her father. The simple Liu Maizhen thought that his father Tuolong had brought a message to him, and he took the initiative to tell him the reason and purpose of entering the city like pouring beans. After

, Long lied to her that her father had gone home, and then continued to lie to her, saying that he was recycling old clothes and asked her to wash his clothes for 3 yuan a day.

Because it was late when Liu Maizhen arrived at Long's house, she slept in the hall of Long's house.

In the middle of the night, Long tried to rape her. After Liu Maizhen refused, Long said to give her five yuan, but Liu Maizhen still refused. After

, the two started to pull together, because there were three other people working in Long's house that day. These people who slept in the attic heard the sound downstairs and warned Long, and Long stopped his behavior.

If Liu Maizhen was the only one in the Long family that night, she might have suffered an accident now. In the 1980s, when there was no mobile communication and surveillance, for Liu Maizhen's family,They must also have no clue about their daughter's disappearance.

Because of the heinous crimes of Long Zhimin and his wife, on September 20, 1985, the Shangluo District Intermediate People's Court sentenced Long Zhimin and his wife to death. On September 27, 1985, Long Zhimin and his wife were executed.

Life

Long Zhimin started his murder in 1983. In just two years, he and his wife killed at least 48 people.

Why did Long Zhimin kill? What is his motive? Before answering this question, let's take a look at his life together.

Long Zhimin was originally from the Long Bianzi Brigade of Renzhi Commune in Shangxian County.

When Long was 6 years old and his sister was 3 years old, Long's mother died and Long became the only boy in the family. Therefore, the dragon father regarded the dragon as the only hope for the succession of the lineage. He spoiled and indulged him very much. He never beat, scolded or reprimanded him. Even when he went to work in the fields, the dragon father would use a basket to carry the dragon on his back.

No matter what the dragon asks, whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, the dragon father will try his best to satisfy him.

During his reading, Long was very smart and liked to read. However, according to the "New Express" report, because of Long's age and short stature, both teachers and classmates looked down on him, and Long was often teased and bullied by his classmates.

In addition, the report also stated that due to historical reasons, reading did not bring any changes to the dragon's life, and the dragon could not use the knowledge he had learned, which made the dragon "depressed and gave up on himself."

When the dragon reaches adulthood,He idles around all day. At the same time, because Long was thin and short, and his family was very poor, no girl in the village was willing to marry him.

During the Cultural Revolution, Long once set up a temporary organization of the Red Guards, and also initiated criticism and raids. However, when a revolutionary committee was established in the village, Long himself was almost the target of criticism, and his Red Guard organization was disbanded. .

In 1974, due to the construction of a reservoir, Long moved to Wangyi Village, Yangyuhe Township. While other villagers were building new houses with the help of the residents of Wang Chang, Long often pretended to be sick and hid in the borrowed house.

(The picture of the current appearance of the dragon's house is from the Internet)

In 1974, because the people's commune movement had not yet ended, all the laborers of Wang Ying had to participate in collective labor, record work points, and distribute food according to the number of workers and population.

According to the regulations of Wang Yi's production team, each laborer needs to complete 400 work points per year, but the dragon often can't even do 100, and he often steals more for himself.

Not only that, but even the rations sent by the production team, Long Zhimin was too lazy to take them, and insisted that the production team deliver them to his house.

In addition to being lazy, Long had already committed crimes in 1977.

In 1977, a demented woman once lived in Wang Cong. Because Long was never married, He even kept the woman in the attic of his house and raped her several times within a few days. Dragon's behavior was later discovered by other villagers, and the village finally dispatched militiamen to rescue the woman.

In 1978, through the help of his sister, Long married Yan Shuxia as his wife (reports said that Yan Shuxia was the woman who had been raped by Long before). But Yan Shuxia was paralyzed because of lower limbs.Can't do farm work.

After adding one more person, the life of the Long family became more difficult, and the dragon owed the production team more than 180 yuan in rations. But Long apparently never intended to pay off the 180 yuan, although the production team repeatedly urged Long for rations. But the dragon ignored them.

In addition, after moving to Wang Chang, Long's character has become more and more withdrawn and gregarious. Slowly, he has almost cut off communication with the villagers.

In 1982, when the people's commune movement was replaced by the household contract responsibility system, Long had no more "big pot rice" to eat, and he could no longer get food and wages by pretending to be sick and mixing work points.

In 1983, Long Zhimin killed the first victim.

Motivation

From Long Zhimin's life experience, we can see that Long Zhimin grew up in extreme doting in his early years. (Wapi once wrote an article discussing the dangers of this educational model. Interested readers can poke here: the beginning of man, the nature of sex...?) Pampering, all desires of a child are considered reasonable demands, even if those desires harm the rights of others. These kids never learned how to control their desires, let alone obey the rules.

We all know that rules are essentially used to balance the rights and interests between people. Therefore, the process of learning to abide by the rules is also the process of human beings learning to respect others and accepting that others are equal individuals with themselves.

In this process, we are told that the interests of others are as important as our own, and we learn to control our own desires,Understand that the satisfaction of one's own desires should not be based on harming others.

When we internalize these rules, we also complete socialization.

Unsocialized people are scary, they don't feel that other people are equal to themselves, and naturally they don't have empathy.

These people are selfish and selfish, they have absolutely no rights in their eyes, and they can do anything to satisfy their own desires.

Long Zhimin is such a person.

Similar to the experience of many serial killers, the dragon's criminal behavior has also undergone a gradual and progressive process.

When he could live by eating "big pot rice", Long Zhimin exploited other people's labor, and when it was unsustainable, he turned to killing victims to obtain free labor.

Not only that, but by killing the victims, the dragon also obtained money, food stamps, clothes and other survival resources from them. According to Long's account, he cut the victim's hair to save money for sale.

In addition to getting money and free labor, as a repeat rapist, sexual impulse is obviously another important reason for Long Zhimin's murder.

Although the forensic autopsy report has not been made public, I speculate that the dragon is likely to have committed necrophilia.

This is because the dragon is thin and short, and when the victim resists, it is easy to make a noise, attracting the attention of the neighbors. Therefore, when Long had lustful thoughts about the victim, for convenience, I speculated that he would most likely choose to kill the victim directly.

kills the victim while preventing him from being reported by the victim,It is his means of evading criminal punishment.

In order to satisfy his distorted lust, according to Shaanxi Legal Network, Long Zhimin had lured the three men to have sex with his wife, Yan Shuxia, before killing the three victims.

In addition to money and sex, I think another incentive for the dragon's criminal behavior is revenge.

As mentioned earlier, the dragon is very smart, but his intelligence did not bring any changes to his life. Instead, he was ridiculed because of his short and thin physique, and even getting a wife was a problem. Moreover, marrying a disabled woman made him feel even more uneasy. He felt that he had suffered a loss, was ridiculed by others, and might want to take revenge on society.

This experience of being discriminated against and ridiculed may have caused Long Zhimin a lot of pain, and as a result, it made him feel great jealousy of people with normal physiques and those who are better than him in marriage and work.

At the same time, in order to defuse the shame that comes with being ridiculed, perhaps the dragon is accustomed to mentally devaluing others, and in this way devalues ​​their opinions.

This is a common way of avoiding shame when people feel attacked.

For example, when an arrogant leader feels ashamed because of the reasonable advice of his subordinates, instead of facing the shame and accepting his own faults, he/she may deny the other party in his/her mind, thinking that the other party is an employee, and one is optional. at the bottom of society, they don't know what to do.

Perhaps in the dragon's mind, he has long regarded other people as inferior creatures inferior to him. This interpretation of

is also in line with Long's so-called three-no-kill principle. According to Sohu.com's report, during Long's interrogation,He once explained to the police that he does not kill people who have contributed to society, "only the disabled, the ignorant, the foolish..." But what contribution did he make to society? What qualifications does he have to judge whether others are ignorant?

In addition to this, the dragon may have experienced a sense of superiority in the process of killing normal-sized people and dominating their lives, and this superiority may be exactly what he, who has been ridiculed, longed for.

During his sinful life, Dragon apparently never regarded others as equal, independent, and respectable individuals. In the concept of Confucian philosophy, "benevolence" is the highest principle of morality, and no benevolence is an adult, and becoming a "human being" is exactly the goal worth spending a lifetime to achieve. Long Zhimin obviously didn't do this, it was just a beast walking upright.
