tell a story. This major case nearly twenty years ago was also the most sensational "family massacre" at the beginning of this century. The male protagonist and victim of this story, which encapsulates all the uneasiness and danger that accompanied the rise of China's private wealth, is Zhou Yinan, the former vice chairman of the board of directors and operating director of Phoenix Satellite TV in Hong Kong. He worked in the advertising department of CCTV in 1996. Investing in Phoenix TV as a shareholder of Huaying International Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Central Television, is a representative of the opportunity to seize wealth under the two systems.
Shenzhen Yuelai Teahouse is the physical and spiritual space where this story takes place. Complex deep-drifting crowds gather here, where information and temptation also intersect. After it closed, everyone who passed by this place from a distance wanted to see through its closed door while taking into account the road conditions. On June 1, 2004, four people related to the teahouse were taken away as suspects.
It was in Shenzhen Trust Garden Community, a hundred meters away from the tea house, that a murder occurred. One of the deceased was a regular customer of the teahouse and her family. In order to reduce the scary atmosphere brought by the murder to the community, the property management board sealed the door of the deceased's house with a white board to make it look like a white wall.
One day later, three of the people related to the teahouse returned home, and another person named Wu Yuancui was detained on serious suspicion. She was a close poker friend of the deceased, and had two unknown identities in private: mistress and madam. She came to Shenzhen a year ago, and had drifted in Guangzhou and Dongguan before. Before that, she came from Wufeng, Hubei Province at the age of 17. She came out to work in a small village in the Tujia Autonomous County. She once innocently wanted to make a name for herself by working hard, but she didn't study well, didn't get a junior high school diploma, and didn't have any skills. The reality quickly shattered her dream of making money.
As soon as Wu Yuancui experienced some pain, he quickly turned to a more convenient way of survival: dependence. In 1997, Hong Kong returned to . At this time point, the "glorious" bottom class of society was the spectacular and unique sight of Hong Kong people raising "second wives" in Shenzhen. The number and income of "second wives" increased in 1997. At its peak before the storm, each person could earn between 3,000 and 10,000 Hong Kong dollars per month. Compared with working hard and earning less than a few hundred yuan a month, Wu Yuancui chose to live on "good wood". She believed that the former was the life she should have.

has become a new Cantonese. Wu Yuancui only needs to complete two things in his life: to please the Hong Kong people next to him, and then go for entertainment. But Wu Yuancui has never been the lucky one. She stepped into this industry, but she did not have the prerequisites to be fair and beautiful. The sponsors around her left one after another as if they were just watching flowers. When
is on break, she likes to play cards at Yuelai Tea House. As the acting manager of the teahouse is a woman, many rich ladies from the neighborhood have gathered here and they feel comfortable treating this place as their own leisure club.
This was one of the things Wu Yuancui enjoyed the most, but the people playing cards with her added another obstacle to her. Here she met another woman: Xiang Yongjin who got the ideal script of life. The two have the same background and the same experience, but Xiang's luck is that she has a look that has attracted the attention of the villagers since she was a child. She entered this industry and successfully landed in this muddy water early and married a rich man. , and a 4-year-old daughter.
According to the memories of the teahouse staff, Xiang Yongjin likes to publicize in front of poker friends what delicious food her husband has bought in recent days, what profitable investments he has made, and how much money he has earned. Wu Yuancui never mentioned anything happy. She didn't even get a house. As she got older and her beauty declined, she often showed a sense of helplessness.
Wu Yuancui once said to a poker player, "Find a rich man and you will have someone to rely on for the rest of your life."Later, she saw with her own eyes that Xiang Yongjin's husband loved Xiang and his daughter very much, and they all said with envy that Xiang had found such a good supporter.
In Wu Yuancui's eyes, one could see Xiang Yongjin's enviable luck. , On the one hand, she will once again face the escape of her "lover". The Hong Kong boyfriend who kept her didn't think she was good-looking, and he didn't want to pay her for several months.
Wu Yuancui was very angry. Exploded, her heart was full of unwillingness, and she thought about finding someone to deal with him and give him another blow. She thought of one person, her cousin's colleague, Luo Jun, who was also a rich man because of his squandering. Sales money, came to Shenzhen to avoid the limelight.
After Wu Yuancui told Luo Jun his idea, the two hit it off, but the trouble came from the Hong Kong man. He had been wary of Wu Yuancui for a long time, and saw through that she was "unscrupulous in making money, and she has a little heart." "Black", they never found a chance to start. Luo Jun, who was a little impatient, asked Wu Yuancui if he knew anyone who still had money. "Instead of waiting, it is better to find a rich family to rob."
Wu Yuancui immediately said that one of her names was Xiang Yongjin's poker friend's family is rich.
Xiang Yongjin has never had any grudge against Wu Yuancui who showed his friendship in front of her, and he has invited her to his home to play cards many times. In early May 2004, she affectionately called Wu Yuancui "Auntie Xiaocui". During another game, a poker player left first. When the game was getting exciting, Wu Yuancui said she could find someone, and then the game was solved. Luo Jun called and asked him to come to "fight the landlords". Luo Jun said that he had no money, and Wu Yuancui said that he would come if he lent him money.
A fight with the landlords brought everyone together. It was the first time the three of them met. , the cards were played from 8 pm to early morning. When leaving, Luo Jun looked back at Xiang's house and saw that there was no protective net on the first floor. The matter was settled the next day. The life patterns of the "good sisters" family, Luo Jun continued to take advantage of the opportunity to play cards to visit the Xiang family.
These two people, who were eyeing each other, bumped into Xiang Yong, the head of the Xiang family, several times. Mr. Huang seemed loyal and reserved, and he didn't interact with them too much.
Luo Jun couldn't see how rich he and this family could be, and he felt a little discouraged. Later, after playing cards for another two weeks, Luo Jun felt a little discouraged. He didn't want to do it anymore and went back to his hometown in Zhuzhou, Hunan. A few days later, he received a call from Wu Yuancui, saying that he would come back soon if there was a suitable time to commit the crime.
Luo Jung just bought 4 knives in Zhuzhou and planned to snatch them with his fellow villager Zhang Tao. After receiving the call on May 23, the fellow from the same country who was more ruthless than Luo Jun contacted two other accomplices, Zheng An and Hu Gang, with 4 knives. Heading straight to home.

According to the plan, Wu Yuancui was responsible for informing Xiang's family, and Luo Jun was responsible for opening the door to Xiang's home to let others in. On the day of the crime on June 26, the two exchanged more than a dozen phone calls. The final timing was decided: wait until Xiang Yongjin and the child went to the hospital, her husband went out to work, and only the nanny was left at home.
Wu Yuancui gave Xiang's phone number to Luo Jun and asked him to trick the nanny into pretending to be Xiang's friend and deliver things to the house.
Xiang's nanny was only 16 years old and still a minor. She let Luo Jun and Zhang Tao into the house without warning. "After we went in, the nanny poured us water." Luo Jun said. Zhang Tao, who was standing behind the two of them, took out a knife and pressed it against the nanny's neck. He sealed her mouth with sealing tape, tied her hands and feet, and told her to find It's her boss, it's none of her business. The door was wide open, Luo Jun's mission was completed, Zheng An and Hu Gang replaced him, and the home court was handed over to Zhang Tao.
It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Luo Jun was standing at the gate of the community to have fun, while Zhang Tao was waiting in the house for Xiang's family to come back. While waiting, Zhang Tao felt bored and lay on Xiang's sofa and watched TV for more than two hours. The first people waiting were Xiang Yongjin and her daughter, and after dark for about half an hour, Xiang's husband, Mr. Huang, was waiting.
Zhang Tao and the others hid in a small cabinet. After they came in and put down their backpacks, they rushed to subdue them with knives. The couple showed little resistance and were very obedient. The tied up Mr. Huang wanted to talk to them, but Zhang Tao quickly silenced him.
At about 7 p.m., Hu Gang and Zheng An began to search Xiang's family members. They found several mobile phones and bank cards, and found RMB 3,800, which they split. Zheng An took another 620 Hong Kong dollars from Huang's body. At 9 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Tao called Luo Jun to pick up his bank cards and gave him a China Bank card, two China Construction Bank cards and a passbook. Luo Jun then went to a nearby Agricultural Bank of China ATM and withdrew 5,000 yuan using Xiang Yongjin's card.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Dang Zhenjiang, the last person living in Xiang's house, came back. Dang is the accountant of Zhou Yinan's company in Shenzhen. Zhang Tao and Zheng An came forward again with knives to tie them up in the same way. But this time, the two met with resistance. They knocked Dang to the ground, kicked him hard with their feet "without thinking about anything", and hit him on the back of the neck with the hammer at the scene. The old accountant Dang Zhenjiang soon became exhausted and fell to the ground due to his age.
After everyone in the Xiang family was under control, Zhang Tao called Luo Jun again and handed him two newly found bank cards in the bedroom. Luo Jun went back and forth to withdraw money again. When he checked at the Bank of China ATM on Guiyuan Road, he learned that one of the cards named "Monday Man" had a deposit of more than 6 million yuan.
Monday Man is actually Mr. Huang who was tied to the ground. He was extremely cautious when traveling between mainland China and Hong Kong, so he even spoke to his mistress under his pseudonym.
In fact, Monday Man could indeed be called a wealthy man of that era. In Shenzhen alone, he owns 4 properties including Trust Garden, one Mercedes-Benz and one BMW, an advertising company with a registered capital of 2 million yuan, and a total asset valuation of more than 30 million yuan.
Who would have known that the mistress he was keeping would cause all his careful "security" to completely collapse. Xiang Yongjin inadvertently became a "bridge" between two classes that would never have intersected.
Desperados like Luo Jun and Zhang Tao broke into another world, a prosperous world.
When Luo Jun excitedly called Zhang Tao to tell Zhang Tao the amount on the card, Zhang Tao gave him bad news: the old man named Dang was lying on the ground motionless, and his body was already cold. Considering that the nanny knew Luo Jun, they discussed what to do next on the phone.
In the end, Zhang Tao decided to silence everyone and kill everyone, because "there is nothing we can do, one person has already died." Luo Jun acquiesced.

Things slipped in a direction beyond everyone's control, and a massacre began.
Zhang Tao divided the work indoors. He and Zheng An were responsible for Yiyi Nan and the nanny, and Hu Gang was responsible for Xiang Yongjin. In the subsequent trial, both of them, except Zhang Tao, defended their actions in various ways.
Zheng An said that he saw Mr. Yiyi falling to the ground with a very painful expression. In order to reduce his pain, he stabbed him twice in the neck. Hu Gang said, "They asked me to kill the nanny, but I didn't do it. They asked me to kill the child, but I said I couldn't do it. I didn't want to kill anyone. When I killed Xiang Yongjin, I wanted her to pretend to be dead because I was afraid that I would kill her. After being silenced by Zhang Tao, he strangled Xiang's neck with a piece of cloth. Later, after reading reports on the Internet, I found out that Xiang was strangled to death by himself. "
Xiang's family members were killed one by one, and in the end, only the 4-year-old Xiang was left. The youngest daughter. Before this premeditation began, the five evil people had an open discussion about what to do with the child if it came to this point. Luo Jun has a 13-year-old daughter, so he said not to do anything to other people's daughters. "Daughters should not be killed." Wu Yuancui also agreed because she also has a little daughter.
But Zhang Tao said: "I have killed several people and only the little girl is left in the end. I can't bear it. But if others don't do it, I am the only one who does it." The reality is that Zhang Tao took several long strips of cloth. , wrapped around Xiang's daughter's neck like a snake, strangling the little girl in her sleep.
More than 6 million are theirs.
A day later, they bought gold bars, diamond rings, cameras and other valuables in several large shopping malls in Shenzhen, spending 630,000 yuan in one day. Wu Yuancui also joined the shopping spree. After consumption, the card was handed over to Zhang Tao for safekeeping. He withdrew 7,000 yuan through an automatic teller machine on May 28 and 29, 2004. Others were also allocated thousands of yuan.
After that, the five evil people fled in all directions.Wu Yuancui fled to Dongguan, during which time he went to a pawn shop to pawn stolen goods, but failed for some reason. Based on the on-site investigation and personnel investigation, the police quickly identified Wu Yuancui. She became the first person to be arrested and quickly confessed to all the perpetrators. Based on the location of their mobile phones, the police arrested Zhang Tao and Luo Jun in a guest house in Yichang, Hubei Province, who were planning to return to their hometown together before absconding. They also arrested Zheng An in Changsha, Hunan Province. Hu Gang, who ran the farthest, felt that it was not safe here after escaping to Beijing, so he got on the train bound for Hohhot. When passing by Zhangjiakou Station in Hebei Province, he felt very upset, so he got off the train and walked out of the train station. Later, he was arrested by the police Arrested and brought to justice. All five criminals were arrested within 30 hours.
The massacre of the family did not end there.
The huge property left by Yi Yinan triggered a new round of competition. The BMW that Xiang Yongjin drove before his death was first driven away by Yiyi Nan's first wife. Mrs. Zhou said that as the joint property of Mr. Yiyi and her, there is no issue whether Xiang Yongjin’s family should divide it or not, because these properties have nothing to do with Xiang Yongjin.
As Zhou's "second wife", Xiang Yongjin still has the right to inherit according to the law, although their marriage certificate was fabricated by Zhou. Xiang's 4-year-old daughter is the child she had with her ex-husband. Mr. Yiyi understands the situation and is willing to accept her, so there is also an inheritance relationship.
Considering the actual situation, Xiang Yongjin and his daughter’s property will be inherited by Xiang’s 70-year-old father as the first heir. Later, Xiang Yongjin's ex-husband jumped out again and took Xiang's father to court to fight for the inheritance. In March of that year, Xiang's father was unfortunately killed in a car accident on the way to appear in court to answer a lawsuit. Xiang's other three children continued to compete as the new heirs...
The last memory left to the world of this wealthy family tragedy was money. misfortunes and disasters.
Xiang Yongjin’s old father burst into tears when faced with everything that was shattered. He called his daughter many times to tell her not to play mahjong, but she just didn’t listen.
