May 23, 1996, and it is more than a year before Hong Kong returns.
At 6 pm, a black high-end RV quietly drove out of the office building in Central Hong Kong Island and drove to the apartment on Shouchen Mountain Road.
When driving to the remote section of No. 80 Deepwater Bay Road, an unknown vehicle suddenly appeared to overtake and the RV was forcibly forced to stop.
Then several cars attacked from the front and back, completely surrounding them ▼

Seven criminals holding weapons such as AK47, miniature submachine guns, grenades, etc. jumped out of the car.
They slapped the car door and fired twice at the RV.
The driver was forced to open the car door, and the young man in the back seat was dragged out of the car by the kidnappers and forced to leave.
Then, the kidnappers hid the young man in Heshu Village, located in the north district of New Territories, Hong Kong, and imprisoned in an abandoned chicken farm▼
killer even took off his clothes and left only a pair of underwear to prevent escape▼

This famous scene has been restored in at least 9 film and television works.
The young man who was hijacked was named Li Zeju .
He is the eldest son of Hong Kong's richest man, Li Ka-shing, and the heir of Cheung Kong Group.
His ransom was 1.038 billion cash ▼
Regarding this high ransom kidnapping case, Li Ka-shing's family was surprisingly silent.
It was not until Zhang Ziqiang was arrested by the mainland police that the public was extremely shocked: it turned out that there was such a "shocking case" ▼
Kidnapped: Hong Kong wealthy family that was stirred up the storm
Hong Kong has four wealthy families: Li Ka-shing, Cheng Yu-tung , Li Ka-ki , Guo Desheng .
In the last century, they were the founders of four major families that could control half of the Hong Kong economy ▼
Among them, Li Zeju, the son of the richest man Li Ka-shing, and the second richest man Guo Bingxiang , were both kidnapped by Zhang Ziqiang ▼
Guo Bingxiang was kidnapped, and refused to cooperate with him with a strong attitude.
Guo's two younger brothers had their own ulterior motives and did not actively rescue them. They also tried to bargain for 2 billion ransoms to 4 million▼
Zhang Ziqiang's gang was so angry that he locked Guo Bingxiang in a wooden box of for six days and six nights, and all the food, drink and excretion were all inside, leaving only one air outlet ▼
Finally, Guo's wife Li Tianying barely collected 600 million ransoms to save her husband▼
Finally, Guo's wife Li Tianying barely collected 600 million ransoms to save her husband▼
Before this, Guo's brothers even said:
"Even if something happened to Guo Bingxiang, Sun Hung Kai Properties will still be stable and will not affect its investment business in the mainland."
This kidnapping case triggered an infighting among the brothers of the Guo Bingxiang family, which made Guo Bingxiang suffer from depression, was depressed throughout his life, and even became an abandoned son of a wealthy family ▼
Later, Zhang Ziqiang, whose appetite was getting bigger and bigger, tried to kidnap the second-person Chen Fang Ansheng, the Hong Kong government.
also threw a firebomb at the house of Macau gambling king Stanley Ho , but failed ▼
Zhang Ziqiang is very good at grasping the opportunity to commit a crime.
1. The kidnapping of Li Zeju happened on the eve of 97, just when the British government was handed over and the management was lax.
2. The kidnapping case of Guo Bingxiang occurred when an unprecedented financial crisis broke out in Asia. . The Hong Kong government is struggling to fight against Soros' financial war to destroy the Hong Kong dollar ▼
. The two giant families did not call the police because of some subtle self-protection mentality.
Considering the psychological shadow of Li and Guo families, Wang Jing only mentioned the case of Li and Guo families in " Chasing Dragon 2" at the beginning of the film, focusing on describing the story of Mr. He (Stanley Ho) ▼
indeed has a personal personal caretaker who almost became the "five wives" - Zheng Yongshi ▼
also has similarities with the gambling king when he was young▼
Fatty Wang is really brave.
Sarcastic: Hong Kong's "Anti-American Legal System" saved the lives of the bandits
When sorting out Zhang Ziqiang's information, I always had a question:
- He has committed so many cases, why don't he have to go to jail?
1996-1997, two "shocking cases" planned by Zhang Ziqiang, with a total amount of up to 1.6 billion.
He personally earned more than 800 million yuan, and the amount involved directly rushed into the Guinness Record ▼

Before this, he also robbed Kaide Airport armored armored van , and the amount involved was .16 billion Hong Kong dollars .
According to the investigation by the Hong Kong police, the "Big Rich" criminal group has cleaned up more than HK$500 million of stolen money by purchasing the industry.
He has more than four valuable properties and villas in Hong Kong.
in Kowloon Tong is worth 40 million yuan, and there are nearly 10 million yuan in fixed assets in the mainland ▼
Many people tell Zhang Ziqiang's story and will emphasize his "fierceness" and "richness".
In fact, his life-saving ability is actually "taking advantage of the loopholes in the law."
He has been rampant in Hong Kong for seven years, squandering money in Macau casinos, losing 20 million overnight and 40 million the next day.
He was burdened with a lot of major cases, but he moved forward and retreated freely in court, and walked out of the court with a guilty body.
——Why?
Zhang Ziqiang has never studied much and has been a regular visitor to the police station since he was 12 years old.
However, he studied the "marine law system" implemented in Hong Kong in detail, that is, "Anti-American legal system"
Hong Kong was once a British colony. After returning, under the "one country, two systems" system, its legal system continued the original "Anti-American legal system" ▼
Picture source: Wang Ruien
The characteristics of "Anti-American legal system" are: presumption of innocence, no guilt is left.
Simply put: it is better to put ten people incorrectly than to wrongly accuse one person.
The "continental legal system" implemented in China is based on the code, while the "Anti-American legal system" focuses on precepts. It recognizes that precepts outside the "code" are the source of the law▼
In my country, the effect of court precepts will not be greater than judicial interpretations.
However, under the "Anti-American legal system", judges can be more flexible when judging cases, not only can interpret the law, but also can create the law.
At the same time, we must strictly implement the old tradition of "procedural justice".
This brings a problem
- Hong Kong courts are very easily restrained by public opinion pressure and lawsuits ▼
Zhang Ziqiang is good at hiding his own traces during the crime process and rarely leaves evidence.
also takes advantage of the legal drawbacks of the Anglo-American legal system to use it as a talisman.
He used his huge amount of money to recruit a famous lawyer team, and established his own interpersonal circle in the Hong Kong underworld, police station, courts, and even the media.
While studying legal loopholes, it also uses public opinion offensives to maximize the ills of Hong Kong's judicial system.
- This is the true face hidden under the halo of "Century Bandits" ▼
Game: The robbery of the armored vehicle and the theory of "Poison Tree Fruit"
Hong Kong judicial circle is simply hating Zhang Ziqiang for this person.
not only because he is a "bandit" who commits crimes, but also because of a case that caused the Hong Kong legal system to suffer "super shame and humiliation" ▼
Eighteen years ago, Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong.
Three Chinese men in their thirties robbed the armored car of a security company with guns and robbed cash worth 170 million Hong Kong dollars.
The whole process was clean and neat, and it did not hurt anyone. The only loophole was that the escort's mask fell during the robbery and accidentally saw Zhang Ziqiang's face.
Zhang Ziqiang is extremely arrogant and domineering as a bandit. He never wears a mask for committing crimes. The only time he puts a mask on his body was when he was executed by a gun ▼
During the investigation, the police found that the criminals had a very accurate grasp of the time when the armored car appeared, which was very similar to knowing the news in advance.
Zhang Ziqiang's wife Luo Yanfang happened to work in this security company, and soon after the incident, she deposited more than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars in in one lump sum to the bank - the cash that was robbed this time.
The evidence was conclusive. Zhang Ziqiang was arrested and imprisoned, sentenced to 18 years. His crime was punished as he deserved. Everything should have been settled▼
The result was a shocking reversal.
After being imprisoned for three years, Zhang Ziqiang appealed in prison.
His wife Luo Yanfang started a public opinion offensive outside the prison:
1, held a press conference and claimed that Zhang Ziqiang was not guilty.
It is said that at the press conference, Luo Yanfang lifted her long skirt and showed the scar on the upper part of her thigh to reporters. claimed that it was done by the Hong Kong police.
2. Spend a lot of money to hire the best lawyer group in Hong Kong.
Lawyer asked to overturn the case by asking the escort to recognise the escort on the process of doubts and hundreds of thousands of cash that could not prove the robbery, and Zhang Ziqiang's severe torture ▼
1995 On June 22, 1995, the Hong Kong High Court ruled that Zhang Ziqiang's robbery was not established and released in court.
He also sued the Hong Kong Police Department and received HK$8 million in compensation.
Hong Kong taxpayers' money went into the pockets of the big robbers. After
was released, Zhang Ziqiang took this photo at the door of the court with a victory gesture▼
Audience question mark face: Can this work? ? ?
, let alone, this is really OK.
This is the trick that lawyers have tried and tested in the "Anti-American Legal System" - the Poison Tree Fruit Theory.
What does this mean?
"The Fruit of the Poison Tree" refers to evidence obtained through illegal means (poison tree) (poison tree) ▼
Such evidence will not be adopted by the court during the trial, even if it is enough to reverse the judgment result.
The principle was born in the United States in the 1960s, and happened to be the rise of the civil rights movement. The original intention of establishing the principle of
is to prevent the case handlers from torture and forcing confessions.
However, this strict requirement for procedural justice has also become the key idea for lawyers to defend the suspect innocence in the future.
For example, in the United States, the murder case of Simpson's wife, Zhou Libo's shot and poisonous case, the shadow of the poisonous tree fruit is behind the victory ▼
Of course, in the end, Zhang Ziqiang was killed in the mainland ▼
He bought 800 kilograms of explosives in the mainland and tried to transport them back to Hong Kong. On January 25, 1998, he was arrested by the public security organs at the toll station of the Jiangmen Waihai Bridge ▼
A bridge, from Hong Kong to the mainland, from life to death, from the British and American legal systems to the mainland legal systems, the same as those restored in the film "Chasing the Dragon 2".
During the interrogation, his wife launched a public opinion offensive again.
tried to ask the Hong Kong government to extradite him back to Hong Kong on the grounds that "Zhang Ziqiang is a Hong Konger and his criminal activities are mainly in Hong Kong."
Once he returns to Hong Kong, he is likely to be only a few years in prison or even acquitted.
Hong Kong Government: Haha.
Before the filming of the film "Chasing the Dragon 2", Wang Jing's team interviewed Zhang Ziqiang's accomplices who had been released from prison, and it is said that they have obtained a lot of first-hand information.
The movie basically restores Zhang Ziqiang's three most famous kidnapping cases. Although it greatly increases the police scenes and forces the emotional line to fill, the whole plot collapsed.
However, Tony Leung 's arrogant and domineering attitude towards the "Century Bandits", still interprets better than the previous works.
