After the incident, in order to quickly detect the first vicious case of using explosives to rob a bank in the history of New China, bring the criminals to justice as soon as possible and eliminate the panic of the masses. The police dispatched capable personnel to conduct a detailed investigation of the scene and organized a large number of police forces to search for clues. The Ministry of Public Security also immediately dispatched experts to provide guidance.

However, due to the sudden incident, an explosion occurred at the crime scene, and the scene was chaotic, making it very difficult to detect the case.

How did the police find clues from the chaotic scene to arrest the brutal criminals? How did the five brothers embark on the path of collective destruction?

Today, we will review this shocking case.

Explosions, gunshots, and huge sums of money were robbed

On January 18, 2003, the weather in Shenyang City was very cold, and it got dark around 17:45 in the evening.

In front of the No. 1 Savings Office of Shenyang Commercial Bank Liaoshen Branch at No. 151 Dongshuncheng Street, Dadong District, Shenyang City, a white van was parked. This ordinary-looking van without any markings was actually modified. cash transport truck.

Every day before get off work, this car transports the cash from the savings bank.

At this time, the rear of the cash transport truck was facing the outer stairs of the bank exit. Two security staff were standing inside the door, and the other two were standing on the left and right sides of the vehicle to serve as guards. This was the case every day. Required security procedures and actions must be implemented.

The staff in the savings bank have also finished their work for the day. As long as the escort takes away the day's turnover, they can close the door and get off work.

saw that the cash transport truck had stopped at the door, and two staff members were preparing to move the sealed special money bags to the cash transport truck. A staff member named Wang Honghai walked out the door alone carrying two money bags. The money bags were heavy and he seemed to be struggling. At this time, another staff member named Zhang Xiaoli said to him while changing her shoes: "Wang Honghai, wait for me for a while, and I will carry it with you." While Wang Honghai was talking, Wang Honghai had arrived at the door of the savings bank with his money bag, and Zhang Xiaoli also Following him, there was only a gap of three or four meters between the two of them. But it was this distance of three or four meters that allowed Zhang Xiaoli to luckily escape death.

Zhang Xiaoli, who was walking behind, saw Wang Honghai carrying the money bag to the steps at the back of the cash transport truck. Just when Wang Honghai put the money bag on the car, there was a loud "boom" and Wang Honghai was blown up. , the air wave generated by the explosion knocked Zhang Xiaoli to the ground, and the air was instantly filled with choking smoke. Accompanied by the huge explosion was a "crackling" sound of glass breaking...

Just before the smoke from the explosion had dissipated, several black figures emerged from different corners holding shotguns and attacked the cash transport truck like a hungry tiger. The driver of the cash transport truck saw that the situation was not good and was about to get out of the car when he was shot by a black figure rushing towards him.

Several dark figures rushed to the rear of the cash transport truck in the blink of an eye, grabbed the money bag and ran away. All the money in the bag totaling 2.2 million yuan was robbed. The whole process only took three or four minutes.

On-site investigation, pepper became a breakthrough clue

After the incident, the police immediately cordoned off the scene and launched an investigation, and reported the case to the Ministry of Public Security. The Ministry of Public Security immediately sent technical experts to Shenyang overnight to guide the investigation.

During the on-site inspection, the police found the body of a staff member at the rear of the cash transport truck facing the entrance of the savings bank. His thigh was blown to bits. This person was Wang Honghai.

There is another body on the east side of the cash transport truck. It was found that this person was an escort of the financial center.

The driver of the cash transport truck died in the driver's seat. He was shot to death.

Beside the stairs outside the bank, there is a rack for storing bicycles, with several bicycles parked on it. These bicycles had been smashed into pieces, and the rear part of one bicycle was particularly badly damaged.A deep crater was blasted under the frame of the bicycle. The police determined that this was the central explosion point. The crater was caused by the downward impact of the shock wave during the explosion.

The police collected thousands of pieces of explosion debris at the scene, and also found a fragment of a motorcycle anti-theft device circuit board, copper wires from the explosive device, and a large number of steel nails for shoe repair.

Based on the items found at the scene, the police determined that the explosive used by the criminals was ammonium nitrate explosive without TNT. The amount of explosive was about 600 grams. It was about the same size as a lunch box and was very powerful. The explosive was detonated using electric detonator .

Criminals placed explosives on the back rack of a bicycle in front of the savings bank and then detonated them remotely. The remote control device is modified from a motorcycle anti-theft device. In order to increase the lethality, a large number of steel nails for shoe repair were wrapped in the outer layer of the explosive. The perpetrator was very skilled in using explosives.

Since the method of detonating explosives with detonators is often used in mining construction operations, the police concluded that the perpetrator should have mining work experience.

Through careful investigation, the police found many useful clues at the crime scene, but these clues were far from enough to solve the case. To make a breakthrough in the detection of the case, they must rely on the people. In order to find more clues as soon as possible, the police actively searched for witnesses at the time of the crime and posted a notice: Anyone who provides important clues to solve the case will be rewarded up to 300,000 yuan.

The hard work paid off. Through the police's all-round mobilization visit, an important clue was discovered.

A woman told the police that she happened to pass by the crime scene at the time of the crime. After hearing the explosion, she fearfully hid behind a red minivan parked not far from the crime scene. She said that not long after she hid behind the car, she saw several people running over in a panic, getting into the red van and driving away.

This clue brightened the eyes of the police. They felt that what the woman witnessed was most likely the criminals fleeing the scene after committing the crime. The red van should be the vehicle used by the criminals. They must find that vehicle. !

carefully searched and mobilized the masses. More than 20 hours after the incident, the masses reported that a red minivan was found in a residential area about 1 kilometer away from the crime scene.

After the police arrived, they immediately conducted a detailed inspection of the car:

They found the driver's license of a certain person in the car, a large amount of blood on the driver's seat, and two cigarette butts on the passenger seat. After testing by DNA, the two cigarette butts did not belong to the owner of the car, but were left by another person.

The blood stain extracted from the driver's seat was found to belong to the owner of the car. After contacting Zhang's family, they learned that Zhang was a tow truck driver. On January 18, Zhang received a call and went to Huangsi Plaza to pick up customers. Once he left, he never came back. Based on this, it is inferred that Zhang Moumou may have been killed.

The police also found 1 shotgun bullet, 1 small-caliber gun bullet, 2 sharp knives, 2 cut cash bags and 7 bank-specific black leather bags in the car.

During the investigation, the police smelled a strong smell inside and outside the car. Through careful observation, they found that pepper was sprinkled in and around the vehicle. This detail aroused strong interest from the police and became a breakthrough in solving the case.

Police analysis shows that the purpose of the criminals' pepper spraying is to hinder the smell and tracking of the police dogs. This shows that the criminals have strong anti-investigation capabilities and have carefully considered the details of the crime in advance.

After careful search, the police also found a plastic bag with the words Dongta Supermarket in the car. After analysis, the police believed that this should be the bag used by criminals to buy pepper noodles.

The police followed this clue and learned from the cashier of Dongta Supermarket that at 10:27 am on January 17, a middle-aged man in his forties entered the supermarket and bought 4 bottles of pepper. The man's hair was disheveled, his complexion was very dark, and his skin was very rough, like a rural person who is often exposed to wind and sun. This man was about 1.7 meters tall and wore dark clothes.

After extensive interviews, many witnesses have provided to the police that the criminals are 4 to 5 men, all in their 30s and 40s, about 1.70 meters tall, relatively thin, and wearing black. They were wearing cotton-padded clothes and had their faces covered when committing the crime. At least two of them were armed with shotguns.

narrowed the scope of the investigation, and the criminal surfaced.

After getting these clues and information, the police carefully sorted it out. During the combing process, the police found that in this case, the criminal's method of spreading pepper to block the smell of the police dog seemed familiar. Through further investigation, Issued on December 29, 2000 Comparing the case of armed murder and robbery of individual cigarette seller Li Xiuhua with the case of armed robbery of Postal Savings Bank armored vehicle that occurred on January 10, 2001, the police also concluded that the modus operandi and cases of this case and those two cases were different. More similarities in nature:

1. Criminals specifically target rich people or bank armored vehicles.

2. Shotguns were used during the crime.

3. Before the crime, rental vehicles were robbed and used as transportation, and the drivers were killed. After committing the crime, the car was abandoned in a community not far from the scene. The inside and outside of the car were sprinkled with pepper or chili powder.

4. Cruel and ruthless, the crime was committed by a gang.

passed the DNA test, and the results also proved that the "1.18" Shenyang Commercial Bank Savings Bank armored vehicle explosion robbery and the "1.10" Shenyang Postal Savings Bank armored vehicle robbery were the same. The cigarette butts extracted from the vehicle abandoned by criminals were the same. Personally left. In other words, the two cases were committed by the same group of people.

The police came to two more conclusions through further analysis:

First, this criminal gang committed crimes continuously in the eastern area of Shenyang City from 2000 to 2003. From this point of view, it shows that the criminals are very familiar with the eastern area of Shenyang. Should be a native of Shenyang or a long-term resident of Shenyang.

2. The suspect is very likely to live in Hushitai . Because on January 18, the van driver Zhang Moumou said he was heading to Qipanshan Scenic Area in the direction of Hushitai when he last talked to his friends on the phone. The criminal suspect contacted the murdered driver Zhang several times, using the public phone at Huangsi Square Station in Shenyang North City. There are two buses "326" and "328" at this station. These two buses may come from Hushi. Based on this analysis, the police analyzed that the criminals probably took bus No. 326 or 328 from Hushitai and got off at Huangsi Square and then called the van driver Zhang Moumou.

Based on the analysis, the task force decisively decided to focus on the Hushi area as the focus of the investigation. Facts have proved that the police's judgment was completely correct.

html On February 7, the police task force received an important feedback: Zhang Xianming, the boyfriend of Park Chunzi, the owner of a snack bar in Hushitai area, is from Heilongjiang. He has lived in Shenyang for a long time and keeps changing his residence. Zhang Xianming said to others a few days ago It is said that he has returned to his hometown in Heilongjiang, but he has been seen many times still operating in Shenyang, which raises many suspicions about this person.

The police immediately found Park Chunzi. Park Chunzi said that on the night of January 18, the night of the bombing of the cash transport truck, Zhang Xianming stayed at her house at night. The day before yesterday, Zhang Xianming and himself went to the home of a relative named Zheng. At the relative's house, he and Zhang Xianming had a quarrel, and he returned to his home alone.

The police searched Park Chunzi’s snack bar and seized three shotguns, more than 30 bullets and more than 1.3 million yuan in the backyard of a Sichuan-style snack bar next to the snack bar. The police immediately arrived at Park Chunzi's relative's house and arrested Zhang Xianming, who was extremely drunk.

passed the "DNA" test, and the results proved that the cigarette butts extracted from the abandoned vehicles in the "1·18" and "1·10" cases were left by Zhang Xianming.

In the face of the irrefutable facts, Zhang Xianming stopped making excuses. He confessed to a series of crimes including the "1·18" and "1·10" armed robbery of cash transport vehicles with Zhang Xianguang, Zhang Xianhui, Li Yanbin and Li Yanbo. The facts were revealed and the hiding places of Li Yanbin and Li Yanbo were revealed.

The police fought continuously and immediately sent people to Harbin to capture Li Yanbin and Li Yanbo who had fled to the countryside of Harbin. Earlier, another criminal Zhang Xianhui was also arrested in Heilongjiang. This time, 21 days and nights after the "1·18" incident , four of the five criminals were arrested, and the whereabouts of the main criminal Zhang Xianguang are unknown.

However, due to the sudden incident, an explosion occurred at the crime scene, and the scene was chaotic, making it very difficult to detect the case.

How did the police find clues from the chaotic scene to arrest the brutal criminals? How did the five brothers embark on the path of collective destruction?

Today, we will review this shocking case.

Explosions, gunshots, and huge sums of money were robbed

On January 18, 2003, the weather in Shenyang City was very cold, and it got dark around 17:45 in the evening.

Every day before get off work, this car transports the cash from the savings bank.

The staff in the savings bank have also finished their work for the day. As long as the escort takes away the day's turnover, they can close the door and get off work.

The Five Sinful Brothers

After interrogation, it was found that this was a serious violent criminal gang formed by relatives and blood relationships. There were five members: Zhang Xianguang, Zhang Xianming, Zhang Xianhui, Li Yanbo, and Li Yanbin.

Among them, Zhang Xianguang, Zhang Xianming and Zhang Xianhui are brothers. Li Yanbo and Li Yanbin are cousins, and they are uncles and cousins to Zhang Xianguang and three other people.

In this criminal gang, the boss Zhang Xianguang is the "leader", and the four younger brothers all obey him. It can be said that he is the elder brother who led the four younger brothers to the road of crime and the road of no return.

Zhang Xianguang has been dating idle people in society since he was a teenager. He is ruthless, often gets into fights, and his hands and feet are not clean.

In 1984, 19-year-old Zhang Xianguang was sent to reeducation through labor for three years for stealing. From then on, he began to hate society.

Shortly after he was released from the labor camp, Zhang Xianguang took out his anger on his sister who was being bullied and stabbed her with a knife. In 1990, Zhang Xianguang stabbed Feng, a man who had an argument with his mother, to death with a dagger. He fled to the world and was wanted by the public security department.

Zhang Xianguang's two younger brothers, Zhang Xianming and Zhang Xianhui, also contracted bad habits under the influence of Zhang Xianguang.

In 1994, the second brother Zhang Xianming was sentenced to nine years in prison for theft. After serving five years, he was paroled for medical treatment. After Zhang Xianming was released from prison, Zhang Xianguang and his third brother Zhang Xianhui went to Harbin to find Zhang Xianming, and the three criminal brothers reunited.

Because Zhang Xianguang was a fugitive wanted by the police, the three brothers lived a turbulent life of hiding from each other after reuniting. When the three vicious men were working as porters in a seafood wholesale market in Harbin, they came up with the idea of businessmen who had good business and made more money.

Zhang Xianguang asked the third brother Zhang Xianhui to go to Yunnan to buy three single-barreled shotguns, saw off the barrels and handles, and the three criminal brothers took action...

One night in mid-January 2000, the three brothers met a fish seller in the courtyard of the Harbin Meat Factory. Ma, a wealthy man, was walking alone, and the three brothers followed him all the way to a secluded place. Zhang Xianguang took out his shotgun and shot Ma. Seeing that the elder brother was taking action, the two younger brothers also took out guns and shot at Ma. Ma died on the spot. The three men stole 140,000 yuan from Ma's backpack.

A few days later, in the Daowai District of Harbin, the three sinister brothers followed a female boss who was engaged in seafood wholesale business. When she got out of the car in front of her garage, the three brothers rushed up with guns and shot into the car first. , frightening the people in the car. Then Zhang Xianguang shot the female boss several times, killing her and taking away the bag she was carrying. Afterwards, the three men robbed another woman's bag in the car. This time the three brothers robbed a total of 200,000 yuan in cash. After

grabbed a huge sum of money, the three of them squandered it while avoiding it. The second and third sons ran to Shenyang, and the eldest Zhang Xianguang also changed his rental location. A year later, Zhang Xianguang also fled to Shenyang to find his two younger brothers in order to evade arrest.

After the three criminal brothers reunited again, they began to plan to commit crimes. It was the Spring Festival of 2001, and the three brothers discussed grabbing some money to celebrate the New Year.

Brothers, together, there is already a murder case involved, so we might as well just stop doing it and do a few more big ones. After much deliberation, they targeted the Postal Savings Office.

They formulated a detailed crime plan and decided to build a car first. On the night before, the three brothers robbed a red Santana taxi. The taxi driver who resisted desperately was stabbed to death by them. Then they stuffed the driver's body into the trunk, and Zhang Xianhui drove back to the rental place. .

Fearing that there would be insufficient manpower, the three brothers called their uncle's cousin to join the gang the next day. The four drove to the Postal Savings Office to ambush them. As soon as the cash transport truck arrived, the four men rushed out of the car with guns. Shooting, seriously injuring two security guards. The four people robbed 785,000 yuan in stolen money, abandoned the car and divided the stolen money after fleeing.

Two years later, in 2003, when the Chinese New Year was coming again, the three sinful brothers had squandered the money they had stolen, and they decided to continue working.

This time they set their sights on the Shenyang Dadong District Commercial Bank Savings Office, which is located in a prosperous area. Before taking action, the three of them followed the armored vehicle of the Shenyang Commercial Bank many times, and made a thorough investigation of the armored vehicle's route, the number of escorts on the vehicle, the number of escorts, the withdrawal time and other relevant information, and then decided to wait until the armored vehicle arrived at the commercial bank. Do it when withdrawing money from the First Savings Office of Liaoshen Branch.

Zhang Xianguang worked as a miner to make remote-controlled explosive devices. He and Zhang Xianming used the detonators, explosives, motorcycle batteries, remote controls and other materials bought by Zhang Xianhui to assemble the explosive devices and carried out the operation in Zengyi Village, Hushitai Town, Xinchengzi District, Shenyang City Explosion experiment. The

experiment was successful, and the next step is to develop transportation. At about 9 o'clock on January 18, 2003, the three brothers Zhang Xianming deceived the victim Zhang into driving a van near Qingshui Terrace in Xinchengzi District, Shenyang City, under the pretext of hiring a car to transport goods. Zhang Xianguang assaulted Zhang in the car. They shot him in the back and pinched his neck violently, causing him to die. The three brothers threw Zhang's body into a nearby reed pond and drove the stolen car back to the city. Afraid of not having enough manpower, he also roped in his uncle's cousin. In this way, the three brothers cheated their uncle's cousin and then cheated their uncle's cousin. In the end, the two cousins were sentenced to death .

Everything was ready, and the three criminal brothers set the time to commit the crime in the evening of that day.

At about 17:00 that day, Zhang Xianguang, Zhang Xianming, Zhang Xianhui, and Li Yanbo carried shotguns, explosives and other crime tools and drove a stolen van to ambush near the First Savings Office of the Liaoshen Branch of the Municipal Commercial Bank. Zhang Xianming placed the explosive device. On a bicycle rack outside the savings bank.

17:50, when the municipal commercial bank's cash transport truck stopped in front of the savings bank, Zhang Xianhui activated the remote control device and detonated the explosive, killing bank staff Wang Honghai and Liu Wei on the spot and injuring five others. Later, Zhang The brothers rushed forward with shotguns and shot at the struggling cashiers. Zhang Xianguang shot the cash truck driver who was about to get out of the car in the head with a shotgun, killing him. Several of his brothers took advantage of the situation. They randomly took away the money bag from the cash transport truck and drove away from the scene.

On April 4, 2003, the Shenyang Intermediate People's Court publicly heard the case in accordance with the law. The court made a first-instance verdict in court, and Zhang Xianhui, Zhang Xianming, Li Yanbo, and Li Yanbin were sentenced to death.

When Zhang Xianguang was brought to justice, he said: I tricked all my brothers.

Although the truth of the "1·18" case has been revealed, the four criminals Zhang Xianhui, Zhang Xianming, Li Yanbo, and Li Yanbin have also been arrested. The crime was brought to justice at the time of the incident, but the main criminal Zhang Xianguang has always been at large. This has become a major worry for every investigator who has personally experienced the "1·18" case. Zhang Xianguang has not returned to the case, and the investigation of the "1·18" case cannot be called satisfactory. .

Where did Zhang Xianguang escape?

After completing the "1.18" major case, Zhang Xianguang didn't go anywhere, but found a place to hide in Shenyang.

hid for a while. When Zhang Xianguang called his second brother Zhang Xianming, who had been arrested, no one answered. Zhang Xianguang felt bad, so he quickly put down the phone and ran to the suburbs of Shenyang to hide.

Soon, Zhang Xianguang learned that the police had solved the case, and his two younger brothers and two cousins had been arrested. The police were looking for him, and he began to hide around like a lost dog. During the day, he hid in the firewood pile, and only dared to come out to buy some food at night.

hid for a while. Zhang Xianguang thought that the limelight had passed, so he began to flee. He headed north along the national highway, sometimes taking long-distance buses and sometimes walking. When you get tired of walking, you can find a pile of firewood or a pile of hay in the wilderness to relax for a while.

In this way, Zhang Xianguang went to Qiqihar . In Qiqihar, Zhang Xianguang used the pseudonym "Jizhong Lin" and worked as a laborer in the Qiqihar Fruit Market, Steel Market, Jianbei Market, and Xinghuo Vegetable Wholesale Market, and even found a divorced woman to live with.

's life on the run was not easy. Zhang Xianguang was always worried that the police would suddenly appear in front of him. Zhang Xianguang knew that once he was caught, what awaited him would be severe punishment from the law. In order to avoid legal sanctions, this desperado made a homemade remote-controlled explosive device and hung it on his chest day and night. He was prepared to kill the fish and kill him if he was caught.

The French Open is open and meticulous. Although Zhang Xianguang tried his best to avoid it, he still aroused suspicion from others.

Someone reported to Qiqihar City police: A man who rents a house rarely goes out except for work, and also deliberately avoids communicating with others. This man is very suspicious. The police from the

police station immediately launched a peripheral investigation. During the investigation, someone reminded the police: “This man looks a bit like Zhang Xianguang, a fugitive wanted by the Ministry of Public Security.”

The police immediately reported this clue to the local public security bureau. The police immediately sent people to arrest Zhang Xianguang, who had returned from an outing. He was arrested as soon as he entered the house. Due to the sultry weather that day, Zhang Xianguang unloaded the explosive. Device, his plan to resist arrest failed. The police found 17 detonators and a sharp knife from his home on the spot. After being arrested, Zhang Xianguang claimed to be Ji Zhonglin when questioned by the police and tried to get away with it. After a lot of mental battles, he finally lost and confessed that he was Zhang Xianguang. After confessing, he said, "I tricked all my brothers."

In this way, Zhang Xianguang finally fell into the trap after absconding for 3 years and 6 months. French Open.

On November 9, 2006, Zhang Xianguang was sentenced to death. On the morning of December 1, Zhang Xianguang was taken to the execution ground and executed.
