In February 2019, according to the lunar calendar, more than 80 people wearing black clothes appeared in the depths of Qinling , Tongguan County, Shaanxi Province.
It was late at night and it was snowing heavily in the sky. The more than 80 people hiked for more than three hours and rushed on the path between cliffs.
Walking between cliffs at night, there is no need to say much about the danger. The team will slip and fall from time to time. Some people even almost fall down the mountain. If they were not pulled by someone, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Figure 1 Capture Cai Guoqiang's gang involved in gang
However, even in this dangerous situation, this group of people could still speak without saying a word. Apart from the "rustling" footsteps on the mountain, there was no other movement.
The reason why these 80 men in black came to this mountain valley without villages and shops during the first lunar month is to capture a group of crazy underworld elements...
"entrepreneur" Cai Guoqiang
Figure 2
For people in Xi'an, Xianyang and other places, they have basically heard of the name Cai Guoqiang to more or less. Cai Guoqiang has multiple identities in Shaanxi. Sometimes he is Cai Li, president of the Shaanxi Tibetan Mastiff Association, and is known as the "Shaanxi Mastiff King". Sometimes he is the general manager of Xi'an Shanda Mastiff Garden. There are three companies registered under his own name alone, with assets of tens of millions.
Sometimes he is a local "good man". He sometimes pays for the village to build roads, and sometimes donates money to the affected people, becoming an "outstanding private entrepreneur in Shaanxi Province".
Under this kind of identity, he is the infamous leader of the underworld Cai Guoqiang.
Figure 3
Let us turn back to 2006. On this day, after the door of a detention center in Shaanxi Province slowly opened, a 28-year-old man who looked careless came out of the detention center and looked at his friend Wang who was greeting him with a few "brothers" in front of him, and felt that the other party was really annoying.
This man is Cai Guoqiang. He was just 22 years old six years ago and first came into contact with a new type of drug called "ecstasy", so he gathered some idle people in society to sell drugs together to make huge profits.
often walks by the river, so how can you not wear your shoes? In 2005, Cai Guoqiang was sentenced to 10 months by the court for illegal possession of drugs. Now he has finally gone out. He feels that he needs to do something to consolidate his "authority."
Figure 4
Not long after, everyone in Cai Guoqiang's small group learned about a news: "Brother Cai's gun was stolen!"
Although guns had been banned for several years at this time, there were still some local guns among the people at that time. In Cai Guoqiang's view, his gun is a symbol of "authority". Now that the gun is stolen, it is "slapping himself in the face."
After some search, Cai Guoqiang's gun was found, in the room of his "good friend" Wang.
Looking at Cai Guoqiang who surrounded him with his "brothers" and wanted to say something, Wang swallowed, knowing that he would not give him an "explanation" today, so he would "explanation" here. With a cruel heart, Wang picked up a machete and chopped off his two fingers.
Figure 5 Cai Guoqiang's gun
Cai Guoqiang believes that if you are involved in the underworld, you must be cruel enough. Only when you are cruel enough, others will be afraid of you. In front of everyone, Cai Guoqiang has completely established his strong position and established gang rules:
"First: New members must be introduced by old members, and they must pay their ID card or copy;
2: Internal organization No drugs, no fights, no gambling;
Third: Anyone who violates the gang rules, who is in a minor situation, will be sent to the Tibetan Mastiff Garden in the deep mountains to raise dogs, and can only return after the 'suspension period'. If the gang rules are severely punished (referring to beatings). "
After establishing the gang rules, Cai Guoqiang began to continue to "recruit soldiers and horses", gathering a large number of people who have been released from prison and idle people in society, and relies on lending usury in the casino to obtain money.

On the evening of New Year's Day in 2008, Cai Guoqiang received a message from his subordinates saying that another group of gangsters came into the casino they "covered" and wanted to charge "protection fees". When Cai Guoqiang heard that someone was "making trouble", he became anxious on the spot and immediately took his younger brothers to the casino and fired with the other party.
Originally, the gangsters on the other side were just here to collect protection fees, but who knew that the opponent was so unethical. They all ran over with local guns and immediately chose to call the police.
After the police learned that someone had gathered to fight, they quickly sent out the police. After hearing the movement of the police car, the gang of gangs that opposed Cai Guoqiang immediately scattered. However, Cai Guoqiang was very confident. Not only did he not run away, he directed his younger brothers to blatantly fight with the police.
Figure 7
was in a hurry, and Cai Guoqiang shot a policeman in the head in front of everyone, but fortunately it did not cause his life to be in danger. After injuring the police, Cai Guoqiang still did not escape. Instead, he fired several shots at the police. When another policeman shot and counterattacked, he left openly.
If Cai Guoqiang, who was so rampant that he beat the police in public, was still not very famous at this time, then something that happened in 2009 made him completely famous.
On September 9, 2009, Cai Guoqiang went to the Yushu Tibetan area in Qinghai and spent a high price of 4 million to buy a Tibetan mastiff called "Yangtze River 2".
Figure 8
It’s such a "scenic" thing that I spent 4 million to buy a dog. How can I do if I don’t know it? Cai Guoqiang can be said to have created a lot of momentum. When he left, he organized a large number of convoys to "go farewell". After transporting the dogs to , Xi'an Xianyang International Airport, , he also organized a large number of people to pull banners outside the airport, and wrote:
"Warm welcome to Yushu 'Yangtze River 2' to Xi'an with a huge investment of 4 million yuan to settle in Shanda Mastiff Garden."
What is more eye-catching than this ad-like banner is the thing behind the banner. I saw that in the parking lot of the airport, there were two Mitsubishi off-road vehicles in the front and 30 black Mercedes-Benz in the back, either S500 or S600.
Figure 9
At 3:30 pm, the "Yangtze River 2" that was about 70 or 80 cm tall was led out of the airport cargo station. The receptionist also came forward to tie a big red flower to it.
"Yangtze River 2" posed for more than an hour at the airport, followed 30 Mercedes-Benz and left the airport in a mighty manner and headed towards the city.
spent 4 million to buy a dog and sent 30 Mercedes-Benz to greet him. Cai Guoqiang is famous. Since then, he often saw him on TV and advertised him to his Mastiff Garden. When he was fine, he would donate money to the villagers to build roads. He also donated money "generously" when there was a disaster.
Figure 10
Just like that, Cai Guoqiang relied on his open identity as an entrepreneur to increase his exposure and advertised his own business, while instructing his subordinates to collect protection fees everywhere. His illegal assets are increasing, and at the same time he is becoming more and more rampant.
In the summer of 2013, a newly opened casino in Lantian County, Xi'an City refused to pay protection fees to Cai Guoqiang because he had a "background". When Cai Guoqiang heard that someone dared to go against him, he immediately directed more than 50 subordinates to drive more than 20 cars to a holiday hotel in Lantian County, . After entering the casino, he started to chop and smash, smashing 7 cars in a row, and even the innocent people watching were hurt by them.
Gathering crowds to gamble and catch "big fish"
Figure 11
2018, with the in-depth development of the national anti-gang campaign, Cai Guoqiang knew that he would definitely not escape the French Open if this continued, so he began to prepare for whitewashing, changed his name from Cai Li to Cai Guoqiang, established "Guoqiang Real Estate", and prepared to enter the real estate industry.
The reason why he changed his name is because Cai Li's name is too notorious in the local area.However, the name change operation did not really make him "stronger". When a dispute arose, Cai Guoqiang still used the old method and sent his younger brother to threaten others with swords, guns and sticks. Soon everyone knew that "Cai Guoqiang" was "the leader of the underworld Cai Li".
On the evening of August 13, 2018, several police officers from Wugong Police Station suddenly discovered an abnormal situation while patrolling at night. I saw 17 cars surrounding a remote place, and there was a vague noise from inside. The policeman went over and found that it turned out to be an underground casino.
Figure 12
When Cai Guoqiang, who was "watching the scene", was timid when he saw the police and obediently let the police arrest him. Originally, the police only thought it was a case of a gang opening an underground casino. However, after interrogation, it was unexpectedly discovered that the case did not seem simple. There were several "black eating black" cases hidden behind it, and all the clues pointed to a man named Cai Guoqiang.
Not long after, the local police established a special task force for Cai Guoqiang's gangs and evil forces, and the case was also supervised by the National Anti-Gang Office. The police officers of the task force in
have become more and more frightened the more they investigated. Cai Guoqiang's criminal gang actually involved 5 cities and 13 counties and districts, and they had very strong control. They acted randomly in these places and often fought with guns and knives.
In just 15 years, Cai Guoqiang and his gang have carried out as many as 54 illegal and criminal activities in total, including 10 fights, two intentional injuries, three casinos opened, one forced transaction, 13 organized extortion, and nine provocations.
Figure 13
After grasping the evidence of Cai Guoqiang's crime, the task force officially decided to close the net and formulated a "counter-knife" arrest plan.
When the police were preparing to arrest Cai Guoqiang, they suddenly reported that Cai Guoqiang had some awareness of the arrest and was now preparing to leave the country and go to Hong Kong. At that time, the "backbone" in Cai Guoqiang's gang will go to the airport to see him off.
The police did not dare to neglect and immediately went to the airport to prepare to close the network.
However, what the police did not expect was that they waited in the airport for more than ten hours. From the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2019 to the second day of the Lunar New Year, the scene of "backbone" seeing off the "boss" did not appear. There was only a woman with children escorted by several bodyguards at the airport. This woman was no one else, but Cai Guoqiang's wife Wang Jiaping.
Figure 14
Because he was uncertain whether Cai Guoqiang was hiding nearby to observe, the police chose to wait patiently. As a result, Cai Guoqiang's wife and children were all in the customs, and Cai Guoqiang did not appear in the airport. The problem is that his air ticket was not cancelled.
realized that this was Cai Guoqiang's "title to ask for directions", and the police immediately arrested his wife and children, and quickly launched the second and third arrest plans.
Soon, the police deployed control of Cai Guoqiang's parents' home. After waiting patiently for two hours, Cai Guoqiang drove back. He opened the door in panic and wanted to pack up and left, but was arrested by the police on the spot. Looking at the police who came to arrest him, Cai Guoqiang did not resist much and said, "I knew I would have such a day sooner or later."
Figure 15
After a police interrogation, Cai Guoqiang confessed that in order to be on the safe side, he had asked the "backbone" to go out in advance to "loosen the limelight" and now they should have arrived in an abandoned mine deep in the Qinling Mountains.
Without further ado, 80 policemen immediately took advantage of the night to the location where Cai Guoqiang explained and successfully captured all his subordinates.
deserves the crime
On May 19, 2020, Cai Guoqiang organized the last fugitive, Liang Wu, who saw that he had no hope of escaping, chose to surrender.
The case of Cai Guoqiang is very complicated, and the number of people involved is also very large. The case files and materials alone exceed 200 volumes.
Figure 16
On June 10, the Wugong County Court of Xianyang City officially publicly tried the case involving 56 people led by Cai Guoqiang in the county gymnasium. Because the case was too complicated, the public trial lasted for a full 6 days.Afterwards, the collegial panel fought for 15 days and issued a verdict of 360,000 words:
The defendant Cai Guoqiang was convicted of organizing and leading a gang-like organization, extortion and other crimes, and decided to execute fixed-term imprisonment
Figure 17
The reason why Cai Guoqiang was so rampant is of course there is a protective umbrella behind it. Shortly after he was arrested, the 12th Central Supervision Group for Anti-gang and Evil entered Shaanxi. In just 10 days, it knocked out the protective umbrella headed by Yan Hong, then deputy director of the Xi'an Public Security Bureau of Shaanxi Province and deputy director of the Municipal Anti-gang Office.
After learning about Cai Guoqiang's final outcome, people in Xi'an and other places clapped and even set off firecrackers to celebrate. Some citizens said that "Cai Laohu" was arrested, and everyone can finally live a peaceful life in the future!
