In 2010, the market price of squid hit a new high. In order to make a profit, fishermen increased their fishing efforts for squid in the coastal waters of our country. However, the supply is still in short supply. Therefore, some fishery companies began to focus on the waters of Peru in the South Pacific. , The squid resources here are extremely rich.
So, at the end of this year, an ocean squid fishing boat of Aquatic Food Co., Ltd. departed from our port and sailed to the Peruvian waters. There were 33 crew members on board, including the captain. They were full of dreams of getting rich and hoped to come back. I can improve my life later.
According to the plan, the ship will complete a two-year fishing operation at sea, which means that the return time will be at least until 2012. However, just a few months after the ship’s departure, the squid fishing boat appeared strangely In the Northwest Pacific Ocean, and also sent a distress signal to my country's maritime police department.

The maritime police department immediately organized forces to rescue the ship, and finally successfully pulled the ship back to our port, but when the rescuers arrived on the ship, they were shocked It was discovered that only 11 people were left on the ship at this time, and according to their description, the other 22 crew members had all been killed. The news spread back to China and caused quite a stir.
What did these crew members experience during the voyage? Why did the squid fishing boat suddenly appear on the return route? Is this accident or man-made? How did the 22 crew members die? What is the truth of the matter?
This article will start from when the squid fishing boat went out to sea, and restore the whole process before and after the crew went out to sea at that time.
voyages and disputes
The global financial crisis broke out in 2008, but the domestic market under the macro control of the Chinese government has not been affected much, but the economy of our country It maintains a rapid growth rate of over 10% every year.
As the economy continues to grow, people’s living standards continue to improve, and their spending power has also increased significantly compared to the past.Some of the food lovers are very keen on squid, and the huge population base quickly makes squid in short supply.
By 2010, the market wholesale price of squid alone has almost doubled, and the sales price has greatly increased. However, people's consumption momentum has not weakened. However, as the offshore squid resources have become under the excessive fishing of fishermen There is a shortage, and the existing reserves can no longer keep up with the supply.
Squid
As the saying goes, "The prosperity of the world is profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is profit." In the context of this serious imbalance between supply and demand, some small-scale fishery companies started to make profits. Organizing crews for ocean fishing, the Peruvian waters to the east of the South Pacific is their first choice, because the squid resources here are extremely rich.
Shandong Rongcheng Xinfa Aquatic Food Co., Ltd. is one of these companies. The company has started offshore operations as early as 2000. It has several large-scale fishing boats. This business opportunity will naturally not be missed by this company. .
In order to maximize fishing, the company deliberately chose "Lurongyu 2682" for this voyage. This is a large squid fishing boat with 36.98 meters on board, 7 meters wide and a full displacement of 233 tons. The power of the main engine is as high as 330 kilowatts, and the various supporting equipment on board are very complete. It can be said that if there is no accident, a round trip will be very profitable.
The ship is ready, the next step is to look for the crew. The company quickly found a candidate for the captain. This person is Li Chengquan, a native of Dalian, Liaoning, who was 41 years old at the time. He has many voyages and has relatively good organizational skills. protrude.
Li Chengquan gladly became the captain under the temptation of a lot of money. In order to better manage the crew, he took the initiative to bring the same experienced friends Fu Yizhong and Wang Yongbo into the group together, and let them serve as first mates. , The position of the second deputy.
Later, the three of Li Chengquan found 6 relatives and friends to enrich the management of the ship. Since these nine people are all from Dalian, they are habitually referred to as the "Dalian Gang". After the nine members of the management recruited all , The company also found 24 ordinary crew members through an intermediary company.
These people come from many provinces in the north and south of the sky. Among them, the "Heilongjiang Gang" with Liu Guiduo as the core and the "Inner Mongolia Gang" headed by Baodegejirihu (hereinafter collectively referred to as Baode) are in addition to the "Dalian Gang" The two largest groups outside.
But Liu Guiduo, Bao De and others are not professional crew members. Most of them have not even gone to sea. This voyage is only to make a lot of money, because when the company is recruiting people, He promised them that as long as they stay on the boat for two years, in addition to the extra income derived from fishing output, a minimum wage of 90,000 yuan will be guaranteed.
squid fishing boat
Of course, there are still some scattered people among the 33 crew members. Some of them are on the boat to realize their dreams in the future. Ma Yuchao is a college graduate who has been practicing in society for a year He still didn't find a satisfactory job. He originally planned to start a business, but due to the financial constraints of his family, he was forced to shelve it. This time he had a chance to make a fortune.
Before sailing, Ma Yuchao called his mother and said with longing expectation: "I'm leaving today, and there will be no signal for a while. Mom, don't think about me. I will be back in two years. When I save some money, I can come back. Do something.”
At 12:58 on December 27, 2010, Captain Li Chengquan gave an order to sail away from the Rongcheng Shidao Fishing Port on the Lu Rongyu No. 2682 large squid fishing boat and rushed to the south. When the ship left the port, as usual, the crew lit a firecracker on the bow of the ship, and a "gold rush trip" kicked off.

After the lie was exposed
After more than two months of boring sailing, Lurongyu 2682 finally successfully arrived in the Peruvian waters. It was summer in the southern hemisphere, and squid activities were very frequent. All the crew members were suffocated, ready to do a big job and make a fortune.
According to the contract, the crew only needs to work 8 hours a day. Except for the captain (who is responsible for sailing), the 33 crew members are divided into two shifts, working in the morning and evening.
Everyone looked at the large amount of squid caught,I was very excited and felt that this time they must have made a fortune, so they often worked as much as possible every day for a period of time, and no one was lazy, so that they could catch more fish.
However, just a few months later, the crew actually worked more than 18 hours a day, and sometimes even worked more than 30 hours continuously. Everyone became very tired. Some took the initiative to seek leave from Captain Li Chengquan, but They were not approved, which made them very depressed.
The squid fishing boat that works at night
The captain wants to be divided. The more fish the crew catches, the higher his improvement. Therefore, Li Chengquan does not care about the crew’s mood and state, but only urges them to work harder. Once, a crew member couldn't stand it anymore and he secretly rested for a while. After learning about it, Li Chengquan punched and kicked him. This caused dissatisfaction among all crew members except the management.
What's more, the captain did not pay the crew's wages in accordance with the contract, and even publicly stopped paying the sick crew's wages, which made the crew even more angry.
Once, Liu Guiduo ’s fellow Jiang Xiaolong had no money on hand, so he took the initiative to ask Captain Li Chengquan to apply for this month’s salary in advance. Although Li Chengquan gave it, he only gave 1,200 yuan. Based on the guaranteed annual salary of 45,000 yuan, you should get at least 3750 yuan a month.
Jiang Xiaolong asked suspiciously: “Captain, did you send it wrong? According to the contract, it’s still a lot worse.”
However, what Jiang Xiaolong didn’t expect was that Li Chengquan took out a contract and said loudly, "The contract is clearly written, and the annual salary of 45,000 was issued on the premise that you didn’t catch any fish. , Now I have caught fish, and I only have a basic salary of 1200 per month, which will be calculated after returning to the country. "
Jiang Xiaolong was very angry, and he also said loudly: "You are not the same as the contract I signed. , Should come in accordance with the contract I signed, with the company's chapter on it!"
Li Chengquan laughed.He laughed and said: "Brother , don't think about it. The company's chapter is fake and the contract is also fake. The reason why you are recruiting inexperienced crew members is just to reduce costs. The company makes money. Don’t even think about getting a penny to make money. You can be content with this 1200 basic salary! ”
Jiang Xiaolong is very angry, but there is no other way for people on the boat, they can only hold the gap with the contract. The disparity of money returned to his place of residence, and he directly reported the matter to Liu Guiduo, because Liu Guiduo brought the "Dalian Gang" on board the ship.
Liu Guiduo was also very angry after hearing this. He immediately went to Li Chengquan to reason, but he did not expect Li Chengquan to say without hiding: " is useless to anyone. To tell you the truth, you ordinary seamen even seamen. There is no evidence of . If you don’t have me, you will not be able to return to China. I advise you to be honest! ”
Liu Guiduo heard that he might not be able to return to China. He was stunned for a moment. When I was deceived, I suddenly became angry. In addition to fighting injustices for his fellow villagers, there is another reason that Liu Guiduo's fishing volume has been among the best among all the crew for months.
Liu Guiduo originally made a lot of money in accordance with the contract, but he didn't expect to be scammed by the company. Even the captain and the company were stunned. Seeing that the money he was about to get was almost gone, this really made him intolerable.
Division of forces
Liu Guiduo was depressed for the next few days, and he did not work hard before. He did not know what to do. However, one afternoon, Baode, the core of the Inner Mongolia gang, took the initiative to find He stopped him, and said directly: "Our situation is the same as yours. Since Li is ruthless, we might as well rob the ship and force him to return!" Liu Guiduo, desperate, thinks this is a good idea, but he I still hesitate, because it is against the law after all, and Liu Guiduo has always been a duty farmer before going abroad.There was no criminal record, and he was uncomfortable for a while.
However, under Baode’s repeated persuasion, Liu Guiduo agreed. The two began looking for crew members who were willing to act together. After several days of talking, they found a total of 14 people, including the university graduate Ma Yuchao. However, he is familiar with the law and made it clear that he is only responsible for preparations and does not participate in specific actions.
When people are forced to be helpless, they often stimulate great potential. That night, Liu Guiduo held a meeting with the rest of the crew of the "Dalian Gang" and the "Inner Mongolia Gang" as well as Ma Yuchao and other scattered people, and deployed Specific action arrangements.
Squid Fishing Boat
In order to reassure everyone, Liu Guiduo also lied that he knew a well-known lawyer in Jinan. When the ship returned to China, he took everyone to litigate with the company. Everyone obeyed. His decision began to prepare, and the first step was to hijack Captain Li Chengquan.
Distortion of human nature
At 23 o'clock in the evening on June 16, 2011, the squid fishing boat Lu Rongyu 2682 sailed to the sea area of Chile. The sea is calm and the sea is calm. Captain Li Chengquan is driving the boat steadily in the captain's room. Suddenly, Liu Guiduo and Bao De and others broke in with knives, and instantly hijacked Li Chengquan.
One of his subordinates shouted: "Just kill him. There happens to be one of our crew who can sail." Liu Guiduo immediately expressed his opposition after listening. At this time, he still had some conscience in his heart, he just wanted to Going back to China to ask for justice, there was no idea of murder, but just a few minutes later, a life was still killed.
It turned out that the head chef Xia Qiyong was disturbed by the movement of the captain’s room. At this time, he had no knowledge of the situation in the captain’s room, but out of curiosity, he walked towards the captain’s room, just as he walked to the door of the captain’s room. At that time, Jiang Xiaolong, who was immediately stopped by Liu Guiduo's arrangement, was stopped.
Jiang Xiaolong also had a knife in his hand. He knew that this action was very important. He said that he would not let Xia Qiyong in. After a scuffle, Jiang Xiaolong stabbed Xia Qiyong’s left leg and buttocks.Xia Qiyong screamed and fell on the deck.
Liu Guiduo walked out of the door and looked at Xia Qiyong who fell on the ground. He felt a little flustered in his heart, but he felt that now that this was the case, there was no way out, so he threw Xia Qiyong into the sea with Jiang Xiaolong. Xia Qiyong struggled in the water for a while, and soon disappeared.
Dead sea
The death of the chef completely distorted the humanity of Liu Guiduo and others. They began to guard the captain’s room strictly and prohibit any crew from coming here. Soon, the rest of the crew It was found that something was wrong, because the ship was turning around and heading north, and the chef suddenly disappeared. Everyone became panicked. Some thought they had encountered pirates, and no one dared to take a look at the captain's room.
In mid-July, under the coercion of Liu Guiduo and others, Li Chengquan had already driven a boat to the waters west of Hawaii, which was less than a month away from the motherland. They were very excited, but they were a little flustered. , After all, one life has been killed on the ship.
It is under the stimulation of this extremely contradictory psychology and tension that the human nature of Liu Guiduo and Bao De is further distorted. They begin to suspect that the other crew members of the management may "rebel" because these people are Li Chengquan's fellow villagers. Buddy.
Liu Guiduo (left)
So, on July 16, Liu Guiduo and Bao De began to instruct their subordinates to clean some of the crew members of the management. Before they started, Liu Guiduo tried to cover up their panic. , Specially put high-pitched music on the rudder building, and then, several crew members related to Li Chengquan were pulled out one by one by Liu Guiduo's people, and then killed with a knife, and the body was thrown into the sea.
In less than two days, the screams will be heard from time to time on the ship, of course, accompanied by the constant high-pitched music, and finally, including the second mate Wu Yongzhong, management Nine crew members, including Wen Dou, were killed by Liu Guiduo and others. Some of them were just ordinary individual crew members. However, because Liu Guiduo and others had been killed in a hurry, these crew members could only die innocently.
On the morning of July 18, just the day after nine people were killed, the university graduate Ma Yuchao, who followed Liu Guiduo in charge of the preparation work, unexpectedly disappeared.
It turned out that Ma Yuchao didn’t take part in the killing personally because he was afraid of killing, but he was just standing guard, but he watched the living people die one after another in front of his eyes. Know what was said.
The next morning, Liu Guiduo and others found that Ma Yuchao was gone, and his diary and luggage were in the place where he lived, and there was no shortage of life jackets on the ship. Everyone suspected that he might have jumped. When the sea is over, the atmosphere becomes more depressing.
completely reduced to a devil
Lu Rongyu 2682 squid fishing boat, driven by Li Chengquan, continued to slowly advance towards the direction of the motherland. By July 24, the ship had already traveled more than 1,000 nautical miles east of Japan. In the Northwest Pacific Ocean, as crew members were killed and missing one after another, the crew on the ship was already in danger.
At this time, Liu Guiduo's "Dalian Gang" and Baode's "Inner Mongolia Gang" also had infighting because of their suspicion. Just a few days ago, Captain Li Chengquan took the initiative to take two fellow villagers to join Liu for self-protection. Guiduo, this gave Liu Guiduo's strength the upper hand.
But Bao De of the "Inner Mongolia Gang" was very jealous of this. He was afraid that Liu Guiduo would take someone to kill himself before returning to China in order to conceal the truth. So, he started to fight with his men. Six fellow villagers conspired and decided to preemptively and find an opportunity to get rid of Liu Guiduo.
There was a traitor among those who could participate in the conspiracy. He felt that the power of Baode and others could not compete with Liu Guiduo, who had an advantage in numbers. For his own safety, he took advantage of the darkness to tell the news. Liu Guiduo.
At this time, Liu Guiduo is no longer the simple and kind-hearted farmer before he boarded the ship. After a series of bloodshed, he was completely reduced to a murderous demon. When he learned that Baode was going to fight When he started, he was furious. That night he personally took four of his men into Baode’s residence with knives and stabbed him in the abdomen several times. After confirming that he had no breath, he was ordered to throw him in. Nautical miles.
crew image,Not Liu Guiduo
Immediately afterwards, Liu Guiduo led the other five members of Baode to jump out of the sea, or stabbed and threw them into the sea, except for the informant who survived. , Baud’s forces were all eliminated overnight. At this time, only 16 crew members were left on the ship, but the killing was not over yet.
In the early morning of July 25, Lu Rongyu 2682 was suddenly in distress. The engine room entered water and lost power. The ship stopped. As the water entered more and more, the hull was seriously unbalanced. This unexpected accident once again stimulated the rest. On the nerves of the people, a chaos began.
Captain Li Chengquan was the first to discover that the ship was flooded. He had just gotten up and was about to go to the toilet. With years of experience in boating, he quickly heard that the machine was abnormal, so he hurried to the bottom of the engine room. Look, there is water everywhere, and Wang Yanlong, who is responsible for the work here, has lost track.
Li Chengquan later told the police that the submarine main valve in the cabin had been opened before the water entered, and Wang Yanlong was responsible for this valve. He suspected that Wang Yanlong could not stand the tension on the ship, so he secretly opened the bottom valve_ span2span, he also jumped into the sea.
Liu Guiduo also felt the imbalance of the hull. He urgently organized the crew to rescue themselves, but at this moment, five crew members wore life jackets and jumped on a homemade raft containing life-saving supplies. , Preparing to flee first, which made Liu Guiduo very angry.
However, what he didn't expect was that under the influence of ocean currents, the raft floated back to the boat. In order to vent their anger, Liu Guiduo and others picked up the iron pendant from the boat and smashed it towards the five crew members on the raft. Four jumped into the sea and were quickly swallowed by the sea, while the remaining one desperately called for help at Liu Guiduo.
The frenzied Liu Guiduo asked someone to pull him back to the boat, and then he was tied to him by an iron pendant and plunged into the sea mercilessly. So far there are only 11 people left on the boat, and these 11 people Both participated in the killing process, but to varying degrees.
Seeing that the ship was sinking, Liu Guiduo couldn't take care of other things in order to survive, so he quickly asked Li Chengquan to send a distress signal to the maritime police department of our country, and this was the scene mentioned at the beginning.
The instrument used for calling for help
Under the full rescue of our maritime police department, Lu Rongyu 2682 was finally towed back to the pier of Rongcheng Shidao Fishing Port in the morning of August 12, 2011. More than a dozen police cars on the wharf were waiting. Public security officers also blocked the wharf. 11 people including Liu Guiduo were escorted back to the public security bureau by police.
The police immediately surveyed Lurongyu 2682 and found that there were human blood stains on the ship. Early the next morning, the police announced to the media that a major criminal case had occurred on the ship.
As a result, the police conducted separate interrogations of Liu Guiduo and other 11 people. At first, they were in a fight and formed an "alliance", and the responsibility for the murder was transferred to the murdered Bao De, but the police felt that this was the case. It's never that simple.
After nearly two years of interrogation, one of Liu Guiduo’s subordinates was afraid that 10 other people would take the lead in telling the truth, which made his crime aggravate. In order to seek clemency, he took the lead in confessing the whole process. In the end, the other 10 People also told the truth one after another.
On July 19, 2013, the People’s Court of Weihai City, Shandong Province made a final judgment against 11 murderers with Liu Guiduo as the core. Five major criminals including Liu Guiduo, Jiang Xiaolong and Li Chengquan were sentenced As for the death penalty, one person with a heavier crime was sentenced to a suspended death sentence, and the remaining five defendants were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 4 to 15 years. The Lu Rongyu 2682 tragedy came to an end.
