Review of Yangjiang City Murder Case: The murderer accidentally killed someone because of his loyalty. What happened after he absconded for 24 years?

Affected by Typhoon Bailijia, Yangchun, which has entered autumn, still feels very muggy.

At around 4 pm that day, a special police car drove into Renmin Road, Chunwan Town, Yangchun City, guided by a police car. As soon as the car stopped, it suddenly started pouring rain. Although it rained heavily, many people gathered on both sides of the street.

After 20 minutes, the rain lightened up a little. Under the custody of multiple police officers, two brothers, Tan Moulong and Qin Moujian, who were handcuffed and shackled, stepped out of the special police car one after another. At this time, the people on the street began to whisper and discuss something. Walking on the street, the two Qin brothers lowered their heads and occasionally glanced secretly at passers-by, seemingly looking for familiar faces. Hanging above the street entrance were two slogans: "Public Security Officers' Amazing Deeds of More than 20 Years Are Finally Revealed" and "The People's Police's Gratitude Is Unforgettable and Their Hard Work in Solving Murder Cases" brought the focus of public discussion back to that night 24 years ago...

Committing a murder for the sake of brotherly loyalty

In June 1992, Qin Moujian, who was excellent in both morals and academics, was admitted to the junior college of Jinan University with excellent results, studying foreign economics in the Department of Economics. Management Specialist. For the Qin family, whose ancestors grew up in a mountain village, this is a precious opportunity to change their destiny. Neighbors in the village rushed to tell each other and came to congratulate one after another.

In the blink of an eye, three years of junior college study are over. In May 1994, Qin Moujian successfully graduated and was waiting for a job assignment at home. Famous college students in the early 1990s were very popular in rural towns, and the working conditions they were assigned were naturally very favorable.

Life is like a long voyage. When encountering wind and waves, if you fail to steer correctly, the ship will sail into the abyss.

The evening of October 22, 1994, for Qin Moujian, was the beginning of a nightmare that had haunted him for more than 20 years. At around 10 o'clock that night, he and his younger brother Qin Moulong were watching TV at home. Suddenly, the phone at home rang frequently, and every time it was my younger brother who answered the phone. Qin Moujian found that his brother looked nervous after answering the phone. His younger brother Qin Molong told him that his friend Chen Moucheng had a conflict with someone else and wanted to go out and have a look. Qin Moujian couldn't persuade his younger brother, but he was worried that something might happen to his younger brother, so he followed his younger brother out of the house.

Qin Moujian said frankly that due to the financial difficulties of his family at that time, in order to support himself in college, his younger brother started working in society after graduating from junior high school. After entering the society, Qin Moulong, who was in his teens, became restless. He often went with some idle people in society, and sometimes participated in "collection" debt collection.

According to Qin Moulong’s later recollection, that night, his friend Chen Moucheng had a quarrel with Li Mouxiong at the door of his home because of a dispute and asked him to come over and help.

After Qin Moujian followed his younger brother to the door of Chen Moucheng’s house, he saw several people making noises and pushing and beating. For the sake of brotherly loyalty, after arriving at the scene, the two brothers Qin Moulong and Qin Moujian also intervened in the quarrel, and the atmosphere became more and more intense. "During the quarrel, my thigh was stabbed twice by Li Mouxiong." Qin Moujian said that it had been too long and he could no longer remember the details of the situation at that time. Instantly, the quarrel turned into a fight and a chase with knives. In the end, Li Mouxiong was chased by Chen Moucheng, Qin Molong and others with knives. He fell in the living room of Chen Moucheng's house and died of excessive bleeding.

The police have been chasing for 24 years

After the incident, the Spring Bay Police Station in the jurisdiction immediately organized police forces to rush to the scene, but the suspect involved in the case had already fled the scene. That night, the Criminal Police Brigade of the Yangchun City Public Security Bureau on the one hand organized police forces to rush to the scene to conduct investigations, and on the other hand sent police forces to set up checkpoints at major intersections to intercept suspicious persons. But until dawn, there was still no trace of the suspect.

“At that time, the household registration information was all handwritten, and there was no computerization, let alone the Internet.” The police involved in the investigation at the time recalled that after the suspect absconded, he seemed to have disappeared from the world, and he never contacted his family. . The police investigation at the time also found that Qin Moujian and Qin Moulong's parents could not bear the strange looks from the villagers and the scolding from the deceased's family members, so they secretly left their hometown and moved to a different city.

In 2002, after computer networking became popular in the police force, the police who had been pursuing the case for 8 years used the Internet to chase the suspects involved in the case. In 2007, Liang Guobiao took a temporary job from the Yangchun City Public Security Bureau to the Chunwan Police Station. Since joining the public security work in 1996, he has been very concerned about this case.

Therefore, after arriving at the police station, he and his colleagues spent several years re-analyzing the case and tracking the suspects, but they still had no information. In 2011, the National Public Security Bureau's "Operation Clearance" was launched. Taking this opportunity, Yangchun police continued to organize police forces to investigate the whereabouts of the suspects in the case. Based on the clues they obtained, they successively organized police forces to rush to many cities and towns in the province. Hunted in Guangxi, Hunan and other places. During this period, the pursuing police officers rushed to Jinan University, Qin's alma mater, hoping to obtain more information here. But at the school, the police found nothing except a one-inch ID photo taken by Tan Moujian when he was a student.

As time goes by, the policemen of the Criminal Police Brigade of Yangchun City Public Security Bureau have been replaced one after another. Some have retired and some have been rotated. Until 2018, the policemen handling the case had been replaced. 6 batches. Even so, the people have changed, but the case is still in the hands of the police.

This is also the spirit of the criminal police - never stop tracking the case until it is solved.

Smart new police officers “recognized” the murderer in the crowd

In 2018, the city’s public security organs vigorously carried out the “2018 Hurricane” special operation and smart new police work. With the development of smart new policing, Yangchun Public Security Bureau’s “face recognition” assisting investigation technology has achieved a breakthrough.

“The arrival of smart new police services has helped us solve bottlenecks that could not be broken through with backward technology.” Qin Tian, ??the current criminal police captain of the Yangchun City Public Security Bureau, said with emotion. Tan Tian, ??who has been on the front line of solving the case, is also keeping a close eye on this case. After the launch of Operation "Hurricane" in 2018, he asked the Criminal Police Intelligence Information Research Team to sort out the backlog of unsolved cases in previous years one by one, and to focus on the backlog of fugitives to conduct research and analysis to find traces.

“The only valuable clue in this case was this one-inch ID photo.” Luo Hui from the information research team found the yellowed one-inch ID photo and showed it to reporters. The man in the photo is Qin Moujian, who was 20 years old at the time. Compared with Qin Moujian 24 years later, there is a huge difference. But Luo Hui just stared at this photo. Whether he was at work, off work, on weekends, or on vacation, he sat in front of the computer and searched, compared, and searched through smart new police technology.

“After layers of comparisons and screenings, we finally narrowed the scope to more than 100 people.” Luo Hui said excitedly. After comparing more than 100 people in the huge crowd, he and his colleagues were already very happy. Excited. In order to continuously narrow down the scope, Luo Hui and his colleagues conducted detailed investigations on more than 100 people from all over the country.

"We are very cautious in excluding everyone. As long as there are doubts, we will continue to investigate until the doubts are eliminated." Luo Hui said that they started with more than 100 subjects and eliminated the remaining 90, 70, 60, 40, 20... When there were more than 10 people left, the computer also encountered a bottleneck. Therefore, the Criminal Police Team decided to organize police forces and rush to the residences of more than 10 suspicious objects to conduct on-site investigations. Since they were just suspicious objects, when the police officers arrived at various places, they could only use the photo to disguise themselves and secretly investigate one by one.

After several months of peripheral investigation, the police handling the case once again conducted a comprehensive analysis, judgment and comparison of the collected information.

With this comparison, the case has made a major breakthrough. After eliminating all doubts, all aspects of the information about a man in Beipiao, Liaoning were very similar to the person the police were looking for. After grasping this situation, the policeman handling the case was so excited that he could not sleep all night long and continued to further investigate the man's information throughout the night. The next day, the task force immediately organized several capable police officers to rush to Beipiao, Liaoning. In order not to alert the enemy, after communicating with the local police, the police handling the case launched a secret investigation into the man's situation.

After six trips to Beipiao for investigation and the target was finally determined, the task force decided to take arrest action. On July 2 this year, Liang Guobiao and several plainclothes police officers appeared in the community where Qin Moujian lived.

At around 6 o'clock that night, Liang Guobiao found a family of three entering the community from outside. The man's expression and appearance caught his attention. "Qin Moujian." When the man was about to enter the elevator of the community building, Liang Guobiao, who was standing next to the elevator, called to the man. After hearing this name, Qin Moujian suddenly stopped and looked at Liang Guobiao and others warily. After learning that Liang Guobiao and others came from the Yangchun City Public Security Bureau, Qin Moujian's face immediately darkened. "This day has come." After saying a few words to his wife and son beside him, Qin Moujian followed the police into the police car.

Subsequently, Qin Moujian's younger brother, Qin Moulong, was also arrested in Beipiao.

Hidden anonymity and not seen his parents for 24 years

Where did the two Qin brothers escape to on the night of the incident? How did they spend the 24 years on the run?

In the interrogation room of the Yangchun City Detention Center, the two Qin brothers recalled their 24 years of absconding to the police.

It turned out that after the incident that night, Qin Moujian realized that something serious had happened. In panic, he and his younger brother Qin Moulong quickly fled the scene under the cover of night.

That night, the two Qin brothers did not even dare to return home. Instead, they fled all the way to Helang and Songbai. Because he suffered a knife wound on his leg, when he fled to the Songbai Road section, Qin Moujian gave a simple bandage in a drugstore halfway, and then continued to abscond in the direction of Yunfu.

At 3 a.m. the next day, they fled to Yunan, Yunfu. Since they didn't have ID cards and didn't have much money with them, Tan Moujian and his brother didn't dare to stay. Instead, they spent several days and nights in local parks and street pavilions. Subsequently, the two Qin brothers parted ways and each went to work in Zhongshan, Guangzhou, Foshan and other Pearl River Delta cities.

Because they don’t have ID cards, they choose jobs that include food and accommodation. According to the confession of the two Qin brothers, in order to evade pursuit, they did not dare to do long-term work at first, and they all did manual labor such as transportation. And every once in a while, they would move to other cities to find work.

“I have spent more than 20 years in fear and have nightmares every night.” Qin Moujian recalled the escape route, covered his face and cried bitterly. In 1999, while working in a factory, Qin Moujian met a girl from Liaoning and established a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend. Later, Qin Moujian followed his girlfriend to Beipiao, Liaoning Province, and soon got married and gave birth to a son.

After having a family, Qin Moujian cherished the life he had at that time even more and became more cautious when going out. For 24 years, he never dared to go home to visit his parents. "My wife is very good, and my son is about to take the college entrance examination. His grades are very good and he can be admitted to a prestigious domestic university. What I am most worried about is that my affairs will affect his study." Talking about relatives, Qin said The people who feel most ashamed and sorry are his wife and his child who are in their senior year of high school. When the police first took him away from his community, he just gently told his wife and son that he had committed something wrong before and that he would go back and cooperate with the investigation. "I'm very sorry to the family of the deceased. Don't act impulsively, otherwise it will affect many people." Qin Moujian regretted.

“I hope they are healthy and live longer, and we can repay the kindness of raising them when we come out.” Talking about his parents in their 70s, Qin Moulong choked with sobs.
