Late at night on July 3, 2019, there were basically no vehicles on the streets of Yongcheng City, Henan Province. A BMW was parked at the intersection of East Ring Road and Yongxing Street waiting for a traffic light, and the driver looked down at his mobile phone, and it was already 10:46 p.m.
Through the rearview mirror, he saw the two middle-aged men sitting in the back seat with tired faces, and it seemed that today's work was very hard.
The three of them were gossiping, but they didn't know that danger had crept in at this time.
A speeding Maserati was approaching this direction at a speed of 135 kilometers per hour, and due to the excessive speed, the three people in the BMW car did not have time to react at all, and were knocked dozens of meters away, and the body instantly burst into flames. The loud crash pierced the quiet night of Yongcheng, and the tricycle that had just passed the intersection was even more glad that it had escaped death.
In just a few hours, the tragedy shocked the whole country, and even CCTV followed up on the case.
This is the "Yongcheng Maserati case" that angered and saddened the people of the whole country three years ago.
What happened to this Maserati? Why do you drive so fast? What happened to the survivors of this accident?
On the night of the crime, Tan Mingming organized a bureau to invite his best friend Zhang Xiaoqu and his friend Liu Songtao to a barbecue restaurant for dinner. Because these two people are single, and their family backgrounds are similar, Tan Ming intends to act as a matchmaker and match the two together.
Therefore, the three of them had a very happy meal, and before they knew it, they had already drunk a bottle of red wine, a few bottles of sake, and later felt that they were not happy and drank a lot of beer.
By the time the three of them were full, it was already the dead of night, and there were no more customers in the barbecue restaurant.
After the two people who drank with Tan Mingming left, the proprietress came over with a smile, handed over a business card and said, "Sister, I see that you have been drinking, there are those ** who run for the driver in our store, you call someone to come and drive for you." It's not early in the day, so you should be safe on the road. ”
Tan Mingming didn't take the business card, but went out and walked towards his car. The proprietress grabbed her and persuaded: "Let's call a substitute driver!" Recently, there have been a lot of drunk driving checks! ”
The drunk Tan Mingming looked at the proprietress and suddenly laughed, pointed to his car and said, "My Maserati, I see who can find me if you check for drunk driving!" ”
The proprietress persuaded again and again, but she also knew that people who drank too much could not be persuaded, and the more they were persuaded, the more they would come back, so she helped call the substitute driver. But unexpectedly, before the substitute driver came, Tan Mingming had already driven away.
But not far from the barbecue restaurant, Tan Mingming had an accident in his car.
Because she was in a drunken state, she couldn't accurately identify the direction, the steering wheel was twisted in her hand, and the direction could not be reasonably controlled, so she crashed into a parked car on the side of the road.
Bang Dang! With the sound of a collision, the nearby crowd was quickly attracted by the scrape, and some enthusiastic people hurried over, wanting to stop the Maserati and wait for the arrival of the owner of the collision to negotiate.
Unexpectedly, Tan Mingming not only did not stop to check the scratching situation, but instead added another foot of the accelerator, and then hung up the reverse gear, and quickly left the scene after scratching seven or eight cars in a row.
This made the crowd angry because some of them smelled a very strong smell of alcohol in the car and suspected the driver of drunk driving.
But what if the car has already run away?
You can only choose to call the police and wait for further processing results. But no one knows that another tragedy is about to happen.
The night shrouded in the city, although it was the height of summer, but because it was too late, there were not too many cars on the road, and Tan Mingming drove unconsciously faster.
She was still excited about what had just happened, and she didn't pay any attention to it at all.
Under the influence of alcohol, Tan Mingming's control over the speed of the car became worse and worse, and he didn't even know that he had reached a speed of 135 kilometers per hour.
At this time, Tan Mingming in the car twisted his body to the beat of the passionate ** in the car, and kept cheering, as if he was celebrating.
When the vehicle drove to the intersection of East Ring Road and Yongxing Street, the drunken Tan Mingming suddenly noticed something, and his face tightened and he hurriedly stepped on the brakes.
But because the speed was too fast, the vehicle was still thrown far away because of inertia, and directly knocked the BMW waiting for the traffic light in front of it dozens of meters away.
A loud crash pierced the quiet night of Yongcheng.
After receiving the report from the masses, the police came to the scene of the crime as soon as possible, and 119 and 120 were also quickly dispatched.
The BMW car was violently impacted, the body was broken in two, and Jia Wenhua and Ge Baojing, who were sitting in the back seat, died on the spot. Although the driver Wang Jiaotong barely regained a life from the hands of death, because the vehicle burned after the impact, Wang Jiaotong was burned 40% of the ** area of his body, and he was rushed to the hospital and has been unconscious.
Tan Mingming, who was driving a Maserati, was also sent to the hospital at that time, and after his physical condition recovered slightly, he was controlled by **.
At this time, everyone can't help but ask, isn't Tan Mingming afraid not to be caught when he is drunk driving? Aren't you afraid of drinking and driving and causing accidents? Why didn't you apologize after scratching the car, and actively contacted the owner of the car, but were excited about your departure? Are these unusual behaviors just because they drink too much?
Who is Tan Mingming?
This is probably the question that the people of Yongcheng have the most right to answer, because they are so familiar with the name.
The Tan family is a wealthy businessman in the local area, and since more than 20 years ago, Tan Mingming's grandfather has been engaged in the leather business, and the family's small workshop has been the largest local enterprise.
At the turn of the millennium, the market value of Tan Mingming's grandfather's company was already hundreds of millions.
With such a solid family background, he naturally will not treat his children badly, Tan Mingming was able to grow up in an extremely wealthy situation, whether it is food, clothing or use, it is the best.
And Tan Mingming has also developed extravagant living habits since she was a child, she has never thought about the hard work of her elders to make money, and she only knows that she wants pocket money, and it is six figures when she gives it.
Tan Mingming's family has money, so she has relied on money to solve a lot of things since she was a child, which made her form a wrong outlook on life, that is, you can settle many things with money.
Showing off wealth, acting recklessly, and not learning and not knowing.
These derogatory terms are used in Tan Mingming, although she was born beautifully, her heart is not kind at all.
For her, life is nothing more than buying luxury bags, shoes, and then singing and eating with her so-called friends, and playing until late before returning home.
Didn't the Tan family discipline this child? If a little girl becomes like this, won't the family be sad?
Maybe the Tan family doesn't think there's anything wrong with Tan Mingming doing this.
According to local insiders, Tan Mingming's tannery, which has caused very serious pollution to the local area.
The elders of the family did not hesitate to pollute the local environment in order to make profits, and they did not have the slightest remorse after being discovered, but just thought about how to solve the problem and ensure that their economic interests were not damaged.
How can such a family teach children with three positive views?
After Tan Mingming's accident, during the investigation of the Maserati, it was found that Tan Mingming had violated the rules a total of 18 times in the two years since the time of the incident. In the month of the crime, Tan Mingming had already violated the rules five times.
Not to mention whether the points on her driver's license are enough for her to deduct, just saying that Tan Ming has violated the rules so many times, but still dares to drink and drive, it shows that she has never taken safe driving seriously.
Why did she think that?
must still be influenced by the family, and it has long been a big deal to settle the problem with money. This question is more straightforward in what Tan's father said and did during the follow-up consultation with the victim's family.
So who are the other two people who are with Tan Mingming?
An arrogant and domineering rich second generation like Tan Mingming, who can be called a "friend" with her, is naturally not a good person.
Zhang Xiaoqu, who was just 21 years old at the time of the crime, worked in an enterprise in Yongcheng, and his father was the deputy director of an exchange.
She and Tan Mingming have a close relationship, and the two often appear together in various entertainment venues, and their relationship is as close as sisters.
Another male, Liu Songtao, although his family is not an iron rice bowl, his background is also not simple.
There is a large supermarket chain in Yongcheng, and Liu Songtao is its young owner.
Such three people got together, and finally the stimulation of alcohol led to a **.
After the accident, ** quickly notified the relatives of Jia Wenhua, Ge Baojing and Wang Jiaojiao.
For this thunderbolt on a sunny day, everyone can't accept it.
Jia Wenhua is the principal of a local school and the pillar of his family. He originally had a happy family, and his eldest son had already joined the workforce, and in a few years he might be able to marry and have children.
It's time for the youngest son to go to middle school, and his academic performance has always been at the top, and he has never let his parents worry about it.
His wife, Ms. Qiao, is gentle and virtuous, and the couple have a stable relationship and are happy and envious of others.
A sudden car accident has made this otherwise happy family lifeless. The youngest son's academic performance plummeted, and he often asked his mother if his father would never come back.
Her mother-in-law is over 80 years old, and Ms. Qiao not only has to take care of the children and her mother-in-law, but also has to follow up on her husband's funeral affairs and the follow-up progress of the case.
She was originally happy, but in just a few months, she was several years old, and there was no longer the light of the past in her eyes.
On the other hand, Ge Baojing's home is even more distressing.
Ms. Cheng supported the burden of the family alone, she was afraid that her mother-in-law would not be able to bear it after knowing what happened, so she had to force a smile and say that Ge Baojing was just going out on a business trip to study, and it would take a while to come back, and she had to appease her daughter's mood.
The daughter, who loved to talk and laugh, couldn't accept the news of her father's death, so she hid in her room every day and refused to face it. Later, her mother took her to see a psychiatrist, and after examination, she was diagnosed with severe depression.
The child, who had excellent academic performance and was expected to do well in the college entrance examination next year, was forced to suspend school because of the blow of this incident, and the promising future was destroyed in this way.
But the tragedy in Ge Baojing's family is not only these, the old lady still learned the news of her son's car accident from outsiders. In just twelve days, the old lady left her daughter-in-law and granddaughter because she couldn't bear the huge blow.
A car accident took the lives of Ge Baojing's family and ruined the child's future, how can Ms. Cheng not hate?
Although Wang Jiaotong survived, his family did not live better than these two families.
Since he was hospitalized, Wang Jiaotong has been resuscitating, but his condition is very critical, the hospital has issued critical illness notices many times, and has repeatedly told his family that the injured may die at any time.
What made the Wang family feel even more desperate was the expensive medical expenses.
Since Wang Jiaotong was sent to the hospital, spending money is like running water, and the Wang family's family conditions can't support it at all.
There was no way, Wang Jiaojiao's wife decided to sell the family's house, land and everything that could be sold in exchange for her husband's life-saving money.
But that's not enough.
My mother-in-law is a farmer, and she doesn't have much ability to make money, let alone anyone with money and background. She really had no choice, she just wanted to save her son, so she took her grandson and kowtowed to beg people to borrow money from house to house.
At this time, she no longer cares about face, she only has to raise money in her heart, so that she can save her son.
But these blows are actually not enough to make them feel cold compared to another thing, that is, the attitude of the Tan family.
Since the accident, no one in the Tan family has approached the victim's family, nor has they offered compensation. It was not until the end that under the coordination of the relevant units, the Tan family came forward for the first time.
Because of this incident, the three families hated the Tan family to the core, and every time they mentioned the name Tan Mingming, their eyes were full of anger.
When asked what they thought, they invariably replied that they didn't want anything, they just wanted Tan Mingming to be executed.
But what people didn't expect was that just because of Tan Mingming's father's words, these three families actually had a disagreement, why is this?
Just when the three families were immersed in the pain of losing their loved ones and treating their loved ones, the Tan family actually never stopped.
They are also very busy, but they are not busy on the right path, nor are they busy consoling the victims' families, but they are thinking about dealing with **.
After the Maserati case broke out, various families in many parts of the country reported on the incident, and the people of the whole country also knew about this shocking case.
For this reason, the term "Yongcheng Maserati" frequently occupies the top spot, and netizens in the comment area denounced Tan Mingming's evil deeds, and one after another, insiders began to break the news about the Tan family's background.
If this trend continues, it will do more harm to the Tan family than good. So the Tan family was busy withdrawing the hot search, and what they thought about was still solving it with money.
So much so that when the two parties coordinated the compensation, Tan's father directly said that if he wanted compensation, he could sign a letter of understanding.
It was this sentence that made the three families who were originally united have differences.
For Ms. Cheng and Ms. Qiao, they only hoped that Tan Mingming could pay for his life and comfort the souls of his relatives, so they refused to sign the letter of understanding.
But for Wang Jiaojiao's family, this is not the case.
Wang Jiaotong is still lying in the emergency room at the moment, and needs a lot of money to treat his illness.
And through the ** investigation, although Tan Mingming herself often shows off her wealth and continues to have luxury goods, she actually does not have any property in her name, and even the Maserati she opened is in the name of one of her uncles.
The court demanded compensation and could only liquidate Tan Mingming's property, so it could not make substantial compensation to the victim's family.
But when everyone saw the arrogant attitude of the Tan family, and saw their face that they could handle everything with money, they only felt a chill in their hearts.
But what can they do?
The deceased have left, and the living must live well after all.
In the end, the three families agreed to issue a letter of understanding, and Wang Jiaotong's wife also got the life-saving money, and Wang Jiaotong was finally out of danger after being rescued in the hospital for ten months.
This is the best news that the three families have ever heard.
After Tan Mingming got the letter of understanding issued by the victim's family, he naturally got a bargaining chip for commutation.
Subsequently, the local procuratorate prosecuted the three people, and the local procuratorate prosecuted Tan Mingming and the three on what charges it took, which became the topic of most concern to everyone.
Generally, drunk driving is convicted of dangerous driving, and the maximum sentence usually does not exceed seven years.
However, in the course of the prosecution, the public prosecution held that Tan Mingming knew the dangers of drunk driving but still did so, flouted traffic laws and regulations, ignored driving safety, and ultimately caused serious consequences of 2 deaths and 4 injuries, and should be sentenced to the crime of endangering public safety.
This crime carries a maximum penalty of death.
On November 6, 2020, 492 days after the incident, the case was finally decided. sentenced the defendant Tan Mingming to life imprisonment and deprivation of political rights for life; Defendant Liu Songtao was sentenced to three years imprisonment, suspended for three years; Defendant Zhang Xiaoqu was sentenced to three years imprisonment, suspended for three years.
However, after the news came out, some netizens with relevant legal majors interpreted that the minimum term of life imprisonment is 13 years, so after 13 years, will the Tan family find a way to bail Tan Mingming out? None of this is yet known.
Tan Ming will have today's consequences, and she is completely to blame, but shouldn't her family reflect on it?
If it weren't for the connivance of her parents, and if it weren't for the wrong ideas instilled by her elders, how could a girl with a great future become a demon with blood on her hands?
Remember, habitual children are like killing children, Tan Mingming's incident should become a wake-up call for parents!
