Xizhimen, one of the nine ancient gates in the capital, carries the historical memory of the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties who sent water by water wheels, and is commonly known as the "Water Gate".
However, on March 11, 1992, this ancient and quiet gate suddenly became the focus of the capital, and a shocking case occurred, which shook the whole city.
In March 1992, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, as the capital's public security and garrison department, received an urgent directive to quickly crack down on fugitives who had slipped through the net, so as to eliminate potential security risks.
At 11:30 p.m. on March 11, the Municipal Public Security Bureau learned of the information provided by the informant, revealing the movements of Wang Lianping's gangsters who had been wanted by **. The source pointed out that the gang planned to have dinner and drink at the Tongle Hotel on Xizhimennei Street at noon on the same day.
And this dinner is not an ordinary social occasion, but to prepare for a hooligan fight with the gangsters of the Northeast. The cause of this conflict can be traced back to the day before, when members of Wang Lianping's gang were reselling cigarettes at the gate of the zoo, they were attacked by a group of northeastern hooligans.
After learning this information, Wang Lianping scolded angrily: "Spreading wild in Lao Tzu's territory, it seems that they are tired of living!" ”
Wang Lianping is a fledgling street gangster who has become a celebrity in Beijing's Xiyuan area around the age of 20. Since junior high school, he has frequently been involved in picking quarrels and provoking troubles, fighting and fighting, and has been hit by ** many times. In 1991, he and others carried out a roadblock robbery in Haidian District with a knife, so he was wanted.
Although he was arrogant in the local territory, outside of this, he was just a small range of ruffians, and he did not have the courage to confront ** when he left this territory.
According to the insider's secret report, Wang Lianping was wearing a pair of light yellow new leather shoes and a black leather jacket that day. Considering that most of the police officers were not familiar with him at the time of his arrest, these characteristics had to be clarified.
Before the arrest was carried out, through the intelligence of the informant, they learned that the number of people at the dinner was about four or five, and it was estimated that they were carrying murder weapons such as daggers and sticks, and possibly one **, but this was not enough to pose a threat to **.
At that time, ** was convinced of the accuracy of the intelligence and understood that the arrest mission could not be missed. Therefore, this mission was entrusted to Yin Guozhi, deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Department, to lead an elite team to carry out.
Yin Guozhi is an experienced criminal police veteran, and it was lunchtime. After receiving the emergency order, he immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, led 10 criminal policemen (one criminal policeman was responsible for driving), and quickly rushed to the target.
In the 90s, the law and order situation was relatively complicated. Although Beijing enjoys a relatively good security situation as the capital, in order to ensure safety, Deputy Captain Yin and criminal police officer Xiao Liang both carried a Type 64 pistol.
The Type 64 pistol is small and exquisite, easy to conceal and carry, and the sound is small when shooting, so it is nicknamed "small smashing artillery" by the majority of public security police.
Even though the mission only involves a few petty hooligans, ** understands that the capture must be 100% successful. To this end, 10 well-trained criminal police officers carried two "small smashing cannons", which it is believed that this is enough to produce sufficient deterrent power. After all, this well-trained squad should be able to deal with a small minion with ease.
Half an hour later, at around 12:20, the arrest team quickly arrived at Xizhimen. In order to prevent their identities from being revealed, most of the criminal police officers were dressed in plain clothes, and some were still wearing police uniforms because they did not have time to change their clothes. The police car was parked on the side of the road 200 meters from the hotel, and everything was ready
Deputy Captain Yin ordered the driver not to leave the vehicle, and the vehicle kept the engine running to ensure that it could be activated at any time for emergency response.
In order to gain an in-depth understanding of the situation and carry out precise arrests, Deputy Director Yin showed rich command experience. He immediately dispatched two criminal police officers to infiltrate plainclothes and quickly went to the scene to conduct reconnaissance.
Just a few minutes later, several criminal policemen hurriedly returned and urgently reported: "The information is wrong!" ”
What happened? ”
The target number is inaccurate, at least 20 people. ”
It turned out that the insider who provided the information made a mistake, claiming that Wang Lianping might only have four or five accomplices with him. 11 police officers seemed to be enough, but suddenly there were so many more people, which caught the criminal police officers on the scene off guard.
Later, I learned that in order to ensure that there were enough manpower, Wang Lianping temporarily summoned some assistants to come to support. And whether these people carry danger **, no one can be sure.
11 to 20, the detectives felt the disparity in strength, but now it was too late to call for reinforcements. Yin Guozhi immediately made a decision, no matter how many enemies there were, block the exit first.
The problem, however, is that this Tung Lok Hotel has two exits, as well as floor-to-ceiling windows. If the gangsters feel hopeless, they can run away at any time. This makes it quite difficult to surround them all at once.
Therefore, Deputy Captain Yin decisively decided to divide the 10 criminal policemen into 3 groups and block the front and rear doors and windows respectively.
Just when they had just finished the arrangement and dispersed, Deputy Captain Yin saw the four of them walking out of the hotel.
The criminal policemen recognized the person walking in front at a glance: light yellow leather shoes, black leather jacket, isn't it Wang Lianping? With a cigarette in his mouth and a figure-eight step, he is full of hooligan style.
The main task this time is to capture him, and he must not escape. Yin Guozhi immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered the two criminal policemen Xiao Xie and Xiao Liu beside him: "Catch them first." ”
So, three criminal policemen quickly walked towards them.
When they were a few steps away, the criminal policeman Xiao Xie shouted loudly: "Wang Lianping." ”
The leading man turned his head and saw the three strange men, and after confirming that it was Wang Lianping, the three criminal policemen pounced like arrows from the string, and instantly knocked the four of them to the ground.
Wang Lianping was stunned by the sudden scene, but soon he understood what was happening. He immediately shouted loudly: "Come out, someone is coming!" ”
At that time, several men were pinned to the ground, and the criminal police took out handcuffs one after another to handcuff them. Capture the thief and capture the king first, and the primary goal of controlling Wang Lianping first, it will be easy for other subordinates to deal with.
However, to the surprise of Deputy Captain Yin and the others, more than a dozen young men suddenly poured out of the hotel, shouting frantically as they rushed out: "In **? Kill them. ”
The gangsters are so bold that they openly confront the criminal police, are they living too arrogantly?
As it turned out later, it was all a pure misunderstanding. Because most of the ten criminal policemen were dressed in civilian clothes, and Wang Lianping's hooligans mistakenly thought that they were hooligans from the Northeast gang, they took the initiative to attack in advance.
At that time, the situation was urgent, and if Deputy Director Yin and others shouted: "We are the police." "Probably scare off at least half of the hooligans. But Yin Guozhi chose to wipe out these hooligans first, and did not reveal his identity. However, this decision led to the situation quickly spiraling out of control.
At noon, Wang Lianping and his gang were reveling, planning ill-intentioned how to get rid of the group of northeastern hooligans. They believe that only through ruthless means can they occupy a place in the "hooligan world". However, their plans were unexpectedly challenged.
This group of Northeast hooligans dared to run to our territory, smash our yard, and press the ringleader to the ground and rub it, I really don't know whether to live or die! Dude, hurry up and prepare guys, otherwise you will have to bow your head and be humiliated in the future! Come on! The tall leader roared, stirring up excitement.
The hooligans were red-faced, laughing with the smell of wine, and rushed up. Among this group of fanatical hooligans, Yin Guozhi and the others did not feel timid, because they had already prepared, and they had two "small smashing cannons" hidden in their pockets, and once they were used, they would definitely make this group of restless hooligans scatter and flee.
However, things turned out more than they expected. The tall man who rushed to the front suddenly pulled out a gun from his arms, a five-shot shotgun with a sawn off the handle. It turned out that Wang Lianping and his gang had never had a hard encounter with this group of Northeast hooligans before, but they had heard that they had shotguns, were tall and extremely fierce. In order to ensure the odds of victory, Wang Lianping borrowed five five-shot shotguns and earthen guns.
These situations are actually not known before the incident, and they are indeed wise sayings that know oneself and know one's opponent and win all battles.
And at the critical moment when the hooligan took out his gun, a policeman named Xiao Liu, a criminal policeman, accidentally witnessed this scene and immediately reminded the captain loudly: "Captain, be careful, that person is holding a gun." ”
Before the words fell, a "bang" sounded, and a bullet accurately hit Yin Guozhi's head, and the hooligan took the lead in firing a criminal shot.
In such an emergency situation, once someone fires the first shot, who can be sure that there will not be a second shot?
Blood immediately gushed out from Yin Guozhi's head, and he felt a sharp pain.
At this time, Yin Guozhi's mind was still clear, he touched the blood flowing from his head, and then quickly reached for the pistol on his waist.
Bang" sounded again, and the hooligan fired another shot, this time hitting Captain Yin Guozhi in the chest.
For ordinary people, it is already difficult to withstand two bullets in his body, but Yin Guozhi, as a guard of the capital, still holds Wang Lianping tightly and does not waver.
However, the hooligan didn't give him a chance to draw his gun to fight back at all, and a moment later, "bang" was another shot, and the third shot directly hit Captain Yin Guozhi in the face.
At this time, Vice Captain Yin Guozhi's brain and body had been severely traumatized, and it was no longer possible to support him, and he finally fell to the ground on his back.
Some people may wonder, why did Vice Captain Yin Guozhi fail to use the "small smashing cannon" in his hand to counterattack?
Considering that the gangster's three shots occurred in an instant at that time, and Yin Guozhi was holding down Wang Lianping with all his might, the hooligan preemptively made him have no time to draw his gun and shoot back.
At the moment when Yin Guozhi was knocked down, the criminal policeman Xiao Ren happened to be the closest to him, and he quickly pounced and tried to grab Yin Guozhi's pistol in order to fight back.
However, at this time, another hooligan armed with a double-barreled shotgun aimed at the criminal policeman Xiao Ren, and fired both shots in unison.
*！"Suddenly, nearly a hundred handmade shotguns let out a crisp gunshot, instantly hitting Xiao Ren's waist and abdomen, and the powerful impact made him fall to the ground involuntarily.
Seeing this, the criminal policeman Xiao Zhang quickly ran over and tried to take out Deputy Captain Yin's pistol. However, it was too late. Before Zhang could unlock the insurance, a hooligan armed with a five-shot shotgun ran out of the hotel and fired two shots at Zhang in a row.
Zhang was knocked down instantly, and his right arm and ribs were covered with shotgun bullets.
At the critical moment, several other bare-handed criminal policemen did not flinch, tightly restrained several of the hooligans, and refused to let go.
However, the hooligans who fired the shots did not intend to stop, because there were several other hooligans who were controlled by the criminal police, and they began to shoot at the other criminal policemen continuously.
Bang bang bang "Criminal policeman Xiao Li's right arm was instantly broken by a bullet, and criminal policeman Xiao Zhu's face was covered with blood and he was shot in the head.
And a small smashing cannon in **? Which detective is carrying it? Hurry up! You may be in a hurry, but I am more anxious than you.
Yes, and a pistol! Isn't it a pity that two guns didn't shoot a single bullet?
The pistol was carried by the detective Xiao Liang at the time, and at the beginning of the shootout, he was ambushed at the back door, because there were three groups, and the three of them were responsible for guarding the back door.
At the moment when the first hooligan fired, Xiao Liang *** stopped one of the hooligans and grabbed the shotgun in his hand. Then, Xiao Liang quickly rushed to the front door with a gun.
However, due to the large number of hooligans, he was knocked down by a hooligan who was lying in ambush in the shadows as soon as he ran near the front door. He was hit in the face and several shotguns went into Xiao Liang's temple, leaving him unconscious on the spot.
There were only two pistols in total, and the carriers were knocked to the ground by the hooligans, and the situation was very critical!
Seeing this scene, more than a dozen hooligans rushed out of the hotel, armed with wooden sticks, daggers and other murder weapons, and beat the criminal police who could not fight back, and the remaining four criminal policemen were injured because of the lack of numbers.
Of course, Wang Lianping was also taken away by hooligans in the chaos and took the opportunity to escape.
At this time, the gang of hooligans noticed that the people who were beaten did not seem to be the group from the Northeast, why were there still people in handcuffs? One of them was even wearing a police uniform?
Oops! They are the police! Several hooligans exclaimed in unison, their voices trembling with fear.
It's over, something big has happened!! Come on! "Frightened, a group of hooligans quickly blended into the crowd on the streets.
At this time, the criminal police saw that the hooligans were about to escape, and the criminal police Xiaoge snatched the pistol of Captain Yin Guozhi and prepared to shoot back. But at that time, he was also injured by a stick, and although the injuries were minor, he still had combat effectiveness.
The hooligans have already blended into the crowd at this time, coupled with the dense and bustling streets in Xizhimen, once the gun is fired, it is difficult to avoid accidentally injuring innocent citizens. Xiao Ge had no choice but to shoot a warning shot into the sky.
Seeing that the hooligans had fled, some people hurriedly came to the aid of the injured criminal police.
Because the crime occurred in the daytime, hundreds of people witnessed the entire scene of attacking the police from afar and near. Many passers-by were also hit by shotgun bullets and avoided them. The window of a passing trolleybus was also shattered by a bullet.
The gunfire at Xizhimen instantly shook the entire capital.
Urgent arrest. After the emergency arrest took place, the relevant leaders of Beijing Municipality rushed to the scene and launched a tense and difficult struggle.
According to the data, a total of 11 criminal police officers participated in the operation, of which the driver was on standby in the car according to the regulations, and the remaining 10 people were all injured, of which 6 were subjected to **, 4 were attacked with iron rods and other murder weapons, and 3 of them were seriously injured.
In this fierce conflict, Captain Yin Guozhi was seriously injured in the head, his whole face was dripping with blood, his right eye had disappeared, and his left eye was also hit, and his vision was completely lost. He was shot in the head several times, 7 of which were embedded in the right brain, and his life was in danger, causing Yin Guozhi to fall into a coma for a long time. After the emergency surgery, he was still in a dying state and became a vegetative being.
However, after a year of stubborn resistance, Captain Yin Guozhi miraculously woke up. However, the fierce battle left him with lifelong disability and an almost complete loss of vision.
Criminal policeman Xiao Ren was also attacked by nearly 100 shotguns and underwent more than ten surgeries, but there were still many ** deep into the nerves and blood vessels that could not be removed. Another police officer was disabled for life when a bullet shattered his pelvis.
In the face of such rampant gangsters, the severity of their crimes has aroused the extreme anger of the leaders concerned. In the afternoon of the same day, the city bureau held an emergency meeting to formulate emergency arrangements for arrest and detection.
Since most of the suspects are local residents, on the day of the crime, the suspect named Gan Moufa ** was taken to the interrogation room. Gan confessed to the incident, saying that he had fled the scene when the gunshots rang out, denied attacking the police, and claimed that he was only invited to participate in the fight.
In the tracking, a number of suspects have been imprisoned. During the interrogation, the criminals showed all kinds of begging, crying, kneeling, swearing, etc., showing their embarrassed side.
After a rigorous investigation, ** gradually grasped the details of the time of the crime. Among them, Zhao Yanguo was identified as the first criminal to attack Yin Guozhi, and he currently lives near the Huiya Restaurant in the Asian Games Village. During the arrest of **, Zhao Yanguo was found drinking in a restaurant. Faced with the appearance of the police, he panicked, hurriedly jumped out of the window to escape, hijacked the taxi with a knife, and ran wildly on the highway.
After more than 10 minutes of fierce chase, ** successfully stopped the taxi. At this time, Zhao Yanguo knew that he could not escape death, and he was extremely vicious, and forced the taxi to hit the police car desperately with a dagger. Due to the front and rear of many police cars, Zhao Yanguo was finally arrested surrounded by the criminal police.
After Zhao Yanguo was captured, he quickly confessed that his accomplices Dong Shizeng and Zhao Yingtao were also involved in the crime of shooting.
Dong Shizeng is a criminal who specializes in selling guns, and he ** the guns used by gangsters. Another person involved in the case, named Yu Yuezhong, was hit by his own person because he accidentally injured his arm, and fled the scene with Wang Lianping.
These four criminals are the core members of Wang Lianping's gang, who have been at large for a long time, committed crimes, and have been released many times, continuing to endanger society, and their crimes are unspeakable.
In the confession afterwards, the four people realized that their crimes were extremely serious, and quickly hid in the home of Jiang Mouquan, an accomplice of the Blue Indigo Factory in Haidian District.
Jiang Mouquan is a seasoned character with a lot of experience. When he learned that ** was about to find them, Jiang Mouquan quickly gave them 300 yuan, hoping to get rid of his suspicion in this way.
Next, under the cover of night, they hurried to the residence of a female fruit seller and hid.
The female fruit seller's name is Yang Mouping, and Wang Lianping is usually known as the Tie sister and brother. It is said that Wang Lianping once helped Yang Mouping when a land hooligan teased him, and the two formed a deep relationship.
However, this time the situation was different, Wang Lianping did not dare to tell Yang Mouping the truth, so he had to lie that they had a conflict with hooligans, accidentally injured one of them's arm, and needed to hide with Yang Mouping for a few days.
Yang Mouping took these four people and returned to her rural hometown in Qingyuan County, Baoding at night. Since she has a relative who works as a doctor at the local hospital, she can help** their gunshot wounds.
However, as soon as they arrived in Baoding, at 4 o'clock in the morning, Beijing ** came in the rain and surrounded Yang Mouping's family.
Yang Mouping's hometown is a large compound, which is surrounded by a three-meter-high courtyard wall. One detective quickly climbed over the wall and opened the door, followed by the other detectives.
The criminal police knew that these hooligans were carrying shotguns, but they did not hesitate in the face of what happened to their comrades who had been injured. At the moment when ** broke in, the door of a bungalow opened, and a woman was about to fall down with her face wash water.
This woman is none other than Yang Mouping.
She suddenly saw that the courtyard was full of police, and she was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Get up quickly, someone is coming to arrest you!" ”
A policeman pinned her to the ground, and the other detectives broke down the door and shouted, "We are police!" Move to death! At this time, Wang Lianping, Zhao Yingtao and Yu Yuezhong were still asleep on the earthen kang and had not yet reacted, and several criminal policemen quickly put them on the ground. An earthen grenade, a loaded five-shot shotgun, and a sharp dagger were found at the scene.
Homemade grenades.
How exactly were these four suspects caught? After repeated searches, the criminal police finally found Dong Shizeng, who was wearing only **, under the bed in a nearby bungalow.
It turned out that Dong Shizeng was extremely vigilant, and as soon as the wind blew and the grass was low, he quickly got up and hid. After hearing Yang Xiaoping's shouting, he quickly escaped outside the house through the window, and found that there were criminal police all around, Dong Shizeng quickly hid in this bungalow, and then deftly rolled under the bed.
As a result of these efforts, all four suspects were apprehended.
The criminal police carried out a continuous operation for three days and three nights, and finally arrested more than 20 hooligans involved in the case, and only one small minion escaped to the field for a month, but he was also brought to justice after that.
This series of actions ended the unsolved case of the "311" Xizhimen shootout and completely uncovered the mystery.
On May 26, 1992, the Beijing Intermediate People's Court held a meeting to announce the verdict. The main culprits Wang Lianping, Dong Shizeng, Zhao Yanguo, and Zhao Yingtao were sentenced to death; Yu Mouzhong and Liu Moulin were sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve; Gan Moufa was sentenced to life imprisonment, and Zhu Moujing and Lu Moufeng were sentenced to 17 years in prison. At the same time, Li, Ji Mouzhen, Lu Mouming, Yang Mouping, and Jiang Mouquan, who harbored criminals and secretly possessed firearms, were also sentenced to 2 to 7 years in prison.
In this case, the criminal police fought to the death to maintain social stability and the safety of people's lives and property despite the disparity in the strength of the police and bandits, regardless of their personal safety. Their heroic struggle, their blood was not shed in vain, they deserve their name, and they are heroic defenders of the people!
