On December 26, 2019, many Chinese ** reported the inconspicuous news that a 40-year-old Chinese man had been executed in Japan for intentional homicide.
What many people don't know is that this Chinese man who was executed in Japan once injured a family of four in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan in 2003 and personally created a tragedy of "annihilation".
The man's name was Wei Wei, and he had attended a vocational school in Japan. After he personally created the destruction of the door, he even absconded back to China for a time and hid.
And when the Japanese law enforcement officers recorded Wei Wei's last words, this guy only left one word of his last words. So much so that to this day, there are still many people who have a lot of controversy about this murderer.
And all this starts with Wei Wei himself.
Youth on the road of no return
Wei Wei was born in 1979 in Henan Province, China. His father ran a small factory in his hometown, and the business was not bad. Therefore, Wei Wei's family has the financial foundation to send him abroad.
But Wei Wei has been very stubborn since he was a child, so that he was not able to enter college smoothly after graduating from high school. In desperation, his father could only send Wei Wei into the army, hoping that he could get some sharpening.
After three years in the army, Wei Wei's father hoped that he could go to neighboring Japan to learn about international knowledge so that he could become his assistant in the future.
Under his father's arrangement, Wei Wei was sent to a school in Dalian to learn Japanese. Soon after, he embarked on a journey to study in Japan.
In April 2001, Wei Wei came to a Japanese language school in Fukuoka to continue his studies. After arriving in Fukuoka, Wei Wei applied for Fukuoka University for two consecutive years, but did not receive an admission letter from the other party.
After suffering a series of blows in the process of entering the university, Wei Wei had no choice but to enter a local vocational school (technical school) in Fukuoka.
During his studies here, Wei Wei has become a candidate for the university's scholarship for many times with his excellent results. But what happened next made Wei Wei feel a little caught off guard.
It turned out that Wei Wei's father was very annoyed with his uncompetitive son. In the two years since Wei Wei arrived in Japan, his parents have given him nearly 3 million yen for living expenses, but this child still has not learned some decent skills.
Wei Wei himself felt that it would be shameless to continue like this, so the idea of going out to earn money came to his mind. However, Wei Wei is a foreigner after all, and he has no friends in the local area, so how easy is it to find a decent job?
In addition, Wei Wei's Japanese is not very good, and he can't integrate into the mainstream of Japanese society at all. As a last resort, he could only choose to get together with a Chinese named Wang Liang.
Soon after, Wei Wei met his roommate Yang Ning through Wang Liang's introduction. At this moment, a few people would not have imagined that they would embark on the road of crime together in the future.
A shameless criminal career
In January 2003, Wang Liang and Yang Ning infiltrated a fast-food restaurant where the latter worked and stole 2.3 million yen (about 14 yuan) from the fast-food restaurant60,000 yuan).
Seeing that the two friends made a lot of money so "easily", Wei Wei quickly joined the ranks of crimes. In the same month, they broke into a local Chinese family in Fukuoka and robbed 260,000 yen (about 1 yuan).60,000).
On April 15, 2003, Wei Wei, together with Yang Ning and Wang Liang, entered a Japanese language school in the ** district of Fukuoka. Subsequently, they went to the school's staff room and stole more than 50,000 yen (about 3,200 yuan) stored inside.
In June, they started an extortion campaign against a woman they knew and successfully obtained the stolen money from the female victim.
Several successful criminal experiences made Wei Wei and the others feel very excited. At the same time, they have gradually become accustomed to this way of relying on crime to make a living. Since then, they have been running all the way down the road of crime until they have caused a terrible **.
On June 20, 2003, Wei Wei, Yang Ning and Wang Liang infiltrated a family in Fukuoka, Japan. But just as they were about to start the theft, the owner of the house, Shinjiro Matsumoto, discovered the thieves.
After Matsumoto found out about Wei Wei and the others, the two sides immediately got entangled together. In the end, the young and strong Wei Wei and others killed Matsumoto Shinjiro. In order to cover up their crimes, they even killed Matsumoto Shinjiro's wife and a pair of children.
Moreover, after Wei Wei committed the crime, he actually wanted to throw the responsibility on the local ***. They handcuffed the bodies of several of the victims, and then transported the bodies of several victims to the bottom of the sea in Hakata Port in Matsumoto's car.
After this bloody incident, the Japanese ** immediately went to Matsumoto Shinjiro's home to investigate, and found that the thieves only robbed a total of 230,000 yen (about 2,300 yuan).
"Criminals for the sake of mere 230,000 yen to kill a family of four" soon spread throughout Fukuoka. This case caused a great shock to the entire Japanese society at that time.
After committing the bloody case, Wei Wei and the others will definitely not be able to stay in Japan. Soon after, they sneaked back to China. But in the face of such a heinous criminal offense, China** will never sit idly by.
In 2005, Chinese authorities ruled against Wang Liang and Yang Ning for their involvement in the crime. The Intermediate People's Court of Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province, finally sentenced the two to death and life imprisonment. However, due to various reasons, Wei Wei, who committed a crime with them, has not been dealt with accordingly.
But "Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky", and it didn't take long for Wei Wei to be arrested.
Subsequently, a series of cases involving Wei Wei fell into a long "tug-of-war".
Wei Wei and his lawyer not only put the blame on Wang Liang and Yang Ning during the court debate, but even tried to confuse the public to get by.
After Wei Wei was sued by the Japanese side, the case concerning Wei Wei immediately became the focus of attention in China and Japan.
The twists and turns of the "death warrant".
After Wei Wei was sent to Japan for trial, his lawyer repeatedly stressed to the court that Wei Wei was only an accomplice in the process of committing the crime. Moreover, Wei Wei also said that he was not very good at Japanese at that time, and did not know much about "criminal activities".
However, the Japanese court insisted on sentencing Wei Wei to death, and Wei Wei appealed, but his appeal was quickly rejected by the Japanese Supreme Court.
However, it was during this period that a political movement for the abolition of the death penalty suddenly began in Japan. Many people are influenced by European and American legal thought, believing that the death penalty is an inhumane punishment, and some even advocate reforming criminals.
Under the influence of public opinion, the Japanese Minister of Justice at that time did not dare to sign the death penalty resolution lightly, lest he become infamous as a "murderous minister."
And this also gave Wei Wei, who was bent on survival, a respite.
At that time, when talking about the case of Wei Wei, some Japanese ** even said in a pessimistic tone: Maybe it will not be until more than ten years later that the Japanese ** will carry out the death penalty for Wei Wei.
In fact, the reason why Wei Wei's death sentence has not been finally decided for a long time is entirely because of the chaos in Japan. During that time, Japan's *** was frequently changed like a marquee, and no one was willing to make radical moves to offend the people.
It wasn't until former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo led the Liberal Democratic Party to gain a stable support rating within Japan that Japan began to clean up the backlog of death penalty cases.
Soon, people's attention focused on the Fukuoka Extinction of the year.
In the end, the Minister of Justice of **, Masako Mori, signed the decision on Wei Wei's execution. This guy just ushered in the end of his fate on December 26, 2019.
The young and reckless Wei Wei spent 16 years in a prison in Japan, and it is difficult for people to know what he experienced during this period. But when the Japanese prison staff asked him to leave a suicide note, he only wrote the word "repentance".
However, after Masako Mori signed the death penalty decision on Wei Wei, there are still many Japanese ** who are controversial about his actions. In this regard, Masako Mori explained:"The murder of a happy family for their own benefit is a most regrettable case for the victims and their bereaved families. ”
On the day Wei Wei was executed, his case had long been forgotten on the Chinese Internet. But no matter what kind of thinking and repentance he made in prison, the heinous crimes he committed back then would never be tolerated!
Chinese often say that "good and evil will be rewarded in the end", and Wei Wei vividly illustrates this truth with his own story. Perhaps, Wei Wei regretted his original behavior at the last moment of his life, but everything has long become irreparable.
If they could have used the skills they had learned on the right path and found a serious job, how could Wei Wei have ushered in the end later?
Although there is much controversy among some today about whether the death penalty should be retained, the conscience and moral standards of human society as a whole are almost unanimous.
No one will forgive a murderous demon king with blood on his hands, and the gunshots that rang out on the execution ground are the standard end to Wei Wei's life!
