What is the collusion between the "first man" of the northwest grave robbery and the officials?

"Meng Laoda" was arrested. On April 20 17, the news spread all over Xi' an antique market.

2065438+July 2006, Han Yunling, a national cultural relics protection unit in Chunhua, Shaanxi Province, was stolen. The local police dug up other robbery gangs from one robbery gang, and then expanded the line and dug up "Meng Laoda". When he went downstairs to drive out, he was arrested by the police who had been squatting all night.

The 64-year-old "Boss Meng", whose real name is Meng Moujian, is the "number one" figure in the northwest grave robbery case. He can see the dynasties and commodities of cultural relics at a glance. In Xi 'an antique market, "Meng Laoda" is the representative of "authority" and "reputation". Experts all know that the price given by "Meng Laoda" is "market price". Even if he "bargains" sharply to earn a high price difference, others dare not speak.

The great energy of "Meng Laoda" lies in his ability to connect buyers and sellers in series and organize a "one-stop" grave robbery activity. Under normal circumstances, he does not go to the scene of grave robbery, but supports others in grave robbery and then resells the cultural relics to others at a high price.

Chunhua police found out that there are many people with social status in the list of criminal suspects who bought cultural relics, such as Zhang Moping, a member of Gansu Provincial Political Consultative Conference, and Zhang Xuepu, a member of Henan Provincial Political Consultative Conference wanted by the A-level wanted order of the Ministry of Public Security.

The "First Man" of Grave Robbery in Northwest China

Meng Mojian looks gentle and tall. He often goes to Xi 'an Datang West Antique Market to receive goods.

According to Meng Moujian's confession, he worked in Anmou Watch Factory in his early years and loved cultural relics. In his twenties, he went to work while visiting the cultural relics market. Because of the poor efficiency of the factory, he began to buy cultural relics after he was laid off. At first, he went to the remote mountainous area around Xi to buy ancient coins, and then resold them to earn the difference. Later, when he met some grave robbers, he funded others to rob them and then bought them and sold them.

Under normal circumstances, Meng Moujian sells cultural relics by himself, driving, pulling goods and delivering them to his door. If the other party sees it, negotiate the price and give it to a bank account, and the other party will transfer the money. This account is located in his wife's name. If the other party doesn't like it, he will take the goods away again.

Meng Moujian once opened antique shops in Anxiaodongmen Antique Market and Anqujiang Antique City. But it hasn't been operated since 20 15. He knows a lot about cultural relics. When the police searched his house, they saw a row of bookshelves filled with books on cultural relics, such as the atlas of cultural relics, the distribution map of ancient tombs and the identification of jade articles.

In the northwest grave robbery world, "Meng Laoda" is a famous name. The police investigating the case said that many robbers who were arrested claimed that Meng was the first person to identify bronzes in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces and was a folk authority. "There is one thing, is the western han dynasty or the eastern han dynasty, which dynasty, he can see at a glance. He can recognize whether the patterns and cultural relics on the utensils have been repaired. " ?

Many people in an antique market look for Meng to have a "long eye". The police confiscated his mobile phone. During the WeChat chat, many friends sent him pictures asking about the price of an item.

At about 201April 7 14 10, Meng Moujian was arrested by the police who stayed overnight while driving downstairs. "He knew he had committed a crime and was very calm when he was arrested. He didn't say a word. " The police prince who handled the case participated in the arrest on that day. He recalled that when they searched the garage, a warehouse of seven or eight square meters was full of boxes of suspected cultural relics, all wrapped in toilet paper.

Chunhua police also searched Meng's home. Next to the bay window of his bedroom, the police opened the clothes and found a hole in it: after drilling in, they found a homemade mezzanine with a safe about 80 cm high. Open the safe. There are many things in it.

Liu Lei said that there is a national cultural relic Yulong and a glass hairpin in the safe, which was identified by cultural relics experts as a tribute to the western regions during the Western Han Dynasty, and it is the only complete orphan found in China at present.

After identification, Chunhua police found more than 70 cultural relics in Meng's home.

Some cultural relics seized?

"Strong food": buying stolen cultural relics at a low price and changing hands at several times the price.

Meng Moujian, who has the status of "authority" among the people, controls the market price of stolen bronzes in Shaanxi and Gansu. "He often' strongly eats goods' and' presses goods'." This is the evaluation of him by the arrested grave robbery gang.

"The price of this goods in the market is 500,000, and he will give you 200,000, and clearly tell you that if you don't give me this goods, you can't sell it, because you can't find a home, and no one will accept your goods. Even if you take it, no one trusts you, and you can't change hands. " Liu Lei said.

There are two jargon in antique market. One is "don't hide", which means it's easy to inquire about a person in the antique market. The other sentence is "don't hide anything", which means that someone sold a certain product and soon the whole market knew it.

Liu Lei said that grave robbery is about so-called trust, and Meng Moujian is an authority in the industry. If he wandered around the antique market and said that someone gave him a product, he only paid 200 thousand, and others paid a higher price, it would be difficult to change hands again.

Wu Mou, born in Tianshui, Gansu, is 54 years old and is one of the suspects involved. More than 20 years ago, he met Meng Moujian in Tianshui Antique Market and began to engage in grave robbing activities. All the stolen cultural relics were changed hands by Meng. "Even with more than 20 years of friendship, his starting price is unambiguous." The police handling the case relayed Wu's evaluation of Meng.

20 1 1 year, Wu Mou, together with his younger brother and brother-in-law, stole five cultural relics such as pots, cups and wine bowls from a site in Wushan, Gansu. After that, I called Meng Moujian and said that I wanted to sell goods.

"Meng boss asked how much it cost after seeing the goods. Wu Mou said that after so many years of contact, the boss Meng only gave 500,000 yuan for five goods. Wu was very angry at that time, saying that the price was so heavy every time, and there was no way to explain it when he went back. "Liu Lei said, although reluctant, Wu finally put the goods in Meng's place.

Three days later, Mr. Wu Mou called Meng Moujian and asked him if the goods had been transferred out. After getting the news that they had not been transferred out, he went to Meng to take the goods away. When he got it for resale in Gansu, the buyer said, "You have seen this thing' Meng Laoda', and I will give you 200,000 yuan. You can't afford it."

More than a month later, Meng Moujian took the goods from Mr. Wu Mou and gave him 350,000 yuan. According to Meng, he changed hands and sold it to Li for 800,000 yuan. In fact, according to Chunhua police, he earned double or even several times the price difference from the cultural relics that Meng Moujian changed hands.

"If they don't press the goods, they will run around. I want to give them a long memory and let them return the goods to me. " Meng Moujian confessed.

If a cultural relic is needed in the market, support gang members to steal it.

The great energy of "Boss Meng" lies not only in his ability to control a deliveryman like Wu Mou, but also in his independent grave robbing team.

"If there are two Ding in the market, he can get two Ding back." Liu Lei said that most people in the antique market know that Meng Moujian is a grave robber, so someone will take the initiative to ask him for goods. After that, he began to contact grave robbers in Shaanxi and Gansu, and soon he could figure out what the other party wanted. If he can't find it, he will arrange someone to steal it.

In the process of poaching, Meng Moujian generally does not go to the scene. He always gives financial support. First, he paid tens of thousands of yuan to gang members to buy tools and accommodation for committing crimes. After the cultural relics were dug up, he sold them and gave them a certain share.

Chunhua police found out that Li Mouliang, Zhang Mouyan and other gangs were relatively fixed, except Wu Mou's gang.

Li Mouliang, a 46-year-old from Baqiao, was sentenced to 6 months' imprisonment at the beginning of 16 and was put in prison at the beginning of 20 16. He was also punished by the public security organs for taking drugs.

Zhang Moyan, nicknamed "Lao Ba", is 48 years old this year. He is Li Mouliang's hometown. He was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment 10 years and was released from prison in 20 15 years.

20 14 it is reported in an antique market that a number of chimes originated in an Zhai house, with very high grade. Meng Moujian, who lingered in the major antique markets, was very greedy after learning the news. He called Li Mouliang and asked him if the chime was stolen. After getting a negative answer, Meng asked Li to find out who stole it.

Liu Lei said that there is only a ditch between Li Mouliang's home and Zhai Zhai Zhai, which is very influential in the local area. He found that there was a grave robbery in Dizhai, so he told Meng Moujian that Meng asked him to lead a team to rob the tomb.

According to the cross confession between Li Mouliang and Meng Moujian, after receiving Meng Moujian's instructions, Li Mouliang called several "buddies" to the middle of the original Dou Taihou Mausoleum and the Queen Mother Mausoleum of Zhaizhaibo. When other gangs were digging, they turned on their flashlights and lied that they were inspectors from the cultural relics department, scaring each other away. Since then, Li took people into the site and stole more than two or three national cultural relics 10, such as flat chimes and lampstands.

Chunhua police found out that after these cultural relics were stolen, Meng Moujian sold them to Zhang Moping at a price of 6.5438+0.5 million yuan, and he only gave Li Mouliang 800,000 yuan.

After Li Mouliang obtained illegal income, he used it for gambling and other expenses. "Li Mouliang and Zhang Mouyan gambled once and lost 3 million in one night. After coming out of the gambling hall, Li Lai said,' Bring tools and continue to go up the mountain at night'. " Liu Lei said.

According to Chunhua police, Meng Moujian confessed all his criminal facts from 20 1 1, 20 13 to 20 16, and the police successively seized more than 250 pieces of various cultural relics.

Some cultural relics seized?

Two CPPCC members participated in the purchase of stolen cultural relics.

According to years of experience in handling cases, Liu Lei learned that there is a clear "industry structure map" behind cultural relics crimes.

In this structural diagram, the bottom layer is called "coolies", who are the direct implementers of illegal excavation and have the lowest profit.

The upper level is "leg", which is equivalent to "project manager" and "contractor". They organized grave robberies. Such people should not only have the ability to use explosives, but also master the technology of grave robbery.

The next level is grave robbers or cultural relics dealers, who must have the ability to win people's hearts, the ability to ship goods and a certain economic foundation.

In the end, the stolen cultural relics flow to the buyer's "palm eye" through the "pot". Such people not only have a certain ability to appreciate cultural relics, but also have a good economic foundation. And these people generally still have a certain social status.

From the perspective of industry structure, Li Mouliang, Wu Mou Sheng and others mostly play the role of "legs", while Meng Moujian plays the role of "supporting the pot". It was Meng's arrival that made the stolen cultural relics recovered undamaged.

Zhang Moping is a member of the "palm eye" in this case. According to Chunhua police, Zhang is a member of Gansu CPPCC and has several companies in Tianshui and An. Zhang was introduced by a friend. Zhang claims to be a cultural relic lover. He has a private museum in Tianshui and exchanges cultural relics with Meng. Later, he learned that Meng was a grave robber and had influence in Shaanxi and Gansu, so he accepted Meng's goods. ?

Chunhua police found out that during the 10 years when Zhang Mouping was in contact with Meng, among the more than 100 cultural relics that Zhang Mouping bought from Meng, gold-plated chimes, flat chimes, black pottery chimes, black pottery figurines, lotus lanterns and stone chimes were of high value.

20 17 At 20 o'clock on April 26th, Zhang Moping, who was hiding in an hotel, was arrested by the police. Subsequently, in his company and other places, the police found 200 precious cultural relics such as Shuang Hu's gold-plated pedestal and pottery horse.

"He denied in every way that it was legal to buy cultural relics to protect national treasures. In fact, he bought it knowing that it was a cultural relic from a tomb robbery, and even took the initiative to look for it. " Yang Gai, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Chunhua County, said.

A video shows that in the face of the trial, Zhang Mouping claimed that he did not understand the Cultural Relics Law, so Yang Gai took a copy of the Cultural Relics Protection Law and read it to him on the spot. Zhang retorted, "I don't understand the law and I don't want to hear it. Don't read it to me. " Later, when Yang was studying, Zhang Yi put one hand on his forehead and kept silent.

In addition to Zhang Moping, Zhang Xuepu, another member of Henan Provincial Political Consultative Conference, also participated in the acquisition of stolen cultural relics.

Liu Lei said in an interview that Meng Moujian confessed that he had a cultural relic transaction with Wang County. After Wang County was captured, Wang confessed that he and Zhang Xuepu had had many cultural relics transactions since 20 12, and through Wang's matchmaking, Zhang also bought precious cultural relics from Meng.

In September this year, Chunhua police took criminal detention measures against Zhang Xuepu, but he has fled abroad. In June165438+1October 10, the Ministry of Public Security issued a Class A wanted order, publicly wanted the second batch of 10 cultural relics fugitives, and Zhang Xuepu was among them.

Five people in this series are A-class wanted criminals.

Meng Moujian's theft of Chunhua Han Yun Mausoleum is one of the eight cultural relics crimes supervised by the Ministry of Public Security this year.

According to the joint report of Xianyang City Public Security Bureau and Chunhua County Public Security Bureau in June 5438+065438+ 10/7, the case started with the theft of Han Yun Mausoleum, which lasted 16 months and moved to five provinces 16 cities. In one fell swoop, eight criminal gangs that robbed ancient tombs of the Western Han Dynasty and sold cultural relics were destroyed, and 965,438 criminal suspects were arrested.

"This series of cases has arrested many criminal suspects, cracked a large number of cases and recovered many cultural relics. It is one of a series of major cultural relics crimes cracked by public security organs in recent years. " Chen Shiqu, deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, once summarized this.

It is worth noting that in this series of cases, five people involved in the case went to the A-level wanted order issued by the Ministry of Public Security.

On July 3 1 day, the Ministry of Public Security issued an A-level wanted order, which publicly wanted 10 fugitives from cultural relics crimes. Among them, Li and Han Yunling in Chunhua were involved in a series of cases of theft. On September 8th, Wang Jianfeng surrendered himself to Chunhua County Public Security Bureau.

165438+1October 10, the Ministry of Public Security once again issued an A-level wanted order, and publicly wanted the second batch of 10 cultural relics fugitives. This time, three people on the list were involved in the series of cases in which Han Yunling was stolen in Chunhua. They are Cai Yu, Li Tiegang and Zhang Xuepu.

The day after the release of the second batch of A-level wanted warrants, Li Tiegang, accompanied by his family, surrendered himself to the Chunhua County Public Security Bureau. 1On October 28th, Cai Yu was arrested by the police in Chunhua County.

According to the police in Chunhua, up to now, all the main suspects in the case have arrived, 56 people have been arrested and 8 people have been chased online. The case has entered the stage of legal transfer and prosecution.

No market, no business.
