Shanxi’s ‘King of Thieves’ Wang Yanqing: Digging a tunnel to escape from prison and brutally killing 16 people. What kind of sanctions will he receive?

In the Chinese version of "The Shawshank Redemption", Wang Yanqing, known as the "King of Thieves", led 11 other prisoners and spent three months digging a tunnel to escape.

Wang Yanqing was born in the 1950s, and his parents were both teachers. With such a family background, Wang Yanqing has been exposed to a large number of books since childhood and has a special interest in mathematics. In junior high school, he began to study calculus and linear algebra, which shows how high his IQ is.

However, Wang Yanqingkong has a good brain, but he just likes to do illegitimate things. He became a bully in junior high school and often got into fights. After graduating from junior high school, Wang Yanqing began to enter the society and became a worker. These factories are often closed during election campaigns.

Wang Yanqing was free and happy. In addition to fighting, he also taught himself a unique skill - opening safes. With his clever mind and mathematical knowledge, Wang Yanqing can open the safe within 10 seconds, even faster than other people opening the safe with a key.

Wang Yanqing's theft skills soon became famous in Taiyuan gangster circles. Many gangs invited him to join and began to steal property on a large scale. Wang Yanqing has a principle that he "does not eat grass near his nest" and never steals from nearby residents.

After several years of wandering, Wang Yanqing gradually became the famous "King of Thieves" in Shanxi. As long as he aims at something, no lock can defeat him. During the crackdown, gangsters of all sizes in Taiyuan were wiped out, and Wang Yanqing was no exception.

It turned out that Wang Yanqing was sentenced to death based on the circumstances at the time. However, although Wang Yanqing has stolen many things over the years, he has not lost any life in his hands. Taiyuan brought many gangsters whose lives were at stake, so Wang Yanqing was not included in the shooting list.

In 1988, Wang Yanqing was sentenced to death with a suspended execution. Although he narrowly escaped death, he will have to stay in prison for at least several decades. There are all kinds of people in prison, so it is natural to rely on force to speak. Wang Yanqing, who had just arrived, showed a strong side.

According to regulations, Wang Yanqing should give a soft explanation to the group leader and honestly confess his criminal experience. But Wang Yanqing was not so partial. He pointed at his head and cursed: You are a thing, you still have the right to ask me for a fight.

In order to deal with this newcomer, Wu Shuangxi, the second shop owner, rushed forward with three people. Facing the siege of four people, Wang Yanqing did not fall back. Although he was beaten black and blue, the four people could not fight him.

Wang Yanqing stared at Jiantou mercilessly, waiting for him to start working. Jiantou quickly released the "Jiantou shop", and from then on Wang Yanqing became Jiantou with a new identity. Wang Yanqing does not want to stay in prison for decades. He had been planning his escape.

While Wang Yanqing was in prison, he had to work in the prison workshop. He found that the ground in the workshop had not hardened yet, so he came up with the idea of ??digging a tunnel to escape. Wang Yanqing called up the prisoners in the workroom and expressed his idea of ????escape.

But some people only stay in jail for a year or two and don’t want to be involved. Wang Yanqing threatened: I am already a death row prisoner, and it doesn't matter if I kill a few more people. If anyone is unwilling to do it, I will kill him first.

Seeing this, the public had no choice but to let him dictate. Once again, Wang's mathematical knowledge came in handy. He drew an accurate map of the prison structure, calculated the approximate amount of earthworks, and even scheduled everyone's schedule.

They worked in turns every day, covering each other, dumping soil into the toilet, and successfully deceived the guards. Three months later, the tunnel was completed. In the dead of night, Wang Yanqing used his special skills to open the door of the room and successfully escaped from the passage of the workshop.

After escaping from prison with 11 inmates, Wang Yanqing tried to escape to Hong Kong alone. But he worried that the prisoners would turn themselves in, exposing their whereabouts. Simple took these 11 people, rushed to a store, controlled the boss and two customers, forced the prisoner to move a knife, and all three people were killed.

As a result, all the people in prison died and had to follow Wang Yanqing on a dark path. From then on, Wang Yanqing led this group of people around and committed many serious crimes. They know they will die if caught, so they show no mercy. In just a few months, they killed eight people and seriously injured several others.

After all, 12 is too big a target, and prisoners are constantly being caught and shot.

Wang Yanqing was unwilling to carry out a simple single action with this group of burdensome people. Since then, Wang Yanqing has killed several people, including policewoman Liu Wenying, and the entire Shanxi Province has been harassed by Wang Yanqing.

Wang Yanqing’s skills are not very good, but he is ruthless and dares to die. Therefore, people also call him "the number one killer in North China". By May 1990, Wang had killed 16 people and seriously injured dozens more.

In order to arrest Wang Yanqing, the streets and alleys of Shanxi were covered with wanted posters. Under pressure from the police, Wang Yanqing went south and attempted to sneak into Myanmar. When he arrived in Chenzhou, Hunan, his nerves relaxed and he asked a lady to stay with him for the night.

That night, someone happened to check the hotel. The police thought Wang Yanqing was a prostitute and took him back to the Public Security Bureau for detention. Although Wang Yanqing's identity has not been exposed yet, it will definitely be found out once he arrives at the Public Security Bureau.

In the end, Wang Yanqing took out his pistol, wounded three policemen, and fled after defeating Dalai. On the way to escape, Wang Yanqing injured four policemen and one member of the public. Although Wang Jianmin was temporarily missing, his back was also injured and he was unable to walk normally. The only way to leave Chenzhou is by car.

To this end, Chenzhou police set up multiple checkpoints on the city's main traffic routes, and finally captured Wang Yanqing who tried to escape in a taxi. But despite Wang's serious waist injury, he still injured three police officers before he was eventually subdued.

With 16 lives on his back, Wang Yanqing will definitely die. After he was arrested, he was very calm and even specifically asked the police to eat and drink well, otherwise he would not tell where the victim was buried. Half a month later, Wang Yanqing continued to explain where the body was buried. In the end, after a formal trial, Wang Yanqing was sentenced to death and executed by a firing squad, ending the rule of Shanxi's "King of Thieves".

If Wang Yanqing did not commit a crime, he would definitely use his brain to do something. But he chose a path of no return and did countless bad things. Sometimes, high IQ is a double-edged sword. Where you use it is key.
