A group of criminals who have been wreaking havoc for many years and committing numerous crimes were unable to escape the fate of destruction and were taken to a majestic court to accept the trial of law and justice.

On April 21, 2001, the Chongqing No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court and the Changde Intermediate People’s Court of Hunan Province respectively issued first-instance verdicts on Zhang Jun and Li Zejun’s extremely large series of robbery and murder cases: Zhang Jun, Li Zejun, and Chen Shiqing , Qin Zhibi and other 14 accomplices were sentenced to death in accordance with the law and deprived of political rights for life; the other 4 were sentenced to suspended death and life imprisonment respectively.

This is a rare violent gang crime case since the founding of New China. From June 1991 to September 2000, Zhang Jun personally or organizedly directed his accomplices to openly carry out armed robbery and murder in Chongqing, Hunan, Hubei and other places, and organized and planned a series of shocking and major crimes. In a particularly serious criminal case, 28 people were killed by their firearms, and more than 5.36 million yuan worth of national and people's property fell into their clutches.

Facing the sentence of the law, this group of once arrogant devils lowered their sinful heads.

Blood and Tears Accusation, People Say Kill

At 9 a.m. on April 14, 2001, the huge series of robbery and murder cases of Zhang Jun and Li Zejun were made public at the same time in Chongqing and Changde. Trial.

"The First Criminal Tribunal of Chongqing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court is now in session. Bring Zhang Jun and other defendants to court." Following the majestic voice of the presiding judge, "King of Murderers" Zhang Jun and his 10 accomplices were escorted in by bailiffs. In Changde, seven people including Li Zejun were also taken to the dock to face legal trial.

In the solemn court, the prosecutor read out a 46-page indictment with more than 20,000 words, and in one and a half hours, he listed the numerous crimes committed by Zhang Jun and his accomplices:

For money, they robbed everything from individual cigarette wholesale stores, gold counters in large shopping malls, bank cash trucks, and police mini-submachine guns; they used everything from sharp knives, homemade short guns to military pistols; From farmers and taxi drivers to bank employees and police officers, they kill innocent people indiscriminately; they do everything from harboring and helping to destroy criminal evidence to illegally buying, selling, transporting, and hiding guns and ammunition. The indictment alleges: Zhang Jun led Qin Zhibi, Quan Hongyan, Li Zejun, Chen Shiqing, Zhao Zhenghong, Yan Ruoming and others to form a relatively fixed criminal organization to commit homosexual crimes, and carried out organized and premeditated robberies and intentional robberies. Murderous criminal activities constitute the crime of robbery, intentional homicide, illegal buying and selling of firearms and ammunition, robbing firearms and ammunition, illegal possession of firearms and ammunition... The circumstances and consequences are particularly serious.

The most shocking thing in the indictment is the five-page list of the victims. 28 once vivid lives have now turned into heavy black characters, weighing on people's hearts. Most of them are in their twenties and thirties. Among them are taxi drivers who are the breadwinner of the family, farmers who come from remote mountain villages to work in the city, college students who are about to graduate from school with full of hope, only sons who are loved by their parents, and loving fathers to their daughters. , the wife's beloved husband...

When the prosecutor read "Victim Zhang Jin, female, 29 years old at the time," tears burst into the eyes of Zhang Degui, a 69-year-old Chongqing man in the auditorium. His daughter Zhang Jin, an employee of Chongqing Commercial Bank, was brutally shot and killed by Zhang Jun's accomplices Li Zejun and Chen Shiqing when she was walking with two security guards on June 19, 2000, and she was snatched away and held in his chest. A bag containing more than 140,000 yuan. After his beloved daughter suddenly left, the old man would often wake up in the middle of the night and think of his "most filial daughter", and his tears would unknowingly wet his pillow towel. To this day, he keeps his daughter's memorial tablet at home and gently wipes her daughter's photo with a cloth every morning.

In the ancient city of Changde, when Li Jumei heard the name of her husband Xiao Weidong, her heart felt as if she had been stabbed by a needle.

Xiao Weidong was an economic police officer at the Agricultural Bank of Changde. On September 1, 2000, the cash transport truck he was escorting was robbed by Zhang Jun, Li Zejun, Chen Shiqing, and Zhao Zhenghong. The 33-year-old Xiao Weidong was shot five times and died, leaving behind his unemployed wife. and an 8-year-old daughter from Zhengyi Elementary School. On the morning of the court session, my daughter stood in front of the court with tears in her eyes, holding a sketch of her father that she had drawn. She gently called to her father, hoping to wake him up and see the fate of these demons. Li Jumei said angrily: "Even if Zhang Jun and his gang are shot, it will not relieve the hatred in my heart. How can their despicable lives be compensated for my husband's life?"

The public prosecution agency demonstrated through multimedia Thousands of physical evidence, testimonies, appraisal conclusions, inspection records and other evidence. The ironclad evidence made the cruelty and cunning of Zhang Jun and his associates obvious to the world, leaving them with nowhere to hide.

Whether it was the "6·19" bank robbery and murder case in Chongqing that resulted in 2 deaths and 2 injuries, or the "9·1" bank robbery and murder case in Changde that resulted in 7 deaths and 5 injuries, Zhang Jun Criminal groups openly choose to carry out armed robberies and killings in broad daylight and in busy urban areas. The occurrence of such a major criminal case at such a time and in such a place not only seriously disrupted social order, but also had extremely bad effects.

In these days, the trial and sentencing of Zhang Jun and Li Zejun’s series of robbery and murder cases have become a hot topic of concern and discussion among people in Chongqing and Changde. Three days before the trial started, the court issued a hearing announcement in accordance with the law, but the court auditorium could only accommodate more than 200 people at a time. More people were outside the court, "judging" this group of inhumane ghosts with full of righteous indignation.

He was fierce and vulnerable

When he was taken to court, Zhang Jun still pretended to be calm and tilted his head. When he saw the silent and angry glances from everyone in the auditorium, his vicious eyes suddenly dimmed. In the next few days of trial, in addition to his confession and sophistry, he often lowered his eyes and sat in a daze in the dock.

During the court investigation, Zhang Jun was indifferent to the bloody cases, the irrefutable evidence, and the accusations. He either rolled his eyes and remained silent, or weakly expressed that he had "no objection" to the accusations. The murderous king knew that he was guilty and refused a lawyer to defend him.

While answering the prosecutor’s interrogation, Zhang Jun’s ugly soul was exposed to the public from time to time.

The prosecutor asked: "Zhang Jun, why did you kill the owner of the clothing store in Ningming County, Guangxi in February 1994?"

Zhang Jun replied: "Because you wanted to rob him. 6,000 yuan."

Asked: "Did you just want to grab the money when you saw him?"

Answer: "Not really. I look at everyone's money. Want to rob."

This sentence expresses his greedy, selfish and violent nature, as well as his strong hatred and revenge towards society. It is this nature and psychology that drives Zhang Jun to rob and kill crazily, and at the same time, it also drives him quickly towards final destruction.

Zhang Jun, who calls himself a "professional robber," is arrogant, cunning, cruel, and despicable. He often said: "Whoever blocks my way to make money, whoever hinders me, I will destroy." According to his arrogant gangster logic, whoever does not give him money is blocking his way of making money; It just got in his way. In this way, Zhang Jun himself or directed his accomplices to use the guns in their hands to brutally kill every migrant worker, economic policeman, self-employed person, cleaner, bank clerk, shop salesperson, and taxi driver who "obstructed" him. He will also ruthlessly "eliminate" anyone who blocks his way to make money. Peng Chenghui, a 31-year-old farmer who was looking for a job in Changsha City, was tricked by Zhang Jun into taking Quan Hongyan to a remote hilltop to practice pistol shooting. He was eventually killed.

Flies chase odors, which has been the case since ancient times. Like Zhang Jun, the members of his criminal group are all a group of monsters with no conscience, moral decay, extreme greed, and hatred of society. Li Zejun, Chen Shiqing, Zhao Zhenghong, and Yan Ruoming were greedy for profit and spared no effort to obey Zhang Jun's orders. They robbed with guns and weapons, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and incurred heavy blood debts. Qin Zhibi and Quan Hongyan are two female cadres of Zhang Jun's criminal group. They were directly involved in robbery and murder, illegally transported and secretly concealed guns and ammunition, and worked for Zhang Jun wholeheartedly.

Under the arrogant appearance of Zhang Jun and his accomplices, there is an inner world of extreme fear, tension, and weakness. No matter walking, eating or watching TV, Zhang Jun held the pistol in his trouser pocket all day long and lived in fear. Every time he commits a crime, he carefully organizes, plans and chooses an escape route, but he clearly realizes: "A madman, with a group of idiots, will be eliminated sooner or later."

When this day comes When it came, Zhang Jun and his group were vulnerable to the iron fist of the people's democratic dictatorship.

Li Zejun, a "cold-blooded animal" who kills without blinking an eye, shot a police officer seven times in the head while robbing an Agricultural Bank of China cash transport truck in Changde City. His cruelty was outrageous. Now, standing in the court, his eyes are dull, his legs are shaking slightly, and his voice is as thin as a silk when answering the interrogation. Qin Zhibi once disguised herself as a man and robbed a gold store with Zhang Jun. Later, she participated in three robberies in a criminal group. Four people died during the robbery. She did not hesitate to risk Zhang Jun and even more money. But in court, she cried sadly and begged for forgiveness, no longer as violent as before.

In the face of the law, the arrogant Zhang Jun and his gang had to bow their heads and plead guilty. When defending himself, Zhang Jun said: "If a person like me is sentenced to death, I will accept it wholeheartedly." Li Zejun admitted that "his sins are heinous and unforgivable"; Chen Shiqing lamented, "There is nothing I can do for what I have done." I can defend myself." Yan Ruoming said helplessly that "he should bear the unshirkable legal responsibility."

Sharing the same hatred with the enemy, promoting righteousness

The trial of Zhang Jun’s violent criminal group has made clear this ironclad fact: in socialist China, the people will never allow evil forces to run rampant.

On the first day of the trial, journalist Liu Guoqin rushed from Wuhan to Chongqing and took to the witness stand to testify. Two years ago, he faced the bullets fired by gangsters in a shopping mall in Wuhan, and used his camera to capture the scene of Zhang Jun, Li Zejun and others being masked and armed with guns. These photos provide extremely important clues for the public security organs to solve the case.

During the trial, many people actively testified in court, including men and women, old and young, retired cadres and young employees. They hold the same idea: to fight bravely against evil forces is our responsibility and obligation.

It is the strong desire of the people to resolutely destroy the arrogance of criminals and change the face of social security as soon as possible. The people hated Zhang Jun and this gang of vicious robbers, and the struggle against them never stopped for a moment. Facing the guns of evil, many people stood up and fought to the death with the criminals. It was these policemen, economic police, salesmen, and drivers who sacrificed and were injured for justice, leaving criminals with traces of their crimes everywhere. Life and blood provide valuable clues for the detection of cases.

In the investigation of the huge series of robbery and murder cases of Zhang Jun and Li Zejun, the public security organs received strong support from the people. After the "6·19" robbery and murder in Chongqing, many citizens provided 688 clues to the public security organs, including 163 key clues. During the investigation of the "9·1" armored truck robbery and murder case in Changde, the public security organs received more than 10,000 clues and 81 reporting letters from the public, and received 185 people who reported the situation. After the Golden Room of Shanghai No. 1 Department Store’s Chongqing store was robbed, several on-site witnesses actively provided the suspect’s characteristics and followed the task force for identification work without any pay for several months. Finally, they were found in the video before the crime. Suspicious object. After solving the case, it was proved that the suspicious person was Yan Ruoming, one of the criminals.

With the strong backing of the people, the public security organs are like gods, and successful detection work is reported frequently: On September 5, 2000, Li Zejun and Zhao Zhenghong were arrested in Yiyang, Hunan; on September 19, 2000, Zhang Jun was arrested in Yiyang, Hunan. Chongqing was captured and brought to justice; on October 7, 2000, Chen Shiqing, who was desperate, was captured... In just over 30 days, the public security organs eliminated all members of Zhang Jun's violent criminal group without firing a shot, and seized all guns and ammunition. At the same time, a group of criminals who illegally sold guns and ammunition to Zhang Jun and harbored him have also fallen into the law. All this shows the determination and ability of the public security organs to eliminate evil and leave no consequences.

When the news came that the devil had been captured, gongs and drums sounded in celebration in the mountain city of Chongqing and the ancient city of Changde, and the masses clapped their hands and cheered. Relatives of the victim are even more sad and happy. At this time, 6 years have passed since Wang Liming, a self-employed person in Chongqing, was robbed and killed. When his wife learned the news, she burst into tears. She cried: "Li Ming, your murderer has been caught. It's been 6 years, we Finally waiting for this day, if you know anything under Jiuquan, just close your eyes and rest in peace."

The righteous trial will forever nail Zhang Jun and his gang to the pillar of shame that is despised by mankind. This is legal. Victory, the victory of justice, and the victory of the people will certainly play a morale-boosting and inspiring role in launching the massive "strike hard" struggle across the country. Xie Ping, a deputy to the National People's Congress, said after observing the court hearing: "The Party Central Committee has decided to launch a 'strike hard' campaign to eradicate criminal gangs and eliminate evil, so as to comply with the will of the people and win public support. When dealing with criminal gangs like Zhang Jun, we must detect them early and solve them quickly. Nip them in the bud.”

The complete destruction of Zhang Jun’s criminal group once again proves that the power of justice is always invincible.
