Recently, the popularity of the anti-gang drama The Knockout has aroused people’s concern about the evil forces and the "umbrella" behind them. Zheng Zhijun noticed that, among the above-mentioned three major triad-related cases, the case of "Hainan Huang Hongfa’s triad-related case" has many similarities with The Knockout’s plot, which can be described as a realistic version of The Knockout.
Who are the "protective umbrellas" behind the three major triad-related cases named by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate?
Three Public Security Directors as "Umbrella"
According to haikou net, Hainan Huang Hongfa’s triad-related case is a case that Hainan courts have accepted the largest number of members, occupied the longest time, seized the most illegal property, had the greatest social impact and paid close attention to. It is also the only triad-related case in Hainan Province that has been supervised by the Central Political and Legal Committee and the National Anti-triad Office since the establishment of the province.
According to CCTV news reports, Huang Hongfa, the "black boss" of the Changjiang mega-gang-related organization, started by opening underground casinos in the late 1980s, and successively annexed a number of evil gangs in the Changjiang area, "supporting the black with business" and "protecting the black with business". This gang attacked the iron mines, concrete, gravel yards, entertainment venues and farmers in the Changjiang area through forced trading, extortion and other violent means.
In the past 30 years, Huang Hongfa’s mafia-related organizations have committed as many as 58 crimes, involving 20 charges, resulting in 2 deaths, 3 serious injuries and 13 minor injuries.
On January 13, 2020, Huang Hongfa was sentenced to death, and in July of the same year, he was executed.
Why has Huang Hongfa been at large for 30 years as a "black boss"?
According to the introduction of the third episode of the large-scale political feature film "Sweeping the Black and Eliminating Evil-For the Prosperity of the Country and the People’s Security", under the deliberate wooing, buying and corrosion of Huang Hongfa’s gang, the corruption in Changjiang area presents the typical characteristics of systematicness and collapse. Mainly reflected in the many departments involved, including public security organs, commercial departments, market supervision departments, water departments, and land departments.
Under the influence of Huang Hongfa’s mafia-related organizations for many years, Guo Xiangli, former director of the Standing Committee of Changjiang County People’s Congress, Zhou Kaidong, former deputy magistrate of Changjiang County, Huang Yang, former chief procurator of Changjiang County People’s Procuratorate, Chen Xiaoming, Mai Hongzhang, Wang Xiongjin and political commissar Chen Dong, and other public officials were dragged into the water one after another, and received bribes from Huang Hongfa totaling more than 15 million yuan.
The discipline inspection and supervision organs of Hainan Province thoroughly investigated the corruption and "protective umbrella" behind Huang Hongfa’s case, and 109 people were put on file for review and investigation, and 26 people were handed over to judicial organs.
19 Sun Xiaoguo’s "Umbrella" case was sentenced
In April 2019, the case of Sun Xiaoguo’s involvement in black and evil in Yunnan was filed, and the National Anti-Black Office was listed and supervised.
In December of the same year, the Yunnan Provincial High Court publicly pronounced the case of Sun Xiaoguo and decided to execute the death penalty. In February 2020, Sun Xiaoguo was executed.
According to the political feature film "Sweep out evil-for the sake of the country and the people’s security", after Sun Xiaoguo was sentenced to death in the first instance in 1998, he was sentenced to death with a reprieve in the second instance in Yunnan Province in 1999. In 2007, the case was retried and the reprieve was changed to 20 years’ imprisonment. During this period, Sun Xiaoguo was commuted several times, and was released from prison after serving his sentence for 12 years and 5 months.
During his prison term, in order to get Sun Xiaoguo out of prison as soon as possible, his mother Sun Heyu and his stepfather Li Qiaozhong met Liu Siyuan, then the political commissar of the First Prison of Yunnan Province, under the matchmaking of Luo Zhengyun, then the deputy director of the Yunnan Provincial Department of Justice and the political commissar of the Provincial Prison Administration.
Under the care of Liu Siyuan, Sun Xiaoguo was repeatedly praised and praised during his prison term in Provincial No.1 Prison. The prison police twice reported to Sun Xiaoguo that he did not meet the conditions for commutation.
Sun Heyu and others also planned an absurd scene. The design drawings were provided by the chief engineer of the First Provincial Supervision Bureau, and the police officers were disciplined to take the drawings into the prison. The model was made with the prisoners according to the drawings, and a patent for "anti-theft manhole cover" was invented with the signature of Sun Xiaoguo, who never participated in the whole process.
In order to make the false patent pass the examination smoothly, Li Qiaozhong and Sun Heyu tried their best to transfer Sun Xiaoguo from the first provincial supervisor to the second provincial supervisor to serve his sentence. With the help of Zhu Xu, then deputy director of the Second Prison of Yunnan Province, Sun Xiaoguo was recognized as having a major invention patent. The court ruled that 2 years and 8 months of imprisonment were deducted.
On December 15, 2019, Sun Heyu (former policeman of Guandu Branch of Kunming Public Security Bureau) and Li Qiaozhong (former director of Wuhua District Urban Management Bureau of Kunming City) were sentenced to 20 years and 19 years respectively. Seventeen people, including Luo Zhengyun, Liu Siyuan and Zhu Xu, were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 12 years to 2 years for committing crimes such as bending the law for selfish ends and accepting bribes. Six leading cadres, including two presidents of the Yunnan Provincial High Court, were also disciplined.
Five judicial officers were investigated for dereliction of duty in the case of burying bodies in the playground.
In mid-April, 2019, the Public Security Bureau of Xinhuang County, Hunan Province, seized Du Shaoping’s criminal gangs involved in evil in the special struggle against evil, and collected clues from the society.
In May of the same year, Huaihua City Public Security Bureau found that Du Shaoping had a great connection with the case when checking the clues of Deng Shiping’s murder assigned by the 16th Supervision Team of the Central Committee for Eliminating Evil. After in-depth investigation, according to Du Shaoping and Luo Guangzhong’s confession and on-site identification, the public security organ dug up a human remains in the playground of Xinhuang No.1 Middle School in the early morning of June 20, and confirmed it as Deng Shiping’s remains by DNA identification.
Xinhuang’s "corpse burial case in the playground" was also listed as a key supervision case by the National Anti-vice Office.
According to Xinhua News Agency, in 2001, Du Shaoping, a laid-off worker from Xinhuang County, Hunan Province, took improper measures to illegally build a civil engineering project for the playground of Xinhuang No.1 Middle School, and hired Luo Guangzhong and others to manage it. During the construction process, Du Shaoping was dissatisfied with Deng Shiping, who supervised the quality and safety of the project on behalf of the school, and held a grudge. On January 22, 2003, he killed Deng Shiping with Luo Guangzhong and buried his body in a pit in the playground of Xinhuang No.1 Middle School.
After the incident, Huang Bingsong (Uncle Du Shaoping), then the principal of Xinhuang No.1 Middle School, tried to cover up the fact of Du Shaoping’s murder, asking for help and wooing relevant public officials. Yang Jun (Du Shaoping), then the deputy secretary of the Party Committee and political commissar of Xinhuang County Public Security Bureau, and others accepted the help, interfering, misleading and obstructing the investigation of the case, which led to the long-term failure to solve the case. After Du Shaoping and Luo Guangzhong arrived at the case, they confessed to the crime of killing Deng Shiping.
In December 2019, Du Shaoping was sentenced to death, Luo Guangzhong was sentenced to death with a two-year suspension, and Huang Bingsong was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
On January 20, 2020, Du Shaoping was executed.
On December 31, 2021, Xu Baijian, Party Secretary and Procurator-General of the People’s Procuratorate of Huaihua City, Hunan Province, made a work report at the first meeting of the Sixth People’s Congress. In his report, he mentioned that the procuratorial organs dug deep into the "case of burying bodies in the playground" that had been dusty for 16 years, and filed a case to investigate and deal with five judicial staff members who were dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty. All 24 people involved in the case were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment and above.
It is worth mentioning that in May 2020, the case of Sun Xiaoguo and the case of burying a corpse in the playground were written into the "two highs" work report. The report pointed out that national security and social stability should be resolutely safeguarded. We will severely punish all kinds of crimes such as infiltration, subversion, violence and terror according to law, and always maintain a high-pressure situation against crimes that seriously endanger social security. We will carry out in-depth special struggles to eliminate evils.
