The man killed two people and fled for 11 years. When he was arrested, he still had revenge and murder thoughts.
Cctv newsThis is a criminal suspect wanted by the B-level wanted order of the Ministry of Public Security. His name is Zhou Yongsen. Eleven years ago, he was suspected of killing two people in Xuyi County, Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu Province. During his escape, he once sneaked back to Xu Yi with the intention of murdering his ex-wife again. What kind of person is this, and how did he hide his whereabouts during these 11 years? How did the police finally catch him? Recently, Jiangsu police released some pictures recorded by the police when Zhou Yongsen was arrested.
In June this year, several policemen from Xuyi County, Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu Province drove thousands of miles to Ningde City, Fujian Province. This time, their task was to bring back a middle-aged man who had been hard tracked by Xuyi police for 11 years.
The case occurred at about 9: 50 pm on December 7, 2008. After receiving the report, the police quickly arrived at the scene of the incident.
Chen Yong, Instructor of Criminal Police Brigade of Xuyi County Public Security Bureau, Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu ProvinceThere was a moped lying on the ground at the scene, and some fragments of motorcycles were scattered on the ground at the front side of the car, including some tools and gloves. A male victim was in the facade room on the east side of the scene, at the door of a shop, and there was a pool of blood on the ground, and a female victim was not far from the south side of the scene.
The police initially judged that this was a case of intentional homicide. The victim is a man and a woman.
Zhao Biao, deputy head of the Interpol Brigade of Xuyi County Public Security Bureau, Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu Province:One of the men died when "120" arrived at the scene, and another woman was found dead when she arrived at the hospital on the way to treatment.
The criminal suspect attacked the street with a knife and caused death. This is a major case that has not happened in Xuyi County for many years, and its nature is very bad. Through on-site investigation, the police quickly locked in a man.
Zhao Biao, Deputy Chief of Criminal Police Brigade of Xuyi County Public Security Bureau, Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu ProvinceAccording to our on-the-spot investigator’s visit, on-the-spot investigation and inspection, witnesses said that the man who committed the crime was a man named Zhou who lived in Tiantai Lane, Xucheng Town.
The police confirmed that the suspect’s name was Zhou Yongsen, and the Xuyi County Public Security Bureau immediately dispatched elite police to set up a task force on the spot to investigate Zhou Yongsen’s home, the place where he might stay and the external relations, and set up a bayonet at the intersection of Xuyi County to prevent escape. However, there was nothing in the search in Xuyi area that night, just as everyone continued to dig deep into the relevant clues, a worrying news suddenly came from the team responsible for the peripheral investigation.
Chen Yong, Instructor of Criminal Police Brigade of Xuyi County Public Security Bureau, Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu ProvinceI found him at a gas station leading to Mingguang Road, and there was a record of cycling to refuel at night. You won’t find it later. But the only direction that that road leads to is Anhui Mingguang.
According to the calculation of refueling time afterwards, only ten minutes after the incident, Zhou Yongsen had already set foot on the road to mingguang city. That is to say, when the police grasped this clue, he probably had fled Xuyi. Therefore, the police quickly adjusted the deployment of police force and pursued it in the direction of Mingguang, Anhui Province overnight. At the same time, they contacted the Mingguang City Public Security Bureau to set up some control points at the intersection in Mingguang. However, until the next morning, the police in both places found no trace of Zhou Yongsen.
Analyze the motive of the crime and investigate the escape direction
The suspect disappeared, and the police continued to look for his trace while conducting a more in-depth investigation of the case. Then, why did Zhou Yongsen commit such a vicious crime in the street? Where on earth would he flee to?
There are two victims in this case, a man and a woman. Forensic examination found that both of them were stabbed several times, and they were almost fatal.
Zhao Biao, Deputy Chief of Criminal Police Brigade of Xuyi County Public Security Bureau, Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu ProvinceThe male deceased was found by the emergency doctor to have a fatal knife, which had touched the abdominal organs, one knife was inserted in the heart and the other knife was inserted in the spleen of the abdomen. Another woman also had three or four cuts on her heart and abdomen. Among them, the fatal injury is also the internal organs of the injured.
They used to be lovers. Why did they turn against each other?
Among the victims, the female Ning was a bathroom attendant and the male Liu was a truck driver. Through investigation, the police found that Zhou Yongsen and the female victim Ning had known each other for a long time, and they were once boyfriend and girlfriend. However, Zhou Yongsen didn’t agree with Ning’s reason for breaking up. He felt that he was really giving, but the woman didn’t really treat him. Moreover, Ning just broke up and began to associate with a new boyfriend, which made Zhou Yongsen feel cheated even more.
Knowing the night of the murder by visiting the police
Through the visit, the police learned more details about the night of the crime. On that day, Zhou Yongsen saw Ning and her boyfriend Liu on the Huaihe River Bridge in Xuyi County after drinking. At that time, Liu was riding an electric car, and Ning was sitting in the back seat, looking very close. Zhou Yongsen didn’t say anything after seeing the two men, and quietly followed them by bike. And deliberately took a shortcut to the front of the two and hit their electric car head-on.
Chen Yong, Instructor of Criminal Police Brigade of Xuyi County Public Security Bureau, Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu ProvinceThe female victim Ning Mou took out the phone to call the police at that time. Zhou Yongsen grabbed the mobile phone, then touched something similar to a dagger from the car and kept licking the female victim Ning Mou.
In less than a minute, the victims Ning and Liu were both smashed to the ground by Zhou Yongsen.
Chen Yong, Instructor of Criminal Police Brigade of Xuyi County Public Security Bureau, Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu ProvinceFrom the crime scene at that time and the injuries on the victims, it should be seen that Zhou Yongsen is a very ferocious person and his crime is reckless.
The crime time is short, and the monitoring record of the gas station is blurred.
According to the witnesses, the time he committed the assassination of the two victims was very short, less than a minute in total, and then he immediately disappeared into the darkness on his motorcycle. When the police received an alarm from the masses and arrived at the crime scene, Zhou Yongsen had fled to Mingguang, Anhui. This is a fuzzy figure recorded by the monitoring probe of the gas station, which is located next to the highway from Xuyi to Mingguang. This is also the last clue about Zhou Yongsen obtained by the police at that time.
Claiming to take the initiative to reveal his whereabouts, he has disappeared since then.
In February 2009, that is, two months after the murder, Zhou Yongsen’s sister suddenly received a phone call. On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yongsen said that she was in Xiamen, Fujian Province, and she planned to commit suicide by jumping into the sea because of her long-distance escape. However, when Xuyi police found the place where Zhou Yongsen called in Xiamen, Fujian, they found no trace of him. This was the only time that Zhou Yongsen voluntarily revealed his whereabouts, and since then he has disappeared. Many people, including family members, think that Zhou Yongsen really committed suicide by jumping into the sea. To everyone’s surprise, on March 2, 2014, Zhou Yongsen, who had disappeared for five years, suddenly appeared in Xuyi County, the home of his ex-mother-in-law. This time, he stabbed his ex-wife’s mother’s brother with a knife.
Zhou Yongsen’s ex-wife said that both of them were injured. It happened that she didn’t come home.
After receiving the alarm, the police immediately arranged a bayonet on the main traffic road for blocking control, but Zhou Yongsen escaped first.
After years of absconding, he suddenly appeared again.
Zhou Yongsen’s reappearance made his ex-wife and family feel scared. While strengthening the protection of Zhou Yongsen’s ex-wife, the police went all out to investigate Zhou Yongsen’s escape clues.
Zhou Yongsen committed another crime, which attracted the attention of the Jiangsu Provincial Public Security Bureau. Later, they listed the case as a case supervised by the provincial department, and reported it to the Ministry of Public Security, and issued a B-level wanted order to Zhou Yongsen, which was wanted nationwide.
So why on earth did Zhou Yongsen go to his former mother-in-law’s house? Further investigation by the police found that Zhou Yongsen’s target was probably his ex-wife. After he divorced his ex-wife six years ago, he was punished by the police for hurting his ex-wife.
Fu Yonggang, Captain of Criminal Police Brigade of Xuyi County Public Security Bureau, Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu ProvinceIn fact, after divorcing him, people reunited their families and found someone else. Then he saw him and his wife, that is, his ex-wife and his current husband, go to the square of the lobster festival to watch a performance. Then he couldn’t accept this fact, and then he went up to hurt his wife, and then he was detained by our security.
March 2, 2014 is the second day of the second lunar month. According to the local custom of Xuyi, all the daughters married on this day have to go back to their parents’ homes. By checking and monitoring the police, it was found that Zhou Yongsen appeared near the former mother-in-law’s house early this morning. However, I waited for most of the day, but I didn’t wait until my ex-wife came back. The police speculated that Zhou Yongsen could not wait, so he went into the house to look for it.
Before committing a crime, prepare to buy transportation fully and specially.
However, as soon as he entered the compound, his ex-mother-in-law saw him, so he stabbed each other and found that his strange ex-wife brother came out to stop him, and he was stabbed, and then Zhou Yongsen quickly fled. The police found that he came back after careful preparation and planning. He took a black car to Sihong County, which is adjacent to Xuyi, one day in advance, bought an assembled fuel moped at a roadside stall, and rode to the former mother-in-law’s house overnight to lurk.
Zhao Biao, Deputy Chief of Criminal Police Brigade of Xuyi County Public Security Bureau, Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu ProvinceHis ex-mother-in-law lives on a hillside near Heqiao Street, which is about 2 kilometers away from the mountain. The police station is also about 1500 meters away from this intersection. He thinks he will run away after committing the crime, and he will run down the mountain after committing the crime from his mother-in-law’s house. It will take at least 3 minutes to run down the mountain. So after a preliminary guess, he thought he could run away in three minutes.
According to the police, Zhou Yongsen had studied medical skills when he was young and had a strong ability to survive in the wild. The police believe that this is the main reason why Zhou Yongsen was able to escape and successfully hide himself.
Not long after the second incident, Xuyi police determined the range of Zhou Yongsen’s absconding according to the clues they had, just in some counties and cities in Fujian and Guangdong. Therefore, these locations have become the key areas for case handlers to control.
On June 8 this year, the police in Jiaocheng District, Ningde City, Fujian Province found the suspect Zhou Yongsen, who was in rags and unkempt, during an investigation in the suburban junction, and immediately informed the police in Xuyi.
Fu Yonggang, Captain of Criminal Police Brigade of Xuyi County Public Security Bureau, Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu ProvinceAt that time, I asked him to send me the photo first. When he first sent it, because I was deeply impressed by this person, he was detained by the public security organ once before, and I handled it at that time. So as soon as he sent it, I looked at the photo and said that it must be this person. There should be no mistakes.
When I was arrested, I still had thoughts of revenge.
On the same day, the police sent a special person to escort Zhou Yongsen back to Xuyi, and he was finally arrested after absconding for eleven years. According to Zhou Yongsen, he still hasn’t given up the idea of revenge on his ex-wife. At the same time, he also confessed that during his escape, he was on tenterhooks every day and had no place to live.
The suspect Zhou Yongsen confessed that after killing his ex-girlfriend and others in December 2008, he fled to Xiamen, Fujian Province in February 2009. It was at that time that he called his sister and said that he would commit suicide by jumping into the sea.
Suspect Zhou YongsenAt that time, I felt as if I was basically ashamed to live in this world, and I was unable to live in this world.
Zhou Yongsen confessed that he did try to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, but he failed because the sea was too shallow. Later, he decided to continue to flee and fled to Ningde, Fujian. During his escape, Zhou Yongsen said that his life was very difficult, but the idea of revenge on his ex-wife never disappeared. It turned out that he blamed his many frustrations on divorce.
Chen Yong, Instructor of Criminal Police Brigade of Xuyi County Public Security Bureau, Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu ProvinceHe is rather withdrawn and not very good at communicating with others. He likes to think about things in his own mind, and sometimes he thinks about them, especially with a violent tendency to retaliate against his ex-wife.
Zhou Yongsen’s ex-wife worked as a waiter in a local hotel in Xuyi. In 1998, they got married and gave birth to a boy. Because of his wife’s good looks, Zhou Yongsen often suspected that she was having an affair, so they quarreled and even had a domestic violence. Finally, the ex-wife couldn’t bear it and chose to divorce.
After divorcing his ex-wife, Zhou Yongsen talked about several girlfriends, but the woman said that she had terminated her relationship with him because of personality problems. In 2008, he met Ning and thought he had found a true lover, but he didn’t expect Ning to break up soon. Not long after that, Zhou Yongsen brutally killed Ning in the street.
Zhao Biao, Deputy Chief of Criminal Police Brigade of Xuyi County Public Security Bureau, Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu ProvinceAfter killing two people in that business in 2008, his desire to retaliate against his ex-wife became stronger. Because of this idea, he has been wandering outside for so many years.
The suspect Zhou Yongsen confessed that during his escape, he never dared to go to places where he needed to prove his identity, did not dare to work, and even dared not rent a house. He could only live in culverts or abandoned houses and make a living by picking up waste plastic bottles. However, it is not easy to live without a fixed place and eat the last meal.
In March 2014, Zhou Yongsen, who had fled for five years, once again returned to Xuyi to carry out a plan to retaliate against his ex-wife. However, because his ex-wife was not at home, he did not succeed. He fled back to Ningde again. He always feels that he can still hide, wait for the opportunity and commit crimes again as he did last time. What he didn’t expect, however, was that a hunting net had spread.
On June 8, 2019, the suspect Zhou Yongsen identified the scene under the leadership of the police. At this point, this case that has gone through nearly eleven years has finally been solved.
