Chapter 7: Thieves also have their ways

There is a small railway station called Caijiazhuang. Passing trains only stay here for five minutes. There are few passengers. There is only one policeman in the police station of this small railway station. The policeman's name is Lao Luo. He is in his 60s and has a smile. He should be the oldest in China.

The policeman is also the policeman with the best temper.

The walls of the police station are covered with banners and various awards. All these honors are the result of a dog. One cold morning, when Lao Luo was patrolling the route, he found a puppy lying next to the railway track.

It was almost frozen to death. Lao Luo took it back and raised it like a child. This dog is not a drug-detection dog in the true sense. According to the local words in Caijiapo, it is a "local dog". But

This native dog's magical sense of smell is amazing. It can smell all kinds of criminal smells, including explosives, sulfuric acid, alcohol and other prohibited items on the train, including obscene CDs and controlled knives.

It can also be found. What’s even more amazing is that it is naturally sensitive to drugs. It can distinguish heroin, methamphetamine, ecstasy, cocaine, and pethidine one by one. From 1998 to 2000, the drugs caught at Caijiapo Station

There are 11 traffickers and countless other criminals.

This dog has a glorious name: Lei Zi.

On January 7, 2000, Lao Luo discovered four suspicious people at the exit of the station. They were Cuban, Xiao Youchui, Gu Li, and Balang. This was the first time they had been involved in drug trafficking since they cooperated. Cuban

He Guli dressed up Balang as a primary school student, and Balang put on his schoolbag for the first time. What was inside was not stationery and textbooks, but K powder and cocaine. He was wearing a red scarf and a sun hat, which made him feel very awkward.

Lei Zi sniffed each of their luggage, and finally barked at Balang and bit his schoolbag. Balang was afraid of the big dog, broke away from his schoolbag, and ran away. Little Oil Hammer, Ku

Ban and Guli also fled in all directions. Lao Luo did not chase after him. He was an old man in his seventies after all. He pulled his schoolbag out of Lei Zi's mouth, opened it, sighed, and said: "These gangs

Guy."

That night, four people were discussing quietly in the shadow of a wall near the station.

Little Oil Hammer said: "I told you earlier, it's better to keep it in your stomach to be safe."

Gu Li said: "Unfortunately, I failed the first time."

Balang said: "That big dog is so powerful."

Cuban said: "I have a solution."

Little Oil Hammer said: "Tell me about it."

Cuban said: "Let's go steal the stuff back."

Gu Li said: "Stolen from the police station?"

Cuban said: "Yes."

Balang said: "There is an old man there, that's the one."

The little oil hammer said: "Haha, good, it's worth doing."

"We have to prepare," Cuban said.

Little Oil Hammer said: "Let this old idiot policeman see what a snitch with special skills is."

The courtyard wall of the police station is not high, so it is easy to climb over the wall and enter. There is a dog tied under the grape trellis in the courtyard, and there are two cement huts. There are two signs hanging at the door. One reads "Caijiapo Railway Police Station" and the other reads "Caijiapo Railway Police Station".

"Freight Checkpoint".

Lao Luo put the intercepted drugs into the safe, and waited until the next morning for the city bureau personnel to take away the drugs. Before going to bed, he did not forget to reward Lei Zi with a sausage. In the middle of the night, when the wind blew, he

He locked the door. He slept until 10 a.m. the next day and missed checking a shuttle bus. This was very strange because he had the habit of getting up early. Apart from a headache, he didn't feel anything strange. He waited until the market

When people from the bureau arrived, they found that the drugs were missing. The windows were closed, and there was an iron fence outside. The door and safe were in good condition, with no signs of prying, and no traces of theft were left at the scene.

How on earth were the drugs stolen? Lao Luo couldn't figure it out.

Some thieves target police stations and police stations, not because they are bold, but because these places are less guarded and it is easier to succeed.

Let's go back to that night and take a closer look at the entire theft.

When a train passed by, Kuban and Xiaoyouhui climbed over the wall and entered. The dog in the yard barked. The barking of the dog was masked by the rumble of the train. After the train passed by, the dog would keep barking, so let's let it go.

Dog shut up.

There are only a few ways to silence a dog during a burglary, including killing it with a gun or crossbow, feeding it poisonous food, or using a flash, such as an ordinary camera, removing the astigmatism glass and flashing several times at the dog.

Under strong light, the dog cannot open its eyes for a few minutes, causing a brief dizziness, and then kills it. Legend has it that the corpse exterminator in western Hunan knows a "mute dog technique" and throws a few drawn talismans next to the dog.

The dog stopped barking. In fact, it was caused by a special herbal medicine.

Cuban and Xiao Youhui used anesthetic injections. They put the anesthetic at one end of the plastic pipe and blew it hard from the other end to the dog. After a while, it would fall into coma. Zoo keepers often treat beasts like this.

There are also cases in Hwaseong where criminals used flying needles to rob.

The key to the success of this theft is to make the dog unconscious first, and then make the person unconscious.

A small oil hammer stepped on Cuban's shoulder, and sprayed a drug into the house through the gap above the window. There are many kinds of drugs, and modern burglaries often use triazolam and ether. Once, thieves used small gas tanks to

As tools for burglary, relatively rare ones include shoulder-slapping intoxicants and Ecstasy cigarettes. Thieves in the Ming and Qing Dynasties mostly used incense and small oil secretly made from herbs such as Datura flowers and Naoyang flowers.

Hammer uses a spray-type anesthetic, which consists of methoxyflurane, cyclopropane, and isoflurane. This kind of drug can make people unconscious in one minute. The doors and windows in Lao Luo's house are closed, and the drug is not effective.

Evaporates faster.

After Lao Luo fell into coma, he had to solve the window problem. Each steel bar of the iron fence was very thick, and only a giant could bend it. Cuban and the little oil hammer wrapped a towel soaked in water around the two steel bars, and then

Use a wooden stick to twist and rotate, and the steel bars will slowly bend. This is a simple and effective labor-saving technique. Any driver in the field army knows how to pull out a truck stuck in the mud. The foreman of a certain hotel

This method saved more than a dozen people and saved them from the fire. Bending steel bars is sometimes particularly necessary.

Balang got in through the gap in the window grille, covered his mouth with a wet towel, found the key to the safe, took out the drugs, put the key back in its place, and climbed out of the window.

It is worth mentioning that Cuban and Xiao Youhui deliberately covered up the traces of theft. They restored the window grilles to their original shape, removed the anesthetic injection from the dog, and even removed the footprints. This was not done out of prank, but because they consciously wanted to

It was done flawlessly. In the robbery case in Hegang, Heilongjiang, the criminals shot and picked up bullet casings at the same time. Bai Baoshan shot an innocent old sheepherder before the robbery just to exercise his courage and marksmanship.

For criminals, crime is an art.

On February 3, 2000, the day before the Spring Festival, a fire broke out on the 6th floor of the Xingshi Railway Employees' Residential Complex. The mother and son were trapped on the balcony. The woman was so anxious that she shouted for help. She was also holding a child. The child was 4

Around the age of 18, due to fear, his cries changed his tone of voice, and thick smoke mixed with firelight poured out from the balcony.

Before dawn, the neighbors who woke up from their sleep immediately called the police and quickly organized rescue. Some people tried to open the security door of the house but failed because the living room was blocked by the fierce fire.

The people watching downstairs were helpless. Someone suggested tying a rope from the balcony to rescue the mother and son. The rope was immediately found, but how to send it up?

The woman on the balcony had her hair burned. She took off her clothes and covered her head. The child's cries became hoarse. The situation was extremely critical. The firetruck was delayed in arriving. If she waited a little longer, the woman would probably be unable to bear it.

Jump down from the building.

At this time, a man stepped forward silently. He picked up the rope, bit it in his mouth, and climbed up the sewer pipe on the wall. His agility stunned the onlookers. He climbed to the sixth floor and adjusted his posture.

, stepped on the bolts that fixed the sewer pipe, jumped lightly like a gecko, and reached the balcony.

He quickly tied the rope, and under the illumination of the flashlights of the people downstairs, he held the child in one hand and grasped the rope with the other hand and slowly descended. When he descended to the third floor, he paused for a few seconds.

Seconds seemed like centuries to the people watching below. People held their breath and clearly saw his hand being torn by the rope and bleeding. He frowned, and then gritted his teeth to hold back the pain.

It slipped down in one breath.

The audience cheered in unison, a neighbor took the child, and some elderly people shed tears. Then the firetruck came, and the scene was chaotic. The young man who risked his life to save people never said a word, and people didn't even find out who he was.

Time left quietly.

Afterwards, the woman and her husband searched for the savior in many ways. They published news on radio and newspapers and asked witnesses. Some people reported that the young man had long hair and tattoos on his arms. He might be a migrant worker renting a house nearby.

The couple went to the local police station to search for temporary residents. After hearing their description, an experienced policeman said:

"There are only two types of people who can climb the sixth floor with bare hands. One is a well-trained SWAT soldier..."

The couple asked: "What about the other one?"

The old policeman hesitated and replied: "That person is probably a thief."

This thief is a little oil hammer.

People who do evil also have a good side. Education director Ma Jueming, who embezzled 730,000 yuan, has supported several poor college students for many years, human trafficker Zhao Guiqin saved a child who fell into the water, murderer Bao Jinlong built a bridge in the village, and rapist Zhen Hong planted trees in the countryside.

Xiao Youhui walked into a residential area and saw a fire in a house. At first, he wanted to see the excitement, and even felt a little gloating. Later, he heard clearly what the child on the balcony was shouting, and the child shouted

He shouted loudly: Dad, Dad... He suddenly remembered that when he left home, the child was only 10 months old. He had been on the run for 3 years. His son should be more than 3 years old, and he could also call him dad. He

Feeling sad and ready to leave, the shouts hit his heart. The moment he turned around and picked up the rope, he was no longer a thief or a wanted criminal - he was a father.

After rescuing people, where did Little Oil Hammer go?

He got on the train.

From the train, he could see his home, a small yard on the plains of northern Hebei, with a pond in front of the door and several poplar trees planted there.

His memories of home began with that pond.

When he was a child, he often sat under a tree by the pond and watched the train pass by. He followed his mother to steal coal and tied a long bamboo pole with a homemade scratching claw. This simple tool was invented by the locals. Later, he used

With this kind of claw-hook passenger's luggage, no matter how fast the train is traveling, as long as the window is open and he reaches out his hand, the passenger's bag on the table will disappear. He worked as a laborer on a construction site and drove

He owned a tractor and studied household appliance repair for a period of time, but he soon gave up on these. As he said, "My arms also wanted to work, but my head didn't agree." He stole not because of poverty, but because of his inability to do so.

Change poor lives.

Later, he got engaged to a woman named Hong.

He sat with her on the haystack.

She said: "When my neighbor Xiaoxiu got married, her husband gave her three pieces of gold and one wood as a gift."
