After receiving the alarm, Deng Wenzhong, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation of the Changsha Railway Public Security Department, immediately led the criminal police detachment captain Chen Hongping, Loudi brigade captain Zhao Yun and investigators to the scene to carry out investigation visits and on-site inspections at Xiangxiang, Loudi, Shaoyang and other stations. The police station also responded urgently and set up checkpoints at every intersection where the suspect might have fled, but no stolen vehicles were found passing through these intersections.

 

The police found that similar car theft cases had also occurred in Changsha, Shuangfeng, Shaoyang and other places.

The car entered the Shangrui Expressway and headed towards Shaoyang. The police confirmed from the surveillance video in Shaoyang City that the car drove into the Jiangbei Market area of Shaoyang City and then disappeared.

 

"With so many stolen cars, could it be that the suspects drove them themselves? They must have sold them secretly. Let's start with the second-hand car market!" Chen Hongping, the leader of the task force, pointed out the direction of solving the case. The policemen from the task force put on civilian clothes, drove civilian cars, and visited all second-hand car trading markets in Shaoyang City, pretending to be second-hand car buyers asking "if there are any Cheetah V6 off-road vehicles for sale."

 

After several months of investigation and visits, in early February this year, Tang Yuliang, deputy captain of the Loudi Criminal Police Brigade, learned that in a residential building near the second-hand car market in Shaoyang, He Ningfeng, the ex-husband of a woman named Luo, was "very capable" and could often do tricks. to cheap used cars.

The investigators continued to investigate He and Huang and found that He remarried Peng in 2022 and had abnormal activities after the "9·30" incident. He appeared in Shuangfeng, Shaoyang, Changsha, Guizhou, Huaihua and other places. I didn't return to Loudi until half a month later. But there was nothing unusual in He's bank account. If He was a car thief, where did the money go after selling the stolen car?

 

The investigators saw clues from the account of He's wife Peng: 20,000 yuan in cash was remitted from Shaoyang to Peng's bank account after the National Day last year. Peng then withdrew it, and the remitter was Cai. On the National Day last year Later, he used a Cheetah V6 off-road vehicle, whose color and style were similar to those stolen on September 30.

 

On the morning of March 9, investigators Shi Shengxiang and Li Zhongwei stopped Cai driving a Cheetah in Shaoyang City in the name of police vehicle investigation. During the cross-examination, Cai claimed that the procedures for his car were complete, but the police found that the engine and frame numbers of the car had been changed, and its driving license was also forged.

At the same time, Cai confessed that his other Audi Q5 sedan was also sold to him by He. The truth came out, He Ningfeng was the car thief! After stealing the car, he transferred all the stolen money from the sale of the car to his wife's account in an attempt to confuse the police.

 

The main criminal was captured at the mahjong table

 

The criminal suspect was identified, and the task force quickly located Huang Xiangjiang's whereabouts in a house in a street office in Loudi City. The police discovered that He Ningfeng had arrived in Sichuan half a month ago. In order not to alert others, the task force decided to closely monitor Huang.

 

On March 10, the task force learned that He had returned to his hometown in Shuangfeng! Zhao Yun, captain of the Loudi Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Changtie Public Security Department, led the arrest team to the outside of He Ningfeng's house overnight. After investigation, He opened a mahjong parlor at his home and there were three tables of mahjong that night.

He didn't take it seriously when he saw the police arresting him for gambling. When questioned by the police, he claimed that he only played mahjong for 5 yuan, which was not considered gambling. The police suddenly revealed their identity and conducted a search, and seized a "car signal interceptor" from He.

 

After winning the first battle, Zhao Yun immediately led the arrest team back to Loudi City and planned to arrest Huang Xiangjiang. He confessed that he had teamed up with Huang to steal motor vehicles many times since 2021, stealing more than 30 motor vehicles in total, and all of them were sold in the second-hand car market at low prices of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. In order to facilitate theft, He deliberately purchased a rolling code decoder on the Internet. When some careless car owners used the remote control to lock the door, he would use this device to intercept the signal and then steal the car.
