The 12-year robbing of a gold shop in Nanchong's downtown area was solved
Located in the most prosperous downtown area of Nanchong, the Five Star Garden is an iconic landmark.
Twelve years ago, the Wuxing Garden Yijin Store was robbed by guns and the case was a sensation.
On September 19, reporters from Huaxi Metropolis Daily and cover news learned from the Shunqing Public Security Bureau of Nanchong City Public Security Bureau that the armed robbery of a gold shop had been successfully solved. The gangster was a driver of a motorcycle who had contracted gambling.
The gold shop in the downtown area was robbed in less than a minute
At 12:52 on July 27, 2008, a masked man rushed into the Nanchong Five-Star Garden Yijin Store, armed the only female clerk in the lobby of the store with a gun, and smashed the glass on the counter with a hammer. The gold jewelry worth more than 200,000 yuan was stolen and packed into a bag.
From entering the gold shop to succeeding in the robbery, the suspect only took less than a minute to commit the crime.
In the meantime, a man rushed out of the gold shop to intercept the suspect, but the masked man raised a gun to threaten him, and then disappeared into the traffic on a motorcycle parked on the side of the road.
The case took place in the downtown area of the prosperous part of the main city of Nanchong. The robbers dared to rob the gold shop with guns, causing a lot of shock.
Thousands of related personnel were searched and arrested throughout the city
Speaking of the "July 27" Jindian robbery, most of the "old criminal investigators" of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Shunqing Public Security Bureau are still fresh in their memory.
It happened to be Sunday that day. After the case occurred, the public security organs at the two levels in the urban area attached great importance to it and immediately established a task force.
Shunqing Public Security urgently mobilized more than 300 police officers, immediately sealed and controlled the surrounding area of the incident, and conducted large-scale investigations, and visited nearby people to obtain surveillance from the surrounding area.
Within an hour of the incident, all police forces in the whole situation were urgently mobilized to search for suspects throughout the city.
The criminal science and technology personnel of the sub-bureau conducted repeated investigations and evidence collection on the Jindian to ensure that no piece of glass, a strand of hair, or a footprint was missed.
In the gold shop where the incident occurred, in addition to the glass on the floor, the police also found a hammer left by the suspect in the panic.
After the police obtained on-site surveillance video, they discovered that the suspect had a strong anti-investigation awareness.
Not only did he break into the gold shop with a mask, he also pressed the brim of the hat very low.
As the coverage of road surveillance was not high at that time, the suspect eventually disappeared under surveillance, so it was impossible to determine his identity.
"Even if we find clues, we have to verify them one by one. In order to solve the case, investigators touched thousands of related personnel. Nearly 50 people in the Criminal Investigation Brigade worked overtime every day, regardless of weekends, and ate lunch in the office for half a year." The captain of the first team, Ling Sen, said that due to the limitations of technical conditions at the time and many other reasons, although the public security organs used a lot of police force, the case still has not made substantial progress.

Over the years, the police officers who handled the cases have changed one after another. In the archives of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, the files of the "27.27" case piled up nearly one meter high.
In recent years, the rapid development of criminal science and technology has provided new ideas for case detection.
According to Wang Changjiang, a police officer from the Criminal Science and Technology Office, after a lot of meticulous work, a major breakthrough was made in the "27 July" case.
After investigation, Ren Mou, a 45-year-old man from Jialing District, Nanchong City, was suspected of committing a major crime. His activity track, professional characteristics, and physical characteristics were very consistent with the previous judgment of the task force.
On the afternoon of September 10, in a rural teahouse in Jialing District, several plainclothes policemen from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Shunqing Public Security Bureau captured the lean suspect Ren.
According to Ren's account, in his early years he made a living by running "Motor", with a meager income but indulged in gambling and debts, so he started the idea of robbing gold shops.
He has successively purchased unlicensed motorcycles, hammers, simulated toy guns, masks and other crime tools, and has repeatedly taken the opportunity of running "motorcycles" in the five-star garden to observe.
After careful planning, the robbery was carried out at noon on July 27, 2008.
Ren confessed that he later absconded to Shenzhen, sold the stolen gold jewelry in batches, and received more than 20,000 yuan.
However, he was hospitalized for injuries and spent nearly 10,000 yuan, and the remaining money was spent on gambling.
For many years, Ren has been working outside, afraid to go home, always worried that the police will come to him.
Twelve years passed in a blink of an eye, and when he thought he could get away with it, he was caught by the police.
At noon on September 17, under the escort of the police, the suspect Ren Mou once again stepped into the gold shop where he robbed him 12 years ago to identify the crime scene.
Ren said that what he worries most is his elderly parents who regretted the robbery of the gold shop for life.
