On the afternoon of April 22, 2021, a theft occurred in a community in Xiantao, Hubei Province, where the thief stole 6,000 yuan in cash and jewelry worth more than 20,000 yuan.

According to the owner's reaction, when she opened the bedroom door, she found a jewelry box scattered on the ground, the home was also turned into a mess, the cabinet door, the drawer door were open, the owner immediately realized that there was a thief into the house, so he immediately called the police.

The police officers who arrived noticed that the window of the bedroom on the south side of the victim's home had been kicked and broken, and it was obvious that the burglar had entered the house from this place.

The police learned from the peripheral investigation that this community has just been built, only a small number of people live in, the community has two entrances and exits, the security guard at the gate is very tight, and the back door is basically unguarded. The stolen owner's house is located in the innermost part of the community, very inconspicuous, the owner's family has just moved into the community, in case of accidents, installed a monitoring probe in the living room.

Through video surveillance, the police clearly saw the entire process of the man's theft, the suspect is a middle-aged man wearing a black tight jacket, wearing blue jeans, wearing black leather shoes, wearing a black hat, wearing gloves on his hands, and wearing a pair of black wide-rimmed glasses, a meter and a half tall, thin body, this more fashionable looking man's entire face is covered by a duck tongue hat mask, the investigators can not identify its facial features,

The suspect man first entered the second bedroom to rummage, and after rummaging for a minute without finding the property, the suspect man walked to the master bedroom again. About three or four minutes later, the man came out of the master bedroom on the east side, with a pink bag obviously in his hand, and at 15:20:25, the man calmly left the door of the home of the lost owner.

After the police called out the thief's portrait through monitoring, they showed it to the owners and security guards of the community, the victim and the property of the community did not know this person, at the same time, in the monitoring of the community gate, they did not see the footprints of the man entering the community, so the investigator immediately looked at the monitoring outside the community and immediately found the traces of the suspect.

Riding a silver-gray motorcycle, the suspect parked the car in a parking lot next to the community, passed through the parking lot, and entered the back door of the community.

In the picture, it can be clearly recognized that this is a middle-aged man, who hurriedly skipped under a probe next to the east door of the building of the crime unit, at this moment, it is the time of the crime! This place happens to be the building of the crime scene, the man went straight to the back door of the community, when he found that there was an iron fence at the back door of the community, he quickly turned around, walked to the bottom of the victim's house, saw that there was an empty room on the first floor with the window open, very skillfully turned in...

The suspect who flew over the window on the first floor

After 2 minutes, he returned to the first floor window, climbed down the window to the victim's home on the second floor to commit theft, came out and stayed in the empty room on the first floor for about a minute, and then quickly left, and the investigator judged that the man was hiding the stolen items.

The man's modus operandi, disguise method and anti-investigation awareness are beyond the imagination of the public security organs.

Investigators clung to key features such as black motorcycles and duck-tongue hats to track the suspect's escape, and surveillance showed that the suspect rode a motorcycle along the road of the community to the north, and then went east into an urban village. Since the urban village is a surveillance video blind spot, the suspect has lost track here.

Investigators visited surrounding villages centered on the section where the suspect had disappeared, but found nothing. Meanwhile, the police expanded their scope and took all the surveillance from the surrounding intersections, and suddenly, in a photo captured at a road checkpoint, a motorcycle caught the attention of video investigators.

It turned out that on Sunday, March 28, 2021, at 21:50, a sudden theft broke the tranquility of a community in Xiantao City, and the stolen scene was also on the second floor. The owner found that the bedside table closet in the master bedroom was open, and the stolen items included two watches and a platinum necklace, and more than 20 high-end cigarettes.

The police immediately set up a special case team, overnight organization of police forces to fully devote themselves to the investigation of the case, at the scene of the crime, criminal investigation technicians noticed that the anti-theft net on the window of the master bedroom of the owner's home was violently pried open, they hoped to get more clues from the physical evidence at the scene, but the suspect's modus operandi was very skilled, no valuable clues were found at the scene, it seems that the suspect has a strong sense of anti-investigation.

Who exactly did the crazy theft? There are hundreds of households in the community, why did the suspect directly attack this household?

Through a more careful analysis of the crime scene, the police found that the second floor of the 3.28 stolen owner's home just had a platform, the window was opened on the platform, the thief was first to the second floor to step on the point, and then to the third floor, push open the window door on the third floor, follow the sewer pipe and then slip down, open the room's anti-theft net inside the platform, and then climb in to steal.

Through inquiry, the police determined that the time of the crime should be between 1 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., and the investigators immediately viewed the surveillance video of the gate of the building where the crime occurred and around the home of the owner, and soon, there was a discovery.

Surveillance shows that at 14:20 p.m. that day, a young man rode a silver-gray motorcycle to the owner's building, but he did not enter the building immediately, but rode on the car and looked around, until someone entered the building, he immediately got out of the car and followed him into the building, however, an hour passed, the surveillance screen never saw the man coming out of the building, where did the man go?

The suspect drove a motorcycle to the 3.28 community where the crime occurred

Just when the investigator was wondering, at about 15:20, a young man came out of the building, wearing a black jacket on his upper body, a duck-tongue hat on his head, and a purple-red bag in his right hand, the difference was that the man's left hand had a heavy blue bag, and the man's hurried steps touched the investigator's nerves

The investigators judged that the two men entering and leaving the building were about the same age, and from the point of view of the clothing characteristics, the pants and shoes worn by the two men were the same.

The same pants and shoes

Although the two men in the picture are dressed very differently, the similar walking posture makes the police preliminarily determine that the two are likely to be the same person.

The police conducted further video tracking and found that the suspect man entered the building at 14:20, left the building at 15:20, and got on the same silver-gray electric car, which further confirmed the judgment that the two men in front and behind were the same person

The suspect tried to confuse the police line of sight, fled the scene when disguised, the investigator tracked all the way through the monitoring, the result was found that the suspect went back and forth on the street, entered a video blind spot and suddenly disappeared in the Jingrui community, the community is an open community, the community lives hundreds of families, no wall, no main road, only countless paths, southeast, northwest and four directions can be freely entered and exited, the complex terrain undoubtedly brings great difficulties to the investigators to track the suspect.

Combining the route the suspect took and the location where he disappeared, the police analyzed that the suspect was very familiar with the route of Xiantao District, and the suspect was likely to be a local

Just when everyone was at a loss, the investigator responsible for tracking the direction of the suspect's coming from finally found that the front image of the man was clearly seen for the first time in the gate of the north entrance and exit of the 3.28 crime community.

Monitor the first positive image of the suspect inside

Based on the characteristics of the video, it was inferred that the suspect was between the ages of 20 and 30, riding a silver-gray battery car, wearing a blue-gray-white striped shirt on top, blue jeans underneath, wearing a wide-brimmed glasses, and long hair.

So, from what direction did the cunning suspect come to the community? Investigators continued to investigate and found that at about 14:15 that afternoon, the man came out of a staircase in the community where the crime occurred.

In order to confirm the man's information, the police immediately came to the community to visit the security guards on duty, and as a result, a security guard reported that the owner's home on the second floor of the building was stolen on the same day, because the property loss was not large, the owner did not call the police.

3.28 Images of suspects before the first household in the community where the crime occurred was stolen

According to the reaction of the stolen owner, the thief was from the second floor balcony to his kitchen anti-theft net after dismantling, through the window into the home, the man left the bag in his hand, is his home clothes used, combined with the man's clothing characteristics when walking out of the building, the investigator immediately searched to check the image of him entering the community, it turned out that his dress had changed again.

At 1:20 p.m., a man in a black jacket and a black hat entered the building from outside the building with his bare hands, walked up the stairs, and half an hour later, a man wearing a blue-gray-white plaid shirt walked out of the stairs carrying a red bag.

The characteristics of the two men in and out of this one are exactly the same as those of the men who entered and exited the first stolen home on 3.28.

So, where did the suspect come from? Investigators continued to investigate, and it turned out that the suspect had come out of the Spring Community, about two kilometers from the stolen community.

Have there also been thefts in the Spring community? Does the suspect man live in the neighborhood? Or stay in the neighborhood? Because there is no surveillance in the community, these police cannot be confirmed

The special case team immediately carried out a secret visit and investigation around the spring community, looking for clues and traces of the suspects, and conducted a survey of the public parking lots in the community one by one, and did not find the silver-gray motorcycle that the suspect was riding, and at the same time provided the suspect's image to the community cadres and community security guards to identify, and no one recognized this person.

Investigators retrieved the monitoring of the entrance and exit of the spring community to watch and search for the figure of the suspect, but found nothing.

What's going on? Did the suspect really evaporate? Investigators noticed that there are many similarities between the two cases of 3.28 and the 4.22 theft case, the suspects are all targeting the residents on the 2nd floor of the residential community, violently breaking windows into the room, and the time of the crime is selected in the afternoon, so will the three serial thefts of 4.22 and 3.28 be the same suspect?

The police compared the suspect's vehicle and found that the basic characteristics of the motorcycle were the same, the only difference being that the motorcycle had a trunk and rearview mirror at the time of the 3.28 theft, while the 4.22 theft did not.

Whether the two motorcycles are the same motorcycle cannot be confirmed, but given the frequent use of blindfolding methods when the suspects escape, the investigators responded to the police by interviewing relevant people in the motorcycle market that this motorcycle may not have a tail box, but it must have rearview mirrors.

The police then made a detailed comparison of the two vehicles and found that the rearview mirror of the motorcycle ridden by the suspect in the 4.22 case had obvious traces of disassembly, and preliminarily determined that the two motorcycles were the same motorcycle

Who is this daring thief? Where did he come from? The special case team pieced together the impact of the three cases, which confirmed the police's previous speculation that the three cases were committed by the same suspect. At this point, the special case team decided to investigate the three cases together.

Just when the police investigation work was in full swing, the suspect did not stop the pace of crime, on the afternoon of 5.17, a burglary and robbery case occurred in the home of a 2nd floor resident in a small area of Xiantao City.

According to the information obtained by the police, the suspect is a thin man, when he found that there was a hostess in the house, he picked up a chair and smashed it on her, fortunately, there was a male relative of the hostess in the house, and after confronting him, the suspect fled

Investigators immediately looked at the surveillance inside the community and soon spotted a young man in a white shirt running out of the door of the building in the victim's home, and then escaping over the courtyard wall on the east side of the community.

5.17 The suspect who escaped after the case was discovered

After video tracking, it was found that on the day of the crime, the suspect came out of the community, rode north to the main road, then turned to enter the path, and then the suspect repeatedly turned around on the road to interfere with the police tracking.

The investigators noticed that during the escape, the suspect took off his white shirt and continued to use blindfolding in a vain attempt to pass the pass by constantly disguised disguise.

However, no matter how the suspect disguises himself, the police closely follow some key features such as the wide-rimmed glasses and black motorcycles worn by the man, and always track his escape trajectory.

At the same time, in the process of tracking, the investigators had an unexpected discovery, although the color of the motorcycle driven by the suspect has changed, but the model has not changed, through these details, the police have stringed together 4 consecutive cases, the man is the suspect of the serial theft!

Key evidence in the four stolen cases

Finally, in the video tracking, the suspect disappeared in the spring community, combined with the suspect from the spring community in the previous case, the police firmly believe that the community should be a foothold for the suspect.

The case has long been filled in the minds of every police officer and investigator, and in a subsequent community investigation, the investigators finally found the most important chip to solve the case: the motorcycle driven by the suspect!

However, in the surveillance probe near the community, what appeared in front of the police was a strange face, and the person driving the motorcycle was older, bald, and did not match the characteristics of the suspect man who committed the crime.

The suspect's superb camouflage skills confused the police's early sight

However, after tracking the trajectory of the man's activities, the police determined that the man was a suspect in the serial theft.

According to the household registration information, the suspect Wang Mou, 50 years old, a native of Xiantao, has multiple previous convictions for drug abuse and theft.

On June 4, 2021, criminal suspect Wang Mou was arrested at his home, and at the same time, the police found the wig he wore when committing the crime in his home.

In the course of interrogation, Wang was silent about the theft identified by the police, and denied it, the police used the camouflage props found in the home to restore the images in the surveillance according to the characteristics of the suspects captured by various surveillance pictures, in the face of a large amount of evidence, Wang finally confessed to his theft, and what awaited him will be another trial of the law.
