The abbot of a temple in Jiangsu was actually the suspect “Hongtao 5” who was pursued by the Guangzhou police for many years and absconded for 16 years after murder! Recently, with the strong support and cooperation of Suqian police in Jiangsu Province, Li Tianyou (male, 41 years old, from Jiangsu), who was suspected of intentional homicide in Shiqiao Street, Panyu District 16 years ago, was arrested and brought to justice. At that time, Li Tianyou had already had his pseudonym Yang, and was the legal representative of the temple (i.e. “Abbot”) in Siyang County, Suqian City, Jiangsu Province.
The police officer in charge of the case introduced that Li Tianyou’s escape experience is like a martial arts novel. 16 years ago, after robbing and killing people in Panyu, Guangzhou, he sneaked into the temple to avoid hunting. He became a monk, with a pseudonym of the monk Yang. He traveled to many provinces and cities, fled between various temples, and finally became the abbot of a temple in his hometown. He also became a celebrity in the local Buddhist community and many believers. After big data analysis, the police found that the monk Yang was actually the murder suspect “Red Tao 5” who escaped 16 years ago. He was arrested while he was about to escape from the skylight.
16 years ago, robbery and murder for money. On January 7, 2002, the Panyu police received a report from the police of the police, saying that his friend Lu (male) disappeared in the early morning of January 6. The police then found Lu in a rental house on Shiqiao Street, Panyu District. Lu was dead at that timeCinema and his property was lost.
Not long after the incident, Panyu police arrested three suspects Geng, Hu and Weng (female), suspected of participating in the robbery and killing of Lu, and another suspect, Tianyou, was on the run.
The suspect confessed that after New Year’s Day in 2002, Li Tianyou found Geng and Hu and told them that they had an opportunity to “get rich” – Li Tianyou found that Lu was very goodThe money was conspired to take Lu back to the rental house rented by Weng, and Li Tianyou and others waited for an opportunity to enter the rental house to rob.
On the day of the incident, Li Tianyou took Geng and Hu into the rental house rented by Weng first and waited. At around 22:00 p.m., Weng took Lu back to the rental house. As soon as he entered the house, Li Tianyou and the other three worked together to push Lu down on the bed, covered Lu’s mouth with his hands, and tied Lu’s hands and feet with ropes. After a punch and kick, Li Tianyou found two mobile phones and a wallet from Lu, gave one of the mobile phones to Geng, and gave Hu another 1,000 yuan. Lu died of suffocation and the four of them fled from the rental house.
Lu’s family and friends have been unable to contact Lu, so they failed to find it from multiple sources and called the Panyu police. The police quickly captured Weng, Geng and Hu, but the cunning Li Tianyou kept absconding. The real murderer was exposed, and the monk was unusual. The Panyu Police Team Babaylan woven a large number of police forces to search for Li Tianyou, but Li Tianyou was like “evaporating from the world”. Over the past 16 years, the police officers in charge of the case have changed one after another. Every police officer has not forgotten the case and has not missed every small clue.
In April 2012, Guangzhou police issued a “Poker Wanted Order” to the society, listing Li Tianyou as the “Red Peach 5” who pursued the escape. In September 2016, the Panyu police, who were pursuing hard, found through big data comparison and analysis that a Buddhist monk Yang was very similar to the “missing” Li Tianyou.
The information shows that Yang is a monk from a temple in Siyang County, Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, and is also the head of the temple. One is the suspect of robbery and murder who is on the run for the crime, and the other is the abbot who preaches and recites the Buddha. Is this the same person?
With the question, the Panyu criminal police set off for Suqian immediately, but died in the temple. Abbot Yang has left the temple and is unknown where Komiks is located! The police vaguely felt that Yang was probably Li Tianyou who had been absconding for more than ten years.
Through comparison, the police officer in charge of the case confirmed that Yang was Li Tianyou who had been absconding for more than ten years. Through a large number of visits and investigations, the police officers in charge of the case used big data to compare and analyze, and finally grasped several important clues about Yang. Police follow the lineAfter tracing, but at the end, I found that all the clues were broken. The disciples and believers who were most closely related to Yang on weekdays did not know Yang’s traces. They were also looking for his “master”.
The murderer was chased at night, and the murderer was finally arrested
The Panyu criminal police sorted out the case information over and over again, screened out various clues without getting tired of it; conducted investigation experiments over and over again, and comprehensively compared various clue information. Finally, Li Tianyou’s hiding area was determined – an old-style community Komiks. The police officers in charge of the case visited several target residential buildings and finally determined the house where Li Tianyou was.
At 16:00 p.m. on December 28, 2017, the police officers in charge of the case came to Litian, where they hid, with the cooperation of Suqian police, and waited for more than ten hours. The temperature dropped sharply at night, and the police officers in charge of the case were still waiting. There was heavy fog in the early morning, and the visibility was extremely poor, which caused trouble for the arrest. The police officers in charge of the case readjusted the arrest plan.
At 6:00 am on December 29, the police officer in charge of the case rushed into Li Tianyou’s residence and arrested Li Tianyou, who was about to escape from the skylight.
“Take me awayCinema!” Seeing the police officer coming to arrest, Li Tianyou immediately became depressed and raised his hands.
From his hair to be a monk, he has been in many temples in 16 years. After Li Tianyou was arrested, he explained his 16-year escape.
After the incident that year, he fled to Shaoguan and Yunnan, and then to Jiangsu. In order to cover up, he has been hiding in various temples and finally settled in a small temple in Siyang County, Suqian City, his hometown.
He met many people during his days hiding in various temples. In 2011, with the help of others, he applied for an ID card with a household registration as Wuqiao, Hebei.His name is Yang.
After that, he issued a precept in a temple in Henan Province under the name of Yang, and officially became a religious person. In 2014, Li Tianyou, whose pseudonym was Yang, became the abbot of a temple in Siyang County, Suqian City.
Relevant local people introduced that the temple was originally very small, with only a few monks, and only Li Tianyou was willing to come. Before Li Tianyou was involved in the case, he worked as a technician and knew how to massage and acupuncture. He treated local people. In addition, he was willing to endure hardships and had a brain active, which had a very influence in the local area. Many people began to believe him and began to donate money to the temple, including 100,000, 200,000… more and more. After several years of development, the temple has become larger and larger in scale, and after its renovation and expansion, it looks grand and grand.
As Li Tianyou’s reputation in the local Buddhist community has become higher and higher, more and more believers and disciples “follow” him. But he was very low-key, and he rarely participated in large-scale public activities. He never showed his face to take photos. When he had to, he lowered his head and refused to look at the camera.
Li Tianyou never goes online and learns about external affairs from several close disciples. All people entering the temple must provide their ID cards, and he also asked his disciples to pay special attention to those with Guangdong household registration. At the end of 2016, the vigilant Li Tianyou escaped from the temple, almost cut off his connection with everyone, and hid in a van, eating and living in the car, with only one disciple providing him with daily needs and delivering and providing him with messages.
I have lived in a van for about half a year. In June 2017, Li Tianyou moved into a community and opened a skylight on the roof ceiling of the room. He used 100,000 yuan in cash to open a small opening in order to escape with money at any time. In the room where he lived, the police also found more than 700,000 yuan in cash.
On January 1, 2018, Panyu criminal police who had been away from home for many days escorted the murder suspect Tianyou, who had been away for 16 years, back to Panyu.
