Section 2: Director Feng (Part 2)

Director Feng said that he was tired, and I was tired of writing, so the two of them stopped talking and smoked quietly.

When we finished smoking a cigarette, Director Feng continued:

Let's take a look at the pickpocketing case of the chosen perpetrator, which has a single surname. As you have seen just now, most of the victims are elderly people who are slow to move, young women who are timid and afraid to speak out, and people who are believed to be carrying a certain amount of money. Pickpockets think these people are good targets because they have a lot of oil and water; At the same time, these people are relatively disadvantaged, they have a low risk of committing crimes, but the success rate is very high. The object of pickpocketing is divided into two aspects: people and things, as the object of pickpocketing generally refers to the property carried by others, including cash, securities or other small items such as BP machines, such as gold and silver jewelry, etc., these items are small in size and high in value, and pickpockets are more favored. The person who is the target of pickpocketing, also known as the victim of pickpocketing, is the owner or custodian of a particular property. Most pickpockets have some experience in stealing, and they generally do not start blindly, but after some detailed observation before committing the crime, they choose to be wary of people with low surnames and who may have more money.

Generally speaking, the following people are more likely to be targeted by pickpockets: First, outsiders. Whether it is a business trip, a tourist or a visit to relatives and friends, a worker or a businessman, etc., generally carry a lot of cash, steal it, and gain a lot, after being stolen, because the outsiders are not familiar with the local environment, stay for a short time and other reasons, rarely report the case, so it has become the focus of the pickpockets. The second is women and the elderly. Women often visit shopping malls for shopping activities, generally carry more cash, and in the process of shopping, they focus on selecting goods, bargaining, and be vigilant against low surnames. The elderly are old, their hands and feet are not very dexterous, and their reactions are relatively slow, and they are also very easy to become the target of pickpockets. The third is the passengers of buses or long-distance buses. Some pickpockets choose to steal single passengers with more luggage or rural passengers, because single passengers with more luggage will inevitably take care of their belongings and often take care of one or the other; Many rural passengers go out less and lack some experience in pickpocketing, so these two types of people are easily targeted by pickpockets.

Pickpocketers often get their hands on cash, BP machines, gold jewelry, and other small and light valuables, which are either cash or can quickly turn into cash.

For us to solve the case, the most difficult thing is the concealment of the means of committing the crime. In the course of committing the crime, pickpockets often use tricks such as blocking the perpetrator's hand with a newspaper or satchel, or two or three people surrounding the victim and having another person pick up. This is basically no site to investigate. At the same time, pickpockets sometimes use blades to cut leather bags, cut clothes, or use scissors to cut necklaces, earrings, etc., and also use tweezers to clip wallets and BP machines. In addition, some of the perpetrators are pickpocketing with their bare hands, and these personnel are often skillful and delicate, and the victims are not easy to detect, let alone the scene.

Another difficulty is that pickpocketing cases often occur in crowded places, sometimes there are many people next to them to see it, and some bystanders also kindly remind the victim, but the victim often still does not know what is going to happen, and is very annoyed by the sudden appearance of a reminder, and sometimes even scolds the reminder person for being neurotic. The majority of the masses are the self-preservation mentality of 'everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and no matter what frost is on the tiles of others', they should not see it when they see it, and turn a blind eye. After the case occurred, we asked these bystanders to investigate and collect evidence, and some of them were afraid of trouble or retaliation, and they were unwilling or afraid to testify, in short, they were unwilling to testify. It inadvertently encourages the arrogance of pickpockets and makes pickpockets act arbitrarily. You are engaged in criminal investigation, and you said that no one testifies, is it difficult to do?

The main law of pickpocketing cases. First, there are many repeat offenders and recidivists. Some habitual pickpocketing offenders and recidivists not only have great subjective and evil names, but are also skilled, their modus operandi are cunning and diverse, and their anti-investigation capabilities are extremely strong. Even some habitual offenders and recidivists have even co-opted and corrupted young people, instilled criminal thinking in them, taught them criminal methods, and then formed gangs on this basis to form some extremely harmful pickpocketing gangs. Second, there are many outsiders. With the development of the economy, the floating population in cities and towns has increased substantially, and they have made corresponding contributions to the construction and development of the local area, but due to their low cultural quality, poor adaptability and lack of moral quality, some outsiders cannot find suitable jobs for a while, but they embark on the road of pickpocketing in order to make a fortune. Third, there are a large number of teenagers and a significant young age. According to statistics, juveniles account for the vast majority of pickpocketing crimes, accounting for about 80% of the total. Fourth, the phenomenon of gang crimes is prominent. In recent years, the phenomenon of gang crime has become prominent, the degree of organization has become higher and higher, and some pickpocketing criminal gangs with many members, strict organization, and a clear division of labor have been formed. Fifth, the composition of the people involved in the case is becoming more and more complex. There are not only male and female surnames, but also adults and minors, not only people with a low level of education but also people with a high level of education, not only normal people but also people with disabilities, and the elements involved in pickpocketing are becoming more and more complex.

Another difficulty is the issue of law. In this pickpocketing case, sometimes, pickpockets don't always get a lot of money, sometimes it's only dozens of dollars, hundreds of dollars. If you meet a crowd with a sense of justice, you may be caught on the spot and sent to our police station. According to the law, this punishment must be judged by value, then it can only be detained for a few days, and the masses are not satisfied, saying that we are a family of police and bandits! Where can you be like you in a big case, you will be sentenced to more than ten years as soon as you are sentenced, so it has a striking force and deterrent effect! ”

"This pickpocketing crime generally has ten processes, such as 'finding, following, fixing, observing, covering, stealing, hiding, estimating, slipping, and selling'. Seeking is to find a target and then determine the target. 'Follow' is to follow on the road after the target is determined, looking for opportunities to commit crimes. When they think the time is ripe, they first touch the contents of the victim's clothes bag with their hands to see if there is any value in starting with them. 'Looking' is to observe the surroundings of the stolen object before proceeding. 'Covering' means that one person uses newspapers, clothes, etc. to cover the sight of others around him, and another person commits pickpocketing. 'Theft' is when pickpockets take advantage of crowded conditions to commit crimes......"

"Director Feng, you say slow down, you say slow down, I can't write as fast as Ah Dong, such a good thing, don't let me miss it, I have to learn from you well." I quickly recorded it in my notebook, but it was obvious that my writing speed could not keep up with Director Feng's speed of speech under the premise of being happy, for fear of missing important links, so I hurriedly reminded Director Feng.

"Hahaha, then I say slow down, then I say slow down." Director Feng continued to speak happily, and the speed of speech slowed down.

'Concealment' means that after the pickpockets steal the property, they immediately put it in their own pockets or transfer it to their accomplices, some of them are clamped under the armpits or tucked into the trouser belt so that they can be quickly thrown away when they are discovered, and the blades used in the crime are hidden in hidden places such as collars. 'Slipping' means that pickpockets will generally quietly avoid the owner and run away immediately after picking up property. 'Pins' are the disposal of stolen goods, and they often bring valuable items to the thrift market to turn them into cash, while other items such as documents are thrown into inconspicuous places such as garbage cans or toilets. ”

After finishing speaking, Director Feng asked, "Can you keep up with your current writing speed?" ”

I nodded.

"You're able to keep up now, and the point is that I'm done." Director Feng said teasingly.

We burst out laughing.
