She is here to work. The stall owner: I met two or three years ago and fled for 24 years. The "high looks" criminal was arrested in a market in Xuzhou. The stall owner: Jie Mouping
According to the Yumen Branch of the Yuncheng Public Security Bureau in Shanxi Province, Xie Mouping, who had been on the run for 24 years, has been arrested at the Yicai Market in Xuzhou City. On the evening of July 26th, Xie Mouping was taken back to Yuncheng.
It is reported that on the evening of July 7, 1999, a major criminal case involving one death and one injury occurred in the residential area of Shanxi Aluminum Base. Hao Moucang and Jie Mouping were suspected of committing the crime. In March 2013, Hao Moucang was arrested and brought to justice. In January 2020, the Yumen Branch of Yuncheng Public Security Bureau in Shanxi Province issued an open letter urging Jie Mouping to bring her to justice. The appearance of Jie Mouping in the wanted photos has sparked heated discussions and has been referred to as a "high beauty" criminal by netizens.
On August 1st, a reporter from Red Star News visited Kuiyuan Agricultural Market in Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province. A vendor told reporters that a few days ago, around 4 pm, he witnessed a group of people entering the market and taking away Jie Mouping from the stall. "Those people were not wearing uniforms, and there was no conflict." Later, the vendor saw the news and learned that Jie Mouping was a wanted criminal.
Several nearby vendors mentioned that starting from around the end of February 2023, Jie Mouping has been working at a spicy seafood stall not far from the entrance of the market. The stall belongs to a male owner, and Jie Mouping works for him. Every day around 5 pm, Jie Mouping arrives at the stall and leaves after working for a few hours.
"She hardly speaks," said a vendor. "She says she's from Hebei, and others call her Xiao Zhang. She doesn't usually dress up or put on makeup, which is similar to the photos of being arrested."
A vendor remembers that Jie Mouping "was very meticulous when buying groceries" and said, "She used to buy beef from me for thirty yuan, but she thought it was too expensive, so she didn't want it. When she bought groceries, she also negotiated with other vendors about the price. She wanted to cut the price of 1.5 yuan for groceries to 1.3 yuan."
The words "Spicy Little Seafood" were posted on the stall where Xie worked. Inside, about 10 square meters in size, there was a price list of Stinky tofu, etc., and a collection code was posted on the window. The Red Star News reporter noticed that around 4 pm, the stall opened. A female vendor near the stall pushed open the door and entered. She took out the small seafood from the refrigerator and displayed it on the table, and the transaction could still be processed through the payment code.
The reporter noticed that most of the other stalls were displaying vendor information documents, while Jie Mouping's work stall did not have similar documents. The female vendor told reporters that Jie Mouping is not the owner of the stall. The stall owner is a male and the payment code is the owner's QR code. Regarding the issue of identification documents, the female stall owner said, "This stall is for me." The female stall owner presented her chat records with the stall owner to the reporter. Since January 2023, the two have communicated multiple times about restocking situations, and the female stall owner has also filmed a video of spicy seafood inventory with the owner.
Soon, a man came to the stall to restock and claimed to be the stall owner. The boss mentioned that the rumor circulating online that Mouping is the vendor of the vegetable market has caused him trouble: "We are a chain store, and besides this, there are several more. Many people have asked me what happened when the vendor was arrested, and I was even called to the police station to inquire. In fact, I am the boss, and Jie Mouping is only here to help and work."
According to the boss's recollection, Jie Mouping did not use her real name. About two or three years ago, he met Jie Mouping while setting up a stall in the nearby area. This year, the stall opened, and Jie Mouping asked if she could come and take care of it. He agreed, "We didn't communicate much. She doesn't like to talk. Because we knew each other before, I didn't expect her to deceive me. How could I have thought of checking her name on my ID card? I had no idea she was a wanted criminal, and her husband didn't even know."
During the conversation between the reporter and the boss, a customer asked, "Is it open again here? Didn't it mean you were arrested?" The boss explained, "No, it's still ongoing."
