Hitman Hires Hitman Who Hires Hitman Who Hires Hitman Who Hires Hitman And Got Caught
Morale of the story: don’t kill. Or think about it.
Six people have been arrested in Guangxi, China, for a foiled murder plan of one man. This is why people believe they can only get the job done when they do it themselves. Five of the men arrested were ‘outsourced’ for the job of killing the one man who survived and reported them.
The chaotic hitman hiring began in 2013 when Tan Youhui hired Xi Guangan 2 million Yuan or about $282,000 to kill Wei, his competitor. He shared with him the details of the man.
Xi then went to look for Mo Tianxiang and paid him half of what he got and passed the details to him with the same order. Xi asked for an additional million Yuan, to which Tan agreed to after Wei is confirmed dead.
Mo went to find Yang Kangsheng and gave him the same order, offering a total of 770,000 Yuan and only paid 270,000 Yuan upfront. But Yang instead went to find another man to offer 200,000 Yuan to finish the job for him. That man is Yang Guangsheng and is also promised the 500,000 Yuan after it’s all done.
Finally, Yang found another man named Ling Xiansi to do the job, offering 100,000 Yuan.
But when the crumbs dripped to Ling’s bowl, he thought that the amount was not worth the risk of killing someone. So instead, he went to see Wei and convinced him to instead fake his death.
Wei reported this to the police.
All six of them were arrested and here are the sentences: Tan will serve for 5 years in prison, Xi will serve in prison for 3 years and a half, the two Yangs received 3 years and 3 months, Mo for 3 years, and lastly Ling for 2 years and 7 months.
