In February 2012, the defendant Xiong Dongping instructed Li Yangping and Lin Fangping in Kaijiang County, Sichuan Province to help them sell and transport drugs in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Li and Lin then temporarily stayed in Wenzhou City. Between March and May of the same year, Xiong Dongping contacted his superiors and instructed Li Yangping and Lin Fangping to purchase 3747.5 grams of methamphetamine (methamphetamine) and 2721.5 grams of heroin from Dongguan, Shanwei, and other cities in Guangdong Province, and shipped them to Wenzhou for sale. Li Yangping and Lin Fangping will transfer the collected toxic funds to the bank account designated by Xiong Dongping.

On May 7, 2012, the defendant Xiong Dongping contacted the drug dealer and instructed Li Yangping and Lin Fangping to transfer 100000 yuan of drug funds to their designated bank account. They also instructed Li and Lin to carry 170000 yuan of cash from Wenzhou City to Dongguan City and Lufeng City in Guangdong Province to purchase drugs.

In the joint crime, Xiong Dongping raised a criminal intention, contacted drug authorities, and instructed others to commit drug crimes.

Li Yangping and Lin Fangping were instructed by Xiong Dongping to actively carry out drug trafficking and transportation crimes, and their status and role in joint crimes were relatively smaller than that of Xiong Dongping. Xiong Dongping remotely commanded others to purchase drugs in Guangdong twice and transport them to Wenzhou City for sale. The quantity of drugs sold and transported is huge, causing great harm to society. The crime is extremely serious and should be punished in accordance with the law. Based on this, the defendant Xiong Dongping was sentenced and approved to death in accordance with the law, and the other defendants Li Yangping and Lin Fangping were sentenced to death with a two-year suspension of execution.

The defendant Xiao Wenzhong rented the basement of Li Shiqiang's house in Anyue County, Sichuan Province as a drug manufacturing facility to manufacture drugs. Before and after the Spring Festival in 2011, Xiao Wenzhong instructed Li Hua to purchase a large amount of raw materials for drug production in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. On the evening of April 4th of the same year, Xiao Wenzhong, along with Li Shiqiang, Li Hua, and Kang Fan, produced a large amount of methamphetamine liquid in the basement, and later instructed Kang Fan to take the above liquid to a rented house in Chengdu where Xiao Wenzhong stored it. In mid April, Xiao Wenzhong and Li Hua brought the above-mentioned liquid to another rented house in Chengdu for refining and crystallization. On the evening of the same month, Li Shiqiang and Li Hua assisted Xiao Wenzhong in producing methamphetamine liquid again in the basement. On the early morning of the same month, Li Hua followed Xiao Wenzhong's instructions to drive a bottle of methamphetamine liquid (weighing 632 grams) to Lezhi County, Sichuan Province, but was intercepted by public security personnel on the way.

After identification, the content of methamphetamine in the solid and liquid of the above-mentioned drugs ranges from 24% to 65.4%, reaching over 8000 grams.

In September 2010, the defendant Xiao Wenzhong sold 194.463 grams of methamphetamine (methamphetamine) to others in Chengdu.

（2） Judgment results

This case was first instance by the Intermediate People's Court of Ziyang City, Sichuan Province, and second instance by the Higher People's Court of Sichuan Province. The Supreme People's Court conducted a death penalty review of this case.

The court believes that the defendant Xiao Wenzhong collaborated with others to manufacture and transport methamphetamine, and sold methamphetamine to others, which constitutes the crime of trafficking, transporting, and manufacturing drugs. In the joint crime, Xiao Wenzhong rented a drug production site, instructed others to purchase drug production materials, mastered drug production technology, and directly participated in drug production. He also instructed others to transport drugs, making him the most serious principal offender of the crime and should be punished according to all the crimes he participated in and commanded. Li Shiqiang, Li Hua, and Kang Fan participated in drug manufacturing under the influence of Xiao Wenzhong, and their role in joint crimes was smaller than that of Xiao Wenzhong. Xiao Wenzhong collaborates with others to manufacture and transport a huge amount of drugs, and sells drugs to others. This poses great social harm and the crime is extremely serious, and should be punished in accordance with the law. Based on this, the defendant Xiao Wenzhong was sentenced and approved to death in accordance with the law, and the co defendants Li Shiqiang, Li Hua, and Kang Fan were sentenced to life imprisonment, 15 years in prison, and 14 years in prison, respectively.

Later, Yang Yongshu gathered Kuang Xichuan and others to drive Kuang's rented sedan from Beijing to Changping Town, Dongguan City.

（2） Judgment results

This case was first instance by the Beijing Second Intermediate People's Court and second instance by the Beijing Higher People's Court. The Supreme People's Court conducted a death penalty review of this case.

The court believes that the defendant Yang Yongshu knowingly transported drugs, and his behavior constitutes the crime of transporting drugs. Yang Yongshu, who invested in purchasing and assembling others to transport drugs, is the main culprit in the joint crime and should be punished according to all the crimes he participated in. Yang Yongshu transports a large amount of drugs with great social harm and extremely serious crimes. He was once sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment for drug trafficking and committed the crime of transporting drugs within five years after the punishment was completed. He is a recidivist and a repeat drug offender, with a deep subjective malignancy and high personal danger. He should be punished severely according to the law.

Considering that he exposed others' crimes after arriving at the case and had meritorious deeds, he can be given a lighter punishment according to law. Kuang Xichuan was invited by Yang Yongshu to participate in drug crimes and was also the main culprit in the joint crime. Considering that he truthfully confessed the crime and provided relevant information to the accomplice after arriving at the case, he can be given a lighter punishment according to law.

The punishment can be reduced according to law. Based on this, the defendant Yang Yongshu was sentenced and approved to death in accordance with the law, and the co defendants Dai Dao, Kuang Xichuan, and Jiang Qian were sentenced to death with a two-year suspension of execution, life imprisonment, and ten years imprisonment, respectively.

The criminal Yang Yongshu was executed in accordance with the law on June 20, 2014.
