Singapore homicide: The deceased was holding **hair, which had not been solved for 40 years, and ** sent a provocative greeting card.
What is the use of hair for criminal investigators?There are many aspects. Forensic doctors can extract DNA genes from hair strands and learn more about case detection through gene comparisonThe criminal police can check the economic living standard of the owner of the hair according to the condition of the hair under the microscope, such as the color, thickness, and split ends of the hair, so as to further narrow the scope of investigation
However, in the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century, the ability to solve cases was tested by the limitations of science and technology.
More than 40 years ago, in 1979, a brutal ** case occurred in Singapore. The victims were four siblings, the eldest of whom was only 10 years old.
There was a lot of blood at the scene, and the younger brother was still holding a lock of hair in his hand, which was said to have been ripped off his head by ** during the struggle.
Three weeks later, Singapore ** still had no clues to solve the case, so the heartbroken ** chose the New Year, that is, the day of the family reunion, and sent a greeting card written in Chinese to the parents of the deceased, with wild words written on it:"You have finally cut off ties with your parents: you have finally cut off your children and grandchildren.
Obviously, this sentence is not only a provocation to the family of the deceased, but also a demonstration to Singapore**. However, the case remains unsolved to this day, and ** is still at large somewhere in the world.
What kind of case is this, which will make ** linger for decades?
Family harmony was completely broken.
January 6, 1979 is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and the Lunar New Year is only three weeks away. Like China, Singaporeans are in the festive mood at the time, which is the busiest and happiest time of the year.
Before the kids got out of school, the couple who lived in Geylang Bahru Residences woke up in the dark as usual to start their busy day.
The couple's husband, Chen Kuncai, is a school bus driver, and his wife, Li Meiying, is responsible for taking care of the children on the school bus. Their usual job is to pick up the children early in the morning, return to school in the afternoon, and then drop them off at the doorstep. The couple relied on this job to support their family. Life is hard, but it's also very happy.
It wasn't until the bell rang at 6:35 that Chen Kun and Li Meiying finished washing up and left. Before leaving, Li Meiying pushed open the children's door as usual, looked at the four children sleeping on the bed, walked to the small bed with a smile, helped them snuggle in the quilt, kissed each child's face gently, and then got up and closed the door, and went to work with her husband.
Among Li Meiying's four children, the eldest daughter is 10 years old and the younger daughter is only 5 years old. All four children attend primary school and kindergarten. Due to the special working hours of Chen Kuncai and his wife, they deliberately found a school near their home to facilitate their children's schooling.
In addition, they also agreed with the children that as long as they called home at about 7 o'clock in the morning, the father and mother would tailor a special wake-up number for the children.
On this day, Li Meiying took the time to call the landline at home as usual, but no one answered the ringing for a long time.
At first, she thought that the four children were asleep and didn't hear the bell, so Li Meijing put down the earpiece and called it again, but found that no one answered.
Why don't you pick up **, did everyone get up and go to school?"Li Meijing guessed. But the school is so close to home, there is no need for the children to leave so early!
Li Meiying was surprised to find that she had called ** three or four times and still no one answered, so she simply called her neighbor ** and asked him to help check the situation at home.
However, a few minutes later, Lee Mi-young received a strange message from a neighbor: someone knocked on the door loudly, but no one answered, as if there was no one at home.
The children don't answer **, and the neighbors knock on the door and no one answers, so nothing must have happened at home, right?Lee Mi-young suddenly felt uneasy. But her work with her husband wasn't over yet, and while she was eager to go home and see what was going on, she could only suppress her thoughts for the time being. By the time she finally finished sending off the morning students, nearly two hours had passed since the morning **.
Li Meiying's mood has been fluctuating in her heart, at first she didn't say anything, because the car was full of students, she was worried that her husband would drive, but now she couldn't help it and told her husband about the child.
Chen Kuncai was also shocked when he heard it, and the couple couldn't wait to put on a pair of wings and fly back to see the situation at home.
However, when they opened the door and saw the situation in their home, it turned into a nightmare that they will never forget.
What used to be a cosy home is now hell.
As soon as the door opened, Lee called out the names of each child, but no one answered.
Did everyone really go to school today?Li Meiying thought so at first, but when she walked through the corridor and into the living room, she was suddenly surprised to find that the children's small schoolbags were still neatly stacked on the table, and there was a strange smell in the air.
She and her husband took a look, then quickly ran into the children's room, the bed was empty, and the two of them split up in the room. When they finally ran to the bathroom and opened the door, Li Meiying screamed and almost fainted, of course, her husband's condition was not very good.
What kind of tragic scene did Li Meiying see?She had never seen so much blood, the bathroom floor was stained red with blood, the blood spread like a gutter in all directions, and the four children were lively and lovely at first, but now they were covered in wounds, piled together, and fell in a pool of blood, and their chests no longer heaved. When the mother saw the scene in front of her, it was as if she was dead, and her spirit completely collapsed.
The four babies who were still sleeping soundly in bed when they went out in the morning suddenly disappeared. Even people who don't have children will certainly not be able to control their emotions when they see this picture.
Lee Mi-young's screams came from the still closed door and caught the attention of the neighbors. When the neighbors saw the scene of the crime, they suddenly understood why no child had opened the door that morning.
Before the police arrived, Li Meiying fainted several times. She was stopped several times when she was going upstairs with her four children. The scene was as calm as possible until the police arrived. However, for Li Meiying and his wife, this home has undoubtedly become a hell on earth.
People pinned their hopes on the police, but when the police arrived, they realized that this was a very difficult case.
* Investigation is ongoing, but the culprit has not yet been caught.
After receiving the report, the local police department in Singapore realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately sent people to the scene. However, even well-informed police officers can't help but be shocked by the scene in front of them.
It was a boy without arms!
The accompanying forensic doctor examined the four small corpses and found that the corpses were covered with wounds, and it seemed that ** had injured them with tools many times before his death;The wounds on the corpse looked like they had been wounded by locusts, but when examining the scene of the crime, they did not find any tools that matched the wounds. **Suspicion** is trying to dispose of the tools of the crime.
Another important aspect is that the small lock of hair that Lee's 10-year-old eldest son is holding in his hand does not seem to be long enough for a man's hair, and it is suspected that the boy may have ripped it off the other man's head with a rough hand while struggling.
With the key factor of hair, the case would have been easier to solve. But that was the late 70s of the 20th century, and DNA had not yet been used in criminal investigations, so hair was just a decoration for **.
Geerangpalu,** Brunei Darussalam.
Due to the tragic nature of the incident, it didn't take long for it to sweep across Singapore. Who doesn't have children, let alone four children who died together?Not only the families of the victims, but also all sectors of society hope to seize ** as soon as possible.
The pressure of society has made Singapore** more eager to solve the case, hoping to find ** as soon as possible and return justice to the deceased and his family.
However, during the actual combat exercise, Singapore** realized that with the technical level at that time, it was very difficult to solve the case. Although the bathroom of the Chen family is stained with blood, there will be no movement, and there are no footprints and handprints on the floor and walls, of course, it is impossible to judge the gender and approximate height and weight of ** based on this.
In addition, ** also found that the doors and windows of the Chen family were intact, and after the inspection of Chen Kuncai and Li Meiying, ** knew that the family had not lost money.
Based on the above points, there is a preconceived judgment: it is entered directly from the gate, and it is one of the four children who open the door;There was no money lost in the house, which proves that **'s motive is very clear, just to take four innocent lives. But why would a child open the door to a stranger without any defense?
This proves that the boy who opened the door must have been recognized. As a result, the search has narrowed down considerably.
What kind of resentment can two children under the age of ten suffer?They fear that their death is related to their parents. In view of this, ** began to investigate the social relationship between Chen Kuncai and Li Meiying.
Singapore** thought they could catch ** this time**, but they underestimated Chen Kuncai's rich social connections.
Singapore and Malaysia are also multi-racial countries with diverse identities. Mr. and Mrs. Chan have worked in the school services department for many years and have known countless colleagues, teachers, students and parents, not to mention friends in everyday life.
It takes a lot of time and effort to investigate them one by one, but ** didn't give up. They began to investigate everyone that Chenova had thought of in recent years. But after countless inquiries and visits, no suspicious person was found.
It stands to reason that no matter how big a person's social circle is, it is not unlimited, since the perpetrator is an acquaintance, how can he not find any clues?But that's exactly what happened.
* During an investigation of Mr. and Mrs. Qian's social circles, a young man in his early twenties was found to be suspicious, so the taxi driver reported it to the police. The driver reported to the police that after the man got into the car, he vaguely saw red things on the car, such as paint, bloodstains, etc., and became suspicious. After comparison, the police took the man to the police station for questioning.
However, the civilian police were again disappointed. The young man remained silent and did not say a word, except to give a vivid account of what he had done between 6:30 and 7:10 a.m. on January 6. There were only suspicions, no evidence, and the young man had to be released after a few days of detention.
The case is again deadlocked. But just when ** had a headache, ** revealed some clues.
The long-delayed case, the provocation of the **.
In the days when they were busy solving the case, the Chen family and his wife were not idle, and during this time, their bodies and minds were hit like never before. In addition, since the case could not be solved, various rumors circulated in society. Some people even believe that Mr. and Mrs. Chen did not do anything immoral, but to avenge their son and daughter. It really breaks people's hearts.
Lee Mi-young (Lee Mi-young) and her husband have to mourn the loss of their son on the one hand, and on the other hand, they have to deal with the investigation of ** and the gossip of society.
More extreme is the behavior of **.
Three weeks after the murder of the children, it was the Lunar New Year, and every family was immersed in the joy of the festival, but the Chen family, who had suddenly lost four children, fell into gloom.
At this time, Chen Kun found a card at the door of his house, and when he opened the card, his pupils shrank suddenly. Written on the card are kanji:
It reads:'You've finally severed ties with your children and grandchildren, hahahaha!
Due to the large number of Chinese in Singapore, Tan Kun Choi was able to read the Chinese characters on the cards without much effort, and coupled with this cathartic hatred tone, he realized that this was a deliberate attempt to provoke them or take revenge on them. However, because the monitoring was not widespread at that time, it was impossible for Chen Kuncai to know who sent the card, and it was a holiday at the time, and every household had to enter the house every day, even if a stranger suddenly came to deliver the card, it would not arouse the suspicion of the surrounding neighbors.
In both cases, Singapore** failed to seize the opportunity to catch the criminals in one fell swoop, even though the criminals were almost on their doorstep. Although the card is printed with Chinese characters, it is not possible to determine whether it is Chinese or if it is confused with Chinese characters.
* All it seems can do is go through the trouble of checking Chen's social circle over and over again, but to everyone's disappointment, they still haven't found a suspect.
Years have passed, decades have passed.
This is Chen Gang and Li Meiying.
From 1979 to 2021, 42 years have passed. Apart from the family of the deceased and witnesses at the scene, fewer and fewer people remember the case. Today, the tragedy can only be learned through news reports from those days.
The child died, but he was nowhere to be found, how did the Chen family spend the rest of their lives?In the author's eyes, the following picture jumps out on the page: the couple sits at home every day, stroking the Chinese New Year's Eve clothes and socks of the only four children, and recalling the happy past of the family of six over and over again.
Tankunchoi and Leemeeyoung did make it this far. The death of their child changed their lives dramatically, and they quit their jobs and moved out of the heartbreaking Geylang Bahru to prepare for a new life.
Sometimes, they also have deep doubts: Are their actions really too flamboyant, thus fueling the desire to kill children?But at this moment, all assumptions no longer hold true. They can't selfishly decide to hunt down their own children because of their parents' aging.
The survivors continue to age, but the four children who died at the time are still missing. When will they be caught, and when will their souls rest in peace?It is clear that this will become more and more difficult over time, but the author still holds out hope that this day will come.
The most chilling thing in this case were the four children who used to smile brightly. In an instant, they did not hesitate to hand over their trust, but reaped the dead"Gifts"。
More than 40 years have passed since the incident, and people have finally forgotten this tragic unsolved case. However, this case also leaves us with some warnings: always be vigilant and don't trust others easily;At the same time, it is also necessary to cultivate the ability to recognize people and avoid colliding with hidden **.
