Lo Rongzhi was an ordinary elementary school teacher, however, between 1996 and 1999, she and her boyfriend, Fa Ziying, committed a series of heinous kidnappings and murders in multiple cities. One of the most distressing was the case of the little carpenters, whose cruelty and influence touched the nerves of the whole country. Although Fa Ziying was arrested and executed in 1999, Lao Rongzhi managed to escape for 20 years until he was captured in 2019. After a four-year trial, she was finally sentenced to death, which was executed on December 18, 2023. What is striking about this case is not only the brutality of the crime itself, but also how she chose to deny it in the face of so much evidence and remained silent about what happened during her time on the run.
Before Lao Rongzhi died, people were left with questions about her failure to pay off the arrears of 200 yuan in Huabei. However, this request is puzzling, because there was no mobile payment platform as convenient as it is now, and Lo Rongzhi had no chance to open a treasure account. In addition, her account was handled with her ex-boyfriend's mother's mobile phone number and ID card, which is even more incredible. So why was she so eager to pay off the 200 yuan when she was about to die?This has sparked speculation that it was a hint left by Lo Rongzhi that she may have accumulated a deposit while on the run, and signaled her family to find the wealth through the password given by her sister. Some people also believe that this is just a pretense, and the Lao family may know that there is actually no 200 yuan Huabei arrears, but may have mentioned the password for some kind of password communication.
Lo Rongzhi's crime is truly appalling, not only taking the lives of innocent people, but also imposing a heavy psychological and economic burden on the victims' families. Until now, she owes 4 in compensation$80,000 is still outstanding. However, what she chose to mention before her execution was the repayment of a mere 200 yuan Huabei, which made many people feel incomprehensible. A ruthless and murderous female devil, why is she so concerned about debts?There must be some hidden secrets, maybe the arrears are just a cover, and there may be some kind of secret code or hidden wealth behind it.
People interpret Lo Rongzhi's actions, words and deeds differently. Some people believe that when she was dying, her heart was full of remorse and remorse, which made her want to pay some trivial debts, and it may be that a kind of inner goodness remains. However, more people believe that there are only two possibilities for her to think about such a trivial thing before she dies. One is that she is performing, trying to pretend to be innocent at the last moment to divert attention from her;Another possibility is that she had other purposes, such as giving her family clues by hinting that they would find the wealth she had amassed while on the run.
Regarding Lao Rongzhi's behavior, we have to admit that it is really unbelievable that a murderous criminal still has the courage to raise the issue of arrears and search for wealth when facing death. Perhaps this is a true reflection of the distortion of human nature and sin, or perhaps her psychology has been distorted to an incomprehensible level. In any case, this move exposes some of the secrets and ways of thinking that Lo Rongzhi hides in the dark, which is incomprehensible and imaginable.
Finally, Lo Rongzhi's case is not only a special case, but also highlights the importance of the boundaries of social civilization and the rule of law. Her crimes have made people see the dark side of human nature and the distortion of crime, and it has also made more people reflect and be vigilant about how to build a safer and more just social environment. The implication of Lao Rongzhi's imminent execution and the vivid mystery also make people think more deeply about the complexity and inadmissibility of human nature. Whether as individuals in society or as members of society as a whole, we must learn from this case, stick to the bottom line of the law, and pursue fairness and justice to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy.
