On December 22, Zhu Ling died in the hospital. Many people mourn this unfortunate girl today, and until she died, she didn't see the ** who hurt her arrested. But there are more people who don't know what is going on in Zhu Ling's caseI'm going to introduce it to you today.
Zhu Ling is a student at Tsinghua University, excellent in character and learning, and originally had a bright future, but since November 1994, his fate has changed dramatically. From November 24, 1994, Zhu Ling, who was originally in good health, suddenly began to have a stomachache, couldn't eat, and then had an upset stomach. Immediately afterwards, Zhu Ling began to lose his hair inexplicably, and it was lost in a few days.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to a young girl in the flower season. But a month after her parents took her to the hospital**, her condition was relieved and her hair grew back. In order not to delay his studies, Zhu Ling returned to school at the end of the winter vacation in 1995 and the beginning of the new semester. But on March 6 of the same year, her condition was ** again, her leg pain was severe, and she felt dizzy, and her parents hurriedly sent her to the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University for treatment.
On March 9, Zhu Ling's parents took her to the neurology expert clinic of ***, and Professor Li Shunwei received the consultation. Professor Li Shunwei believes that Zhu Ling's condition is very similar to thallium salt poisoning, but because Zhu Ling himself has no opportunity to contact thallium salt, and *** does not have the conditions for this test, he did not test Zhu Ling for thallium poisoning.
After that, Zhu Ling's condition worsened, and ** regarded her as acute disseminated cerebrospinal radiculoneuritis. Because the root of the disease was not found, Zhu Ling suffered from respiratory failure, fell into a coma, and suffered from hepatitis C. It was her high school classmates Pei Zhicheng and Cai Quanqing at Peking University who translated Zhu Ling's situation into English and sent distress emails to the world through the Internet to get some answers. Of the 1,635 replies from 18 countries and regions around the world, one-third believed that thallium poisoning was typical.
Pei Zhicheng took the translated email to the door of the hospital's intensive care ward to show the doctor, but he did not pay attention to it. It was Zhu Ling's parents, with the help of a conscientious doctor, who obtained Zhu Ling's urine, cerebrospinal fluid, blood, nails and hair, and found Professor Chen Zhenyang of the Beijing Occupational Disease Health Prevention and Control Institute to do a thallium poisoning evaluation, and only then did they determine that their daughter was really thallium poisoning, and it was twice. After the second poisoning, the thallium content in Zhu Ling's body far exceeded the lethal dose, and Professor Chen Zhenyang suspected that someone had poisoned him. At the same time, it is recommended that Zhu Ling take Prussian blue detoxification.
According to Professor Chen Zhenyang's appraisal results, the hospital began to give Zhu Ling Prussian blue detoxification. On the day of consumption, the concentration of thallium ions in the blood begins to decrease. 50 days after she went to *** for medical treatment, thallium was finally excreted from her body. However, because the thallium ions stayed in the body for too long, Zhu Ling's nervous system was seriously damaged, his vision was almost completely lost, and his body function was also seriously damaged, and he woke up after being in a coma for more than 5 months.
After learning that their daughter might have been poisoned, Zhu Ling's parents immediately contacted the teacher in charge of student work at Tsinghua University to file a report. Teacher Xue did not delay and immediately reported the case to the local police station. The Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau also officially opened an investigation.
Because thallium is a highly toxic chemical, the number of people who can be exposed to it is very limited, and more than 200 people in Beijing at that time may be exposed. According to Zhu Ling's classmate Wang Yifeng, there were a total of 7 people at Tsinghua University who could contact thallium. Two were teachers, three female graduate students and two undergraduates.
Female graduate students live in other buildings, and it is difficult to get in touch with Zhu Ling. And among the undergraduates, there is a boy and a woman. The girl Sun happened to be Zhu Ling's roommate. And Wang Bu, the old public security officer who handled the case, also tended to be "poisoned by acquaintances". However, the suspect took advantage of the late characteristics of the thallium poisoning test report to destroy the items in Zhu Ling's dormitory. led to the lack of key evidence, and also laid the groundwork for her escape in the future.
In April 1997, Beijing ** conducted the first surprise interrogation of the suspect Sun, and after being interrogated for 8 hours, Sun was taken home by his family. In August 1998, the public security organs announced the closure of the case, removed the suspicion of Sun, and lifted the restrictions on her leaving the country. Subsequently, Sun went abroad and changed his name. But bizarrely, Zhu Ling's parents were not informed of the incident. The response they get is 'under investigation' always. This also complicates an already confusing case.
Due to the irreversibility of the thallium poisoning damage, Zhu Ling's intellectual, visual, physical and language functions were not restored, leaving permanent and serious sequelae, and his life could not be managed, so he could only rely on his parents. Zhu Ling's tragic experience has attracted the attention of many netizens and celebrities, and they have made a Weibo for her, and Chen Kun even donated 100,000 yuan to Zhu Ling's parents.
On April 16, 2013, with the closure of the Fudan poisoning case, calls for a thorough investigation of the Zhu Ling case reappeared. However, on May 8, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau responded through its official Weibo account, saying that it could not solve the case due to the loss of evidence, and that there was no interference in the process, calling on the public to look at the case rationally.
Ten years later, on November 24, 2023, Zhu Ling celebrated her 50th birthday in her hospital bed. However, at this time, she had been suffering from illness for many years. After thallium poisoning, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2023 and is in critical condition. Despite the best efforts of her family and doctors for her, her life could not be saved in the end. At 22:59 on December 22, Zhu Ling passed away in Beijing at the age of 50.
Zhu Ling's death has brought this case, which has been dormant for many years, back to people's attention. Her tragic experience makes people wonder: who did this to such an innocent girl?Despite the fact that the suspect was targeted, it was ultimately impossible to find conclusive evidence to bring the culprit to justice.
The Zhu Ling case is an unsolved tragedy, which leaves us not only with grief and regret, but also with questions about justice and truth. We cannot allow such a suspicious case to disappear into the dust of history. For Zhu Ling's family and people who care about this case, finding the real culprit and returning Zhu Ling justice is their greatest wish. I hope that one day, this case can be resolved justly, so that Zhu Ling's spirit in the sky can rest in peace.
