In Handan, Hebei, there is a 28-year-old beauty named Peng Mei. She went behind her family's back and secretly dated an old man in his sixties. After Peng Mei cheated the old man's pension, she ruthlessly proposed to break up. She even felt that this was what the old man deserved. The old man did not accept this treatment, and in a fit of rage, he killed Peng Mei and hid her body in his newly renovated house. This house was originally Peng Mei's new home, but she didn't expect it to become her place of death.
What happened to the case
The discovery of the case began on an ordinary morning. Lao Peng, a maintenance worker, received a ** from Peng Mei and asked him to help decorate the new house. He arrived on time, only to find the door locked and no one answered. Although the lights in the house were on, Peng Mei ** did not answer and did not reply to the message. Lao Peng felt uneasy and called Peng Mei's sister **, who thought that Peng Mei might have something to do or was in the bathroom, so she asked Lao Peng to wait.
However, after waiting for two hours, Peng Mei still did not hear from her. Lao Peng had no choice but to leave, but the inner uneasiness made him come again in the evening. This time, he brought Peng Mei's sister and prepared to find out the truth. They opened the door and were horrified to find Peng Mei lying on the bed, her eyes fixed on the door, her pants down to her ankles. They immediately called the police.
First responders and police arrived at the scene quickly, but it was too late. Peng Mei had already appeared on her body and had apparently been dead for several days. An on-site investigation revealed that Peng Mei's lower body was naked, and the cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation. Forensic tests also found traces of male DNA. The doors and windows are intact and there are no signs of being pried, which means that it is most likely an acquaintance.
The facts of the case gradually became clear
* Immediately intervene in the investigation, and the first object of suspicion is Lao Peng. According to his account, he arrived at the invitation of Peng Mei at 4 p.m., and the time of death determined by a forensic examination was around 5 p.m. This means that the elder Peng arrived before Peng Mei's death, and he stayed at the scene for about 40 minutes.
In the face of **'s inquiry, Lao Peng was calm and provided his trajectory for the day. In order to corroborate his claim, ** conducted a DNA comparison on Lao Peng, and the results showed that he had nothing to do with the case. Lao Peng also provided two key clues: first, he had received Peng Mei's **, and accidentally saved this call record, when Peng Mei was in danger; The second is that when he was waiting at the entrance of the building, he saw a bald man coming out of Peng Mei's house.
These clues caught the attention of **. Through the investigation of surveillance video, ** found that at 4:16 p.m., Peng Mei rode a bicycle back to the community and did not come out again. The surveillance also captured a bald old man who matched Peng's description, and the time of his appearance coincided with Peng Mei's death.
*Further investigation revealed that the bald man had already appeared in the community on the morning of the crime and had repeatedly entered and exited the unit where Peng Mei lived. The police of the surveillance team found traces of the bald man in an inconspicuous surveillance probe, and he later got into a taxi.
The police found the taxi driver. The driver recalled that the bald man got into his car that afternoon, looking very nervous and looking around. After spending nearly two hours in the car, he got out of the car in an urban village. The terrain of the place is complex and there is no surveillance.
Case resolution
* By investigating Peng Mei's interpersonal relationships, it was found that Peng Mei was close to a man. Peng Mei has an account with a separate password in her mobile phone, and there is only one man named Jiaxin in it. ** Suspect that this man is related to the case.
Upon further investigation, a suspicious voice from Jiaxin was found in the recording of Peng Mei's mobile phone, revealing his hatred for Peng Mei. **Found him by checking Jiaxin's circle of friends**, and after Lao Peng's identification, it was confirmed that this was the bald man he mentioned before.
Through further investigation of Jiaxin, ** locked his identity: Zhang Peng, 50 years old, a native of Handan City. ** Swift action to arrest Zhang Peng.
In the face of **'s interrogation, Zhang Peng confessed his crime. He also revealed that on the day of the crime, because of the anger and despair in his heart, he wrote a suicide note and prepared to commit suicide. However, by the time I woke up the next day, the wound had already scabbed.
Motive for killing
The relationship between Peng Mei and the old man originated from an accidental shake of the mobile phone. Peng Mei, who used to be a hotel receptionist and salesperson, later concentrated on taking care of her new house. She chatted with the old man for a month, and it soon developed into an intimate relationship. But soon after, Peng Mei began to borrow money from the old man, on the grounds that she was helping her parents pay off their debts.
The relationship gradually became complicated. Peng Mei has never disclosed their relationship to the outside world, and even her family does not know about the old man. What made the old man even more puzzled was that Peng Mei borrowed money from him many times, with a total amount of 130,000 yuan. And the old man, although he was fascinated by Peng Mei, gradually felt that something was wrong.
The old man begins to suspect the true purpose of Peng Mei's borrowing of money, and discovers that she has not used the money to help her family pay off their debts. As a result, their relationship became strained, and Peng Mei's attitude towards the old man gradually became cold. Faced with the old man's questioning and asking for money, Peng Mei resolutely refused and finally proposed to break up. Zhang Peng's anger reached its extreme, leading to tragedy.
Ending
The case shocked the entire community. Peng Mei's death reveals a tragic story: a complex and twisted relationship between a young woman and an older man that ultimately leads to tragedy. This case not only shows the dark side of human nature, but also reminds people to be more cautious and rational in emotional relationships.
Peng Mei's new house was supposed to be the beginning of her new life, but it unexpectedly became the end of her life. This case also makes people reflect on how trust and use between people, the interweaving of love and hate, can lead to irreparable consequences in extreme circumstances.
In the end, justice was served, but this tragic story, which will forever remain in the hearts of those who know it, is a reminder for everyone to be more deliberate in their emotions and relationships.
