"I really want to live a normal life, but I can't! Because I have a mission, that is, to fulfill my father's entrustment! Get justice for your brother! Recently, after receiving the notice of litigation obligations and rights from the procuratorate, Li Haiyu told netizens on social **. After more than 20 years of chasing the murderer, she found the suspect Yi Mouhua who killed her younger brother. However, due to the lack of evidence for a long time, the suspect was released after several months of detention, leaving her in extreme pain for two years. Later, in the process of filing and reviewing the case, the procuratorate supplemented some new evidence and reported it to the Supreme People's Procuratorate for approval of prosecution in accordance with the law.
A dispute arose over three days' wages
Boys under the age of 9 were taken away
Li Haiyu is a native of Xinning County, Shaoyang, Hunan, born in 1977, 6 years older than his younger brother Li Huanping.
In 1992, her father Li Zhongxiang took her mother Wang Manmei and her younger brother Li Huanping, who was less than 9 years old, to Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province to contract sugarcane land, and Li Haiyu stayed in his hometown to study.
That year, 21-year-old Yi Mouhua came to Zhanjiang and met Li Zhongxiang, who claimed to be Yi Mouqing at that time, and was also from Xinning County. Li Zhongxiang asked Yi Mouhua to stay and guard the sugarcane field, and the other party worked for a month and left after paying his salary.
Soon after, Yi Mouhua came to the door again, claiming that Li Zhongxiang gave 3 days' wages less, and the two sides clashed, and Yi Mouhua threatened to let the Li family cut off their children and grandchildren.
Li Huanping usually boarded at the school. Two days later, the teacher came to ask Li Huanping when he would go to school, and the family learned that the child was missing. According to the teacher's recollection, Yi Mouhua went to the school two days ago to take Li Huanping away, under the pretext that his mother was critically ill.
Li Zhongxiang and the villagers searched the surrounding area for several months, but found no trace. On February 19, 1993, a villager found a corpse in a sugarcane field, dressed in the same clothes as Li Huanping's previous clothes and with the same finger features. There was also a fruit knife at the scene, and the body had knife marks on its ribs.
* After the identification, the body was handed over to Li Zhongxiang, according to the customs of his hometown, the child who died before his birth could only be buried in the wasteland, not near the ancestral grave. Li Zhongxiang asked his friend Guan Weidong to bury the child in a forest, leaving no marks such as grave mounds.
When the body was discovered, Wang Manmei went back to her hometown in Hunan to take care of her daughter, and when she took Li Haiyu back to Zhanjiang in the second half of 1993, Li Zhongxiang and others were worried that she would not be able to accept the news, so they concealed it. As a result, Li Haiyu and her mother were also kept in the dark, and they all thought that Li Huanping was abducted and sold by Yi Mouhua.
Wang Manmei looked for her son everywhere, Li Zhongxiang even believed that the body was not Li Huanping's, he had looked for it in many places, and often borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, becoming extremely depressed, and the children even had a great misunderstanding of him.
Since 1997, Li Haiyu has been looking for news of Li Huanping and Yi Mouhua while working, and has traveled all over Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Zhejiang and other places, changing jobs every two or three months. During this period, she was deceived many times, and even almost trafficked, but she never gave up.
Li Haiyu, who has been chasing the murderer for his dead brother for more than 20 years.
In 2006, Li Haiyu went to Guangzhou to work and run a barber shop. When she met a fellow customer, she inquired about Yi Mouhua's news. Finally in 2012, a customer told her that Yi Mouhua "became a big boss" in other places, and inquired about Yi Mouhua's hometown in a specific village in Xinning County, which turned out to be very close to her hometown.
My sister visited many parties to chase the culprit
After 3 years of online chat, the suspect's information was obtained
Li Haiyu rekindled his hope, returned to Xinning County, and "lurked" around the village where Yi's Hua family was located to investigate.
In November 2014, Li Zhongxiang passed away. Before he died, only Li Haiyu stayed by his side, "I saw his last situation and forgave him." He took out the suicide note from under his pillow, took my hand and said that the prisoner must be found and brought to justice. However, the suicide note only said how Li Huanping disappeared, and still did not mention the discovery of the body.
Li Haiyu often hid in the mountains near Yi Mouhua's house to observe whether Yi Mouhua had returned. "Once I happened to see the door of his house open, so I went to the child of that house and asked his father 'Yi Mouqing' if he came back? He said that there was no such person as 'Yi Mouqing' in his house, and later I saw his wife doing laundry, so I asked her if 'Yi Mouqing' had come back? She also said she didn't know about this person. ”
In 2016, Li Haiyu suddenly saw that there was an extra man in Yi's Hua family. "My dad wrote about his characteristics in his suicide note, and one of his neighbors told me about him, so I tried my luck and said, 'Boss Yi, you're back.'" He asked me who I was, and I said that I had worked under you before, and he said that I had so many workers that I could not remember at once, and then told me to go and sit in his house. I sat down face-to-face with him, used my mobile phone**, and then added his WeChat. ”
Li Haiyu confirmed through a friend that it turned out that "Yi Mouqing" had changed his name to Yi Mouhua.
In order to make Yi Mouhua admit that she is Yi Mouqing, she has been chatting with him on WeChat, and she has been chatting with him for three years. "He often made some excessive demands during online chats, trying to trick me into opening a house, and tricking me into going to work with him. I finally found him, and I can't lose the opportunity. I often watch some criminal investigation books and movies and TV dramas, learn the skills of obtaining information about criminals, and keep working with him to slowly obtain his information. ”
Yi Mouhua obtained by Li Haiyu**.
During this period, Li Haiyu thought about taking the opportunity to kill Yi Mouhua several times. She also has some stray dogs, "trying to lure him to my house and let the dogs bite him to death." ”
But seeing that her mother was old and needed to be taken care of, she didn't want her to lose another daughter, so she didn't choose to fight violence with violence, and finally decided to slowly take the information and hand it over to **.
On March 5, 2019, Li Haiyu asked Yi Mouhua on WeChat, "We all call you 'Yi Mouqing' Boss Yi, why do people call you Yi Mouhua?" He said, 'I am Yi Mouhua, Yi Mouqing is the name of the school student, and the two names are one person. Li Haiyu finally had conclusive information.
The other party admitted that he was Yi Mouhua.
She inquired about the place where Yi Mouhua worked and reported the news to the Leizhou City Public Security Bureau where the crime occurred. On May 22, 2020, Yi Mouhua**.
Zhanjiang **" once published a report entitled "Suspected of killing an 8-year-old boy and absconding for 28 years The suspect was arrested" on June 29, 2020, mentioning that Yi Mouhua was playing cards when he saw the police card presented by the police, and sighed: "I know that the debt has to be repaid, and this kind of day is finally over." After he was caught, he once confessed with red eyes: "I'm sorry for that child, I can't repay him in this life, and I will definitely pay it back in the next life!" ”
It wasn't until Yi Mouhua was arrested that Li Haiyu knew the news of the discovery of the bones and saw the death record of his younger brother.
Over the years, the price she has paid has been extremely high, because she has been looking around for many years, her marriage has broken down twice, and she can only rely on her mother for her life.
The prosecution did not prosecute due to the loss of case files and evidence
The suspect was released
However, Li Haiyu's ordeal is still to come.
Yi Mouhua was detained for half a year, and because of the lack of evidence, the procuratorate made a decision not to prosecute and released him.
Just two days before the Spring Festival in 2021, Li Haiyu received the "Statement of Reasons for Not Prosecution" from the Zhanjiang Municipal People's Procuratorate.
The procuratorate said that in this case, it was determined that the suspect Yi Mouhua killed the victim Li Huanping "The facts are unclear and the evidence is insufficient", and put forward three reasons:
1. The whereabouts of the victim Li Huanping are unknown, and there is insufficient evidence to determine his death. Although the clothes and finger characteristics of the corpse are consistent with Li Huanping, there is a difference in height, after Yi Mouhua**, although an excavation was carried out, Li Huanping's body could not be found, and it was impossible to conduct a bone age identification and DNA identification with his relatives, and the available evidence could not determine that the victim Li Huanping was dead.
2. The cause of death of the body found that year is unknown. An autopsy in 1993 revealed signs of sharp object injuries to his rib bones, but the medical examiner said it was too long to remember the results.
In this case, the on-site investigation records, ** autopsy identification, and the knives extracted from the scene have all been lost, and it is confirmed that the cause of death of the corpse is only verbal evidence, without any documentary evidence, and the body can no longer be found, and the cause of death has not been ascertained.
3. The victim Li Huanping was killed by Yi Mouhua, and only Yi Mouhua's confession was found, and there was no other evidence to corroborate it. Although Yi Mouhua admitted that he had stabbed the victim Li Huanping with a knife during the public security investigation stage and the review for prosecution stage, and the victim Li Huanping's sisters, Li Haiping and Li Ying, stated that they had examined the fingers of the corpse before burying the corpse, after the case was returned to the public security organs for supplementary investigation, it was still impossible to find the relevant materials such as the on-site inquest, autopsy identification, and knives of that year, and the victim's bones could not be found, and DNA identification could not be conducted. It is impossible to confirm whether the body found in the sugarcane field in 1993 was Li Huanping and the cause of death, so Yi Mouhua's confession is isolated evidence and cannot be found guilty.
To sum up, the procuratorate determined that the facts of the murder of the victim Li Huanping by the criminal suspect Yi Mouhua were unclear and the evidence was insufficient, and decided not to prosecute him because of doubts.
At first, Li Haiyu didn't know what documents he received, and thought it was a verdict. She thought that Yi Mouhua's wife and children were also relatively pitiful, so she was moved by compassion, and she held the document in her hand for two or three hours without the courage to tear it open. But when I thought of my brother who died tragically, I tore open the courier with trembling hands, only to see that the result was not to prosecute, and I released him. I stood in front of my house and shouted, 'God is not fair!' God has no eyes! I told my mom about the result, and she was so angry that she fell ill, and we were both hospitalized at the same time, and I stayed for almost 20 days, and my mom stayed for more than a month. ”
She didn't understand that there was evidence that Yi Mouhua had deceived Li Huanping from school, and even if there was no evidence of homicide, he was suspected of child abduction and trafficking. Yi Mouhua admitted the facts of the crime, and once identified the scene of the crime, if the body was not Li Huanping, then he may have been suspected of killing other people, how could he let people go like this?
Li Haiyu learned that Yi Mouhua was very arrogant after his release, "He once said in the town, 'What if I killed the person, the Public Security Bureau didn't release me.'" I was very angry. ”
Li Haiyu has appealed many times, but has been rejected, "I am really in pain, I even have the heart to die several times, but fortunately, thanks to the help of some netizens, I persevered." ”
Supplement new evidence to review the prosecution
She nervously awaited the final result
However, ** and the prosecution did not give up.
A witness told Li Haiyu in 2022 that he dug up the fragments of the jar where Li Huanping's bones were buried on February 20 of that year, "and that day was my brother's birthday." ”
In November 2022, the Guangdong Provincial People's Procuratorate issued a "Notice of Criminal Appeal Result" to Li Haiyu, showing that the court added some new evidence in the process of filing and reviewing, and the court believed that the existing evidence was sufficient to determine the criminal facts of Yi Mouhua's killing of Li Huanping, and Yi Mouhua constituted the crime of intentional homicide, and decided to revoke the previous "Non-Prosecution Decision" and transfer the case to the Zhanjiang Municipal People's Procuratorate to report to the Supreme People's Procuratorate for approval of prosecution in accordance with the law.
On February 7, 2024, the Zhanjiang Municipal People's Procuratorate issued a "Notice of Procedural Rights of Minor Victims of Statutory **" to Li Haiyu, stating that "Li Huanping is the victim of the criminal suspect Yi Mouhua's suspected intentional homicide case, and the case has now been transferred by the Leizhou Municipal Public Security Bureau to our court for review and prosecution." ”
Notice from the Zhanjiang Municipal People's Procuratorate.
Things finally took a turn for the better, but Li Haiyu was even more nervous, "I'm afraid that I'm letting him go again, I can't eat or sleep these days." When I didn't find him before, I still had a glimmer of hope that my brother was still alive. Now that I am sure that my brother has been killed by him, I have arrested him and released him, although I have arrested him again, I am afraid that he will be released again. My heart is very messy, and my life is a mess. I don't want any compensation, I just want him to be sentenced to death. ”
On August 15 last year, Li Haiyu went to Zhanjiang to retrieve a fragment of what appeared to be an altar. Because she has been suffering from insomnia, she can sleep for two or three hours every night holding the shards. When it was all over, she planned to go back to the scene and find a way to get her brother's remains back and "bury him next to his father's grave."
Li Haiyu told netizens on social **: "Don't ask me why I am tortured like this, why I am so persistent, because I am entrusted by my father, because my younger brother is the whole of my life, because I firmly believe that evil does not prevail over the good!" As long as I still have a ** breath, I will definitely continue! I hope that the light of justice, which is belated but never absent, will shine on the earth! ”
