Luo Kaiyou, a native of Sichuan, said in 2020: "As long as I can find her, it will prove that I did not kill anyone and clear my grievances." "This case happened 21 years ago, when the local **, without any evidence, forcibly identified the body found in a large river under the grain station in Dukou Township as Luo Kaiyou's ex-wife Li Peixiang.
Luo Kaiyou was identified as the number one suspect on suspicion of committing a crime, and after some investigation, Luo Kaiyou was forced to confess and was interrogated for 21 months. After being released from prison, he embarked on a long road of "finding a wife and solving the case".
Luo Kaiyou's love entanglement with Li Peixiang stems from the fact that he was born in Leibo County, Sichuan, and is full of admiration for military life and soldiers, and finally met and fell in love with Li Peixiang under the introduction of a matchmaker in the village.
As a substitute teacher in the village, Li Peixiang has a high level of education and a stable job. Therefore, for Luo Kaiyou's pursuit, she has no reason to refuse at all.
Luo Kaiyou has a deep affection for Li Peixiang, and Li Peixiang also likes Luo Kaiyou for ten minutes. After meeting the parents of both parties, they decided to get engaged. Soon after, Luo Kaiyou decided to become a soldier out of patriotism.
For this decision, Li Peixiang expressed full support. However, since Luo Kaiyou entered the army, there has been less and less contact between them, and the lack of communication has led to problems in their relationship.
In 1986, Luo Kaiyou participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam as a soldier. The situation on the battlefield is grim, and the nerves of the fighters are tense. In order to ease the tension of the soldiers, the troops specially approved Luo Kaiyou's family leave.
After returning home to reunite with his fiancée, Li Peixiang firmly said that he would wait until Luo Kaiyou returned victoriously, which gave Luo Kaiyou great encouragement.
Luo Kaiyou is a soldier who returned home with a second-class medal in 1988 when his team was evacuated from the front. However, he suffered a setback in the love field and found that his wife Li Peixiang had changed his mind and had an unclear relationship with other men.
Although Luo Kaiyou found it difficult to accept this, he resolutely did not forgive Li Peixiang's betrayal. Because their marriage has some peculiarities, Luo Kaiyou must return to the army to go through the divorce procedures.
After the two completed the formalities in the army, they only had to return to their hometowns to deal with the remaining formalities. However, Li Peixiang's next move is confusing. Because Luo Kaiyou needed to stay in the army to deal with affairs, Li Peixiang claimed to have held a wedding with Luo Kaiyou after returning to his hometown, and moved into Luo Kaiyou's house without authorization.
After Luo Kaiyou learned about this, he angrily wrote a letter to his family, and everyone realized that Li Peixiang's previous words were all lies.
According to Li Peixiang's family, in January 1989, after Luo Kaiyou returned home from the army, he was rude to Li Peixiang and directly beat him to the hospital. However, Luo Kaiyou insisted that he did not do it.
Although Li Peixiang did be hospitalized, this was not Luo Kaiyou's doing. When Li Peixiang was discharged from the hospital, Luo Kaiyou also went to pick her up, but when he returned home, he found that Li Peixiang's brothers and sisters were waiting for him at home, looking at each other angrily.
On that day, a violent clash broke out between the two sides, and the quarrel was loud enough to drown out the voices of no one. Surprisingly, when everyone was arguing, Li Peixiang took the opportunity to sneak out of the house.
At the critical moment, Luo Kaiyou's eyes were quick, and he quickly rushed forward to control Li Peixiang. However, Li Peixiang's younger siblings also rushed over immediately, successfully helping Li Peixiang get rid of Luo Kaiyou's control, she quickly rushed out of the door and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Since then, Li Peixiang has never returned. The next day, Li Peixiang's mother led people to Luo Kaiyou and strongly demanded an explanation. Luo Kaiyou told the truth, but Li Peixiang's mother still didn't believe it, and a conflict broke out between the two sides.
Although Li Peixiang's mother has called the police, it is difficult to find her trace in the vast Sichuan. Until January 24, 1989, nine days after Li Peixiang's disappearance, salvage personnel found a badly decomposed and hairless female corpse in the Jinsha River under the grain station in Dukou Township.
The local folks were notified to come and identify them.
After the news spread, it caused everyone to watch, and everyone was dumbfounded, unable to determine who it was. "This is the little ring I gave her! A relative of Li Peixiang said excitedly.
At this time, Li Peixiang's mother also arrived at the scene, and she insisted that this was her daughter: "Daughter, why are you so wronged!" Li Peixiang's mother cried bitterly as she spoke, this scene made everyone around sympathize, and everyone began to believe that this female corpse was Li Peixiang.
After learning about the relationship and grievances between Li Peixiang and Luo Kaiyou, ** listed Luo Kaiyou as an important suspect and immediately launched an arrest operation. Luo Kaiyou was in Leibo County at the time, and he was completely stunned.
At the same time, his eldest brother, father, and even neighbors were taken to the police station. Neighbors who were arrested later recalled that several of them were hung from a tree and that several interrogators, armed with whips, subjected them harshly to "confessions."
Although the female corpse was not related to several neighbors, they never admitted to participating in the crime, and as a result, they were held for three days and then released. However, Luo Kaiyou's eldest brother and another neighbor were severely beaten, and finally "confessed" because they couldn't stand it.
But does this mean that Shen Xiuyuan and Luo Kaiqiang are related to the case? Actually, it was not, because when ** later took them to identify the scene, the place they identified was 5 kilometers away from the scene of the crime.
Luo Kaiyou insisted that he was innocent and repeatedly said "I didn't kill anyone", but ** didn't think so, thinking that he was quibbling. Although the female corpse was in tatters, Luo Kaiyou could still identify from ** that it was not his friend Li Peixiang, because the latter had a black mole the size of a pea between his eyebrows.
However, after Luo Kaiyou**, his sister Luo Kaifen was very anxious, she turned to others for help, wrote a thick certificate of innocence and a petition, and found the relevant departments, hoping to save her brother's freedom.
The public security organs had to conduct an autopsy under the pressure of **, and the results found that the corpse was older and had traces of childbirth, which was obviously inconsistent with Li Peixiang. Although there is no evidence to prove that the female corpse is Li Peixiang, and there is no evidence to prove that Luo Kaiyou and others are **, Luo Kaiyou and his family were still detained for 21 months before being released.
Although Luo Kaiyou was forcibly discharged from the army shortly after he was arrested, his charge of "homicide" could not be cleared. During Luo Kaiyou's detention, Li Peixiang's family smashed Luo's belongings, set fire to the house, dug a pit to bury the woman's body, and even broke Luo's mother's leg.
Luo Kaiyou once had a bright life, but now he is in a predicament, and he vows to find his wife Li Peixiang. In the process of searching for his wife, he had the urge to take revenge, and even almost went to the point of no return.
However, in despair and anger, the lawyer's patient persuasion allowed Luo Kaiyou to regain his confidence in life.
While Luo Kaiyou is looking for the whereabouts of his wife Li Peixiang, he is also doing his best to defend himself and prove his innocence. In August 1993, the Leibo County Public Security Bureau, the Liangshan Prefecture Public Security Bureau, and Luo Kaiyou's unit formed a joint investigation team.
The investigation report pointed out that the age of the nameless female body buried in Luo's courtyard was about 40 to 50 years old, which is too far from Li Peixiang's age of 24 when she left, and there is no evidence that Li Peixiang was killed by Luo Kaiyou.
The report also pointed out that the whereabouts of Luo Kaiyou's wife, Li Peixiang, are unknown, and as her husband, Luo Kaiyou bears some responsibility for this. Although the results of the investigation believe that the female corpse is not Li Peixiang, the attitude of the people around him has not changed, and they still insist that Luo Kaiyou is a murderer.
In the face of such doubts, Luo Kaiyou firmly stated that he did not kill Li Peixiang, but Li Peixiang's whereabouts are still an unsolved mystery.
Luo Kaiyou's determination to find Li Peixiang became even stronger. He understood that the first step in finding Li Peixiang was to get the help of the Li family, and Li Peixiang's mother was too old to help, but he still decided to enlist the support of Li Peixiang's father, Li Xingfa.
However, Li Xingfa was wary of Luo Kaiyou and was reluctant to say more, which prevented Luo Kaiyou from obtaining any useful information for a year. During this period, although he met his second wife, he still did not give up his search for Li Peixiang.
After that, he focused on Li Peixiang's sister Li Peixiu, because Li Peixiu married in Yunnan, Li Peixiang may go to her.
Luo Kaiyou was convinced that his wife Li Peixiu must still be alive, so he asked a distant relative to help find him. Although relatives accompanied Li Peixiu twice, they never found any clues.
The process was fraught with setbacks, and Luo Kaiyou's marriage suffered from it. They both have gambling habits, and the financial pressure has doubled, and Luo Kaiyou also spent most of his money on finding a wife, so the two often quarreled over this.
However, Luo Kaiyou never gave up, and finally in 2020, things took a turn for the better.
Luo Kaiyou and Yao Liangjun became acquainted, Yao Liangjun had heard the story of Luo Kaiyou's search for his wife, was moved by his persistence, and was determined to lend a hand. In August 2010, Yao Liangjun took Luo Zhonghua to Lei Bo, and Luo Zhonghua was a former trafficker who had just been released from prison, so Luo Kaiyou once suspected that Li Peixiang was abducted by Luo Zhonghua.
Yao Liangjun and Luo Zhonghua skillfully planned a scene and successfully lured Li Peixiang's father, Li Xingfa, into taking the bait. It turned out that although Li Xingfa had his mouth closed, he was very superstitious and believed in the words of the fortune teller.
In November, Luo Zhonghua skillfully disguised himself as a businessman and visited the Li family with various gifts. Li Xingfa couldn't recognize Luo Zhonghua's true identity at a glance, and the two talked happily.
In the end, Luo Zhonghua successfully lured Li Xingfa to Leibo County. In mid-November, they met on the Huixi Bridge in Huixi Town, Yunnan Province, and happened to meet a fortune teller.
Li Xingfa was very excited about the fortune teller's words, saying that he would meet nobles when he went out. However, in fact, this fortune teller was arranged by Luo Zhonghua, and he just said "go out and meet a nobleman" to deceive Li Xingfa's trust.
Come, I'll show you a big guy! Luo Zhonghua took Li Xingfa to Yao Liangjun's hometown. "I know a lot of **, when the Luo family did something wrong to your daughter Li Peixiang, you can try to fight for 700,000 spiritual compensation. ”
Yao Liangjun disguised himself as a civil servant and said firmly. Then, he also handed over a bank card to Li Xingfa: "There is 1 million in this card, you have to keep it well." ”
In fact, Kari didn't have any money, they just wanted to deceive Li Xingfa and ask him to take them to see Li Peixiang.
Li Xingfa was convinced of Yao Liangjun's true identity, and told him frankly to reveal the truth of the matter. It turned out that Li Peixiang did not die, and she kept in touch with her family in Tianjin.
Li Xingfa even provided her ** number and address. Luo Kaiyou took this important clue to Tianjin, and with the assistance of Tianjin **, he finally locked on the target of a woman named "Li Fang" in Xichangtun Village, Jinghai County, Tianjin.
With the unremitting efforts of **, it was finally confirmed that Li Fang was Li Peixiang, but this result raised some questions - there was no black mole between Li Fang's eyebrows. In the face of interrogation, Li Peixiang has always behaved calmly, but as long as she talks about Luo Kaiyou, her emotions will become very excited.
I was afraid of getting in trouble, so I had surgery to remove the mole. She explained. Li Peixiang also said that she had not paid attention to Luo Kaiyou's news since she left, and she didn't even know what he had been wronged back then.
Fortunately, after more than 20 years of hard work, Luo Kaiyou finally found the "missing wife", and this long-awaited result made his heart finally let go.
I didn't kill anyone, I'm innocent! Luo Kaiyou was so excited that he burst into tears.
After 21 years of waiting, Luo Kaiyou finally received an apology from the Leibo County Public Security Bureau at the end of 2010, and also received 160,000 yuan in state compensation. The emergence of this unjust case makes everyone deeply aware that unjust, false and wrongful cases can have a devastating impact on a person's life, and gossip can invisibly "kill" a person.
However, justice will never be absent, and the innocent will eventually usher in the light. Let us learn from this and protect everyone's basic rights.
