If I tell you now that this real case almost scared the medical examiner to death, would you dare to continue looking down? On a thunderstorm night, the painter and his wife both died at home. The woman had 42 stab wounds and the man had 16 stab wounds, a full 58 stab wounds, and the knife was fatal.
Do you know what it means to be listed as a suspect in the top 10 provincial capitals? Do you know why you put red candles on the table when committing a crime? This case has all the elements of a suspense movie: horror, weirdness, bizarreness, reversal.
Suspects recur and are constantly eliminated. When ** rushed to the real murderer's house after all the hardships, the real murderer actually died inexplicably the night before! Will this be another unsolvable bloody case? I will lead you to uncover the truth of this case step by step. Ready to enter this foggy world?
On 4 March 2000, the Gulangyu Police Station in Xiamen received an urgent report. An uncle said there was an accident at his neighbor's house. After the police arrived at the scene, they found that the situation was serious and immediately reported it to their superiors. Detectives from the Xiamen Municipal Bureau then rushed to the scene. From afar, you can smell the smell of blood in the air. As soon as he entered the scene, even the forensic doctor couldn't help but tremble in his calves. The deceased were a man and a woman. The man lies on his knees at the end of the bed, while the woman lies prone on the edge of the bed. Their hands, necks, mouths, and feet were all wrapped in duct tape, and they were supposed to have lost the ability to resist when they were killed. The man had 16 stab wounds and the woman had 42 stab wounds. The wounds are all in 2About 3 centimeters, the murder weapon should be a double-sharp weapon.
What is puzzling is that since the victim has lost the ability to resist and can be killed with a single knife, why should he stab dozens of times? What's even more unbelievable is that the victim was covered in the quilt before he began to stab indiscriminately. What is the special significance of this? It is a two-bedroom house with a bedroom, living room and workshop from north to south.
There are a large number of semi-finished oil paintings stacked in the workshop, and the on-site furnishings are messy and have obvious traces of turning. Seems to be looking for something. The spookiest thing was a suitcase at the scene. There are traces of destruction caused by a large number of chopping thorns on the surface of the box, but there is nothing in the box, and it is impossible to tell what it was contained.
Moreover, there are no traces of prying and technical unlocking of the doors and windows at the scene, and there are no traces left by climbing. So, ** must have been peaceful. It is possible that they knew the victim, but it is not excluded that the victim was coaxed to open the door under other pretexts. Not a single fingerprint was taken from the entire crime scene, indicating that ** was wearing gloves to commit the crime. It can be seen that ** has been planned for a long time and came prepared.
Let us now turn our attention to the victims. The male victim's name is Lu Cheng, a native of Jiangsu, who came to Gulangyu a few years ago to teach and sell paintings for a living, and is a well-known local painter. The female victim's name is Feng Yan and she is Lu Cheng's girlfriend. So, why did the couple painter get killed?
The first thing that made the scouts suspicious was the strong smell of loose oil as soon as they entered the door. Loose knot oil is a widely used industrial raw material and an important addition to diluting oil paint in oil paintings. Because the victim was a painter, it is not surprising that there was loose oil at the scene of the crime. However, the scout felt that the smell of the scene was very strange, and he couldn't say it for a while.
At the same time, several cigarette butts and several Want Want snow cake packaging bags were also found at the scene. The weirdest thing is the two red candles on the ground. In ancient times, red candles were lit only in caves. The scout was puzzled, why did he light a red candle when committing the crime? What is the implication of this?
The site was littered with a large number of disorganized footprints, two of which were particularly clear. Judging from the footprints, ** is at least more than two people. What is even more unexpected for the scouts is that it is one of the footprints that will later become strong evidence to lock down the real murderer. Subsequently, the task force carried out a large-scale investigation of suspicious persons.
Determining the time of the crime has become the most important task at present. When the medical examiner arrived at the scene, he found that the mortis had gradually subsided, and it was inferred that the victim had been killed for about 40 hours.
During subsequent visits, the residents downstairs provided an important piece of information: they had heard extremely noisy speech coming from upstairs. Because of the rain, he didn't hear what was being said clearly. Because the two of them usually quarrel, the neighbors around them have long been surprised.
Therefore, the scouts speculated that the time of the crime was some time after 9 p.m. on March 2. The time for committing the crime has finally been finalized, so what is the motive for **? Actually, it's not hard to judge. Combined with the analysis of the actual situation at the scene, the suitcase was cut, and the victim's ID card and passbook were gone, which should be a homicide case based on burglary.
However, this contradicts the extent of the victim's injuries. Moreover, the female victim has significantly more wounds than the male victim, which makes people feel as if they are coming at the female victim, full of anger. Loose oil, red candles, strange killing postures, is it a vendetta killing? **Deliberately faked as a robbery scene in the course of the crime?
Now it can only be speculation and assumptions. The foggy crime scene and the unbelievable motive for the crime cast a strange veil over the case. According to Feng Yan's friends, the relationship between Feng Yan and Teacher Lu is quite stable, and there is no third party. During the visit, I didn't hear of any enemies among them. Just as the case was about to reach an impasse, a breakthrough clue surfaced.
It is understood that this female classmate's name is Zhu Dandan, and she once learned to draw with Teacher Lu with her boyfriend Ye Dehuang. Ye Dehuang was driven away because he had not been able to meet Mr. Lu's requirements.
Ye Dehuang asked Lu Cheng to refund the tuition fee, but Lu Cheng refused. The two also had a fierce quarrel over this, and Feng Yan also said that Zhu Dandan was a waste. Soon, Zhu Dandan also left because he couldn't bear Feng Yan's humiliation, and when he left, he also had a big quarrel, and threatened to remove Lu Cheng's hand.
The task force immediately began to investigate. Zhu Dandan is currently working in a *** family, and her current boyfriend Wang Chenghai is also a Han bandit currently under investigation. Wang Chenghai is the leader of the gangsters in society, and I heard that he is more fierce.
Zhu Dandan had a holiday with the victim, and Wang Chenghai had the ability to commit crimes with multiple people, and multiple clues pointed directly at Zhu Dandan at the same time. An imminent arrest is imminent.
After full deployment, several thugs were wiped out. Zhu Dandan admitted that there were deep contradictions between her and the victim, and Wang Chenghai also confessed that a plan to attack the victim was in the pipeline. However, as the interrogation work continued to deepen, the hearts of the members of the task force were cold. After repeated verification, Zhu Dandan and Wang Chenghai did not have the time to commit the crime. Zhu Dandan's punch-in records and colleagues can prove that she has been working on the night of March 2, and she has earned thousands of yuan from several stations. And Wang Chenghai was not in the rain on the day of the incident.
Although Zhu and Wang were temporarily ruled out of suspicion, Zhu Dandan's ex-boyfriend Ye Dehuang once again entered the sight of **. Because he also had a conflict with the victim. So, what exactly is Emperor Ye De in now? Zhu Dandan said that she and Ye Dehuang had already broken up, and Ye Dehuang had already left Xiamen. But Zhu Dandan provided another important piece of information: she and Ye Dehuang had a classmate named Ling Qinggeng. A few months ago, she had an illness, and Ling Qinggeng had come to see her once on behalf of Emperor Ye.
Ling Qinggeng said that they were doing business in Fuzhou now, and also said that Lu Cheng was too unruly, and he would have to clean him up sooner or later. He went on to say that he could tie up Lu Cheng, force him to reveal the passbook password, and then detonate the gas canister to create a fire scene. Although Zhu Dandan said that this was just a chat-style joke, and it was up to him to take revenge, the speaker had no intention of listening. The scout's mind gradually conjured up the hitherto unexplained phenomena at the scene: loose oil, red candles, and the detonating gas canister mentioned by Ling Qinggeng.
The scout suddenly had a flash of inspiration, could any of this be related? Could it be that ** wants to create a fire scene after committing the crime? After repeated analysis and judgment by the task force, I feel that this is a very important clue. The investigation of Ye Ling and the others was also officially launched.
According to Ye Dehuang's father, Ye Dehuang is currently with his cousin in Fuzhou. The task force immediately rushed to Fuzhou, but when they rushed to Fuzhou, they were in vain. The cousin said that Ye Ling and the others had already left Fuzhou, and he did not know the whereabouts of the two now.
In many cases, clues are not automatically sent to the door, but have to be found by one's own heart. The scout was discerning and found a pile of business cards on Ye Dehuang's desk. Having a business card proves that he knows these people. The scouts visited one by one, and one of the water delivery workers said that Ye Dehuang had contacted him, and this ** came from a public ** near the Fuzhou railway station.
The scouts immediately took Ye Ling's ** and the others to visit the vicinity. According to one landlord, six or seven guys used to rent his house, but now they have all moved out. The landlord identified that it was Ye Dehuang and others. There were also a lot of needles and tin foil left in the room, and it was clear that the group had not done a good job. The task force immediately requested the local ** to cooperate with the work. According to a police officer, he had come here in early March to check his temporary residence permit, and one of the young men had a wound on his face, and another young man had gauze tied to his hands.
The police asked, and the guy replied that he fell on a bicycle. If there is an injury, could it be that it was left by a fight with the victim during the crime? But what the police said next made the scout's heart cool by half.
The police said that the time to check the temporary residence permit was on the evening of March 2, and he remembered very clearly, because several young men did not have temporary residence permits, and he was fined 50 yuan. March 2 was a very important time, and the incident took place at 9 p.m. on March 2. In other words, the injuries of Ye Ling and others were there before the crime. Secondly, the distance from Fuzhou to Xiamen is 250 kilometers. According to the traffic conditions of the year, even if the group set off immediately after the police left, it would take more than three hours to reach Xiamen, whether by car or taxi. Then take the ferry to Gulangli, and walk for another 20 minutes to reach the scene of the crime. Even after the police left, the gang would not arrive at the scene of the crime until after 11 p.m. Therefore, these people simply do not have the time to commit crimes. After going around and around, it was empty, and the suspect who finally appeared was finally eliminated. All valuable leads are also broken. If no new clues emerge, the case will surely become an unsolved case. The scout thought about it, what to do? Could it be that the police have misremembered the date of March 2? Isn't there time on the fine record of the police?
The scout decided to check again with the police. Sure enough, the police mistakenly remembered that the time on the fine slip was March 3. March 3rd and March 2nd are completely different concepts. If it was March 3, then Ye Ling and the others would have time to commit the crime. It's really a turn of peaks and turns, another village. Luck can't stop it. Good news spread frequently, and the scouts who investigated the scene came with another piece of good news. On the side of the door of Ye Ling and the others' rental room, a very blurry, almost invisible to the naked eye, less than a centimeter of shoe prints was found. The scouts were thrilled. English letters can be faintly seen on this half of the shoe prints, which are very consistent with the shoe prints collected at the scene of the crime. When the detectives lifted the bed board, they found that there was a very clear shoe print on the dusty ground, which was also very consistent with another shoe print left at the crime scene.
The next step is the scientific and rigorous comparison work. Both the length and the texture pattern are very consistent. It can be said that the probability of error is very small. With the cooperation of the local **, all the people who had lived in a rental house together were found. Their suspicions were also ruled out one by one.
However, they also reported that on the afternoon of March 2, Ye Dehuang, Ling Qinggeng, and Zhan Qingyun went to Xiamen together. When they came back, Ye Ling and the others were both injured. And when the police checked the temporary residence permit, the three of them said that they wanted to go home to do something urgent. After investigation, Ye Lingzhan and the three were all from Zhouning County, Fujian, and the three of them were from the same village. Therefore, Ye Lingzhan and the three are suspected of committing major crimes. The task force immediately went to the hometown of the three to arrest them. After more than two months of hard investigation, the net is finally about to be closed.
But accidents are always everywhere. The three did come back, but now they're all gone. Also missing was Ling Qinggeng's father. The simultaneous escape of the three of them has attracted great attention from the provincial department. The three Ye Lingzhan were listed as important suspects in the top ten provincial supervisions.
After more than ten days of arduous visits, ** finally got a clue about the suspect: Emperor Ye Dehuang is hiding in the mountains at the moment. The scouts then set out and made the arrest overnight. Unexpectedly, it was a step too late, and there were only a few torn clothes left in the mountain hut, and I didn't even see a single figure. No one could have imagined what a long and tortuous process this miss with the suspect would go through. Since then, the task force has gone to arrest every time it hears the news, covering Guangdong, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Guizhou, and other places, traveling tens of thousands of kilometers. However, the three suspects disappeared as if they had evaporated from the world. It wasn't until 2002, two years after the incident, that Zhouning County suddenly called**: the suspect Zhan Qingyun died at home! How could it suddenly appear and suddenly die?
The task force immediately rushed to Zhouning. According to Zhan's father, Zhan Qingyun came back suddenly in the middle of the night before. Sister Zhan reflected that Zhan Qingyun told her some information after she came back. He said that he killed someone outside, and he had a bad life outside in the past two years. That day, Zhan Qingyun talked a lot with her sister. After that, Zhan Qingyun went back to his room to sleep. The next day, Zhan Qingyun committed suicide in his room. Although Zhan Qingyun said that he had killed someone, what was their motive for committing the crime? And Ye Ling and the others are now **? Could it be that he is also dead? The whole case is still like a kite with a broken string, floating uncertainly.
The years have passed, and another year has passed.
The task force heard that Ye Dehuang's father was registering his newborn. This immediately alarmed the scouts. Because Ye Dehuang is the only son in the family, his father is over 60 years old, and it is impossible to have any more children. So, is this newborn from **? After investigation, the newborn was the child of Emperor Ye Dehuang. ** Immediately open an investigation into his father and others. According to the investigation and clues provided by insiders, it was determined that the suspect Ye Dehuang is currently hiding in Ningde, Fujian.
The arrest process did not have the thrilling scene as imagined, and everything seemed to go exceptionally smoothly. Ye Dehuang confessed to the fact that he had committed the crime with Ling Zhan.
On the night of the crime, they came to Lu Cheng's house and tricked the victim into opening the door on the pretext of borrowing money. After snatching 3,000 yuan in cash, he killed him. Because it was the first time to commit a crime, I was nervous and scared. After taking the victim ***, they covered them with quilts and then stabbed them with daggers. After committing the crime, they poured loose oil on the ground and lit candles. When the candle reaches the ground, it ignites the pine oil to destroy the scene. Perhaps there was a providence in the dark, and both candles were finally extinguished.
Although the facts of the case had been cleared and Emperor Ye was also sentenced to death, the scouts did not feel relaxed. Because Ling Qinggeng still has not been brought to justice. Over the years, Ling Qinggeng's appearance has been deeply reflected in the scout's mind, and sometimes he is even dreamed of.
Eleven years have passed, and Ling Qinggeng has become a knot that the scouts can't untie. In the past 11 years, the task force has gone to Ling Qinggeng's hometown eleven times, staying for a few days at least and a month at most, and each time it has been in vain.
In 2011, the Ministry of Public Security launched a seven-month campaign to clear the net. The task force was set up again, ready to go, and went to Zhejiang, Shanghai, and other places to carry out all-round covert reconnaissance of Ling Qinggeng's family. Soon, good news came from Zhejiang: Ling Qinggeng's younger brother had revealed to others that his brother and father in Guangdong had borrowed money from him to buy processing equipment. No wonder Ling Qinggeng's father also disappeared with him, it turned out that he ran away with his son!
The task force immediately set off for Dongguan. But as soon as I entered the building materials city, I was confused: there are so many shops, which one is it? In the case that the suspect could not be determined, the special case team did not dare to act rashly and recklessly, and visited in an open and honest manner, and if the news leaked out, it would have to wait for another 11 years. The task force focused on the stone and glass workshop, and then sent two scouts dressed as salesmen with one goal: to meet the boss himself. Success or not, there is only one chance. Because eleven years have passed, his appearance has changed, and the scouts still can't determine which one is Ling Qinggeng.
Each policeman carefully recalled the detailed characteristics of each person, and asked repeatedly: "What are the characteristics?" At this time, someone suddenly remembered: there was a father and son in a store, and the son had a heavy scar on the corner of his left foot and mouth.
According to Emperor Ye Dehuang's previous confession, Ling Qinggeng suffered a facial injury when he committed the crime, leaving a scar.
The task force immediately made a decision to arrest him. When the arresting officers saw his appearance, they were sure that he was such a person who had been chasing him for eleven years. When the arresting officer patted him on the shoulder with his left hand, shook his hand with his right hand, and said: "Xiao Ling, it's been eleven years, you have been hiding for eleven years." ”
This Ling was stunned for a moment after hearing a few words. The next reaction was laughter, and it could be seen that this fleeting wry smile. Then he repeated: "Sooner or later, you will catch me." "The dust has finally settled on the arrest that spanned eleven years. It is also light and breezy, without a trace of waves. Ling Qinggeng did not struggle and resist at all.
His last request was just to see the child again. Ling Qinggeng said: "When I was running, I broke down several times. At that time, I thought, I have a knife on my neck, and I want to pull it down. But I still don't have the courage. ”
Ling Qinggeng confessed that after committing the crime, he was like a lost dog, and he couldn't live in fear. Later, he hid in the mountains with his father. Because his father was a lumberjack, he followed his father to cut wood in the mountains for four years. For four years, he had nightmares almost every day. "If I have been running for more than ten years, I feel very tired. That is to say, I feel very tired in my heart, and I am still more worried and afraid in my heart. Because I feel like I can't sleep well anyway, I feel that the psychological pressure is relatively high all day long. In 2004, Ling Qinggeng went to Guangdong to work incognito. Later, he opened his own processing shop. If it weren't for the crimes committed recklessly when he was young, he would have been able to live well with his own hands now.
Therefore, we must know the law, understand the law, and abide by the law. When people live, fame and fortune are all things outside the body, and the only thing that truly belongs to them is health and freedom.
