name is Lan kuu 36 years old he is the owner of a factory and a very diligent person at work normally he would be busy all day but on April 27th even though it was late the factory staff still did not see kuin you come the factory had some work that needed him to decide but because they could not contact him they had to go to his father to ask if he knew where he was at first first Mr Lon simply thought that maybe his son went to negotiate a job or attend a party so
it was normal that he could not contact him for a while but after calling many times without his son answering in the evening he hurriedly contacted his son's girlfriend Wang jinguan to see if she knew where he was jinguan was also very surprised when she heard she said that she had not seen kenu since the evening of the 26th still thinking that he might be busy and staying at the factory hearing this the whole family anxiously searched everywhere for Kuan Yu's whereabouts but until noon the next day there was still no news only then did
Mr Lan realize that something might have happened to his son so he hurriedly called the police station to report the case after receiving the report the police immediately went to Kuan Yu's Factory to investigate through the investigation of the factory staff the police know that on the 26th the boss was busy at the factory until dawn the next day before driving away the police thought that it was after work he might have gone home so they decided to check the surveillance cameras at Kuan Yu's residence as a result they actually saw his image the camera
showed that at around 3:00 a.m. on April 27th kuu drove into the underground parking lot at that time he was wearing a blue and white striped shirt and had a bag on his shoulder the next video was recorded from the elevator camera in the video Ken you can be seen yawning and then calmly pressing the button for the ninth floor where he lives with his girlfriend the elevator door opened he walked out and that was the last image of him recorded by the camera after that moment no other camera in the building could see his
image after determining that kuin you had exited the elevator on the ninth floor the police quickly arrived at the apartment where he lived with his girlfriend they searched everywhere but found no trace of him in an effort to find out the reason the police talked to Jin kuen Yu's girlfriend to see if there had been any recent conflicts between the two that caused him to leave leave when asked jinguan appeared to be in great pain tears fell as she confided to the police that kuin Yu was the person she loved the most and that she
had not been able to eat or sleep in the past few days only tossing and turning worrying about her Lover's safety when the police asked about the day kuin you went missing and whether he had shown any unusual behavior jingwen said that he had only said that he was going to meet a client at the hotel that night at first she did not think much of it guessing that he had probably drunk too much and stayed overnight before going straight to the factory it was only when she received a call from his father that she
was shocked to realize that no one had been able to contact kuin Yu jingwen also revealed that kuyu had bipolar disorder and she was afraid that he might have done something stupid because he could not handle the pressure of work with this information the police went down to the underground parking lot to search Kuan Yu's car and investigate the surrounding area throughout this process jingen followed closely she was so tired that she fell asleep on a nearby motorbike while the police were working judging by her exhausted appearance it could be seen that she had not
had a full night's sleep in the past few days although the police repeatedly advised her to go home and rest jingwen insisted on staying she said she needed to know all the news about kuanyu as soon as possible after hours of meticulous searching the police still did not find any significant Clues kyu's car was still sitting in the parking lot not moving at all since the building building had many elevators with different exits the police checked the cameras of all the elevators thinking that kin you might have used another elevator to go down but after
reviewing all the footage from the past few days they did not see any image of him leaving the building this incident left the investigators extremely bewildered how could someone disappear Without a Trace knowing that kinu was a businessman the police began to expand their investigation to his business and social relationships the results showed that the company k you founded 2 years ago was developing very well without any disputes or financial difficulties emotionally he and his girlfriend jinguan had lived together for many years jinguan was 11 years older than him they had a sisterly relationship and
their feelings had always been good when the investigation into the relationship did not yield any results the police decided to go back and carefully examine all the surveillance cameras in the building this time an unusual video caught their attention at around 5 p.m. 2 days after KU you went missing the elevator camera captured the image of a suspicious figure it was a person wearing a red shirt and a helmet and from the way he moved and looked the police determined that it was most likely a woman it is worth noting that this person was dressed
unusually her entire body was carefully covered with a thick coat regardless of the weather while the people around her were wearing short sleeved shirts to keep cool this person's outfit became even more prominent and suspicious what was more more special was that this mysterious woman continuously used the elevator for 4 to 5 hours and each time she appeared she carried many bags of different sizes through monitoring the surveillance camera the police recorded that this mysterious woman used the elevator five times transporting a total of 11 bags of goods however because this person covered her entire
body carefully they could not determine her identity during the investigation of this period of time another detail attracted the attention of the police in addition to the mysterious Woman in Red they also discovered another person who frequently moved many bags of goods using the elevator this person appeared openly without any concealment and the bags They Carried seemed lighter it was jinguan what was remarkable was that the police noticed a suspicious coincidence jingen and The Woman in Red were almost identical in height and build this discovery raised a question for the investigators could the mysterious Woman
in Red be jinguan in Disguise if they were the same person why did jingen constantly change her outfit sometimes secretly disguised sometimes appearing in public if they were not the same person then who was the mysterious Woman in Red because previous investigations failed to uncover any other suspects or Clues jinguan suddenly became the focus of police attention through investigating her background the police knowed that jingen is 47 years old this year her birth name is hang mha born in fuen her life life has experienced many ups and downs when she was young she got married
in China and had two children a boy and a girl with her first husband her first marriage ended in pain when she discovered her husband was having an affair and decided to divorce in 1996 fate brought her to know a Taiwanese Man 9 years older than her through a marriage brokerage company the following year at the age of 30 she got married for the second time and moved to Taiwan to live but it seemed that happiness had not yet smiled on her her second marriage also did not bring the joy she expected her husband did
not have a stable job forcing her to struggle to take care of her life they lived together for nearly 10 years in April 2006 jingwen finally received her residence card in Taiwan in July she asked for a divorce her second husband begged her but jingen was so determined that he finally agreed to the divorce with her skillful acupressure massage technique jinguan quickly found a job at a spa thanks to her outstanding skills she soon became the best technician in the shop in addition to her professional skills jinguan also had a business mind after many years
of accumulating Capital she boldly opened her own Spa in Tai Chong inheriting the massage Secrets passed down from her family combined with her skillful communication skills her shop grew more and more prosperous her success in business helped her not only become financially independent but also have the conditions to invest in rental real estate it was during this period of development that she met kuen Yu a young man 11 years younger than her despite the age Gap jinguan was still very young and beautiful thanks to her ability to take care of herself from kuen Yu's frequent
visits to the spa they gradually developed feelings for each other and decided to live together jingwen had high hopes for this relationship she often bragged to her friends about her young and handsome boyfriend in order to integrate into KU Yu's family she and her boyfriend went to an to visit his parents every week so in the end did KU Yu's disappearance have anything to do with jinguan when the mysterious Woman in Red was spotted in the surveillance video the police tried to trace her whereabouts through the area's security camera system however due to the limited
number of cameras on the street they could only track half of the journey before giving up the last image they recorded was of the woman riding away on a motorbike carrying two large bags of things not giving up the investigators decided Ed to watch the elevator camera footage over and over again carefully analyzing every little detail their patience was rewarded when they caught an important clue in one frame at the moment The Woman in Red reached out to press the elevator button two of her fingers were clearly bandaged this detail immediately caught their attention because
it coincided with jinguan injuries to those same fingers looking at the large and small packages in the camera plus the injuries on jinguan hands the police had a bad feeling could it be that jingwen had killed her boyfriend dismembered him and disguised him to get rid of the evidence with these suspicions the police went to jingwen and asked her if on the second day after her boyfriend went missing she had carried many bags of things into the elevator what surprise the police was that jingwen did not deny it but frankly admitted it she said that
she had indeed taken her luggage by elevator because she was preparing to sell her house at the time so she used a trash bag to pack her clothes and brought them to the store intending to stay there for a while she also said that if she didn't believe it she could go with her to the store to check the police were half believing and half doubting they followed her to the massage parlor and indeed found the bags that appeared on the camera and they did indeed have clothes inside however the police still felt that something
was wrong according to statistics a total of 11 bags appeared on the camera but only five to six bags were found at jinguan massage parlor when the police asked jinguan about this she seemed upset she said that some of the bags had been opened and the items inside had been taken she also angrily told the police not to slander her indiscriminately however the strange thing was that through her gestures and actions the police could not sense any real sadness and anxiety the police still believed in their intuition thinking that jingwen must have something to do
with her boyfriend's disappearance at this time the police changed their tactics and started to comfort her with conversation the police followed jinan's story and talked about her feelings for her boyfriend jinguan said that she really loved her boyfriend and even borrowed 10 million New Taiwan dollars about $330,000 us to help him do business then they turned to talking about having children at this moment the police suddenly changed Direction and asked you love him so much is it possible that love at its peak will turn into hatred Jean Gwen who had just lowered her guard was
shaken by this unexpected question seizing the opportunity the police continued thoughtfully people can't disappear for no reason every step they take leaves traces sooner or later the truth will be revealed for the first time jingwen fell into a state of prolonged silence in the tense atmosphere the policeman gently asked do you think he's still alive after a moment of silence jinguan replied in an icy voice probably Dead with just that short sentence the solid defense wall that jinguan had built up all this time completely collapsed CED and then she confessed all her crimes as mentioned
before after divorcing her second husband jingwen opened a massage parlor in Tai Chong she and kuen you met at this massage parlor at first their relationship was very good jingwen took great care of her boyfriend when they first met kuu was not the boss but only a senior technician although the income was quite high it was still very different from jinan's massage business after that jinguan encouraged her boyfriend to start a business as a boss in order to have the capital to start a business she specially went to fuen to borrow money from her father
investing $1 million New Taiwan dollars about $33,000 usar for her boyfriend she also used her name as a guarant borrowing $10 million New Taiwan dollars from the bank at that time kuu promised her that he would pay her $200,000 New Taiwan dollars about $6,600 us dollarars in interest every year but after the factory made a profit he did not keep his promise and always found excuses to avoid it however jingen did not pay much attention at first thinking that they would get married sooner or later anyway everyone's money was the same however after 6 years
of being together jinguan discovered that her boyfriend had no intention of marrying her as time passed jinan's age began to show making them look more and more incompatible in addition after becoming a boss kuu only focused on his career career and did not care about marriage the most important thing was that jinan's children from her first marriage in China now had children which meant she was a grandmother this made it very difficult for kuin Yu's family to accept her kuin Yu told her that the family could not marry her for the time being and asked
her to wait but then 2 years before the incident jingwen found out that she was pregnant she was extremely happy thinking that this time they could finally get married properly but when kuu heard the news Not only was he unhappy he also asked jingwen to have an abortion this made jingwen realize that her boyfriend had absolutely no intention of marrying her but only wanted to take her body and money thinking about this she felt very angry around March and April 2014 the two of them quarreled more often kuin you couldn't stand jinan's constant urging on
him to get married so he used her job as an excuse saying that he absolutely could not marry a woman who worked as a massuse jinan's dream of marriage was shattered once again she felt that she had sacrificed everything for her boyfriend taken care of him for years been his lover his garer and lent him money for business but in the end she had received nothing in frustration and anger she made a terrible decision on the evening of April 26th 2014 jinguan waited for kuu to get off work as usual it was around 3:00 a.m.
the next morning when he returned home exhausted in order to catch him off guard jinguan asked him if he wanted something to drink then made him a cup of tea secretly putting in 10 sleeping pills after drinking it due to fatigue and the effects of the medicine kuu quickly fell asleep at this time jinguan took a knife from the kitchen knelt by the bed and in a moment of Madness swung the knife at her boyfriend's neck in order to avoid the blood from staining the bed sheets and leaving traces she had already spread a plastic
sheet on the bed thus kuu was murdered while she was completely unprepared after that jingwen dragged her boyfriend's body into the bathroom in order to avoid leaving traces she placed his upper body in a large plastic Basin that she had prepared to let the blood drain out because jinan's father was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner she had a certain understanding of the structure of the human body since she was young in addition because she worked as a massage therapist she was very familiar with the joints of the human body she quickly finished dismembering the body
during this process because her hands were tired she had to switch between cutting hands and as a result she accidentally cut her finger after finishing jinguan wrapped the body parts in clothes and put them in black garbage bags then she transported them down to the parking lot bit by bit in order to avoid arousing suspicion she disguised herself in many different ways when transporting the bags down she knew for sure that the camera would record them so to mislead the investigation she did not bring the body every time she went down there were a few
few times when the bags were just clothes she even intentionally left a few bags at the massage parlor to make it look like she was moving house after transporting the body to the parking lot she drove her motorbike to transfer the bags one by one to a car that was parked in a hidden spot from the camera then she drove the body parts up a nearby Mountain to dispose of them to completely destroy the evidence she poured gasoline on the body and the Bloody clothes and bedding and burn them then quickly left the scene after
finishing everything everything in a state of panic and the fact that she had just knowed to drive she crashed into an electric pole on the side of the road that night she did not dare to go home but stayed at a hotel and hid the murder weapon used to dismember the body in a corner of the room the next day jinguan felt uneasy and returned to the scene to check the situation the result was that most of the body was still there therefore she dug a shallow hole nearby buried the remaining parts of the body
and covered it with weeds and branches after finished her statement jinguan led the police to the scene where the body was dumped following her instructions the police found the burial site covered with branches when they dug it up they really found the remaining parts of kuin Yu's body in addition the police also went to the hotel where she stayed that night and found the murder weapon at first the police thought jinan's motive for the crime was very clear it was a murder for love but through further investigation they discovered that the emotional issue was only
part of it the other motive was a financial dispute the police discovered that the house they were living in had a deposit paid by jingwen and the monthly installments were paid by kuu when jingwen realized that her boyfriend had no intention of getting married she planned to sell the house and leave Taiwan but her boyfriend said that since he had also contributed money he wanted to split the money from the sale of the house jingwen felt extremely angry and disappointed when her boyfriend who had been with her for so many years not only did not
want to marry her her but also wanted to split the money from the sale of the house in order to prevent the money from being divided and also to get revenge she plan this murder it could be seen that she had been planning this for a long time before taking action she still cared about KU Yu's parents as usual not showing any unusual signs the police also discovered that jinguan driver's license had only been issued not long before the incident and no one around her knew about it the police believed that she had secretly knowed
to drive in preparation for disposing of the evidence in addition 2 months before the incident she had used insomnia as an excuse to get sleeping pills from the hospital the day before the crime she bought a knife a large plastic Basin a plastic sheet and two 10 L gasoline cans she also rented a car the day before and deliberately parked it in a place where the cameras could not see it preparing for the next day's plan it is noteworthy that before committing the crime jinguan was worried that if she killed someone and then sold the
house once the incident was discovered the house would become a haunted house and could not be sold therefore she decided to sell the house first in fact since March 21st that is before the incident occurred she had already agreed on a price with the buyer and completed the name change procedure on April 14th however she planned to hand over the house after completing the plan at the end of the month as a result this case caused the house to become a haunted house after being transferred for a few days because the evidence of the case
was very complete everyone initially thought it would end quickly but unexpectedly during the trial jinguan suddenly changed her testimony she claimed that it was self-defense that night because kuu had used a knife to slash her first so she fought back and she only slashed once however according to the prosecution's evidence kuu had taken sleeping pills when she was murdered later jingwen changed her testimony saying that she acted rashly and had no per meditated murder plan however a lot of evidence such as buying the car in advance buying the knife and the plastic sheet all Prov
that she had been well prepared finally she even claimed that she was mentally disordered possessed by a ghost and had no control over her actions when she committed the crime however the psychiatric examination results showed that she was completely normal because jinguan attitude in court was very arrogant and showed no intention of repenting she was initially facing the death penalty however before the sentencing her attitude suddenly changed she began copying scriptures in prison and wrote five letters of repentance to the judge and the victim's family in the letter she specifically expressed her wish to be
filial to her boyfriend's parents hoping that they could forgive her impulsive act out of emotion and promised to pay double the amount they demanded in compensation the judge determined that jingwen was not an irredeemable sinner it was only because she could not effectively resolve her emotional conflicts debts and pregnancy that she ended up in this tragedy the judge believed that she still had the potential to reform so she was eventually sentenced to life in prison when this case was first announced public opinion generally sympathized with jingwen at that time everyone thought that she was a
victim who had been taken advantage of and abandoned by a young man causing her to lose both her life and her property and only when she could not force her to marry did she take Extreme Action however through in-depth investigation the truth shows that murder for love is only part of the case Financial dispute is her main motive moreover this case was planned very carefully this fact makes the public sympathy for her decrease significantly finally the biggest controversy is about the verdict many people suspect that jingwen copied scriptures and wrote letters of repentance just to
gain Mercy Story 2 in October 2023 Wong seong the heir of the renowned w group in China made headlines when the media reported His official breakup with a famous social media influencer shortly after Wong seong's ex-girlfriend Wong yiming publicly revealed that she had an illegitimate daughter with him this Revelation dominated search rankings for several months meanwhile a weebo post by a lawyer buried among countless entertainment news stories also Drew significant attention in the post the lawyer disclosed the brother-in-law of a billionaire was arrested for committing a homicide side and is under supervised custody at a
designated location here the former billionaire referred to Wong jenin the head of the Wanda group and the social media celebrity's Uncle pointed to Wong seom the arrested individual linu is a well-known billionaire in China who owns several multinational companies as of the end of 2023 news of Lin Yu's arrest had not gained much public traction however an international media report about Chinese police being called to assist in investig ating a 20-year-old murder case in Sweden caused a stir soon after the phrase lenu Wang seong's Uncle suspected of murdering two wives became a trending topic across
major media platforms people began to realize that this powerful billionaire was implicated in several severe criminal cases how had he managed to evade the law for over 15 years let's go back to the morning of March 18th 2003 in an ordinary family home in the Hugo District Southwest of gothenberg the second largest city in Sweden after breakfast a woman named Veronica Lynn then 30 years old took her three-year-old son Marcus to daycare before heading to the campus of Chalmer University of Technology one of Sweden's most prestigious Universities at the time she was a student there
born in 1973 Veronica was the second child in her family and had an older sister named Christina from a young age Veronica had a strong passion for East Asian culture she had worked at a few Chinese restaurants in Gothenburg in 1996 at the age of 23 she traveled to dalan China to study learning Chinese while teaching English part-time during this period she met lenu a man 10 years her senior who was also a student in her English class over time the two developed a romantic relationship before Christmas 1997 Veronica still in dalan sent a letter
home to her family sharing that she had fallen in love with a charismatic and influential man in Doan it seemed that Veronica was more deeply invested in the relationship than lyu in 1998 after finishing her studies abroad Veronica returned to gothenberg and soon discovered she was pregnant she shared the news with linu who was initially very surprised but decided to take responsibility later during police interrogations lenu stated according to Chinese Customs having a child without being married is not acceptable for Veronica the child and myself I immediately went to Gothenburg Veronica's family arranged a wedding
registration at the city hall some reports described their relationship as a romantic crossb love story however in reality lyu was known to be quite a philanderer and without the pregnancy he likely would never have married Veronica lyu later remarked at first I really liked Veronica but over time I noticed her flaws Veronica was very emotional and impulsive we had discussed marriage before but never made a final decision despite this the couple enjoyed a brief period of Happiness after their wedding every time lyu returned to Sweden he brought gifts for Veronica's parents ranging from Exquisite Chinese
porcelain to elegant leather jackets however the long periods of Separation gradually eroded their relationship when their son Marcus was born in June 1999 Len was not even present afterward Veronica moved back to her parents home with Marcus living with her parents parents Veronica led a simple life in the mornings she would take Marcus to daycare then attend her classes and return home afterward to care for her parents and son she usually got home around 3: or 400 p.m. lyu sent about 10,000 Swedish Crona approximately $900 monthly to support Veronica and Marcus however over time he
became increasingly reluctant and often delayed the payments by December 2002 Veronica requested a divorce and lyu agreed acknowledging that their marriage had become nominal and was being maintained only for their child however neither of them was willing to compromise when it came to custody of Marcus in the spring of 2003 shortly before the incident lenu sent Veronica an email with a threatening tone don't push me I love Marcus more than you do I will come to Sweden to talk things through with you Veronica responded if you want to fight go ahead on March 18th 2003
Veronica failed to return home by the evening her parents went to pick up Marcus from daycare and repeatedly called her phone although her phone was on no one answered by 9:00 p.m. Veronica's parents reported her missing to the police providing the following information Veronica was 30 years old 5' 6 in tall with shoulder length dark brown hair she was last seen wearing a leather jacket and a shirt by the morning of March 19th Veronica was still missing leaving her parents extremely worried during police interviews Veronica's mother mentioned that the previous evening she had heard several
screams in the hallway however when she tried to follow the sound to investigate the screaming had stopped fortunately Veronica's phone was still active and could be connected the police began using technical methods to locate the phone on the evening of March 19th the police traced the signal from Veronica's phone and discovered it was within the apartment complex where her family lived however due to the limitations of tech technology at the time they couldn't pinpoint the exact unit the police resorted to calling her phone and listening at the doors of each apartment to determine where the
sound was coming from eventually they found Veronica's phone in the first floor apartment of a man named Tang Jong the police knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered forced to break in they were horrified by what they saw Veronica lay collapsed in the hallway leading to the bedroom surrounded by dark red stains signs of a struggle were evident on her body and she was no longer breathing it seemed the screams Veronica's mother had heard the previous evening were her final cries Tang Jong the apartment's owner had disappeared Without a Trace
however his passport was found in the apartment and the police released an image of it as evidence initially investigators strongly suspected Tang Jong of murdering Veronica especially after they tracked his phone signal moving quickly toward the Swedish Danish border this further supported the theory that tangan was fleeing to evade Justice however when the police followed his phone signal they discovered it had been discarded in a trash can near the train station Veronica's family lived on the second floor of the same building while Tang Jong lived on the first floor as his name suggests Tang Jong
was of Chinese descent reports indicated that his Swedish language skills were poor whereas Veronica was fluent in both Swedish and Chinese occasionally Tang Jong had asked Veronica to help translate official letters from the local government Veronica's parents described Tang Jong as a seemingly gentle person who never had conflicts with neighbors making it difficult to imagine what could have motivated him to commit such a heinous act when asked if Veronica had conflicts with anyone else her parents immediately mentioned her estranged husband lyu they explained that the couple was in the midst of a contentious divorce and
had been fiercely arguing over custody of their son additionally linu a wealthy businessman from China would likely face the prospect of giving Veronica a significant portion of his assets if the divorce was finalized something he was unwilling to accept furthermore lyu was using his marriage to Veronica to apply for residency in Sweden Veronica's decision to file for divorce at this time would have greatly displeased him hearing this the police began investigating ly's travel records and discovered that he was currently in gothenberg Sweden staying at the Sheran hotel in the city even more surprising was that
Veronica's parents had no idea lenu had come to Sweden in the past lenu would stay at their home when visiting this time however he had secretly checked into the Sheridan Hotel could there be a specific reason for this unusual behavior the police quickly arrested lyu at the Sheran Hotel during the interrogation lyu expressed anger stating that the suspicions against him were deeply upsetting he claimed he had never anticipated such an incident and that Veronica's death caused him immense grief lenu explained that he had not informed his in-laws about his trip to Sweden because he was
traveling in Europe for business originally Sweden was not part of his itinerary but due to an urgent deal he decided to visit gothenberg since his stay was brief he didn't want to inconvenience his in-laws more importantly lyu had an alibi Veronica's time of death was estimated to be around 3:30 p.m. on March 18th while ly was reportedly with business partners the entire day until late at night his defense defense attorney highlighted this point and argued that given ly Yu's Alibi the suspicions surrounding Tang Jong who was on the Run seemed far more compelling after a
month of Investigations and multiple hearings Swedish prosecutors concluded that there was insufficient evidence to charge linu and he was released on April 25th 2003 lyu boarded a flight back to China making any further attempts to detain him significantly more challenging since Veronica's death the police had been unable to loc Tang Jong the company he worked for reported that he had been absent without notice since March 18th and no one had been able to contact him a breakthrough occurred on April 30th when a woman walking her dog near Veronica's family's apartment complex noticed her dog refusing
to leave a patch of grass behind the building the dog barked incessantly at a particular spot where the ground appeared Disturbed this area was directly below the window of Tang jong's apartment aware of the murder that had taken place in the building the woman quickly contacted the police upon arrival officers dug beneath the grass and uncovered Tang jong's decomposing body it turned out that he had not fled to evade justice but had himself Fallen victim to Foul Play More crucially the autopsy revealed that Tang Jong had died on March 17th one day before Veronica's murder
this meant he could not have been her killer the police then re-examined Tang jong's apartment the scene of Veronica's murder and conducted forensic testing the results show showed that the red stains at the crime scene contained DNA from three individuals Veronica Tang Jong and an unidentified male with suspicions about Tang Jong eliminated the police resumed their investigation into linu they returned to the Sheran hotel in Gothenburg where lenu had stayed and conducted forensic testing in his room the results revealed that the unidentified male DNA found at the murder scene also matched DNA collected in Len's
hotel room years later with the assistance of Chinese authorities Swedish police identified the suspect he was 37 years old at the time and named Jang song based on the available evidence Swedish investigators theorized that ly you may have hired Jong song as a Hitman to deal with his Troublesome wife Veronica killing Veronica at Chalmer University of Technology was clearly impractical and abducting her on the way home would have attracted attention the most feasible location for the crime was the apartment building where Veronica lived in other words Tang jong's death may have occurred because the perpetrator
needed a location to kill Veronica Tang Jong was murdered on March 17th and the killer dismembered him burying The Remains under the grass behind the apartment complex under the cover of Darkness the killer then used Tang jong's apartment as a hideout the following day when Veronica returned home the perpetrator abducted her in the hallway and brought her to Tang jong's apartment after killing Veronica the perpetrator took Tang jong's passport and phon to fabricate the appearance of Tang fleeing to avoid responsibility for the crime thereby framing him as for why Jang song's DNA was found in
Lin's hotel room it was likely because Jang song met with lyu at the hotel to report the completion of his task while staying at the hotel Jang song may have been bleeding from an injury inadvertently leaving traces of his DNA behind on June 7th 2005 Swedish authorities issued an international warrant for lenu initi iting a nearly decade long Pursuit however with no extradition treaty between Sweden and China combined with the influence of the Lynn and Wong families in China bringing lyu back to Sweden was nearly impossible most people might assume ly's most significant claim to
fame was being the brother-in-law of billionaire Wong janlin once the richest man in China and Asia however ly's true power came not from W Jen Lin but from his father Lin Leen Jong and his sister Lin Yong Yong was married to Wang Jean Linn and was also the mother of Wang sheetssong though she maintained a low profile she was far from a mere Noble woman leading an unremarkable life within a wealthy family yusang and Lin Yu's father Lin lenong was a prominent figure in the military moreover Lin lienjang was not a rags to Rich's soldier
who climbed the ranks through perseverance instead he was born into immense wealth Lin Lian jang's father Yong and Lin Yu's grandfather was a well-known Merchant in Lin awang Longo County shingai City Hab Province China by the time Lin lean Jang was born his family was already one of the most influential forces in ly jiawang the grandfather initially intended for lin Leen Jong to study business and manage the family's assets but Lin lienjang was determined to pursue a military career later Yong inherited her grandfather's business Acumen in 1994 she founded lyncher Investment Group a conglomerate with
interests in construction Food Services and entertainment in March 2014 Yong joined the board of directors of the Wanda group rumors circulated on Chinese social media that when Wanda faced a debt crisis in 2017 Yong contributed 200 billion yuan to rescue the company in 2005 after Swedish police issued an international warrant for linu they initiated procedures to travel to dalan China to gather additional evidence during this trip Swedish authorities met with ly Yu's personal assistant ly Ling ly Ling had been responsible for booking ly Yu's flight to Sweden and organizing his itinerary during his stay there
Swedish police suspected that ly Ling might know the real purpose behind ly Yu's trip to Sweden they urged her to share any relevant information and warned her that her situation could become dangerous however linling appeared indifferent to their warnings and was unwilling to cooperate with the investigation years later ly Ling became ly Yu's second wife unaware that she was walking into the doorway of death in February 2014 a user named Uncle Bluebeard posted an article titled even the wealthy face risks my sister died on Co Samui Island Thailand on the tiya Forum which quickly gained

for at least 8 to 10 hours before her body was discovered what raised suspicion was the discovery of scratches on Lin Yu's left shoulder which appeared to be fresh nail marks suggesting he had been involved in a struggle additionally lyu waited until January 20th to 2 days after the incident to call Lin Ling's parents in China and inform them of their daughter's sudden death during the autopsy the forensic doctor discovered clear bruising on Lin Ling's neck caused by forceful strangulation confirming that she had been murdered the cause of death was determined to be asphixiation due
to pressure on the neck the crime scene was a private Villa at the estate Samu on Co Samu Island a 2011 article revealed that linu had purchased this Villa in 2008 during a trip to Thailand in 2013 a Chinese language newspaper in Thailand jingu Jong Yuan reported on Lin Ling's case however due to the significant influence of the ly and Wang families at the time all names in the Articles were replaced with pseudonyms linl was referred to as as Julie and her sister the writer of the weebo post mentioned earlier was also anonymized later ly
Ling's brother-in-law publicly shared more details about the events online he explained that linling had been extremely close to her parents and as the youngest child she had been cherished by them from a young age No Matter Where She Went linling would call or message her parents daily however starting on January 18th ly Ling's parents could no longer reach her it wasn't until January that they received a call from linu ly Ling who didn't know how to swim would never have gone swimming alone in the middle of the night their Villa on Co Sami was an
ultra luxurious four-star Resort ly Ling's parents had visited the property many times as had her sister's family the resort featured strict security measures making it highly unlikely for an accidental drowning to occur especially in the family's private pool lyu claimed that on the night of January 17th after drinking heavily he had fallen asleep sleep only to find ly Ling drowned in the morning he added that Lin Ling rarely drank but she may have had a little that evening despite the many doubts surrounding the case ly Ling's parents initially chose to believe their son-in-law and began
arranging for lin Ling's body to be transported back to China on January 22nd the leoning Provincial Police Bureau contacted ly Ling's father to inquire if the family was aware of her accident in Thailand when they confirmed they were aware the police advised them that preserving Lin Ling's body was crucial for any future investigation Tai police had preliminarily classified the case as a deliberate homicide at this point Lin Ling's parents were utterly shocked they immediately traveled to Thailand to review the forensic report for years after ly Ling's death they tirelessly sought Justice for their daughter initially
under pressure from ly Ling's parents Thai authorities arrested lyu a special investigation committee was established to handle the case however it appears that lyu used his financial influence to disrupt the investigation which was subsequently halted by an official suspension order ly Ling's family refused to give up and continued to file lawsuits with the co- Sami Court which accepted their case the court issued an arrest warrant for lenu but after paying a substantial bail lenu was released he was supposed to remain in the country while out on bail but for reasons unclear linu managed to return
to China in November 2014 lyu entered the United Kingdom using a passport under his own name the UK's facial recognition system flagged him as an internationally wanted fugitive the United Kingdom having an extradition treaty with Sweden promptly arrested lenu and extradited him to gothamberg Sweden in January 2016 Swedish prosecutors charged lenu with two counts of incitement to commit murder although there was evidence that lenu was not present at the scene when Veronica was killed the prosecution argued that he had hired someone to murder both Veronica and Tang Jong during the trial lenu argued that he
had never met Tang Jong did not know he lived on the first floor of Veronica's apartment building and could not have ordered any actions involving him however Veronica's father testified that lenu had met Tang Jong several times while staying at their home in Sweden another Chinese individual who had previously lived with tang Jong also confirmed that lenu had interacted with both of them after multiple hearings and testimonies from over 40 Witnesses the jury unanimously concluded that lenu had orchestrated Veronica's murder with the most compelling evidence being Jang song's DNA found in the hotel room where
lyu stayed lyu was sentenced to life imprisonment as Sweden does not have the death penalty the harshest punishment available under Swedish law however the jury also determined that there was insufficient evidence to prove lyu had orchestrated Tang jong's murder they speculated that Tang jong's death might not have been part of ly's plan following the life sentence ly's legal team was left stunned he had spent a significant sum of money hiring three defense lawyers who worked tirelessly to find a way to appeal the decision soon they found an opportunity the lawyers discovered that a jury member
had previously posted extreme anti-chinese statements on Twitter suggesting potential bias according to Legal regulations this rendered the verdict invalid the case was remanded to a lower court for a retrial with a new judge and jury jury what happened next was unexpected with the same evidence in documentation the new jury concluded that there was insufficient evidence linking lyu to Veronica's murder he was declared not guilty the court reasoned that the DNA evidence only established a connection between linu and Jong song who was present in the apartment where the murder occurred but did not prove linu had
hired Jong song to kill his wife furthermore there was not enough evidence to confirm Jang song himself was the perpetrator in response to to the verdict both the Swedish prosecution and linu filed appeals the prosecution sought to continue holding linu criminally accountable while ly's reason for appealing surprised many upon being declared not guilty the court awarded him 4.1 million Swedish Crona to cover his legal expenses however lyu argued that this amount was insufficient he claimed that his legal team had hired investigators and translated investigative documents into Chinese raising the total cost of legal and investigative
fees to at least 7.5 million Swedish Kona despite these appeals no further action was taken as lyu swiftly returned to China after his return in May and September 2017 linu established two companies zenu Investment corporation in Shenzhen and Tang Shiga biotechnology company in dalan these companies focused on biosciences and pharmaceuticals in 2018 the zena cell Bank was inaugurated along with the Zena Life Sciences industrial park in dalan reports indicated that Zena's ambitious goal was to create a personal cell bank for every citizen in China in an interview lyu stated that he adhered to the business
philosophy of anamor kazuo which emphasizes reverence for nature and compassion for people valuing ethics and love for Humanity watching the interview video it would be hard to imagine that lenu had been implicated in multiple serious criminal cases Beyond cell storage zenu fol focused on Innovative cell science research at the 2018 Doan International Life Sciences conference lyu delivered a speech and presented a video of his daughter he revealed that his daughter had been born with a genetic defect on her fourth birthday the previous year she was still unable to walk however thanks to Zena's products she
was now healthy and active by this timeline Len's daughter was born around 2013 shortly after the death of his second wife linling this L suggests that lyu quickly married a third wife which led many to revisit and scrutinize his past in Veronica's case a key figure was Jang song who had been linked to both the crime scene and ly Yu's hotel room it was believed that finding Jang song could provide crucial leads however in October 2015 Swedish police inquired with Chinese authorities about D Jang song's whereabouts only to be told that he had been missing
for years in 2021 Sweden's SVT television Network aired a six-part documentary titled Veronica and the Chinese millionaire which detailed the case and trial sparking widespread discussion in Sweden the documentary featured interviews with ly Yu's son Marcus as well as Veronica's father sister and close friends after Veronica's death Marcus lived with his maternal grandparents and never saw his father linu or his paternal grandparents in China again initially his grandparents told him that his parents had died in a car accident however when he was 7 years old Marcus stumbled upon a videotape at home and saw news
reports suggesting his father might have been involved in his mother's death the truth was devastating for him fortunately his grandparents raised him well in the documentary Marcus revealed that he had once tried to contact his father he wrote a letter to lyu through a Chinese journalist sending it to the headquarters of jiner goo in the letter Marcus wrote dear father this is not an easy letter to write I am your son but we have not seen each other for a very long time about you I have only a few childhood memories over the years I've
heard many things about you from others like how you are kind generous and talented but I've also heard disturbing stories about terrible actions attributed to you I hope to form my own understanding of you I want to know what happened between you and my mother what do you think of me as your son do you still have any fatherly love for me or am I just someone you don't want to acknowledge despite sending the letter Marcus did not receive a response it's possible that lyu never saw the letter due to some misunderstanding or perhaps he
wasn't ready to confront Marcus in August 2024 Sweden's SVT television reported that lenu had been arrested in China on suspition of murder however Chinese authorities have not yet released further details about his arrest after more than 20 years as a fugitive ly Yu's sudden capture raises questions does this signal the unveiling of more hidden secrets or the downfall of a once powerful figure we can only wait for official reports according to Hong Kong news many legal experts believe that ly Yu's arrest in China after 21 years suggests he is likely to face trial there the
chances of extradition to Sweden are considered very low the trial will face several challenges including the legality of evidence the defendants right to a fair defense and the complexities of international legal cooperation under Chinese law if the evidence is conclusive lyu could be sentenced to life imprisonment or even the death penalty depending on the severity of the crime if the evidence is insufficient he could be acquitted and released this brings today's case to an end this case reminds us that no matter how much time has passed or how difficult a case may seem the Dignity
of the law and the pursuit of Justice must never be compromised Story three this case took place in a residential area on shintai Road in the shinjang district District of new Taipei City Taiwan on April 17th 2008 a high school student named pingua returned home from school as usual as soon as she stepped inside she immediately sensed something was wrong her mother wasn't there to greet her as usual and the house was eerily quiet pingua began to feel uneasy she called out for her mother several times but received no response she walked to her mother's
room and gently pushed open the door what she saw was a horrifying scene that would likely haunt her forever her mother was bound hand and foot with tape lying face down naked on the bed with blood stains all over the mattress fighting back her fear and grief pingua shakily called the police upon receiving the report police and emergency Personnel quickly arrived at the scene after an initial examination they confirmed that pingu's mother had been brutally murdered there was a deep wound on her neck clearly indicating death by throat cutting the police immediately secured the crime
scene and began a thorough investigation at the scene they discovered a fruit knife and scissors suspected to be the murder weapons the room showed signs of being searched police initially believed this might be a robbery murder case they theorized that a thief had broken in when no one was home unexpectedly encountering the homeowner returning early when confronted with the sudden appearance of the homeowner the thief might have panicked and committed the brutal murder additionally given the victim's naked State Police suspected she might have been sexually assaulted before for death however specific details would have to
wait for the forensic report the victim yapong was 46 years old and had previously run a coffee wholesale business with her husband their marriage had been harmonious but tragically her husband had died of a heart attack 3 years earlier for Kon this was a devastating blow after her husband's death she lost her support system and the coffee business had to cease operations fortunately thanks to savings from their previous business kaong was able to maintain a living and raise her two daughters alone at the time of the incident her older daughter was studying at University in
ji while her younger daughter pingua lived with her the forensic report soon arrived it revealed that the victim had 23 knife wounds from her chin to neck with the fatal wound being a 2.4 in deep cut that caused severe bleeding the victim ultimately died from excessive blood loss and respiratory failure additionally forensics discovered a curved mark on Wang's left cheek suggesting this was a fingernail Mark left when the killer pressed their hand against her face there was also minor bleeding under her scalp indicating her head had been struck notably Seaman was found in the victim's
body police initially thought this was a Robbery Homicide but further investigation made this scenario unlikely first there were no signs of forced entry on the windows or doors of the victim's home second the family dog hadn't barked at the time of the incident suggest suggesting the killer was someone familiar to the victim while the scene showed signs of being searched the mobile phone and loose cash on the table weren't taken most importantly the residential area where the victim lived had strict security measures the complex had a large Iron Gate but for convenience only a side
gate was used for Resident access additionally security guards were on duty 24 to7 and all visitors had to register these circumstances made police suspect the crime was likely committed by someone the victim knew therefore police immediately went to the security office to check the visitor log and surveillance footage from that day indeed through the surveillance cameras they spotted a suspicious man the footage showed that at 1:51 p.m. that day a man wearing a black shirt and baseball cap head down while on his phone had taken advantage of the security guard's momentary in attention to slip
into the complex with other residents 2 minutes later this man entered the elevator and quickly turned to press the the button for the sixth floor the floor where tuing lived unfortunately because he was wearing a cap the cameras couldn't capture his face at 5:29 p.m. the man left the complex carrying a white plastic bag this timing coincided with when yeu aing was murdered police immediately made this person their primary suspect to further identify the suspect police called in the victim's daughter pingua to review the surveillance footage surprisingly as soon as she saw the images pingua
immediately recognized the man as Uncle Gan someone they knew well pingua revealed to police that they had been neighbors with Uncle Gan and since her father's death he had frequently visited her mother and shown great concern for both her and her sister based on pingu's description police quickly identified the suspect the suspect was ly Gan 45 years old married with two children his main business was in mainland China so he frequently traveled between Taiwan and China initially police worried he might have already left Taiwan but after checking immigration records they discovered he was still in
the country therefore the police's primary task was to quickly locate jishan initially police thought they could quickly determine Jon's location through phone tracking but gon seemed well-versed in police surveillance techniques his phone would turn on and off intermittently making it difficult to pinpoint his location even when gan's phone occasionally turned on it appeared to be deliberately misleading police tracking efforts in fact after the murder gishan had been continuously hiding in various locations around Taipei after the incident gan's phone signal first appeared in the sanong area police immediately investigated but by the time they arrived the
signal had moved to ginan at Jan's house police rushed to Jan's home in ginan but were again too late as Jan had already fled at gan's house police found bloodstained clothes he had changed out of at this point police were certain gishan was the murderer when questioning Jan's wife police received an important lead during his Escape jishan had sent a lengthy text message to his wife explaining the incident in the message to his wife jishan admitted to having an affair with he kaong the victim he claimed that kaong had been pressuring him to divorce his
wife and frequently sent him inappropriate videos he wanted to end the relationship but she refused in the message he mentioned that the day before the incident when heed turned to Taiwan from China he had tried to end things peacefully with Kong but couldn't convince her instead kaong threatened him to come to her house at 11:00 a.m. the next day or there would be consequences gishan said that when their negotiation failed again the next afternoon kaong threatened to never let his family live in peace in a moment of lost control gon punched her then kaong suddenly
clutched her chest painfully saying she was having a heart attack and asking gishan to get her medicine but gishan thought Kong was just acting to gain sympathy so he took no action however the situation suddenly deteriorated when Kong unexpectedly collapsed on the floor motionless jishan quickly checked but found Kong had stopped breathing at that moment he realized Kong might have actually died from heart disease however because the residential complex had surveillance cameras everywhere he knew quang's death would definitely be linked to him so he devised a plan to Stage the scene as a robbery murder
he he first used tape to bind quang's hands and feet then took a knife and cut her throat because the knife was dull it only caused some small wounds but then he discovered Kong wasn't dead and had awakened from the pain of the knife wounds after waking up Kong began screaming loudly so in panic gon stabbed her multiple times after reading gan's message to his wife police weren't entirely convinced of its truthfulness the Urgent task remained finding gishan because his phone signal kept changing locations police were constantly being L around to ensure Jan's phone stayed
on so they could accurately determine his location police employed a strategy of having the victim's daughter Pingo send him messages in a gentle tone surprisingly Gan responded to Pingo messages he replied it's too late now to apologize to Kong and her children I will pay with my life give me a few days no need to wait for legal punishment I will pay with my life but then his tone changed that day your mother said you had grown up and were very good ranking in the top 15 of your school I hope you two sisters will
support each other don't let your mother down I have nothing more to say Pingo was very angry when she saw such a response she didn't understand what gishan meant he was a murderer yet was advising the sisters to support each other was he trying to comfort them however to encourage gishan to surrender voluntarily Pingo suppressed her anger and continued messaging him Uncle you need to give us us an explanation you can't just kill someone and then tell us to support each other and think that's enough that doesn't help we're all waiting for your explanation please
can you appear quickly tomorrow is Mother's funeral I want to resolve this quickly so mother can rest in peace jishan then sent Pingo a message explaining what had happened in the message to Pingo he wrote I'm truly sorry I really didn't mean to at that time I should have been calmer should have gone to save your mother what I'm telling you now is true I have no reason to lie to you last year around May or June I gave your mother $600,000 New Taiwan dollars approximately $20,000 to invest in a fund recently because I was
facing some financial difficulties I asked your mother to sell the fund so I could use the capital she agreed I came back to Taiwan on Wednesday and when I went to your house your mother told me she had sold the fund a few days before and received the money when I came to your house the next day your mother suddenly said the money was gone and threw her bank book at me to see in anger I punched her in the back then she screamed about having a heart attack and asked me to get medicine but
I thought she was just pretending so I didn't pay attention the subsequent description of events by jishan basically matched what he had told his wife earlier the main difference between his explanations to his wife and pingua was the motive for the crime in his explanation to pingua the reason was that chiefing had spent the money he urgently needed needed causing him to angrily strike her but in the message to his wife he said it was because chiefing had been pursuing him and pressuring him to divorce causing him to lose control and punch her police currently
found it difficult to judge the truthfulness of these two messages however in both messages jishan mentioned that he had returned to Taiwan from China the day before the incident April 16th police then extracted surveillance footage from April 16th and discovered that gishan had indeed returned from China that day and gone straight to the victim's home however on the way gishan had stopped at a supermarket and bought a roll of tape before going to Ching's house shockingly this roll of tape matched exactly with the tape used to bind the victim this important Discovery LED police to
suspect that gan's actions were not a momentary loss of control but had been premeditated completely contradicting what he had described in his previous messages at this point the detective in charge of the case directly messaged gan urging him to surrender mentioning that cooperating with police now might give him a chance for a reduced sentence however gishan arly replied that he worked in telecommunications and the police couldn't easily catch him he even boastfully declared that in a few days he would openly board a plane and leave the country actually through these message exchanges police had detected
that gon's phone signal frequently appeared in the jouy area of Elon police quickly went to Elon and upon arrival split into multiple teams one team investigated hotels in Elon While others maintained 24-hour surveillance at train stations and major intersections in josi to prevent the suspect from escaping however after several days the police search in Elon showed no progress just as police were beginning to doubt whether gishan was still in ji the case had an important breakthrough that day police spotted a man buying cigarettes in a convenience store whose appearance closely matched suspect gon police approached
to inquire and ask the man for identification the man insisted he wasn't Gan but rather Jan's brother and produced his driver's license police carefully examined the ID the man provided the more they looked the more they felt the photo on it didn't match the man before them instead the man's appearance was very similar to the suspect jishan they were seeking however unable to completely confirm the man's identity police hadn't taken any forceful measures at this point the man requested to use the bathroom room since they hadn't confirmed his identity police couldn't let him leave like
that so they assigned two officers to accompany him to a nearby store to use their bathroom on the way to the bathroom the man suddenly stopped saying he had something important to report directly to the team leader the team leader was in a police car nearby after the man was brought to the car the team leader directly asked you are Gan aren't you at this point the man no longer tried to hide and directly admitted yes subsequent L Gan was taken by police to the hotel where he was staying for a search at the hotel
police found the victim CH Fang's identification documents Bank book and bank cards knowing he could no longer Escape gishan revealed the whole truth about his complicated relationship with ch Fong it turned out that jishan and ye Fong had known each other many years before at that time Jan was serving in the military in kimman while Chong was working at an ice cream shop because of her Beauty she was admired by many soldiers stationed there among them was Gan who had pursued CH Fong passionately and confessed his feelings multiple times but was always rejected later gishan
completed his military service and they lost contact As Time passed they both married and had their own families however after all those years Jan's feelings for Chong had never faded surprisingly jishan learned through inquiries that CH Fong had bought a small Villa by the beach in ginan on actually CH Fong and her family normally lived in shinjang District new taipe city where the murder occurred The Villa in jhan was really just a place for CH fo and her family to rest during holidays to get close to the woman he had secretly loved for years Gan
bought a villa opposite CH Fang's house living near his dream woman his purpose was to create accidental Encounters in 200 2003 Gan moved into his new house in Jean Shan with a calculated plan day after day he patiently waited for seemingly chance encounters with ch Fong fate seemed to smile on Jan's schemes when Chong couldn't hide her surprise and emotion at meeting an old acquaintance after so many years now become her neighbor from casual social conversations they gradually became closer Gan though married deliberately kept this secret and once again devoted himself to pursuing the woman
who had rejected him in the past at that time happiness was still smiling on CH Fang's small family her marital relationship was still as beautiful as in the early days so she firmly rejected all of gon's romantic advances but then fate turned cruel when in 2005 CH Fang's husband suddenly passed away from a heart attack the pain of losing her life partner shattered her spirit and the following days were immersed in grief and loneliness the seaside Villa in Gan sha once witnessed to her small family's happy moments now only held sad memories jishan saw an
opportunity in ch Fang's pain he understood this was when she was at her most vulnerable and lonely and with the sophistication of a predator Gan gradually worked his way into CH Fang's broken heart however gishan always hid from CH Fong that he was married to his wife he lied that he needed to work in China since Gan frequently did business in China his wife was used to this and didn't ask many questions subsequently Gan and Chong began a passionate Affair jishan often stayed overnight at CH Fang's home and and CH Fang's daughters also knew Gan
affectionately calling him Uncle gishan during their relationship because gan's business and wasn't going well and frequently suffered losses he continuously borrowed money from Chong to cover Capital shortfalls however when the company was profitable he did once give Chong $600,000 New Taiwan dollars approximately $20,000 us to invest in a fund but such situations were rare most often he was borrowing money from Chone As Time passed due to Jan's constant demands for money from CH Fong their relationship began to show cracks during one argument jishan accidentally revealed that he was married Chong couldn't accept becoming the other
woman and decided to end the relationship with gon demanding he repay the money he had borrowed previously however Chong never received any money back from gishan meanwhile jishan didn't want to break up with ch F to escape Jan's harassment Chong stopped answering any of his calls or messages unexpectedly jishan directly returned from China to Taiwan went to CH Fang's residential complex and stood below her floor sending threatening messages either let me come up or I'll go find your daughter you choose if you don't see your daughter for a few days that's my doing faced with
such threats Chong was forced to give in and let jishan up in the end they didn't successfully break up but reconciled instead however TR phone set one condition Gan had to divorce his wife she believed this was the only way they could have a long-term future together although Gan outwardly agreed to this demand he took no actual steps to follow through later because gan's business in China needed a large amount of capital he asked Chong to sell the 600,000 new Taiwan Dollar investment fund to resolve his company's urgent financial difficulties Chong agreed at the time
on the afternoon of April 16th 2008 one day before the murder gishan specifically returned to Taiwan from China with the purpose of reclaiming the 600,000 new Taiwan Dollar from Chong that day he first stopped at a supermarket to buy tape then went to CH Fang's residential complex Gan explained to police that he bought the tape because Chong had special preferences and the tape was just to add excitement that evening they used the tape at CH Fang's home after finishing Gan brought up the money issue and Chong said they would discuss it the next day the
next day the day of the murder around 1:00 p.m. Gan came to CH Fang's home they had intimate relations again afterward when Gan brought up the money again Chong suddenly said the money was all spent upon hearing this jishan lost control and had a violent argument with ch fo what happened afterward matched what jishan had described in his messages to his wife and pingua he thought Chong had died from a heart condition so he deliberately staged the scene scene to look like a robbery murder however during the initial trial gon suddenly changed his previous testimony
in court gishan said that CH Fong had actually committed suicide he claimed that day while arguing with ch Fong she suddenly lost emotional control ran to the kitchen and grabbed a fruit knife and scissors then in an extremely agitated State CH Fong used the scissors to stab her own neck jishan said he had rushed to press his hand against the wound but Chone gradually lost her breath and heartbeat jishan said he was very frightened then knowing that CH Fang's Death In His presence would not only implicate him in the case but would also leave her
two daughters without support therefore he decided to Stage the scene as a robbery murder this way at least CH Fang's daughters could receive their mother's insurance money however Jan's latest testimony completely contradicted the forensic report according to the examination report the Fatal neck wound on Chone was 2.4 in deep and 1.2 in wide meanwhile the scissors found at the scene were double-bladed with plastic coating with a maximum width of only 0.8 in therefore this fatal wound clearly couldn't have been caused by the scissors furthermore the bleeding under CH Fang's scalp was consistent with gan's earlier
testimony about punching her and causing her to fall unconscious additionally the fingernail mark on CH Fang's cheek LED forensics to speculate that this Mark could have been made when Gan pressed her head down down as she regained Consciousness and struggled while he was cutting her throat based on this Collective evidence the judge didn't believe testimony but rather believed Jan's earlier confession that he had knocked Chong unconscious with his fist then bound her with tape and killed her the judge also pointed out that the defendant and Chon were lovers at the time if the defendant had
no intention to kill when CH regained Consciousness he should have immediately untied her and taken her to the hospital that would have been a normal reaction moreover regarding the defendant's defense that he did this so CH Fang's two daughters could receive insurance money the judge said how could someone willingly bear the serious crime of murder for two people unrelated to him after committing such a serious crime the defendant should have shown remorse apologized to the victim begged for forgiveness and accepted legal punishment however the defendant instead tried to fabricate a story about insurance money to
rationalize his actions such a defense was clear clearly unreasonable and also showed he had no intention of repenting finally the judge sentenced Lyn gishan to life imprisonment Gan was dissatisfied with the sentence and appealed but the Supreme Court rejected his appeal Story 4 keep it simple and follow your heart this is a beautiful line from her social media profile she was a young beautiful an optimistic international student who had just graduated from the University of Technology Sydney she had secured her dream job and was brimming with hope for the future however it seemed that fate

Australia given the poor cell phone signal in that area no one thought too much of it at first it wasn't until 1040 a.m. on April 24th 2 days later that a tourist near the mouth of Snapper point in Central Coast Newcastle spotted something floating in the water that resembled a human body and alerted the police after receiving the report the police immediately arrived at the scene and retrieved the body from the water it was identified as the body of a young woman wrapped in a plastic bag estimated to be between 20 and 30 years old
with black hair the victim had dozens of stab wounds with fatal injuries to her neck there were also signs that her wrists and ankles had been bound with rope the estimated time of death was around 48 hours prior initial assessments indicated that this was a deliberate murder with the perpetrator intentionally dumping the body at this location no evidence of contact with rocks was found on the body leading authorities to believe that this was not the primary crime scene unfortunately due to prolonged submersion in water many critical Clues were destroyed and no fingerprints or other evidence
of the perpetrator could be recovered Additionally the victim's face was severely damaged making it impossible to determine her identity to solve the case quickly the police used computer software to reconstruct the victim's facial features and release the image hoping the public would come forward with any information on the afternoon of April 25th Michelle's aunt and uncle reported to the police that their niece had been missing for 3 days and asked for help locating her the police suspected that the victim found the previous day might be Michelle however because the victim's face was severely disfigured and
she was found unclothed with no clear identifying marks identification was difficult the police decided to compare DNA samples they collected Michelle's personal items such as a toothbrush hairbrush and other belongings on April 26th while the initial DNA results were still pending the search for Michelle intensified many of her classmates and Friends began posting about her disappearance online especially the friend who had seen her on the afternoon of April 21st the Chinese community in Australia was also deeply shaken and widespread concern grew for Michelle's safety after several agonizing days of waiting at 8:00 a.m. on April
29th the police finally announced the DNA comparison results the victim found at Central Coast was indeed Michelle the young woman everyone had been desperately searching for upon hearing the news Michelle's Mother collapsed in grief having already endured the loss of her husband she now faced the devastating reality of losing her beloved daughter who had just stepped into adulthood the question remained on everyone's mind who could commit such a cruel act Michelle had always lived harmoniously with her aunt's family and there had never been any reported conflicts thus at first her relatives were not considered suspicious
Michelle's aunt told police that on April 21st Michelle had been out all day and everything seemed normal when she returned home that afternoon her last known contact with the outside world was at midnight on April 21st during a conversation with her elts teacher after that she completely lost contact leading police to believe she was likely murdered on April 22nd could it be that someone had followed her during the day on April 21st leading to her tragic death the police decided to reconstruct Michelle's movements through extensive surveillance camera footage they were able to retrace her steps
on April 21st first Michelle went to her University and met with some classmates at 300 p.m. she was seen shopping on pit Street in Sydney's Central business district after shopping she took the subway from Central Station to Camp SE arriving home at approximately 4:40 p.m. surveillance footage showed Michelle looking completely normal while shopping and riding the train with no sign of anyone following her there appeared to be no opportunity for her to encounter a stranger who might harm her surveillance footage further revealed that after Michelle returned home on the afternoon of April 21st there was
no record of her leaving the house again coincidentally from April 21st to April 22nd Michelle's uncle was the only other person in the House Michelle's aunt was working in Woolen gong and did not return home until the evening of April 24th and her two children were also away this analysis raised significant suspicion against someone who had previously been overlooked Michelle's Uncle given this the police arrested Derek Barrett charging him with murder and obtaining a search warrant to investigate further Barrett whose full name is Derek Barrett was born in 1989 in a small town called gualin
on the Central Coast not much is known about his early life but after graduation he worked in it for a tech company it is unclear why he developed feelings for Michelle's Aunt who was nearly 20 years older than him shortly after they married he lost his job for the next five years Barrett stayed home unemployed living a routine of sleeping during the day and playing video games at night although his family repeatedly urged him to find a job warning that he would otherwise become useless he always responded with I've applied for jobs but I never
hear back despite his unemployment and laziness Barrett had a calm and polite demeanor he was respectful to all four members of the household including Michelle and there were never any conflicts because of this the family lived in harmony could such a seemingly mild-mannered man really be the one who murdered Michelle Barrett's wife and two children could not believe it they refused to accept that the man they had lived with for 5 years could commit such a crime the family firmly believed that the police had arrested the wrong person but was this really the case as
the investigation deepened more incriminating evidence against Barrett began to Surface Two tourists informed the police that they had seen Barrett at Snapper point on the Central Coast at the time he told them not to approach The Cliffs claiming it was dangerous looking back it seemed he was afraid they would discover the body he had just dumped surveillance footage also captured Barrett driving into the national park near Snapper Point early on the morning of April 24th on his way there he stopped at a gas station to buy a drink and the store's security cameras recorded him
he appeared completely calm at the time police also recovered 19 nude photos of Michelle on Barrett's phone these were taken after he had bound her wrists and ankles and gagged her with duct tape forcing her to pose for the pictures although Barrett had deleted the photos police technicians successfully restored them further Evidence was found on his computer it turned out Barrett had been secretly recording Michelle for a long time he had hidden a camera behind the bathroom mirror to film Michelle while she showered and used the toilet shockingly he did not even spare his wife
Barrett had also filmed her in secret in addition he would sneak into the bedrooms of Michelle and his wife while they were fast asleep and masturbate in front of them all of these acts were recorded revealing Barrett to be a depraved individual combining evidence witness statements and various leads police pieced together the entire sequence of Barrett's crime Barrett had developed a twisted obsession with Michelle Lang his wife's niece all of the politeness he displayed to the family had been a facade Barrett had been waiting for an opportunity to assault her that opportunity came on April
21st when his wife left for work for 3 days and his children were occupied elsewhere that afternoon Michelle returned home in good spirits completely unaware of the monster lying in wait that night she made calls to her aunt and her ilts teacher after hanging up Barrett who had already prepared his plan snuck into her room although Michelle fought back fiercely she was no match for Barrett's strength in the end she was overpowered tied up and subjected to a brutal assault on on April 22nd Barrett continued his depraved actions however he did not expect that at
3:00 p.m. his wife would unexpectedly return home and stay for 3 hours during this time Barrett locked himself in the bathroom leaving the shower running continuously at one point he quickly ran to the kitchen to retrieve something and then rushed back to the bathroom he seemed very nervous about anyone particularly his daughter entering the bathroom when his daughter later asked for shampoo to wash her hair Barrett only cracked the door open slightly handed her the shampoo and told her to use another bathroom at that moment Michelle was likely still in the bathroom perhaps even still
alive tragically his wife had no idea that something horrific was happening inside her own home police believed that if Barrett's wife had discovered his brutal actions at that time she might have been killed as well over the next two days only Barrett and Michelle were in the house for reasons unknown Barrett stabbed Michelle more than 40 times with the most severe wounds to her neck after committing the heinous crime Barrett began planning how to dispose of the evidence he decided on the Cliffs at Snapper point on the Central Coast not far from his parents' home
the area's rugged terrain and Powerful ocean waves made it the ideal location for hiding a body on the morning of April 24th Barrett wrapped Michelle's body in a plastic bag placed it in the trunk of his car and drove 62 Mi 100 km to Snapper point on the way he he stopped to refuel and bought a drink at a gas station where security cameras recorded him appearing completely calm after disposing of the body Barrett deliberately visited his parents' house just a few miles from Snapper point this visit was likely an attempt to establish an alibi
in case police traced his movements to Snapper point that evening Barrett drove to pick up his wife pretending as if nothing had happened he even mentioned that Michelle had not yet returned home on April 25th following Michelle's request the couple went to the police station to report her missing the rest of the story is now well known the police's deduction was logical and all evidence pointed to Barrett as the perpetrator he had lived under the same roof with Michelle for 5 years hiding his true nature despite the overwhelming evidence Barrett continued to deny his crimes
upon hearing the devastating news about her daughter Michelle's Mother immediately flew to Sydney at a press conference she broke down in tears saying to this day I still cannot accept the fact that my beloved daughter is gone the pain is so overwhelming that I can hardly breathe learning that the killer was Barrett left her even more shocked and speechless her relationship with her sister had been strong and she would never have allowed Michelle to live with them otherwise she firmly believed that her sister knew nothing about Barrett's actions as everyone had been deceived by his
cunning and deceitful facad Michelle's aunt was consumed with guilt and regret blaming herself for not recognizing her husband's true nature sooner on May 4th 2016 the trial for Michelle's murder began for the first time Michelle's Mother relatives and Friends attended the courtroom however Barrett did not appear in court that day his lawyer stated that Barrett maintained his innocence claiming he was being framed and that he intended to apply for bail to be released on June 29th the case was brought back to the local Court in addition to the murder charge Barrett faced 27 other charges
including unlawful imprisonment sexual assault and filming others private parts without their consent the prosecution informed Michelle Lang's mother that this was only a preliminary hearing in the early stages of the trial and that her attendance was not necessary however despite not having fully recovered her health she traveled once again from chingu to Sydney she said even if I have to sell our only house and lose everything I will make sure the perpetrator is brought to Justice due to additional evidence the trial was postponed to August 10th and then delayed again during this time Barrett attempted
to evade responsibility by pretending to have a mental illness however after a medical evaluation it was determined that he was not mentally ill perhaps realizing that escaping conviction was unlikely Barrett did not apply for bail throughout the proceedings on August 16th 2017 the case resumed at the local Court this time Barrett did not appear in person but attended via video link link he voluntarily pleaded guilty to five of the 28 charges including murder and unlawful imprisonment however he insisted I don't remember what happened I just suddenly found myself staring at a sink full of blood
he claimed I must have overdosed on drugs and eaten excessively which caused me to lose control of my actions it was clear that this statement was an attempt to mitigate his punishment on December 13th 2017 the New South Wales Supreme Court held the sentencing hearing from Michelle's case Barrett appeared in court and admitted to breaking into Michelle's room in the early hours of April 22nd despite her resistance he tied her to the bed took photos of her stabbed her over 40 times hid her body in the house for 2 days and then disposed of it
he expressed what appeared to be remorse saying my actions betrayed two families she was such a beautiful girl I feel ashamed of what I did I am here to tell the truth and offer a small contribution whether they accept or not however throughout the hearing Barrett kept his head down shielding his eyes with a tissue police believed that his behavior demonstrated insincerity during the proceedings Barrett again emphasized that he could not clearly recall what had happened that day he claimed there had been an argument followed by his discovery of blood in the sink he stated
I don't know I think about what happened and why I did it every single day it makes me deeply sad for his memory loss he continued to blame a large intake of drug drugs and excessive eating before the crime he claimed the drugs controlled him and that he had no knowledge of his actions naturally the police rejected his explanation forensic psychology experts testified that methamphetamine typically does not cause memory loss particularly at the dosage Barrett claimed to have taken furthermore the nature of the crime clearly showed premeditation from the act of murder to the disposal
of the body Barrett acted with purpose following a coherent and logical plan surveillance footage showing Barrett calmly stopping to refuel his car and purchase a drink demonstrated his clear state of mind and composure during the incident experts also concluded that all evidence indicated Barrett was a sexual stist with an extraordinarily high risk of reoffending 10 to 100 times higher than the average person making him extremely dangerous they stated that prison was the safest place for him in the end Barrett was convicted of 22 charges including 19 counts of recording intimate images without consent and two
counts of possessing pornographic materials 2 Days Later New South Wales Supreme Court Justice Helen Wilson based on the evidence presented by the prosecution stated that Barrett's actions were an extraordinarily cruel depraved and cowardly crime she further dismissed his claims of being controlled by drugs and suffering memory loss as completely fabricated during the trial Barrett occasionally shed tears but they appeared insincere more like a performance of remorse overall he was a cold-blooded individual after thorough deliberation Barrett was sentenced to 46 years in prison with no parole eligibility for 34 years and 6 months following the sentencing
Michelle's grief stricken mother broke down in tears in court she knew that Australia does not have the death penalty so her greatest Hope was for Barrett to be imprisoned for Life while the final outcome did not fully meet her expectations she had no other choice the lengthy trial had taken a severe toll on her physically and emotionally as she made countless trips between Sydney and chingu while enduring immense exhaustion more heartbreaking than anything were her tearful words my Michelle is gone and my life has completely Fallen apart there is no way to make up for
this with the final verdict announced the case that had shocked both China and Australia finally came to a close the perpetrator was punished but the pain of Michelle's tragic death remained as detective Gary jublin told the media outside the courthouse while the investigation and trial delivered Justice this entire case remains a tragedy indeed Michelle had worked so hard to gain admission to University to study abroad and to build a successful life yet her beautiful future just beginning was suddenly and cruy ended As Time passed and Barrett remained Behind Bars the tragedy slowly faded from public
memory however no one could have predicted that a USB drive would reignite the case and thrust it back into the media spotlight 3 years after the crime in November 2019 an elderly woman living in Chatswood just 3.7 mi from the house where Michelle was murdered somehow came into possession of a USB drive the woman had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for years rarely leaving her wheelchair or home when her daughter visited and discovered the USB drive she was shocked and had no idea where her mother could have obtained it out of curiosity she plugged the
USB into her computer what she saw left her horrified and scarred for life she immediately contacted the police and handed over the USB the police were equally appalled by the depravity it contained the USB held nine video clips totaling approximately 60 minutes and 13 horrifying photographs all of the content depicted Barrett's sadistic abuse and violation of Michelle from multiple angles he treated Michelle not as a human being but as a lifeless object mercilessly beating and assaulting her one particular video included Michelle's desperate plea you're insane what are you doing you can't treat me this way
from her tear stre face and anguished expression it was clear that she experienced unimaginable fear and pain but was powerless to escape in the end she succumbed to the devil's hands after viewing the contents of the USB the police immediately filed new charges against Barrett thousands of miles away Michelle's Mother received the devastating news which caused her to collapse once again over the the years she had lived with the pain of losing her daughter but no one could have imagined that an even greater Agony was still to come Michelle's mother said no mother in this
world could accept such horrifying news my Michelle was such a kind-hearted thoughtful filial and upright child hearing what she endured I feel as though my heart has been shattered into pieces during this time Barrett wrote an apology letter to Michelle's mother from prison but the letter was filled with empty insincere words Michelle's mother mother rejected his apology what was even more infuriating was that during his appeal process baric continued to insist that he had been controlled by drugs he even told a prison guard that he and Michelle were in a consensual romantic relationship implying that
she had willingly participated it was clear that Barrett showed no real remorse or accountability for his actions Supreme Court Justice Helen Wilson stated that had she known about the existence of the USB at the time of sentencing she would have handed down a life sentence without parole unfortunately Double Jeopardy laws prevented her from doing so now however based on the contents of the USB the police brought nine additional charges against Barrett leading to an additional 25 years in prison this new sentence however was ordered to run concurrently with his existing 46-year sentence this meant that
Barrett's total sentence duration remained unchanged but his nonp perol period was extended from 34 years to 36 years and 6 months as a result he will not be eligible for parole until October 27th 2052 Story 5 at 1:30 p.m. on August 29th the day before the incident Lea and her husband xang wenu called their parents to say they would visit Wu's father answered the phone and like any parent was overjoyed to hear that his son and daughter-in-law were coming over 3 hours later at 4:30 p.m. when wway and Lea arrived they found the iron gate
locked from the inside despite repeatedly ringing the doorbell there was no response wway began to feel uneasy just 3 hours ago his father had cheerfully answered the phone so why was the House suddenly empty at that moment he noticed a note on the door that read as the parents will be immigrating to Argentina the day after tomorrow they needed to go south today to Bid Farewell to relatives and friends we apologize for any inconvenience signed yanui to understand the characters mentioned in this note and learn more about the case let's look at the family background
the father mentioned in the note was xang shudu aged 68 he and his wife Mrs Kai had three children their eldest son who had already settled in Argentina their daughter xang Yin married to chinan who left the note and their youngest son xang wenu married to Lia who stopped the police car the xang family was a wealthy Merchant family in their early years Mr and Mrs xang started with a small barber shop in Taipei carefully saving their earnings later they boldly invested in real estate around hudong Street Fortune smiled upon them as this coincided with
Tai's Urban expansion causing the value of Mr zang's property Investments to Skyrocket within just a few years by seizing this opportunity the couple had built considerable wealth of their three children the eldest son had chosen to settle in Argentina early on following his lead their daughter and her husband yinu also established the eles in that distant country only the youngest son wway and his wife remained in Taiwan to care for his parents Mr and Mrs juang lived at 131 Hang Street which would later become the crime scene by August 1986 Mr and Mrs xang had
also decided to immigrate to Argentina to reunite with their children and enjoy their retirement their son-in-law yinu made a special trip back from Argentina to help them with immigration procedures and accompany them on their Journey learning that their parents would soon leave Taiwan for Argentina wway and his wife wanted to visit and help with the packing around 4 p.m. on August 29th they arrived at 131 a Jung street but were surprised to find the main door locked from inside there was a note on the door and oddly enough while the handwriting was indeed yunu it
stated that the parents had gone to South Taiwan to Bid Farewell to friends this made wway extremely suspicious how could his parents suddenly leave when just 3 hours ago his father had been happily talking on the phone his parents hadn't mentioned any plans to go south and had even cheerfully said they would wait for the couple to come over for afternoon tea his mother had specifically asked Lea to take the longer route through sherlin to buy her favorite pork Knuckles and steamed buns so why would she suddenly change her plans after waiting at the door
for quite a while the couple decided to find a nearby restaurant to rest during this time wway couldn't settle his mind and kept calling home hoping his parents had returned finally at 10:30 p.m. someone answered the phone but instead of his parents familiar voices it was his brother-in-law yinu on the line he hastily said only the parents haven't returned yet before hanging up abruptly the brother-in-law's strange Behavior made the couple even more uneasy they hurridly discussed returning to the house to check if anything was wrong when they arrived back at the house wway rang the
doorbell again after a while his brother-in-law appeared inappro rately dressed in just a white tank top and shorts with visible irritation he snapped why are you coming at this hour I already told you the parents aren't home the couple quickly explained they just wanted to see if they could help with anything they went upstairs and yinu didn't stop them from entering in the living room he sat down on the sofa putting his feet up on the chair Wu immediately sensed something was wrong his brother-in-law's complexion was unusual his eyes were bloodshot and he looked exhausted
more disturbing was was the smell of blood in the room and there were sticky stains on the furniture that looked like dried blood unable to contain himself wway asked what's that up there without even looking Yin immediately replied just mosquito stains Wu continued asking about his parents whereabouts did they really go south this afternoon why didn't they say anything beforehand yinu replied indifferently it was a last minute decision they specifically told me you would visit this afternoon which is why I left the note then suddenly as if unable to contain himself any longer yinu abruptly
changed the subject and began complaining about his in-laws the parents are so biased always favoring the eldest son honestly among all their sons and sons-in-law who hasn't treated them well why don't we get any share of the assets the eldest son already has plenty of money the youngest son wway was startled by this but fortunately reacted quickly going along with his brother-in-law's words actually I have issues with this too sure they can go to Argentina but why not leave me anything what good is This Old House to me my business hasn't been doing well lately
and I've wanted to borrow money from them but couldn't even bring myself to ask I sometimes wonder if they're going to Argentina just to avoid me after Wu's comments his brother-in-law became visibly excited as if he'd found an ally he continued I'm practically their son too yet they guard against me like I'm a thief you're their actual son but what good has it done you they'd rather run off to Argentina than live with with you the two men continued talking animatedly in the living room but wway knew very well in his heart his parents weren't
that kind of people he was only playing along to avoid arousing his brother-in-law's suspicions in fact from the moment he entered the house wway had noticed things were off his parents sudden departure without notice the locked door since afternoon blood stains on furniture the lingering metallic smell that wouldn't dissipate plus his brother-in-law's strange demeanor all these signs told instincts that something terrible had happened to his parents though terrified inside wiu maintained a calm exterior smiling and chatting with his brother-in-law as if everything was normal he knew he absolutely couldn't risk making his brother-in-law suspicious while
the two men were engaged in conversation wiu's wife lehua excused herself to use the bathroom what she saw there horrified her blood stains remained in the tile grout though someone had clearly tried to clean up they couldn't erase all traces of evidence moreover her in-law's bedroom door was tightly locked and the smell of blood grew stronger near the door at this point lehua was certain that a murder had taken place in the house and her in-laws had likely met a tragic fate though heartbroken Lea forced herself not to cry she understood that if she confronted
her brother-in-law now both she and her husband could be in Mortal danger she wiped away her tears composed herself and returned to the living room over the next hour she secretly traced letters on her husband's thigh with her finger to communicate fortunately the couple knew each other well enough that W understood his suspicions were correct something terrible had happened to his parents during this time brother-in-law yinu repeatedly suggested it's so hot today why don't you too take a shower by now the couple understood he might be trying to separate them to make them vulnerable so
they both politely declined and insisted on staying in the living room to chat the three of them continued like this for over 4 hours until 4:00 a.m. the next morning the brother-in-law had smoked nearly half a pack of cigarettes at this point Lea suddenly stood up pretending everything was normal and said you shouldn't smoke so much let me clean up this mess look at all these cigarette but scattered around she then started tidying up soon after she took a carefully tied garbage bag and walked toward the stairs saying she was going down to throw out
the trash Lea chose this moment because she knew garbage collectors would come around 4:00 a.m. and she had planned to ask either them or any passers by to help call the police by coincidence when she reached the street corner she saw a garbage truck slowly approaching but what she hadn't expected was that there was a police patrol car following behind the garbage truck lehua immediately dropped the garbage bag and ran to stop the police car after the police got out of their car Lea told them everything she had discovered the three officers immediately followed her
to 131 ha Jang Street and quickly went up to the the second floor in the living room Yi faced the police without showing any sign of panic remaining calmly Seated on the sofa however based on their professional instincts the three officers immediately noticed an unusual metallic smell in the house two officers began checking the upper and lower floors for anything suspicious while the third officer stayed in the living room to watch yinu meanwhile wway and lehua went to his parents master bedroom door wway kicked the door hard several times but it wouldn't budge with no
other choice he helped his wife climb through the small window into the room soon after Lea managed to open the door from inside when they entered the master bedroom they found six pieces of luggage wiu's heart was pounding as he slowly unzipped one of the bags and saw blood soaked body parts the emotions he had been suppressing suddenly erupted and he screamed in horror murder this heartwrenching scream caught the attention of all three officers they rushed over urging wway not to disturb the crime scene but then a problem arose all three officers were now in
the bedroom so who was watching the brother-in-law in the living room when two officers suddenly remembered this and rushed back to the living room the sofa was empty indeed the suspect had escaped right under their noses the police headquarters quickly received the report a large number of officers were dispatched to secure the crime scene crime scene investigators prosecutors and forensic experts arrived one after another as they opened the bag one by one they discovered the killer had methodically sorted the victim's body parts two heads in one bag for hands in another bag feet and internal
organs sorted into different bags besides the six pieces of luggage they found an array of weapons in the master bedroom including a half moon-shaped Cleaver fruit knives scissors serrated knives and other tools the initial investigation results came quickly Mr shidu was first struck in the head with a blunt object then stabbed in the chest Mrs jang's cause of death was a stab wound to the heart what puzzled the police was that the crime scene showed no signs of a violent struggle neighbors also reported hearing no unusual sounds what surprised the forensic experts was that all
body parts had been precisely cut at the joints both the weapons used and the method of dismemberment suggested the work of someone with butcher likee skills after confirmation Mr and Mrs shido's bodies had been dismembered into 32 pieces when forensic experts tried to reconstruct the remains they made a shocking Discovery Mrs jang's body was missing both her heart and liver police searched the entire building but couldn't find the missing organs however more urgent than locating the missing body parts was finding the suspect based on all available evidence everything pointed to the son-in-law yanui police used
the youngest son when hu's testimony to reconstruct the sequence of events yunu had likely killed both in-laws before 400 p.m. on the 29th then left the misleading note on the door in reality he was inside the house dismembering the bodies and cleaning the scene by 10: p.m. that evening he was still able to calmly receive his brother-in-law and his wife in the living room if the couple hadn't been so Vigilant they might have met the same fate why would a son-in-law commit such a brutal act against his in-laws initially everyone assumed Yun who must have
done it for money but when police searched the scene they found $200,000 in cash along Ong with Yin hu's ID and passport still in the house if money was the motive why weren't these valuables taken this puzzle could actually be easily explained most likely when yinu realized he had been discovered unexpectedly he fled in panic without having time to take the money Yuni was 26 when he married the eldest daughter of the xang family yuchen at the time he was a medical student when they married his father-in-law Mr Su do was very generous spending $2
million to buy them an apartment on jonga Road in the wanwa district as a wedding gift this shows how satisfied the in-laws were with him initially however no one expected that yunhui would not be content with his situation while still in medical school he suddenly became intensely interested in business as a result he dropped out of school fixated on becoming a successful businessman while the ambition to build wealth from scratch isn't wrong in itself the problem was that every time yinhu invested in something it ended in complete fa failure according to Close Associates he had
never succeeded even once although Yin hui's family was relatively well off they couldn't continue supporting his repeated business failures when he could no longer rely on resources from his own family yinu turned his attention to his father-in-law initially Mr and Mrs Sue do remain generous with their son-in-law almost always providing money whenever he asked but gradually they realized he was like a bottomless pit so they arranged for their daughter and son son-in-law to immigrate to Argentina where their eldest son had already settled they hoped that in this new environment yinu would finally conduct business seriously
and stop wasting money when he first arrived in Argentina yinu appeared to have changed through his brother-in-law's connections he fortunately secured a position at a slaughterous however this hope didn't last long soon after he quit this stable job to join a fellow immigrant in investing in an auto body repair shop the result was disastrous within just a few months all the investment Capital had vanished it wasn't until later that the jang's eldest son discovered that the money yunu had invested in the repair shop had actually come from his parents secretly supporting him again furious at
this Revelation he couldn't help but scold his parents from that point on Mr and Mrs suu finally resolved to cut off all financial support to their son-in-law still the eldest son couldn't feel at ease he worried that his parents wouldn't be able to resist Yin hu's pleading and pressure finally he suggested having his parents come live with him in Argentina with him watching over them at least they could prevent yinh from squandering away the family's assets the elderly couple agreed with this idea and decided to reunite with their eldest son in Argentina at this point
yinu suddenly returned to Taiwan without warning eagerly helping his in-laws with immigration procedures family members believed yinh hui's proactive return to Taiwan was actually targeting his father-in-law real estate properties in Taipei he calculated that since the elderly couple would be settling abroad permanently they would certainly have to sell these properties so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity however from the current outcome it's clear that yinu didn't achieve his goal that's why during the night of the murder while sitting with his brother-in-law he kept complaining about his in-law's favoritism after compiling all this background
information the police could establish that the son-in-law's motive was money they immedi imately Froze all accounts under Mr Sue du's name to prevent any assets from being transferred according to police investigation when yinu fled the scene in panic he was wearing only a tank top and shorts with no passport or money police predicted he couldn't survive on the run for more than a few days sure enough 3 days after the murder with no money and no connections yinu had no choice but to turn himself in however surprisingly he didn't choose to go to a police
station on the morning of the the third day after the murder around 8:00 a.m. Yin called the ministry of Justice identifying himself as the perpetrator of the HUD Young Street murder and requesting to the minister he explained that the case was connected to a secret Brazilian organization that wanted to destabilize Taiwan he claimed he was sent by this organization because the case was highly confidential he said he couldn't surrender at a police station fearing that if the secret leaked the organization would harm his family Yin revealed he was calling from a public phone booth next
to the Taipei first girls high school soon after the chief prosecutor of the Taipei District Prosecutors office and several high-ranking officials quickly arrived at the location and found yinu to avoid media attention the prosecutors conducted a secret interrogation of yinu during questioning he claimed he had acted on the organization's orders and mentioned an accomplice named Wong he stated that this Superior Wong was the one who actually killed his in-laws while he helped restrain and gag the victims then assisted with dismembering and bagging the bodies yinu explained that Wong knew his in-laws were wealthy and was
aware of his poor relationship with them so he planned this crime after success the organization would take a portion of the money as operational funds while these statements sound completely absurd to us now in the political context of that era the authorities couldn't dismiss them outright especially when y andu mentioned previous terrorist attacks their organization had allegedly carried out in Taiwan providing extensive details for example he mentioned a bombing at a newspaper office next to the Taipei station on April 26th 1983 though no one died 12 people were injured additionally 22 minutes before that explosion
an elevator in a building on section 4 of xong xia Road had also exploded at the time both incidents had indeed been classified as terrorist acts yinu claimed all these events were planned by their organ organization he even named specific individuals who carried out these incidents providing detailed accounts of each event however after several months of thorough investigation prosecutors began to realize yunu was likely lying while he could describe these terrorist attacks in detail these were all headline news stories from that time not secret information at all when prosecutors asked him to share information that
only organization members would know or about plans not yet executed yinu could only stand and provided no answers furthermore the supposed Superior named Wong was completely fabricated Yuni couldn't provide any full name address or age for this person finally it became clear that yinu had cleverly exploited The Authority sensitivity to conspiracy theories to mislead investigators he knew that just mentioning a secret organization would force the government to investigate thoroughly to catch all involved parties this tactic could potentially drag the investigation out for years nonetheless the prosecutors finally determined that yunhui was the sole perpetrator with
money as his simple motive they formally indicted this inhumane son-in-law at the initial trial when faced with intense questioning yinu admitted to killing his in-laws for money however he stubbornly clung to his story about the accomplice named Wong insisting he was forced to participate by a secret organization that needed money however this claim was firmly rejected by both sons of the xang family during the trial yinu requested fingerprint comparisons to prove his story but forensic experts explained that the fabric bags containing the bodies weren't suitable for collecting clear fingerprints and all the murder weapons had
been cleaned moreover since the defendant had lived in the house even if fingerprints were found he could easily explain them away given the limited forensic technology of the time and the small fingerprint database available fingerprint evidence proved useless in this case finally the judge concluded that Yin hui's statements were Fabrications meant to justify his actions and were completely unreliable he was sentenced to death however when the case reached the appeals court there was a dramatic turn the high court convicted him of continuous murder with accomplices though still maintaining the death sentence the Court ruled this
way because they believed the crime couldn't have been committed by one person alone citing three main reasons the high court cited three main reasons first both elderly victims were of large build making it nearly impossible for yinh to overpower them both alone second the murders occurred during daylight hours if he had acted alone the victims would surely have screamed for help yet neighbors heard nothing third the crime scene had been cleaned exceptionally thoroughly which seemed impossible for one person to accomplish because the appeals court judge leaned toward the multiple perpetrator Theory the prosecutor disagreed with
this ruling and appealed the case was thus sent back to the high court for retrial this inadvertently gave yinu more time in the early morning of October 21st 1987 yinu took advantage of being released for medical treatment and escaped with two other inmates when the prison guards were inattentive they used an iron bar to pry off their shackles then split up and fled in different directions this gave yanu a brief Taste of Freedom during the subsequent Manhunt police discovered that yinu had a mistress Mrs woo in Taiwan police believed that after escaping yinu would likely
seek her help following this lead police went to Mrs Woo's residence but found she had moved they left officers to monitor the location waiting to see if yinu would come looking for his mistress their patience paid off not knowing she had moved yinu arrived only to find police waiting instead of his mistress to prevent any further unexpected incidents the taipe Supreme Court sentenced yinhu to death on March 4th 1988 with immediate execution one week later at 5:30 a.m. on March 11th his life ended at the execution grounds however one question still troubled many people what
happened to the missing heart and liver initially all media Outlets only reported that the victim was missing a heart and liver it wasn't until a year later that the Press revealed that police had initially returned to the crime scene and taken an inner pot from a rice cooker as for what was in the pot official media never disclosed its contents Yin had been singularly focused on success determined to achieve his dream of wealth on the surface this seemed like the same aspiration that most hardworking people share which isn't wrong in itself
