The female college student had dismembered her mother.
Now, she was identifying the body disposal site, and as she pointed to her mother's torso, she suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, it looks so plump!"
The suitcase and the Woven Bag were the last "gifts" she had given her mother.
She was a top graduate from Law School, feigning madness in an attempt to use her knowledge to evade legal punishment.
What kind of unbearable life was hidden behind that sinister and eerie smile?
Time: March 20, 2013.
Location: Sichuan Chengdu Qingbaijiang District.
Last night, Xiao Jiang had caught a whiff of a foul odor at the construction site. Upon closer inspection, he discovered a suitcase.
Xiao Jiang thought to himself that the suitcase contained either a corpse or cash. Driven by dreams of wealth, he reached inside. Suddenly, someone "shook" his hand, startling Xiao Jiang so much that his phone automatically dialed the police.
When the Investigator arrived on the scene, they immediately began their examination. The suitcase and Woven Bag were stuffed full. A preliminary examination by forensic experts revealed nine large pieces of tissue; the suspect appeared to have some anatomical knowledge. This seemed to be merely a body disposal site. But where was the Crime Scene? And who was the Victim?
Next, let’s rewind time to a day earlier, several dozen kilometers away in Wuhou District. A young man named Luo Xiaolong rushed to Report that his mother, who had been diagnosed with cancer, had suddenly gone missing.
His mother and sister had gone to Tumor Hospital for radiation therapy a month ago. They used to call him every day, but yesterday they suddenly lost contact. Luo Xiaolong searched everywhere near Tumor Hospital but could not find any trace of his mother or sister.
After receiving Luo Xiaolong's Report, the Investigator felt this was no ordinary missing person case and immediately began an investigation.
According to Luo Xiaolong, his mother was named Li Huaqiong and his sister was Luo Xiaomin. To save money, they always stayed at a nearby Lodging House that charged 15 yuan per day whenever they visited Tumor Hospital. Investigations revealed that Li Huaqiong had undergone treatment just two days prior; later, even the doctor tried to contact her but could not reach her.
The Investigator quickly headed to the Lodging House located at South Train Station. The clean and tidy room seemed normal at first glance; however, its excessive cleanliness raised suspicions.
Who checks out leaving a room spotless? After a thorough Crime Scene Investigation, the Investigator discovered numerous splatter-type bloodstains on the walls. Another suspicious detail was that there were only blankets on the bed but no sheets. Based on past experience, the Investigator felt an ominous premonition.
According to the Lodging House owner, a guest next door had noticed something strange the night before: they saw that the gap under the door of Luo Xiaolong's mother and sister's room was blocked by sheets, which had some faint red stains on them. The guest knocked on the door but received no response—only an eerie silence.
Investigator conducted a preliminary analysis and concluded that the mother and daughter must have encountered some misfortune, but it remains uncertain whether both of them faced the same fate.
At that moment, new information emerged regarding the Qingbaijiang District Body Dump Case. Someone had reported seeing an unusual woman near the body dump site. Further DNA testing confirmed that the Victim was indeed the missing Li Huaqiong. So where could Luo Xiaomin be at this moment?
Based on the information provided by Luo Xiaolong, the police quickly located Luo Xiaomin in her rental apartment in Chengdu.
The scene that greeted them was unbelievable. A foul odor assaulted their senses, and the bedclothes were covered in grime, while bowls and chopsticks were infested with maggots. Even Investigator could hardly imagine that this was the living space of someone who had received a higher education.
After five hours of surveillance, Luo Xiaomin finally appeared. At that moment, she looked disheveled, with her hair tangled with weeds as if she had just returned from surviving in the wilderness. Her feet were caked in mud, and there were traces of blood on her clothes. Subsequent tests revealed that the blood belonged to Li Huaqiong.
However, when questioned about her mother's whereabouts, she claimed ignorance, denying ever seeing her mother or visiting any Lodging House. This raised suspicions since her image had been captured on surveillance cameras at the Lodging House.
On March 19th at 2 AM, Luo Xiaomin was seen bustling in and out, carrying a mop one moment and a bucket the next. The evidence was compelling; Luo Xiaomin was a prime suspect. Yet, despite this, she remained uncooperative during the investigation, offering nothing but silence.
What exactly was Luo Xiaomin trying to hide? Why would she harm her cancer-stricken mother?
It was discovered that Luo Xiaomin came from a rural background and had always been introverted. She attended Southwest Petroleum University Law School, and after graduating, she secured a job at a state-owned enterprise in Gansu, earning an impressive annual salary of 100,000 yuan by 2007. However, one day she abruptly resigned and returned to her hometown.
According to her brother, Luo Xiaomin claimed that she left due to an unsuitable environment and climate, expressing discomfort with various aspects of life. However, this was not the true reason for her resignation; rather, it stemmed from experiencing workplace harassment.
After returning to Sichuan, Luo Xiaomin became even more eccentric. She refused to work and transformed into a full-fledged freeloader.
“She planned to take graduate school entrance exams and wanted to find a well-off boyfriend, so it seemed like she still had aspirations and was a girl with ambitions. But whenever her mother was mentioned, her demeanor would change.”
In an effort to get through to Luo Xiaomin, the police decided to take her to the body dump site, hoping it would stir something within her conscience. However, her reaction shocked everyone present.
Even seasoned Investigators felt their hearts race upon seeing the dismembered remains; the scene was too horrific. Yet Luo Xiaomin appeared unfazed, almost relaxed—like a ghost emerging from hell.
“It was extremely brutal and horrific; seeing a living person reduced to such a state made my heart tremble. Throughout this process, we observed that she maintained a smile.”
This led Investigators to question whether Luo Xiaomin might have mental health issues; it sent chills down their spines. However, both her brother and classmates insisted that there were no signs of mental instability in her.
“If I were abnormal, could I have gotten into university? Could I have landed a job with nearly 100,000 yuan in salary?”
“ Luo Xiaomin, as a classmate, is generally very honest—somewhat introverted and a bit reclusive—but it's hard for us to believe she could commit such acts.”
Soon, Luo Xiaomin's mental evaluation report was released, indicating that her mental state was normal, but her psychology was distorted. When the Investigator read the report to her, she pretended to be insane again, writing down "Suspect refuses to sign," and this time her handwriting looked as if a crab had scrawled it.
To help Luo Xiaomin open up, the police sought out her most respected uncle. Since childhood, Luo Xiaomin had admired her uncle and looked up to him as a role model.
Starting from high school, Luo Xiaomin had been living at her uncle's house. Initially, she continued to act deranged, but her uncle patiently tried to reason with her and even shared a funny story from her childhood. Eventually, Luo Xiaomin's emotions shifted, and she confessed her criminal actions to him.
"There was a dispute between her and her mother when her mother wanted to take her back to their small county. She wanted to stay in Chengdu."
"She felt that it was hard-earned progress in the big city of Chengdu, so she was determined not to go back. During the argument with her mother over this matter, she stabbed her mother with a fruit knife."
Afterward, Luo Xiaomin stuffed a quilt into the door crack, which was what the neighboring tenant saw. However, the tenant could never have imagined that a tragic scene was unfolding inside that room.
Luo Xiaomin was skilled with the knife; devoid of humanity, she cruelly dismembered her mother into nine large pieces, placing them into suitcases and a woven bag.
According to Luo Xiaomin's account, three days after the incident, she took the body parts out of the Lodging House through a blind spot in the surveillance cameras. Due to the narrow alleyway where taxis couldn't enter, Luo Xiaomin called for a cargo tricycle and then hailed a taxi to find a place to dispose of the remains—an unimaginable tragedy.
As for the possibility of facing a death sentence commuted to life imprisonment, Luo Xiaomin displayed an infuriating expression. In reality, Li Huaqiong suffered from a relatively mild tumor that could be treated with proper care.
How we wish that Luo Xiaomin truly had mental issues that led her to commit such heinous and appalling acts.
So regarding the outcome of life imprisonment commuted from death penalty, are people satisfied?
