A morally questionable couple sneaked out for a date, only to unexpectedly encounter a few little demons.
Initially, they only sought to gain some benefits, but the two became miserly hoarders, unwilling to part with their wealth even at the cost of their lives.
In the end, the woman was brutally assaulted and killed by several assailants, her body buried in a pit. The man was handcuffed and tied to a tree, his mouth and nose sealed with tape, his body marked with wounds from blunt force trauma, his face contorted in agony, leaving him in a horrific state of death.
As the investigation progressed, the police received reports of another missing person case. Was there a connection between this corpse and the murder that took place in the woods?
Incident Occurrence Location: Yunnan Province, Wenshan City.
Incident Occurrence Date: November 3, 2011.
*
On the morning of November 3, 2011, Lao Yang, a forest ranger working in the Toutangba Forest Park, began his daily patrol.
As he cheerfully sang "The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountains," he suddenly noticed what appeared to be a person sitting under a tree. He thought it couldn't be a wild man, but who would sleep in the woods?
Curious, he approached for a closer look and was horrified to discover a bloodied man lying dead in the forest. This sight shocked Lao Yang so much that he felt as if he had turned into Xiao Yang.
After calming down slightly, Xiao Yang immediately called the police.
The officers arrived promptly at the scene to conduct an investigation.
Through initial examination, they determined that the deceased was a male, approximately 40 years old. He had been handcuffed and tied to a large tree, his face grotesque from apparent torture endured before death.
His mouth and nose were taped shut, and there was a gaping wound on his head where he had been struck. His body bore numerous marks from being beaten with blunt objects, some areas even raw and bleeding.
Not far from the discovered body, the police also found a burned van, alongside several pairs of gloves.
Based on the investigation of the scene and the experience of the police, it appeared that these cases were committed by a gang, with a level of brutality that was hard to imagine.
Although there were many physical pieces of evidence at the scene, none could confirm the identity of the deceased. Since the victim could not provide any information, the police had no choice but to investigate his identity first.
However, what puzzled the police was that while typical murderers would use ropes to restrain their victims, in this case, handcuffs were used instead.
This raised questions for the police: Did the murderer have some peculiar preferences? Was there a connection to law enforcement or someone involved in police work?
To solve the case quickly, one team of officers conducted interviews in nearby villages, while another checked with the police station for any reports of missing handcuffs. Despite extensive investigations, no valuable clues were found, and the case fell into a stalemate.
Just as the officers were feeling frustrated, a woman arrived at the police station to report her husband, Jiang, had mysteriously disappeared after a business trip. The police then showed her photos of the deceased taken at the scene. Upon confirmation, she identified the body as her husband Jiang.
Through extensive investigation, it was discovered that Jiang had been involved in an affair with a woman named Sun in Wenshan. Sun had been divorced for ten years and was 29 years old.
Sun met Jiang while working at his factory, and they had maintained their illicit relationship for about four years.
When the police arrived at Sun's home, her family reported that they hadn't seen her for several days.
Like Jiang, Sun also went missing on October 31st, which clearly made her a prime suspect.
“She left just as it was getting dark and hasn’t come back since. I couldn’t reach her by phone because she’s always been reckless and has a penchant for associating with wealthy individuals,” her family explained.
Moreover, if she wasn’t the murderer, she certainly knew about the victim's last whereabouts. The police speculated whether Sun might have had another affair; perhaps when Jiang discovered this during an argument, Sun conspired with someone else to kill him.
During the autopsy conducted by the forensic team, a curled strand of hair was discovered at the corner of Jiang's mouth. DNA testing revealed that this hair belonged to Sun.
This clue suggested that Jiang had intimate contact with Sun before his death.
The police speculated that perhaps due to relationship issues, Sun had lured Jiang to a grove and, in collusion with others, murdered him.
At that moment, Jiang's wife provided the police with an important lead. She mentioned that Jiang had left home driving their black sedan, and now that he was deceased, the car's whereabouts were unknown.
Using the license plate number provided by Jiang's wife, the police reviewed surveillance footage along the route. On October 31st, Jiang's vehicle was seen passing through a highway toll booth before arriving in Kunming City, after which it vanished.
To further investigate the vehicle's movements, the police needed to conduct additional inquiries.
Moreover, what about the burned van found near the incident site? Since Jiang was not driving that van, who was the owner? Why would they set it on fire? The police felt there must be significant clues hidden within this situation.
While the investigation was underway, the Wenshan City Public Security Bureau received another emergency call.
Caller Yang reported that her husband Wu had mysteriously disappeared after going to a KTV with colleagues on the night of November 9th. He had gone to the restroom and never returned.
Yang stated that her husband was usually honest and straightforward, never getting into conflicts or holding grudges, and there were no issues regarding his lifestyle.
So why did Wu suddenly go missing? Was he alive or dead?
Upon arriving at the KTV, the police reviewed surveillance footage and found that at 11 PM that night, Wu exited the restroom and left with two men, subsequently entering a blind spot of the cameras.
From staff at the KTV, they learned that a guest had been called by two men to move their car; after that, the staff were unclear about what happened next.
The police checked Wu's account information and found that on the night he disappeared, Wu had withdrawn 20,000 yuan from his bank card in a bank, and then went to another bank to withdraw the remaining 30,000 yuan. When the police checked the bank's surveillance footage, they found that the person withdrawing money was disguised very well and kept looking around. More importantly, the man wiped off the fingerprints on the ATM when he withdrew the money and left. Through various abnormal signs, the police felt that Wu should have been controlled by someone. The police carefully observed the suspect's physical characteristics and found that the suspect had a scar on his face. Then the police took the suspect's photo and started to visit. Soon the police found an important clue. The police learned from a supermarket that the suspect said that the suspect looked very similar to a man in a car repair shop next to his house, and that the man had the same scar on his face as the suspect. The police learned that on the day Wu disappeared, he drove a Toyota SUV. Through investigation, the SUV disappeared after entering Kunming. But the police also noticed that the direction and time of the vehicle driven by Wu and Jiang were very similar. Both were heading towards Kunming. Are the two cases related? As the police continued to investigate, the owner of the supermarket called the police. The supermarket owner said that the young man with scars on his face was playing cards in the repair shop next to him, and the police immediately came to the scene to arrest him. As soon as they entered the yard, the four young men began to run around frantically. "After we entered the repair shop, we found that there were four men, probably in their 20s, playing poker on the table. As soon as we entered, the four men threw away the poker cards and ran away at the door. They ran desperately." But the police did not give them a chance to escape. They were soon taken to the police station for investigation. After interrogation, the police identified three suspects among the four.
According to their confession, on the evening of October 31st at 7 PM, the three of them were bored and decided to drive around, hoping to make some quick money. It wasn't long before they encountered Jiang's vehicle, and they quickly hatched a plan to rob him. They overtook Jiang's car and stopped in front of it.
Faced with the sudden obstruction, Jiang accidentally crashed into their vehicle. The three then deceived Jiang and Sun into getting out of their car under the pretense of a rear-end collision.
Once outside, they swiftly subdued both of them and forced them into a van, using handcuffs brought by one of the assailants to restrain Jiang.
They drove to a secluded grove where they tied Jiang to a tree.
The trio then pressured both victims to reveal their bank card passwords. However, Jiang refused to divulge any information, valuing his life over his money. Frustrated, the three began to beat Jiang and then, in front of him, assaulted Sun until he was dead.
Seeing that Jiang still wouldn't talk, they brutally killed him as well.
Afterward, they loaded Sun's body into the van and found a remote location nearby to dispose of it. To eliminate any evidence left in the van, they set it on fire.
They then drove away in Jiang's car.
After murdering the two, they did not stop. Upon arriving in Wenshan, they lured Wu out from a KTV under the pretense of needing to move his car. They subsequently kidnapped him and forced him to reveal his bank card password before killing him as well.
With the trio's guidance, the police eventually located the bodies of Sun and Wu.
What was shocking was that despite their average age being just over 20 years old, they did not seem like first-time offenders; otherwise, they wouldn't have been equipped with handcuffs, tape, steel pipes, and other tools for committing crimes.
