Beast! This is truly a beastly act; a demonic father has killed his own son with his own hands, and afterward, he took a photo and sent it to his wife who was working away, hoping to alleviate his inner dissatisfaction. Yet the reason behind his actions stemmed solely from his own suspicions and delusions.
Isn't such a person a beast?
However, before this tragedy, Li Laikang seemed to have foreseen the future, as he had already sent away his eldest son, saving little Jie’s life.
Could it be that he knew his enemies were coming for him? But why didn’t he send Xiao Gui away as well?
Who could possibly target this man with two children? Could it be related to his wife? Yet these were merely speculations from the police.
Subsequently, the officers began investigating the surrounding area, but none of the neighbors reported hearing anything unusual coming from Li Laikang's home. They then visited all local medical institutions but found no leads.
The whereabouts of the Li family remained unknown to the police. However, after reviewing all surveillance footage from around the Li residence, they finally discovered a clue.
The surveillance video showed that around 7:30 PM that evening, a man carrying a woven bag was seen leaving the direction of Li's house, and the bag appeared to contain something of considerable weight. Two minutes later, this man was spotted outside the local primary school, staggering forward in the dim light.
At 7:40 PM, he passed by a recycling station where there were hardly any people except for a few trucks passing by.
"He walked through very secluded areas. Look here, at around 7:14 PM, this man was near Malong River’s vicinity. Twenty minutes later, he arrived at Hongyan Gas Station in Tangjia Town."
"After killing this child, guess who it is? Actually, this child isn’t mine?"
Li Laikang said that although Xiao Gui was not his biological child, for the past three years he had treated Xiao Gui as his own, caring for him deeply.
Xiao Gui was very well-behaved and understanding; despite being only three years old, he already knew to share delicious food with family. Remembering his son's goodness brought a gentle smile to Li Laikang's face.
In the three years since Xiao Gui's birth, he had brought laughter and warmth to this family, which did not vanish with his passing.
However, what puzzled the police was that since Li Laikang had long suspected that Xiao Gui was not his biological son, why did he willingly care for the child for three whole years?
More importantly, was Xiao Gui really not Li Laikang's son? How could Li Laikang be so certain?
It turned out that Li Laikang had experienced a failed marriage. Nine years ago, he divorced his ex-wife due to irreconcilable differences, and their son, Xiao Jie, was placed in Li Laikang's custody. By chance, Li Laikang met Ms. Cai, who was three years younger than him.
Ms. Cai's husband had also passed away many years ago, and she was raising two children at her in-laws' home.
Li Laikang found Ms. Cai beautiful and kind-hearted. Most importantly, he felt completely at ease with her; they shared similar interests and thoughts. Whenever he was about to express something, Ms. Cai could often guess what he meant.
Like all couples in love, they cherished their hard-won relationship from the very beginning. Soon enough, they began living together and referred to each other as husband and wife. Li Laikang remarked that he had never dared to dream of such a warm family life with a wife and children before.
Afterward, he worked tirelessly on various construction sites to earn money, and the years passed quickly. By the end of 2012, Ms. Cai went to Fujian to work in order to support the family.
However, just a month later, Ms. Cai called Li Laikang to tell him that she was pregnant. Normally, such news would excite a husband; however, upon hearing this, Li Laikang felt no joy at all. Instead, he repeatedly told Ms. Cai that they could not keep the child.
Li Laikang and Ms. Cai were both remarried individuals with children from previous relationships. He believed it was enough to raise his existing child; however, Ms. Cai could not understand his reasoning.
After being together for four or five years, finally having a child together should have been a joyous occasion—why would they want to abandon this new life?
While Li Laikang remained silent on the surface, deep down he knew all too well that this child could not possibly be his. This suspicion stemmed from an injury he sustained while working on a construction site; since then, he had doubted his own fertility.
Having been with Ms. Cai for so many years without having any children only reinforced Li Laikang's belief that he was incapable of fatherhood. The fact that his wife announced her pregnancy just a month after leaving seemed too strange and suspicious. Yet Ms. Cai had no intention of terminating the pregnancy.
Li Laikang felt that both he and the child would face embarrassment in the future; however, he had never sought medical advice regarding his injury nor questioned Ms. Cai about whether she might have been unfaithful. Instead, he buried his own insecurities deep within himself.
After pretending to be deaf and mute, Xiao Gui was born. Li Laikang had made up his mind to treat Xiao Gui as his own son. He bought various toys and snacks, doing everything he could to pamper Xiao Gui.
However, this was truly difficult. No matter how well Li Laikang treated Xiao Gui or how obedient and sensible Xiao Gui was, the thought that Xiao Gui was not his biological child would trigger Li Laikang's sensitive nerves, making it unbearable for his already tiny heart.
From then on, whenever his wife didn't answer her phone or reply to his messages promptly, Li Laikang would feel that she was out with other men, neglecting her nominal husband and this unidentified son back home.
Thus, the resentment in Li Laikang's heart grew day by day, along with thoughts of revenge.
On the afternoon of the incident, Li Laikang repeatedly pleaded with his wife to come home. At the moment he was rejected, a surge of anger welled up inside him like a thorn in his throat—he couldn't spit it out or swallow it down.
"Since he's not my biological son, I feel like I don't care anymore and can't manage it anyway. I just want to kill Xiao Gui."
Having made up his mind, the deranged Li Laikang committed the most brutal act imaginable—he killed the three-year-old Xiao Gui with his own hands. Afterwards, he stabbed himself in the abdomen and took several photos to send to Ms. Cai, who was miles away.
Li Laikang initially intended to drown himself but did not succeed. When he reached the shore, he found many people at his home and quickly fled.
Later, the police conducted a paternity test on Xiao Gui, confirming that he was indeed Li Laikang's biological son.
Upon hearing this news, Li Laikang could hardly believe his ears. He kept telling the officers that it wasn't true, desperately trying to escape the reality that he had killed his own son.
Thus, this case was successfully solved by the police.
