On February 25th at 11 AM, Zhou Bo was finally successfully apprehended and brought to the police station.
However, when questioned, he appeared very aggrieved, claiming that Yao Hai's family circumstances were so poor that he couldn't even manage to borrow money after running through several cities.
As for the phone call he received from Yao Hai on February 8th demanding repayment, he insisted that they had never met, a statement that was corroborated.
The case fell into yet another stalemate. Where could they find a breakthrough?
In desperation, they sought out Zhang Xiaotao again, hoping to uncover more clues. Unexpectedly, something he casually mentioned turned the case around.
Previously, Yao Hai had a mobile phone, but after losing everything in gambling, he had no choice but to pawn it, leaving him with only a SIM card. Thus, he had to borrow someone else's phone to use his card. The technicians immediately restored the login device linked to the SIM card.
Indeed, a significant discovery was made.
On February 8th, he had borrowed a man's phone to make his last call. This man was identified as Yang Kuicheng, 47 years old and a local from Peng'an County. Could he be the murderer in this case? The police quickly began investigating the activities of both individuals.
Surveillance footage revealed that at 8:34 AM on February 8th, Yang Kuicheng entered an alleyway at the entrance of a garden community, followed closely by a short and stout man. It was striking how much this man resembled Yao Hai—they looked almost identical. The two then left on an electric bike.
By 8:40 AM, Yang Kuicheng took a small road heading west towards the city.
Twelve minutes later, he returned the same way and wandered aimlessly around the city before disappearing from the surveillance cameras.
Strangely enough, after that point, Yao Hai completely vanished without a trace.
At 12:40 PM on February 25th, the police successfully apprehended Yang Kuicheng. However, when interrogated, he remained tight-lipped and refused to admit anything.
Shockingly, this man brazenly claimed he didn't even know Yao Hai, even going so far as to lecture the Investigator about proper conduct.
Yang Kuicheng held his head high with defiance, though there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
After 24 hours of questioning without any admission from him, it must be said that this man had an incredibly tough exterior. The Investigator smiled slightly; it seemed that he truly did not understand what mysterious forces were at play.
Forty hours had passed in the blink of an eye. At 3 a.m. on February 26, after patient persuasion and emotional appeals, Yang Kuicheng finally shed tears of regret and could not wait to confess to the crime of murdering Yao Hai and dismembering his body.
Through his identification, the police discovered a highly decomposed head deep within a thicket, just 200 meters from Yao Hai's body.
"That, that, that location has a smell because it’s very concealed. You wouldn’t notice that kind of odor unless you went there; it’s the stench of death," an investigator said, covering his nose and suppressing his nausea.
This raises the question: what was the motive behind the killer's actions? It turned out that everything stemmed from a man's pride.
"I was very angry. I felt he was just trash in society," Yang Kuicheng said, lowering his head with a face full of remorse.
Yang Kuicheng explained that he had been unable to find work and feared his wife would look down on him, so he lied about working outside. In reality, he spent his days going to Old Square to watch people play cards.
It was there that he met Yao Hai, whom he considered a societal parasite—someone who not only often left with empty pockets after losing but also borrowed money from others, even pawning essential items like his phone.
Yang Kuicheng held a deep disdain for people without moral integrity.
However, one day, Yao Hai desperately pleaded with him, claiming he hadn’t eaten for two or three days and asked if he could borrow some money.
What Yang Kuicheng didn’t expect was that when he returned to Old Square the next day, he heard Yao Hai loudly disparaging him from a distance.
"I can get food anywhere. There are still some fools willing to lend me money."
"What do you think when you hear something like that? It made me furious," Yang Kuicheng recalled, clenching his fists as veins bulged on his forehead, still seething at the memory.
Yang Kuicheng felt as if his insides were about to explode; he had acted out of kindness only to be met with insults. This was not just an affront to his character but a trampling of his dignity. He vowed silently that Yao Hai would pay a painful price for this.
Upon learning that Yao Hai was nearly 40 and had never had a girlfriend, an idea sparked in his mind. He hurriedly approached Yao Hai with a wicked grin and said, "How about I introduce you to a beautiful woman?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Hai's eyes lit up with excitement as he drooled with joy, nodding vigorously like a jackhammer.
"Do you have no friends to play with? He said there are many beautiful women on that mountain, and we can watch the performance of that dead person." Yang Kuicheng mimicked Yao Hai's tone at the time, his face full of disdain.
Yao Hai showed great interest in the "performance," insisting that he must go with him to lure the dead person up the mountain through that means.
To avoid being monitored while going up the mountain together, Yang Kuicheng pointed out a meeting place, and they each went their separate ways. After meeting, he questioned Yao Hai, "I kindly lent you 200 yuan, why do you call me a fool?"
Yao Hai immediately denied ever saying such a thing.
Seeing that the other party was still playing dumb, Yang Kuicheng's anger flared up. He picked up a large stone and smashed it towards Yao Hai's head. With the stone raised high, his eyes filled with rage, he brought it down hard on Yao Hai.
Injured, Yao Hai refused to back down, threatening that if he didn't give him 50,000 yuan, he would call the police and have him jailed.
It must be said that Yao Hai wasn't particularly bright; how could he still dare to mention money in such a situation? Yang Kuicheng was so furious that he lost his sanity, shouting for him to shut up and go die! After committing the crime, he quickly fled home through a small path.
In the following two days, he became increasingly fearful, thinking that the matter would eventually be exposed. To confuse the police, on the evening of the second day, he took a utility knife up the mountain and severed Yao Hai's head along with his "precious part," creating a false impression of a crime of passion.
"After cutting off his head, I thought of another way; if I removed a male's part, it would often lead the police to mistakenly believe it was a crime of passion," Yang Kuicheng recounted his actions, his voice growing quieter.
Yang Kuicheng ruthlessly took action based on one sentence from a man with intellectual disabilities; this was truly insane. What awaited him would be severe punishment from the law.
Thus, the case was finally solved.
