After this case happened, Huaicheng police reported it to the provincial government immediately because an almost identical case occurred last summer.
Zhao Feier, 23, a recent graduate of Huaicheng University, is from Tong County, the capital of Hunan Province. My parents are both in my hometown and our family is poor. Zhao Feier has an ordinary appearance and a cheerful personality. After graduation, she has not found a formal job and works part-time in a milk tea shop.
Like Liu Yisha, Zhao Feier also rents a house in the "slums" near the school. The straight-line distance between the two persons’ residences shall not exceed 2 kilometers.
On the summer night that Zhao Feier disappeared, she was returning home from her night shift at a milk tea shop. Since my workplace was far away, it was already past one in the morning when I got off the bus. She needs to walk about 1.5 kilometers to get home.
The next day, Zhao Feier did not go to work. The milk tea shop couldn't contact her.
On the third day, she still didn't come to work. Colleagues at the milk tea shop called the police.
Three days later, her body was found by villagers on a remote hillside in the countryside. Zhao Feier was placed in a similar 20-inch black box, completely naked, with broken joints, and she was folded into the same neat and deformed shape.
The fatal injuries were all blunt force trauma to the head, resulting in skull fractures. Severe sexual assault. The bodies were cleaned in a consistent and thorough manner, leaving no fingerprints or DNA behind.
But the murderer a year ago seemed to be more careless. The forensic personnel extracted a valid fingerprint from the inside of the box handle.
However, no match was found in the fingerprint database maintained by the police.
The police believe that it was on that short 1.5-kilometer road that Zhao Feier was taken away by the murderer. They even got hold of a valuable fingerprint. But the murderer could not be found. The final location of Zhao Feier's phone was found in a trash can in a downtown area, so there was no way to determine the exact place and time of her disappearance.
The Huaicheng police were very nervous at one point because they had basically ruled out various possibilities such as revenge killings and love killings. They had reason to believe that the murderer was a stranger and his methods were so cruel and perverted. Police are concerned there may be a second body.
However, as time passed, the murderer disappeared and no new victims appeared.
Until today, one year later.
——
Like many third- and fourth-tier cities, Huaicheng's city center has a bright and positive appearance. Commercial housing is rising everywhere, and there is no shortage of central gardens covered with green plants and filled with square dancing. Slogans of "developing tourism" and "creating civilization" can be seen everywhere on the streets.
After peeling off this layer of skin and walking further in, we gradually approached the area where the two victims rented their homes. The house began to become short, old and dirty. The buildings are densely packed together, of varying heights, and their architectural styles are mostly monotonous and rigid, reflecting the poverty and impatience of that era.
The roads are also messy, some are wide, some are narrow, and they are intertwined, but they are all dirty. There are all kinds of shops: convenience stores, flower shops, milk tea shops, fruit shops... as well as vegetable markets, residential areas, street offices, primary schools... all mixed together in no particular order. There are also patches of shanty towns scattered among them.
This is an area with the highest population density and the most chaotic living conditions in the city, but it is also the most primitive and lively place.
You Mingxu and Xu Mengshan drove to the downstairs of Liu Yisha's house. Yin Feng, who was half of their own people, naturally followed.
This is a 5-story building, which used to be a dormitory for a certain unit and is now a rental house. Each floor is densely packed with windows and doors, and the corridors are filled with sundries and clothes hanging out to dry. You Mingxu frowned: If the fire department comes here, this will definitely not be qualified. But this is the only way for the "ant layer" in the city to survive.
It is far better to live insecurely than to live nowhere.
The three of them went up the spiral staircase on one side. You Mingxu stood on the stairs and looked back. There were too many crowded buildings and too many windows around him. If there was ever a pair of eyes that spied on Liu Yisha, there would be no way to find them.
The staircase in the old building was very narrow, and there were many broken steps. Yin Feng looked around and suddenly stepped on a gap in the staircase, causing his body to tilt. You Mingxu was behind him and quickly grabbed his waist. But the guy was too heavy, and they both crashed into the railing. The railings were also in tatters, which made You Mingxu break out in a cold sweat. Yin Feng also reacted reflexively. Feeling that his body was losing balance, he pulled You Mingxu into his arms to protect him.
After they hit the railing, she put her arms around his waist and he hugged her tightly. They were both silent for a moment. You Mingxu smelled the scent of shower gel in his arms. The familiar feeling brought by the man's tall body made her suddenly recall the scene of the two of them kissing wildly a few days ago.
"Are you okay Ash?" he asked softly.
"It's okay." You Mingxu broke free from his arms and continued walking up with a calm expression. Then I heard him mumbling to himself behind my back: "It doesn't matter if he's handsome."
You Mingxu had a blank expression on his face. For some reason I felt a little unhappy.
They arrived at Liu Yisha's door.
This is a unit on the fifth floor, and it should be the cheapest one. The door was sealed and a policeman was on duty. When the three of them went in, they saw a room with a toilet that was no more than 15 square meters. White walls and cement floors, a small bed, a table, a wardrobe and two chairs.
Although everything in the house was simple and cheap, it was kept clean and tidy. The clothes are neatly folded in the closet, and the toothbrushes, toothpaste and towels are all laid out. There are several books on the table, including two romance novels, "Introduction to E-commerce", "Super V Teaches You How to Open an Online Store", and "The Secret to Earning a Million Per Year on Taobao".
You Mingxu picked up the book, flipped through it, looked at Xu Mengshan, and put it down.
After preliminary investigation, they also had a basic understanding of Liu Yisha. Compared with the first victim, Zhao Feier, Liu Yisha's appearance is relatively more outstanding, but she is also more introverted and weak. According to teachers and classmates, Liu Yisha's academic performance and abilities are not outstanding, and she has no ambition to improve herself. But he is also an honest man. Her family was very poor, so her life had always been hard and difficult.
She once had a boyfriend who was one grade higher than her, but the campus romance ended because her boyfriend moved to another place after graduation. After graduation, Liu Yisha had even less contact with her classmates, and almost no one knew what she was doing now.
Of course, she also has one or two close friends. They said that Liu Yisha had mentioned that she wanted to open an online store to sell clothes. However, start-up capital has always been a problem. So there was no action.
The small house, like Liu Yisha’s short life, can be seen in just a few glances. You Mingxu ran to the railing outside the building to smoke. She was thinking about a question: How did Liu Yisha disappear? ?
According to a close friend, Liu Yisha last spoke to her on the phone five days ago. A neighbor last saw Liu Yisha in the evening four days ago. Her time of death has been determined to be between 2 and 3 a.m. two days ago. In other words, she disappeared and was killed four days ago - between the evening of the 7th and the 9th.
