At 6:30 am on Thursday, July 1, 1993, the Taipei Fire Department received an alarm call. Some people said that there was heavy smoke in the 6th floor of a residential building in the section of Kangning Road, and a fire might have occurred. I hope the firefighters will come to confirm. . After hanging up the phone, the staff of the Neihu District Fire Brigade drove to the scene of the incident. Sure enough, billowing black smoke continued to waft from the gaps in the closed windows on the 6th floor. However, according to nearby residents, the owner of this house was low-key and often stayed away from home. The staff called for a few times and no one answered. At the same time, the front and rear doors of the room were locked and all entrances were inaccessible. There was no way they could only drive the ladder to smash the window glass to put out the fire.
Fortunately, the fire was not particularly large. Only the side of the bedroom near the door was on fire. After 20 minutes, the firefighters put out the fire. However, due to the high temperature and the impact of the water gun, a ceiling fell off. It happened to hit the ground at the foot of the bed. It was this smash that caused a sharp-eyed fireman outside the window to suddenly find that a pair of legs leaked from a pile of scorched clothes! This shocked a few people, is there someone inside? They didn't dare to be careless, and immediately saw the anti-theft net of ventilation window with a chainsaw and entered the house. They stepped forward and found that there was indeed a female corpse under the ceiling!
This is a female body burned beyond recognition, but it is strange that the deceased was not lying on the bed but lying on the floor, but she was naked with only a bra hanging At the neck; and the body of the female corpse was piled up with all kinds of clothing, and because of this, the firefighters did not find anyone in the house at first; in addition, the lower body and head of the female corpse were all scorched, but the thighs, chest, abdomen, and arms were scorched. Intact"; the most important point is that although the appearance of the deceased cannot be distinguished, a towel was "sucked" into her mouth "coincidentally"!
All the above unreasonable signs indicate that this is not a simple fire case. The fire brigade immediately called the Neihu District Public Security Bureau.The police in the branch soon found that the owner was named Zhou Meifei, a 24-year-old Taiwanese American. At the same time, forensic officers and the famous forensic doctor Yang Risong all rushed to the house where the case occurred.
There was a strong smell of gas , and there were many flammable materials such as waste newspapers scattered in the room. There was a desk calendar on the bedside table. The date was July 1, and the blank space was also written with six ballpoint pens. The word " has a big catastrophe, be careful ", judging from the handwriting, it should be the owner of this house, Zhou Meifei, because a lot of "reminders" have been written on many dates. , Is this deceased her? What does she do? Regarding the identity of the owner Zhou Meifei, the nearby residents actually don’t know what she is. They only know that she is a rich "white rich beauty", very mysterious and low-key. She drives a red BMW, sunglasses and masks for daily travel. , dome hat is also "standard"...
Two middle-aged men ran in when the forensic staff were eager to confirm the identity of the deceased. They learned that they were China TV ( China Television ) staff, come and look for actor Zhan Rong, because the crew of "Rainbow in the Rain" hadn’t waited for the lead actor at the appointed time, so they had to send someone over to take a look, and when they learned that a young man died in the house The female queen and the two immediately determined that this person was the Zhan Rong they were looking for, a rising red flower!
Zhan Rong, a Taiwanese actress, formerly named Zhou Meifei, was born in the United States on July 21, 1969, and lived in the United States with her family before graduating from high school, but she returned to Taiwan when she was in college. I was spotted by a scout while shopping. From a young age, Zhou Meifei wanted to be a female celebrity and became the focus of everyone’s attention.How can you give up such a rare opportunity? So she returned to the United States to go through the withdrawal procedures and then returned to Taiwan alone to sign a contract under the well-known producer Lin Baichuan to officially start her star career, and even went to the Ziwei "Famous Master" to take her stage name Zhan Rong.
['s six "strange" characters on the desk calendar were indeed written by her. Perhaps Zhan Rong really counted that she would suffer a catastrophe on July 1, 1993? It's a pity that she can count but can't escape this "failure"... ]
Since entering the show business circle, Zhan Rong has been smooth sailing, and has participated in many TV dramas such as " do not see a doctor today ", " the postman rings the bell three times", " goodbye ", " four young masters in the capital ", "Mother Takes Me Marry" and the movie "Vicious Wolf", etc. Not long after entering the industry, she shined in the TV series "Four Young Men in Beijing" starring by big celebrities such as Liu Dekai, Yu Xiaofan, and Fang Fang. Through this fire, The "Golden Time" series Zhan Rong quickly came into the audience's sight and because of her pure and sweet appearance (Taiwan netizens think she looks like Teresa Teng), soon "span 4span " from the edge. "Promoted to be a female matchmaker or even a female lead,It can be said that it is a rising "Little Flower", and when the crime happened, Zhan Rong was taking over the filming of China Television's new drama "Rainbow in the Rain" as the second female, and the drama has reached the "finished" stage...
As soon as the news was exposed, all major newspapers in Taiwan Province reported the incident on the front page. Since the police could not determine whether it was a homicide at the time, many people speculated that it was suicide. Various rumors were flying in the sky. The autopsy result came out. After the autopsy, Professor Yang Risong found that Zhan Rong had multiple strangulation marks on her neck , , muscle bleeding at the strangulation , no smoke dust particles in the trachea , also showed multiple impact injuries on the back of the head , there is no doubt that this was a homicide, and the murderer's methods were extremely cruel! He first slammed Zhan Rong’s head against the floor (wall) to stun her, and then strangled her to death with a rope. Then he set fire to Zhan Rong’s lower body and face in order to cover up his evidence, because the police extracted Zhan Rong’s body. Male DNA, he probably raped Zhan Rong or had sex with Zhan Rong, and finally opened the gas can and lit the bedroom to fake suicide or accidentally confuse the police!
So who is so cruel and daring to kill a public figure? The main suspects of the police are of course the robbers and thieves who committed crimes, because they found signs of being turned over in the house, and guessed whether it was the thief who happened to meet Zhan Rong who came home because of the beautiful girl. I raped her maliciously, and then decided to kill people and destroy the corpse because of fear that the matter would be revealed?
But soon this possibility was "ruled out",There is a duck noodle restaurant just across the street from the main entrance of Zhan Rong’s house. The owner often opens until dawn. According to the owner’s memory, he first saw Zhan Rong come out of his home at 9 pm on June 30, at 2 am on July 1. Dian also saw him return to the residence alone, but the fire should be close to 6 o'clock after 5 o'clock. If a stranger enters the room, it is unlikely to stay in the house for 4 hours. At the same time, although this residential building has front and rear doors, the structure is very special. The back door is inaccessible from the outside. The outside of a thick iron door can only be opened in one direction without a keyhole, and the windows next to it are equipped with steel bars. The anti-theft net cannot be climbed. The main entrance is the duck noodle restaurant. The boss can see the door of her house when he looks up. In other words, before the duck noodle restaurant at the main entrance closes, only Zhan Rong enters the house and opens the back door from the inside. It is possible for someone to enter the house unless she opens the back door when she leaves at 9 o'clock and forgets to close it, but this is very unlikely, right? And if a stranger knocks on the back door after returning home at 2 o'clock, will she open the door and let him enter the house? Besides, if it is a stranger, she should call for help, right?
In addition, the owner of the duck noodle restaurant also mentioned a detail. When Zhan Rong came back, she ran all the way upstairs. She seemed anxious to go home and wait for something. Therefore, the police guessed whether Zhan Rong took an acquaintance and a male friend home after going out at 9 o’clock, but considering that he has become popular (of course, the owner of the duck noodle restaurant does not watch TV dramas) , took a man home late at night It's easy to be caught by paparazzi. In order to avoid people's eyes, Zhan Rong decided to go to the front door by himself and let this man go to the back door? As mentioned earlier, the back door does not have a keyhole and can only be opened from the inside. She didn't want the other party to wait too long, so she just trot all the way back to open the door?
This reasoning is actually quite correct, so the police decided to start investigating from Zhan Rong’s showbiz colleagues and male friends, and the first person they interviewed was a Hong Kong male celebrity surnamed Sun.
Why is this person? After investigating Zhan Rong’s property, the police found that she had bought a second-hand beetle car, but doesn’t Zhan Rong already have a BMW? Why buy a second-hand beetle car? So the police continued to investigate and found that the car was bought for the male star surnamed Sun. What is the relationship between buying a car for him? However, the actor explained that there is indeed such a thing,But the two are only in a better relationship. He who came from Hong Kong was not familiar with his birthplace, so he dragged Zhan Rong to help buy a scooter. Later, he also gave money. More importantly, the actor happened to be filming Jin Yong's martial arts in a certain crew on the day of the incident. In the drama, there was no time to commit the crime at all, so his suspicion was ruled out.
[ , don’t ask me who this male star is, I have already given so many tips...Hong Kong, developed in Taiwan, actor, filming of Jin Yong martial arts drama in 1993 ]
and then the police interviewed Several stylists, makeup artists, dozens of Taiwanese male stars who are closely related to Zhan Rong, and even the actresses Cui and Cheng of the crew were also interviewed, because considering the fierce competition between the actresses of the same crew, There may be conflicts... However, the suspicion of more than 50 "interviewed" subjects has been eliminated one by one. It is very possible that this murder case has nothing to do with their circle...
But if it is neither an insider nor a stranger who is not very suspicious, then who else would kill Zhan Rong? The police were also completely confused, because the firefighters had destroyed all the evidence at the scene when they were fighting the fire. The back door stairs were still open-air, and it rained the next day. No valuable clues could be found on the big iron gate in Taiwan. The Taipei police have been busy for half a year and have not made any progress.
Just in January 1994, when everyone was about to forget the case, things suddenly ushered in a turning point. During that time, the Taipei police caught Cao Aming, a tramp who brutally murdered a girl, who was suffering from severe cataracts. The pupils are so small that they can be recognized at a glance. He confessed to the police that Zhan Rong's case was done by himself after he explained his case of torturing and killing girls!
According to Cao Aming’s confession, he went to Zhan Rong’s house to steal on the night of the crime, but when he entered the house, he found Zhan Rong was back. In a hurry, Cao Aming could only choose to knock Zhan Rong out...but he suddenly remembered himself when he was about to leave. Is it a severe cataract patient? Zhan Rong saw her eyes,This is so easy to recognize. What if she calls the police when she wakes up? Wasn't that caught right away? So Cao Aming decided to kill Zhan Rong without stopping, so he found a rope to strangle her and violated her. Finally, after looting NT$1,500, he learned the methods on TV and forged an accidental fire accident. Fake...
However, his remarks are obviously full of loopholes:
- Zhan Rong went home at 2 o'clock, and the fire should be after 5 o'clock. Could it be that he was "drilled" in the house for at least 3 Hours?
- At first his confession was that he entered the house by climbing the window, but there was no place to step on under the window and it was too far from the back door stairs, not to mention the anti-theft steel bars; After
- he changed his words and said that he entered by prying the back door. However, it is even more impossible to pry the back door to enter. The fire brigade can’t pry open unless the whole is removed...
- Cao Aming is completely incompatible;
- After the court, Cao Aming himself retracted the confession, claiming that he was forced to say so by the interrogator. After half a year of careful investigation, the police also found that he could not be this one. The murderer of the case...
After doing it for a long time, it turned out to be a lie. Now the police are really gone, because there is actually a major suspect they dare not "hands on"...
at the end of 1994,The Taipei City District Procuratorate replaced new prosecutors, and they all said that "the new officer took office is three fires." The new prosecutor reviewed all the unsolved cases in the local area, but what he didn't expect was that there was a document showing that the case was in the works. Two months after the release, in September 1993, the local police used the DNA remaining in Zhan Rong's body to compare a major suspect Yan Sejong ! According to local paparazzi reports, this person is a "playboy" who has been rumored with several popular female stars, but never married. He is indeed one of Zhan Rong's "partners", such a major suspect you What else to check if you don't check it?
may really not be able to check, because he is not an ordinary person, but the leader of the so-called "Taiwan Province's five major families" (the other four are Wufeng Lin's family, Lukang Gu's family, Banqiao Lin's family, Kaohsiung Chen family) 's Keelung Yan family member, Taiyang Group's prince, and Yangli company general manager !
Keelung Yan's family originated in Keelung , Ruifang area, Taiwan Province early a minority of the famous entrepreneurs. They started from gold mine and coal mine during the period of Japanese colonial rule of . They were called "the king of charcoal". Later, they developed more keratinization business and became the "giant nothing" of the rich side of Taiwan Province. Pa" family. More importantly, it is different from other "Four Big Families",The Yan family is very keen on public welfare and has a very high reputation in the local area, So do you understand the reason? Several police officers in charge of the case were interviewed by reporters many years later when they were asked about this topic. They also hesitated and said: "If is matched, it doesn’t mean that he is the murderer? Maybe it was just that he had sex before the crime. We can’t be sure if it’s him. We can only ask him to explain the problem, but he hasn’t come ”...
So why did it come out again at this time? Isn't the new prosecutor afraid of offending people? Because at this time Yan Sejong committed the crime of financial fraud is being "wanted" by the police (actually when Yan Sejong was found out, he had already been summoned by the police for financial problems, but he never went to the police station to play "disappear" ) , and at this time he left the island a long time ago and didn’t know where to go, and the exposure was “innocent”...
Think about it, a person who has been “summoned” by the Criminal Division He dared not to arrest, and was able to leave the island smoothly even after being "wanted." So far, Taiwanese media can only use "Xiaokai Yan" as a substitute, and even people who cannot find even one photo on the entire network. How "Through the Sky"? The most outrageous thing is that the comparison was successful. In September 1993, Cao Aming's confession was in January 1994. He also accepted his testimony, opened the court, and collected half a year of evidence when he knew that there was a suspect and knew that the murderer could not be Cao Aming. …How about this play?
But is this case really the work of Yan Sejong? In fact, it can’t be said to be 100%:
first , Because DNA is severely damaged by high-temperature grilling, only one type of detection can be used. This DNA detection method is said to be in every 100 people. You can compare 5~6 matching people,The accuracy rate is not very high ;
second , What the police said is actually correct. The comparison does not necessarily prove that he did it. It may be after the two had sex. Yan Shizong left Zhan Rong and was taken advantage of by someone else?
third , The towel in Zhan Rong’s mouth is actually a big question. Why do you need a towel? There are only two situations in which towels need to be stuffed. The first is that there is no intention to kill at all, such as when a hostage is kidnapped and want to scare it, and the second is [temporarily] keeping alive to achieve a certain purpose, such as sexual assault, torture, and robbery. Ask about money. Obviously, this situation of her can only be the second possibility and it is most likely to be sexual assault or robbery, because the abuse is not obvious, and the first banging of the head is just to subdue. As mentioned earlier, Yan Shizong is Zhan Rong's "non-fixed partner". Does he need to be sexually assaulted? His family history is even more outrageous, right?
fourth , If Yan Sejong really wanted to kill, with his family background and “Tongtian” ability, it would be "zero difficulty" to let Zhan Rong disappear into the world directly, that For those who didn’t have a camera in the ages, the corpse was moved downstairs from the back door and placed in the car for someone to find a place to bury it. However, Zhan Rong’s family didn’t seem to have a particularly harmonious relationship with her. They were all in the United States. No one will care;
fifth , Yan Shizong actually wanted to explain to the police station. At the end of 1993, a police officer in charge of this case received a text message from Yan Shizong saying: " I am willing to explain Zhan Rong’s case, as long as you don’t care about it. I was arrested for my previous perfidy case ". But can the police agree to this condition? So in the end he just left...
sixth , Yan Shizong is "scum", but everyone he knows says that he treats his partner very well, and is especially gentle and affectionate to women. The kind, so everyone who knew him didn't know what reason would cause him to kill Zhan Rong to vent his anger. In fact, if the testimony of the owner of the duck noodle restaurant is accurate and the person waiting at the back door is really Yan Shizong, it can be seen that Zhan Rong should be very "excited" and the two have a good relationship.
In addition, there are many bizarre legends about Zhan Rong’s death. For example, the crew of "Rainbow in the Rain" filmed a scene in the cemetery on June 30, and there are rumors that Zhan Rong did not Carefully destroyed an unnamed tomb. The video tombstone cut out by the film crew that day was "distorted". It was for this reason that she "calculated a divination" for herself and wrote the six on the desk calendar after returning home. A word...Although I don’t believe in the "tombstone theory", those six words are indeed a bit "coincident" and too "evil". I am particularly curious whether she wrote it up on the evening of June 30 or at 7 I wrote it after I went back at 2 am on the 1st of the month?
It is a pity that this case should become a "permanent unsolved case", and all the "mysteries" will also be sealed in the archives for anyone to guess...
