The husband purchased more than a dozen insurance policies for his wife within a few months, with the insurance amount reaching 20 to 30 million. He set the beneficiary after his wife’s death as himself, and then took his wife on a trip and brought her with him. He went to a very private villa hotel in Phuket, Thailand, and brutally murdered her. He then faked the scene and lied to his parents-in-law that his wife had drowned. This kind of plot only appears in TV dramas. Xiaojie's father never dreamed that one day it would happen to him. He couldn't believe that his seemingly honest and honest son-in-law Zhang Yifan could be so vicious. The autopsy report showed that his daughter was likely to have died before she died. He suffered severe violence, resulting in multiple traumas, broken ribs and a torn liver.
After the incident, Xiaojie's family began to investigate Zhang Yifan's previous whereabouts, and found that Zhang Yifan had been telling lies for a long time after the marriage. The whereabouts of more than one million yuan in property in the family was unknown, and he was likely to have cheated on her.
Not only Xiaojie's parents didn't know about these things, but Zhang Yifan's parents didn't know either. They originally thought that Xiaojie and Zhang Yifan were a happy couple.
One day after his daughter’s death, her in-laws informed her of her death.
In the second half of this year, Xiaojie’s father learned from her in-laws that their daughter and son-in-law planned to go to the Maldives. The in-laws hoped that he would help persuade the young couple not to go abroad. After all, their granddaughter xiaoxiao was only 20 months old. It is too big to withstand the bumps of the journey. Xiaojie's mother suggested that her daughter and son-in-law travel to Hainan. The two had agreed, but a few days later they told the old man that they had booked a free trip to Phuket, Thailand.
Seeing that the children had already planned their itinerary, Xiaojie’s parents no longer stopped them. The day before departure, the two old men sent delicious meals to their daughter and son-in-law, leaving 10,000 yuan for travel expenses, and told them to take good care of their children. , return safely.
On the evening of October 27, Zhang Yifan took his wife and daughter from Tianjin Binhai International Airport. Before boarding the plane, both of them sent their parents a video of Xiaojie at the airport. Looking at their granddaughter’s smiling face, Xiaojie’s parents were very happy.
At around 4 pm on October 30, Zhang Yifan’s father called Xiaojie’s father and said that something had happened to Xiaojie and asked them to come. "As soon as I entered the door, his parents knelt down for us. They said that Xiaojie drowned while swimming on the 29th." Xiaojie's father said that after hearing the news, Xiaojie's mother collapsed to the ground before she could even enter the door. The four old people cried together.
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Xiaojie's father, who had calmed down a little, called his son-in-law. "I asked him how Xiaojie died. He said that after the child went to bed at night, Xiaojie asked to go swimming in the swimming pool outside the room. After a while, Xiaojie was worried about the child and asked him to go and have a look. He watched the child fall asleep unconsciously. When he woke up, he found it was raining outside. He called Xiaojie but no one agreed. Then he found that Xiaojie was floating in the pool. , he pulled Xiaojie to the swimming pool, and then called the front desk to call an ambulance. "
The deceased died in this swimming pool
After listening to his son-in-law's story, Xiaojie's father asked his son-in-law how big and deep the swimming pool was and whether there could be anyone around the swimming pool. When asked about coming in, whether there were cameras around the swimming pool, and whether Xiaojie had any injuries on her body, etc., the son-in-law answered the first few questions more simply. He told his father-in-law that the swimming pool was only as big as a room and the water could reach his ears (Zhang Yifan (Height 1.8 meters), no one could enter around the swimming pool, and there were no cameras. Except for the last question, he hesitated for a long time and did not answer. Xiaojie's father felt that his son-in-law hesitated on the phone for a full minute. When he couldn't get an answer, he was so anxious that he added "Tell the truth!", and then the son-in-law replied "No trauma."
Zhang Yifan's voice was very calm on the phone, but after hanging up the phone, a cloud of doubt rose in Xiaojie's father's heart.
When the son-in-law returns to China, he becomes even more suspicious.
Xiaojie's father's suspicion comes from the cause of his daughter's death. Xiaojie can swim and has good water skills. Xiaojie's third uncle raised more questions about what happened: "My niece cares about the child very much. It is impossible to leave the child alone. She took her husband to go swimming. Even if she went, she would not let Zhang Yifan go see the child." , she could only go in person or together, and besides, my niece can swim. Finally, and most importantly, why did Zhang Yifan report the news to his family only one day after the incident, and not directly call his father-in-law and mother-in-law.According to common sense, if such a big thing happens abroad, the right thing to do is to call the parents immediately after calling the police. "
In the early morning of October 31, Zhang Yifan took his daughter back to China. At around 9 a.m., he and his father came to his father-in-law's house. As soon as they entered the door, they knelt down and kowtowed. Xiaojie's father asked his son-in-law why he did not report the incident to his family until one day after the incident. Zhang Yifan He said that he had been taking notes at the police station and left at dawn. During this period, he did not bring his mobile phone with him. When Xiaojie's parents proposed to return to Thailand immediately to arrange for their daughter's funeral, Zhang Yifan said that his parents-in-law needed to first issue a document proving their paternity with Xiaojie. Only a notarized certificate of relationship can be used to dispose of the body. Zhang Yifan inquired about the procedures for collecting the body so clearly, which surprised Xiaojie's family.
At noon that day, Zhang Yifan had dinner at his parents-in-law's house. Xiaojie's mother remembered that Zhang Yifan had a good appetite that day and ate a lot. After the meal, he said he was going out to do some errands and returned to his mother-in-law's house around 4:30 p.m. In his and Xiaojie's bedroom, Xiaojie's third uncle accompanied him to sign some formalities when Xiaojie's third uncle suddenly signed the document. It was discovered that there was a deep gash in Zhang Yifan's right hand. "I asked him how he got the wound. He put down his pen and was silent for a few seconds. He whispered that it was Xiaojie who scratched it. I asked, ‘Did you two fight? ’ He said, ‘No,’ and I asked, ‘Are there any injuries on Xiaojie’s body? ’ He said, ‘There is something wrong with the neck’. I asked them why they were quarreling, and he said that Xiaojie thought the hotel I booked was too expensive. At that moment, I became more suspicious of him. Xiaojie was a child who had no idea about money. She would not quarrel with her husband over such a thing. "
At 11:30 pm on the 31st, Xiaojie's parents, accompanied by Xiaojie's third uncle and five other relatives and friends, set off for Phuket, Thailand, with their son-in-law. The luggage contained a shroud for their daughter.
Arriving in Phuket in the early morning of November 1st Finally, Xiaojie's third uncle found an opportunity to avoid Xiaojie's father, his wife, and Zhang Yifan, and expressed his suspicions to others, "I said that I think Zhang Yifan probably killed Xiaojie, so everyone should keep an eye on Zhang Yifan and not dare to Let my second brother and his wife know because they are afraid that they will lose control of their emotions and alert others. "
When the hotel allocated rooms, Uncle Xiaojie assigned Zhang Yifan to his own room. Zhang Yifan entered the room, put down his things and went out immediately. Then someone called him, saying that Zhang Yifan rushed into his parents-in-law's room and locked the door. When Uncle Jie rushed outside his brother-in-law's room, he heard his second sister-in-law crying inside: "It's no use! Useless! No amount of money can buy my child! "
At this moment, Xiaojie's third uncle had determined that Zhang Yifan was the murderer. In order to prevent Zhang Yifan from committing suicide in fear of crime, he quickly changed the room originally on the 7th floor to the 2nd floor and told everyone to hold Zhang Yifan steady.
Before identifying the body, he said 17 million insurance The body was bruised and bruised, and the nails were broken.
Xiaojie’s father told reporters that Zhang Yifan knelt down after entering their room. He confessed to his parents-in-law that he had beaten his wife, but denied killing her, and then mentioned insurance, "Zhang Yifan said, Let grandma watch the child from now on. His father is not in good health and his mother is not suitable to watch. He also said that his father scolded him for being crazy about money. He said he would not go back and stayed with Xiaojie in Phuket. He said he bought 17 million Insurance, let us use the money to raise Xiaoxiao. "
The insured amount of 17 million did not cause the slightest ripple in the hearts of Xiaojie's father and his wife. On the contrary, Zhang Yifan's words after locking the door and kneeling down made Xiaojie's father also begin to suspect that his daughter had died at the hands of his son-in-law.
After dawn, a group of people When they went to Badong Hospital, the moment the body bag was opened, Xiaojie's father understood everything.
There were many obvious traumas on his daughter's body, and there were large bruises on her right ribs. What was even more terrible was that Xiaojie's many fingers were injured. The nails were broken, and Xiaojie's father couldn't figure out what his daughter, who had been gentle since childhood, had gone through to become like this.
There were large bruises on the body.
Xiaojie's mother was completely out of control while holding her daughter's body. She shouted no. Let anyone get close, and then say to your daughter over and over again, "Mom, kiss, mom, hug, why did you leave and never come back." "When everyone burst into tears, Xiaojie's third uncle still did not relax his vigilance against Zhang Yifan. He saw Zhang Yifan also lying at Xiaojie's feet and shedding tears.
After identifying the body, Xiaojie's third uncle said to Zhang Yifan that they should Go to the police station to report the crime and file a claim with the hotel. Zhang Yifan agreed.At around 2 pm on November 1st, Thailand time, a group of people came to the Kamala Police Station where the hotel is located to report the incident. The police took notes for Zhang Yifan and Xiaojie’s mother. After completing the notes, Xiaojie’s mother came out and Zhang Yifan was detained. .
confessed to killing his wife in the early morning because he "didn't want to live in this life"
More than an hour later, Zhang Yifan, who had stripped off his upper body, was taken into a glass room by the police. Only then did Xiaojie's family see clearly that Zhang Yifan's right arm was covered with wounds. . Half an hour later, Zhang Yifan followed the police out of the glass room. Xiaojie's third uncle asked him where he was going. Zhang Yifan said to Xiaojie's father, "Dad, the police and I are going to Xiaojie Hospital."
Since the incident, Zhang Yifan has always expressed He was very calm, but looking at Zhang Yifan's face at that moment, Uncle Xiaojie doubted himself for the first time, "I thought, isn't he the murderer? Otherwise, why would he be so calm?"
In the evening, Zhang Yifan was taken back to the police station, many The police also came to Kamala Police Station one after another. Uncle Xiaojie’s friends in Thailand told him that the Thai police have a very detailed division of labor and are responsible for different fields, but they all came for this case, including many high-ranking police officers. , which shows the great impact of the case. The police told the family of the deceased that they had already suspected Zhang Yifan after the hotel called the police that day, but when they looked for him again, he had already returned to China.
The interrogation process lasted for several hours. During this period, Xiaojie's father went to the interrogation room twice to inquire about information. "The room was about twenty or thirty square meters. There was a large long table in the middle. There was a row of coffee on the table. There was a large room of police interrogation rooms." He is alone." He looked at Zhang Yifan again, "It's still the same."
At about 0:40 on November 2, Thailand time, the police suddenly shouted to the family of the deceased: "He admitted it! "Hear this! News, Xiaojie's parents rushed to the interrogation room crying. Zhang Yifan, who had confessed to the crime, remained expressionless. Xiaojie's father asked him: "Why did you kill Xiaojie?" Zhang Yifan replied: "I don't want to let it go." Xiaojie's mother asked: "I divorced if I didn't want to let it go! Why did you kill me?" Xiaojie!" Zhang Yifan did not answer.
The autopsy report restores the incident
On November 3, Xiaojie’s family went to the Parisa Hotel where the incident occurred to take a look at the crime scene. This is a hotel built on the edge of a cliff, known for its privacy. Most of the rooms are independent villas facing the sea, and the villas are far apart. The person in charge of the hotel said that the room where the crime occurred had been occupied by new guests and they could not enter. However, the hotel contacted the police for Xiaojie's family, and the police played the family a video of Zhang Yifan recreating the incident for the police the day before. . "A police officer played the role of Xiaojie. At the beginning of the video, Zhang Yifan was standing in the water wearing baggy shorts, covering the mouth of the stand-in police officer and pushing him into the water. When the police officer stopped struggling, he came ashore and sat in the house for a while. , then went into the water and pulled the body to the steps by the swimming pool, and told the police that he called the front desk at 8:50 that night," Xiaojie's father said.

On November 9, Xiaojie’s family returned to China.

A huge insurance policy was found in the quilt, and the total insured amount may exceed 33 million.
On November 3, Xiaojie’s family called relatives in China and asked for help in finding the huge insurance policy mentioned by Zhang Yifan, so that it could be submitted to the Thai police as evidence as soon as possible.
On November 4, Xiaojie's relatives and Zhang Yifan's father went to Xiaojie and Zhang Yifan's home to look for insurance policies. When everyone was looking around and had no clue, Zhang Yifan's father found a wedding quilt from the closet that had not been covered much. Four policies were found, all of which were life insurance , including a Sunshine Insurance Group contract, purchased on September 22, 2018, with an insured amount of 6.66 million yuan, and a Pacific Insurance contract, purchased on September 6, 2018. , the insured amount is 1 million yuan, a Tongfang Global Life contract with an insured amount of 8 million yuan, purchased on September 5, 2018, and a Fuxing Prudential contract with an insured amount of 1.5 million yuan, purchased on June 20, 2018 .
Found 4 policies
Policy with an insured amount of 8 million

In other words, if Xiaojie dies in compliance with the terms of the insurance contract, Zhang Yifan can obtain a total compensation of 17.16 million yuan from these 4 policies alone.
Xiaojie’s family suspected that Xiaojie did not know the existence of these policies because the policies required the signature of the insured, and on the three signed policies, the signature of the insured was different from Xiaojie’s handwriting, and one of them was more There was a huge difference. After seeing the signatures on the other two insurance policies, Xiaojie's mother thought that although the handwriting was similar, it was not her daughter's handwriting.
Xiaojie's autograph
The signature of one of the insurance policies, the handwriting of the two is obviously different.
It was found together with the 4 insurance policies, and there were several pieces of insurance information recorded by Zhang Yifan. A handwritten record showed that he probably also purchased I bought 5 life insurance policies, all insured by myself, with a total insured amount of 4.5 million yuan. The beneficiary is "statutory".

There are 10 products with a check mark at the back, with a total insured amount of 10.1 million, and this one The bottom of the "insured amount" item on the paper also says "10.1 million". Some products in the two records are suspected to be duplicates. Some of the listed insurances are online insurance products, and some are products of foreign insurance companies.
Xiaojie's family told reporters that the police are investigating these policies and have verified 11 policies from insurance companies headquartered in Beijing and Tianjin, and the remaining policies are headquartered in Zhuhai , Shanghai, Guizhou, Shandong and other places.
Zhang Yifan once mentioned to Xiaojie's family that the last thing he purchased was a Huaxia Insurance policy. The policy has been found, the beneficiary is the legal person, and the insured amount is 5 million yuan.
If Zhang Yifan did purchase the life insurance that was checked in the handwritten and printed details, excluding the suspected duplicates, plus the physical policies and the newly verified Huaxia Insurance, Zhang Yifan purchased a total of 18 life insurance policies with a total insured amount of 33.26 million.
And that may still not be all.
In the past two days, Xiaojie's family found two more records on Zhang Yifan's computer. They suspected that he purchased comprehensive accident insurance from Ping An and Taikang through the Alipay platform. The insured amount was 500,000, and the beneficiary The same is "statutory". It is not yet certain whether

There are 158G of pornographic videos stored in the computer, and there is a huge amount of credit card bill information.
Looking at these insurance policies, Xiaojie’s family was horrified. Zhang Yifan was crazy about buying life insurance, but no one knew about it.
In addition, while going to Thailand to deal with Xiaojie's funeral, Xiaojie's mother also discovered that Zhang Yifan always carried a small black bag with him, never leaving his hand, and never letting anyone help him get his ticket or passport. After being seized by the police station, the police handed over Zhang Yifan's personal belongings to Xiaojie's parents. Xiaojie's mother finally had the opportunity to open the small black bag and found that it contained the passports, household registers, marriage certificates, wallets of Zhang Yifan and his wife and daughter, as well as about 40,000 yuan. Yuan cash.
After the incident, Xiaojie's family was most confused about Zhang Yifan's motive for killing. It seemed unreasonable if it was for money. After all, the two elderly people had been fully subsidizing their lives until they opened Zhang Yifan's computer and retrieved his After reading consumption records, I discovered another side of his life.
In the hotel in Phuket , Zhang Yifan confessed to his parents-in-law that he had resigned from the bank. However, Xiaojie's parents found out after asking Zhang Yifan's former colleagues that Zhang Yifan resigned soon after getting married.
In the nearly 2 years after his marriage, Zhang Yifan was probably unemployed except for a brief period of employment in an insurance company. However, he went to and from get off work normally every day, so that his father-in-law and mother-in-law, who had lived with him for nearly a year, were not aware of it. to exception. "We think Xiaojie knew about it but hid it for him." Xiaojie's mother said.
It is not known what Zhang Yifan was doing every day at that time, but his decadent and wasteful life can be seen from computer storage and credit card bills.
Xiaojie's cousin discovered a total of 158 gigabytes of pornographic videos on Zhang Yifan's desktop computer, and discovered that he had purchased online pornographic services and had some nude chat screenshots on his computer.
Pornographic videos stored in the suspect's computer
Xiaojie's family retrieved part of the consumption records of Guangfa Bank Credit Card and Bank of Communications Credit Card held by Zhang Yifan from the bank.

On October 9, Zhang Yifan spent 1,577 yuan at a cosmetics store in Fuzhou. On October 10 On that day, Zhang Yifan spent 2,565.2 yuan at a Hilton hotel in Fuzhou.Xiaojie’s mother knew about Zhang Yifan’s trip to Fuzhou in October. Zhang Yifan told his mother-in-law that his work unit organized a study trip to Beijing. I didn’t expect to go to Fuzhou.
Zhang Yifan doesn't have many friends, he only has a few classmates with whom he has relatively good relationships. When facing classmates, his words are always changing. "One of his classmates said that Zhang Yifan told him that he was doing bidding, and the Port Authority would give him one business a year, and he could earn hundreds of thousands. Another classmate said that Zhang Yifan told him that he was in the labor protection supplies business." Xiaojie's mother explain.
The whereabouts of millions of assets are unknown. WeChat records are suspected to have been deleted.
Xiaojie and Zhang Yifan were introduced by friends. They got married six months after they met and soon had a child. The family's evaluation of Zhang Yifan is that he is honest, a bit slovenly, but very caring. During Xiaojie's pregnancy, Zhang Yifan often followed Xiaojie with a water glass and said, "Jie, drink some water." Many people have seen that scene. After the child was born, Zhang Yifan seemed to be very concerned about the child.
When Xiaojie got married, her parents gave their daughter a house and 800,000 in cash. In daily life, the two elderly people always try their best to help the young couple and prevent them from suffering financial pressure.
In March this year, Zhang Yifan proposed to buy another house. In order to obtain the qualifications for the first house, he divorced Xiaojie. When Xiaojie's mother found out, she asked them to remarry quickly and provided 600,000 yuan to fund it, plus the money provided by Zhang Yifan's father. RMB 1 million is enough to pay the full amount.
After the incident, Zhang Yifan's father found the purchase contract for the house and discovered that Zhang Yifan still borrowed 670,000 yuan when purchasing the house, and the 670,000 yuan that was supposed to be used for the purchase of the house was missing.An investigation by Xiaojie's family found that the 800,000 yuan they had given as a wedding gift was missing, and Zhang Yifan still owed a lot of money on his credit card.
Does Xiaojie know these things? The family believes that Xiaojie probably doesn't know because Zhang Yifan should be managing the family's money. "Zhang Yifan grasps money very tightly. Xiaojie mentioned to me that it is difficult to get money from Zhang Yifan. He seems to dote on Xiaojie, but in fact he should be the one who decides everything in their family. We brothers and sisters often At the party, everyone took turns to pay the bill. After the incident, everyone thought back and realized that it was Zhang Yifan who went to pay the bill every time, not Xiaojie. If we didn't let him pay, he really didn't pay. He never paid the bill once. "Xiao Jie. Jie's cousin said.
But these did not affect Xiaojie's feelings for her husband. She was always devoted to Zhang Yifan.
Xiaojie’s classmate recalled that before getting married, Zhang Yifan lost his temper once and smashed his cell phone and car windshield. She advised Xiaojie to think about it again, but Xiaojie did a self-examination. After marriage, Xiaojie was full of love for her husband. She made cartoon sticker photos for Zhang Yifan and set a sweet WeChat nickname for him. She also told her cousin that she thought Zhang Yifan looked cute. After her daughter was born, Xiaojie put all her thoughts on the child. She has been immersed in the happiness of family life and has no doubts about the person next to her.
Photos of stickers made for the suspect stored in the deceased’s mobile phone
Xiaojie’s mobile phone is now kept by her parents. WeChat chat records show that Zhang Yifan left the hotel on the evening of October 28. At 0:35 in the morning on the 29th, he sent his wife an email There came a driving video and photos of the fruit and water that his wife asked him to buy. At 1:49 a.m., he sent his wife a song, and they had no conversation since then. Xiaojie's family wanted to know what Zhang Yifan did during this period in Thailand, a place they were unfamiliar with, and who he met.
reporters checked Xiaojie’s mobile phone and found that the WeChat chat records between her and her husband were only kept until October 20. The two were discussing applying for a visa and choosing a hotel. Some of the hotels recommended by Xiaojie were adopted by Zhang Yifan, but the Parisa Hotel where the incident occurred did not appear in the conversation between the two.
The family of the deceased hopes to extradite the suspect back to the country
According to media reports, Thailand executed a 26-year-old death row prisoner in June this year. This was the first execution in Thailand in nine years. Zhang Yifan is currently detained in Thailand. If he is tried in Thailand, it may be difficult for him to be sentenced to death. "Thailand has a trend of eliminating the death penalty. If you are tried in Thailand, it is difficult to be sentenced to death and executed just for the violent murder of your wife according to Thai law. If you add the evidence provided by China, for example, it can be verified that there is a huge amount of fraudulent insurance When committing such crimes, the possibility of being sentenced to death will increase, but there are complicated identification procedures for the exchange of evidence between the two countries," said lawyer Yang Qingchun, director of the Thai-Chinese Legal Research Center of Beijing Zhongwen Law Firm.
Based on this situation, Xiaojie’s parents very much hope that Zhang Yifan will be extradited to China for trial. Lawyer Yang said that there is a precedent for China to extradite criminal suspects from Thailand to China for trial or to extradite criminals. Most of them are minor crimes. Such serious crimes The procedures for handling criminal offenses may be complicated. In addition, China may also initiate an investigation into the crime of insurance fraud, initiate public prosecutions and impose judgments. The domestic and Thai cases are likely to affect and be deeply related to each other. How to handle them appropriately will not only be a test for the judicial departments and lawyers of the two countries, but also a major test for the relatives of the injured party and the offender.
According to the procedures, the prerequisite for extradition is that the domestic police need to file a case. However, the local police station in the country stated that since the suspect was not in the country and the crime scene was not in the country, they could not file a case for intentional homicide. In the end, they filed a case on the grounds that the deceased's father had been defrauded. On December 3, Xiaojie’s parents received a notification of filing the case from the police station.
Notice of filing the case received by the father of the deceased
Deng Xueping, senior partner of Jingheng Lawyers Shanghai Firm and well-known criminal defense lawyerDeng Xueping stated that as long as there is evidence, a case for intentional homicide can also be filed in China.Of course, if the police believe that an intentional homicide case cannot be established yet, they can first file a case for fraud and extradite the suspect back to the country, and then decide based on the evidence whether they can subsequently be held accountable for intentional homicide. "Generally speaking, such cases The sentencing for crimes in China should be heavier than in Thailand. If it can be proven that the murder was intentional and the method was cruel, the person will probably be sentenced to death.”
The breakdown of three families
Behind every murder case is the breakdown of several families. After his daughter's accident, Xiaojie's father always lost his appetite. Despite the persuasion of his family, he could only eat a small bowl of noodles for the next meal. He lost 20 pounds in a month. Xiaojie's mother worked in a family-run restaurant before her accident. Watching the master of the kitchen, after her daughter's accident, she was so distracted that the water in the kitchen was left on all night.
For Zhang Yifan's father, life is also painful. His son and daughter-in-law lived with him for a long time after they got married. He watched the two of them commuting to get off work together every day and never had a quarrel. He felt that the relationship between the young couple was particularly good. When he learned that his son had already resigned from his job, misappropriated the purchase money, and had huge monthly expenses, he was deeply surprised. He recognized Xiaojie as his daughter-in-law and couldn't figure out why his son could do such a thing.
The most distressing thing is Xiaojie’s daughter Xiaoxiao. This 1-year-old girl originally had a cheerful personality, strong expressive skills, and knew many things that often surprised adults. However, after the incident, Xiaoxiao’s personality changed. A big change. I often feel dazed during the day. I always wake up crying at night. I cry and shout "scared" every time.
In the past, Xiaoxiao was closest to her mother, and she only looked for her mother at night. But after Xiaojie was killed, Xiaoxiao never mentioned looking for her mother again. The adults couldn't believe that a child over 1 year old could understand what death is, so they repeatedly tested Xiaoxiao.
