Once again, Ms. Zhang and his wife from Qujing, Yunnan still find it difficult to accept the fact that their daughter Fang was killed by her son-in-law Qu Moulin.
In July 2020, the "killing wife and dismemberment case" of Qu Moulin, a man from Anyue in Sichuan, caused a sensation. After he transported the body to his hometown for burial in two times, he actually called the police and said his wife Fang was missing. It was not until the police reviewed the community surveillance and found the burial scene under the guidance of his father that he admitted the crime of killing his wife and dismembering his body.
Qu Moulin, Fang Mou and two children
On September 13, 2021, a reporter from Red Star News learned from Ms. Zhang that Qu Moulin was sentenced to death by the Ziyang Intermediate People's Court on May 27 for committing intentional homicide, with two years of probation and restricted sentence reduction. The verdict also shows that Qu Moulin was dismembered after killing someone, and the circumstances were extremely serious and the social impact was extremely bad, so she should be severely punished. Given that the cause of this case was a marriage and family dispute, the victim Fang had certain faults, Qu Moulin confessed truthfully after being arrested, and he could be given a lighter punishment.
"Even if my daughter is wrong, she will not die. I have always hoped to sentence him to death, and one life will be worth one life." On the morning of September 13, the civil lawsuit filed by Ms. Zhang and her husband against Qu Moulin was heard in the Anyue County People's Court. Ms. Zhang told Red Star News that they claimed about 830,000 yuan from Qu Moulin about the division of the joint property of her daughter and Qu Moulin, as well as mental loss and funeral expenses.
[ Case occurred]
Killing his wife and separating her body and burying her
He actually called the police and said that his wife was missing
July 20, 2020, for Ms. Zhang, it was a day that was difficult to erase from her memory. She clearly remembered that at 7 o'clock that morning, she received a call from her niece asking her daughter Fang if she had returned to Qujing. The daughter did not return to her parents' home. Ms. Zhang felt strange. After careful inquiry, she learned that her niece, who was also married to An Yue, received a call from a coworker Fang, saying that her daughter had not been to work on the construction site for two days and the phone was turned off. "The company also said that if you can't find someone again, you will be fired."
On May 8, 2021, Qu Moulin appeared in court for trial
"At that time, I thought the couple had a fight and (daughter) might have gone out to relax." Ms. Zhang recalled that two days ago (July 18), she also chatted with her daughter for nearly 4 minutes. At that time, her daughter was riding an electric bike to go home. She learned that her daughter had gone to have dinner because her friend moved to her house that night. She was worried and immediately contacted her son-in-law Qu Moulin, but the other party said that Fang Mou disappeared on the evening of July 18 and he had called the police to look for someone. An Yue police's notice a few days later confirmed that Qu Moulin called the police on July 20 that his wife disappeared on July 19.
waited for two days, but there was still no news about her daughter. Ms. Zhang arrived in Anyue on July 22. "I searched for one day on the 23rd and for a long time on the morning of the 24th, but there was still no news." Ms. Zhang said that during the search, she proposed to transfer the community surveillance and search, but Qu Moulin dissuaded her on the grounds that the police filed a case and asked her to wait for the notice. In addition, she learned from her daughter's coworkers that the coworkers sent her daughter to the entrance of the community on the evening of July 18. When her daughter returned home, she carried a bag with a chain and wore black leather shoes.
html At around 4 a.m. on July 25, Ms. Zhang, who had been thinking about going to sleep, thought of the black leather shoes her daughter wore before she lost contact, so she searched at her daughter's house and finally found a pair of black leather shoes for her daughter in the shoe cabinet. She suspected that the shoes were worn by her daughter before she lost contact, and planned to take the shoes to her daughter's coworkers after dawn to verify. But what made her feel strange was that after getting up at dawn, the black leather shoes disappeared, and instead put a pair of slippers.At this time, Ms. Zhang had doubts about her son-in-law. She suspected that Qu Moulin had hidden her shoes, but also felt that her behavior was abnormal. Afterwards, Ms. Zhang went to the police station alone to report the case and told the police about these abnormalities. After Qu Moulin was arrested, his confession also confirmed that the shoes were thrown into the trash can of the underground garage. After reporting the case with
, Ms. Zhang returned to the community where her daughter lives to check the surveillance video, and the police arrived soon. They found that Fang took the elevator home at 22:37 on July 18 and has not gone out since then. What's even more strange is that at around 10:30 am on July 19, Qu Moulin pulled a black suitcase and took the elevator downstairs to go out.
Ms. Zhang’s suspicion was quickly confirmed. On July 25, Qu Moulin was taken away by the police. The next day, she learned from the police that her daughter had been killed and the murderer was Qu Moulin. According to the verdict, on the evening of July 18, after Fang returned home, Qu Moulin had an quarrel with him. Afterwards, Fang went back to the bedroom to sleep. After Qu Moulin waited for her to sleep, she killed her with a kitchen knife and dismembered her body in the bedroom bathroom. She put the body blocks and blankets into a code box, fishing gear bag, plastic bucket, and handbag. On July 19, Qu Moulin used an electric car to transport Fang Mou's body to her hometown to hide in two times, and buried the body and other bodies on the hillside behind the house in her hometown that afternoon.
[Pleading guilty]
The police retrieved the surveillance and found abnormalities
Under the guidance of her father, she found the burial site
993, Fang Mou, born in Qu Jing, Yunnan, is from Anyue, Sichuan. Ms. Zhang told Red Star News that her daughter and Qu Moulin were introduced to her by a matchmaker. "His (Qu Moulin) mother is also from Qu Jing, and she is a neighbor to me." Ms. Zhang said that the two met and their daughter was only 16 years old. After the wedding the next year, the daughter worked in Kunming with Qu Moulin's family, and the couple also had a son and a daughter. On the evening of July 18, 2020, Fang took the elevator home.

"Knowing people and not your heart, how could you know that this would lead to such a result." When talking about his impression of Qu Moulin, Ms. Zhang did not respond too much. In her opinion, her daughter and Qu Moulin had a good relationship at first, and the two also bought a house in Anyue. She said that around 2016, because the child had to go back to Anyue to study in the "preschool class" in elementary school, her daughter and Qu Moulin returned to Anyue, one of whom took care of the children and the other working in Anyue to earn money. But two or three years later, Qu Moulin returned to Kunming to follow her parents to continue working on the pink wall on the construction site. After the couple separated, the conflict gradually deepened. Not long before the incident, Qu Moulin also mentioned divorce, deposit division and house sales on the phone. "My daughter (and I) also said she wanted to divorce on the phone. At that time, I advised her not to divorce, and it was sad to leave the child." The first-instance judgment of
stated that after receiving a call from Ms. Zhang, the police retrieved the community surveillance and determined that Qu Moulin was a major suspect in the crime, but after Qu Moulin was summoned by the police, she did not confess the crime at first. After that, the police found Qu Moulin's father Qu Moulun to understand the situation, learned that Qu Moulun knew about Fang Mou's burial place, and found the burial site under his guidance. On July 26, 2020, facing the evidence, Qu Moulin confessed to the crime of killing Fang Mou and dismembering the body.
The reason why Qu Moulun knew where the body was buried was because on July 21, 2020, he and his wife returned to Anyue from Yunnan after they learned from their wife Liu that their son had killed Fang. That night, Qu Moulin and her father rode an electric bike to the corpse burial site to check, and added soil, planted lards and covered garbage at the corpse burial site to prevent the crime from being exposed.
[ Motivation]
Suspected that his wife had an affair and became pregnant
The two had a murderous intention after a quarrel
So, why did Qu Moulin kill his wife? The witness testimony in the verdict shows that in May 2020, Qu Moulun returned to Anyue from Kunming and learned from his grandson and granddaughter that Fang Mou would take a man home or go to the park to play, and often did not go home at night and drank outside. For this reason, he felt that Fang might have done something wrong to his son, so he informed Qu Moulin about the situation.
Qu Moulin confessed that he and his wife had been separated for a long time. Since 2019, his wife has often been playing outside and then returned home late, so they have a fight. In May and June 2020, he and his wife agreed to "do their own affairs". On July 6 last year, he returned to Anyue from Kunming to ask clearly about his wife and a man surnamed Dian. After he returned to Anyue, his wife often went home very late, and even stayed for several days and nights. On the evening of July 16, his wife took her child to eat and drink with others, and sent the child home at around 21 o'clock and then went out to play. "The reason for killing Fang is because Fang is too ignorant of his family, and there have been conflicts over the years."
Qu Moulin also said that a week before the incident, he saw his wife's examination form in the hospital and knew that his wife was pregnant, but the child was not his, because he and his wife had not lived with each other for more than a year.The hospital's examination records also confirmed that on July 6, 2020, Fang was diagnosed with pregnancy at an Anyue Health Center and had a drug abortion on the 8th of the same month. The testimony of a man surnamed Dai presented by the prosecution also confirmed that after meeting Fang on the construction site in April 2020, he developed a relationship between men and women and had sex in many places. After Fang became pregnant, he accompanied Fang to the hospital for medication for an abortion. Fang told him that he didn't know whether the child belonged to her husband or his.
htmlOn the evening of July 18, Qu Moulin took the child to sleep first, and when she woke up, her wife still had not returned home. Then he went to the sofa to sleep until his wife woke up again when she returned home. "I play so late every night, who are you playing with?" Qu Moulin confessed that after he asked his wife, he got the answer "No matter which one I play with, we are in charge of our own." The two had an argument over this. After the quarrel, Fang went back to the bedroom to sleep. The more he thought about it, the more angry he gradually became more and more murderous.[Judgement]
Cause is a marriage and family dispute
Defendant was sentenced to death sentence reprieve restriction and reduction of sentence
On May 8, 2021, the Ziyang Intermediate People's Court held a public trial of Qu Moulin's intentional homicide case.
On May 8, 2021, Ms. Zhang said that she attended the trial at that time. When the first instance verdict was announced on May 27, she failed to arrive at the scene, but then learned from the verdict sent by the court that Qu Moulin was sentenced to death for committing intentional homicide.
The verdict provided by him states that the court held that Qu Moulin's intentional and illegal depriving others of his life with a knife due to marriage and family conflicts constituted intentional homicide. After being arrested, Qu Moulin truthfully confessed her crimes and may be given a lighter punishment according to law; the victim Fang Mou had an improper relationship with others during the marriage, and had certain faults in the cause of this case, and the defendant Qu Moulin may be given a lighter punishment at his discretion.
The court also believed that Qu Moulin had dismembered the body after killing someone, and the circumstances were extremely serious and the social impact was extremely bad, and should be severely punished. Given that the cause of this case was a marriage and family dispute and the victim had certain faults, Qu Moulin truthfully confessed after being arrested and could be given a lighter punishment. The court made a first-instance judgment, sentenced Qu Moulin to death for intentional homicide, suspended for two years, deprived of political rights for life, and restricted sentence from being reduced.
"Even if my daughter is wrong, she will not die. He is so cruel (killing) that not only harmed my daughter, but also harmed himself, and the children." Ms. Zhang and her husband believe that the conflict between her daughter and Qu Moulin is multifaceted. In their opinion, if Qu Moulin thinks Fang Mou is wrong, he can take the person away from Qu Jing when he got married, and he can send the person back to Qu Jing and hand it over to them. Not only that, divorce can also be filed through litigation and other means. But in the end, Qu Moulin chose to "kill and dismember him", "So, we have always hoped to sentence him to death, one life will be worth one life."
Ms. Zhang and her family also said that after Qu Moulin was sentenced to death with a suspended death sentence in the first instance, they filed a complaint with the procuratorate, but the reply they received was that there was no "frequently sentenced to lightly commit crimes."

The victim's parents claim about 830,000
Hope to get back their daughter's property and compensate for the losses
Now, Fang's son and daughter are both in elementary school. "My daughter is gone. I used to think about raising my granddaughter." Ms. Zhang said, but both children said they wanted to live with her grandmother. After thinking about it, she gave up her own ideas. "My family's conditions are not very good, and I'm afraid that it will affect the future of the children. In addition, I'm also afraid that they will leave when they grow up, and they will be even more sad at that time. So, I won't fight for (custody)."
Regarding Qu Moulun who was dealt with in another case mentioned in the verdict, Ms. Zhang and her family said that they didn't know if Qu Moulun was dealt with because of this. "Since he cannot be sentenced to death, we must take back the property that belongs to our daughter." Ms. Zhang said that after Qu Moulin was sentenced to death with a suspended death sentence in the first instance, she and her husband filed a lawsuit with the Anyue County People's Court, demanding that the joint property of her daughter and Qu Moulin be divided, and to ask Qu Moulin to compensate for mental losses, funeral expenses, etc.
htmlOn the morning of September 13, the civil lawsuit filed by Ms. Zhang and her husband was heard in the Anyue County People's Court.After more than an hour of trial, Qu Moulin's parents walked out of the court, had a simple quarrel with Fang Mou's relatives, and then left the court directly.Ms. Zhang said that the claims for property division and mental loss fees they requested at the trial were about 830,000 yuan. In addition, Qu Moulin participated in the trial through video link. During the trial, he said that he had made a mistake and said that he had made a mistake, saying that he would only pay after he was released, but "his parents and lawyers said that he would not pay."
On the same day, the civil lawsuit was not announced, and Ms. Zhang and his wife and relatives rushed back to Qujing.
