In order to confirm his identity of the murderer, the victim was fair, the police overcome many difficulties and dig graves for autopsy. When the DNA test results showed that the degree of coincidence was greater than %99.999999, the unsolved case that had been covered for 25 yea

1991 At noon on May 23, 1991, Wei Shumin, a villager from Hewan Village, Xiuwu County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, and her 4-year-old son were brutally killed and thrown away the body.

At noon on May 23, 2016, On the same day after 25 years, The police went through a lot of hardships to find the suspect, but he had been dead for 10 years.

In order to confirm his murderer's identity, the victim was given justice. The police overcome many difficulties and dig graves for autopsy. When the DNA test results showed that the degree of coincidence was greater than %99.999999, the unsolved case that had been covered for 25 years was successfully solved.

The plot of this case is full of twists and turns, and the excitement is comparable to that of a film and television drama. Although the murderer has been buried for many years when he was confirmed, it also proves the saying: I will pay back what I owe sooner or later, who has the heaven spared?

The time when the murderer was dug out of the soil actually coincided with the time when the victim died 25 years ago. This coincidence also added a lot of mystery to this case, and has its own fixed number.

Next, let’s go into this unsolved case together.

The first serious case taken over by Fan Xinhe

Today's case, we need to describe it from the perspective of a police officer involved, because he was the person in charge of the case that year, and his name was Fan Xinhe. In 25 years, he has been a child from Fan to Old Fan, and from the captain to the director, he has been biting the case.

Fan Xinhe

There is a saying he often says: "If you work for a policeman for a day, you can't give up this case for a day, you have to see him. People will die and see the body. They will never give up until the case is solved! We must give the victim an explanation and the people an explanation." ”

1991, Fan Xinhe was 28 years old. This year was destined to be an unforgettable day for his entire life. In this year, he was promoted to the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Xiuwu County Public Security Bureau. After taking office, the first serious case he took over was this case. This huge rock sank in his heart for 25 years.

1991 (the tenth day of the fourth lunar month) at around 11:00 pm, the Xiuwu County Public Security Bureau received a call from a villager in Hewan Village, Wuliyuan Township, saying that the body of his child was found in a scrap well in a machine well room.

After receiving the alarm call, Fan Xinhe and a group of police officers rushed to the crime scene. After arriving at the scene, Fan Xinhe took a rough look and immediately ordered: "Closing the scene, don't salvage the body first, collect the traces and physical evidence around it, and pay attention to the surrounding footprints."

Sure enough, after eliminating the footprints of the reporter, the police in charge of the case extracted new footprints on the loose soil around the waste well. Apart from this, no other clues were found.

Footprints extracted on the spot

Then, the police took advantage of the light of the flashlight to salvage the child's body. This is a 4-year-old child. When he was salvaged, his eyes were closed, his fists were clenched, his facial expression was extremely frightened, and his head was comminuted.

Just as the child's body was salvaged, another naked female corpse appeared underground, which was also a comminuted fracture of the head. The autopsy learned that the two victims of , had no water in their lungs, and were killed and were thrown into the well after being thrown into , after repeated investigations in the well room of the well, and no blood was found. Isn't this the crime scene?

In addition to this information, forensic investigations learned that the female deceased was also violated before her death. The murderer's sperm spot was extracted from the body of , which was also the most important evidence discovered at that time.

Since the conditions for night investigation were not met at that time, Fan Xinhe decided to come back to investigate after dawn the next day. At the same time, he began to record and inquire about the reporter.

According to the person reported, the deceased was his wife Wei Shumin and his four-year-old son. At 12 noon that day, Wei Shumin left the house with 100 yuan, rode a Yellow River bicycle with his son to the market with his son to the market for Xiuwu County , preparing to buy a piece of clothing for his daughter, and take his son to see a doctor and buy medicine.

Didn’t see the mother and son coming home until dark, and the anxious husband called his brother to go out together to search. After the two arrived in Xiuwu County, the market had already ended and the villagers went home one after another.

Then, the two searched along the way, and finally found the child dead in the well in the well room on the roadside, and then called the police.

After learning about the general situation of the victim, the police continued to investigate the well room the next day, and indeed made new discoveries. Next to the well room is a mature wheat field, , and a "path" appears in the wheat field, extending from the well room to a dirt road not far away, , and all the wheat is poured in one direction, which is the well room.

Crime scene

Is the murderer dragged the victim into the well room from the roadside? Fan Xinhe began to search carefully along the fallen wheat, and soon found a white lady's shoe. After being identified by the victim's husband, the shoe was exactly the one of his wife Wei Shumin.

At this point, Fan Xinhe made a bold guess. The murderer was likely to drag Wei Shumin to the well room from this road and then committed the crime.

But what followed was a series of questions, where is Wei Shumin's clothes? Where is his bicycle? The most important thing is that it was the day of going to the market, and many villagers would take this road to the county, and there were many pedestrians coming and going. How could the murderer commit the crime here? Are you crouching in advance? Or is the murderer also passing by on this road, and committing a random crime after encountering him here? Will anyone see any abnormalities during this period?

In order to understand this question, Fan Xinhe came up with a solution. He asked the police to ride a bicycle from the home of the deceased Wei Shumin. He repeated this repeatedly and got a test result. When Wei Shumin arrived at the roadside of the well room, it should be around 12:15.

Note: Simulation screen

In other words, things are likely to happen during this period of time. Maybe someone will ask, what if Wei Shumin was killed when she came back? Let’s ask the forensic doctor this question, I won’t explain too much. Is this time accurate? The police began to conduct a visit and investigation of nearby villagers to see who passed by here during this time that day, and asked them to try their best to recall whether they found any abnormalities when passing by.

As expected, four villagers recalled the situation at that time.

The first villager reported: "At about 12 o'clock, when I passed by, I saw a bald man about 30 years old wandering by the canal, about 1.7 meters tall..."

The second villager said: "I also saw a suspicious man near the well room (the appearance description is basically the same as the first villager described). At that time, I was riding a bicycle and saw He was squatting by the canal. When he saw me, he got up. Then I was a little scared and accelerated my riding speed. After leaving, I took a look at the time. It was about 12:13..."

Police visited and investigated witnesses (note: simulation screen)

The other two villagers did not see this person when they recalled, but they saw an 8 bicycle slumped on the ground on the side of the road. There was a child seat welded on the front beam.They thought it was a passing pedestrian nearby using the toilet, so they parked their car on the side of the road, so they didn't think much about it and left.

The two villagers who saw the bicycle passed by there at about 12:18, . After that, the villagers passing by saw nothing.

Fan Xinhe speculated from this that Wei Shumin and his child passed by here during this time period (between 12:13 and 12:18), and were dragged into the well room by the murderer. Since the villagers did not find the bicycle again, it means that the murderer either hid the bicycle nearby or rode his bike away from the scene after committing the crime.

Next, it is to find this disappearing bicycle.

The murderer is a labor reform criminal who is serving his sentence?

In the 1990s, cars were not very popular, especially in such small counties and mountain villages, bicycles were still the main means of transportation. Therefore, Fan Xinhe is very familiar with the tire marks of various brands of bicycles in Xiuwu County. He knows what kind of tire marks it is when he sees the tire marks, and he can identify its tire marks when he knows what kind of car it is.

After asking Wei Shumin's husband, he learned that Wei Shumin was riding a Yellow River bicycle that day. Afterwards, Fan Xinhe found the tire mark of this kind of bicycle on the side of the Jijingfang Road. Unlike the wheel mark on the main road, it leads to the field road on the side of the road.

Then, the police followed the wheel print all the way, and the wheel print disappeared near the pond 100 meters away from the starting point. The police inferred that the murderer was likely to have thrown the car into the pond.

Sure enough, after some salvage, Wei Shumin's bicycle was found. It is worth mentioning that in order to find other physical evidence in the pond (such as murder weapon, victim's clothing, etc.), the police drained the water, and then searched barefoot in the mudflat for a long time, but found nothing.

Policeman salvage bicycle

The case has not made much progress at this point. Judging from the clues I have mastered, I can only find someone directly. 0-year-old man, 1.7 meters tall, bald.

Speaking of this, many people think that bald heads are normal. That is now. In that era, when people mentioned bald heads, the first thing they thought of was special groups such as labor reform criminals.

combined with the murderer who did not run away on his bicycle, but abandoned the car and chose to walk. It is most likely that people were nearby. The police first checked the nearby villagers and did not find a bald man who met this situation.

Then, Fan Xinhe made a bold guess. . Xinhe Farm, one kilometer away from the crime scene, imprisoned 642 labor reform criminals, all bald. Could the murderer have escaped from there?

Xinhe Farm and the well room are only separated by a wheat field

Maybe some people may find it incredible. How could people serving sentences run out at will? Then run back?

Here I would like to popularize it. In the last century, most of the prisoners under 10 years of age adopted labor reform and discipline detachment system. Prisoners usually use labor to serve their sentences and reform, and is relatively "free".

Especially agricultural labor reform, such as raising horses, herding sheep, feeding cattle, managing farmland, chopping wood and planting trees, etc. There was once a labor reformer who raised ducks. Because he had been away from home for a long time, he was in a state of "out of control". As a result, he used duck eggs to seduce women from nearby farmhouses and committed adultery for a long time, which eventually led to a murder.

Note: Network diagram

And the labor reform prisoner at Xinhe Farm at that time was agricultural transformation. With this speculation, Fan Xinhe immediately led his people to Xinhe Farm and began to investigate.

The suspicious labor reform criminal

After coming to Xinhe Farm, Fan Xinhe learned that there were eight labor production teams here, and the 16 people working outside the animal husbandry team on the day of the incident were all in groups of two people, supervising each other. Will the murderer be one of them?

Then, Fan Xinhe asked them to write all their itineraries on paper and then began to confirm one by one. All 15 labor reform prisoners were absent during the incident. Only one labor reform prisoner named Liang Gangling, and no one could confirm the situation at noon.

Note: Internet pictures

According to Liang Gangling, he had been sleeping in the house at noon that day, and another labor prisoner who supervised him went to the cafeteria for lunch. After dinner, he went to play chess with someone else. In other words, Liang Gangling said that during the time he was sleeping, no one could testify to him.

The most important thing is that when the police officers in charge of the case saw him at first, they had some doubts about him. because of his height and age are very similar to those described by the villagers passing by the well room.

Just when the police interrogated him, they found another important clue, . This clue almost determined Liang Gangling as the murderer. If it weren't for Fan Xinhe's meticulous attitude, this case would have been another story.

During the interrogation, the police found a black spot on the cuff of Liang Gang's collar. This was very bloody. After testing, it was found that this was the blood of . The blood type of is the same as the blood type of the victim Wei Shumin. is also AB type (Liang Gang's collar himself has type A blood). Although he could not be convicted by his blood type alone, Liang Gangling had become the biggest suspect in the case at that time.

Note: Simulation screen

As for why human blood appears on the clothes that is not his own blood type, Liang Gangling insisted that he doesn't know, and he doesn't help him. Of course, Fan Xinhe would not do this either. This is the first serious case he took over after taking office as deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Xiuwu County Public Security Bureau. He must clarify the case and the case will be finalized after the evidence is confirmed.

Then, he asked someone to take the sperm extracted from the victim Wei Shumin to Beijing and go to the Ministry of Public Security for the blood type identification of sperm spots.

June 11, 1991, two weeks had passed since the incident, and the police who went to Beijing also rushed back with the appraisal results. Unfortunately, the result he brought back completely put the case in a deadlock.

identification results show that the blood type of the sperm spot in Wei Shumin's body is O type .

Liang Gangling is type A blood

Identification report

Although Liang Gangling is very suspicious, his blood type is type A, and the murderer is not him, the case has returned to the origin again.

Who will be the bald murderer? Where is he?

25 years later

After that, this case became a stone in Fan Xinhe's heart. In the first few years, he had come to the well room at the crime scene countless times to search for clues again, and his footprints were spread all over the surrounding wheat fields.

The burial place of the victim was not far from here after being buried. Whenever Fan Xinhe passed by, he felt uncomfortable. The case was in his hands and became a unsolved case, which made him unable to let go.

It’s no wonder that the criminal investigation technology in the 1990s was far less developed than it is now, and many things cannot be done. Relying on manpower alone is simply looking for a needle in the sea.

Forensic Wang Weihua saved the physical evidence left by the murderer, But there was no decent physical evidence room at that time, and even the cardboard boxes for storing physical evidence were made by Wang Weihua himself. Every once in a while, Wang Weihua would take it out and re-place it. He has said more than once: "As long as I save the physical evidence, the next generation of police will have a chance."

Forensic Wang Weihua's physical evidence box

In 2010, the Jiaozuo Municipal Public Security Bureau established the DNA database , which brought hope to the resolution of the remaining cases. Unfortunately, after many comparisons, there was no comparison.

Maybe it was just established and the DNA database is not perfect enough. Fan Xinhe comforted himself like this, but he still did not give up. In the next year, Fan Xinhe and the investigators traveled all over Henan Province and even went to other provinces to find the reform prisoners of the animal husbandry team detained in Xinhe Farm that year, and compared them one by one.

result still nothing was found.

In 2012, the DNA database of the Ministry of Public Security was further improved, and Fan Xinhe continued to compare and returned disappointed again.

Until May 4, 2016, Fan Xinhe received a call from the Provincial Public Security Department and received a message that made him ecstatic: "The DNA comparison of the suspect in the 5.23 major case is in Ningling County, Shangqiu City."

Fan Xinhe

1 At the same time, the police from Jiaozuo Municipal Public Security Bureau also received the results of the comparison from the Provincial Public Security Department. As a superior department of Xiuwu County Public Security Bureau, the Jiaozuo Municipal Public Security Bureau immediately organized police forces to go to Ningling County for investigation.

In a few days, it will be May 23rd, the day of the victim Wei Shumin's death, and it also marks that 25 years have passed in the case. Can the real murderer be brought to justice? What kind of twists and turns will the case usher in? Let's continue to look down.

grave digging and autopsy

The one who was compared was the 75-year-old Shi Laohan from Ningling County, Shangqiu City. Just as the task force was preparing to arrest him secretly, Fan Xinhe, who had been investigating this case for many years, raised doubts again. According to the inference at that time and the description of the witnesses, the murderer should have committed the crime at about 30 years old. Even after 25 years, he was only in his 50s. How could he be 75 years old? This is also much worse.

Fan Xinhe's work notes

Then, the police turned their attention to his three sons, but the results of the Sperm identification showed that the three sons of Mr. Shi were not the murderers. Could it be that the inference at that time was wrong? The murderer is the 75-year-old Mr. Shi?

In order not to alert the enemy, the case handlers began to chat with him after extracting biological samples from Old Man Shi, only talking about family matters and not proposing the case. Through the conversation, they learned that Old Man Shi rarely went out for 75 years, and The farthest place he has been to is Xiuwu County, Jiaozuo City.

The police chatted with Mr. Shi for family

What is exciting is that The time he described was very consistent with the time when the 5.23 case occurred. Just when everyone was excited to think that the case was approaching the truth, Fan Xinhe's doubts were still not dispelled.

As expected, the results of the semen spot identification came out soon, and Old Man Shi was not the murderer.

At the critical moment, Fan Xinhe made another bold speculation that Old Man Shi should have a son . Subsequently, the police began to visit nearby villagers, which also confirmed Fan Xinhe's speculation.

Old Man Shi has an eldest son named Shi Jiazhou. No one in the village wants to mention him, let alone Shi Jia, why?

Because throughout his life, Shi Jiazhou has been committing crimes or serving his sentence. Shi Jiazhou was born in 1963 and has been suffering from bad fortunes since he was a child. The villagers hate him very much.

History Zhou

1AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

In 2001, Shi Jiazhou was sentenced to 4 years in prison for robbery at Shangqiu Railway Station.

During his sentence, Shi Jiazhou lived in almost all major prisons in Henan Province, including Xinhe Farm. He served his sentence here from 1981 to 1988. Police learned that since Shi Jiazhou raped a woman from the same village, he was afraid to return to the village. He had been active in Xiuwu County and Jiaozuo City for a few years after his release until he was arrested for committing a crime in Jiaozuo City in 1992.

and the 5.23 case happened just during this period, that is, in 1991, the old man Shi went to Xiuwu County to visit this incompetent son. The direction of

has been clear, and Shi Jiazhou is a major suspect in the crime. However, unexpectedly, Shi Jiazhou died of illness in 2006 and has been buried for 10 years.

In order to give the victims justice and give an explanation to the victims' families and the common people, the police decided to open the coffin and examine the autopsy. However, this idea was firmly opposed by Mr. Shi, and claimed that in order to bury Shi Jiazhou, the funeral expenses were spent a lot. If he wanted to open the coffin, would have to give him 100,000 yuan in compensation.

House Shi opened his mouth and said that compensation fee of 100,000 yuan

However, the police found out that after Shi Jiazhou's death, Old Man Shi did not show up, and he was not even prepared for a coffin when he was buried, let alone a grand burial. After three or four villagers wrapped him in sheets, they dug a pit and buried it.

After many communication failed, the police directly "invite" Mr. Shi to the police station for a while and gave up. Mr. Shi then gave up and agreed to raise the grave.

at noon on May 23, it was raining lightly in the sky. In a wasteland, the police dug up Shi Jiazhou's grave with an umbrella. This day was the time of the incident that year, and it was also the death day of the victim Wei Shumin and his son...

html The 30

grave digging and autopsy

identification results show that the source of STR classification detected by the murderer's legacy sperm spots and the possibility that Shi Jiazhou's teeth belong to the individual is greater than 99.99999999%. Shi Jiazhou is the real murderer in the 5.23 case.

Authorization result

After 25 years of persistence, the case finally came to an end. When the Xiuwu County police delivered the appraisal result to the victim's family, Wei Shumin's daughter, who was in her 30s, suddenly she burst into tears and burst into tears. She was only 8 years old when the incident happened. She missed her mother all the time during the 25 years. Perhaps, we will never be able to understand her mood at that time.

Fan Xinhe, who has been tracking this case for 25 years, is already over 50 years old, and the huge rock in his heart has finally fallen. The result of this case is just as he often says: "I have to see people alive, and I have to see the corpse when I die. I will never give up until I solve this case."

has its own fixed number in the dark. The Shijia Zhou did many evil deeds, and although he did not receive severe punishment from the law, he still cannot escape.

In addition to the efforts of the police officers in charge of the case, DNA technology has once again made contributions, and the power of technology is amazing. I hope that more accumulated cases will be solved one by one with the development of technology.

As in this case, forensic doctor Wang Weihua said: "As long as I save the physical evidence, the next generation of police will have a chance."

Wang Weihua, with white hair,

Finally, let me mention Liang Gangling, who was investigated at Xinhe Farm. Maybe everyone has this question: Since he is not the murderer, why does human blood appear on his clothes with the same blood type as the victim? Even if the blood is not Wei Shumin's, who is it? What secret is hidden behind it?
