Every child is the heart and soul of the parent. Who doesn't want his child to grow up healthy? It is in this kind of affectionate feelings that human beings get a continuation.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, people have good fortune, and children's growth cannot be smooth sailing. In South Korea, there was an appalling case in which five children went missing when they went into the mountains to catch the salamander .
South Korea mobilized 320,000 people up and down to search the mountain, but did not find the trace of 5 children.
Eleven years later, when the bodies of the 5 children were found, the remains were piled together and crushed by a large stone, revealing a strange atmosphere. The real cause of their death has also become a mystery. This is the famous " " case in Daegu, South Korea, in the history of Korea.
The child of the mountain
In March 1991, Daegu, South Korea, this city known as the "Korean stove" entered the fiery atmosphere ahead of schedule, in order to welcome the election of local council members for the first time in 30 years. , The city announced a day off. Adults do not need to go to work and children do not have to go to school. Rarely idle South Korean adults greeted their friends, walked the streets and alleys, and started a carnival.
The school is off. The happiest thing is of course the children. The six children who live near Wolong Mountain got together early and they met to enter Wolong Mountain to catch a local species called "salamander" animal.
Salamanders are fire salamanders. This kind of striped freshwater amphibian likes to hide in the crevices of dead wood. When someone ignites these dead woods, the fire salamander will emerge from the crevices, just like crawling out of flames. The same as the beast. Therefore, children like to catch these little animals. Later, people misrepresented the disappearance of the five children as they went to the mountains to catch frogs, so this incident was called the "missing frog boy".
The six children are Kim Jong-sik, Park Can-in, Zhao Hao-yan, Woo Zhe-won, and Kim Tae-sung.Jin Taisheng. Among them, the oldest is 13 years old and the youngest is only 9 years old.
The six people just walked out of the village and happened to meet Jin Taisheng's mother. Mother said to Kim Tae-sung: "It's about to eat soon, don't run around!"
Jin Taisheng waved goodbye to his friends and followed his mother home glumly. Unexpectedly, this action saved his life.
The remaining 5 friends walked along the mountain road and got into Wolong Mountain. Wolong Mountain is just a small hill, not tall. Except for a piece of land that is the live fire base of the 5th Division of the Korean Army, the rest of the mountain is full of woods.
This is not the first time for children to go to Wolong Mountain. This is just their back garden for play, and they will never get lost.
Unexpectedly, after the five children entered the mountain, they never came back, as if they had evaporated out of thin air.
The mammoth search work did not find any abnormalities
When it was evening, smoke began to emerge from the chimneys of every household. Mothers who hadn't seen their children for a day began to worry about the children. When the mother of a missing child was cooking, she suddenly felt an ominous feeling in her heart. She threw down the tableware in her hand and called for her child to come, but did not receive any response.
The mother was in a hurry and began to go from house to house looking for her child who had been missing for a day. Soon, people nearby also found out that her child was missing. The adults of five families gathered together to analyze the possibility of the children. place.
A villager recalled that he had seen five children get into Wolong Mountain. After that, no one else had seen them.
As the twilight descended, the sky was lightly rained and the temperature dropped. More than a dozen parents began to worry about the children's safety. They held a torch, found the flashlight, and decided to go into the mountains to search for the children's whereabouts.
No matter how the parents shouted and searched in the mountains, they never got the response from the children, nor did they find the traces of the children. The ominous feeling is like a boulder.Pressed on the hearts of the parents, they immediately rushed to the police station and reported the case to the police on duty.
According to South Korean law, it takes more than 24 hours for a missing person to file a case. However, the collective disappearance of five children was shocked by the police and joined the army looking for the children.
The villagers braved the light rain, followed behind the police, and conducted a carpet search on the not-wide Wolong Mountain.
When the tired villagers finished their search all night, they still found nothing. They gathered around the five anxious parents, rushing to provide their own opinions, but no one could provide valuable information.
The villagers continued to expand the search area to a large enough area, but the five children disappeared out of thin air, and no one found them again.
nationwide search work
Five children disappeared at the same time, and their lives and deaths are uncertain, which brought huge challenges to the just-concluded congressman election. In order to gain the support of more parliamentarians, these newly elected parliamentarians paid enough attention to the disappearance of their children. Several parliamentarians jointly filed a petition with the South Korean government, asking the state to help find the missing children.
A few days later, news of the child's disappearance reached the then president of Lu Taeyu , and Lu Taeyu of Qingwatai was also very shocked by this and declared that he would find the missing child at all costs.
At the call of the president, the South Korean police and army joined the army searching for missing children, and the number of people involved in the search and rescue reached 320,000. You know, the total number of people in Korea at that time was only 45 million.
At that time, phone booths, stations, streets, and newspapers and magazines all over Korea were filled with photos of missing children. Many people spontaneously joined in and handed out flyers when they met people. South Korea is operating around the disappearance of five children.
The search and rescue personnel centered on Wolong Mountain,The search range has been expanded to a radius of several hundred kilometers. Such a huge search work, but still nothing, these children are missing, just like they never existed, no one knows where they went, and no one knows whether they are still alive.
Wounded parents
As time passed, the whereabouts of the five children remained unaccounted for, and the enthusiasm of the people began to cool down. The police and the army also withdrew from this seemingly unproductive search job, overwhelming. Media reports are gradually being covered up by various current affairs news and economic development information.
Because of this incredible case of missing children, Wolong Mountain has become a forbidden place for many people. Many people nearby retreat to this mountain and dare not go up the mountain easily.
The only thing that is still insisting is the parents of five children and some enthusiastic people, especially the parents of the children. Since their children disappeared, they have not had enough to eat a meal, and they can't sleep well. They open their eyes and close their eyes. All are the smiling faces of children.
They often wake up from their sleep and fall into the panic that their children have been killed. Before they can put on their clothes, they enter Wolong Mountain to call their children. No matter how many searches, there is still no trace of the child.
The father of the missing child, Kim Jong-sik, vowed to find his own child. For this reason, he quit his job. He wanted to find his own child for ten years and found nothing.
This father finally died of liver cancer. Before his death, his last word was to tell his family that he must find the child who disappeared ten years ago.
Ten years have passed. The disappearance of five children has gradually faded out the memories of other people, except for the unhealable pains left to the five families. At this time, the news of the missing children finally came to light.
The child was still in Wolong Mountain
At 6 pm on September 25, 2002,The phone of a newspaper in Daegu, South Korea rang suddenly.
The employee who answered the phone was about to speak when a middle-aged man's voice came over the phone. He said: "Hello, the missing frog boy corpse is buried in a place on Wolong Mountain in Daegu, the buried place is very shallow." After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to respond.
The newspaper employee who answered the call is a staff member who participated in the search for children. After listening to this call, his memory rises and falls like a tide, pulling him back to the grand child search eleven years ago In action.
However, according to the information he has, people at that time have carried out carpet searches on Wolong Mountain more than once, and they have almost reached the level of digging three feet, and there is still no gain. He thought that the call was a prank, and he didn't care, he packed his things and got off work.
The next day, the police from Daegu Police Station received a call from an old man who said that he had found a skeleton on Wolong Mountain.
The old man's words immediately alerted the police, and this is most likely another homicide! The police from Daegu Police Station did not dare to neglect, and immediately organized personnel to go to Wolong Mountain to investigate the case.
When the police arrived, the old man was still at the scene. He said that he often went to the mountain to exercise because he saw that the trees on the mountain were covered with acorns , so he wanted to pick some and take them back. He found an old dress under the tree, and after lifting it up, he found a hole under the dress.
The first police officer to get up immediately sealed off the scene and notified the forensic doctor and more police officers to come to assist.
After the forensic doctor arrived, it was obvious at a glance that the owner of the skeleton had passed away for more than ten years. Another policeman looked through the blue shirt exposed outside the skeleton, which read "Daegu Shengshu Primary School". The policeman immediately linked the skeleton to the disappearance of the frog boy.
The news is like a time bomb, exploding all the social concerns about the disappearance case. The Daegu City Government specially selected prosecutors and staff from the Scientific Research Institute to go to Wolong Mountain.Investigate the case.
Following the position where the skeleton appeared, the remains of other children were quickly found. Eleven years have passed. The children who were alive and kicking at that time have all turned into bones. The parents recognized that the clothes scattered on the scene were the clothes that the children wore when they disappeared. Obviously, the five young frogs had already been killed.
However, there was no breakthrough in the investigation of the case. According to the excavation on the spot, the remains of the five children were stacked together like a stack of arhats, with a huge boulder on top. Their clothes and shoes are scattered around. Children’s teeth were also found near the remains.
What is even more unexpected is that there are some scattered bullet shells around the children.
The disappearance of the truth
There are various signs that the children died of murder. The local police station immediately started the investigation of the case again, and once again invested 20,000 police officers to conduct a comprehensive verification of the previous 200 reports and clues.
No matter how hard they try, the result is the same: the child’s cause of death cannot be figured out, let alone the murderer.
As the investigation deepened, more information was revealed: the limbs of the five children were all tied up with ropes. They were professional, unlike ordinary people, because the style of binding ropes is more like . The tactics of the members of the US Marine Corps.
Several children apparently suffered severe blunt shocks during their lifetime. Jin Zhongzhi's left arm also suffered severe fractures. One child also had a bullet hole caused by a special bullet.
These bullet holes caused some police officers, suspected to be the work of Korean soldiers stationed on Wolong Mountain. However, after investigation, it was found that the troops had no shooting records on the day the child disappeared, and the bullet holes on the child's body were completely different from the firearms used by the South Korean troops.
Some people suspect that the children were crushed under the boulder because of a landslide. However,This argument is simply untenable, because so many people have searched Wolong Mountain, it is impossible to find the landslide, and the injury of the child can also overturn this hypothesis.
No matter what, the cause of the child's death has become a mystery. In any case, the children’s remains were found, and a collective funeral was held for them. They were sent back to the school they had attended before. Their ashes were thrown into Nakdongjiang by their families.
The retrospective period for the Korean murder case is 15 years. If the murderer cannot be caught by 2006, the case will no longer be detected. At this point in time, there was still no progress in the investigation of the case, and the police stopped the investigation. This also means that the truth about the deaths of the five frog teenagers will be buried on Wolong Mountain forever.
This pending case of the disappearance of five teenagers has a wide influence in Korean society. Korean society has also made many movies for this purpose. The more famous ones are: "Go Home, Frog Boy" And "The Children".
There are too many doubts in the whole case, and they have always been the subject of discussion in Korean society: why so many people searched Wolong Mountain and found no trace? What was the motive of the murderer? Why are there bullet shells around them? Why did the murderer tie their hands and feet together?
Everyone, what do you think is the truth of the case?
