Chapter 257 Two strange cases
When Lin Zixiao was checking the file on the "Chemical Poisoning Case of College Girls", Wu Guodong was also making a brief introduction.
He had read this case so many times that he remembered it very clearly.
"This child, what a pity..."
"As you can see from the information, her name is Zhou Xiaoran. She is a native of City C. She has learned piano since she was a child and started learning guqin when she was 15 years old."
"In 1992, Zhou Xiaoran had already shown his talent. He was admitted to City C University and enrolled in Class 2 of Physical Chemistry and Instrumental Analysis in the Department of Chemistry. He was envied by many of his peers."
"Not only that, Zhou Xiaoran is versatile. He joined the University Folk Band in City C and became a main member. In 1994, he won the second prize in the National College Art Performance Solo Group."
"He is even a second-level swimmer in City C."
"pity……"
Wu Guodong sighed.
"I went to their house a few years ago."
"Zhou Xiaoran used to have plenty of food and clothing, but now he is living in a bare house. Some of the walls have peeled off, and the interior is only spartan and even furnished."
"All the furniture together is just chairs, benches and beds. The only exception is the 'bookcase', which is also filled with various medicines."
"The room next door is even simpler, with only a small bed and a hospital bed. The oxygen bottles standing next to it give it a hospital feel. In order to take care of her daughter, Zhou Xiaoran's life has completely changed. It's really miserable."
In Wu Guodong's explanation and combined with the files he had seen, Qi Zixiao had a general understanding of the entire case.
The so-called "Chemical Poisoning Case of College Girls" refers to an incident in which Zhou Xiaoran mysteriously developed symptoms of chemical thallium poisoning while in school, causing great harm to her health. In the end, she was diagnosed and treated with the help of the Internet.
At the same time, this is also China's first attempt to use the Internet for international telemedicine.
Since Zhou Xiaoran had no history of exposure to thallium, the police concluded that it was a poisoning incident. However, after investigation, the case went up and down several times. The murderer is still at large, and there is no clear result yet.
And due to some abnormal behaviors of the police in handling the incident, the Zhou Xiaoran case became a public incident, which led to various speculations about the family background of the suspect.
By April 2013, as the famous FD poisoning case was solved, calls for a thorough investigation of the Zhou Xiaoran case also emerged again, and the former suspect Chen Wei was also widely criticized by public opinion.
Half a month later, a celebrity donated 100,000 yuan to the Zhou Xiaoran Foundation.
In addition, many public figures including digital celebrities and groups also expressed support.
In May of the same year, Weibo officials blocked key words in the case such as "Zhou Xiaoran", "Thallium", and "Chen Wei", and the relevant content was also deleted.
Searching for Zhou Xiaoran’s keywords on Weibo always prompts the words “According to relevant laws, regulations and policies, the search results are not displayed”.
Two days later, the Weibo official responded, stating that it could not be investigated due to the loss of evidence, and that there was no interference in the process, and called on the public to view the case rationally.
In the official response, the police in City C stated that Zhou Xiaoran felt unwell and was hospitalized in December 1994. He was diagnosed with thallium poisoning on April 28, 1995, and reported the case on May 5 of the same year.
Because the interval was close to half a year, although the task force conducted serious investigations, there was no surveillance in the relevant places, and traces of the crime and physical evidence had been lost, so direct evidence to identify the criminal suspect had not yet been obtained.
The police stated that there are indeed some cases that are subject to investigation conditions and cannot be solved due to objective factors such as loss of evidence. They hope that the public will view them rationally and respect the rules of investigation work.
As a result, this case has been shelved for more than twenty years now.
"Is the person still alive?"
Lin Zixiao opened his mouth, feeling a little sad.
"Alive."
Wu Guodong gritted his teeth: "I saw her before when I went there. Unfortunately, the talented and beautiful female college student from Tsinghua University 23 years ago is now severely paralyzed and completely demented. She can't even take care of herself."
"The family that was once happy and well-off has now been dragged down into disarray."
"Tell me, why is this person so bad?"
He sighed: "Unfortunately, we really can't do anything. The time span is too long, and it takes half a year from the time of poisoning to reporting the case. Half a year is enough to erase too much evidence and clues, and it really can't be found."
"At the beginning, all means were exhausted."
"Now...it's more than twenty years apart. If you want to find a solution, you have to rely on your 'science'."
"Ouch?!"
Lin Zixiao was happy: "Now you admit that I am a science about feelings? Did you think you would think that I am a superstitious person?"
“What is not superstitious?”
Wu Guodong spread his hands: "To me now, I don't care about superstition, as long as it is useful, it is science!"
"At most, it is 'science' that cannot be explained by current science. Can we call it a more advanced science?"
He was a little proud: "You said, I use more advanced science to solve cases, and hire you, a person who knows 'more advanced scientific methods', as a scientific consultant, isn't it unscientific?"
Lin Zixiao: "..., science, very scientific! It's simply too scientific."
"right?"
Wu Guodong grinned: "That's what I think. This is indeed very scientific."
"..."
Lin Zixiao felt happy for a while, but then felt sad: "This case is indeed sad."
In the past, a talented woman with both talent and beauty should have had a bright future, but now...
"Can it be broken?"
When talking about the case, Wu Guodong couldn't help but be serious.
"What do you think?"
Lin Zixiao raised his head: "Took it!"
"and this!"
While speaking, she tapped "The Case of the Bizarre Disappearance of Two Persons and a Car" with her finger.
"This case..."
Wu Guodong hesitated: "This case is not easy to solve."
"It's really weird to say that there are two people in a car. It's such a big car. It's not a motorcycle or anything like that. How can you just say it's gone?"
"At that time, almost all the local police were mobilized and a reward was offered. The price was definitely very high for those days, but still no one could provide clues..."
"This is really strange and difficult!"
"I want to see how bizarre it is."
Lin Zixiao said that he does not believe in evil.
Is it not easy? It depends on who you are facing, right?
Immediately, Lin Zixiao studied the file carefully and had a clear understanding of the case.
"The Bizarre Disappearance of Two Persons and One Car" happened one day in 1996.
Guo Baokun and Wang Guoqing, employees of Fendudu Plastic Factory, drove a Santana sedan to a second-hand car market in the city to sell the car.
This was originally a normal thing, and back then, Santana was very proud of it.
But as a result, on that day, the two people and their car disappeared mysteriously, and there has been no whereabouts to this day.
According to the records in the file, the police in charge of the matter at that time invested a lot of manpower and material resources and visited a large number of people in order to find Guo Baokun and Wang Guoqing for more than 20 years, but to no avail.
Guo and Wang were both in their 20s when they disappeared. Their parents were exhausted mentally and physically over the past 21 years.
They promised that if anyone provides valuable clues to the police and helps them solve the case, they will express their gratitude.
The file shows that Guo Baokun, male, Han nationality, was born in May 1971, 1.82 meters tall, with fair skin and yellow teeth. On the day of his disappearance, he was wearing a blue jeans suit, a gray shirt, a brown vest, and brown leather shoes.
Carry with you the salary card from the plastic factory, your ID card and 1,000 yuan in cash.
Wang Guoqing, male, Han nationality, was born on November 24, 1973. He is 1.75 meters tall and relatively fat. On the day of his disappearance, he was wearing a yellow shirt, a police vest, blue jeans, blue pants, and brown leather shoes.
Guo and Wang drove an ordinary Santana sedan with dark gray metallic paint. The sedan has central door locks, automatic glass, and comes with all vehicle procedures. The license plate number is ****25CM.
The engine number and frame number are also clearly recorded.
The file also records that the relevant person in charge of the local branch said that the disappearance of Guo and Wang has not been solved for 21 years. They feel shameless to face the parents and family members of the missing person, and they will never give up the search for the missing person.
By.
The person in charge said: This case is now soliciting clues from the public to solve the case. If anyone can provide the missing person, the whereabouts of the vehicle, or provide clues to solve the case, the bureau will reward RMB 50,000.
The strange thing about this case is that people and cars disappeared together. It is easy to understand that people are missing, and they can be dismembered, buried, etc.
However, it is unbelievable that there are no traces on the car at all. You must know that the investigation is very strict, so it is very difficult to completely leave no traces on the car.
How to deal with the car?
Nothing more than a centralized approach.
For example, drive to other places, bury, burn, cut, squeeze and scrap, throw into lake, etc...
But here comes the problem.
Of course, although there are not so many cameras, it is almost impossible for a car to drive a long distance without anyone noticing.
Therefore, the option of traveling to other places is not very likely, and the police have carefully checked it and can basically rule it out.
So, the remaining disposal method, burial must leave traces, right? For such a big car, the police conducted a comprehensive search at possible burial locations, but still found nothing.
Burning? After the burning, there must not be an iron frame left? There must not be any relevant traces?
For cutting, that thing needs tools and sounds, right?
Moreover, interviews revealed that no similar traces were found among the residents who may have been near the crime scene.
In the lake?
Salvaged!
Squeeze and scrap?
The police also checked the places where there were relevant large appliances, but they failed to find them.
"well!"
Wu Guodong suddenly sighed: "At that time, the conditions were too backward. If it were changed now, I don't believe that we can't find it out. There are surveillance everywhere, and the specific location can be determined very quickly."
Chapter completed!
