On December 25, 2003, a horrific unsolved case occurred in the Wulanchabuhar area of the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.
When a local family prepared to bury their recently deceased mother in their father's grave according to local customs, they found that there was another nameless white bone in their father's grave, and the family quickly called the police in panic.
After some investigation, several people in the area who met the conditions for disappearance were excluded, and the grassland white bone case fell into a bottleneck for a while.
The mother was buried but saw the bones of the nameless body
In December 2003, the Sanchi family, who lived in the Ulanqabhar area, had just experienced the separation of their relatives, and Sanchi's mother died of illness; Sanchi and several brothers began to consider their mother's burial after taking care of their mother's funeral.
According to their local customs, the wife is buried with her husband after death, although in recent years this custom has gradually been forgotten and diluted by many people, but Sanchi's mother specially confessed to the brothers before leaving, indicating that she wanted to be buried with her husband, And Sanchi and several brothers could only choose to obey their mother's wishes and prepare to bury their parents together.
On December 23, when the weather was clear and cloudless, Sanchi and his brothers came to their father's grave with hoes, shovels and other tools, and after burning paper money and prostrating their heads for their father, the brothers began to dig up their father's grave.
But it didn't take long for Sanchi's shovel to touch something similar to clothes and fabrics, and several people continued to dig down, and finally dug out this thing that did not know what it was.
From the outside, this is a black ordinary cloth bag, but when he buried his father, he obviously did not bury this cloth bag, so where did this cloth bag come from?
At the first sight of the cloth bag, the first reaction of the brothers was that the father's tomb had been stolen, and the cloth bag must have been left by the tomb robbers.
Thinking of this, Sanqi and his brothers' hearts were cold, and they quickly dug up underneath to see if their father's bones were still there, and the cloth bag was directly ignored by the brothers and thrown aside.
After more than an hour of non-stop excavation, the father's coffin was finally revealed, and from the outside, the coffin did not appear to be damaged, and the coffin lid was no different from the burial, and it was completely invisible as if it had been pried open.
When Sanchi saw the appearance of the coffin, his heart gradually relaxed, but he still opened the coffin to confirm that his father's bones were indeed still lying quietly in the coffin, and there were many funerary goods around him.
At this point, it was finally confirmed that his father's tomb had not been stolen, and the brothers' hanging hearts were also released.
However, since there is no problem with the father's tomb, what happened to the cloth bag buried in the father's grave?
With curiosity, Sanchi opened the black cloth bag, and the creepy scene inside the cloth bag frightened the brothers a lot, because inside the cloth bag was a scattered white bone, wrapped in several blood-stained clothes, although it was under the sunny day, the brothers were still scared out of a cold sweat.
After calming down, Sanchi and his brothers did not dare to dispose of the white bone without permission, so they called the police, and the burial of their parents was also suspended.
A comprehensive screening of missing persons was initiated
The police who received the report quickly arrived at the scene, and Sanchi described the whole thing to the police, and after making a rough judgment of the case, the police returned to the police station with the white bone and began to analyze the case.
After forensic examination, there were more than a dozen knife wounds on the white bone body, mainly distributed at the junction of the joints and body parts, and the entire body had been split, which was obviously a homicide, and the body of the deceased was dismembered.
Through the test of the bones of the deceased, it was concluded that the height of the deceased was about one meter and seven meters, and the time of death was about 25-35 years old, and the time of death had exceeded 5 years.
The police further investigated and judged the clothes in the cloth bags.
These clothes are all brand-name brands, valuable, indicating that the deceased's family is relatively well-off, which is relatively rare in the Hal area, on the other hand, the deceased's insoles are hand-sewn, and the pattern inside is a local unique pattern.
Therefore, the police concluded that the deceased was a local young man who was about 1.7 meters tall, had a good family background, and disappeared 5-10 years ago.
The area was already sparsely populated, there were not many villages, and with so many features, the police quickly narrowed the scope of the investigation after some visits and investigations, focusing on the 2 missing men.
They match almost all of the information of the deceased, and now just find their families, investigate and exclude them.
The first missing man was named Liang Bing.
He is a villager in the nearby village of Hakusan who disappeared in the winter of 1998 at the age of 30.
However, because his parents died when he was very young, and there were no relatives or friends at home, the police found a little information about Liang Bing after many visits and investigations.
According to the villagers, Liang Bing is a sheep in the village, and his parents did not leave him any money when he left, so he has been living a very hard life, but although there is no money, but the dress is very exquisite, because of family reasons, Liang Bing has not married a wife, always living alone.
Later, Liang Bing met a person named Li Zhengqi in the village, and the relationship was good, and after a long time, Li Zhengqi saw that he had been alone, so he often invited him to dinner at home.
To the back, Li Zhengqi went out to work, leaving his wife alone at home, and I don't know whether Liang Bing took the initiative to come to the door, or Li Zhengqi's wife took the initiative to invite, even if Li Zhengqi was not at home, Liang Bing did not have the slightest intention of avoiding suspicion, and often went to Li Zhengqi's home for dinner at both ends of the three days.
After this, two people's gossip soon came out of the village, saying that Liang Bing and Li Zhengqi's wife were getting along.
Later, this word reached Li Zhengqi's ears, so he rushed from the field in a hurry and vowed to clean up Liang Bing, and the neighbor said that Li Zhengqi and Liang Bing quarreled fiercely that day, and if they were not stopped, they would definitely fight.
It is said that Li Zhengqi also made harsh remarks to Liang Bing, saying that he wanted to "kill" him.
What everyone did not expect was that Liang Bing really disappeared since then, even the clothes and daily necessities at home were still there, but the people were gone, and they never appeared in the village again, and as for whether Liang Bing was alive or dead, whether he was killed by Li Zhengqi, the villagers had no way of knowing.
The police also found Li Zhengqi himself and asked him about the beginning and end of the incident, and his description was similar to that of the villagers, but he said that he was completely unaware of Liang Bing's disappearance, saying that he only frightened him when he wanted to "kill" him.
The police could not find any evidence of Li Zhengqi's murder, and could only give up the interrogation of Li Zhengqi.
Unable to find Liang Bing himself, the police could only find a way to bring up the DNA of Liang Bing's parents and compare it with the DNA of the deceased, and it turned out that this person was not Liang Bing at all.
Later, after many investigations, Liang Bing was finally found in the field.
It turned out that he was really worried that Li Zhengqi was not good for him, so he fled from Inner Mongolia to a foreign country overnight, and changed his name, and has been outside until now.
The first missing man was ruled out, and the police almost determined that the other man was the deceased.
As a result, the police launched a non-stop investigation into the second missing man.
The second man, Wang Dazhuang, like Liang Bing, was 30 years old and disappeared in 1998.
It is understood that Wang Dazhuang married a woman surnamed Hao in Laolongwan Village in 1995, but after marriage, Wang Dazhuang often abused his wife, and the two families quarreled for this matter for an unknown number of times, and finally this marriage did not last long and ended in failure.
After the divorce, the Hao family woman soon remarried, but Wang Dazhuang refused to let go of his ex-wife, repeatedly came to his ex-wife's house to make trouble, saying that he wanted to remarry his ex-wife, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the Hao family and the Hao family's woman's husband's family, and there were many quarrels between several of them.
In the winter of 1998, after drinking a little wine, Wang Dazhuang came to Hao's house again to find trouble, and according to onlookers, it was a very fierce day, and the Hao family kept hearing the sound of falling things and crying.
However, since that day, Wang Dazhuang has never come to the Hao family, or even appeared in the vicinity, so everyone has privately discussed that the Hao family has "killed" Wang Dazhuang.
But after all, these are the speculations and rumors of the masses, without any evidence, so the police went to Hao's house to understand the situation, and Hao's father said: "How dare we kill people, Wang Dazhuang went to Baotou with his parents." ”
Therefore, the police rushed to Baotou to investigate the matter, but after a period of investigation, they did not find any clues about Wang Dazhuang and his parents, and the family seemed to disappear out of thin air.
While the police were at a loss, a distant relative of Wang Dazhuang provided clues to the police.
According to relatives, Wang Dazhuang did go to Baotou with his parents, but soon after arriving in Baotou, Wang Dazhuang had a car accident and died a long time ago, and then Wang Dazhuang's parents also left Baotou and went to live in other places.
According to the guidance of relatives, the police finally found Wang Dazhuang's parents, they confirmed the cause of Wang Dazhuang's death, the police also took the DNA sample of Wang Dazhuang's parents, after comparison, found that the white bone was indeed not Wang Dazhuang.
The two most suspicious men were ruled out, and there were no missing people in the area who matched the characteristics of the deceased, so that the prairie white bone case suddenly became a suspense case, which troubled the local police for a long time.
For several months, the police visited all the villages within a radius of tens of kilometers from Sanchi's father's grave, but still found nothing, and they could no longer find the next missing person who met the conditions of the bones.
And just when the police were at a loss and had no clue, a feng shui master pointed out the direction for them.
The investigation reached an impasse, and the feng shui master pointed the way with one sentence
On this day, the police were checking the surrounding villages according to the usual practice, and when the police comrades came to a village closest to the burial site, there stood an old man with some strange clothes at the entrance of the village. ”
At that time, when the police comrades heard it, they immediately felt a little unusual, and quickly asked the old man: "Old man, why do you ask so much?" ”
The old man smiled and said, "Isn't it the younger son of Liu Youfu's family?" I know it's him, he's been missing for years, go check it out. ”
Before the police could ask the police about the reason, the old man walked away on his own and ignored the police comrades' questions.
Several policemen are still a little confused, not only can not figure out where the old man came from, nor do they believe that the investigation of missing people will be missed, and the Liu family has obviously inquired about it, whether it is their own family or the neighbors around them, they have not reflected that there are missing people in their homes.
However, in the principle of prudence, they preferred to believe that they had no credibility, so they went to the Liu family to understand the situation.
After arriving at Liu Youfu's home, the group made clear their intentions and began to ask Liu Youfu about his son.
According to Liu Youfu, he had a total of four sons, because the family was poor at that time, it was really impossible to raise so many children, so the younger son was born to a family in Shanxi for adoption.
In the next twenty years, the two families have not been in contact, and Liu Youfu's family has even gradually forgotten the son who sent it out, until suddenly one day the son who had been sent out for many years suddenly found back.
According to Liu Youfu, his adoptive parents told the younger son about his origins, so the younger son came to him, went home and recognized his relatives, and changed his name to Liu Yonghong.
When asked about the whereabouts of his younger son, Liu Youfu was obviously a little flustered, and told the police: "Later, after living at home for a few years, we let him go back to Shanxi, after all, the family raised him, and we can't stay with him like this." He never came back after he left and we didn't contact him again. ”
Liu Youfu's panicked look did not hide from the police, after leaving the Liu family, the police began to ask the surrounding villagers about this matter, the villagers said that they all know about his young son, "We also asked Liu Youfu, he said that the younger son went back to Shanxi, we also felt reasonable, did not think much, but the time he left was indeed 1998." ”
This makes sense, the villagers have always thought that Liu Yonghong has returned to Shanxi, naturally they will not report him to the police as a missing person, so has Liu Yonghong already returned to the home of his adoptive parents in Shanxi as Liu Youfu said?
The police comrades who investigated the case returned to the police station and immediately contacted the police station in Shanxi, asking them to help contact Liu Yonghong and his adoptive parents, but the reply he received two days later was: "Liu Yonghong has not returned since returning to Inner Mongolia." ”
This son finally has an eyebrow, Liu Youfu's family has a problem!
Therefore, the police once again came to Liu Youfu's home, took Liu Youfu's DNA, and compared it with the DNA of the nameless white bone, and the results showed that the two people were father and son, and the nameless corpse in the cloth bag was Liu Yonghong.
With the test results, the police comrades once again found Liu Youfu, and this time Liu Youfu did not hide it anymore and said the situation of that year.
The prairie white bone case has finally come to light
According to Liu Youfu, Liu Yonghong was not a good child, he left the home of his adoptive parents in Shanxi because his adoptive parents' family was relatively poor, and after coming to his biological parents' home, Liu Yonghong did not restrain his nature at all, he ate and did lazy at home, smoked, drank and gambled, and also spent three years in prison for theft.
However, after coming out of prison, Liu Yonghong still did not repent, he did not dare to steal money, he forced his parents to ask for money, if their parents did not give it, they would be beaten by Liu Yonghong, while beating back and cursing their parents for abandoning themselves.
Speaking of this, Liu Youfu and his wife are also old tears.
This life lasted until the winter of 1998, when Liu Yonghong returned home drunk again, and as soon as he entered the house, he wanted to do something to Liu Youfu, but accidentally tripped over the stove and fell to the ground and fainted.
At this time, Liu Youfu suddenly had the idea of killing this unfilial son in his heart, and this idea became more and more intense, and finally Liu Youfu made up his mind to strangle his son Liu Yonghong with his hand.
"I was also very uncomfortable at that time, after all, this is my own son, but we really can't stand it, if he doesn't die, we will be tortured to death by him." Liu Youfu cried.
Afterwards, Liu Youfu called the other three sons and told them about his killing of the fourth elder, and although the sons were shocked and scared, they all knew that Liu Yonghong was very bad for his parents, so he helped his father hide it.
In the end, in order to hide their eyes and ears, they decided to divide Liu Yonghong's body into several pieces, put it in a cloth bag, find a grave to bury, and then say to the outside world that Liu Yonghong had returned to Shanxi.
Their plan did work, and the villagers had no doubts about Liu Yonghong's disappearance, and if it were not for the accidental discovery of the Sanqi brothers, Liu Yonghong's body might have been buried deep in the ground.
However, Skynet was restored without leakage, and even if Liu Yonghong made a big mistake first, it would not be Liu Youfu's turn to sanction him.
The suffering of Liu Youfu's family is indeed worthy of sympathy, but family affection cannot override the law, and Liu Youfu's practice has committed the crime of deliberately killing others, and finally has been punished by the law.
Considering that Liu Youfu was the one who killed him under personal threat and was old, he was finally sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Before going to prison, someone asked Liu Youfu: "If you choose again, will you still kill him?" ”
Liu Youfu was silent for a long time and said: "I only regret giving him to others for foster care, if we had taken him with us since childhood, his ending might have been different, I am sorry for him." ”
In this way, the grassland corpse case that had caused the police station a headache for nearly a year finally came to an end.
However, there is another thing that has always puzzled the comrades in the police station, that is, the old man who has disappeared the young son of Liu Youfu's family.
Where did he come from? How did he know that Liu Yonghong had been missing for several years?
With such a question, the comrades of the police station finally went to visit once, according to the local villagers, the old man is a feng shui master, usually the dragon does not see the tail after seeing, the villagers usually have a hard time seeing him.
This is all the information gathered about the feng shui master, and the villagers said that he deduced that he knew about Liu Yonghong's disappearance.
And the truth of this matter may only be known to him.
