24 years ago, the beautiful girl was gang-raped and killed on her way home from the night shift and threw her body into the cotton field.
The police inquired for many years but there was no result, and they did not expect that the criminals were "hidden" in prison.
After many years, the girl's parents have become old people with flower armor, and they have long been hopeful about solving the case, but they have been informed that the criminals have found it.
And although the criminal found it, but it passed the statute of limitations, did he want to evade legal responsibility?
The so-called legal net is restored without leakage.
Many perpetrators are lucky, thinking that they can escape the punishment of the law by escaping the prosecution period.
But as long as it violates the law and commits crimes, it will bear legal responsibility.
No matter when you flee, you will one day be brought to justice.
Gao Mouliang, 44, in Anhui, is like this.
He was serving his sentence in Shushan Prison in Hefei, but was told that the Jiangsu police were going to take him away.
At this time, Gao Mouliang's face immediately became ugly when he heard it, because he did not expect that the crime he had concealed for more than twenty years would still be found out by the police.
In 1996, Gao Mouliang, his brother Gao Mouyuan and cousin Gao Mouping went to Work in Dapo Town, Yangyang, Jiangsu Province.
Because there were many brick and tile factories in Dabo Town at that time, migrant workers like them from other places grabbed a lot of them.
Originally, the three people wanted to make a lot of money, but the work in the brick and tile factory was hard and tiring, and the wages were very low.
The three of them could not bear this hardship, so they planned not to do it, and prepared to go to Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, to try their luck.
After all, it was catching up with the tide, and the economy was developing rapidly, and maybe the three of them could also operate from time to time.
Although the three people thought very well, when they touched their pockets, the money on their bodies was not enough for the travel expenses.
So the three of them twisted their brains and wanted to collect road fees through illegal crimes.
Originally, the three of them were planning to make some money by petty theft.
But on July 30, 1996, it is also June 15 of the lunar calendar.
Just as the three of them were discussing things while walking on the road, they suddenly saw someone riding a bicycle in the distance.
Because the moon was big and bright at that time, they saw a very beautiful girl riding a bicycle, and she was dressed very fashionably.
She wears a white dress and a white hat with a bow.
He wears gold earrings on his watch and a white pearl necklace.
As soon as Gao Mouliang and the three of them saw the girl, they immediately couldn't walk.
Gao Mouyuan immediately stepped forward to greet him and pretended to ask for directions.
The girl was kind-hearted, and without thinking much about it, she stopped.
But I didn't expect that Gao Mouyuan pulled the girl's bicycle, and Gao Mouping also understood the meaning of Gao Mouyuan and rushed over to hug the girl.
At this time, the beautiful girl realized that the three people in front of her were not good people, and she wanted to shout for help, but Gao Mouping covered her mouth and couldn't shout out at all.
Then the three of them took the girl hostage and pulled her to a small road next to it, and then the beastly hair began to take turns to sexually assault the girl.
You can imagine how helpless this girl's heart was at that time.
Afterwards, Gao Mouliang carried the bicycle and hid in the grass more than ten meters away.
But when he returned, he did not expect that the mad Gao Mouyuan and Gao Mouping had strangled the girl to death.
Because Gao Mouping said that he had been to the girl's village before and had seen the girl.
If he let her go, he would definitely report it, and when the time came, none of the three grasshoppers on a rope would be able to run away.
So it killed the girl.
After killing the man, the three people did not have the slightest remorse, but instead snatched the valuable jewelry and watch from the girl, and then hid the body in the cotton field in the distance.
Gao Mouliang and the three knew that they had committed a big crime, so they walked along the railway, climbed on the train to the highway, and took the bus back to their hometown.
At that time, the three of them thought that no one knew who was unaware, and no one could find out that they had done it.
And this girl's name is Xu Ting, just twenty years old.
Although she is a rural girl, Xu Ting has been a good tutor since she was a child, and she is also very standard, and she is a beautiful girl who is famous in the local area.
At that time, she was working as a quality inspector in a chemical factory not far away, and her home was in a village not far away.
It is only three kilometers from the factory to the village.
She didn't know how many times she had walked on the cement road in front of her, but she didn't expect to be killed by three men here.
That night, the father at home did not see his daughter come home.
He also had a premonition that something bad was happening, so he quickly called his wife up and called the factory.
The factory told them that Xu Ting had already returned home and was not in the factory.
The couple kept looking along the road, but they couldn't find their daughter.
So before dawn, I went to the Dabo Town police station to report the case.
After receiving the report, the police attached great importance to it and organized the community village committee to start looking for someone.
On the other hand, the police have also begun to investigate.
But after all, Xu Ting has just disappeared, and the police cannot characterize it as a murder case for the first time.
They also use the missing as a direction to find Xu Ting's whereabouts.
They thought of two possibilities, one is that Xu Ting took the initiative not to go home, perhaps she ran away or eloped; the other is that she was forced to go home and would not be abducted.
But through investigation, the police ruled out both possibilities.
First, because Xu Ting's tutoring is good, she usually never stays homeless at night. It is unlikely that you will voluntarily run away from home or even contact your family.
She also talked about a boyfriend at that time, but the boyfriend was at home that night, and he didn't know where Xu Ting went, so it wouldn't be elopement.
And after so many days, no one contacted Xu Ting's home and asked for ransom.
The Xu family and Xu Ting did not usually have a vendetta against anyone, so the possibility of hijacking was not very likely.
At that time, the police made a mistake, after all, they did not see anyone alive, they did not see a corpse, and they had no basis for investigating the case.
However, according to years of experience in handling cases, the police also feel that the situation is not optimistic, and Xu Ting is likely to be killed.
Not long after, the discovery of a villager also confirmed the police's speculation.
A local villager was working in the cotton fields when he was suddenly startled because he found a body in the field.
When the police arrived at the scene, they found clothes, shoes, and a bicycle under the field not far away.
So I informed Xu Ting's parents to come and identify it, and sure enough, it was Xu Ting.
Seeing the tragic situation of their daughter, Xu Ting's parents were saddened.
And the police also told her parents that Xu Ting was strangled to death after being sexually assaulted.
The police determined that it was a homicide caused by robbery and rape.
This made Xu Ting's parents unable to accept it, and it almost collapsed.
The murderer committed such a crime, and seeing Xu Ting's heartbroken parents, the Danyang police were determined to bring the murderer to justice.
But the police have very few clues, only four fingerprints taken from the bicycle.
However, the police are still actively investigating the case.
Through analysis, the police believe that there should be two or three murderers, and it is very likely that they were injured.
The crime site is not far from the village where Xu Ting lives, and the chances of local people committing crimes are not large.
Therefore, outsiders are regarded as the first target of investigation.
These include migrant workers, especially workers in brick and tile factories, as well as outsiders who visit relatives and friends.
So the Danyang Municipal Public Security Bureau used all the police forces at its disposal, and more than 100 police officers began a carpet investigation.
As long as suspicious people are found, fingerprints are removed, sent back to the police station, and experts can compare them, which requires hundreds of copies a day.
If this thing is placed in the present, it may not be a difficult task, and it will not be used for a day.
But more than twenty years ago, fingerprint comparison, all rely on manpower, so the workload is very large.
But to the disappointment of the police, after comparison, none of the fingerprints matched the fingerprints of the crime scene.
However, the police locked in the two groups of people who were the most suspected. One is Sun Ming, a local, and the other is five migrant workers from Lichuan, Hubei Province, who have suddenly left the area.
However, the five Hubei Lichuan people were excluded one by one, while Sun Ming's whereabouts were unknown.
The police believe that it is very likely that the suspect is him, so they visited all the places where Sun Ming could go.
The scope of the investigation is also expanding, but there is no result for a long time.
So the police went to a dead end.
Is this case really unsolvable?
Xu Ting died tragically, and her family was sad.
If the police can't find out, how to comfort Xu Ting's spirit in heaven? And how to soothe the pain of her parents? And they are sorry for the glory of the older generation of criminal investigators.
Therefore, the Danyang police did not give up, they narrowed the scope of investigation, and regarded fingerprints as the key to solving the case.
Every subsequent year, the Danyang police will send someone to take the fingerprints extracted on the bicycle that year and compare them with various places.
If there is no result in one year, it will be two years; if there is no result in two years, it will be three years and four years, and it has been insisted on for more than twenty years.
With so many years passing, science and technology are advancing, and criminal investigation methods are constantly being updated.
Although hope is becoming less and less, it is more convenient for the Danyang police to solve the case.
At the beginning of 2020, the Danyang police finally ushered in a major breakthrough.
At that time, the Danyang police re-sorted the clues of Xu Ting's case, corrected the four fingerprints taken that year using new technology, and then compiled them into the fingerprint library to compare with all the fingerprints.
This is many times more efficient than using fingerprint cards one by one to compare them.
Eventually, they found a fingerprint that bore a striking resemblance to a fingerprint from a crime scene.
Therefore, the Danyang police, who have been looking for so many years, are very excited, and they finally see a glimmer of hope to solve the case.
However, the police are very strict, just "similar", can not be used as evidence.
Nervously, they took out the original fingerprint card from the case and compared it more carefully.
This time it took a whole day, and after repeated comparisons by danyang police, they determined that the two fingerprints were consistent.
And this fingerprint is also Gao Mouliang, one of the perpetrators of the crime that year.
And to the surprise of the Danyang police, Gao Mouliang is serving a sentence in Hefei Shushan Prison.
Because after killing Xu Ting, Gao Mouliang and his brother Gao Mouyuan continued to do evil and hurt others.
From 2003 to 2005, the two of them ganged up with others in Anhui Province, and committed multiple rapes.
And the nature is very bad, and the violations are all minors.
For people like them, they must be punished by the law, otherwise they don't know how many people will be hurt.
Later, they were caught by the local police, and the court also gave a verdict.
His brother Gao was sentenced to death, while he was sentenced to a suspended death sentence and later commuted to life imprisonment for his good performance in prison.
After learning of this situation, the Danyang police were more convinced of the initial speculation that it was a number of people who committed the crime at that time, and Gao Mouyuan was likely to be his accomplice.
So the Danyang police immediately felt Shushan Prison and escorted Gao Mouliang back to Danyang.
Gao Mouliang, who learned of this matter, knew that Xu Ting's case occurred in the east window of that year.
But he could not have imagined that more than twenty years had passed, and the police were still pursuing the case, and he could still be found.
Therefore, he did not hide the slightest bit, and confessed all the things that happened that year.
The police also learned that the last suspect was Gao Mouping.
So he immediately began to track down Gao Mouping.
What can disappoint the Danyang police is that in 2017, Gao Mouping died accidentally in the bathroom.
Of the three people who committed unforgivable crimes against Xu Ting, one had been executed and one had died unexpectedly, leaving only one alive to serve his sentence.
Perhaps this is an old folk saying: good and evil will eventually be repaid, not unreported, and the time has not yet come.
But the Danyang police are very worried, although they have exposed Gao Mouliang's crimes, but more than twenty years have passed, has long passed the statute of limitations, will he still be punished by the law?
Our country will not spare a bad person, nor will it wrongfully accuse a good person.
In a case as heinous as Gao Mouliang's, as long as it is approved by the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the statute of limitations will not affect the conviction and sentencing.
After more than twenty years, the Danyang police finally gave Xu Ting's parents an explanation.
When they learned of this, they wept bitterly, and the murderer of their daughter was finally found.
This may be the greatest comfort for the deceased and the living.
And Gao Mouliang's case also shows that people should not do evil, let alone have a fluke mentality, because the legal net is restored and not leaked!
