On October 12, 2004, Li Yuting, a 13-year-old girl in a class of Xiangyang Middle School in Huozhou City, Linfen, Shanxi Province, did not come to class for 5 days after asking the teacher for leave.
Although Li Yuting said that her father had a car accident and needed to go home to visit when she asked the class teacher for leave 5 days ago, 5 days later, there was no news at all, which made the class teacher very surprised, after all, pulling down the 5-day course, it was difficult to make up for it.
With an inquiring mind, the class teacher called Li Yuting's parents, but the answer on the other end of the phone surprised the class teacher, Li Yuting's father did not have a car accident at all, and she never went home.
At this time, the class teacher and Li Yuting's parents realized that it was not good and immediately called the police.
But Li Yuting has disappeared for 5 days, and there is no clue for a while and a half, what to do? They took the most stupid approach, one grade at the school, one class of inquiries, to find a clue, not to mention, after nearly 10 hours of inquiry, they really let them find the witnesses at the time.
The witness, a classmate of Li Yuting's, said that on the day of Li Yuting's leave, she spoke to a woman in a mine near their home, and although she did not know what the woman's name was, she was sure that it was the person in their mine.
From the mouth of this classmate, the police knew the approximate physical characteristics of the woman, and finally locked the suspect - Tang Sumei, a woman who set up a stall to sell vegetables at a certain intersection.
But when the police rushed to go, Tang Sumei did not set up a stall, and after inquiry, it was found that Tang Sumei also did not go out of the stall from October 8th, that is, the day Li Yuting disappeared.
Experience told the police that Li Yuting's disappearance must be related to this Tang Sumei, so Tang Sumei was summoned, without much effort, Tang Sumei explained it in one go, and Li Yuting's whereabouts made the police who were accustomed to seeing the wind and waves shudder.
Tang Sumei, a native of Hongdong County, Shanxi, primary school culture, her husband is a civil servant, but she has no serious job without education, she can only set up stalls to sell vegetables, subsidize the family, although the life in the village is still OK, but Tang Sumei is not satisfied, always want to make a lot of money.
Once, by chance, she heard that someone had killed a child and that the body had been sold for 50,000 yuan.
Originally, in the countryside of Shanxi, there is a custom, that is, to marry with the dark, whose family is not married to the man accidentally died, in order not to let him be lonely in the underworld, but also in order not to let him "in the next life" is a lonely family, the general conditions of the family, will find a female corpse, with a "yin marriage".
This "yin marriage" ah, and the yang wedding is very similar, the man's family is also to give a certain "bride price", at that time, thirty or fifty thousand range, now, I am afraid that it needs more than 100,000, the bride price between the yang is also almost inseparable, and "a woman is difficult to seek.".
The yang business is called the matchmaker, the underworld business is called the "dark medium", the commission of talking into a single is not less than that of the matchmaker, as little as one or two thousand, more than fifty or sixty thousand, hearing this, Tang Sumei was moved, and wanted to do this thing to make money.
In order to find out the market, Tang Sumei called her brother-in-law, saying that she had a female corpse in her hand and asked him to help inquire about people.
Soon, the brother-in-law helped him find a buyer, Tang Sumei directly said that he wanted 20,000, and the brother-in-law responded with a mouthful.
But as the day of asking for the female corpse is getting closer and closer, Tang Sumei has no one in her hand, what to do?
20,000 yuan made Tang Sumei's heart darken, and she hit her daughter's school.
On October 8, she came to Xiangyang School, saw Li Yuting just went downstairs to fetch water, and lied to Li Yuting that her father had a car accident because she was the mother of a classmate, Li Yuting did not suspect it, took a leave and followed Tang Sumei out of the school, and then boarded a car to Linfen.
Afraid that Li Yuting would find a situation on the road, Tang Sumei gave her a bottle of mineral water with more than twenty sleeping pills, but Li Yuting, who was worried about her father, did not fall asleep, and in the case of Li Yuting's delirium, Tang Sumei fed her more than a dozen sleeping pills.
But I don't know if the sleeping pills that Tang Sumei bought are too fake, or Li Yuting's vitality is too tenacious, more than 30 sleeping pills to eat, still clear consciousness, a horizontal heart, Tang Sumei gave Li Yuting a sedative ...
Soon, the two arrived in Linfen and found a hotel to stay, but at 12 o'clock at night, Tang Sumei found that Li Yuting was not dead, and it was immediately time for "delivery", if the buyer knew that he was using this way to provide the female corpse to others, he must not want it, what to do?
For 20,000 yuan, Tang Sumei, who had lost her humanity, found a belt and directly strangled the girl to death.
At the beginning of the interrogation, Tang Sumei still refused to tell the truth, saying that when she was buying vegetables, she met a Shaanxi person, it was she and the Shaanxi people who abducted and sold Li Yuting, as for Li Yuting's whereabouts, only this Shaanxi person knew.
According to this clue, the police investigated near the coal mine for 2 days, and then ran to Shaanxi to investigate, and found that the person Tang Sumei said did not have time to commit the crime at all.
Immediately after, the police intensified the interrogation, and Tang Sumei said that he and Fu Laowu, a lover of Linfen, did it together, so the police went to Linfen non-stop and arrested Fu Laowu, and as a result, when they arrived in Linfen, Fu Laowu warmly received the police comrades and told them that he and Tang Sumei had not been in contact for five or six years.
Twice by Tang Sumei teased, delayed a lot of time, and a minute late to find Li Yuting, she is more dangerous, so the police once again increased the intensity of interrogation, finally, Tang Sumei can not hold back, told the truth.
At this time, the police learned that Li Yuting had been killed by Tang Sumei and sold to a villager named Zhang Engui in Mamu Village, Hongdong County, because his 14-year-old son had accidentally lost his life and was in urgent need of a secret marriage.
The police who got the news immediately rushed to Ma Mu Village and opened the tomb of Zhang Engui's son, only to see that there were 2 corpses lying in the tomb, one, wearing red clothes, was Zhang Engui's son who died unexpectedly, the body had decayed very badly, and the other body was Li Yuting, who the police were looking for, and the body had also begun to decompose.
At this time, 12 days have passed since Li Yuting's parents reported the crime, and in these 12 days, Li Yuting's mother did not close her eyes once, and when she learned that her daughter had died, she completely collapsed, and at that time, she had only one thought: "I want to watch her (Tang Sumei) die!" ”。
For 20,000 yuan, strangling a 13-year-old girl in a frenzy, such a crime is extremely heinous, does Li Yuting have a reason to live? Soon she was shot, but Li Yuting would never survive.
In fact, like Tang Sumei, the case of killing people and selling corpses is not an isolated case, in 2004, "Shenhan" Lin × killed 10 people in a row and sold corpses for profit; in 2013, Wang Hairong of Yan'an killed pregnant women to sell corpses; in 2016, Ma Chonghua killed 2 women to sell corpses...
Pile by pile, piece by piece, all of them are frightening, for this kind of incident, in fact, it is not difficult to contain, that is, to completely break the bad habit of "secret marriage", after all, there is no sale, there is no killing.
