The Hong Kong film "Human Meat Char Siu Bun" is adapted from a real case.
The creator of this real case killed a man in Hong Kong in 1973 and set fire to the traces of the scene.
Twelve years later, in 1985, he killed 10 people in a restaurant overnight in Macau (five of them adults, the eldest of whom was 18 years old), this time choosing to shred the bodies.
Had it not been for seaside tourists who spotted human limbs surfacing the case, the case might have become a mystery forever.
In the 80s, surveillance equipment did not appear, and it was difficult for the police to solve the case if there were no witnesses and the body was shredded.
It is worth noting that without his accomplices, it would be difficult for him to subdue 5 adults and 5 children.
But in fact, he broke into the deceased's hotel single-handedly that night.
How did he do it then?
On November 15, 1973, a case occurred at Fu Cheong House in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong, which was a case of homicide and arson and destruction of the scene.
The deceased was a man named Li He.
Li He, 32, worked as a manager at a plastics factory and had a 3-year-old son.
Li and his family of three lived in the same unit as his sister's family at the time. (It can be seen that the economy is not rich).
The murderer is called Chen Ziliang. On the day of the crime, he went to the home of the victim Li He and asked Li He to lend 10,000 money to himself.
In the 70s, 10,000 money was not a small amount.
You know, in the 70s, a 100-square-meter house in Central, Hong Kong, sold for only 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Li He did not have that much cash at that time, so he did not agree to borrow it.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ziliang was furious, he broke the wine bottle in his hand, and then pointed the glass shards at Li and the couple, asking the couple not to make a sound, and also found ropes to bind their hands and feet.
At about 1:30 p.m., Li He's sister Li Baozhen (then 44 years old) came home after shopping for vegetables, and when she took the key to open the door, the door suddenly opened, and it was Chen Ziliang who opened the door, and he calmly said:
"Aunt Bao, you came back just in time, Ah He fainted at home, come in and help the handle!"
Because she knew before, Chen Baozhen didn't think much, she quickly entered the house, but everything in front of her stunned her:
The younger brother and sister-in-law were firmly tied to the dressing table.
Li Baozhen wanted to escape, but Chen Ziliang quickly closed the door, then held a sharp weapon to her throat, ordered her to make a noise, and ordered her to enter the room. Then, tie her hands and feet as well.
At this time, Chen Baozhen heard the conversation outside. Younger brother Li He begged:
"If you want money, I have two thousand yuan to give you right away." Why use force? ”
Chen Ziliang has a tough attitude:
"Hmph! Today you either die or I live!
Call quickly to raise money, I must get 10,000 yuan today! ”
So Chen Ziliang began to dial the phone, put the handset to Li He's ear, and asked him to borrow money from a friend.
But after a few phone calls, none of my friends were willing to lend Li He.
Then, Chen Ziliang had a fierce altercation with Li He.
But after ten minutes, the quarrel stopped,
At this time, Li Baozhen in the room had broken free the rope, and she quietly climbed behind the door of the room. I saw that my sister-in-law was still bound, but my younger brother Li He was missing.
She quickly stepped forward to loosen the rope that bound her sister-in-law.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and Chen Ziliang rushed out from inside.
He stabbed at the two with a sharp weapon, Li Baozhen and his sister-in-law could not dodge, and their bodies were also stabbed, and blood flowed.
Chen Ziliang also pushed the two into the room and closed the door.
Li Baozhen and her sister-in-law were seriously injured and could only stay in the room.
Later, I saw black smoke pouring into the crack of the door of the room, and when I opened the door, I saw that a fire was raging in the living room.
In order to escape, they opened the window and crawled slowly along the flower trellis of the exterior wall to the window of the next household. It just so happened that the neighbor was also at home, and the window was opened to rescue.
Firefighters quickly arrived and they found the body of a man in the bathroom bathtub:
His hands and feet were tied, his eyes were round, and he was drowned.
And the deceased was none other than Li He, the head of the household.
Based on clues provided by the two survivors, police quickly locked onto the target.
The murderer's name was Chan Chi Leung, 42 years old, a native of Zhongshan, relatively strong in size, and his address was a housing estate in Kwun Tong at that time.
He used to run a small sweater factory in Kowloon and had a good life, but then business declined.
And he became addicted to gambling and went into gambling debts.
On the day of the crime, he walked and drank with a bottle of beer, and came to the residence of Li He, who had cooperated with him, ready to borrow money from Li He.
However, he is nominally borrowing money, but in essence, he is asking for money with the attitude of "either you die or I live".
At first, the police claimed that the killer would soon be arrested.
But two months later, the police still haven't found Mr. Chen. Even if the police offered a reward of 5,000 yuan, there was no clue.
In fact, Chen Ziliang's behavior is not "borrowing" at all.
He is holding a sharp weapon to force others to take money to him. It's actually a burglary.
Because the two survivors were eyewitnesses, it was not difficult for the police to solve the case. However, the police have been slow to arrest Chen Ziliang.
Why?
Because soon after the crime, he guessed that the police would come to arrest him. With a cross heart, he cut off the index finger of his left hand with a knife, and then burned his finger with fire,
In this way, the fingerprint of this finger is destroyed.
He changed his name to Wong Chi Heng and fled to Macau by smuggling. Since then, a life in Macau has been invisible.
And Chen Ziliang, for the Hong Kong police, is equivalent to evaporating in the world.
For more than a decade after the case, the Hong Kong police were unable to arrest Chan Ziliang.
And if it weren't for human tissue floating on the beach in Macau, the Hong Kong police might not have been able to arrest him.
At noon on August 8, 1985, people swimming at Hac Sa Beach in Coloane, Macao, found several human body stumps floating in the sea near the shore. Then the police were quickly called.
After receiving the report, the Macao police quickly went to the scene, and after the search and salvage of the marine police, a total of eight human limbs were found:
There are 6 soles and 2 palms.
Of these 6 soles, 4 are right-footed and the other 2 are left-footed.
This shows that this evil stump is at least 4 people's!
The human limbs had begun to decompose, and the police judged that they had been immersed in the sea for at least two days.
At first, the police thought that the stowaways had been attacked by sharks and their feet and hands were bitten off by sharks.
But after careful examination, the medical examiner found that the incisions of these human stump limbs were very neat, not like shark teeth bitten.
And the fingers of the palm seem to be deliberately flattened by a heavy object.
This is presumably done in order to deliberately destroy fingerprints. It is impossible to confirm the identity of the deceased.
An ominous premonition rose in the hearts of the police.
Over the next few days, police continued their search along the shore and found several more pieces of stumped limbs.
Together with the previous 8, there are 11 in total.
It is very rare to find the stump of multiple people in the same place.
The Macao police immediately set up a task force.
But because there were very few clues, there was no monitoring equipment at that time, and the beach was an open space, and the murderer could not find witnesses if he threw the body at night.
This case was suspended for a while, and there was no progress.
First, it is not possible to confirm the identity of the deceased.
Second, the identity of the corpse thrower is not clear.
Third, there are no witnesses.
In April 1986, the Macao Police Department received a letter.
The letter was written by a man who said that his brother Zheng Lin originally ran a hotel in Macau called the Eight Immortals Hotel. My brother has run this hotel for more than 20 years.
After August 1985, it was not possible to contact them. The Eight Immortals Hotel was later taken over by a man surnamed Huang.
He read on the news that human remains had been found on the shores of Coloane, Macau, and he feared that his brother's family might have been killed.
The man also sent the same letter to Interpol in Guangzhou.
After receiving the letter, the Macau police began to investigate the Eight Immortals Hotel and its surroundings.
After visiting, the Macao police learned about the situation of Zheng Lin's family, the original owner of the Eight Immortals Hotel.
Before the disappearance, Zheng Lin, the owner of the Baxian Hotel, was about 50 years old, and his wife Cen Huiyi was 42 years old.
Before opening the Baxian Hotel, Zheng Lin was just a roasted roast vendor, but later he was helped by the owner of the stall selling chicken and duck in the street market, and lent him money to open the restaurant.
In 1973, he married his wife Shum Huiyi and gave birth to four daughters and a son.
According to the neighbors, Zheng Lin is honest and hardworking,
However, his wife loves to play mahjong, often goes to casinos, and is also very concerned about money.
The two have 4 daughters and a son.
The four daughters are 18, 12, 10 and 9 years old.
The youngest son, Zheng Guande, is only 7 years old.
At that time, there was also the mother of the proprietress, who was 70 years old,
There is also the ninth aunt of the proprietres, 60 years old.
The other was the chef of the Baxian Hotel, his name was Zheng Boliang, who was 61 years old.
So, are these found stumpes the 10 people missing from the Eight Immortals Hotel?
The police repeatedly compared the fingerprints and finally found that the fingerprints of a stump were highly similar to the fingerprints of Chen Lizhen, a missing person at the Eight Immortals Hotel.
The police learned from a supplier at the Eight Immortals Hotel:
On the afternoon of August 4, 1985, the owner Zheng Lin called the supplier and asked him to deliver the goods.
The supplier sent a guy to deliver the goods, and Zheng Lin and his wife were still in the store at the time, and did not say that the store would close or change hands.
But the next day, when the guy went to deliver again, he found a notice posted at the door of the Eight Immortals Hotel:
Our shop is closed for 3 days.
He knocked on the door and said he had come to deliver the goods.
At this time, a man he had not seen before opened the door and said that the owner's family had traveled to Zhuhai.
This guy didn't care too much at the time, thinking that this man was some relative of the original shopkeeper Zheng Lin, helping to look at the store.
The police asked the guy to describe what the strange man he saw at the time looked like.
The guy said that the person who opened the door for him on August 5 was Huang Zhiheng, who later took over the Eight Immortals Hotel.
In other words, on August 5, Huang Zhiheng was in the Eight Immortals Hotel.
A neighbor of the missing Chen Lizhen (the ninth aunt of the proprietor's wife, 60 years old at the time) gave the police a clue, she said:
In the early morning of August 5, he saw a man about 30 years old come to Chen Lizhen, saying that Zheng Lin's youngest son had a high fever and asked her to help take care of it.
After that, Chen Lizhen followed the man and left in a taxi.
And since this day, Chen Lizhen has never returned.
(At that time, Huang Zhiheng's son was in his 20s, was it Chen Lizhen who Huang Zhiheng sent his son to pick up?) Most likely! ）
Based on this, the police deduced that the disappearance of the Baxian Hotel should have been after the afternoon of August 4 and the early morning of August 5.
The police began to pay close attention to Huang Zhiheng.
The police found that Zheng Lin's property on Fourth Street in Areia Preta (where he and his family had previously lived) had been rented by Wong Chi-hang.
In another house under Zheng Lin's name, Huang Zhiheng and his son in his 20s live.
Moreover, the car driven by Huang Zhiheng's son is also Zheng Lin's.
Initially, the police went to question Huang Zhiheng and asked if they knew where the original owner's family had gone.
Mr. Huang said the family had emigrated abroad and transferred the hotel to themselves.
The police also asked how much he had spent to close the shop.
Huang Zhiheng said that this was a private matter and was unwilling to answer.
Through inquiries, the police found that Zheng Lin's family had no record of going abroad. Nor did he return to the mainland.
If he had returned to the mainland, he would definitely have contacted his relatives in his hometown, and his younger brother had not been able to contact him, indicating that he had not returned to the mainland.
Even if you go abroad, under normal circumstances, you will not lose contact with your relatives.
Just as the police were about to summon him, the police officer in charge of surveillance reported that Huang Zhiheng had left the Eight Immortals Hotel in a hurry, seemingly trying to escape.
The police immediately dispatched to intercept Huang Zhiheng, who was planning to escape. He was taken back to the police station for questioning.
When Huang Zhiheng was taken back to the police station by the police, he still pretended to be pretending that the police interrogated people inexplicably. It's to catch good people for no reason. He also scolded the police that none of them were good things.
The police asked him why he lived in Mr. Zheng's house, and he said he paid for it.
The police asked: If you bought it, why don't you go through the transfer procedures?
He said that Zheng Lin's family was in a hurry to go abroad, saying that they would go through the transfer procedures when they returned.
The police also asked about the source of the funds for the sale of the Eight Immortals Hotel and the purchase of the house in Zheng Lin's name.
He said he earned it from his own business, but he couldn't say exactly what kind of business he did.
Under continuous questioning by the police, he changed his tune again.
said that Zheng Lin had gambled with him before and owed him 600,000 yuan in gambling debts, so he had to offset the assets in his name against gambling debts.
The deceased is dead and cannot justify himself. It's just one side of his words.
Zheng Lin has been running the Baxian Hotel for more than 20 years, and the business is stable, which is an important source of income for his family.
After Zheng Lin's family disappeared, the house and car under his name were all occupied by Huang Zhiheng.
If it is a normal sale or transfer, there will be corresponding transfer procedures.
On October 2, 1986, Huang Zhiheng was formally indicted, transferred to the Criminal Prosecution Court for interrogation, and taken to prison awaiting trial.
But Huang Zhiheng never pleaded guilty.
After the Eight Immortals Hotel case was exposed, Li He's family recognized him as Chen Ziliang back then!
Chen Ziliang's relevant information was also picked up: his hometown is in Nanhai Shulou Village, Guangdong Province, and his milk name is A Qi.
His family was once quite wealthy, and the family used to employ servants.
Chan later followed his family to settle in Hong Kong. But soon after, he was imprisoned for five years in Hong Kong for breaking the law.
After his release, he married a woman surnamed Huang and had two sons and one daughter.
After being killed in 1973, he absconded back to the countryside of Nanhai County and lived in the home of his former servant Li Shi.
During this period, he fell in love with the daughter of the Li family, and the two smuggled to Macau together.
In Macau, his second wife bore him a child. At the time of the crime, the child was only 6 years old.
In 1986, on October 4, he committed suicide by cutting his wrists in prison, but was found by other prisoners and rescued.
Two months later, on December 5, when the prison guards were distributing breakfast, they found that Huang Zhiheng was breathless and his quilt was stained with blood.
It is presumed that he committed suicide by cutting his wrists in the early hours of the morning with a tin ring on his water.
With Huang Zhiheng's death, the police were unable to interrogate him.
But all kinds of evidence shows that he is the murderer of the disappearance of the Eight Immortals Hotel, and he committed suicide in fear of crime.
After Huang's death, one of his cellmates claimed that Huang told him about his murder before committing suicide.
Huang Zhiheng described the situation as follows:
Zheng Lin and Huang Zhiheng once gambled, and Zheng Lin owed 180,000 gambling debts. He promised to take the shop as a mortgage if he didn't pay it back after a year. (And according to the neighbors' feedback, Zheng Lin is very honest and has no bad habits.) On the contrary, her wife loves to play mahjong and loves to gamble)
But a year has passed, and Zheng Lin's gambling debts have not been repaid, and he is unwilling to fulfill his promise and stake the store to him. Moreover, Zheng Lin also refused to admit the gambling debt on the grounds that there was no written evidence.
On August 4, 1985, Huang Zhiheng came to the Eight Immortals Hotel to collect debts. There was a quarrel with the owner Zheng Lin.
At that time, he picked up a beer bottle in the store, broke it, and then he wanted to hold Zheng Lin's son hostage.
Hold a shard of glass against the neck of Zheng Lin's son.
He threatened the other eight people at the Eight Immortals Hotel to tie each other up and gag each other with strips of cloth.
Otherwise, the little boy's throat will be slit with glass shards.
Zheng Lin has a total of 5 children, 4 daughters and a son. The son is the youngest.
The couple especially valued their son and regarded him as the root of their life.
For the safety of their son, Zheng Lin and his wife asked others to obediently listen to Huang Zhiheng.
It was for this reason that the other 8 people, very submissive, tied each other up.
In the end, the remaining proprietress Chen Huiyi had not yet been tied up, and Huang Zhiheng asked her to tie up her son as well.
The proprietress was very anxious, and she held her son and tried to escape.
Huang Zhiheng was enraged and pierced the boy's mother in the neck with a glass shard,
The hostess died on the spot, blood flowing.
When the little boy saw it, he was frightened and cried, and he cried:
"You are a big villain, Aunt Nine will call the police to arrest you!"
Huang Zhiheng had already killed one person at this time, and everyone else saw him kill someone.
At this time, he was like a bloodthirsty beast that had been bloodthirsty, and he killed all nine people without doing anything.
After killing these 9 people, he remembered the little boy's words: Aunt Nine will call the police to arrest you!
The next morning, he ran to the door of the little boy's aunt Jiu, lied that Zheng Lin's son had a fever and needed help to take care of him, and asked her to go to the restaurant to help.
The boy's ninth aunt should have seen Huang Zhiheng before, and then believed it.
She hurriedly followed Huang Zhiheng into a car. Never came back.
She was supposed to be taken to a hotel and killed.
After killing 10 people, Huang Zhiheng's next thing to do was to dismember the body.
Only when it is dismembered into pieces can the body be taken out and thrown away.
According to reports, Huang Zhiheng has also opened a small restaurant before, and he is estimated to be familiar with cutting meat and bones.
The above is told by Huang Zhiheng's cellmate, and the specific authenticity is unknown.
But there are indications that Huang Zhiheng is the murderer of nine members of Zheng Lin's family (plus a cook).
His anti-reconnaissance ability is very strong, and when he dismembered the body, he deliberately destroyed the fingerprints of the deceased so that the police could not compare them.
In fact, a careful analysis of Huang Zhiheng's confession will reveal that the logic does not match.
He said that Zheng Lin owed him 180,000 gambling debts, and Zheng Lin's family had died, so it is unknown whether they really owed debts.
In addition to the hotel, Zheng Lin has two properties under his name, as well as a car.
He has been running the Eight Immortals Hotel for more than 20 years and should still have some savings.
Even if Zheng Lin really owed him 180,000 gambling debts, it would be easy for him to raise 180,000. Sell a house and you're good to go.
This gambling debt is most likely an excuse that Huang Zhiheng made for himself.
He just didn't want to admit that he was murdering maliciously.
To put it back, if people owe you 180,000 and don't pay it back, you have a reason to kill others?
It can be seen from the incident that he tied up the other party and drowned 12 years ago because he could not borrow 10,000 money,
He will use violence to force the other party to give him money.
His behavior is different from the murderer breaking into strangers to commit murder.
Because he entered the house of an acquaintance.
Later, there were rumors that after Huang Zhiheng dismembered the body, he made char siu buns from the cut human body.
For a time, the people of Macao saw that the char siu buns were hiding far away.
Sales of char siu buns also fell sharply.
In 1993, this incident was adapted into the movie "Eight Immortals Hotel: Human Meat Char Siu Bun".
The murderer is played by Huang Qiusheng. He played the murderer's heartlessness and inhumanity.
The film also won the 13th Academy Awards in 1994, and Huang Qiusheng became a movie star with this film.
Before his death, Huang Zhiheng sent a confession to the newspaper, and his statement was somewhat inconsistent and illogical.
It can be seen that the level of education is relatively low. The general meaning of the confession book is as follows:
Beginning on September 28, the judicial department interrogated him for two nights and three days, with four people in charge of interrogation, and finally charged him with murdering Zheng Lin's family at midnight on October 1.
He admitted that he was responsible for the Hong Kong case. However, he said that he did not re-offend for more than a decade.
As early as 1984, when Zheng Lin owed him 188,000 yuan, he had the intention to buy the Eight Immortals Hotel.
He said that his son has now graduated and entered society. The only things he felt desolate were his wife and seven-year-old.
Public opinion will be very unfair to their wives and children,
One of his original words is:
"I used to be a bad person, I should bear all the consequences, but my wife is a country mother, she knows nothing, she is definitely a good person,
Could society have come to her aid without extending a sympathetic hand? ”
At the end he also wrote:
I solemnly declare that my self-liberation is not fear of sin, but multifaceted.
I suffer from asthma and I don't want to go on again, but this time it will come true.
When a man dies, his words are good.
In fact, he wrote this letter to exonerate himself.
He repeatedly insisted that Zheng Lin owed him 180,000 yuan, then gave him hotels, houses, and cars, and then went abroad.
Obviously, the hotel plus Zheng Lin's two properties, the car, is worth far more than 188,000!
Even if he really owes gambling debts and is forced by creditors very tightly, he only needs to get rid of a house to easily solve this debt. Don't give the life of your whole family for the sake of paying the bills.
Under normal circumstances, when Zheng Lin was held to the neck by the murderer with a glass shard, he must have asked the murderer what he wanted.
But the murderer's purpose at this time is not blackmail, but to possess everything that Zheng Lin has.
He knew that as long as Zheng Lin and his wife lived, it was impossible for Zheng Lin and his wife to agree to this request.
In fact, he had planned everything long before entering the store.
When he killed the boss lady, he felt that the other people, as long as one of them were alive, would definitely call the police, and he would eventually die.
Therefore, he kills without blinking and kills them all.
Inhumane.
More cruel than the beast.
Beasts do not easily hurt people when their stomachs are not hungry.
Judging from the facts of the case, on the day of the crime, the murderer Huang Zhiheng was able to subdue so many people at the same time, and it can be seen that he knows psychological tactics very well,
He knew everyone was precious to this only boy. So they did not dare to resist his orders,
They all obediently tied up the people next to them, and then they were helped by others, and they also gagged their mouths with strips of cloth.
According to the picture, this kind of hotel is an ordinary two-story building.
If you know some escape knowledge, use a rope to escape through the window, you can call for help.
However, the others did not dare to run away or shout, for fear that the murderer would hurt the boss's only son.
Huang Zhiheng has a good grasp of this psychology.
He is not only extremely cruel in his heart, but also very good at pinching people's psychology.
So, he can subdue 5 adults alone, plus a girl who is close to adulthood.
【Conclusion】
Chan Zi Leung had a good family and servants at home when he was a child, and later moved to Hong Kong with his family.
After arriving in Hong Kong, he was imprisoned for five years for foul play.
After being released from prison, he married a wife and had children normally, giving birth to two sons and a daughter.
Unexpectedly, in 1973, he ruthlessly killed a 32-year-old man and set fire to two other people.
You know, the deceased was the father of a three-year-old child and the pillar of the family's economy.
He not only killed a person, but also destroyed an otherwise happy family.
To escape, he cut off a finger, burned his fingerprints, fled to Macau with another woman, and gave birth to another child.
Little did he know that 12 years later, he created another case that killed 10 people.
Two killings, a total of 11 people were killed.
Five of them were children. The youngest was only 7 years old.
Inhumane.
Jackals are inferior.
He committed crimes twice, in fact, they were for "money".
And his perpetrators are all acquaintances.
A proper human demon.
