Cover news reporter Shi Wei Chen Yuxiao
On April 5, Wenzhou police reported that three suspects in the murder of a Chinese girl in Thailand had been criminally detained. The cover news reporter visited the hometown of the three people and learned some of the experiences of the three people from the villagers and the informed population.
Among them, Zhou Moujia and Zhou Mouyi are of the same ethnic group and grew up together since childhood, and Zhou Moujia and another suspect, Chen Moukang, both worked as haircuts in the local county. The insider said that Zhou was smart, could speak, and would coax girls; Zhou Mouyi got married the year before last and divorced after giving birth to a son last year; Chen Moukang is calm and introverted, with a "girl-like personality", and appeared in the village more than a month before the accident.
Why did three young men in their early 20s rush from a quiet northern village into distant Thailand and brutally murder their fellow students of their age? The cover news reporter contacted the families of three people, all of whom were denied interviews.
A 22-year-old girl was killed while studying abroad, and the suspect investigated her family background
On April 5, the Wenzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau reported that on March 31, Wenzhou residents reported that his daughter (Jin, 20 years old) had been kidnapped in Thailand and that the kidnappers demanded a ransom of 500,000 yuan. The police were informed through international police cooperation channels that the hostages had been killed. On April 3, three suspects Chen Moukang (22 years old), Zhou Moujia (24 years old), and Zhou Mouyi (22 years old), who fled back to China, were arrested in Xiangyang, Hubei Province.

According to Chao News reports, Jin's aunt said that Xiao Jin, who was supposed to go to Thailand for classes due to the epidemic, did not arrive in Thailand until early March, and then contacted his family almost every day, and only received sporadic news at home on March 28. On March 29 and 30, Xiao Jin's father contacted the teacher at Xiao Jin's school and learned that she was not at school.
At 10:59 on March 31, Xiaojin's family received a photo from the kidnappers, asking for 500,000 yuan to be sent to the designated bank card within five minutes. The family offered to video call Xiaojin to confirm his safety, but was refused. The family then called the police in China and Thailand.

Xiao Jin's aunt said that when she received the blackmail message, Xiao Jin had already been killed.
According to Thai media reports, the three suspects had a criminal record in China, had online contact with Xiaojin before she went abroad, and investigated her family background, learned that her father was a music teacher with a good family environment, and planned to lure the deceased to like one of the suspects, and then kidnapped and blackmailed.
Thai media reported that the three people applied for visas in January and February, and rented a house and vehicle through a Thai woman (another suspect) on March 20. On March 29, the Thai woman asked her landlord to quit her rent early, demanding a partial refund of the rent.
At present, the above information has not been confirmed by the domestic police.
A friend of Xiaojin introduced that Xiaojin's personality is cheerful, and her family conditions are slightly better than ordinary families, but she is not a rich family, and her life is relatively ordinary, and she has not bought luxury goods or flaunted wealth.
The cover news reporter saw on Xiaojin's social account that most of the video works she posted were landscapes or selfies of her own life, and most of them did not have too much copywriting. Like most girls who love beauty, there are a lot of cute-style special effects in the video, as well as hairstyling content in the barbershop.
Insiders said that the suspects surnamed Zhou were of the same ethnic group, and one of them was "clever and can coax girls."
The cover news reporter learned that the three suspects are all from Xingtainanhe District, Hebei, of which Zhou Moujia and Zhou Mouyi are from the same village, and their villages are 5 kilometers away from Chen Moukang's village.
The village where Chen Moukang is located
The news that three people killed a female student in Thailand caused a sensation in the village. The cover news reporter visited the village to try to find out why three people killed their fellow citizens in a foreign country.
In these two villages, like many others, most of the young people work outside the home or have settled in the cities, and most of the houses in the high-walled courtyards of the villages are locked in iron chains. In Chen Moukang's village, there are more than 6,000 people with household registration, but only more than 1,500 people every day.
Elderly villagers gathered at the mouth of the alley, and the source they received was from neighbors who were a few years younger than them. The few middle-aged villagers took out their mobile phones in the alley, turned on the volume, and in the videos on social platforms, the names of Zhou Moujia, Zhou Mouyi, and Chen Moukang were constantly mentioned. Most of them couldn't tell whose name these three names were, but when they saw strangers approaching, they always fell silent and responded to all conversations with "I don't know".
Some villagers who were willing to talk to reporters were stopped by others by squeezing their eyes or pulling their cuffs. A villager pointed out Zhou's home to a reporter, but three other villagers scolded him for "what are you talking about." The three villagers stopped the reporter, checked their ID cards and other documents, and said: "Don't wander around the village, go to the village committee if you have something." ”
Even when the reporter left the village to buy water in the shop on the road, one of the three villagers rode up on an electric car, stayed on the side of the road not far away, and took out his mobile phone again to shoot.
Staff members of village committees in both villages said they were not familiar with the situation of the three families.
Villagers who knew Chen Moukang introduced that they saw Chen Moukang's case on an online video, which was very different from their impression of Chen Moukang. "When I was a child, I was a girl with a personality, calm, and few words, unlike other brats. Others climb high and low to pick up elm money, he never engages in it. When he was a teenager, he moved to the county with his parents and rarely returned. ”
Villagers said that Chen Moukang dropped out of middle school and learned to get haircuts in the county seat, and did not know when he went to Beijing, let alone Thailand. "We haven't heard of anyone here who went to Thailand to work, and we don't know how he got along."
A villager in his 30s told reporters that he saw Chen Moukang return to the village in February, "looking like an ordinary person, unlike other people who learn to cut hair, he does not dye his hair, nor does he dress strangely, he took the initiative to greet me and call me brother." ”
Villagers told the cover news reporter that the surname Zhou was a big surname in the village, and outsiders did not talk about it in the village after the accident. An insider introduced that Zhou Moujia and Zhou Mouyi are of the same ethnic group, grew up together and went to school together, Zhou Moujia's parents divorced and he lived with his mother, and his father opened a hotel in the village after remarrying. "He also learned haircuts in the county after he didn't go to school. He also has an older sister and sister, who have a quick mind and a good mouth and are very good at coaxing girls. Zhou Mouyi also has a biological brother, who got married the year before last and divorced after giving birth to a son last year. ”
As for why the three went to Thailand and why they became suspects in the murder of the schoolgirl, no one can say. The reporter contacted the parents of the three people many times, Chen Moukang's father said that he "didn't know that his son was arrested" and hung up the phone, while the other family members hung up directly after connecting the phone.
