On August 30, 2005, police in lafayette, UNITED States, found a highly decomposed corpse in an abandoned parking lot. Although there was almost a pile of white bones left in the mutilated body, after careful search and investigation, they finally confirmed the identity of the deceased. The deceased, named He Lei, was 28 years old from Shanghai, China, and is currently pursuing a master's degree in mechanical engineering at Purdue University. However, with the further investigation of the police, they found that the murderer was actually He Lei's wife, Chen Danlei.
After the news came out, the entire Chinese student community was shocked. Because He Lei and Chen Danlei are not only alumni of Tsinghua University, the two also have common hobbies, and they usually show great love, so everyone calls them "fairy companions" in addition to envy. So, why would Chen Danlei kill her husband?
Speaking of which, Chen Danlei and He Lei are really a pair of talented women, and their encounter is also very romantic.
At that time, Chen Danlei was still studying for a master's degree at Tsinghua University. One day, Chen Danlei was copying notes in the classroom when suddenly a tall boy came up to her and asked her if she had seen a pen.
It turned out that the boy had just sat in this position, and the pen was given to him by his mother, which meant a lot to him. Chen Danlei returned the pen she had picked up to the boy. This boy is He Lei.
In fact, Chen Danlei is an introvert. During her studies, she was preoccupied with her studies and rarely spoke to the opposite sex. After seeing the sunny and handsome He Lei, Chen Danlei actually had a feeling of heartbeat for the first time, so the two left contact information for each other after a conversation.
Chen Danlei knows that He Lei is an active member in the school, and in order to create opportunities to meet He Lei, she has always disliked participating in group activities, and she has constantly appeared in various activities. Her gentleness and thoughtfulness made He Lei fall step by step, and finally the two finally came together.
Chen Danlei in love felt unprecedented happiness, and they went to the library together to study, climb mountains, eat... He Lei not only introduced himself to her friends, but also took her back to Shanghai to meet his parents during the holidays.
However, at that time, Chen Danlei also had an unpleasant incident, and she had a very serious dispute with the tutor who took her. In a fit of rage, Chen Danlei passed the exam and was successfully admitted to Purdue University in the United States, and also won a full scholarship.
In this way, Chen Danlei and He Lei had to face the situation of separation between the two places, which Chen Danlei obviously did not want to see. Therefore, under her persuasion, He Lei, who had obtained the qualification of guaranteed graduate school, finally gave up his qualification to continue to study at Tsinghua University, registered his marriage with her, and then went to the United States with her as a companion.
After arriving in the United States, the cheerful He Lei quickly adapted to life in the United States, and he quickly became a graduate student in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Purdue University with his strength, and won a full scholarship by virtue of his excellent results.
Originally, He Lei and Chen Danlei were so excellent, their future should be bright. However, what is unexpected is that Chen Danlei, because of her personality, not only has a very bad relationship with her classmates, but also has a contradictory relationship with the professor, so that the professor refuses to take her again.
In the end, he Lei found an old Chinese professor and said all the good things. The old Chinese professor also accepted Chen Danlei out of a Chinese complex, and Chen Danlei finally successfully completed graduate school.
To tell the truth, the personalities of He Lei and Chen Danlei are two extremes, He Lei is sunny and cheerful, and people are very enthusiastic and generous. Therefore, he is very popular wherever he goes. Chen Danlei is introverted, she prefers to be alone with He Lei, unwilling to participate in the group activities of international students, and unwilling to get to know He Lei's friends.
At first, He Lei and Chen Danlei could still get along, and the two also used the Internet to do purchasing, and the relationship was also very harmonious. However, with the passage of time, coupled with the fact that He Lei is getting better and better and he knows more and more friends, the contradiction between Chen Danlei and him has gradually been revealed.
Many times, Chen Danlei did not allow He Lei to go out to socialize and forced He Lei to accompany her at home. He Lei persuaded Chen Danlei many times and actively took her to participate in activities, but as soon as Chen Danlei saw that he was happy to chat with other female students, he doubted whether he liked someone else, so the two often quarreled about it. After each quarrel, it was always He Lei who broke the deadlock first and took the initiative to reconcile with Chen Danlei.
Despite this, due to Chen Danlei's strong desire to control, the contradictions between the two in marriage are becoming more and more acute.
Once, He Lei drove out. Since he refused to tell Chen Danlei where to go, Chen Danlei simply sat in the passenger seat and followed him. In fact, this was not the first time that such a situation had happened, and He Lei was very tired of it, but he had no choice.
After arriving at the place, Chen Danlei found that he was just going fishing with a few international students.
At that time, several international students also ridiculed how Chen Danlei followed so tightly. Chen Danlei had to say that she wanted to learn to fish, and then she sat next to He Lei.
But in the process of fishing, He Lei just stared intently at the fishing rod and ignored Chen Danlei at all. Embarrassed, Chen Danlei wanted to learn to fish and wanted to snatch the fishing rod from He Lei's hand. As a result, the two had a push and shove for this, and Chen Danlei accidentally fell on the rubble and scratched his knee.
Several international students who were fishing together saw it and came over to express their concern. Instead, He Lei was like a sculpture, and he didn't even twist his head to her side.
On Christmas Day 2004, in order to ease the relationship, Chen Danlei specially made a hearty dinner at home. However, He Lei insisted on going out and said that he would not come back for dinner. This made Chen Danlei furious, so the resentment that had been buried in her heart for a long time finally broke out. Chen Danlei, who was in a hurry, suddenly raised his knife and stabbed at he Lei, who was unprepared. After the injured He Lei was taken to the hospital, the doctor chose to call the police. Subsequently, the police arrested Chen Danlei on charges of "attempted murder."
This incident caused great shock among international students, and just when everyone was talking about it, He Lei borrowed money everywhere to bail Chen Danlei out. As soon as the court's ban on access was lifted, he took Chen Danlei back home and gave her a lot of comfort, and the relationship between the two eased up a lot.
However, Chen Danlei was not grateful to He Lei for this, but was increasingly jealous of him. Coupled with the fact that He Lei often said that an excellent man like him would have many beautiful girls to pursue when he returned to China, this made Chen Danlei more hysterical, so the contradiction between the two became more acute.
He Lei, who could not bear it, finally filed for divorce from Chen Danlei. And the divorce also became the last straw that overwhelmed Chen Danlei.
On the night of August 20, 2005, He Lei, who returned late, returned home because he had drunk alcohol, and when he returned home, he fell asleep on his head. While he was asleep, Chen Danlei took a pistol and fired a shot at his head, killing him in his sleep.
Because He Lei was tall and Less than 1 meter 55 tall, Chen Danlei had no way to transfer the body, so she spent 7 days guarding the body. Watching the corpses decay day by day, she was worried that the smell of decay would attract the attention of her neighbors, so on a thunderous night, she used a machine to divide the corpses, beat them into pieces of meat, and then packed them into 4 large vinyl bags, loaded them into the trunk of the car, and drove the car into the abandoned parking lot.
After disposing of the body, Chen Danlei prepared to fly back to Shanghai. Since she was still on bail and her passport was seized by the police, she disguised herself as a man and took He Lei's passport in an attempt to fool through the customs. In fact, she has successfully taken off from the United States, but after arriving at the international airport in Shanghai, when she went through the security check, she was still found by the security inspectors, and then she was taken away by the police.
After the case occurred, Chen Danlei confessed to the police about the shooting of He Lei.
Speaking of which, Chen Danlei has come to the step of killing her husband, which actually has a lot to do with her original family.
Chen Danlei was born in 1977 to an ordinary family in Sichuan, her father was a university professor, but her mother was not highly educated. Therefore, during the marriage, the mother has always been very distrustful of the father, always suspicious that he is looking for other women outside. So not only did he peek into his diary, but he also checked his call logs. Under the close surveillance of her mother, her father became more and more cold to her, and the two often quarreled. Chen Danlei, who grew up in this environment, became extremely inferior and had a paranoid and eccentric personality.
However, Chen Danlei is very good at reading, and her grades have always been among the best. In 1995, she scored 5th in the province in the college entrance examination and was successfully admitted to the Department of Chemical Engineering of Tsinghua University.
However, shortly after she went to college, her father ignored her mother's bitter pleas and insisted on dissolving her marriage with her mother. What pained Chen Danlei was that her mother died of illness after a few years of depression after the divorce.
The death of her mother dealt Chen Danlei a great blow and made her think that everything was her father's fault. It is the father who makes the mother lose everything, and the mother will end up in a tragic end.
Therefore, when He Lei proposed a divorce to Chen Danlei, Chen Danlei also pleaded bitterly like his mother, but at this time, He Lei had no feelings for her, so no matter how Chen Danlei pleaded, He Lei had already made up his mind. When Chen Danlei, who was in a panic, thought that after He Lei's divorce, she could not only get better and better academically, but also happily spend time with other women, and she was very angry. In order not to repeat her mother's mistakes, she shot and killed He Lei.
In September 2006, after a court judgment, Chen Danlei was sentenced to death with a two-year suspension of execution and compensation for more than 440,000 yuan for the parents of the victim He Lei. However, due to Chen Danlei's active performance during her sentence, she was later commuted to fixed-term imprisonment and was finally released in 2019.
Poor He Lei's parents, the white-haired people sent the black-haired people, and He Lei was the only son in the family. Therefore, after He Lei was killed, they still could not get out of the haze of grief.
