Hello everyone, and welcome to the Serious Case Speaker. On the evening of October 17, 2008, police at the Taihang Public Security Bureau in Handan, Hebei Province, began a heated discussion about a disappearance in which a female taxi driver had lost contact with her family 24 hours earlier. The driver's name was Zhang Jinxia, and after a day's investigation, the police found neither her trace nor her car, which gave birth to a sense of foreboding in everyone's hearts. Ms. Zhang, 39, who lived in Wu'an, Handan, had spoken on the phone the night before with her daughter, Fang Fang, who was studying at university in Tianjin, and claimed on the phone that she was dropping guests off to Handan, but her daughter called her phone back soon after and could no longer be connected.
Zhang Jinxia is honest and very enthusiastic, she works in a large enterprise, in her spare time will open a rental to solicit customers to supplement the family, she will go to and from work on time every day, never carry strangers, the police did not find suspicious people from Zhang Jinxia's social relationships, and no one seemed to have emotional disputes with her. So where did Zhang Jinxia go, and what direction will the case develop? Next, please pay attention and follow the footsteps of the police to explore the truth of the case.
Zhang Jinxia divorced her ex-husband many years ago, and re-established a family with her current husband Zhang Shuzhen four years ago, and their relationship is very harmonious and their lives have been very peaceful. It is understood that at about six o'clock in the evening of October 16, Zhang Shuzhen had a final call with his wife, and Zhang Jinxia told him on the phone that he was sending a friend to Handan. According to the clues provided by Zhang Shuzhen, the police collected surveillance video of various intersections from Wu'an to Handan on the evening of the 16th, but did not see Zhang Jinxia's taxi entering and leaving Wu'an. The police turned to an investigation into Ms. Zhang's call records, and after screening the people who spoke to her on the day of the crime, a number that had been shut down caught everyone's attention.
The last person Zhang Jinxia called before her disappearance was the owner of this number, which was not registered with her real name, which had to make the police suspicious. The mobile salesperson said the card was sold on October 15 by two young men in their 20s, both of whom she remembered were tall but could not describe their appearances. The policemen are very clear in their hearts that the most important thing at present is to find Zhang Jinxia's whereabouts, and before there is news of the missing person, everything is still unknown, but unfortunately, everyone finally ushered in bad news.
On the evening of October 19, villagers in Tuancheng Township, Wu'an City, found Zhang Jinxia's belongings and some car parts by the reservoir. The police repeatedly salvaged the reservoir and did not find Zhang Jinxia's body, and everyone was temporarily relieved. Although the police all thought that Zhang Jinxia might have been murderous at this time, everyone still had a glimmer of hope, at this time Fang Fang had used the Internet to publish a search notice, and the day after the notice was issued, she received a call from a stranger. The man on the other end of the phone, speaking with a Shandong accent, claimed that Zhang Jinxia had been kidnapped by two of his friends and had offered to help Fang Fang find her mother. This person did not help for free, he asked Fang Fang for a deposit of 10,000 yuan, and asked for another 20,000 yuan after finding Zhang Jinxia.
This call made Fang Fang feel dilemma, and finally had news of her mother's whereabouts, but she did not dare to tell the police, and finally Zhang Shuzhen decided that no matter how much money she paid, she must ensure that her wife could return home safely. Just as the two were about to pay the money, Zhang Shuzhen's mobile phone received another call from Guangzhou, the other party claimed to be a doctor in a hospital in Guangzhou, Zhang Jinxia had a car accident in Guangzhou and was being treated in the hospital, and must quickly pay the cost of the operation. Why is Zhang Jinxia in Shandong and Guangdong? Zhang Shuzhen felt strange and quickly reported the situation to the police.
In order to find out the truth of the facts, the police of the Taihang Public Security Bureau launched an investigation into the two insiders, and the results of the investigation were unsurprisingly, both of them wanted to make a windfall after seeing the search notice on the Internet. Zhang Jinxia has been missing for a week at this time, but the search notice on the Internet has attracted a bunch of scammers to take advantage of the fire, which has invisibly left a shadow in the hearts of Zhang Jinxia's family, and made the already painful family even worse. One by one, the clues were interrupted, and the unfamiliar number that Zhang Jinxia had last called on the day of her disappearance became the only clue to the police, and this strange phone number was used for only two hours after opening, and in this short two hours, the number sent three text messages in addition to five phone calls with Zhang Jinxia.
The recipient of the three text messages, Zhang Dacheng, said that he had indeed received text messages from this strange number, but because the content of these messages was blank, he deleted them casually. Of course, the police did not believe Zhang Dacheng's words, and everyone found that his son Zhang Lijiang was similar to one of the suspects who bought the mobile phone card regardless of age, size and accent, and everyone immediately launched an investigation into Zhang Lijiang. Zhang Lijiang, then 20, worked in a factory in Wu'an, and people familiar with the matter reported that he and another man had recently driven a black car without license plates in and out of the factory, and appeared to be looking for a buyer to sell the car.
After seeing Zhang Lijiang's photo, the salesman who sold the mobile phone card could vaguely recognize that this person was very similar to the person who bought the mobile phone card that day, and the police strengthened their confidence. On October 28, after some investigation, the police determined that Zhang Lijiang was suspected of committing the crime, and immediately arrested him. Zhang Lijiang seemed to have foreseen his fate, and after arriving at the case, he was very cooperative with the investigation, and everyone quickly arrested the accomplice Yue Wenpeng according to his confession, and Zhang Jinxia's taxi was also found by the police in a certain community. Yue Wenpeng used to work part-time at Zhang Jinxia's company, but on October 8, he had a conflict with his co-workers and was fired from the factory, and he found Zhang Lijiang to complain in indignation.
Both of them are temporary workers, usually do not make much money at all, the two brothers and brothers after venting a while, they both showed their desire for money, so they pondered a quick way to make money together. Zhang Lijiang and Yue Wenpeng could not come up with anything good, they saw that they could pick up the equipment dropped by the opponent by defeating the opponent in the process of PK when they played an online game, so they had a plan in their hearts. Yue Wenpeng told Zhang Lijiang that he knew a taxi driver, and as long as he killed her, he could get both money and a car, and the two hit it off and immediately prepared the tools of the crime. The taxi driver in Yue Wenpeng's mouth was Zhang Jinxia, and Zhang Jinxia at this time would not have thought that bad luck had gradually approached him.
Zhang Lijiang and Yue Wenpeng bought new SIM cards and then dialed Zhang Jinxia's phone number. Yue Wenpeng asked Zhang Jinxia to help pick up a friend in Handan on October 16, and Zhang Jinxia arrived as promised, and stepped into the trap carefully designed by the two. Zhang Lijiang and Yue Wenpeng thought that they were doing something unconscious, but how could Zhang Lijiang mistakenly send a text message to his father with a newly purchased mobile phone card, which is exactly God's own arrangement.
On November 7, 2008, the police finally found Zhang Jinxia's body after nearly half a month of salvage in the reservoir. The lights in the city continue to stimulate the restless hearts of young people, who yearn for a luxurious life, but they want to get something for nothing, and the basic work can no longer satisfy the desires of these people, and finally they can only go to the road of crime for money.
