In 2013, a Black Widow serial murder incident occurred in Japan that shocked the whole country. Chinese woman Yin Lina single-handedly topped the hot search list in Japan at that time.
The incident began in April 2002. Kazuko Kato (not her real name), who lives alone in Japan's Yamagata Prefecture, suddenly received a call from an Osaka city clerk who said that there were some small errors in the application documents you submitted a few days ago.
Although Kazuko's hometown is in Osaka, she has been living in Yamagata for more than 10 years, and she has not submitted any documents for moving in recently.
Osaka city officials told Kazuko that her parents' home in Osaka and her current address in Yamagata, Japan, had changed twice in a short period of time.
Kazuko herself hadn't done anything, which made her feel a little creepy, so she retrieved the household register and checked it.
The check was remarkable, and Kazuko discovered that her father, Zenichiro Kato (77), who was supposed to live in Osaka, had died two months earlier.
Kazuko was shocked to find out why no one had informed her if her father had died two months earlier, and she tried to contact her parents' home, but could not get in touch.
In addition, her father's household registration book shows that her father remarried a Chinese woman named Yin Lina about a year ago.
After the death of her father, Yin Lina, who originally ran a bar in Nishisei, Osaka, also disappeared without a trace.
Feeling that things were not simple, Kazuko immediately returned to Osaka from the northeast and called the police.
The police immediately launched an investigation and found that Zenichiro Kato had died half a year after remarrying Yin Lina, and the death was registered.
However, what is puzzling is that the police found that Kato's death was registered in an unrelated Ishikawa Prefecture, about 200 kilometers from Osaka.
The Osaka criminal police immediately contacted the Ishikawa Prefectural Police and asked for a photo of the autopsy and asked Kazuko to confirm.
Kazuko looked at the photo and said in surprise, "This is not my father", Kato, who died in the photo, is not the same person as Kazuko's father.
The case seems even more confusing.
In addition to Kazuko, Zenichiro Kato has two daughters. Kazuko's two younger sisters also knew nothing about their father's death.
The police tried to contact Yin Lina, but there was no clue. It was as if she had evaporated from the world, and no one knew where she was.
However, when the police visited Yin Lina in the Xicheng area, they found that she had a very good reputation among the homeless. Yin Lina often sends them food, drink, medicine, etc., and is a kind and kind person.
Further investigation by the police found that all the 115 tsubo land owned by Zenichiro Kato in Xicheng before his death was inherited by his remarried partner Yin Lina.
The police questioned the local officials of the Legal Affairs Bureau, who was in charge of inheritance, and found that among the three sisters, the second and third daughters had renounced Kato's right to inherit the property, and the eldest daughter (Kazuko) and Yin Linna had each inherited one-half of the land.
However, the three biological daughters did not know about the division of property.
Where is my father now? Who is the person who died in Ishikawa Prefecture? All these mysteries can only be solved by finding Yin Lina.
Yin Lina was born in Beijing, China, and came to Japan when she was 42 years old, marrying a Japanese man.
However, not long after coming to Japan, Yin Lina chose to divorce and opened a small bar by herself. For Yin Lina, in this world, money is the only thing she believes in and likes.
Although Yin Lina's small bar has a good business, she is not satisfied with such a speed of making money at all, and she quickly targets the old Japanese man who often comes to the bar to drink.
Among them, Zenichiro Kato is the richest of the regulars. Yin Lina unfolded her best skills and fascinated Kato twice.
Although he is 77 years old, he still decided to remarry Yin Lina, and the two of them will create a better life together.
However, for Yin Lina, she married Zenichiro Kato for only one purpose, and that was for money.
In order to get the inheritance as soon as possible, Yin Lina, who had just gotten married, couldn't wait, seeing that Kato's body was so tough, she had to have a poisonous plan and planned to use a stand-in to inherit Kato's legacy.
A month after the police intervened in the investigation, Yin Lina was placed on the national wanted list. However, she has evaporated from the world and has been missing.
Seeing that the case is at an impasse, what is surprising is that Yin Lina's accomplice Yue Tian was arrested on suspicion of theft.
Under the questioning of the police, Yue Tian also took the initiative to confess his guilt and confessed the process of the crime.
It turned out that Yue Tian was also one of the frequent customers of Yin Lina's small bar, and after Yin Lina told him about his crime plan, Yue Tian was also involved and became an accomplice.
The two of them first killed Kato at his house.
Then it is up to Yin Lina to find the homeless man with diabetes and admit them to the hospital as a replacement for Kato.
In order to find the homeless, Yin Lina also took the initiative to approach and care for them, and asked for warmth to these homeless people, so Yin Lina was also welcomed by the homeless.
After finding the target homeless A, Yin Lina first treated him, and then discharged A from the hospital before the treatment was good.
Subsequently, Yin Lina asked Koshida to prepare a house in Ishikawa Prefecture, and then sent A there, where A was restricted in his freedom of movement and even locked up to be abused by Yin Lina. They forced A to eat a large amount of food that a diabetic person could not eat, and did not inject him with insulin, a drug for diabetes, and killed A under slow torture.
Subsequently, the two put A's body in a room and told the doctor that A was Zenichiro Kato, who died of illness, and under Yin Lina's super high acting skills, the police had no suspicion of this, and the autopsy results were also treated as death due to illness.
As soon as Zenichiro Kato died, his inheritance became a problem. Koshida found 3 stand-ins for the inheritance. Yin Lina successfully deceived the officials of the Justice Bureau with a double and a forged seal certificate.
In order to avoid the suspicion of the officials of the Legal Affairs Bureau, Yin Lina took great pains. Before the inheritance meeting, she transferred the residence certificate of her eldest daughter Kazuko to Osaka and asked her to inherit the property.
Then, in order not to let Kazuko find out that she had transferred her residence certificate, Yin Lina moved Kazuko's residence permit back to Yamagata. In the end, she asked Kazuko's stand-in to transfer the land of Osaka to her name.
In this way, under the careful layout, Yin Lina inherited all the land under Kato's name.
Although Yue Tian confessed all the details, Yin Lina's disappearance out of thin air also caused a lot of headaches for the police, and no one could be found even after the national wanted 5 years after the crime.
However, the so-called Skynet is restored but not leaked, and 5 years later, a man suddenly came to report the case, saying that he saw a person who looked like Yin Lina.
When the police arrived, they found that the woman was Yin Lina, whom they had been wanting.
According to Yin Lina's confession, they also killed another homeless man to replace Takaki Kiyoshi, because his blood sugar level returned to normal, so they dismembered him to death.
In November 2013, Yin Lina was sentenced to life imprisonment, and Yue Tian was sentenced to 15 years in prison as an accomplice. This is the end of the case.
Hooking up with a rich old man, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, using the homeless, and finding a stand-in to pretend to be Kato's 3 daughters, Yin Lina must be complacent about her seamless plan and "wisdom". But when the judge announced that she would have to spend the rest of her life in prison, I don't know how the "smart" Yin Lina would feel.
We often say that there must be a bottom line in life. You can't go against your conscience and morality. You can't ruin your character and do whatever you want. It is often not others who push themselves into the abyss, but themselves.
