In 2022, the two sons of a 55-year-old farmer woman were imprisoned for fraud. In July of the same year, out of jealousy, she brutally murdered a three-year-old boy who was passing by a relative's house.
After the case fermented on the Internet, netizens said: This mother is so vicious, we can be regarded as knowing why her son is in prison!
Returning to his hometown to visit relatives, his son is missing
Born in a small village in Jingdong Yi Autonomous County, Yunnan Province, Mr. Zi came to work in Guangdong Province as an adult, and was introduced to Ms. Liang, who was a similar age. The two have similar personalities, and soon went from love to marriage.
A few years after marriage, Ms. Liang gave birth to a daughter and a son, and the family of four lived an ordinary and happy life. Every year, when he is not busy at work, Mr. Zi will take his wife and two children back to his hometown to visit relatives.
At the end of July 2022, Mr. Zi returned to Jingdong County with his family to visit relatives, and his hair happened to return to his hometown with his family. The two families lived very closely, so they often visited each other's homes.
At noon on July 28, Mr. Zi took his three-year-old son Chengcheng and the children of relatives to the town to go shopping.
Cheng Cheng has liked Ultraman in cartoons since he was a child, so Mr. Zi bought him a pair of blue slippers printed with Ultraman patterns and a sword toy of Ultraman. Although the size of the shoes was a little larger, Cheng Cheng was still very excited.
In the afternoon of the same day, Mr. Zi brought a pair of children to Fa Xiao's house, and he and Fa Xiao sat in the house and chatted about the current situation.
Several children were playing together in the yard outside the house, and Cheng Cheng's pair of big slippers were running on the ground, snapping all the time, as if to remind Mr. Zi that he was having a good time.
After drinking a cup of tea, Mr. Zi suddenly felt strange, as if he hadn't heard the sound of his son's slippers for a while.
He ran to the yard to see that Cheng Cheng was gone, and the other children couldn't tell when Cheng Cheng ran out of their yard.
The village is not big, and Mr. Zi and Fa Xiao shouted Chengcheng's name everywhere to look for it, but found nothing. Since Mr. Zi called his wife and his parents again, more and more villagers have participated in the search.
That afternoon, a peasant woman named Zhong behaved very actively. Zhong's husband Zi Mouyi is Mr. Zi's uncle, so she is also related to Cheng Cheng and is Cheng Cheng's second grandmother.
Zhong took Ms. Liang, who was not familiar with the surrounding routes, to search around, and at 5 p.m. that day, the two found the shoe prints of two children on the side of the road at the steep slope.
When Mr. arrived, he recognized it at a glance that it was the mark left by the pair of Ultraman slippers. A three-year-old child ran so far away from home, and the hearts of everyone present hung in the air.
The villagers searched around around for shoe prints, and at 9 p.m., some enthusiastic villagers found the hilt of the Ultraman slippers and the Ultraman sword toy.
After calling the police, the police deduced that the child should have been trafficked. Later, the Jingdong Yi Autonomous County Public Security Bureau filed a case for investigation.
Murder out of jealousy, harm others, and harm oneself
However, in the subsequent investigation, the police and Mr. Zi increasingly felt that Zhong's behavior was suspicious. Her yard is very close to her husband's house, but she has always refused to allow people to come to her house to find someone, on the grounds that someone has already searched her family's house.
After Chengcheng's shoe prints were discovered, Mr. Zi's mother wanted to ask the police to send a police dog to help find the child's traces, but Zhong prevented him from doing so on the grounds that the police dog was too expensive.
In August, Yunnan was in the rainy season, and under the heavy rain, Chengcheng's buried body was washed away by the rain and exposed. On the afternoon of August 19, Chengcheng's body was found by villagers on the edge of a small stream, and there was still the remaining part of the sword toy next to the body.
After some careful investigation, the police finally caught the real culprit who killed Cheng Cheng. In September, Zhong was arrested by the police for intentional homicide.
Mr. Zi only goes back to his hometown once or twice a year, and he has no contact with Zhong's family, let alone contradictions. Mr. Zi and his younger brother both started a family and a business in the city, and they worked decently and wealthily, and they returned to their hometown several times a year to get back the money to supplement their parents.
Zhong's family was originally in good condition, but not long ago, her two sons were imprisoned for telecom fraud, and she felt ashamed, so she became less and less involved with people in the village.
Zhong also mentioned in the transcript that his son was imprisoned, and Zhong felt that everyone in the village looked down on her, and he felt very inferior.
Whenever she celebrates the New Year's holidays, she will be sad when she sees that other people's children have returned to their hometowns, but she is separated from her son.
At noon on the day of Chengcheng's disappearance, Mr. Zi's youngest daughter took her parents to Zhong's house because Zhong's grandson kicked and soiled her pants, and finally Zhong's grandson apologized, but Zhong held a grudge.
That afternoon, when Cheng Cheng ran to the yard of Zhong's house alone, she looked at this lively and innocent child, and thought that her husband's family could be reunited, but her two sons had not been home for several years. I was angry for a while.
When Cheng Cheng wanted to leave, Zhong chased after him and forcibly hugged Cheng Cheng. In order to prevent him from shouting loudly and being discovered by others, Zhong simply choked Chengcheng's neck with his hand, and after a while, Chengcheng lost his breath and stopped struggling.
After that, Zhong found a pocket in the pigsty and put Chengcheng's body in it, and found a place to hide the pocket.
According to the surveillance video near Zhong's house, at half past two in the afternoon of July 28, Cheng Cheng's voice shouting the second grandmother in a childish tone was heard in the surveillance, and after a while, Zhong's voice asked "What are you running?"
A few minutes later, the surveillance captured Zhong entering and exiting next to the pigsty.
After another half an hour, the surveillance photographed Zhong going out wearing an apron with bulging pockets. According to Zhong's record, she went out with Chengcheng's slippers and toys to discard at this time.
At one o'clock in the morning on July 29, the surveillance photographed Zhong going out in the rain with a bag on her back, and she was about to go out to throw her body at this time.
The reason why Ms. Liang saw her son's shoe prints before was also due to Zhong's deliberate guidance, she wanted everyone to mistakenly think that Cheng Cheng was abducted and trafficked, so that the case could be closed as soon as possible.
After the case fermented on the Internet, netizens expressed their opinions one after another.
Everyone thinks that Zhong, a 55-year-old woman, killed a helpless three-year-old child passing by because she was jealous of other people's children, and the two are still related, which is really outrageous.
Netizens said that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and seeing this mother acting so viciously, they also know why her two sons are in prison.
Mr. Zi told reporters that the murder of Cheng Cheng left the whole family grief-stricken.
He and his wife couldn't sleep well every night, and his father was deaf from the loss of his grandson. Chengcheng's aunt and grandmother were still asking about the progress of the case before they died.
Although Zhong had previously retracted his confession in court and refused to admit guilt, on April 21, 2024, the verdict in the case was finally announced, and Mr. Zi's family also waited for this belated justice. But that lively and lovely little Chengcheng will never come back.
Zhong's jealousy ruined the happiness of Mr. Zi's family and his own life.
