On October 8, 2013, a tricycle suddenly appeared in front of an abandoned shack in front of a funeral home in Wuzhi County, Henan Province, with what appeared to be a quilt covering its body.
Due to the relatively remote location of the funeral parlor and the absence of a village around it, the tricycle immediately caught the attention of the staff when they went to work.
A staff member approached to inspect and when he lifted the quilt, he was shocked to find a woman lying in the car body, her face having lost any blood. The experienced staff could tell at a glance that the woman had unfortunately passed away.
Seeing this, the staff immediately called the police and notified the police to come and deal with it. Soon after, police arrived at the scene and conducted a careful examination of the body. They found that the woman's chest, legs and other parts had different degrees of scars, and these injuries should have been caused by blunt force blows. These scars are shocking, and people can't help but feel sad about what happened to this woman.
The police preliminarily judged that this should be a homicide case. However, due to the relatively remote location of the funeral home, and there was no surveillance equipment in the vicinity at that time, the police could not determine who brought the body here. This made it very difficult for them, and the investigation of the case was at an impasse.
Upon careful search of the scene, the police found that the deceased did not have any identity documents on him. However, in a handbag next to the woman, the police found an electrocardiogram test sheet. However, there was no name on the list, which put the police investigation in a difficult position again.
However, the police did not give up. They noticed that the check-in time shown on the slip was around 7 a.m. on Oct. 7. Therefore, the police immediately visited the local hospitals in Wuzhi County, hoping to find some clues. After some hard work, they finally found the doctor who performed the ECG test at a local health center.
According to the doctor's recollection, on the morning of October 7, a middle-aged man in his 40s arrived at the hospital with a tricycle. He anxiously said to the doctor, "There is a critical patient downstairs, please go and see it!" The doctor immediately went downstairs and examined the woman. However, when he saw the woman's condition, he couldn't help but be shocked - the woman's body was covered with bruises, there was no heartbeat, and her pupils were dilated. The doctor reluctantly told the man that there was no need for the woman to be resuscitated.
After the ECG, the man carried the woman back to the car and left on a tricycle.
The police immediately followed the direction the man left and visited the nearby village, hoping to find clues about the man. Soon after, a member of the public recognized the man in the video and told the police that his name was Li Qiusheng.
Li Qiusheng, 45, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for rape and was released in 2011. After learning this important information, the police immediately drove to Li Qiusheng's home. However, when they arrived, they found that Li Qiusheng was not at home. His old father told them that Li Qiusheng had rarely returned home since he was released from prison and spent most of his time wandering outside.
However, through visiting the masses and observing the flickering eyes of Li Qiusheng's father, the police couldn't help but be suspicious in their hearts. They suspected that Li Qiusheng's father was hiding something, probably to protect his son.
In further investigation, the police learned an important clue. Li Qiusheng's neighbors reported that the blue tricycle was actually theirs. At around 6 a.m. on Oct. 7, Mr. Li borrowed the tricycle from him. The police immediately retrieved the surveillance video at the entrance of the local town government, and sure enough, they found Li Qiusheng riding a tricycle and pulling a woman to ride in the direction of the health center.
In addition, the neighbors also mentioned that on the night of October 6, they heard the wail of a woman being beaten from the Li family. These clues made the police more convinced that Li Qiusheng was the suspect they were looking for.
However, despite these clues, Li Qiusheng's father still insists that he does not know his son's whereabouts. The police decided to expand the scope of the investigation and search the place where Li Qiusheng might have fled.
According to local villagers, Li Qiusheng met a woman while working in Shanxi after being released from prison and took her back to his hometown. After this woman came to Li Qiusheng's hometown, she hardly went out and did not communicate with outsiders, so the villagers hardly saw her face, let alone knew her name.
This information made the eyes of the police shine, and they immediately conducted a detailed survey of the house rented by Li Qiusheng. Inside the house, they found a pink mobile phone. Through inquiries, they learned that the owner of this mobile phone is named Zhao Yanli.
The police quickly got in touch with Zhao Yanli's family and learned that Zhao Yanli was married and had two children. However, she often ran away from home because her husband was often abusive towards her. This news made the police even more convinced that Zhao Yanli was likely to be the woman who was taken away by Li Qiusheng.
In order to confirm the identity of the deceased, the police collected blood samples from Zhao Yanli's parents for comparison. After comparison, they confirmed that the deceased was Zhao Yanli.
After learning of this result, the police again found Li Qiusheng's father for questioning.
After in-depth investigation and analysis, the police had strong suspicions about Li Qiusheng's whereabouts. They believe that Li Qiusheng may have absconded to Shanxi, because he is relatively familiar with the place and has more room for concealment. As a result, the investigators in Shanxi immediately launched an operation, making every effort to find the phone booth where Li Qiusheng might be hiding.
After a lot of hard work, the scouts finally found the phone booth. According to the female owner of the phone booth, several men lingered in front of her phone booth with large bags of luggage. One of the men, she was particularly impressed by because he had made a phone call. The investigators pulled out a photo of Mr. Li for the proprietress to identify, and she almost certainly said that it was the man who called.
With this important clue, the investigators strengthened Li Qiusheng's belief that he was in Shanxi. They speculate that the escaped Li Qiusheng may have blended in with the local migrant workers to evade police pursuit. As a result, the police immediately carried out a comprehensive survey of the local construction site and other places.
On the morning of October 9, 2013, after intense investigation and comparison, the police finally determined Li Qiusheng's hiding place - he was hiding in an inconspicuous local construction site. Therefore, with the close cooperation of the local police, the police acted quickly and successfully arrested Li Qiusheng and brought him back to Wuzhi County.
After Li Qiusheng was arrested, in the face of police interrogation, he finally truthfully confessed the facts of his crime of beating his wife Zhao Yanli to death. According to his confession, he and Zhao Yanli are actually not familiar with each other. When he was working in Shanxi, he met Zhao Yanli at the train station. The two just chatted a few words, and Zhao Yanli followed him to Wuzhi, Henan.
Further police investigation revealed that Zhao Yanli had just escaped from her husband's house at that time, and perhaps because of her deplorable situation, she chose to follow this strange man out of Shanxi. Since they were never married, after Li Qiusheng brought Zhao Yanli back to Wuzhi, the two lived together as husband and wife. However, Li Qiusheng is extremely controlling, and he does not allow Zhao Yanli to communicate with others. If she is found talking to another man, she will be beaten up when she returns home.
At first, the life of the two was quite passable. Zhao Yanli is beautiful and has a certain affection for Li Qiusheng. After living together, Li Qiusheng thought about asking Zhao Yanli to give birth to a child for him, but Zhao Yanli said that she could not have children.
Although Li Qiusheng did not mention this matter again on the surface, the dissatisfaction and complaints in his heart grew like weeds. Whenever he was alone in bed in the dead of night, he would recall the bits and pieces with Zhao Yanli, and an indescribable anger surged in his heart.
The police are also confused about the reason why Zhao Yanli is reluctant to have children, and can only guess that it may be due to physical reasons, or she really doesn't want to give birth. But no matter what the reason, the dissatisfaction in Li Qiusheng's heart became more and more intense.
Gradually, Li Qiusheng found that Zhao Yanli always sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night. He was puzzled, so he secretly followed behind Zhao Yanli one night to find out. However, Zhao Yanli seemed to be aware of his tracking, looked back at him coldly, and then said, "What are you following me for?" Does it have anything to do with you? ”
Li Qiusheng was angered by Zhao Yanli's indifferent attitude, and the resentment in his heart erupted like a volcano. He decided to take action and keep Zhao Yanli firmly in his hands.
So, Li Qiusheng began to confiscate Zhao Yanli's mobile phone and locked her in the room and did not allow her to go out. He even used violent means to control Zhao Yanli and punched and kicked her. Every time Zhao Yanli begged for mercy, he would beat her even more angrily.
Li Qiusheng punched and kicked Zhao Yanli, thinking that this would make her dare not leave him. On the night of the incident, Li Qiusheng was drunk and brutal to Zhao Yanli for no reason, and the beating lasted from about 10 o'clock in the evening until about 1 o'clock in the morning.
In the process, Zhao Yanli kept begging for mercy, and her miserable cries woke up the neighbors. However, Li Qiusheng did not stop his violent behavior. It wasn't until he found that Zhao Yanli was no longer crying, and when he went to check on her, he found that she seemed to have lost her breathing, so he borrowed a tricycle and sent Zhao Yanli to the hospital for treatment the next morning.
Unfortunately, Zhao Yanli still passed away in the end. The results of the forensic autopsy showed that none of the skin on Zhao Yanli's body was intact, and it could be said that there were bruises all over her body.
According to the police's visit, Li Qiusheng's beating of Zhao Yanli was no accident. After Zhao Yanli was killed, Li Qiusheng was terrified, so he rode a tricycle to transport the body to the door of the funeral home, and then fled.
37-year-old Zhao Yanli chose to flee because she couldn't bear the hurt of her ex-husband, but she followed the stranger Li Qiusheng back to her hometown in Henan because of a few gullible words. She thought she would find a new life, but she was greeted with even more brutal violence. Although Li Qiusheng kept saying that he did not want to lose Zhao Yanli, the scars he inflicted on her body ruthlessly exposed his violent tendencies. In the end, Zhao Yanli was beaten to death in a foreign land, and her life came to an abrupt end.
