It is reported that in 2023, the junior surnamed Lai will just turn 18 years old, and his biological father will give him 30 real estate projects, with a market value of about NT$500 million. His father passed away at the end of April of the same year, and a farewell ceremony was held on May 3.
On May 4, a high school student surnamed Lai registered his marriage with a man surnamed Xia who handled the real estate for him, and only two hours after registration, a high school student surnamed Lai fell to his death at the man's residence.
Previously, Gao Dacheng, an extra-case forensic doctor entrusted by the deceased's mother, publicly speculated that the deceased was thrown from a high place after being poisoned, causing an uproar in public opinion. Since then, the forensic doctor and the lawyer representing the deceased's family have indicated that they will apply to a higher prosecutor to hear the case.

June 21, 2023
The Taichung District Prosecutor's Office issued a statement on the case
The prosecution said that the case was concluded after the prosecutor's investigation, and the defendant surnamed Xia and his father Xia were suspected of homicide, and after the prosecutor collected evidence in detail, it was decided not to prosecute the two because there was no sufficient evidence.
At the same time, because the defendant surnamed Xia went to the household administration department to fake the marriage without his true intention to get married, the prosecutor will file a public prosecution with the court on suspicion of "forging documents".
It is reported that the Taichung City District Court has repeatedly summoned witnesses who registered their marriages, teachers and students of schools, household affairs personnel, and the mother of a high school student surnamed Lai to follow up and investigate, and has also inspected many video recordings from the household administration office to track down many suspicious points such as the two people's hasty marriage witnesses to register their marriage on the day of Lai's father's funeral, and the emotional tendencies of the man surnamed Lai.
On June 28 this year, the Taichung District Court sentenced the defendant surnamed Xia to 1 year and 6 months in prison for "forging documents" and other crimes. On the same day, the lawyer representing the family of the high school student surnamed Lai said in an interview with the media that the family was very grateful to the prosecution and the court for their assistance in clarifying the facts and giving the defendant Xia an appropriate sentence.
