Holmes's classic quote "There is no perfect crime in the world", but due to some conditions, circumstances, and the limitations of the times, some cases have become perfect crimes.
The world's most unsolved sensational cases: the Black Dahlia case in the United States, the Nanda corpse case in China, the disappearance of the Daegu frog boy in South Korea, the Jack the Ripper case in the United Kingdom, the Zodiac Killer case in the United States, and the Setagaya Massacre in Japan. . . . . These cases of a bad nature, if the devil knows, the devil is also afraid.
At present, the criminal case solving rate is not high, Japan is the highest, close to 60%, followed by Germany with about 55%, Chinese mainland and the United States are similar, about 40%, resulting in the late arrival and even lack of human life and justice.
Hell is open, and demons are on earth.
The reality is cruel, every undertaker has more or less pressure on the case can not go on, many of our instructors from the front line down the psychology still think about the previous unsolved cases, and even how many unjust souls in the hands of the hands are not sunk to the snow are remembered clearly...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > anyone who has seen the movie "Memories of a Killing" will certainly not forget the last scene of the film: the policeman played by Song Kanghao, a pair of red-blooded eyes staring straight at the camera, seems to be able to penetrate the screen to tell the murderer: "I will definitely find you, never die." </h1>
A long close-up of a face: a police officer with a complicated expression and tears in his eyes. From the subtitles, the background is still a good scenery of blue sky and wheat fields, but less brilliant, more haze.
This meaningful shot reveals that he once again felt endless despair.
Those faces with ordinary looks that cannot make an impression are like the grasshoppers in the opening scene drowning in a large wheat field, the sea of people is vast and hidden. This unsolvable case will be a brand in his life, accompanied by nightmare pain and resentment, which cannot be shaken off and will always be with him.
The prototype of the case in "Memories of Killings", the "Hwaseong Serial Murder Incident", is the most significant unsolved case in South Korea since the 1980s.
A total of 10 women were killed, the oldest being 71 years old and the youngest only 14 years old;
In order to investigate, the police dispatched more than 2.05 million police forces, investigating more than 20,000 people and fingerprinting 40,000 people.
But the real murderer has been falling into the fog.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > the real culprit was arrested 33 years later, but sadly the prisoner was not punished by law due to the end of the prosecution period. </h1>
South Korea's SBS TV reported on the evening of September 18 that South Korean police identified the suspect in the sensational Hwaseong serial murder case through DNA. It is reported that the police used technical means to completely restore the DNA of the murderer, and after comparison, it was found that it was completely consistent with the DNA of a man in the prison.
murderer
The leader of the investigation team in this case, Ha Seung-kyun, began to participate in the investigation from the fourth case.
Seeing the dead die tragically, Ha Shengjun felt very indignant, "(Seeing that scene) People who are not angry are simply not human. ”
During the investigation, he did not get a good night's sleep, and did not go home for 38 consecutive days to take a shower, "which is something that is possible to have hatred for the murderer." ”
Unfortunately, in the 1980s, when there were no computers, no mobile phones, and no CCTV, due to the limited investigative conditions and the lack of experience in handling large-scale criminal cases, the police's methods of solving cases were quite rough and primitive.
As "Memories of a Killing" says, it is "investigating with your feet."
To this end, the police have sent a large number of people to disperse in various villages, to check the residents of the village one by one, and to ask the villagers whether there are any suspicious people or things.
As long as it is a suspicious male, or has a previous conviction, it is indiscriminately arrested and interrogated, or severely tortured.
Horrors such as "Don't wear red clothes to go out on rainy days" and "There are murderous demons wandering outside" occupy people's minds, and people are afraid for a while, and the doors of their homes are closed.
"Who in the village dared to go out at that time, it was terrible."
In Tai'anyi in 1990, due to a series of homicides, the residents of the village moved away one after another. Yonhap News Agency
Ha Seung-kyun, who has served in the police station for half a lifetime, has handled a total of 292 homicide cases, most of the murderers will flee in a hurry after committing the crime, only the murderer of the Hwaseong case "after rape and murder, scarred the out-of-breath child, it is really a demon beyond common sense." ”
Ha Shengjun was even more unabashedly blunt, "If I get caught, then I don't have to go to court, I will personally solve him." ”
Ha Shengjun believes that as long as the murderer is alive, he will not stop killing. He even shouted to the murderer in the air: "I must see you, so don't die first." ”
In 2006, the same year that the Hwaseong deadline expired, Ha Seung-jun retired with a sense of frustration and guilt.
Unlike ordinary crime films, there is never a real image of a murderer in "Memories of Killing".
Only the victims died one by one, and the suspects appeared one after another, but none of them were real murderers.
The criminal police searched endlessly for clues, and every time it seemed to touch the corner of the real murderer's clothes, the real touch was once again out of hand and away. In the end, both the criminal police and the audience only fell into a deep sense of powerlessness.
The police once thought that this person was the real murderer, and as a result, a DNA test report returned the case to the original point.
Now, with the help of increasingly advanced technology, the South Korean police have found through DNA comparison that Lee Mou, a prisoner serving a sentence in Busan Prison, is consistent with the DNA collected at the scene of the 5th, 7th and 9th Hwaseong serial murder cases.
Moreover, during the period of the case, that is, from 1986 to 1991, Li had been living in Tai'anyi, Hwaseong County, only 3 kilometers away from the scene of the incident, right under the eyes of the police.
Li married his wife and had children in 1991 (which may be the reason why he stopped killing), moved to Cheongju in 1993, and raped and killed his wife's sister in 1994 and threw away the body, in the same way as the Hwaseong serial murder case, Li was sentenced to life imprisonment and imprisoned.
According to the recollection of the criminal police who arrested Li at that time, Li's wife once cried and complained that her husband had sexual perverted tendencies and often beat her for no reason, and also locked her son in the room and punched and kicked her.
Now, despite the fact that a strong real suspect has been found, the sense of powerlessness has not disappeared – the 15-year prosecution period has long passed, and the suspect will no longer be punished for this case.
Ha Shengjun said indignantly, "Isn't this just protecting the human rights of the murderer, but not the human rights of the victims?" ”
In 1994, Li Mou (right) was arrested for killing his sister-in-law and was investigated at the Cheongju Police Station with his head covered.
Even, because the prosecution period has passed, if Li refuses to be interrogated by the police, the police have no right to force interrogation.
But so far, Li has cooperated with the police for a long time on three occasions, however, he has clearly denied the criminal charges in the Hwaseong case.
Some experts believe that Li's denial of the allegations may be out of self-preservation. Although sentenced to life imprisonment, Li has served more than 20 years in prison and has performed well, is a first-class model offender, and has the opportunity to obtain parole.
It is said that Li mou lives a fairly peaceful life in prison, and even hearing news related to himself has not fluctuated at all.
At the same time, he became fascinated with pottery, exhibiting his handmade ceramics at the 2011 and 2012 Prisoner Ceramics Exhibitions – with those soft hands.
During the long time of waiting for the truth, many people involved in the case have suffered greatly.
The husband of the victim of the seventh case, who had been drinking heavily since his wife's death, also died shortly thereafter.
The mother of another victim, who looked at the location where her daughter's body was found and washed her face with tears, ended up with hatred three years ago, failing to see the day the truth came out.
At the scene of the fourth case, a scarecrow was erected, which read: If you do not turn yourself in, [you] will rot on all fours and die.
In March 1990, suspect A, who was subjected to high-pressure interrogation by the police, committed suicide by jumping into the train tracks;
In April 1991, B, who was designated as the suspect in the 10th case, jumped from the roof of a 4-story apartment and died;
The suspect in the 7th case, C, was released due to insufficient evidence and committed suicide in front of his father's grave.
There is also a suspect, Jin Mou, who was reported as the murderer of the 4th and 5th cases. The whistleblower said, "I dreamed that Jin mou was the murderer, which is clearly a revelation from God." ”
Under violent police interrogation, Jin was forced to confess to the crime and was finally released due to insufficient evidence, but after he attempted suicide in 1993, he died of sequelae in 1997.
Tragedies have also happened to the police.
Four of the police officers investigating the Hwaseong case died of excessive stress after retiring from the front line; some criminal police officers were injured during the investigation, resulting in paralysis of the lower body...
So many lives lost, so many unbearable sufferings, everything can no longer be changed and recovered.
As director Bong Joon-ho said, "The memory itself is the beginning of punishment." ”
However, the murderer Li Mou was sentenced to life imprisonment, and he also got the punishment he deserved, the so-called "good and evil will eventually be repaid, and the heavenly path is good for reincarnation." Look up in disbelief, the heavens have spared no one. ”
