Hotel village shooting

1987, a vicious homicide occurred in Mayang County, Hunan Province: a woman was brutally killed, and the "murderer" was quickly captured by the police and shot at the end of the same year. Surprisingly, three years later, the "victim" came back alive. Then the problem is coming. Who is the man who was killed? How can the "murderer" be sentenced to death when he clearly didn't kill anyone? Let's reveal the secret for you.

After the incident,

1987 On the morning of April 27th, an old man in Mayang County was doing morning exercises. He found a snakeskin bag by the Jinjiang River, which was bulging and seemed to contain a lot of things. He curiously opened it and saw that it was a human leg, which scared him to almost have a heart attack on the spot. The police rushed to the scene and found six female bodies one after another.

Small Mayang county, unexpectedly broke such a vicious case, making the whole city panic. The higher authorities also attached great importance to this case and asked the police to solve the case within a time limit. Mayang police immediately set up a task force and put half of the police force into the case.

First, the police should identify the victim. Because there was no identity information left on the body, the police had to investigate the missing person in the county and found a woman named "Shi Xiaorong" mysteriously missing. The woman, a native of Guizhou, worked as a waitress in a hotel in Mayang County, but after only three months, she suddenly disappeared and lost contact with her family.

The police immediately rushed to Shi Xiaorong's hometown and found her family. According to the police's description, Shi Xiaorong's sister thinks that she is very similar to her sister in both hairstyle and body shape. Later, she identified the plaster statue of the dead man's bones and thought that her teeth were a bit like her sister's. With these "evidences", the police determined that Shi Xiaorong was the victim, and the next step was to find the murderer.

Shi Xiaorong was a hotel waiter before he disappeared, and the people he contacted were extremely complicated. According to the extremely professional way of dismemberment, the police concentrated on investigating two kinds of people: "doctor" and "butcher". Soon, a man named Teng Xingshan entered the police field of vision. He is not only a butcher, but also a prostitute in the hotel where Shi Xiaorong works. (Bottom: The only photo of Teng Xingshan)

1987 65438+On February 6, Teng Xingshan was taken away by the police, but he refused to admit that he had killed someone, so the police had to use some "means". A few months later, Teng Xingshan finally "confessed" and returned to the prison room scarred. Chen Gongliang, who shared a cell with him, comforted: "It's okay. The government will never wronged a good man." Hearing this, Teng Xingshan burst into tears: "You are guilty of gambling and will go out in a few days. My crime is losing my mind. I have a wife and children! " (Bottom: prisoner Chen Gongliang)

In this way, Teng Xingshan was identified as a "murderer" and sentenced to death. The task force happily set up two tables to celebrate the great disaster of the people. In the criminal judgment of that year, there was even such a vivid description: "1In late April 1987, the defendant Teng Xingshan slept with Shi Xiaorong, who had an affair with him, and found that he had lost his cash. He suspected that Shi Xiaorong had stolen it, so he chased Malanzhou and caught the stone. Shi Xiaorong struggled for help and was strangled alive. Later, the defendant dismembered Shi Xiaorong with tools such as axe and knife, and threw it into Jinjiang River to destroy the body ... "

Suspicious but killed.

After Teng Xingshan was arrested, his wife asked a lawyer to help him go to court and get back his innocence. The lawyer's name is Teng Ye, and he is related to Teng Xingshan by blood, but he didn't want to take this case at first, and felt that Teng Xingshan was a disgrace to his ancestors. Finally, I couldn't bear Teng Xingshan's wife's hard request, so I had to agree.

However, with the deepening of Teng Ye's investigation, he found that the case was not simple and even full of doubts. (Bottom: Teng Ye shows the case information of that year)

First, according to the investigators, Shi Xiaorong was strangled, but the autopsy report of the victim showed that the deceased was hit by a blunt instrument and died of a cheekbone fracture.

Second, Teng Xingshan's confessed crime tools were identified by forensic doctors, and it was finally determined that no human blood was found at suspicious points.

Third, the forensic doctor compared the victim's skull with Shi Xiaorong's photo and found that their skulls were not the same.

Fourth, according to the investigators, Teng Xingshan started from Malan Village and chased Malanzhou all the way, killing Shi Xiaorong. But there is a river between the two places, and the only passage can only pass when the water is low. On the day of the incident, it was raining cats and dogs in Mayang County, and the path had already been flooded. According to investigators, there are only two possibilities. One is that they both swam to Malanzhou at the risk of being washed away by the flood, and the other is that they both rented boats to Malanzhou. This case flow is really unreasonable.

Fifth, according to the boatmen who rowed the ferry in the upper reaches of Jinjiang River, they had seen the bodies. If Teng Xingshan dumped the body in Malanzhou, the body must have gone down the river. How can it appear upstream?

Life is a matter of life, so many doubts prove that Teng Xingshan must have been wronged, and local villagers also collectively came to plead for Teng Xingshan. But the police ignored them and told them, "This is not your decision. The government can't be wrong!" "

1989 65438+1On October 28th, Teng Xingshan was taken to the execution ground and shot. Before he was executed, the police asked him what his last words were. He shouted: "I really didn't kill anyone, I was wronged!" " But to no avail, he was taken away, forced to kneel on the ground and ended his life with a gunshot.

Wash away grievances

Time is up in a blink of an eye 1994. Liu, the hotel owner in those days, started a beech business. When he went to Guizhou for business, he happened to visit Shi Xiaorong's sister, Shi Jia. Shi told him that Shi Xiaorong was still alive. Hearing this, Liu was shocked: "How is this possible? I killed a man for this! "

It turned out that Shi Xiaorong was not killed when he disappeared, but was trafficked to Shandong by traffickers and married farmer Zhao. 1992, Shi Xiaorong gave birth to two children to the Zhao family, and then moved to contact his hometown. (Bottom: Teng Xingshan's daughter is filled with indignation when she mentions her father's grievances.)

For Teng Xingshan, Shi Xiaorong doesn't understand at all, let alone the so-called "ambiguous relationship". After hearing about Teng Xingshan's grievances, Shi Xiaorong was also shocked. She didn't expect that her disappearance would do such great harm to a family. And the victim of that year, I still don't know who it was.

On June 65438+1October 65438+August, 2006, the Hunan Provincial High Court made a retrial judgment and pronounced Teng Xingshan innocent. At this time, Teng Xingshan has been shot 17 years.
