The case of is complicated and confusing. The police are investigating hundreds of people related to . Who is the murderer of ? Twenty years later, the truth of finally surfaced! "Eastern 110" broadcast the details of the case last night.

A full-time housewife was unfortunately killed at home

The suspect remains a mystery

The incident happened in a residential area on Guoding Road in Yangpu District. The victim was a 39-year-old full-time housewife Azhi (pseudonym).

At 5:30 that evening, Azhi’s son came home from school and knocked on the door, but no one answered. Since he didn't have a key to his house, he stayed at his neighbor's house next door to do his homework. It was not until 7 o'clock in the evening that Azhi's husband came home from get off work. When he opened the door with his son, he found that Azhi Azhi was lying behind the sofa in the living room with no signs of life.

After investigation, the police determined that Azhi was strangled by a power cord and died of suffocation. The power cord was unplugged from her fax machine, and the murderer used locally.

Based on the condition of the body, as well as the temperature, humidity in the air and other factors, the forensic doctor concluded that the victim was killed between 12 noon and 1:30 pm that day. The murderer entered the scene through a "soft entrance", that is, the owner opened the door to let him into the house.

It is understood that Azhi is a cautious person and usually does not open the door easily if someone knocks on the door. Moreover, she was wearing underwear on her upper body and pajamas on her lower body when she was killed. This also shows that the murderer may be a relatively familiar person to her.

After a thorough investigation, the police determined that the first place where the victim and the murderer fought was in her son's bedroom.

But the strange thing is that after committing the crime, the murderer took off Azhi's pajamas and cut off a piece of bed sheet and took him away from the scene of the crime.

From this, the police believe that there should be some important traces left on it. It can be seen that the murderer has a strong sense of counter-investigation and should be a male.

After further investigation, the police found a little cigarette ash in the kitchen water pipe, but no cigarette butts were found. Since the victim's husband was not at home smoking, the police concluded that this may be the left here by the murderer.

The motive of the murderer remains a mystery.

The case is at a deadlock.

According to the investigation, Azhi's husband is an executive of a company. Azhi works part-time as an air ticket agency, and her family's economic conditions are favorable.

Azhi’s house is a two-bedroom apartment with two living rooms. The community where it is located is one of the first batch of commercial housing after the era of welfare housing distribution in Shanghai. There were no surveillance cameras in the community 21 years ago. The police visited the community security guards and neighbors, but no one found anything unusual about the time of the crime.

Further autopsy showed that Azhi was not sexually assaulted. It is understood that Azhi had an outstanding appearance when she was young, and she also had suitors. The police investigated their suspicions of committing the crime one by one. In addition, after investigating social relations, there was no evidence that she had emotional entanglements or grudges with others. After investigation, the police found no signs of theft on the safe. Since Azhi is the person in charge of the financial power, the husband has no way to determine whether there is any financial loss. People related to the victim were eliminated as suspects one by one by the police.

At the same time, the police received reports from the public that they had heard an argument between the victim and her husband. Coincidentally, during the investigation, the task force also received an anonymous reporting letter. The person who reported it was conclusive, pointed out that the husband was unfaithful to the marriage..

The police immediately launched an investigation, but many witnesses said that the husband was working in the company during the time when the murder occurred,there was no abnormal behavior. The report letter mentioned that the husband had an affair with a female subordinate, and the police also conducted a multi-faceted investigation. Colleagues all said that ’s husband was an upright and upright man, and there was no problem with his style, let alone any motive for committing the crime.

The police later found the person who wrote the letter. The person admitted that the content in the letter was hearsay and pieced together based on imagination, without any factual basis.

The police also conducted detailed investigations on the persons related to the victim's husband. The total number of persons investigated was more than 300.

At this point, all the investigation paths before the police have exhausted their methods and reached the extreme. The case has never made a breakthrough and has reached a deadlock!

8 years later, used the latest criminal science and technology

The suspect was locked

In 2021, the police used the latest criminal science and technology to successfully lock in a Chinese man Zhang Dong (pseudonym). He was born in 1963 and currently lives overseas.

It turns out that when Zhang Dong returned to China in 2018, he left his own biological traces. With the development of criminal science and technology, in 2021, his sample was found to be consistent with the one left by the murderer at the scene of the crime center in 2021!

The police learned that Zhang Dong, who got his driver's license in 2000, drove a shuttle bus for a company for about half a year, and specially picked up corporate executives door-to-door, including the victim's husband, so he knew the address of the victim's home.

After resigning, Zhang Dong opened a chess and card room. He owed a huge gambling debt due to his bad gambling habit. It was also during that period that he sold his only house for only 10,000 yuan, which shows that he also committed crimes. motivation.

Later, he went to Yunnan to work and did not even attend the memorial service after his father passed away. Because they were together less and separated more, Zhang Dong's wife filed for divorce. After , Zhang Dong returned to Shanghai and cooperated to go through the procedures. Until 2012, he returned to his old career and drove a taxi locally after going abroad.

It was clear that Zhang Dong had the conditions and motives to commit the crime

After grasping that he was suspected of a major crime

, the police immediately placed him under surveillance.

On February 29 this year, the police received news that Zhang Dong was preparing to return to China. The police then went to the airport, went through the personnel handover procedures, and escorted him back to the Yangpu branch.

By questioning the victim’s husband, the police learned that he was usually hospitable and would invite employees with whom he had good relationships to go home for dinner.
