The murderer of two men in Zhuzhou, Hunan was arrested for killing and cooking their corpses. What happened?

On November 21, 2012, a man named Hu reported to the Guihua Road Police Station in Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province that his wife Liu Ying (pseudonym) had been missing for two days without any explanation. Hu told the police that he had no news from Liu Ying since the afternoon of November 19 and did not respond to his multiple calls. But around 8 o'clock that night, Liu Ying's brother-in-law received a text message from Liu Ying, saying that he was going out for a while and would be back soon.

What is suspicious is that this number belongs to Liu Ying's sister, but it was given to her husband a long time ago. Liu Ying knew about this, but specifically emphasized in the article that it was written to his sister, which aroused the suspicion of the police, who immediately began to investigate Liu Ying's whereabouts that day. After investigation, the police found that two of Liu Ying's friends, Florida and Li, had major suspicions. Not only are they Liu Ying's last accomplices, but they also have criminal records, are not adaptable to society, frequent mahjong parlors, and have good motives.

After learning of the situation, the police quickly arrested the two men and arrested them on December 7. A premeditated murder, in which a man is killed and the body is cooked, leads to an interrogation where the police learn what happened and where Liu Ying ended up. According to them, they wanted to steal money because they had no financial resources and lived in poverty. After some discussion, the two decided to go to the same house as Liu Ying who often went out to play mahjong. On the afternoon of November 19, Li tricked Liu Ying into coming to his home and asked him for his opinion on buying a house. When Liu Ying entered the room, they quickly subdued her, tied her hands and feet with ropes prepared in advance, and sealed her mouth with tape to prevent her from moving. After ensuring that Liu Ying would not lose control, they robbed him of the money and jewelry he carried with him, put a plastic bag over Liu Ying's head and suffocated him to death.

The initial text was then sent to create the illusion. After the robbery and murder were completed, the two sold the jewelry to Zeng's consignment shop and made a profit of 11,500 yuan. Zeng resold it to others and made a profit of 1,880 yuan. Including the 4,000 yuan in cash taken from Liu Ying, it was less than 20,000 yuan. Not only that, after killing Liu Ying, he also did something even crazier. He used tools prepared in advance to dismember Liu Ying's body. In order to cover up the traces, he stewed the body in a pressure cooker and added spices such as star anise and cinnamon to mask the smell. After three days and three nights of cooking, the body had been boiled to pieces. Liu's body was processed and destroyed along with Liu Ying's bones and clothes. They threw the things separately, and the farthest bag was thrown in Xiangtan. In this way, the two men completed a premeditated crime. Thought he could get away with it, but he got caught.

Liu and Li, who commit bad acts and will be punished by law, committed such a cruel crime of killing and cooking corpses for less than 20,000 yuan. An innocent life was killed and a family lost a loved one. Both have criminal records, li was jailed for 15 years for theft and liu had a history of drug abuse. Instead of turning over a new leaf and turning over a new leaf, they went from bad to worse. Especially Liu, who destroyed the body and wiped out traces, still showed no regrets after being arrested. In doing so, he will pay for his crimes.

In the end, Li, Liu and Zeng, who helped them sell stolen goods, were all arrested in accordance with the law and punished by law. For Liu Ying and his family, there is also a lot of pain and regret. There is no doubt that this is a tragedy. At present, the level of criminal investigation is constantly improving, and citizens' legal awareness is also gradually increasing. Incidents like this will become fewer and fewer, and criminals who cross the line without regard for human life will eventually be punished.
