Cartons of the Top Ten Mysteries in Hong Kong

12 17 at 7 o'clock in the morning: Hu Yongkang, a staff member of a veterinary clinic, found a cardboard box lying on the roadside outside the door, which contained the naked body of the deceased. The deceased Bian was found dead in Hitachi S67B TV box.

The carton of this TV set became the key to solving the case.

After investigation, an electrical appliance company in Austin Road, Kowloon, found out the agent of this brand, and learned that this brand was launched in Hong Kong in early April of 1972. These cartons containing dead bodies may be sold on Hong Kong Island from 1973 to the day of the crime.

After testing, it is confirmed that the carton is the same as that sold by the agent. In order to trace the source of welders, the task force asked 750 people who worked in Happy Valley Electric Store. Find 50 different kinds of cars and try to put cartons in the trunk.

Finally, the suspect Bingqiang Ouyang was found and the court finally found him guilty.

The highlight of this case is that the "carton corpse case" is the first carton corpse case in Hong Kong. The case turned around and caused a sensation in Hong Kong. This is also the first time in Hong Kong's history that forensic technology was used to successfully convict without witnesses present. But whether Bingqiang Ouyang is really a murderer is still controversial.

It is said that the police called his house in the middle of the night to pretend to be the dead, and he didn't respond at all. Then he still refused to admit killing anyone. When he signed the confession, he also said, "Although I signed it, it doesn't mean I did it." After the verdict, Bingqiang Ouyang's family appealed several times, but all of them were rejected.

On September 1 1, 2002, Bingqiang Ouyang, the protagonist of this case, was released on parole after serving 28 years in prison, while Qiangsao and her children disappeared. The reporter asked Ouyang Shouqiang if he had killed anyone in those years. Ouyang Shouqiang said that this case has come to an end and will not be mentioned again in his lifetime. ...

Bingqiang Ouyang, a famous Hong Kong ex-convict. 1974, he killed 16-year-old female student Bian and hid the body in a cardboard box, which became a sensational "Happy Valley Carton Case". Later, after scientific verification, it was proved that the murderer was Ouyang himself. He was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. But some Hong Kong people living at that time thought he was innocent.

It is worth mentioning that it is Tang Jiahua, a current member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, who appealed for Bingqiang Ouyang.

In September 2002, 1 1 was released and changed his name to start a new life. At 5: 30 pm on February 16, 74, Bian left home.

At 6: 30 pm that day, I called my female classmate Chen Binbin and met her at Happy Valley Tram Terminal. But when Chen arrived, there was no trace of the deceased.

12 17 at 7 o'clock in the morning: Hu Yongkang, a staff member of a veterinary clinic, found a paper box lying on the roadside outside the door, which contained the naked body of the deceased. The body of the deceased was found in a Hitachi S67B TV box. When Beya (Chief Inspector of Major Crimes Unit, police force for ten years) took over the case at the end of 65438+February of 74, he went to Anmei Beverage Company in Happy Valley several times, searched a small room in the workshop and seized wires and welding machines, which became an important clue to solve the case.

After testing, it is confirmed that the carton is the same as that sold by the agent. In order to trace the source of welders, the task force asked 750 people who worked in Happy Valley Electric Store. Find 50 different kinds of cars and try to put cartons in the trunk.

65438, 7513, October, the police searched Anmei Beverage Company. At that time, the defendant (Bingqiang Ouyang) seemed a little flustered, and his neck nerves kept beating. Then he was calm and didn't object to the police search. The police summoned two mechanical and scientific experts to the scene and seized red plastic wires, a batch of cartons, two newspapers and a batch of clothes in a small room.

654381October 4, the police went to the defendant's residence in Chai Wan, took him back to the police station for questioning, and released him a few days later.

On October 22nd, 65438/KLOC-0, the police went to the above address and seized 23 items, most of which were clothes of the defendant.

The police found out that the defendant was on duty from 6: 00 pm to 65: 438+00: 30 pm on February 6, 16, and the defendant held the key to the company gate.

On March 27th, the police arrested the defendant in his apartment while he was taking a bath.

At the police headquarters, the defendant told Bian's photo that he didn't know each other, had never seen her borrow her mobile phone, and had never seen Amy's carton. On the day of the crime, there was no strange sound. 17 rework as usual in the morning and return to Anmei in the evening. I didn't know there was murder. When I came home at night, I learned about the case from my wife and son. Her wife smiled and said that he had committed the murder. He said, "If I do it, it will be sharp."

The defendant expressed interest in watching James Bond movies, horror movies and movies about new weapons. The Quaker's name for Sunday

Defendant: White shirt with tie, neat hair, calm look, watching his wife defecating in court from time to time.

Prosecutor: This case will rely on a lot of environmental evidence. If the evidence is combined without doubt, you will be convicted.

Quote three metaphors: stockings, light and puzzles.

Jury: 5 men and 2 women

The prosecutor leads the jury: the case depends on many environmental evidences. If there is no reasonable doubt after synthesizing the evidence, the defendant can be convicted. It is impossible to be 100% sure in any case.

There are 15 prosecution witnesses in this case, and there are more than 200 exhibits in the court, most of which are men's and women's woolen coats and underwear, and there are three tables 12 feet X 3 feet long in the court.

One of the most special exhibits is a special plastic model, curled up in a cardboard box for TV sets.

Other exhibits: welding machine, Spanner, wire, iron saw, account; In addition, there are twenty or thirty small white boxes containing hair, burnt pubic hair and clothing fibers. These exhibits were also photographed in color and displayed in court. They are environmental material evidence in scientific evidence collection, which is used to indirectly prove the criminal offences committed by criminals without witnesses.

The autopsy report found that:

-The victim was strangled by his right arm.

-Time of death: 16 February 6 from 6 pm to early morning.

-The victim is still a virgin

-The victim's nipple was cut off.

-The victim's pubic hair was burned (by a welder)

Scientific verification part:

There were some clothing fibers on the victim's body and nails, just like those in the defendant's house.

-there was wire glue in the dead man's hair, and this physical evidence was also found on Ah Mui.

-There's fiber hair from the female victim in the workshop. -There was a piece of paper on the elbow of the deceased, on which were printed two Chinese characters "Welded".

the next day

Demonstration of corpse removal: the policewoman pretended to be a corpse and squatted in a carton, and Beya demonstrated the method of corpse removal. After that, the presiding judge and the jury went to Happy Valley to give a live demonstration. The whole process took about 20 minutes and attracted many passers-by.

Environmental evidence proves that cartons can be dragged out of doors through gates or thin doors.

Bian's brother (the last person to see the dead) confessed:

-cooking at home that afternoon. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, he received a phone call and talked for two or three minutes. After seven or eight minutes, he answered another phone call and talked for another three minutes.

—— I went out at 5 o'clock and went back to Causeway Bay Night School, one and a half hours earlier than usual.

-before he left, he said that he would go to the news building to help his brother advertise.

The police confirmed that the carton containing the body had been placed in the workshop, and also confirmed that the fibers on the back, left foot and left arm of the female deceased were the same as those on the defendant's suit.

The fourth day

The forensic doctor demonstrated how the deceased was killed;

-The victim died of suffocation.

-It was originally estimated that Bian died between 9 pm and 12 pm. Later, it was found that the time of death after strangulation was advanced to 6 o'clock to 12, because the body temperature would be higher after strangulation (the body temperature dropped every hour after death 1.5 degrees).

-Inferred from the cellular reaction, the pubic hair of the deceased was burned and the nipple was cut after death. The pubic hair of the deceased was not burned by fire, because there was a clear boundary, and it was obviously burned by a hot object.

-The victim is still a virgin

According to the blood cell sedimentation, it is confirmed that the deceased was moved into the box within one to two hours after death.

-The deceased had food residue in his stomach and had eaten three hours before his death (usually, the food would not be discharged from his stomach until four hours after eating).

Fifth day

Scientific verification part:

-The deceased had a piece of paper marked "not welded" in his hand, and there was a piece of paper marked "repaired" in the workshop, which was consistent with the appearance.

-Green copper wire was found in the burnt pubic hair ash of the deceased.

Carpet search for evidence: the process of absorbing subtle evidence at the scene with a vacuum cleaner.

The judge told the people at the scene not to take a deep breath to avoid blowing away the evidence. When this statement came out, it caused laughter. The jury should be careful.

sixth day

Two girls testified in court that the defendant burned their skirts on the ferry in the summer of' 73.

Defendant's defense:

-He didn't burn his skirt. He thinks that the person who did it is despicable. He often passes through Kwun Tong from Shau Kei Wan and never notices anyone who looks like him.

Fibers are also coincidences.

-There are many coincidences in this case, * * * 13.

He wore that suit because he was going to a colleague's party that night, but he hung it at home first. He thinks that those fibers may be obtained when shaking hands with people at the party, or someone may wear the same square clothes as him, and the fibers may not necessarily come from his suit.

-He looked flustered when the police saw him. Actually, it was because he had a drink that night.

Defence counsel:

-It's unfair for the police to concentrate on tracking the defendant.

-when Chen Binbin received the phone call from the deceased, he heard a voice behind him, probably from the teahouse. It takes one hour for the deceased to travel from Shau Kei Wan to Happy Valley. He advertised while eating on the road …

-In order to prove the defendant guilty, the prosecution deliberately said the time of death earlier. Bingqiang Ouyang's "ex-death row" was released from prison.

In a blink of an eye, 28 years later, Bingqiang Ouyang, who was imprisoned at the age of 26, was already an "Abreu" with gray temples. It is reported that in view of Bingqiang Ouyang's good performance in prison, the Prison Review Committee of the Hong Kong Correctional Services Department considered him eligible for release and granted him early release from prison. However, he still needs to live in a halfway house designated by the police for two years and be supervised. Two years later, the review committee will review his situation again. If he behaves well, he can formally leave the ranks of released prisoners and restore his freedom.

According to the usual practice, prisoners who have been in prison for a long time will be accompanied by the Correctional Services Department officers who are in charge of supervision on "Hong Kong Tour" to re-understand the social environment. On September 16, accompanied by the staff of the Correctional Services Department, Bingqiang Ouyang made his first public appearance, took public transport and taxis, and told the media about his feelings after he was released from prison. Great changes have taken place in Hong Kong in the past 28 years. In Bingqiang Ouyang's eyes, everything is new. The more people there are, the higher the building is. The tallest building in those days is now inconspicuous. Supermarket, mobile phone, computer, subway, octopus, these new things, he learned to use them one by one and made many jokes.

Although many years have passed, in the face of the culprit of the carton case, the question that journalists are most concerned about is "Did you kill anyone in those years?" In this regard, Bingqiang Ouyang just calmly said: "This case has come to an end and I don't want to mention it again in my lifetime." He said that the case was many years ago and the fact that he was convicted could not be rewritten. He only hopes that society will give him encouragement, forgiveness and support. Regarding this release, he said: "Not every prisoner who has been imprisoned for life can come out. Thanks to the gift of the authorities, I will cherish it. " After he was released from prison, Bingqiang Ouyang was most happy to be reunited with his sister who had been with him for many years. However, his wife, who had been supporting him all those years, disappeared, and it is said that she remarried with her daughter.

Bingqiang Ouyang's release from prison caused different repercussions in Hong Kong society. Most of the policemen who handled the case in those days have retired. They all suspect the actions of the authorities, and think that Bingqiang Ouyang is a criminal with high IQ and still has certain dangers. Many young citizens have no impression of this case. They sympathize with Bingqiang Ouyang, who is now old, and think that "the best years of his life have been spent in prison, and this punishment is enough." Interestingly, despite the great changes in Hong Kong, Mrs. Lin, the first cleaning woman who found the "cardboard box hiding the body", is still working as a cleaner in the same place. When the reporter asked her to express her opinion, she shook her head in her seventies and didn't want to mention it again, saying that it was scary to think of it!
