1997 March 18, the chill in early spring has not dissipated and it is raining. Ms. Hu, 26, is going to walk back to her residence in Yangpu District from the farmers' market. It was already 6 o'clock in the evening. Due to the weather, there are few pedestrians on the road. When she walked to a construction site near her home, her head was suddenly attacked, she fainted to the ground and never woke up.
This is the first case committed by "ghost knocking on the head". Since then, it has become a long-term nightmare for Shanghai residents, which has caused this originally calm city to panic. Only two days after committing the crime, the murderer couldn't wait to commit the second crime. The victim this time is Ms. Shi, 4 1 year old. At that time, she came home and found that she didn't have the key to the corridor door, so she asked her husband to throw it down. Who knows that in just a few minutes upstairs, Ms. Shi was murdered.
From then on, until April 14, 2020, the murderer committed another crazy crime 13. All the victims were middle-aged and elderly women, with 2 deaths and serious injuries 12. All the victims were hit on the head with a blunt instrument, and then their belongings were taken away. Only one victim named Kan has a general impression of the physical characteristics of the murderer: he is about 1.7 meters tall, burly, wearing a yellow coat and speaking Mandarin.
For a time, Shanghai residents turned pale at the idea of "ghost knocking at the head" and even evolved many terrible legends. At night, there are few pedestrians in the street, and everyone is afraid to go out alone. Even if they have to go to work, women will let their husbands accompany them, and even worse, they will wear helmets to go out, for fear that they will become the victims of the next head-bashing case.
Because the murderers all attacked suddenly from behind, resulting in the lack of witnesses and strong evidence, the case was once deadlocked. Just as the police were searching for evidence, on April 14, 2020, the last knock on the hair happened. This time, the victim was lucky enough to survive, and brought an important clue: the gold necklace with a chicken heart that she was robbed was a picture of a mandarin duck playing in the water, and her son's name "Yue Ming" was engraved on the back, which was a unique material evidence.
According to this clue, the police investigated the surrounding gold shops. Sure enough, the murderer went to the jewelry store to repair the necklace. According to the boss's description, the police successfully locked the suspect Wei Guangxiu. The Municipal Public Security Bureau dispatched police quickly and successfully captured Wei Guangxiu who was hiding at home on April 5, 2020 1 1. After the news came out, the nervous nerves of Shanghai residents in the past few days finally breathed a sigh of relief.
According to Wei Guangxiu, he is from Lixin County, Anhui Province. He was born in 197 1. After graduating from junior high school, he went to Shanghai as a soldier and got married and had children here. Wei Guangxiu has a criminal record of 1993 being jailed for theft, but he just got out of prison less than half a year ago and committed a shocking "stepping stone".
Wei Guangxiu said that everything he did was for his family. The child is only five years old and needs money too much. In the last case, he robbed the gold necklace because his wife's bracelet was lost and he wanted to give her another one. When talking about his wife and children, Wei Guangxiu looks gentle, as if he were a good father and husband, but he never thought that he had ruined the happiness of countless families for his own family.
1June 1997 13, Wei Guangxiu was executed. During the trial, he said with regret: "Why do people understand the value and meaning of life after losing their lives? I believe I am not the first person to commit a crime, nor the last. Can those who have never committed a crime take me as a warning? This price is really too high. I regret it. "
