On August 2nd, our newspaper reported (reporter Chao Guo Lu, correspondent Yuan Kun Wang) that a man was hired as a killer but because he threatened his employer to ask for money, under the instigation of his two employers, this "wannabe killer" was killed by his accomplice and then thrown into a well. On July 28th, the联动of Jinan Municipal Public Security Bureau and Shanghe County Public Security Bureau captured three of the criminal suspects.
In the morning of July 13th, Zhang, a villager from Qian Miao Village, Sunji Town, Shanghe County, prepared to go to the west of the village to draw water from the well to irrigate the field, but no matter what he did, he couldn't get any water. When he looked carefully into the well, he was instantly scared out of his wits. He saw a pair of human feet floating in the well.
On July 26th, the investigating policemen obtained an important clue: after defrauding more than 1 million yuan in bank loans, Wang Fayuan from Wangshi Village, Sunji Town fled. Previously, he had an improper relationship with Zhang Yixia from Gaoxianzhuang Village, Sunji Town, and even boasted about "killing a person". The case-handling policemen followed up on the clues and found out that while working in Tianjin, Wang Fayuan met Han Xinli, Han Xiaoshan, Zhang Yixia, and Zhang Linxiang (Zhang Yixia's younger brother). The deceased was Han Xinli. On the evening of July 28th, the policemen involved in the case rushed to Tianjin to capture Han Xiaoshan and Zhang Linxiang, while capturing Zhang Yixia in Sunji Town at the same time.
In September 2009, Wang Fayuan conspired with Zhang Linxiang, Zhang Yixia's younger brother, to hire Han Xiaoshan and Han Xinli as assassins to kill Zhang Yixia's husband, but the two never had the chance to carry out the murder. During this period, because Han Xinli repeatedly threatened Wang Fayuan to demand money, Wang Fayuan and Zhang Linxiang became angry and instructed Han Xiaoshan to get rid of Han Xinli.
At around 11 p.m. on January 24, 2010, after failing again to find an opportunity to commit the crime, Han Xiaoshan and Han Xinli rested at the side of a dirt road south of Wangpi Village, Sunji Town. Taking advantage of Han Xinli's unawareness, Han Xiaoshan used the murder weapon to violently strike Han Xinli's head and killed him. Afterwards, together with Wang Fayuan and Zhang Linxiang, they threw the body into the well.
