At the same time, Duan San found that in addition to himself and her husband, Wang Xiaoping had another man outside. He told his "new lover" Li Xiaoli about his troubles and said he was at a dead end and didn't want to live anymore. Every time they talked about it, Li Xiaoli would always try to persuade him.
A few hours later, the suspect committed suicide at home. After getting the clue, the police rushed to Duan San's residence. At Duan San's house, the door was locked from the outside. The police took out their flashlights to check the situation. Through the door crack, they faintly saw Duan San lying on the kang (a traditional Chinese bed), covered in blood. Therefore, the police immediately broke down the door and entered. A shocking scene awaited them inside. Both of Duan San's wrists were cut open, and a dagger was stuck in his abdomen. A bowl of black liquid was placed beside him. From the chaotic scene, it was highly likely that Duan San had self-mutilated. When the police approached, Duan San was already barely breathing. Upon seeing this, the police immediately sent him to the hospital.
To avoid drawing attention, he renewed his one-day rent with the landlady again and fled back to his hometown on the pretext of an emergency. After returning home, realizing his mistake, Duan San lost control of his emotions. He locked himself inside the house, hastily wrote a letter to his children, then slashed both of his wrists with a razor blade and stabbed himself in the abdomen with a dagger. Simultaneously, he swallowed sulfuric acid poured into a bowl, intending to end his life. Due to drinking the sulfuric acid, Duan San's esophagus has been burned, making it impossible for him to eat. Lying in the hospital, he deeply regretted his actions. (All names in this article are pseudonyms.)
It turned out that Duan San was an ordinary worker in the village. During his work, Duan San met the deceased Wang Xiaoping. Although Wang Xiaoping was already married, it did not affect their ambiguous relationship. In their interactions, they had an economic dispute. Wang Xiaoping borrowed 50,000 yuan from Duan San for business but never returned it.
After several hours of work by the police officers from Jiaocheng County Public Security Bureau who received the case report, they gradually uncovered the layers of mystery surrounding the case, and an unpleasant underground romance also came to light.
However, Li Xiaoli consistently denied knowing the deceased and having any connection to the room. Meanwhile, through questioning the innkeeper, the police learned that Room 208 was booked by a man around 10:00 AM, who claimed he would be living alone. He renewed the rent for one day at 14:00 PM before leaving.
Seeing that Wang Xiaoping was already dead, Duan San realized the enormity of the trouble he had caused and quickly left after closing the room door.
Upon investigation, it was found that on the day of the incident, Duan San originally planned to meet his current lover, Li Xiaoli. However, in the afternoon, Duan San suddenly received a call from Wang Xiaoping requesting a meeting. He readily agreed and invited her to Room 208. During the meeting, they argued over the outstanding debt. In a fit of rage, Duan San picked up the ashtray next to him and struck Wang Xiaoping's head. With serious injuries, Wang Xiaoping fiercely resisted. Duan San then strangled her neck until he saw her stop moving before slowly releasing his grip.
Inside the hotel, a mysterious woman lay dead on the bedhead.
And just a few hours later, at Duan San's home in a certain village in Wen Shui County, Shanxi Province, a dramatic scene unfolded as Duan San cruelly mutilated himself by cutting both of his wrists with a razor blade and stabbing his abdomen with a dagger.
When the door opened, there lay a female corpse on the bed, bleeding profusely, with a pillowcase covering her head, causing a chilling sensation. After screaming, the innkeeper ran downstairs and hurriedly dialed the alarm number for the Jiaocheng County Public Security Bureau.
Subsequently, based on the information provided by the phone found in the victim's pocket, the police identified the deceased as Wang Xiaoping from a certain village in Wen Shui County and discovered that the deceased and Li Xiaoli were from the same village.
After receiving the alert, the police officers from Jiaocheng County Public Security Bureau immediately rushed to the crime scene to conduct an investigation. At the scene, the approximately ten-square-meter room was in disarray, with a large amount of blood on the bed. After the police conducted a site inspection, they found that the deceased was a woman around forty years old. Her back of the head was severely injured. Not far from the deceased, there was a bloody ashtray, and there were marks of strangulation on her neck. The police quickly determined that this was a premeditated murder case, and before her death, the deceased had engaged in a fierce struggle with someone.
Under the patient guidance of the police, Li Xiaoli eventually confessed that the man who booked the room was named Duan San, also from the same village in Wen Shui County.
Meeting the "new lover" unexpectedly led to the appearance of the "old lover."
