Her youngest son, Li Jianwei, stood on the bank with a cane, blankly staring at his mother's corpse. Beside the rice field was a small pond where just hours ago, Zhang Shulan was scooping up small fish to put in a bamboo basket for drying. Li Jianwei, standing about 20 meters away from her, helplessly watched as their fellow villager Zhou Fugiang stabbed his mother.
At around 8 a.m., the whole process of Zhou Fugiang's attack was witnessed by villager Zhou Xinguo. "He (Zhou Fugiang) pulled out a knife and she (Zhang Shulan) fell into the field out of fear. Then Zhou Fugiang jumped down and stabbed her; it seemed like he stabbed her abdomen. I saw him stab twice, then I ran into my house to get something, planning to help. When I ran out again, he looked up and saw me." Zhou Xinguo's sudden appearance startled Zhou Fugiang. "Her youngest son was standing 20 meters away at that time. Zhou Xinguo originally intended to kill him but seeing me, he fled."
The police stated: "We hope that after reading the report, Zhou Fugiang will surrender as soon as possible to seek leniency. This is the only way out."
Rednet Changsha, December 4th (Xiang Morning Post reporter Zhang Xiang) Li Jianwei helplessly watched the murderer stab his mother and could not cross the 20-meter distance to save her. Besides being tearfully heartbroken, this disabled man could do nothing.
Since there was no grudge, why did Zhou Fugiang ruthlessly kill? Uncle Li Fuqiang of Li Jianhong said: "About five years ago, Zhou Fugiang sold a big tree, but later the buyer returned the tree. Zhou Fugiang didn't know who told him, but Li Jianhong said that the price of the tree was too high. Zhou Fugiang felt that Li Jianhong was too nosy and disrupted his business, so he threatened to retaliate, even poisoning the well once. Fortunately, no one died. He has always wanted to take revenge on Li Jianhong." This statement was also confirmed by many villagers, men’s sweaters. Many villagers said that this was actually a misunderstanding, and Li Jianhong never said "the price is too high". No one knows whether this resentment over the tree is directly related to the murder of Zhang Shulan.
Cause: Did the hatred stem from a business deal five years ago?
The police sealed off the scene and through satellite positioning, found the place where Zhou Fugiang made the call, then sealed off the road and conducted checks around the area.
When the journalist arrived, the police had already sealed off the scene. After the homicide occurred in Longfeng Village, the first person to leak the news to the media was not a villager but Zhou Fugiang himself. After fleeing, Zhou Fugiang took out his mobile phone and called a TV station, saying anxiously: "I killed someone," and informed them of the detailed address. The TV operator asked him why he killed, but Zhou Fugiang did not answer and hung up the phone. Subsequently, his phone could no longer be reached, and his whereabouts were unknown. "He must be very scared, his mind is confused. He wants the TV station to help him, yet he couldn't resist running away." Villagers speculated.

Mysterious: The murderer himself leaked the information to the TV station.
On the morning of the 4th, 64-year-old Zhang Shulan was killed in the rice field by the same-village man Zhou Fugiang, who subsequently fled. Zhang Shulan and Zhou Fugiang had no long-standing grudges, but five years ago due to a tree, Zhang Shulan's son Li Jianhong had a feud with Zhou Fugiang. Surprisingly, after killing, Zhou Fugiang called the TV station: "I killed someone," and informed them of the detailed address, then lost contact and disappeared. The police are now making every effort to search and arrest him.
Zhang Shulan's eldest son, Li Jianhong, upon hearing of his mother's murder, cried all the way to the scene. Seeing his mother's body, he almost fainted, shouting: "We have no grudge! I don't have parents anymore..." Zhang Shulan's husband, Li Fusheng, stood in the yard, looking at his crying son, tears streaming down his face.
Zhou Fugiang is 45 years old and divorced from his wife for many years. Some villagers say that he is a stubborn person, usually not talkative, but quite kind-hearted. "He rarely returns to the village, living outside for a long time," a village cadre said.
The news of Zhang Shulan's murder quickly spread, and the villagers all came running, but Zhou Xinguo was nowhere to be seen. According to the customs of Longfeng Village, when an elder passes away, villagers living outside must return to pay their respects to the deceased.
