The husband's fake urging to solve the case exposed suspicious points, and the two brothers have been criminally detained.
At around 11:20 PM on August 2nd, Lü Yan, a 30-year-old woman living in a certain neighborhood near Wannianchang in Chengdu, was attacked by a "masked woman" who threw sulfuric acid on her. As a result, she suffered extensive burns on her face, head, and neck. She was diagnosed with third-degree burns and is in critical condition.
After receiving the report, Lü Yan's husband, Peng Jiang, kept urging the police to quickly solve the case and voluntarily provided various pieces of evidence. However, his actions inadvertently exposed himself.
Through extensive investigation, the police discovered that the mastermind behind the attack on Lü Yan was none other than Peng Jiang. Suspecting Lü Yan's infidelity, Peng Jiang devised a detailed plan, instructing his brother Peng Qing to dress as a woman and throw sulfuric acid to harm Lü Yan.
Currently, both Peng Jiang and Peng Qing have been criminally detained.
A Woman Attacked with Sulfuric Acid; Someone Saw the "Masked Woman"
Peng Jiang is 33 years old, from Jiange County, married to his wife Lü Yan for ten years, and they have an eight-year-old son. Both Peng Jiang and Lü Yan have some physical disabilities, so they live with Peng Jiang's father, supporting their family through a carpet cleaning business.
On the evening of August 2nd, Peng Jiang received an order from a teahouse requiring on-site service. He asked Lü Yan to wait with the tricycle at the entrance of the residential area while he and his father went back home to get the cleaning machine. Just after Peng Jiang and his father left, while Lü Yan was waiting with the tricycle, a strong, pungent smell suddenly came toward her, followed immediately by Lü Yan's painful screams.
"Lü Yan, what's wrong?" After just carrying the machine down from upstairs, Peng Jiang saw Lü Yan clutching her head, lying on the ground, shouting, and rolling around continuously. Peng Jiang's father called 120 (emergency medical services) and 110 (police).
The owner of a small grocery store at the entrance of the residential area recalled that on the night of the incident, a very strange "masked woman" had appeared in the neighborhood. She was about 1.5 meters tall, wearing a hat, a green coat on top, light-colored seven-eighths pants on the bottom, and her face was tightly wrapped with a towel. "She also held a small jar carefully, acting quite mysteriously."
Unhealthy Marital Relationship; Husband Urging to Solve the Case Was Suspicious
After receiving the alarm, the police arrived at the scene, understood the basic situation, and immediately established a special task force to investigate Lü Yan's social relationships. Through the investigation, the police learned that the relationship between Lü Yan and Peng Jiang was not good, and they often argued. Peng Jiang was powerless and frequently beaten until his head bled, while Lü Yan also had ambiguous relationships with other men outside. Lü Yan even signed an agreement with Peng Jiang stating that when their son turned 10, they would divorce, but Peng Jiang firmly disagreed.
After being sent to the hospital, Lü Yan was diagnosed with burns covering 30%-40% of her body, classified as third-degree burns, posing a life-threatening situation. Not only could she no longer see, but she also couldn't speak. At this time, Peng Jiang seemed very anxious, not only taking meticulous care of Lü Yan but also constantly calling the police, actively providing clues to solve the case, and urging them to quickly resolve it.
"Their previous relationship wasn't good, Peng Jiang's current behavior is very strange." Feeling suspicious, the police began visiting and investigating Peng Jiang and the people around him. Peng Jiang claimed that he didn't leave home on the night of the incident, but the police found out that before Lü Yan was harmed, Peng Jiang had gone out multiple times, including once going all the way to Zhaoyuesi Station.
Peng Jiang's words raised the police's suspicions. Meanwhile, the police noticed that Peng Jiang's brother Peng Qing's behavior was also abnormal: On the day Lü Yan was attacked, Peng Qing hurriedly came to Chengdu, and the next day, he rushed back home.
Husband Was the Mastermind; Instructed His Brother to Harm His Wife
"Peng Jiang's family hasn't had any carpet cleaning business for a long time, so why did someone harm Lü Yan right after they got a job? Moreover, the time and location were accurate without error, which clearly indicates a premeditated crime." The special task force formulated a meticulous arrest plan, dividing into two teams. One group of officers went to the hospital to capture Peng Jiang, while another group headed to Jiange County, capturing Peng Qing in Wazi Village, Maleng Township.
Upon interrogation, Peng Jiang confessed to the police that Lü Yan had been unfaithful to him, leading to frequent arguments between them. He harbored resentment and wanted to find an opportunity for revenge. After careful planning, he summoned his brother Peng Qing from their hometown and instructed him to help him throw the prepared concentrated sulfuric acid on Lü Yan. To cover their tracks, during the crime, he specifically instructed his brother to dress as a woman.
