After seeing her daughter dead, Zhang Hong dressed her daughter properly. Afterwards, Zhang Hong received a phone call from her husband and lied to him that the child had gone out to play. Then she received another call from Aunt Xiaofen and still lied that the child was sleeping. When she heard Aunt Xiaofen's knock on the door, she didn't open it. At around 16:00, Zhang Hong drank the pesticide she had prepared in advance.
Yesterday, in the detention center, Zhang Hong confessed to the police that although she had promised her husband not to strangle the child anymore, she wanted to do it again on the evening of February 9, but the child had locked the door. "Such a good child, I strangled her to death..." Zhang Hong cried. The police are preparing to conduct a psychiatric evaluation on Zhang Hong.

Mother Zhang Hong
When the police arrived at the scene, no matter how they called out, Zhang Hong wouldn't open the door. Later, the fire rescue personnel and 120 emergency personnel also arrived.
A patrolling policeman suddenly encountered a woman intercepting the car for help.
On January 31, Xiaofen separately told both people: "Last night, my mother tried to strangle me with a cloth strip, but I resisted and nothing happened."
On February 1, the family found out that Zhang Hong had taken a large amount of diabetes medication and rushed her to the Second City Hospital for stomach washing.
At the age of 41, Zhang Hong confessed to the police that she didn't want to live anymore and wanted to take her daughter with her. On the morning of the 10th, after her daughter got up to go to the toilet and then returned to bed, Zhang Hong went over and strangled Xiaofen's neck with her hands. Although she heard Xiaofen's cries for help, Zhang Hong picked up a silk scarf and continued to strangle her...
Harbin News Network reports (Mou Weichun, reporter Liu Yang) At around 18:00 on February 10, in a certain neighborhood in Daowai District, fire rescue personnel broke into the balcony of another unit from the adjacent unit's balcony, controlling the woman Zhang Hong inside the balcony while opening the door. Police officers, 120 emergency personnel, and Zhang Hong's relatives rushed into the house. Just as everyone ran to the girl lying on the bed in the small room, the controlled Zhang Hong calmly said, "It's too late, I strangled her at 8:00 in the morning."
At 18:10 on the 10th, when the police officers of Dayoufang Police Station were patrolling to Hongwei Road, they encountered two women reporting an alarm. The two women claimed that the door of Zhang Hong's home on the 8th floor of a certain unit in the community couldn't be opened, and Zhang Hong wouldn't open the door. Zhang Hong's daughter Xiaofen might have something wrong. The two were Xiaofen's aunt and maternal aunt respectively.
According to Xiaofen's aunt and maternal aunt, Zhang Hong and her husband came from Acheng to Harbin to work for many years, and their daughter was 16 years old. In recent years, Zhang Hong's husband worked elsewhere, and Zhang Hong lived in Harbin with her daughter. The mother and daughter got along well.
"Such a good child, I strangled her to death"
According to the two, before the Spring Festival, Zhang Hong was found to have diabetes and was hospitalized for treatment. Later, due to lack of money, she was discharged. Afterward, Zhang Hong often said that having diabetes always required injections, which was troublesome, and she didn't want to live anymore.
The first time she attempted to strangle her daughter, the daughter resisted and nothing happened.
That day, Zhang Hong's husband specially returned to Harbin from afar for this matter and watched Zhang Hong at home. Zhang Hong promised her husband that she would never strangle the child again. On February 9, Zhang Hong's husband returned to the city where he worked.
Fire rescue personnel quickly climbed to the neighbor's balcony and then broke into Zhang Hong's balcony, opening the door from the inside. The police rushed into the small room and found that Xiaofen, who was lying on the bed, had a grayish complexion and had already stopped breathing. There was a strong smell of pesticide in the room. Zhang Hong said that she strangled her daughter to death at around 8:00 in the morning. After on-site examination, the 120 emergency personnel confirmed that Xiaofen had been dead for six or seven hours. Based on a bottle of residual pesticide in the corner of the hall, medical staff determined that Zhang Hong had consumed pesticide and quickly sent her to the Second City Hospital for stomach washing.
