An 8-year-old boy from Zizhong County, Sichuan Province in mainland China disappeared 29 years ago. His family later found a ransom note on their doorstep. Unfortunately, the boy was eventually found in a well, apparently dead. After investigation, the police identified two suspects, but both of them have absconded. Despite this, the public security organs at the Neijiang City and Zizhong County levels have not given up the pursuit of the suspect. It was not until March 23 this year that the murderer was finally caught. Further investigation is currently underway.

“Chengdu Business Daily” reported that on February 28, 1995, the 8-year-old son of a villager named Wu from Songjia Town, Zizhong County disappeared after school. His family searched everywhere to no avail. A week later, Wu’s father found a ransom letter at the door of his home. In the letter, the gangster claimed that the boy was in his possession, and asked the family to prepare a ransom of 5,000 yuan (approximately NT$22,000), and threatened not to call the police. However, on March 13 of the same year, Wu Tong’s body was found in a well.

At that time, Zizhong police determined through investigation that Zhan Moujun and Lei Moujun were suspected of committing major crimes, but they had already escaped. The police repeatedly combed through the social relationship between the two people, but did not find any valuable clues. They seemed to have disappeared from the world. Over the years since then, the police have never given up on hunting the two men, but they have checked in many places without making any substantial breakthrough. Since last year, the Zizhong police have launched an operation to arrest old murder cases. In response to this case, the special team went to Liaocheng, Shandong, Wuxi, Jiangsu and other places for investigation and investigation.

After hundreds of searches, at the beginning of this year, the police on the project and the Wuxi police jointly identified a man named “Zhang Xiaojun” whose age and appearance closely matched Zhan’s. Through interviews and investigations, the police determined that Zhang Xiaojun was Zhan Nan who had been absconding for 29 years. In addition, through preliminary investigation, the police also locked the location of Lei Moujun. At about 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on the 23rd, the police on the special case arrested Zhan Moujun and Lei Moujun in Longhui Town, Weiyuan County, Neijiang City, and Liaocheng City, Shandong Province respectively.

After the two people were arrested, they confessed to the crimes they committed 29 years ago, and the kidnapping and murder case was successfully solved. “I have been hiding in Tibet for these years, never having a peaceful night’s sleep, and living like a rat crossing the street. Now I am finally free!” After arriving at the case, the gray-haired Zhan Moujun told the story of his escape. He slept under a bridge incognito. , worked as a coolie, and moved around Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places, living a life of fear and precarity.

In March this year, Zhan Nan fled to his distant uncle’s home in Longhui Town, Weiyuan County because he missed his family. Until the police appeared in front of him, he knew that “the debt owed must be repaid one day.” According to the police, the two suspects were husband and wife. They knew the victim’s family before the incident and both worked in a calcium phosphate factory in a town in Weiyuan County. At present, Zhan Moujun and Lei Moujun have been criminally detained in accordance with the law, and the case is under further processing.
