In 1985, a sensational criminal case of kidnapping for ransom and then murder of the victim occurred. After two months of careful investigation by a special police task force, the body of the victim, Yang Yinhuo, was finally dug out on June 27 under a cliff in Pinglin on Beixuan Highway.
The criminal explained how Yang Yinhuo was beaten to death. He said it was the twelfth day after Yang Yinhuo was kidnapped. Unable to bear the pain of being tied up and unable to move, he quarreled with the people guarding him. Yang Yinhuo shouted: "You treat me like this, you might as well let me die!"
Just because of this sentence, a group of five people were angry and beat him with sticks. At that time, Yang Yinhuo had been tied up for twelve days and was already beaten to a pulp. In his weak state, how could he withstand the beating? Seeing that Yang Yinhuo had fainted, several people immediately tried to use artificial respiration to revive him, but his eyes were white and his pulse had stopped. There was no way to save him. Seeing that things had come to this point, the criminals had no choice but to tie up the body with a maroon sleeping bag and borrowed a car to abandon the body late at night.
According to one of the accomplices, Hai Tao, a series of strange phenomena occurred on the mountain road where they were heading to abandon the body.
First, after the car got on the mountain road, they kept feeling someone slapping the car body with their palms. At first, they didn't care, but the slapping became louder and louder, so they had to stop the car temporarily to check. Haitao was very brave and volunteered to get out of the car to check. Although there were four other people in the car, they all thought they were brave, but the mountain road was dark, with lush dark forests on the left and cliffs on the right. The mountain wind was cool and the cold was overwhelming. In addition, the purpose of going up the mountain was to abandon the body, so even the bravest people would inevitably feel scared.
Haitao looked around the car and saw nothing unusual, then jumped back in. Everyone knew something bad was going on, but no one wanted to break the silence and ask.
Ah Jin spat on Yang Yinhuo's corpse and yelled, "Fuck!"
The car continued to move forward. There was silence in the car. After an unknown amount of time, Ma Huangyuan, who was driving and leading the way, suddenly said, "We're here! It's right down there. It's a very secret place. No one will find it." Everyone was just breathing a sigh of relief when the car suddenly stopped as if it had an emergency brake. "Ma Huangyuan, what happened?" A Jin in the back seat clenched his weapon tightly, ready to attack at any time. Haitao also became alert and covered the bag of corpses to avoid being discovered. Ma Huangyuan tried to start the car again, but it wouldn't start.
He cursed angrily, pounded the steering wheel hard, and then jumped out of the car.
"Don't get off! I'll go to the front of the car and take a look."
The closer they get to their destination, the more nervous they become. Their concentration increases, and their nerves are as taut as the string on a bow. They are ready to risk their lives at the slightest sign of trouble!
After a while, Ma Huangyuan suddenly jumped onto the car with a pale face and stammered, "Oh no! Someone is crushed to death!"
Hai Tao's first reaction was that it was impossible. How could someone be crushed to death in this remote mountain area in the middle of the night? But Ma Huangyuan kept saying, "It can't be wrong! I saw blood splattered on the front of the car and on the ground, and two legs stretched out from under the wheels…"
"You've hit someone to death, why don't you leave quickly!" Zhou Jixiang said nervously.
Ma Huangyuan finally sobered up and tried to start the car again, but the result was the same. Ah Jin's temper flared up, and he said "Fuck you!" and jumped out of the car and walked towards the front of the car. He looked left and right, but couldn't see anything at all! How could anyone be crushed to death? This Ma Huangyuan! So he knocked on the windshield and cursed: "Hey! Are your eyes covered with cow dung? There is nothing under the car!" Ma Huangyuan was stunned when he heard it, and got out of the car again in disbelief. At this time, Jinlong, who had been silent for a long time, also got out of the car with Haitao and Zhou Jixiang, and there was indeed no sign of anyone being crushed.
"Yuan Zai, you've seen a ghost!" When Jin Long said this, everyone was shocked. In fact, everyone knew what was going on, but no one dared to tell the truth. Now that it was revealed, everyone ran to the car in a panic. Zhou Jixiang also came forward to help Ma Huangyuan start the car, but the car seemed to be stuck to the ground and didn't move at all.
Ah Jin kicked the sleeping bag wrapped around Yang Jinhuo hard, "You dare to play tricks on me even after you're dead! If I'm a little cruel, it will be hard for me to make you a ghost! You will never be reincarnated!"
"What should we do?…" Zhou Jixiang and Ma Huangyuan in front were sweating profusely.
"What else can we do? We have to drag him away!" After saying this, Ah Jin and Hai Tao took the lead in carrying the body. Jin Long followed with the tools. Ma Huangyuan and Zhou Jixiang were left in the car to give warnings with secret signals if there was any movement.
They buried the body very quickly, threw away the tools and ran back. Suddenly, Jinlong fell forward and lay on the ground, unable to get up, shouting, "Don't grab my feet! I will burn paper money for you…" Haitao heard it and went over to grab him.
"You are useless! Look at yourself, you are so cowardly!" Jin Long got up and moved his feet. Who would catch him? He thought that he must be too nervous and oversensitive.
Ma Huangyuan and Zhou Jixiang on this side finally started the car with great effort. They couldn't explain the reason, but the car just moved. The five of them drove the car back to the city in a hurry.
When the murder case was solved, the criminal Jin Long told the investigators with a sense of relief that Yang Yinhuo had been dead for 49 days the day before he was arrested, which was the "seventh day after death". During this "seventh day after death", they were very nervous about everything they did, especially when night came, which was also the most vulnerable time.
The worst was probably the "first seven days". Jin Long recalled with lingering fear: "That night, I had just gone to bed when I received a call from Yuanzai. He asked me if I was okay. I asked him what it was. He said it was good that there was nothing. After hanging up the phone, I lay back in bed. After a while, a bright light suddenly appeared outside the window in front of me!"
"A blinding light shone in, and I saw a dark figure standing in front of me with his back to the light! At first I thought I was dazzled, so I closed my eyes and opened them again. This time the blinding light gradually dimmed, and I clearly saw that the figure's eyes were taped!"
"Oh no! It's Yang Yinhuo! We were afraid that Yang Yinhuo would recognize us, especially since we heard that if he recognized us before he died, he would become a ghost and seek revenge after death. So no one dared to tear off the tape on his eyes. We didn't expect that he would still come after all."
"I quickly took out the Bible, cross, Buddha statue, Buddhist scriptures, etc. on the bedside table and held them all to my chest, but he let out a shrill and terrifying laugh. For a moment, I was so scared that I didn't know what to do." "After he finished laughing, in the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared, and the window returned to darkness and silence; I quickly got out of bed and turned on the headlights, and hid under the quilt holding those evil-repelling things.
"Under the quilt, I kept sensitively echoing Yang Yinhuo's deep light. Was the truth of the case finally revealed? The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became. In fact, I had regretted my actions a long time ago, but I couldn't save my life.
"Just as I was in a trance, the bed shook violently, and I woke up. I trembled and held the quilt tightly, not daring to stick my head out. Every time I thought of it, a cold wind blew over, and the quilt was blown up by a strong force and fell onto the bed."
"Without a barrier, I desperately huddled in the corner of the bed, hugging the Buddha statue and the cross, chanting the Buddha's name. After a few minutes, when everything calmed down, I slowly opened my eyes. There was no one in front of me, and I was relieved and relieved when suddenly an ugly and huge face appeared on the ceiling. It opened its huge mouth and seemed to be laughing, blowing, and talking. How could I dare to look closely! My whole body was numb, holding my head, and I knelt on the bed and begged for mercy."
"I only heard clanging and banging sounds. It was like I was dead in bed when I went to take a shower . Everything on the table and cabinet in my room was swept down, broken and shattered. It was so tragic!"
The investigator smiled and shook his head.
Jin Long continued to state that the next day, Yuanzai came to him with a pale face, saying that Yang Yinhuo had come to claim his life! It turned out that on the night of the "first seven days", Yuanzai was taking a shower in the bathroom when he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening and closing in the living room. That was not right! He lived alone, how could someone else be opening and closing the door! He shouted:
"Who!" No answer, alert, maybe he was betrayed? The police came to arrest him!
He put on a piece of clothing at random, walked out on tiptoe, his whole body wet. No one was there! He also felt that he was nervous these days, probably because he was too nervous.
When he returned to the bathroom, took off his clothes and continued to take a shower, he suddenly heard a sound from the bathroom door, like the scratching of five fingernails on the door. The sound was so sharp that it made him uncomfortable. He hardened his heart and opened the door forcefully. It was really evil, there was no one at all!
Just as I was about to continue washing, I was shocked to see that blood was coming out of the shower head. I looked in the mirror and saw that my face was sprayed all over!
He threw away the shower head and thought of flushing it under the faucet, but he didn't expect that blood would also flow out of the faucet. At this time, the ugly strange sound began to appear outside the bathroom door again. He was so scared that he shouted loudly: "Help!"
In fact, he knew very well that even if something really happened, no one would come to save him, because he had offended all the neighbors nearby, and they all knew that he was a gang member. Who would dare to save him! With his shouting, the blood and the unpleasant sound stopped! Yuanzai quickly took a shower, put on his clothes, and ran out. He didn't dare to go home all night. When he arrived at the hotel outside, he called Jinlong and asked him if he was "okay"?
The next day, Jinlong asked Ajin, Haitao, and Zhou Jixiang if they had encountered anything strange. They said that they had been drinking with a few friends all night long and had not encountered anything strange!
On the night of "February 7th", Jinlong and Yuanzai learned their lesson. They did not go home that night, but danced and drank crazily outside together. But this time, Yang Yinhuo still found Ajin!
According to Ajin, he and several friends were gambling in a rented house that night. There was a sudden power outage at around 12 o'clock, and they could not continue gambling. His friends went home one after another. After seeing his friends off, he turned around and closed the door. He found that under the moonlight shining in from the window, there was a person sitting at the table they had just sat at. That person was none other than Yang Jinhuo, who was tied up all over!
Although Ah Jin was also afraid, he showed no fear. He pointed at Yang Yinhuo and cursed , "I'm going to take a shower, I'm like dying in bed ," and said, "How dare you come!"
When Yang Yinhuo turned his head, Ajin's hands and feet were shaking with fear. It turned out that his face was uneven and bloody from being kicked and beaten, and it was a horrible sight.
He grinned at Ajin, and under the dim moonlight, if he wasn't as brave as Ajin, he would have fled in panic or fainted.
Seeing this, Ah Jin grabbed a round stool beside him and threw it at Yang Yinhuo! Unexpectedly, after this throw, not only did Yang Yinhuo disappear, but the room was also filled with light. The electricity came on!
Hai Tao was smarter and avoided the "first seven" and "second seven", but the "third seven" would be his turn. Before the "third seven", he prepared duck blood and raw rice, sprinkled them in every corner of the house, and found willow branches to hang at the door of each room.
He thought that since Guanyin Bodhisattva was holding a willow branch, it must be used to ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons. After everything was ready, he found four other people to "take refuge". Fortunately, except for the wind chimes on the broken T-sill that kept shaking silently and the extra shoe prints that appeared on the ground for no reason, nothing happened that night.
Because of this, the four of them chose Haitao's more secluded house as their hiding place, but they could not escape the "July 7" disaster. As soon as the "July 7" passed, they were immediately caught.
On July 6, 1985, all the suspects were transferred to the Shilin Branch of the Taipei District Court for investigation.
Jinlong said with relief that the case had been solved and they could finally escape from the nightmare!
