More than seven years ago, when Xiaowen from Meishan Town, Nan'an, Fujian married her husband in the same town, she posted her wedding photos on Weibo to show her affection, saying, "This is what I want, a sense of belonging and security."
What she never expected was that after she married into her in-laws, the new family did not bring her a sense of belonging and security.
On Weibo, she repeatedly vented her unpleasant experience at her in-laws' house. You can see the smell of gunpowder between her and her in-laws from the lines.
Until recently, Xiaowen suddenly disappeared at her husband's house. Her parents came to ask and were told that Xiaowen ran away from home.
The truth concealed by the lie is that Xiaowen did not run away from home, but was brutally killed, and her 35-year-old life suddenly disappeared.
On August 26, the Nan'an Public Security Bureau issued a notice stating that Xiaowen’s father-in-law Dai Mouhua confessed the criminal facts that he killed him after an argument with his daughter-in-law, Xiaowen, and has been detained by the Public Security Bureau according to law.
Missing
Xiaowen is a native of Mingxin Village, Meishan Town. In early 2014, she was introduced to marry Dai Mouhe of Puzai Village in the same town. On January 19, 2014, Xiaowen posted her wedding photo on Weibo and wrote, "This is what I want, a sense of belonging and security."
After marriage, Xiaowen worked in a garment factory in the town, and Dai Mouhe worked as a doctor in a township hospital in Nan'an. In the same year, Xiaowen had her own baby, and she promised that she would work hard to accompany her to grow up quietly. After the child was born, she recorded the growth of the child on Weibo.
But gradually, her life didn't seem to be what she had originally dreamed of. In August 2016, she began to complain about her life on Weibo. "Knowing that it was the father-in-law's infinite obedience and accommodation that developed the mother-in-law's affectionate personality, why should I go further and further down this road invisibly?" She said, life needs to understand each other, please don't rely on it. Be pampered!
In the following years, she would often argue with her parents-in-law over trivial matters such as cooking and collecting clothes. But she just endured it silently, occasionally venting these unhappiness through Weibo.
She has been living with her mother-in-law's family in this way. During this period, she would often visit her family in Mingxin Village until August 21, 2021, when her father, Mr. Hou, received a call from her missing.
"Dai Mouhe told us that Xiaowen was missing." At 1 o'clock in the morning on the 21st, Mr. Hou learned that Xiaowen had disappeared at his son-in-law's house on the morning of the 20th. In the morning of the same day, he and his wife rushed to Puzi Village to find out the situation.
During the period, Xiaowen’s father-in-law Dai Mouhua took out his mobile phone and found a back photo of a woman riding her daughter's motorcycle (unlicensed) to show them. "Xiaowen may have ran away from home." Dai Mouhua told Mr. Hou and his wife, and accompanied them to the village's creek and other places to find a circle, but to no avail.
In the morning that day, son-in-law Dai Mouhe reported to the Meishan police station that Xiaowen was missing. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Hou came to the son-in-law's house again, but their daughter was still not found. Later, they contacted colleagues and friends of the factory where their daughter worked, but none of them saw Xiaowen.
murderer
Mr. Hou recalled the photo of his daughter riding a bicycle provided by his father-in-law in the morning. He felt that the woman in the photo was not like his own daughter.
After searching to no avail, that night, Mr. Hou's family went to the Puzi Village Committee (police office) next to the son-in-law's house to check the surveillance video. There was a surveillance probe in the village that happened to be facing the intersection of the son-in-law's house.
Monitoring showed that Xiaowen returned to her mother-in-law's house from get off work at 6pm on the 19th and never came out since.
At 7:11 a.m. on the 20th, the daughter's father-in-law Dai Mouhua pushed her daughter's usual motorcycle out of the house and placed it on the village stage square. In less than 10 minutes, an unlicensed van drove out of Xiaowen's wife's house and drove towards the back mountain.
"Xiaowen must have something wrong." The Hou family immediately had such a guess. At 7:30 pm on the 21st, they reported the murder to the police. Subsequently, Dai Mouhe and Dai Mouhua were taken away by the police. At about 3 am the next morning, the daughter's mother-in-law and sister-in-law were also taken away by the police.
On the 23rd, Dai Mouhe, his mother and younger sister had all gone home, but the daughter’s father-in-law did not come out.
On August 26, the Nan'an Public Security Bureau issued a notice stating that on August 21, the Meishan Police Station of the Nan'an Public Security Bureau received a report from the masses, stating that his wife Hou Mouwen (female, 34 years old, from Meishan Town, Nan'an) was missing. The bureau immediately organized the search. On the morning of August 26, the body of Hou Mouwen was found. After preliminary investigation, the suspect Dai Mouhua (male, 61 years old, from Meishan Town, Nan'an City, father-in-law of the deceased) confessed the facts of the crime that he killed him after quarreling with his daughter-in-law Hou Mouwen. Dai Mouhua has now been criminally detained by the bureau according to law. The case is currently under further trial.
Domestic violence
"What a pity, what a wonderful girl." In the hearts of the villagers in Puzi Village, Xiaowen is a cheerful and kind-hearted woman, and the villagers get along well with her. But the relationship between Xiaowen and her husband's family has not been very good.
After 2017, Xiaowen complained on Weibo about life trivial matters becoming more frequent, bit by bit is an introduction to the explosion of gunpowder. "For me as an outsider and her, each one is tacitly aware..." Xiaowen recorded her life, showing that the relationship between her and her parents-in-law was very tense.
The clothes of the young three who were left outside the door during a rainstorm; only a bite of the native eggs can be eaten by hiding in Tibet; only a bite of the stew can be eaten when returning to her parents’ house... Which is the son, which is the grandson?" She once posted on Weibo to complain that she felt that her mother-in-law’s family was carrying one set in front of one another. Only when the family members are "at home" or are there on weekends, the mother-in-law will collect all the clothes and help them to fold the clothes. In addition, once my son wanted to ask his aunt to help him in the bath, but his aunt said, "What did your mother do after I bathed you?" Xiaowen also complained on Weibo many times, and she was not happy.
Villagers in Puzi Village revealed that the Daimouhe family's family conditions are not bad, but Xiaowen is not doing well in her husband's family. She also heard that Xiaowen was beaten by someone from her husband's family. "I heard from neighbors say that Xiaowen often suffers from domestic violence in her husband's house, and the family treats her very badly, especially her mother-in-law." A villager in Puzi village said that Xiaowen has been suffering for her son. . This statement also spread to Mingxin Village, Xiaowen's family. A villager said that she and Dai Mouhe’s relationship was at odds and they often quarreled. Recently, Xiaowen has the idea of divorce, but the man is unwilling.
At present, Xiaowen's family is handling the matter in Puzi Village. They hung up banners at the door of Dai Mouhe's house, which read "Murder pays my life" and "Return my daughter". There are still many villagers nearby. Some villagers said that Xiaowen's son was taken back by his mother's family. They also heard that the Dai Mouhe family was taken away by the police, but her father-in-law Dai Mouhua did not return.
"Unexpectedly, there was such a big case in the village, and the public security department would investigate it every day, and would visit the villagers from house to house to understand the situation."
