[Reporter Xu Guozhen/Taichung Report] A man surnamed Chen in Taichung City was suspected of being broken up, killed, and turned into a barrel corpse. Although his ex-girlfriend surnamed Cai, who was involved in the serious suspicion, denied it to the end, the task force found that the deceased had a debt dispute with Ms. Cai. The cement, industrial plastic barrels and other items used to seal the corpse were purchased by Ms. Cai, and she also fabricated the "false life" of the deceased. In addition, the police also collected traces of suspected corpse water from the car of the deceased abandoned by Ms. Cai in a remote suburb. According to this, the prosecution filed a public prosecution yesterday.

This appalling homicide in a barrel happened on October 26 last year. The second landlord in Shengang District, surnamed Lin, was surprised to see a barrel corpse when he was sorting out the idle factory. When I was in a building in Xitun District when I was young, I brought back a 33-year-old woman surnamed Cai who was renting a factory, and found out that Cai's ex-boyfriend had reported her disappearance more than 3 years ago, and suspected that the barrel body was Chen Nan.

At that time, Ms. Cai evaded the seriousness and said she did not know about it. The prosecutors and the police inspected and collected the body of the deceased, and the identity was confirmed by DNA comparison as Mr. Chen. The special case team continued to expand the investigation based on the evidence, and changed to the duck paddling method. After seizing Ms. Cai's mobile phone for a complete backup, a comprehensive mobile phone digital forensic was carried out.

Prosecutors and police determined the time of death after stripping the cement of the deceased according to the law, and the cement sealing equipment seized in the factory area of ​​the murder scene, traced the digital forensic data retrieval interval; locked female Cai's digital payment and electronic invoices and other data, and successfully broke through the case In this predicament, Cai learned that she purchased cement, industrial plastic buckets, cement mixing electric drills and other special tools and equipment, as well as key purchase vouchers such as bedspreads, bed sheets and large plastic bags to cover the corpse.

Another task force found that Cai Nv had originally parked the deceased's car in the parking lot near the rented residence on Henan Road. In March 2018, she suddenly asked a tow truck to lift the car away. It was found in a remote section of Wuri District through assistance. At that time, the car had been dilapidated due to being parked for many years, and traces of suspected corpse water were still collected in the car. It cannot be ruled out that Cai Nv used the car to transport the deceased to the factory in Fengyuan District after committing the crime, where the body was sealed and wiped out.

In addition, the prosecutors found that in order to cover up the news of Chen Nan's death, Cai used Chen Nan's mobile phone and pretended to be his identity. On Chen Nan's daughter's birthday, she sent a happy birthday message to her family. "Outside" and "Abstained due to dispute" messages in an attempt to delay the fact that Chen Nan was killed.
