Sosok.ID – Revenge can make someone do anything to vent it.
As experienced by a man originally China this.
He was willing to quit school at the age of 9 to find a figure killer his father until finally met after 17 years touring all over the country.
It all started on August 9, 2000. When Xiang Mingqian was playing with his neighbor, Zhang Jun, in the sewers of the old street of Changba, Zhenxiong County.
At that moment, Jun threw a stone into the puddle of water that splashed on Mingqian.
He also replied by throwing a bigger stone.
This should be just a kid’s fight.
However, this fight will affect the two families and result in a tragic incident.
When the two got into a fight, Jun reportedly reported to his grandmother who came and then pushed Mingqian a little.
The commotion was heard by Mingqian’s older brother, Xiang Mingxiang, who came to find out what happened, reported Oddity Central Tuesday (9/22/2020).
But, he even got tortured from Zhang’s family. Until she went home and complained about the family’s treatment of her husband.
At the time of the incident, Mingqian’s parents were found to be buying a new television.
When they returned home, he said nothing.
It was only at dinner that Mingqian’s sister came and reported what happened during the day, and her husband had already left to ask for an explanation.
Immediately Mingqian’s father, Xiang Wenzhi, took a flashlight and put on a coat before leaving the house to help his son-in-law.
Mingqian revealed that as soon as his father entered Zhang Jun’s house, a few minutes later the lights were turned off so that it became dark.
He then heard the screams of his father who was stabbed several times by the Zhang family members.
His life could not be helped when he was rushed to the hospital.
Xiang’s family reported the incident to the local police.
But, they just came to the scene in the morning.
The police then called Mr. Zhang’s family for questioning.
However, it is said that law enforcers have not made arrests.
Zhang Mouqui, who was the killer of Mingqian’s father, used the opportunity to escape.
Shortly thereafter, the authorities closed the case because they thought the location was unknown.
After his father’s death, Mingqian’s life changed completely.
He has to sell noodles to support his family’s economy everyday.
Even though he was a bright student at school, he decided to leave at the age of 9 to catch the person who killed his father.
She did this because she couldn’t stand her mother crying over her husband’s death, with her siblings having to do something to take care of.
On his own, he began his adventure around China by asking the local police for information about Zhang Mouqui.
To make hunting easier, his family happened to decide to move from Changba City to the center of Zhenxiong a year later.
Over the years, he had been trying to gather information after information that could bring him before Zhang Mouqui.
In 2007, he got word that someone who looked like a killer was riding a motorcycle to Kunming Station. On this first attempt, he failed to find it.
Then in 2013, he got information that Mouqui was probably hiding in an industrial area in Jinjiang, Fujian Province.
Once again, he packed things and went there. But despite spending six months searching and monitoring, the whereabouts of the perpetrator are unknown.
The bright spot finally emerged in 2017, where Mingqian got information that Zhang was hiding in Nan’an City, also in Fujian.
Findings from reliable sources made him travel thousands of kilometers. But, he still came to her.
From this source, he received news that Zhang Mouqui worked at a cutlery manufacturing company in the suburbs.
He then rented a car, drove around for three days to supervise the factory.
Finally on the third day, for the first time in 17 years, he saw the killer.
Since August 2000, he has always carried a photo of Mouqui, and sees that the man who killed his father has only aged a little.
He came to her and didn’t just beat her. He also learned that Mouqui had changed his name to Shao Liang, married and had children.
After gathering various evidence, including his father’s clothes, which were covered with stab wounds, he went to the police to have Mouqui arrested.
But the authorities’ response really upset him.
It turned out that in 2015, the perpetrator’s data was deleted because his family had not heard from him for more than 10 years.
Rather than cursing the law enforcement’s incompetence, he resumed his efforts, and it bore fruit when an arrest warrant for Mouqui appeared.
Finally, on October 10, 2018, the Zhaotong City People’s Court, Yunnan Province, sentenced Mouqui to a life sentence.
At the age of 26, Mingqian fulfills his grudge against the man who killed his father, and is reportedly ready to start a new life.
