Location: Nanjing University, Jiangsu Province, China (1996) đšđł
The Story: On a cold January evening in 1996, Diao Aiqing, a bright and promising 19-year-old university student, left her dormitory and vanished into the night. For nine days, her disappearance was a mystery. Then, a horrific discovery was made: her remains were found scattered across the city, from campus to public streets, in what appeared to be a deliberate, gruesome display. đ§
The Twist: The sheer brutality and chilling precision of the crime shocked the nation. Diao Aiqing's body had been dissected into over 2,000 meticulously cut pieces, with key organs surgically removed. The method suggested a killer with expert anatomical or medical knowledge, turning the investigation toward professionals in those fields. However, despite one of the largest manhunts in Chinese history, the case hit a dead end. No suspect was ever formally identified or brought to trial. The true horror of the case lies not only in its savagery but in its absolute silence;a perfect, unresolved mystery that continues to haunt China to this day. đ
