On September 14, 2007, a middle-aged Asian man in his 50s walked into a travel agency in Melbourne, Australia, with a little girl of three or four years old.
The middle-aged man told the receptionist that he wanted to buy a ticket to the United States, the date must be today, and he wanted to leave immediately.
But the receptionist told him that the plane tickets to the United States that day were all sold out.
When he learned of this news, the middle-aged man looked ugly and looked very anxious.
In desperation, he had to buy a ticket to Los Angeles the next day.
The next day, the middle-aged man took the little girl to Melbourne's South Cross railway station, one of the famous local transport hubs.
Unexpectedly, after the man walked into the station with the little girl, when he was preparing to go up the stairs, using the crowd as a cover, he released the little girl's hand, went up the stairs alone, and quickly disappeared.
Soon after, an elderly couple found the asian girl at the landing.
At this time, the little girl did not cry or make trouble, but just stood alone in the crowd and looked left and right.
The old couple thought that the little girl and her family had been separated, so they quickly called the security guard at the station, and the security guard immediately called the police.
At first, the melbourne police also thought that the little girl was just separated from her family, so they issued a search notice.
However, after a day of waiting, no one claimed the little girl.
By retrieving surveillance footage, the police found that the day the little girl disappeared, she was traveling with a man wearing a gray suit jacket and black trousers, but could not see her appearance.
On 16 September, police in Melbourne sent out several messages for help, hoping that someone would provide information about the little girl and the man.
For a time, the little girl became a local fire and became a household name, because the little girl's coat had the English word "pumpkin", which translates to pumpkin, so the locals called her "little pumpkin".
The police also quickly received feedback from the public, and quickly determined that the middle-aged man's name was Xue Naiyin, his wife was called Liu An'an, and Xiao Pumpkin was the daughter of the two, named Xue Qianxun.
On September 19, police found the body of a woman in the trunk of Xue Naiyin's car.
After identification, the deceased was Xue Naiyin's wife, Liu An'an, the mother of the little pumpkin. The time of death was a week ago.
On September 24, the U.S. Police Department issued a warrant for Xue Naiyin's arrest, and he had disappeared for 10 days after fleeing to Los Angeles.
Who is Xue Naiyin?
Born in 1954, Xue Naiyin's ancestral home is Julu, Hebei, and he grew up in Fushun, Liaoning.
He claimed to be the "Taiji Heavenly King" and had published articles about himself online.
He wrote in the article that he learned Shaolin Quan at the age of 8, practiced martial arts taijiquan at the age of 28, became the sixth generation of martial arts taijiquan at the age of 38, and became the first president of the Liaoning Taijiquan Association at the age of 39...
At that time, the domestic media did report on him, for example, in a certain issue of the magazine "Chinese Martial Arts", he was called "the sixth generation of martial taijiquan" and "taijiquan master".
In 1996, Xue Naiyin moved to New Zealand, where he worked as a martial arts instructor.
During his three years in New Zealand, he made his reputation as a "martial arts master" to the pinnacle.
Not only did he print his name of "the sixth generation of martial taijiquan" on his business card, but he also called himself "Taiji Tianwang" in his speech.
In 2002, Xue Naiyin got a green card from New Zealand and settled in Auckland.
Later, he also founded the Chinese magazine Chinatown, but it was poorly managed and owed a huge amount of money.
Although at that time, Xue Naiyin was very famous in the Chinese martial arts circles, but the people in the circle did not have a good evaluation of him.
On the one hand, because of his martial arts, many people say that he has no real talent and practical learning, and all the names are packaged, belonging to the ranks of "martial arts masters".
On the other hand, because of his character, he once came to Los Angeles to study communication, and said to Ms. Nelson, a famous activist in the United States, that his tai chi was "Good" and criticized American tai chi as "No Good".
This arrogant and rude behavior has been attacked by many martial arts enthusiasts.
Xue Naiyin's married life
Since Xue Naiyin went to New Zealand as a martial arts instructor, he had a break with his wife at the time, and the two later divorced, and the eldest daughter Grace immigrated to New Zealand with him.
However, he did not take on the responsibility of being a father, often leaving his daughter alone in New Zealand, running to Los Angeles in the United States to learn martial arts, and eventually her daughter ran away from home.
After her father's affairs were exposed, her daughter Grace took the initiative to contact the police, saying that she was often brutally abused by her father, so she had to flee.
In September 2002, Xue Naiyin met his second wife, Liu An'an, with a 26-year age difference.
Liu An'an, born in 1979 in Changsha, Hunan Province, is almost the same age as Xue Naiyin's daughter, and the family conditions are not bad, and her mother is a private enterprise director.
Before going abroad, Liu worked in a bank and went to New Zealand in April 2002 to study at his own expense in order to improve his abilities.
But after arriving in New Zealand, she has been unable to pass the language barrier and has been in a car accident because she is not familiar with the local traffic rules.
What is even more pitiful is that in New Zealand, he was cheated by the study abroad agent for money, and the money on his body was empty.
Helpless, she had to drop out of school first and earn money by working to support herself.
Xue Naiyin was not doing well in New Zealand at that time, relying on being a second landlord and second-hand furniture to supplement the family, so he would publish a small advertisement in the newspaper "work instead of rent".
Liu An'an saw his small advertisement in the newspaper and called him, and the two slowly became acquainted.
Xue Naiyin often took Liu An'an to eat, sing, and drink coffee, and within a few months, Liu An'an was pregnant with his flesh and bones.
Eventually, the two married in July 2003 and gave birth to a daughter, Xue Qianxun, a "little pumpkin" abandoned by Xue Naiyin in December of the same year.
As for why Liu An'an married Xue Naiyin, who was 26 years older than himself, after the incident, most people speculated that it was for identity.
Because Liu An'an's visa in New Zealand had expired at that time, in order not to be driven away, he married Xue Naiyin.
However, some people believe that Liu An'an is young and beautiful, and if he wants to have the right of abode, why should he marry the elder Xue Naiyin?
In any case, Xue Naiyin was Liu An'an's landlord and employer at the time, and if he wanted to pursue Liu An'an, Liu would not dare to refuse, otherwise he would live on the streets or even be deported.
Perhaps it is precisely because the two have no emotional basis, after marriage, the two often quarrel.
In 2006, the relationship between the two completely broke down, and domestic violence occurred.
In September, when the two were arguing, Xue Naiyin impulsively injured Liu An'an with a kitchen knife.
After that, Liu An'an stayed in the local women's shelter for a month, and Xue Naiyin was also imprisoned for this.
Later, however, Liu An was overwhelmed and dropped the accusation against him.
In November, two months after the domestic violence, Liu An'an returned to her hometown in Changsha, Hunan Province, with her daughter.
During the time when Liu An'an returned to China, Xue Naiyin found a lover from Shandong.
But in March 2007, after Liu an'an returned to Auckland with her daughter, Xue Naiyin broke up with the lover.
In June 2007, Xue Naiyin once again committed domestic violence against Liu An'an, not only punching and kicking Liu An'an, but also shouting that he wanted to kill her.
Although Liu An'an made up her mind to send Xue Naiyin to prison this time, her accusations were not established, and Xue Naiyin was released on the spot in court.
Liu An'an also left Xue Naiyin once again, took his daughter to Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, and returned to the place where she rented the house when she went to school.
Through inquiry, Xue Naiyin also found her residence in Wellington and knocked on the door outside the house with an axe, but was frightened away by Liu An'an's male landlord with a gun.
After the incident, some netizens found Liu An'an's social account, which wrote a relationship between himself and a husband with a wife.
The last one, in September, read: "A week before his wife returned, I drove away from the cottage we loved, from the city that belonged to him..."
In the text, he is suspected to be Liu An'an's male landlord who rents a house in Wellington.
Liu An'an's male landlord in Wheelington once recalled: "Liu An'an said that she was going back to Auckland, and she felt that the most dangerous place was the safest. ”
However, what Liu An'an did not expect was that it was precisely because of his return home this time that he caused the disaster of killing.
Around September 11, 2007, Xue Naiyin strangled Liu An'an to death with a tie and hid the body in the trunk of the car.
On the evening of September 11, Xue Naiyin was speeding on the road, and after being stopped by the police, he was tested that he was not drunk and drove, and then let him go.
Perhaps by then, Liu An'an's body had been hidden in the trunk of the car.
On September 12, Xue Naiyin also ran to the police station and took back the passport that had been seized for domestic violence.
On September 13, Xue Naiyin left New Zealand with her daughter Little Pumpkin and came to Melbourne.
There, after abandoning the pumpkin, he came to Los Angeles alone. Subsequently, there was no trace of him.
He fled to the United States and was captured by his compatriots
On October 5, 2007, the U.S. Police Department issued a reward notice, rewarding 10,000 US dollars for those who provided Traces of Xue Naiyin.
In mid-February 2008, after six months on the run, Xue Naiyin was penniless and had to come to a small town in Georgia to work at a Chinese employment agency. However, at this time, he had changed his name and surname to Tang Moumou.
Seeing that Xue Naiyin was his own compatriot, the owner of the employment agency was enthusiastic and arranged for him to live in the apartment where he lived, sharing with a Chinese chef surnamed Wu.
On February 22, after Xue Naiyin returned from outside, he saw four more strange men in the apartment, in addition to Chef Wu.
At first, he thought he was exposed, but after the greeting, he learned that these four people were Chef Wu's Tianjin compatriots, and several people were working hard in this small town, three of whom were takeaway workers and one was also a chef.
On February 23, the unscrupulous Xue Naiyin appeared in Texas, was discovered by the police, and fled to a small town in Georgia.
On February 25, U.S. police published the news of Xue Naiyin's appearance in Texas in the newspaper, and Chef Wu accidentally saw the news and found that his roommate was very similar to the wanted man in the newspaper.
Immediately, Chef Wu summoned his 4 Tianjin compatriots, and several people confirmed that the most wanted criminal in the newspaper was Xue Naiyin.
On February 27, several people called the police, but because of their poor English, they could not explain it to the police, so several people decided to arrest people by themselves.
On February 28, Chef Wu first went to the police station to call the police, and the other four people took advantage of Xue Naiyin's inattention to trip him from behind, then subdued him on the ground, then tied his hands with Xue's belt, and then tied her feet with Xue's pants.
At this time, the former "Taiji Heavenly King", his hands and feet were firmly bound, lying on the ground unable to move, and breathing heavily with difficulty.
Dramatically, Chef Wu's four Tianjin compatriots are all equipped with extraordinary skills, one of them has played for the national football team, one is from the armed police, and one has also practiced martial arts.
Because of the heroic deeds of capturing Xue Naiyin, he was also called "Tianjin Four Jie" by the media.
On March 10, 2008, Xue Washin was deported to New Zealand and tried in Auckland for murder, but he refused to plead guilty and even shouted "unfair" in court.
In July 2009, Xue Washiyin was sentenced to life in prison without parole for 12 years.
However, in prison, he was not idle, and he also wrote a book called "I Am Not a Murderer" to defend himself, and even reportedly held a painting exhibition.
On March 22, 2020, Xue Naiyin filed an application for parole, which was rejected, and after that, he confessed for the first time to the killing of his wife, Liu An'an.
The fate of the two daughters' little pumpkins
The grudge of the parents has caused the innocent little pumpkin to be greatly hurt, and it is really painful to become an orphan at the age of three or four.
Fortunately, after the incident, Liu An'an's mother, that is, the grandmother of the little pumpkin, rushed from Hunan to New Zealand, and her granddaughter will return home.
Little Pumpkin's half-sister, Grace, the eldest daughter of Xue Naiyin, also established the "Little Pumpkin Foundation" for her sister, calling on Chinese groups to donate child support for Little Pumpkin.
Caring Chinese compatriots donated more than NZ$40,000, or about $20,000 or $30,000, to Pumpkin, but Pumpkin's grandmother refused the money.
Little Pumpkin returned to China and lived with her grandmother, although her grandmother did not want to tell her about her parents' experience, but it is said that Little Pumpkin already knew about it through the Internet. I hope she grows up in good health!
