Thallium poisoning case of Tsinghua girl Zhu Ling (Thallium poisoning of talented Tsinghua girl Zhu Ling in 1994)

People often say that the correct three views are more important than anything else. Only by living upright and magnanimous can one have a clear conscience. If there is no correct three views and an indescribable distorted psychology occurs, then no matter how many books you read, Not used in either. Just like in some top universities, on the surface, he is a high-IQ academic, but in his heart, he is a murderous demon who has done irreparable things.

I believe everyone will remember the Lin Senhao poisoning case that occurred at Fudan University in 2013. This highly intelligent poisoning case made everyone feel sorry for it, and two outstanding students paid their lives for it. But do you still remember the Zhu Ling poisoning case at Tsinghua University? The defendant Lin Senhao once said that it was when he saw a report in the newspaper that the case had not yet been solved that it gave him a direct stimulus that led to the tragedy.

Today we will talk about this poisoning case that happened at Tsinghua University. A proud girl turned into a disabled person at the age of 7. Her promising future was ruined. What’s even more outrageous is that the case has not been revealed to this day. There was no detection, and the suspect moved to the United States and lived a happy life.

In 1973, Zhu Ling was born into a scholarly family in Beijing. His parents (father Wu Chengzhi and mother Zhu Mingxin) were both educated senior intellectuals. They gave birth to two daughters. The eldest daughter was named Wu Jin, and the two sisters were People have shown extraordinary talents since childhood. The two of them were well-educated and sensible under the guidance of their parents. In today's terms, they are other people's children.

My sister Wu Jin was admitted to Peking University with excellent results and studied in the Department of Biology. However, God seemed to be jealous of this happy family. Wu Jin accidentally slipped and fell off a cliff during a spring outing. Three days later, she died in a Wu Jin's body was found under the cliff. The unexpected death of her sister was a heavy blow to this happy family, especially Zhu Ling's parents, who had aged much overnight, but after all, people could not be resurrected, so they placed their hope in Zhu Ling.

Zhu Ling did not live up to her family's expectations. She learned piano, guzheng and other musical instruments since she was a child, and was also good at sports. After her sister left, she worked harder, and eventually she was admitted to Tsinghua University in 1992 with excellent results. , because he is good at musical instruments and is also the main member of the school band. She is good at swimming and has shown off her skills in many school sports meets and won many awards.

Her pretty face and impressive grades made her a goddess-level figure in school. In addition, she is lively, cheerful, helpful, and gets along well with her classmates. In the eyes of teachers, this hard-working and motivated girl has a bright future. Zhu Ling is the only hope in the eyes of her parents.

But on November 24, 1994, Zhu Ling fell ill. At first, she just had a stomachache and didn’t want to eat. She thought she was overworked and thought she would be fine after a few days of rest, but things It didn't go in the direction she expected. On December 8, Zhu Ling found that he had started to lose his hair and was suffering from body pain. Later, accompanied by his family, he went to Beijing Tongren Hospital for medical treatment. At that time, he was admitted to the gastroenterology department. Because the medical conditions were not very advanced, he was admitted there After inspection, no problems were found.

After being hospitalized for a month, Zhu Ling felt that his condition had improved and his hair had grown back. He thought it was nothing serious and applied for discharge on January 23, 1995, which was approved by the doctor at that time. On February 20, 1995, Zhu Ling returned to campus, but his condition became more serious. Not only did he lose all his hair, but he also suffered from facial paralysis, limb weakness and other symptoms.

On March 6, 1995, Zhu Ling went to the hospital accompanied by his parents, but the cause of the disease was still not found. On March 9, Zhu Ling's parents took their daughter to Union Hospital for treatment, and she was treated by neurology experts. After the consultation, Professor Li Shunwei was the first to point out that Tai Zhuling's symptoms were similar to the thallium salt poisoning that also occurred in Tsinghua University. However, Zhu Ling repeatedly stated that he had not been exposed to thallium salts, let alone thallium salt poisoning. Due to the At that time, Union Medical College Hospital did not have the conditions to conduct laboratory tests. Coupled with Zhu Ling's denial, no one dared to imagine that someone was poisoning, so the doctors could only start from other aspects.

On March 15, 1995, Zhu Ling had symptoms such as loss of spontaneous breathing. Eventually, his condition worsened and he developed symptoms of central respiratory failure. Union Hospital performed a tracheotomy, followed by plasma exchange therapy. , conducted 8 times before and after, but all to no avail, because she was infected with hepatitis C due to various reasons such as the medical methods at the time and Zhu Ling's health. On March 26, Zhu Ling was sent to the intensive care unit and could only rely on a ventilator to maintain his basic condition.

The doctors conducted various tests on Zhu Ling for the cause, but still had no clue. Just when everyone was at a loss, Zhu Ling’s high school classmates Bei Zhicheng, Cai Quanqing and others translated the disease into English. It was spread all over the world through the Internet and a distress letter was sent out. Within a few days, nearly 3,000 replies were received. Almost one-third of the people believed that this was a typical phenomenon of thallium poisoning.

Doctors at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital wrote back that "the diagnosis was almost certain based on her hair loss, gastrointestinal problems and neurological problems." When Bei Zhicheng and others told the doctors at Union Medical College Hospital about the news, because they did not have a specific test report and the doctors could not treat based on guesswork, not many people looked at this plan. Fortunately, Zhu Ling's parents Believe it or not.

In fact, this is not surprising. Under the circumstances, there was no other way to believe it. Zhu Ling’s parents and classmates began to work hard to find an institution that could conduct thallium poisoning identification.

After everyone’s painstaking exploration, they learned that Professor Chen Zhenyang at the Beijing Institute of Occupational Disease Prevention and Control could conduct an identification. However, due to various reasons, all this could only be done secretly, and finally at a certain hospital in the Union Hospital. With the help of doctors, Zhu Ling's urine, cerebrospinal fluid, blood, nails and hair were obtained. On April 28, 1995, everyone sent these things to Professor Chen Zhenyang. The test report came out that day. It clearly showed that Zhu Ling was indeed poisoned by thallium, and it was twice. The thallium content in Zhu Ling's body far exceeded the lethal dose. He also recommended using Prussian blue to detoxify.

After receiving the appraisal report, everyone immediately went to Union Medical College Hospital. The doctor then prescribed the right medicine. Zhu Ling's health improved on the day he took it, and then the thallium ions in his body were gradually eliminated. People from all walks of life said about this at different times. Some people say it was 10 days, others said it was 1 month. Regardless of the length of time, fortunately, the situation has improved. Thallium salt is a slow-onset highly toxic substance with a lethal dose of about 1 gram. It is impossible for Zhu Ling, a student from the Department of Chemistry, not to know about it. At that time, the school also issued a certificate confirming that Zhu Ling had not been exposed to thallium salt.

After undergoing a series of treatments, Zhu Ling's condition improved, but because the toxins stayed in the body for too long, Zhu Ling's nervous system was severely damaged, and his body functions were also seriously damaged. , had been in a coma, and did not wake up until August 31, 1995. But the once proud woman became a woman who was nearly blind, paralyzed, unable to take care of herself, and relied on her parents' small pension to sustain her life. And the intelligence is only 7 years old.

Just after Zhu Ling was diagnosed with thallium poisoning, Zhu Ling's parents immediately called the police. On May 7, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau officially opened an investigation. Everyone also has a question. At the same time, in order to seek the truth, Zhu Ling's parents said: "How did such a large dose of the rare metal thallium enter my daughter's body? Everything is wrong." It’s so unbelievable.” Zhu Ling also made it clear before that he had never been exposed to thallium, so it was very likely that someone had deliberately poisoned him. However, there has been no concrete conclusion until now, and the police have not been able to convict him.

What’s even more outrageous is that just before the police filed the case, a bizarre theft occurred in Zhu Ling’s dormitory. Zhu Ling’s toiletries disappeared, which deepened the police’s suspicion. At that time, there were not many people in Beijing who had access to thallium salts. After a series of investigations, it was finally determined that there were more than 200 people. In 2013, Wang, a student at Tsinghua University, recalled that at that time, the only people in the entire school who had access to thallium salts were 7 people, in addition to 2 teachers, there are 3 female graduate students, because the graduate student building is far away from Zhu Ling’s dormitory, and there are 2 undergraduate students, one is a man named Wu and Zhu Ling’s roommate Sun Wei. It can be said that only Sun Wei can contact Zhu Ling.

Husband fuck Wang Bu also concluded that the range of suspects was very small. According to the dormitory management regulations of Tsinghua University, he concluded that the murderer was someone close to her. After detailed investigation, the police also identified Sun Wei as a criminal suspect. However, the police did not conduct a surprise trial against Sun Wei until two years after the case was officially filed. It may be that due to insufficient evidence, they were unable to proceed with the further investigation.

Until now, the police have not solved the case, let alone disclosed relevant matters. In March 1997, Zhu Ling’s family wrote to the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau on the grounds that the class involved in the accident was about to graduate and witnesses would be difficult to obtain. , on April 2, Sun Wei was taken away by the police as a suspect and signed a paper with the suspect printed on it. After eight hours of interrogation, there was still no progress in the case, and Sun Wei was picked up by his family.

In December 1996, Zhu Ling’s family sued Union Hospital for delaying the best treatment time. On April 2, 1999, Union Hospital appealed at the first instance. Zhu Ling’s family was dissatisfied and appealed. In November 2000 On the 26th, the Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People's Court finally ruled that Union Hospital should compensate Zhu Ling Medical and others for losses of 100,000 yuan.

In May 2013, someone wrote a petition to the White House. The letter introduced the case process in detail and wrote: "Sun Wei changed his name and entered the United States through a fake marriage. To protect the safety of our citizens, we appeal to the government Launch an investigation and deport Sun." On July 28, 2015, the White House responded, saying: It is sympathetic to Zhu Ling's experience, but declined to comment on the specific requests in the petition.

At present, the biggest hope of Zhu Ling's parents is that the police can detect the case as soon as possible and give their daughter justice. They always believe that justice cannot be bullied.

Now Zhu Ling still has the care of his parents, but as time goes by, their health is getting worse. What should the family do? No matter what, I still hope that the police will pay attention to it, find new evidence to solve the case as soon as possible, and give justice to the victim!
