The Lost Man

The story is inspired by the case of corpses hidden in cement in industrial buildings on Huiyaojiao Street in Tsuen Wan that caused a sensation in Taiwan, Taiwan and Hong Kong in 2016 The deceased in the case of a corpse hidden in cement in an industrial building on Fei Yiu Kok Street in Tsuen Wan was a 28-year-old man named Zhang Wanli. He was suspected of being murdered by four young men because he came to collect debts. The body was later hidden in a homemade cement coffin. The case occurred on April 4, 2016. Zhang went to the unit where the crime occurred to collect debts from the tenant and then disappeared. On April 6, Zhang's girlfriend reported the case and the police listed him as a missing person. Based on the last phone call record before Zhang disappeared, the Hong Kong Island Region Missing Person Investigation Team found that he had contacted the male tenant of the unit where the crime occurred. They identified the target by address and went to the building to check the surveillance footage. They found that on the day of his disappearance, Zhang had gone upstairs with the male tenant and a man to enter the unit by elevator, and then did not appear again. After that, other people came in and out of the unit from time to time, and some even moved cement. The police tried to contact the male tenant to no avail. By April 29, after the police entered the unit, they finally revealed the case of the corpse hidden in the cement, and the deceased was confirmed to be Zhang Wanli. After the police traced the case, they believed that four of the men and women involved fled to Taiwan. After they stayed there for a month, the case caused a sensation in both places. It was also the first case involving the law enforcement and extradition regulations of the two places after Hong Kong's return to the motherland. The four young men went from committing crimes to burying corpses in terror, and finally fled to Taiwan to hide for nearly half of the time.
