1in may, 1996, a criminal case of intentional injury and death occurred in Zhoukou city. Xie Zhehai was identified as a key suspect by the police handling the case, and was later identified by the villagers, and there were other things to prove it. Xie Zhehai was identified as the murderer. It is worth mentioning that before the judgment of the first instance, the case was returned by Taikang County Procuratorate and Zhoukou Intermediate People's Court on the grounds of "unclear facts and insufficient evidence".
On June 25, 1996, Taikang County People's Procuratorate returned the case to the public security department for supplementary investigation, and indicated in the return opinion that one is to test the blood on Xie Zhehai's clothes, and the other is to obtain new evidence.
According to the case file, when the police solved the case, it was determined that Xie Zhehai was wearing a white shirt when committing the crime. However, when questioned and interrogated by the police, Xie Zhehai knew nothing about the white shirt at first, and later renamed it "blood, a white jacket", and repeatedly mentioned the details of "blood on my body" in later confessions.
However, for the key evidence of this case, the police have been searching for no results. On the day of the incident, two villagers who had been drinking with Xie Zhehai told the media that Xie was wearing a coat and didn't see a white shirt.
After the procuratorate returned the supplementary investigation, the Taikang county police issued a certificate of 1996 on September 4, claiming that Xie Zhehai was wearing pants when he was detained, but no blood was found on them. However, the police did not explain the whereabouts of the white shirt and did not add new evidence.
Xie Zhehai served 22 years and 4 months in prison. After commutation, he was released from prison on 20 18. After that, he began to complain. 20 19 Henan Higher People's Court rejected his appeal, and then he appealed to the Supreme People's Court and Henan Higher People's Procuratorate again.

According to previous media reports,1May 1996, Xie Zhehai, then 25 years old, was involved in a murder case.
On the evening of May 30th of that year, Wang, a young woman in Zhoukou City, was stopped on her way home, severely injured by a murder weapon, and died after being rescued. According to the case file, the police of the Third Criminal Investigation Brigade of Taikang County Public Security Bureau, who was in charge of investigating the case at that time, limited the scope of investigation to 16 to 30-year-olds who were familiar with the scene environment and had been active near the theater that night, and concentrated the selected 18 youths in Dayingzi Village School for investigation.
In an interview with the media, Xie Zhehai said that the case handlers asked 18 people one by one, and even asked them to identify each other and inform the suspects. A few days later, several key suspects including Xie Zhehai were transferred to the township police station for further interrogation.
After further investigation, the public security organs believed that Xie Zhehai was suspected of committing a major crime on the grounds that his statement contradicted the testimony of several witnesses, so they conducted a surprise trial. Later, under the "powerful political offensive", Xie Zhehai confessed the criminal process.
According to the case file, the police determined that Xie Zhehai went to his home in Dayingzi Village for a drink on May 30, 1996. In the evening, after he woke up, he went to the theatre with others. Before the play was finished, Xie Zhehai left early and returned to Wang's home. After that, he left Wang's house again, took out the iron well pole from the well of a nearby villager's house and ambushed it on the road. At about 0/2 o'clock that night, the victim Wang passed by and Xie Zhehai stopped him from doing something wrong. After being resisted, he flew into a rage and knocked the king unconscious on the spot.
On February 29th, 2000, Zhoukou Intermediate People's Court (hereinafter referred to as "Zhoukou Intermediate People's Court") convicted Xie Zhehai of intentional homicide, sentenced him to life imprisonment, deprived of his political rights for life, and ordered him to compensate the victim for funeral expenses and medical expenses totaling 6 155.6 yuan. After the verdict was pronounced, Xie Zhehai refused to accept it and appealed. On June 2, 2000, the Henan High Court ruled in the second instance, dismissed the appeal and upheld the original judgment.
The Henan Provincial High Court decided to retry a murder case 24 years ago: the plaintiff was released after serving 22 years in prison.
