Pushing the time forward, it has been more than eight months since the case was not heard in public in July last year; It has been more than a year and a half since Gao was arrested in August 2006. It has been 30 years since Gao Zai 1988 committed the first case.

The time span of the crime was 14 years, and the youngest victim was only 8 years old. The method of committing crimes was extremely cruel, which once caused panic in the local area.
Until August 26th, 20 16, spanning 28 years, the 52-year-old suspect Gao was arrested, and the silver series rape and murder cases were solved. 2065438+In July 2007, the Intermediate People's Court of Baiyin City, Gansu Province tried the case in the Baiyin District Court in private. The trial lasted for two days, and both Gao He pleaded guilty.
In the past 30 years, 1 1 the families of the victims have experienced unspeakable grief and their lives have changed. Before the verdict, a family member told the Red Star journalist: "It is a kind of torture for us. We just want to end it quickly and can't hold on. "
In Gao's hometown, most neighbors are reluctant to talk about it. His 80-year-old uncle Gao Zuoren shook his head as soon as he mentioned it: "Who cares?" He doesn't care. He committed such a big crime. "
Zhu, Gao's defense lawyer, told Red Star News that while waiting for the verdict, he met Gao and asked about Gao's personal situation. Gao also asked him when the verdict would come down.
"Sensitive, afraid to mention, just want to end as soon as possible, can't hold on."
On March 27th, Deng Yan (a pseudonym) saw the news of the impending sentencing on his mobile phone. She immediately called her lawyer, who answered her affirmatively and told her that she could attend. Only on the 30th, Deng Yan couldn't come to the scene because of the delay.
1998 65438+1October19 In the afternoon, a 27-year-old female named Deng, who lives in Shuichuan Road, Baiyin District, Baiyin City, was killed at home. The victim is Deng Yan's sister. Finally, when the day came, Deng Yan felt exhausted.
On March 28th, the reporter of Red Star News met Deng Yan and talked about the upcoming judgment. Deng Yan said, "I just want to solve it as soon as possible and end it quickly. I can't put it off any longer. I can't hold on. " In the past 20 years, Deng Yan has experienced unspeakable grief. Every node, when she commits a crime, solves a case, tries and sentences, will provoke her sensitive and fragile nerves.
In July last year, she attended the trial, and Gao was two or three meters away from her. "He spoke so clearly that I couldn't listen." Deng Yan told Red Star News that at that time, Gao gave a detailed account of the crime, how he entered the house and how he was killed, all of which were very detailed and particularly calm. The court also showed photos of the crime scene at that time. She didn't dare to look or think. She lowered her head and closed her eyes. "I can't imagine the pain of my sister."
Gao's performance in court also made her feel terrible. She recalled that Gao sat motionless and always looked straight up. Later, he got up high and turned to bow to his family. Deng Yan can't stand it. Her mood is a little out of control. The bailiff on duty immediately stood in the middle interval and left. At that time, after the trial, Deng Yan took her nephew to sweep her sister's grave and told her the progress.
Twenty years of pain, Deng Yan has been afraid to touch, "others can never understand, there is no way to describe." She told Red Star News that she didn't know much about the case before, but after Gao was arrested, she gradually learned the details of the crime, and she was even more afraid. She has a shadow-every time she takes the elevator, once she is alone, she will immediately withdraw, fearing that someone will follow; Walking in the street, always worried about being followed; When you are at home, lock the door and close all the curtains in broad daylight for fear that someone will peep outside; When she sleeps at night, she often has nightmares. ...
After Gao was arrested, she watched the news every day. "It's not that I finally caught it, and I was very happy, but the whole person was completely embarrassed." After years of unresolved pain, Deng Yan felt that he could not stand it.
A few years ago, she wanted to build a WeChat group to contact the families of the victims, but it was never built. Some family members are hard to find, and some don't want to talk about it when they find it. At the trial last year, she mentioned this idea to several family members in court, but she still didn't respond, which made her feel very unhappy. "It may be too painful!"
My sister's murder also changed her life. In recent years, Deng Yan has been living in Lanzhou. Except for last year's trial, she has never been to Baiyin again, and she feels uncomfortable when she walks nearby. Even if she sees the news about "silver" on her mobile phone, she will feel bored and turn it off immediately.
"Even when I hear whose surname is Gao, I feel uncomfortable and get angry immediately." Deng Yan told Red Star News that some time ago, her family was hospitalized and there was a patient in the hospital bed next to her. At first, she helped the patient with the washbasin. Later, when she heard that the man's surname was Gao, she stopped talking at once. "My family said I was too sensitive, but I just couldn't help it."
"Too cruel, too cruel. I dare not even mention it. It is very painful to mention it. " Dare not think again, Deng Yan choked up.
"For 30 years, my brother and mother have also passed away, and my family has also split."
Bai Yong (a pseudonym) is the family member of the victim of the first serial murder case. 1On the afternoon of May 26th, 988, Bai, a 23-year-old female employee and sister of Baiyin Company, was killed at her home in Yongfeng Street, Baiyin District.

On March 28th, Bai Yonghe and Red Star journalists talked about his sister's murder, and Bai Yong's tone became low. My sister has a nickname "Little White Shoes".

She won a pot of fake flowers in a literary performance and is still at home.
After Xiao Bai's shoes were killed, the family fell into blame and self-blame. They think that as long as there is one person at home, the tragedy will not happen. After that, the family began to split. His parents divorced, and his younger brother Bai Jun (a pseudonym) suffered from depression and drank all day. One night in the second year, Bai Jun drank half a catty of white wine and took more than a dozen sleeping pills. At dawn, people found him dead.
"My sister has been killed for 30 years and my mother has passed away." His sister's murder dealt a heavy blow to his family, and Bai Yong didn't want to think about it. 20 16 when he saw the news that Gao was arrested, he suddenly felt his brain congested, and then he stared at the report intensely. When he saw Gao in court last year, his mood was even more difficult to calm down.
However, he kept a little restraint in grief and resentment. In court last year, Deng Yan told him about setting up a group, but he didn't respond. "It's no use to unite. We say it doesn't matter, but only if the law says it. " He thinks it useless to argue again.
1On the afternoon of July 27th, 994, Shimou, a 0/9-year-old female temporary worker from Baiyin Power Supply Bureau, was killed in a single dormitory. Today, this building still exists, but it is no longer used as a dormitory.
Four years after Shimou was killed, another 8-year-old girl, Xin Wei (pseudonym), was also killed in the power supply bureau. According to media reports, Xin Wei was born in an urban family, and her parents are employees of the power supply bureau. She is cute and likes singing. After Xin Wei was killed, his parents gave birth to another daughter. Now the couple live in seclusion. When asked by the media, they don't want to talk about Xin Wei anymore.

2065438+On the morning of March 29th, 2008, Red Star journalists came to Baiyin Industrial School, and the canteen was gone. "Now there is nothing, and there is no trace." A security guard told reporters that the original site of the canteen is on the east side of the school. Shortly after Gao was arrested, the bungalow was demolished. According to the security guard, the canteen was demolished not because Gao was arrested, but because the school was under maintenance in the past two years. "If you don't catch it, you have to dismantle it."
Gao's hometown is in Qingcheng Village, Yuzhong County, Lanzhou City. Now the door of the old house is closed and the lock is rusty.
Gao's uncle Gao Zuoren is over 80 years old this year, and the two families are not far apart.
