If that was even true, who poisons someone because they are being disruptive? I'm pretty sure there are many things you can do before a complete breakdown that would "justify" murder. Plus, this was not a case of sudden madness. This was cruelly calculated and executed through the course of several weeks. Aside from that, wouldn't the university have records of those who filled noise complaints and, therefore, have something against Zhu, if that was true? Was it a blatant lie, police neglect to seek those files, the university misplacing the files, neglecting to take them, or helping cover it up? It feels like this should be an easy case to solve if there was proper investigation.

My thoughts exactly. Even before Lazy revelead the way she was poisoned this story reeked of someone being jealous to me. She was being described as so perfect and such a bright shining star. And then the way she got poisoned, "definitely a jealous fellow female classmate " I thought. Plus if someone were to steal her hygiene products and return them poisoned, in a dorm, they would need some observation to make sure they poison the right person. And then there's the rivalry. But the letter really seared it in, it reeks of jealousy, so desperatly trying to call the victim out and is full of projection (the part about sun being unconcerned for others). The psychotic rant about disturbed sleep is also a hint, it would need to be someone sleeping close to her at night to be disturbed. I bet she must've felt insecure that Zhu would stay up late to study, so "inconvenient" for her. Sun had also already given way to this need to be liked by people when she broke the silence to post online. It all fits perfectly, maybe too perfectly. But at the very least, if it's not directly Sun, I'm convinced she gave that Thalium knowing its purpose was to harm Zhu.

In most cases the faster patient get antidote to poison the higher the chances of both surviving poisoning and getting out without really big injuries. For sure if family didn't look for information on the internet and didn't get help, Zhu would die and maybe, just MAYBE if family wished to do autopsy they would discover that she got poisoned. And Sun probably did this because there are just too many coincidences, she could get thallium, could easily poison every day items in their room that Zhu was using and the moment Zhu fall in coma in hospital Sun could easily get rid off poisoned items in room to make sure that if police would start investigating they would find nothing.

It is a terribly sad case, and there is a good chance the letter came from the poisoner. Lazy is thinking rationally in saying they surely wouldn't want to incriminate themselves, and in such an obvious way, but the way she's described, I think there is a possibility Sun is a narcissist and if so, it would fit that she is the prime suspect. As such, 'normal' doesn't apply. She has a sense of entitlement, lack of boundary recognition if she's going though personal things, lack of accountability in continuing the attack and through her family connections, and a total lack of empathy after seeing what happened to Zhu. When it comes to the letter all those years later, the victim is painted black by some third party, but narcissists have no difficulty in pretending to be someone else and will see nothing wrong with their behaviour. The narcissist never forgets. Zhu was a rival, beat her in an election, was better liked, and that made her a target.

Esp since China’s culture is more collective than the West, so being rude to your dorm mates would be much more shameful than it would be in the US or UK. Disturbing sleep doesn’t justify poisoning.

She had access to thallium, so presumably was involved in a field of research wherein checking out a book on thallium would be non-suspicious (never mind that there was no mention of interviewing any other people who might have checked out the same book). If someone gets hit by a car, should we arrest their roommate because they're an automotive engineer? Changing name and date of birth would be entirely reasonable if they were innocent and being targeted and wanted that to stop. And if China is so collectivist, wouldn't winning an election help her, not harm her? When reviewing historical accounts, it's always a huge red flag when a story emerges long after it's claimed source (like how the story of Lady Godiva first appeared centuries after her death). All the details mentioned here are just creating a linear, dark narrative targeted at a person that's most likely innocent and even claim A4 paper is uncommon in the US when it's literally common printing paper. As was said in this very video, supposedly many people there could have had access to thallium at that university.

Case 2 def has me wondering how she "accidentally" fell off a cliff. I have to also wonder how long it was before someone else noticed her missing and if any others who knew just told them "don't worry she's with another group" or some such to slow down the report. I doubt there was even an autopsy, which could have determined if she may have been dead before landing there, or even survived the fall but died later.

@Penguin Economics The letter mentions a *specific* legal case where the defendant's entire defense-argument was that they murdered their roommate explicitly out of duress from literal sleep-depravation. The letter goes so far as to state that this specific legal case shows that Zhu's dormmates could have admitted everything on Day 1 and even if Zhu died they would have been found 'Not Guilty' for the same reason the person in the specifically mentioned legal case was found to be innocent. None of that, not a single word discussing the US court case, is applicable to their poisoning Zhu if we're interpreting their claims to be metaphorical/non-literal in any way.

Logically, Sun wouldn’t be the one to send the letter because, as you said, it would just incriminate her more - however, I actually do think it’s Sun. Writing the letter seems to be more of an emotional response - possibly of the comments she was getting after breaking her silence and mentioning she was cleared and had no motive (with statements made afterwards that said otherwise). So she would proceed to write the letter to Zhu’s parents somehow thinking that guilt-tripping them with (very flimsy) justifications would result in them possibly requesting people to move on. The wording suggesting the writer wasn’t involved really doesn’t mean anything - psychologically, wording things the way as a “witness” could be a way to further deflect blame; that is, “just in case” law enforcement traced the letter back to its origin and, say it was Sun, she could tell them, “Yeah I wrote the letter, but I only knew of it and wasn’t involved,” in which case the letter references in precisely that way. It could also very well be her significant other. Either way, we’d likely never find out - that’s assuming it wasn’t a hoax in the first place. As a final note about how stupid it would be to write the letter in the first place - I think you’ve covered more than a handful of cases where the criminal wasn’t very intelligent.

I'm inclined to suspect the dorm mate was the one who poisoned Zhu and had her family cover it up for her. That could even explain the incompetence of the doctors, being paid off or threatened to "overlook" the poisoning until it was made far too obvious that was what was happening. I also think the dorm mate wrote that letter. Why would she draw attention to herself? That's honestly something pretty easy to explain -- based on what was said about her (she was a sore loser, she resented Zhu beating her academically, she had family who may have been protecting her from legal consequences of her actions, etc.) she sounds like the sort of narcissist who unfortunately seems to pop up in a lot of true crime. The sort who think they're the smartest person in the room and are not happy at all when told otherwise. If she was jealous of Zhu, there's a good chance it infuriated her to see the case being revived and everyone's sympathies being towards the victim. Yes, one would think it's obvious any decent person would react that way, but... well, let's just say it's not hard to find criminals who clearly believe "Sure that terrible stuff happened, but why doesn't anyone consider they had it coming and I'm the wronged party?" I suspect the dorm mate sent the letter to Zhu's parents in some misguided belief they would be swayed to tell everyone their horribly poisoned and injured daughter was the one really at fault. The letter specifically expresses anger that all these people were describing Zhu as admirable, which is a pretty common way a lot of people are remembered after tragic circumstances (they were bright, they were well-loved, they had a good future ahead of them, etc.) But the writer seems to take it personally that people think highly of Zhu's accomplishments, something that would fit with the view of a petty academic rival. Finally, the letter keeps insisting Zhu "kept her roommates from sleeping" and clearly treats this as a crime worthy of being poisoned. My thought is that the dorm mate somehow self-rationalized that Zhu was somehow sabotaging the dorm mate's sleep to beat her in school and used that to justify what she did, forgetting how insane that sounds to anyone else. I would like to stress that THIS IS ALL SPECULATION ON MY PART. I'm not party to any of this, it's just my own conclusions based on the information in the video and patterns I observed in similar cases. I also know it doesn't matter terribly at the end of the day, since Zhu was still poisoned and hurt so badly. I just couldn't help but see those connections in the details, though.

My guess is that the Ushiku Incident involved at least one son of a prominent, wealthy or politically connected person. A random murder where the perpetrators could be easily identified, juvenile or not, just seems like too easy pickings for a justice system that results convictions 99.8% of the time. If someone is charged, it's practically a foregone conclusion that they'll be convicted. And if these four were identified by a first-party witness to a brutal murder, I can't even fathom what else might have given prosecutors pause in having the perpetrators arrested and charged. The story that law enforcement just *assumed* they were *all* juvenile without positively identifying *any* of them, thus keeping the investigation close to the vest is just absurd on the face of it. I can understand the law protects juveniles there, particularly to a much greater extent in terms of keeping their identity secret, but holy crap did that ever hamstring them.

That 99% percent is only on those charged who go to trial. The only way to maintain that number is simply to not charge or take to trial anyone you aren't absolutely certain you have dead to rights, or a jury or judge pool who convicts automatically no matter what the evidence is to get darker. If it's the former, then there's sure to be a lot of cases where they're pretty sure of who it was but don't snatch them up because it's not an absolute conviction. In my opinion that's not the ideal setup for a justice system, but that's still the better option than absolute corruption in the second option. Tl;dr that stat sounds great, till you actually think about

It is so sad what happened in both cases and so infuriating how they were dealt with. A group of teens who would beat someone to death, even more without any reason, should definitely be taken off the streets. They were already criminals and likely still are, and the fact police could cover for them is sickening. For the second one, regardless of the crime being committed by a person or group, even if Zhu was disturbing their sleep, which may not even be true, it is so scary to think someone could scheme such a cruel plan to ruin someone's life and get away with it. And what a ridiculous victim-blaming excuse of a letter. This was not someone committing a crime from a sudden rage caused by sleep deprivation. This was not someone trying to make her fail the year. They didn't sabotage her schoolwork or messed with her stuff to scare her. They went through great lengths to continuously poison her. They wanted to kill her and not get caught, blaming it on some sudden undiagnosed illness, and they got away with permanently disabling her and ruining her life. In the first case, it does appear like the police help to cover the case up, either because they knew the perpetrators, their boss, or whatever other reason. In the second, the university may have wanted to cover up how someone used their supplies to commit attempted murder or their property, or maybe the police just dropped the ball very bad. In either way, both intentional and unintentional lack of police effort is sickening and scary they don't care to take those vile people of the streets.

Me, too. In Agatha Christie’s novel, “The Pale Horse”, thallium was the poison. It actually helped solve a medical mystery of a young girl sick in the hospital and losing her hair.

Thanks. Truly terrible crimes, made worse by the authorities. It was my first thought that the police were protecting at least one of the guys who beat that young man. Why else would they wait until the statute of limitations ran out, then suddenly release the info? I know Japan is a different culture, but I find it hard to believe that multiple dorm-mates would conspire to poison someone over a long period of time, never changing their minds & swapping out the items again, just because they 'couldn't sleep'. Horrible. NOTE: A4 paper is widely available here in the U.S., it's just not commonly used in offices, etc. Our standard copier / printer paper has been 8.5 inches x 11 inches for all of my life. But you can easily buy A4 anywhere they sell printer paper (or order it online). Walmart & Staples have it. Thanks again. tavi.

@@richarddeese1991I will say I had a friend in Russia who told me about how education is super competitive, and they had people in their law classes who would purposely poison others so they would be too sick for exams and would flunk out. Idk if it’s the same in China, but it apparently is a thing some students out there are crazy enough to do.

I've lived in China for almost 7 years now and this is par for the course here. There is a Chinese expression 'guanxi' which basically means relations. If you have good guanxi, like San's family had, she could have even admitted to doing it, and nothing would have come of it. The CCP cadres her family was affiliated with, would have simply made it go away. The reason why this was most likely blocked, was also because of the CCP's desire te preserve 'he xie' which means social harmony. It really is sad that this happens. Scary thing is that this kind of thing happens more often than not. Like Peng Shuai's case. Or the doctor who first blew the whistle about Covid.

Weirdly, I first learned about guanxi while reading up on this case. Reportedly, after a few months of investigation the police had pretty much dropped it and straight up told her parents they might have more luck using their guanxi to search for closure. I at first assumed that was some kind of private eye or something but, no, the police literally suggested they use family connections to find who almost murdered their child.

I don't think they hid it (well not NOW), it just wasn't publishized in English. He mentions that in passing at the very begining. The Region-Locked in the title is less literal and more a slang term in this case.
