Since the first video was released on November 7, 2019, which analyzed the “Black Dahlia” case, the “Odd Observation Room” “We have sorted out more than 40 cases that have received the attention of the international community in recent decades, most of which are suspicious.
There are still many content creators like “Anecdote Observation Room” who focus on the explanation of the case, “Li Miao” “Myrrh Garden” in the WeChat public domain, “X Investigation” on Station B, “I am Gangster K “” Urban Night Devil “……
Just like they are curious about how a case occurs and develops, many people are also curious about how these creators choose cases, organize and collect materials, and transmit case information. To explore these topics, we interviewed three of them.
Text suspense case, objective exposition under real sources
On March 24, 1992, the corpse of Lin Ling, a student of class 6 of class 88 of Southern Medical University, was found in the manhole cover. Although the murderer’s DNA was collected at the scene, the case has not been cracked. Until February 23 this year, the Nanjing police reported that the suspect was arrested, and the 28-year-old case was finally resolved.
On February 25, two days after the murder case of the girl from the Southern Medical University was cracked, “Myrrh Garden” published an article , which reviewed the case again.
“This case is not difficult to sort out. Although it was a long time ago, the information is relatively simple.” He Yapi, the director of “Myrrh Garden”, recalled that when she was studying at Nanjing University, a female teacher was there. Two cases were described in the class. One was the murder of Ningda Lin Ling and the other was Niao Diao Aiqing’s corpse-breaking case. “Unlike the case of NUS, the information-breaking case of Nanda’s corpse-breaking case is very serious and the amount of information is particularly large.”
He Xiepi worked as a reporter for 5 years before going to the United States to study for a PhD in Anthropology. She has always been full of interest in real cases. When the course ended in 2017 and returned to Shanghai to do field research, she began to analyze what happened in the “Myrrh Garden”Suspense case.
The first case analyzed by “Myrrh Garden” was the Zhang Yingying case in 2017, which was read by nearly 10,000 people. Many readers left a message saying they wanted to see the follow-up, so He Xiapi began to write the second and third articles … This has been updated until now, “I have been paying attention to these cases before, not to deliberately determine a direction before studying the content.” As of now, “Myrrh Garden” has published a total of 181 pushes, of which 82 have reached 100,000+ views.
The accumulation of her case information mainly comes from news reports. “There are two types of cases that I would be interested in. One type is controversial and the answer is not clear. If you carefully study, there may be two kinds of answers, then I will spend time exploring the one I would agree with; the other is that this case may have no suspense, but there are a lot of criminal psychology that can be extended and instructive. ”
Therefore, we can read The exclusive inside story of the Peking University Mother Killing Case (1): Extramarital affairs , such internal stories can also be seen at Such a rational analysisAnalysis and judgment.
In the article review of the Exclusive Inside Story of the Peking University Mother Killing Case (1): Extramarital Affairs, some readers pointed out that other media reports conflicted with the information in the article “Myrrh Garden” and questioned the source of the message. Post an excuse, but on the basis of trust in the source, after waiting for the source to be willing to be interviewed by the media, it published “Clarification of the First Source” in response to those “made up” “fever” “spreading gossip” and Questioning the “consumer dead”.
He Shoupi has always been very cautious about the source of information. The way she chooses the information is that either there is official information to check or it must be confirmed. There are currently three main sources:
One is the foreign public file. Most foreign cases can be found, and the information includes forensic reports and police records. For example, “Chris Watts Kills Wife and Kills Girl”, the case information is 1960 pages long and can be downloaded directly.
Second, media reports. She believes that the media reports are mostly based on interviews. Although there may be some misinformation, the overall truth is higher.
The third is breaking news, such as the inner story of the “Beida killing mother case”, which is also the most cautious part of Ho Soup, “If I am not sure what this person said is true, I would not write it very much; if Some people, I am sure that he is a friend or related person of the person concerned, he may show me some evidence to make me think this is true. “
After getting all kinds of information, sort out these complicated contents clearlyIs the most satisfying part of He Shoupi ’s creative process. She described the process as solving puzzles, “it ’s equivalent to solving a math problem, and all the conditions are there, so what is the final answer? “.
In the process of solving the problem, she always made it clear that her first job was to explain the case in straightforward language, “I will not be too much from the perspective of moral condemnation, whether it is to the victim or the murderer or other parties. Some behaviors. I mainly carry out objective elaboration and neutral psychological analysis, rather than an emotional moral condemnation. “

In fact, there are a group of suspense case commentary creators on Station B. They reproduce the case in the form of pictures, and shock the audience with facts and evidence as images.
