Originally, everyone thought they'd learn how the perpetrator, Yang, staged his fake death and escaped.
But the spokesperson's answer was that the investigation is ongoing, and further details cannot be disclosed for now.
This typical official response, on the surface, wasn't problematic.
However...
People are incredibly curious!
How does someone who was clearly beaten to death suddenly turn out to have faked their death?
There are at least hundreds of videos of the crime scene circulating online.
Everyone who's watched the footage saw Tang Xiao, with swift and precise movements, knock Yang heavily to the ground.
That punch landed with such force that his temple visibly caved in.
Yang, who glared fiercely but lifelessly after being struck, lay motionless on the ground with a tragic look of despair etched on his face.
Hospital medical staff arrived shortly afterward, examined him, and declared him dead—hence, they didn't perform emergency treatment.
