Guangdong man Guo Wubin and his friend Zhang Wenpeng were taken away by the police from a foot massage parlor yesterday (May 2). Initially accused of soliciting prostitutes, Guo Wubin was later summoned on charges of “provocation and disturbance.” It wasn’t until this morning that the two were finally released. Guo Wubin came out covered in blood and went to the hospital for examination and treatment before returning home.
According to an informant who preferred to remain anonymous, “Because the Epoch Times reported on Guo Wubin’s letter requesting the Minister of Public Security, Wang Xiaohong, to handle the case of his father, Guo Hongming’s missing body, he questioned the police’s negligence in the case. The incident has alarmed the higher authorities, leading to action against Guo Wubin. Guo was only released after the police questioned and injured him, causing him to bleed during the interrogation.”
The informant said that yesterday Guo Wubin and Zhang Wenpeng went to eat hotpot and had some drinks. Later, they went to a foot massage parlor on the sixth floor of a hotel. As soon as they entered, Vice Director Li Lanxi of the Wenguang Police Station led dozens of officers in, accusing them of soliciting prostitutes and took them to the Jindu Police Station for interrogation.
Guo Wubin and Zhang Wenpeng were kept in separate interrogation rooms. The police focused the questioning of Zhang Wenpeng on the alleged solicitation of prostitutes until early this morning when they concluded he had not committed any offense and released him. Guo Wubin, on the other hand, was interrogated for 12 hours before being released.
The informant also mentioned that two days ago, the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the District Public Security Bureau had been calling Guo Wubin for questioning. When he failed to respond, they tracked him and Zhang Wenpeng to a seaside using surveillance. When they later went to the foot massage parlor, the police intervened and took them away.
“The police interrogated Guo Wubin about his posts on Weibo regarding his father’s case and whether he disclosed the information to overseas media such as the Epoch Times. The authorities were particularly nervous about the allegations against them for negligence, fearing exposure of their corpse trafficking activities. Mentioning Wang Xiaohong escalated their retaliation,” the informant said.
Legal expert Mr. Wang stated, “The police are now resorting to extreme measures to intimidate the family and prevent them from pursuing justice. By fabricating baseless accusations of soliciting prostitutes, they aim to silence the family. During the interrogation, they further summoned him for spreading information online.”
“In Guo Wubin’s statement, the police documented that the facts regarding the missing body had been repeatedly confirmed by the public security and procuratorate, but Guo Wubin refused to accept it. Instead of using proper legal channels to address his grievances, he chose to spread misinformation to serve his personal interests,” Mr. Wang continued.
He also mentioned that Guo Wubin was intoxicated and disoriented when brought to the police station, where seven officers carried him into the interrogation room. In the process, due to possible resistance, he might have sustained injuries to his head and other parts, which he was not aware of. Upon his release, he had a nosebleed, bleeding from the mouth, headache, and was in a semi-conscious state.
“Guo Wubin appearing covered in blood during the interrogation is highly unusual. Such bleeding should not occur during routine questioning at a police facility. He should have been allowed to sober up before further interrogation,” Mr. Wang emphasized.
61-year-old Guo Hongming, a resident of Shantou, Guangdong Province, was imprisoned in 2018 due to a case. Guo Hongming, who was seriously ill, deteriorated multiple times after being detained and was transferred back and forth between local hospitals for treatment. He was receiving treatment at the Shantou Central Hospital before being unexpectedly transferred to a hospital in Chaoyang District and passed away the next day.
Due to the family’s disagreement with the cause of Guo Hongming’s death, his body was preserved by the public security authorities at an organization named “Renji Shantang.” However, his body went missing on April 12, 2022, and its whereabouts remain unknown to this day.
The police initially claimed that Guo Wubin took away the body, but later stated it was mistakenly taken by someone else. However, the ashes of the mistaken body could not be confirmed as belonging to Guo Hongming. The person in charge of “Renji Shantang” had told a journalist from official media that he had transported the body under the direction of Deputy Director Li Shaolong of the Chaoyang Sub-bureau.
Consequently, the family recently sent a letter to the CCP’s Ministry of Public Security, Wang Xiaohong, requesting him to oversee the case, only to face suppression and retaliation.
