Lust, Betrayal & Corruption: A Chinese Murder Mystery (True Crime Story) | Real Stories

Фильм және анимация

In November 2011, public school educated Neil Percival Heywood, reportedly died of alcohol poisoning in the Lucky Holiday Hotel, in a remote Chinese city. His death, virtually unnoticed at the time, has gone on to shake China's Communist Party to the core. For the first time on television, Dispatches exposes a tale of sexual intrigue, betrayal and corruption. The film sheds new light on the real story of Heywood's life, his relationship with the one of the most powerful families in China and the mystery behind his death.

    I lived in Dalian from 2009-2011, Bo Xilai was a really well loved and genuinely good politician. As Mayor of Dalian he completely renovated the city, turning it into one of the most desirable cities to live in in the whole of China with the best air quality. He was a good man, who learned from his father (who had been one of the politicians to try and defend the students in Tiananmen Square) and really did believe in more agency for the people. He was gaining a lot of traction within the party and there was no way that Xi Jinping was going to let him gain more power within the Politburo. Hayward was killed because he could be linked to Bo Xilai, and that would knock Bo out of the political leadership fight. What happened to Hayward and the Bo's was corruption of the highest order. China's government is worse for the loss of Bo Xilai.

    In the 2019 Netflix movie The Laundromat there was a scene involving the poisoning of Neil Heywood. The movie implied that Heywood was involved in money laundering for the Bo family - The Laundromat was about the Panama Papers. It also implied that he was using this involvement to try and get more money from them. So it may not have gone down the way implied by this investigation.

    Marc Fullerton will be missing 6 months today. He oddly went missing from his girlfriends house. He left all of his belongings. Including his truck, wallet, keys, eye glasses, phone and even his shoes. Everything was still laying in her house where he left them. She said he walked to his grandfather's house. She also said he was sick. So why should he walk? He had a truck. After he was gone his girlfriend drove his truck to the neighbor's. So there was nothing wrong with it. This story doesn't seem like it's the truth. He had a job at a hotel. He had asked for a few days off from work, to have some dental work done. The few days he had off, is when he sadly just disappeared. This happened in Braggidocio, but the house has a Hayti, Missouri address. Pemiscot County June 3, 2020 Marc was 35 years old. There isn't enough news coverage about him. I fear no justice will ever be served. If you see this please share it. His family and friends need answers.

    Marc was in this relationship with his girlfriend for about 2 - 3 months. He worked at a hotel in night shift. He asked off work a few days to have dental work done. During those few days he was off he disappeared from his girlfriends house. She said she was in the bathroom. And when she came out he was gone. This is in the Missouri bootheel. The house is in the country. It's like the river bottoms out there. She said it was 2 hours before dark on the 3rd of June. She didn't call the police. He talked to his mother daily. When his mother didn't hear from him. She asked his girlfriend, where is Marc? So he didn't get reported missing until the next day. When his mother reported. He left all his belongings. Everything. Even his shoes and truck. Phone, keys, wallet, and eye glasses.

    Gu-Ka-Lai was Bo-Si-Lai's wife. Bo-Si-Lai was a great competitor against Xi-Zin-Ping in china's communist party. Neil Heywood helped Gu-Ka-Lai settled down in London. Gu-Ka-Lai and Neil have an internal relationship. Neil Heywood did money-laundering for them. then three month later in Feb 6th, 2012, Wang-Li-Jin was trying to get into US Consulate in Chung-do city. because he knew about the truth of Neil's death because Wang-Li-Jin was threatened by Bo-Si-Lai. At that time, Bo-Si-Lai was about to the great leader in China ahead of Xi-Zin-Ping. But, Wang-Li-Jin's political asylum was rejected. Then, Wang-Li-Jin was arrested and brought to Peizing and disclosed Neil did money laundering for Bo-Si-Lai. The money was around 1 billion dollars. He disclosed that Bo-Si-Lai phone-tapped for Xi-Zin-Ping. And last one he disclosed that Bo-Si-Lai would try coup-de-tat against Xi-Zin-Ping. Then, Fu-Jin-Tao the great leader in china purged Bo-Si-Lai. This was a great turning point for Xi-Jin-Ping to be the the great leader in China's communist party. This is a typical political situation in Chinese communist party. whoever is the great leader or not. Chinese communist party they are enemies with each other. So Xi-Jin-Ping will be purged later. So many of them need safe zone after leaving power like American or Europe. Chinese communist never ever can be a world leader.
