Batabing, Badaboo.
September 11th, 2025, a very famous Chinese actor by the name of Yu Meng Long, with over 25 million followers.
He had performed in a series of hit dramas, and his career was only getting bigger.
He suspiciously falls from the fifth floor of a high-rise building in Beijing, a residential building that he does not live in from the fifth floor.
There are so many questions.
First of all, can you really die from falling from the fifth floor?
floor? And did he fall? Was he pushed? Was it a self-exit? Why are authorities being so vague?
Why are authorities investigating for approximately 12 hours before concluding that there was no foul play?
How is there no foul play? When this is not his apartment, nobody knows whose apartment this belongs to.
He was allegedly at this very suspicious dinner party with industry professionals, including his
manager, other well-known celebrities, industry investors. These are millionaire billionaires who
fund these projects, who fund these movies. He's at a secret dinner party. The police don't
investigate these people when he falls to his death from this fifth floor window. The window itself
has been a huge point of contention. It's not a balcony. It's not like a little balcony that
you want to jump over. It's not any of that. It's just a window that you open and it has a mesh
screen. That window is pretty tall, falling at 35 inches tall. That's about waist height. So how does
he burst through this mesh net and then fall out the window. The police say it was a drunken
accident. They say he got way too wasted and maybe he stumbled and maybe he fell through the net
and then fell out the building. That's the only conclusion that we can come to. People obviously
have questions. Lots of questions and the police don't want to answer anything. In fact, if you ask any of
these questions on Chinese social media, your account is likely going to get suspended. You're likely going to get
banned. So now, the biggest question people have are, why is the Chinese government censoring a
celebrity's death? It doesn't make sense. If the Chinese government has nothing to do with the
celebrities passing, why don't they just have the police investigate further? Why don't
they investigate everyone at the dinner party? Why don't they look for CCTV camera at the residential
complex? Nothing's making sense. Who is connected to the government where they would have this
type of power to censor everything? It's like overnight, Yu Meng Long, goes from being a beloved
celebrity, an actor, to being an enemy of the state? Who's doing that? Well, people have a list.
There is a list of 17 people going around. And this 17 list, the 17 person list, people are saying,
we have all these reasons of why we think they were present at the dinner party. And the first one
to go down is a red-haired film director by the name of Cheng Qing Song. He's famously known for having
like bright magenta looking. It's a very bad dye job, but he has bright red hair. And I don't think
that he has any particular works that are very standout. That's why people think it's suspicious.
How does he stay in business when he doesn't have any spectacular films? It doesn't make any sense.
And he's very, very wealthy. And he's very well connected. People say he was at that dinner party.
And we know he was at that dinner party. And that feeling of injustice is a big deal. So director
Chang comes out and he says, I feel very burdened by this accusation that I was at this so-called
dinner party. First of all, guys, I don't know what you're talking about. And I have the evidence
to show that I was not there at that fifth floor unit in this Beijing high rise. I was at
dinner with a different friend of mine. Tian Hai Rong. She is the widow of this billionaire Chinese
businessman and she's a good friend of mine. And so, of course, we were at dinner. So he posts these
screenshots from WeChat, his text messages, with Ting Heirong to show, look, I wasn't there.
I was at a different dinner party.
The text messages read, are you there yet?
This is Director Cheng asking.
Ting replies with a voice message.
And, okay, so WeChat is kind of like I message where if you respond with a voice message,
you can convert it to text.
And so he's converted to text so he can take a screenshot and show the people, show the
internet.
This is our conversation.
I'm not hiding anything from you.
I was not at the dinner party where Yu Meng Long suspiciously died.
Please, stop connecting me there.
Ting Heong responds, why are you there so early?
I'm on the way.
You can order a cup of coffee first at the lobby.
I met a reservation inside the restaurant, inside of the Bulgari Hotel, but just get some coffee
in the lobby first.
I'm going to be there soon.
This is from September 10th, around 6.30 p.m.
The night prior.
Yes, the night prior.
We still don't know what time Yumeneng allegedly fell to his death.
We just know that he was found at around 6 in the morning by a neighbor who was walking the dog.
We don't really know anything else.
He responds, well, I got here 40 minutes ago.
Why did you get there so early?
Didn't we say that we were going to meet at 6.30?
This timing is just, can you just sit and wait and take a break?
There's a little bit of traffic here.
I was working this afternoon.
Yeah, no, it's okay.
Ting sends a heart emoji, a hug emoji, and she responds, you know, I'm coming from the airport, so the journey is quite long.
and he responds, no rush.
That's it.
That's like the contents of this screenshot.
And netizens think, what does this even mean?
What does this do?
How is this an alibi?
Text messages with your friend should not constitute as an alibi to a crime.
People think it's weird that he's even posting this.
And also, just because you meet someone at dinner for 6.30 at 6.30 p.m.,
doesn't mean you don't go anywhere else after.
It doesn't prove that you even went to dinner with her.
I mean, no pictures from that night, nothing else to place you somewhere outside of the crime, just text messages?
Because of how suspicious the messages are, and the fact that he's releasing this as an alibi,
people start going over and asking Tian Hiron, the widower of the billionaire,
Hey, can you talk about this?
Because like, what do you mean you were at the bulgarie hotel with him?
Are you sure he's not lying?
Are these real text messages?
You're friends with this director?
What's going on?
she comes out and she says
I never wanted to explain myself to the internet
You know, I'm from an older generation
I don't really check the internet
I was told by family and friends
that I'm getting roped up into this madness
I don't even know these people
I don't even know you Minglo
Let me tell you what happened
September 10th I had dinner with a good friend of mine
Director Chang well I thought was a good friend of mine
Okay, I don't know why he's dragging me into this mess now
by posting these screenshots
He could have just said that he had dinner with a friend
But instead, now my name is out there.
My name is connected to this.
I'm getting cyber bullied.
Because people think she's also one of the 17 people now.
Yes, because they're like, she's so rich.
She's so well connected.
She's always got her little fingers in the entertainment industry.
She must have been at the dinner party too.
Like who's to say that they even went to the Bulgari Hotel?
Maybe they just went to the dinner party and they forged these messages.
And she's saying, I don't know what any of you guys are talking about.
This is impacting my family.
This cyberbullying is impacting my reality now, my family.
So I'm also going to post screenshots of the text messages that I had with director
Chang on September 10th, and I will point out something very strange.
First of all, I think it's strange that he's pulling me into this madness.
And second of all, I think it's very strange that he chose to delete this one text message
that he sent me that night.
Right before he told me, no rush at the very end of the thread that he showed you guys on the
internet, he had said, I'm dealing with something. No rush. So I'm dealing with something, no rush.
He deleted, I'm dealing with something. I'm just saying, why lie to the internet? Like, why
drag me into this? That's all I'm saying. I'm just going to post my text messages out there.
So netizens are like, okay, we've got the exact same text thread minus or plus one message
from two different people, from director Chang and now his buddy, Ting, Hiro. So they're comparing
these two sets of screenshots. Both of them are taken on an iPhone and both of them are very
suspicious. This is like shooting your own foot. Now people have more ammo to study the different
things, pieces of evidence out there. The first thing that they notice is that the audio messages,
when they're both converted to text, they have 16 characters per line, including spaces and
punctuation. Typically on WeChat, it's 15 characters per line. People start sending their friends
audio messages converting to text, taking screenshots, showing, hey, I have an iPhone, I probably
have the exact same model, and it's 15 characters per line. But other people are commenting,
well, sometimes when you change the text size on your phone, you could maybe do 16. Sometimes it's
like the screen size if you have like the pro, not the pro max or like, you know, it could change.
But people are like, it's still, it's still weird. Let's look for something else. And they find
something else. You know how we chat or any other messaging app? It likes to refresh you on the
time and date. It'll say, even if you're in the midst of a conversation, it'll be like,
well, now it's 10 minutes later, so I'm going to give you the time in the middle of the
screen. It's not like you have to slide to the right to see all these text messages. It's just
right there in the middle of the screen. Well, they see that and they see all these different
timestamps, and they try to line them up. And the colons of all the timestamps, normally on
we chat, are very consistent, very uniform. They're not matching anymore.
Yeah. So some people suspect that it's Photoshop. Yes.
time is, yeah, moved.
And it's not like it went from 152 to 12.01.
It's like, it's always been 6.640, 642, 643.
So it's weird.
Why would this little colon for the time mark keep moving?
People think that's very strange.
But again, this is not proof.
This is not evidence of anything.
Another thing that they thought was very strange was that sometimes the time itself would
not add up, not even just the colones of the time markers, but the time itself. For example,
the hug emoji, the heart emoji that Tang Hai Rong sends director Chang, she sends that at
643 p.m. But he receives that message at 641 p.m. How do you receive a message that someone hasn't sent
yet? Unless maybe the default settings for your time on your phone are different. Or
she sent it 643 he received something else at 641 that he deleted it
so there's like multiple messages before those hug and heart that that's why it's showing 641 yes
that's also another thing people think either it's completely photoshopped and they did a bad job
or they're deleting messages and reconstructing a storyline without any incriminating information
And so people are like, now we have these two sets of text messages and both of you guys are suspicious because first of all, both of you guys have been suspicious from the get-go.
Director Chang, he does not have a spectacular background.
He does not have a spectacular reputation in the industry.
People call him a creep.
They call him like a Chester the Molester.
Like, it's, first, I do think that he does look a little bit sleazy.
He does look a little bit greasy.
and as a film director, he does this thing where he just sexually harasses people.
I will say that director Chang is openly gay, and nobody really cares about that at all.
I mean, I'm sure like any other country, there's some homophobic people, but truly, nobody really cared.
The only thing that people were upset about is that time and time again, there would be these rumors,
there would be these conversations, scandals that come out of director Chang sexually harassing
male models, male influencers, and male budding actors who want to get into the industry.
And the way he does it is very stereotypically predatory of the industry.
He would say, you want a job?
Let's go eat.
Sometimes he would just find a male influencer that he finds attractive online
and sexually harass them nonstop sending DMs.
Like, I'm hungry.
I want to eat.
You know what I want.
Do you like me?
Do you want to meet up saying very suspicious things?
Which I know why you're thinking that, okay?
It lines up because.
September 10th, that very night that this dinner party allegedly happens,
he posts on Twitter one word, yummy.
No context, nothing.
No picture, no picture of food, just yummy.
That's why he's getting roped into this.
Well, that and a lot of other reasons, but that's one of the big reasons.
He's always had this very strong standing reputation of harassing young men.
There was at one point he's 34 years old dating a 19 year old.
And still, that's already creepy.
People kept saying that he's an old cow that likes to eat fresh grass.
Because it's just, it's very unsettling.
But even while he's dating that 19 year old, he would go online and harass other 18, 19 year old male models.
So people already don't like him.
And the fact that he posts this alibi, it's just rubbing people the wrong way.
You're not proving anything by sharing text messages with a friend.
And they're already suspicious.
And Ting Hai Rong, people are coming for her too.
First of all, you have a billionaire husband,
got arrested for money laundering,
and then in prison right before he gets out
at the very young age of like he's in his 40s,
he just drops dead in prison and then you inherit all of his money
and then the rest of your life you just chase after seemingly young, allegedly,
young actors in the industry to date and have boy toys and boy play things.
Like that's your whole life.
You stick your little grubby fingers to try to get all the idols
to do things with you because you invest in their projects,
that's the vibe that's always been a small reputation of hers
that's been following her around.
And so people don't like these people already,
and these text messages are not helping.
What are you hiding?
So these two come out and they say, you know what?
I got you.
I'm going to give you more information.
Here are receipts.
You want receipts?
I got you.
I'll give you receipts.
Here is a paper receipt of the Bulgari Hotel
in which us two, we ate in for a table of two, September 10th, at around 6.47-ish, because, you know, the timing was, I got there late, because I was going from the airport, you get it. So they post a picture of this paper receipt sitting on a marble counter. And then to go along with that, because of course, people are going to be like, you could have bought that. You could have posted online. You could have asked a friend, where did you eat dinner last night? Or at September 10th, give me the receipt. I'm going to act like it's me. So they post.
a screenshot of their bank, their bank transaction that coincides with the date and with the exact
amount for the bulgari restaurant. So they're like, see, the money is coming from my bank and I'm
going to give you a screenshot of that, okay? A few things. You know when you keep talking because
you want to absolve yourself of any guilt, but the more these people are talking, the more guilty
they seem, that's exactly what happens. At first, netizens are like, okay, that's a lot of receipts.
but you look at the receipts. It's interesting. This receipts itself has been studied to
hell and back. The itemized list shows three dishes, two sodas, and a portion of Italian cheese.
It's a table for two at table 13 in the Bulgari hotel restaurant. The grand total,
including service charges and taxes, comes out to be $215. Obviously, there are comments on how
ridiculous it is to spend $215 on two people. But another thing netizens notice is, the picture of this
receipt they're posting this like early october what does that mean it's been a month since
september 10th it's been like weeks uh-huh and you're telling me the receipt looks pristine
it doesn't look wrinkled it looks like it was just printed yesterday it looks fresh off the roll
fresh off the printer which is very strange because these two people they're very wealthy
they don't seem like the type to save their receipts for bookkeeping they don't seem like the type
that's like, oh, that was a business dinner, I got to put it in my bookkeeping.
They seem like the type that's like, if it's under $10,000, I don't even need a receipt.
Yeah.
But suddenly you have the most pristine collection of receipts that is not crumpled, that you don't just shove into your pocket or your purse.
It doesn't make any sense.
But the more damning piece of evidence is the receipt shows a time of 7.10 p.m.
That's when the receipt is.
That's when the, okay, so it says time, 7.10 p.m.
At the very least, some people are interpreting it differently.
it doesn't make sense that they would be done eating at 7.10 p.m.
Because their text messages, they were supposed to meet at 6.30, but she's running so late.
And then also, it's a hotel. It's a five-star hotel.
Any hotel, regardless of the stars, but the more stars, the more wait time at restaurants, typically.
They sit down, you get wine, you get drinks, like it takes, you're sitting there for 40 minutes
chit-chatting before your food comes out at the Bulgary hotel.
they're speed eating like this is a tripoli it doesn't make any sense
or this is when the tab is open maybe so that's the next thing people are like okay this is
when the tab was open yeah they start the order they take the order at 710 p.m okay put it
into the system and now it's probably going to take like another 30 minutes for the food to
come out 7 10 30 736 so about 26 minutes later yeah they're definitely not done eating
because again if the food is put in
the system at 7.10, let's say the fastest it comes out, I mean, 15 minutes later, what is that?
That's 725. And then you're done at 736? I doubt it. There's no way. An Italian cheese plate,
you're not scarfing cheese down like that. You're sitting there and you're talking. So why is it
at the very end of their text messages? You don't see the text message itself, but like I said,
in the we chat likes to float these little time markers when more text messages.
are sent.
You just see this in the middle of the screen at the very bottom of the screenshot, 7.36 p.m.
There's a message.
A message.
So it's them two sitting inside of this high-end restaurant in the Bulgari Hotel, texting each other at the same table.
Why would they do that?
Why would they do that?
And why would they not show us the message then?
Yeah.
And then another thing.
You know how we got those screenshots of the Wii chat?
It's very clear that both of them, these screenshots come from an iPhone.
Why is it that when they post their bank statement, it's an Android all of a sudden?
The time, the battery marker, it's all Android interface.
So what does that mean?
And what does the Bulgari Hotel have anything to do with this?
This is probably the more complicated web of storylines that we've covered
in a while where nothing can be taken as a fact, nothing can be confirmed, everything is
alleged, but everything starts unraveling in a way that doesn't even make sense.
Videos start going viral of what appears to be Yu Meng Long being tortured inside of a
bulgary hotel, the same Bulgari hotel that these two allegedly had dinner at.
Then these two, a lot of their history starts coming up, and there are allegations that they're
connected to not just Yu Meng Long's passing, but to other famous celebrities passing.
You Meng Lung's agency, in fact, there are now conversations of at least 10 different celebrities
passing away under very suspicious circumstances from his exact same talent agency.
And there's so many things that are very similar to his case.
The police are closing the cases immediately.
There's lots of rumors circulating.
The police want to shut down all conversations.
They don't want to reinvestigate.
They don't want to disprove any rumors.
They just wait until all of it quiets down.
and everyone forgets about it.
And these people, they keep coming up
in even some of those other celebrity passings.
This is part two of the Yumen Long case.
These are the people that were allegedly present
at the secret dinner party
in which Yumen Long passes away suspiciously.
We have alleged statements from his cousin, his mother,
and a lot of people who are connecting his passing
to another famous singer who passed away nine years ago,
who are connected to all the same people.

are available about rotten mango podcast.com. We will also be linking a signature petition on the website
demanding justice for you Meng Long. A quick disclaimer, there are lots of sensitivities in this
episode, brief mentions of self-exit, corruption, drugging, physical assault, essay,
And a lot of perhaps more political conversations that have been taking place,
this is just a recap of all the different discourse online.
This is not me taking a political stance against one nation or another,
especially when I have yet to visit a country.
I don't even think that I am in a position to take any judgments.
But today's case does take place in China.
We had our professional translators working almost around the clock to help gather the information
for this case. In this case, I mean, if you haven't watched part one already, go watch that first
because there's no way that I can even give you a full recap on it. But it is the most confusing
case in the sense of there is nothing that is confirmed. There is nothing that we know to be
definitively true. I mean, categorically, everything is alleged. Everything is a rumor.
Even rumors are getting debunked. There will be times where my researchers are like, yes,
this is what happened. And then they'll call me in the middle of the right and be like,
that's not what happened. They just disproved it. Okay.
let me tell you, but then after people are disproving it, other people don't believe in the
disproving of the rumor. So there's like 20 different camps of people for every allegation, for
every suspicious leak that's been out there. So the information in this episode is largely
unverified, limited, constantly getting deleted, re-uploaded. I imagine this episode, I actually
don't know if it will age well or not. For the sole reason that with cases like this, we're very
hesitant to talk about it because the last thing we want to do is spread an unconfirmed rumor
or to indirectly accidentally cast light onto someone that may have no involvement.
That's a huge fear of ours.
But with this one, I just don't know if there will ever be a time where the authorities
will come out and give us any concrete information.
And I think that what has happened with other celebrities that were part of you, Meng Lung,
agency, people have just stopped the conversation because it's been yours. And so this is what
we know and this is what the online discourse is. But again, do your own research, come to your own
opinion. The only things that I can tell you with full confidence in this episode is that
Yu Meng Long, a famous beloved Chinese actor, is dead. The facts around his death are suspicious
in my opinion. The government, the police are behaving even more suspiciously and those are the
only concrete facts that we really have. I cannot confirm with certainty just about anything else.
Nobody has been detained, convicted. Nobody has really spoken out to give any fact-based information
on why they're not related to this case or why they are. It's just everything is very hazy.
And legally speaking, his death has been ruled an accident. So with that being said, we're going to go
over all of the people that were allegedly involved and all the conspiracies that range from
believable to kind of like a movie. They're really intense. There are times where I would get
so sucked into a conspiracy while researching that I would have to take a moment to be like,
wait, is this too crazy? Like, am I going down a rabbit hole and believing in something too
crazy? Because the sense is kind of there, but I've never seen stuff like this happen in real
life. So is this just unhinged conspiracy theories? And to that I just say, there are times
where you have a conspiracy theory and the reality is not that dark. The conspiracy theory is
like a combination of the top 10 movies of that year meshed into one giant aluminum tinfoil
hat theory and the reality is a little bit more simple. And there are times where the reality
is a lot darker than the conspiracy theories themselves and everything is a lot worse in reality
than we ever thought. So I don't know what the case is with this situation. It could be true. It could be
worse, we don't know, but I'm going to go through all of it with you today. So with that
disclaimer, let's get started. How do you know when a celebrity actually needs help? Even if they
are saying things, how would you know if it's real? That has been the case with you Meng Long's
last live streams. People have been pouring through his social media history. They've been
going through his pictures, any of his tweets to see, is there something we're missing? And they
have put together a series of clips. So in part one, we went over. He looked like he had bruises on his
eyes, it looked like he had these injuries that he was hiding with makeup when he was out and about
and fans were taking pictures and videos of him. But in his own live streams, fans have found some
very strange things. We don't know if these have been taken out of context, so take it with a
grain of salt. But in one live stream, Yumen Long is wearing what appears to be a blue suit. He
looks like he's working and it just looks like he's reading comments from his fans during the
live stream. He kind of has his hand covering his mouth as he's reading the comments. And some
people say it actually doesn't look like he's reading the comments. His eyes aren't necessarily
moving left to right. They're not moving up and down. They're just kind of staring at the comments
almost as if he's looking at the comments, but his attention is maybe elsewhere in the room.
Like he's trying to listen in the room. He's trying to get a vibe of if anybody in the physical
room with him is staring at him. And then eventually he says, um, puts his hand down. He says,
while he's covering his mouth, puts his hand down and immediately mouth something
before talking. And it sounds like a very breathy low, save me. Save me. You can barely hear
him. You can see his lips moving. You can hear some breathiness. It's kind of sounds like
save me, but you don't really hear it. It sounds weird. And then immediately afterwards,
he starts voicing out his words like this. So it's like, save me. And then voicing out his words.
like this. Just talking about normal things. Netizens have ripped this live stream apart saying,
is this a moment where he's reaching out for help because it doesn't make any sense? Why would he say
save me like that? Others are saying, no, it's because the internet was lagging. So maybe his mouth
and his voice weren't matching up. And so his mouth looked like it was saying save me, but it wasn't,
it was just not catching up to the sound. Other people are saying that doesn't make sense
because I distinctively hear a save me. Then there are conversations that,
that breathy save me was edited in later by someone who wants this to go viral.
So there is so much discourse around this live stream, but it doesn't help that there are just a lot
of weird things that he did before his passing. In the month of August, there are social media
posts after social media post where it seems like Yumen Long is unwell. In another live stream,
he voices out the words, help me. A lot louder this time. His fans hear it, but they do nothing.
everyone assumed that he was talking about his network being bad.
So right before this, he's talking about how his network connection is not the best
and the live stream isn't really working well.
And then he says, help me.
And so people are wondering, maybe he tried to play it off with whoever is in the room with him
because the whole insinuation is that his agency, his manager are in control of him.
There are people who believe that he has been held captive for a really long time,
that he's been doing work events, he's been live streaming while being held captive so that
nobody is suspicious. So they think that he's saying, help me as in like, maybe everyone in the room
will think that I'm talking about the network, but I'm telling you, help me. Then there is another
moment that people have dissected. So I know in America we have the DV violence symbol for help. So if you
are in a car and a police officer drives up, or if you're in an airport and you're talking to a TSA gate
agent, you have your open palm, all five fingers up, like a high five. You tuck in your thumb
and then you close your fist around your thumb. He has done that motion multiple times in his live
streams. So he'll have five hands out and then he'll kind of tuck his thumb in, covering his
mouth, and then he'll tuck it all the way in and do a fist and cover his mouth. He does it very
naturally. So some people are wondering, is this just a natural motion he does? And then in Chinese,
I think some people think it's 540, which in Chinese is, it's wu-40 sounds very similar to
I'm dead. So it's like another signal that people are picking up. There's also another poem
that started going around. And I couldn't verify if this was exactly from him because I
couldn't find any of the original sourcing. Neither could the rest of the team. But it seems like he was
writing a poem about a rainy day and how he's learning some magic tricks. It's the most
random poem. Even if I were to give you the translation for it because of the way that the
sentence structure and English and Chinese are so vastly different, it wouldn't make sense.
But it felt very random in the sense of today's a rainy day. Don't forget your umbrella.
I learned a new magic trick today. Like it's very out of nowhere. Like the poem itself is not
artistic. It doesn't make any sense. But people were saying if you take the first character of
every single line of this poem, it says, today they want me to die. And that has been circulating.
So these are all the reasons that people think that he has been held captive for months,
which begs the question, who's keeping him captive? Why are they keeping him captive?
September 11th, 2025, my sister-in-law actually opens up her little red book app.
Do you guys remember when TikTok was going to get banned in the U.S.? It was a very bizarre side plot in the U.S. timeline.
everybody starts posting dramatic goodbyes and then immediately downloading another app called Little Red Book.
This is that app.
In China, it's probably the more new, more foreigner-friendly application.
Like Doying is Chinese TikTok, the original TikTok.
But Shan Ho-Shu is kind of like Pinterest, Instagram.
It's for younger people.
Lots of foreigners love it.
And she opens up the app.
And the first message that she gets is like, hello, are you aware of the content guidelines
on this application, you are not to repost like negative celebrity trivial matters.
Like please refer to the terms and conditions as a user.
Click here to accept and close.
It was the most bizarre out of place notification that she got to the point where she
screenshots it and sent it to her friends because she thought it was very strange.
And it wasn't because of like she was posting anything and getting like a strike or another
alert.
She doesn't post.
This is like a mass notification to everything.
user. Every single one. And she is just confused. And everyone is like, oh, this has to do
with you meng long. Because September 11th, 2025, the same day that you meng long has is found
deceased at the end, at the bottom of the building, the cyberspace administration of China
demands a meeting with the executives of Little Red Book. The purpose of the discussion is
your trending list, the trending list. With the users and your algorithms decide to push more
out into the ether, they're saying, you guys frequently have celebrity personal dynamics,
interpersonal relationships between high-profile people. It's just trivial. It's trivial,
nonsensical matters that really impact the online ecology and it's the ecosystem of the younger
generations online. This is not good. They should focus on things that really matter.
This is actually a thing. The cyberspace administration of China, they were the ones to
ban feminine men. That was like a thing. They didn't really want a lot of what you would call
pretty boy celebrities, which is like a bigger thing in East Asia, Korea as well, because they felt
like it was instilling weak values in the men in China. So overnight, all these idols that
fit that category were scared to get banned. So they're like posting workout videos in the gym.
So they're saying like, we are trying to cultivate the perfect ecosystem to influence the
entire nation in a positive way. And all of this gossip about celebrity.
celebrity drama is not going to be good.
And this gossip that they're talking about is the death of Yu Meng Long.
Later, anyone online questioning the cause of Yu Meng Long's death on Little Red Note
were automatically getting deleted, banned, and suspended.
But people have gone to threads, they've gone to Twitter,
they've gone to all these different foreign social media platforms
to come up with what they believe happened.
And it actually starts way, way before September 10th or September 11th.
They go all the way back into August.
They start analyzing all of you Menglong's live streams like I was talking about,
but they also start going through all of his public performances, his public appearances,
and it's around the beginning of August that you start to see a massive decline in what appears to be his mental state and physical state.
That is what people are saying online.
I don't personally know any of these people.
So what presents in a video could not be what's happening in reality, but it does look suspicious.
So this is where the series of the bruising of the face is showing up, and then also he just
looks incredibly skinny and frail. Prior to this, when he is at work events, or even when he's
traveling, he's never really the most outgoing extroverted person, but he's very attentive
to his fans. But during the month of August, any fan meetings he has where people are running
into him and recording him, he seems really disassociating. He seems like he's trying to have a
conversation, but he's not really there. That's how everyone is described.
it. He's still posting on Weibo, but nothing in particular, perhaps just a series of travel
photos, and most of it is not even of him. Most of it includes shots of plants and like serene
backgrounds, but we don't even know if he's traveling. This could have all been taken in Beijing.
So it seems like since August, he has been held captive until September. That is the theory that's
been going around. His managers, his agency, all of these higher up people have been holding him
hostage and not like chained up in the basement but they have someone watching his every move
they're watching him live stream they're watching everything he posts they have access to his phone
and they're trying to get something out of him what are they trying to get out of him everyone points
to nine years ago a famous singer that i know by the name of kimi but i know yes so he passed away
not in years ago from the same agency and people think that there is a connection because even
when Kimi passed, there were lots of conversations around, it seems like he had, there were
conspiracies that he had pissed off higher ups, that he had rejected somebody that wanted to do
something sexual with him, and they were trying to blackball him, and eventually it led to his
passing. There were a lot of different theories running around, and the police, the authorities,
they were very hush-hush about it, everything pretty much gets closed down. It's very similar
to what's happening with you Meng Long. A lot of people believe that they have the same manager. So
start going online and they start typing into different search bars, do they have the same
manager? Do Kimi and Yu Meng Long have the same manager? And these search bars would say, yes, they do.
They have the exact same manager. Doing AI. Yeah, it's like the AI generated search, which like I know
how we feel about AI, but like, you know, it's the AI generated search. People are looking at it
and they go, okay, so they have the same manager. I mean, there's no proof, right? There's no like,
no one's going into the company records, but that's what Doying is saying. The very, very,
next day after all of this blows up people are reposting it on threads on Twitter you go back
to doing and you ask do they have the same manager suddenly it's no the answer has been shot it
yeah side by side it's so weird I would say like most of these search platforms when they use the
AI feature it's not very accurate like accuracy is not the name of the game with these top searches
like even like the Google AI overview it's like most people say it's not accurate right but with
this, to change it the next day, is weird because they just leave up the inaccurate information.
They don't go ahead and change it.
So why would they change it?
Who would call to have it changed?
People start digging into the manager.
And we mentioned in part one of this entire case, the manager does not seem to have an
entertainment background.
There are rumors that he is part of an organized crime syndicate.
He's just hired muscles.
People say that he is more a, I would say hitman is maybe taking it too far, but
like the cleanup. The cleanup of organized crime. You got a dirty job on your hands. This is the guy
that you call. And they are very closely intertwined with a lot of powerful executives and
investors. He was hired into the company as yes, a manager, but really his formal occupation
would just be to watch over these subjects to make sure that they're not stepping out of line,
to make sure that they're not saying anything, to make sure everything goes as normal.
I will see this manager is also a very strange guy
If you dig into his old post
There are um he likes to post
All of these people like to post weird things
They love trying to be edgy artsy
But it's not
It's just uncomfortable
It's just very scary
He likes to post a series of photos
Where it shows a man
Suran wrapped to a table
It looks like an episode of like a serial killer show
So you got an actual person
Well it's what it looks like in the first three photos
Okay
And it looks like a person.
Saran wrapped to an operation table, like a steel table.
And then someone is grabbing his head in one photo.
So it looks like he's about to get a head massage.
And then all of a sudden a knife appears.
And they cut this man's head into six different sections.
It looks like a cake.
It's like a, is it cake video?
And then those four pieces are like,
the pieces of his head are arranged on a plate.
It's clearly not a real person.
It's clearly either some sort of sculpture or AI generated art
or drawing or something.
Something. But his whole caption with that is something that is whole can be cut into pieces. But those pieces can never be whole again. And so people think, this guy, this manager is just weird. We don't really know anything about this man. We don't know how he got into the role of being you Meng Long's manager. We don't know much about him. All we know is that he likes to post these types of things. So people believe that the person that lured Yiu Meng Long to the party, the dinner party that night, is.
is the manager. They think that Yu Meng Long is not one to go out with any of these people. He's not one
to go on any of these drinking meetings with investors. He's someone that likes to very much follow the
rules. He likes to stay home. He likes to cook with his two dogs. He has a corgi and a French bulldog.
He's a very big homebody that just works hard. He's not someone that likes to really go out to
dinner and get drunk with other celebrities. Not that anything's particularly wrong with that. But he
would not have showed up to a dinner party unless his manager had invited him. So he gets
lured to this apartment by his manager and there's a bunch of investors, a big, bunch of a big
business partners that are there. And they all want to sleep with you, Menglow. Over the past 10 years,
at least nine other artists have died under very strange circumstances from this same agency.
And that's why they believe the manager is very heavily involved. With the nine others,
sometimes the cause of death is listed as self-exit. Sometimes it's an
accident but always netizens have questions about them and i don't think it's a situation where
netizens just cannot grasp the idea of one of their beloved celebrities having depression it just
there's no answers to any of these it just doesn't make any sense and the whole agency itself
is very suspicious they say the format of the agency and we kind of touched upon it on episode one
is that it's a government-run state agency you can't sue them this is like suing the government
And if you think suing the United States of America is hard,
probably suing China is not even a viable option for anybody.
It just doesn't make sense.
So this government agency will go around and mass sign a bunch of talent.
After the end of a talent reality show,
they'll go and sign 20 new people.
And then they'll pick one or two.
They're going to make them really famous.
The other ones, they're just going to hold them hostage.
Freeze their careers, refrigerate their careers.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Allegedly, yes.
Theories.
And then they can't get,
out. Out of those maybe 18 celebrities left, maybe half of them come from really well-off families
because it's hard to get into the celebrity world into the entertainment business without some sort
of funding and backing. So these celebrities families will say, you know what, I just want out of this
contract. So I'm going to pay whatever crazy fee you want me to pay and I need to leave. I need to go
sign with someone who's actually going to invest resources into my career. So they sign the contract
and they leave. Then you have a handful of people left. These are people that come from backgrounds
where they can't afford a breakup fee.
Those termination fees are like millions of dollars.
With Yumeneng Long, it was 30 million.
They can't afford that.
Like, they would be in debt for the rest of their lives and the next life.
It wouldn't make sense.
So they can't do anything.
They can't sue the agency for not giving them what they were promised.
They can't get out of the agency and find work elsewhere.
So they're just stuck.
So what do they do when they're stuck?
This is when investors can come and decide if they like you.
and these people are considered free-for-all playthings.
They will open up shell companies, allegedly open up shell companies in their name to launder money.
These massive investors and business owners will launder money through their names.
Other times they will use them as victims for their sexual fantasies, allegedly.
That has been the rumor.
But it is true that there were companies open in their name that's dealing,
firearms and military weaponry. Yeah, so that seems pretty much confirmed. You Meng Long had
multiple shell companies in his name, and all of them were pertaining to military contract sales.
And this is not someone who would money launder. None of the money was going back into his accounts.
It's going in and out. And you're talking about millions, tens of millions of dollars.
And he isn't seeing any of that money. He doesn't know anything about the military, but it's getting laundered in his name.
There is a very famous Chinese celebrity by the name of Yang Mi.
We've talked about her briefly on our other podcast, Moral of the Story.
And she's massive.
She's probably one of the biggest stars in China.
She worked on Eternal Love with You Meng Long, and she has her own agency.
And it seems like they have a very sibling dynamic.
I mean, they played siblings, but they also have one in real life, like sibling dynamic.
She traveled to Beijing at least three separate times with the sole intention of signing Yu Meng Long.
Really?
And the agency would just not let him go.
I think that she knew that they were not putting enough resources into him.
And she wanted to help him.
I don't know if she knew anything deeper.
I'm not saying that she knows anything sinister.
But I think that she was like, he's not getting enough roles as he deserves.
I think I could do a lot more for him.
Company would not let him go.
And this company is not really doing anything for his career either.
And it seems like if this is what the company is doing, because they're a state-run agency,
they could theoretically get away with it.
Remember how I said there were nine other people in the past decade that suspiciously passed in this company?
Just to give you an idea, one of them is a female artist who ends up, this is what the police say happened.
She took off all her clothes, got completely naked, and then jumped to her death, that this was a self-exit.
A female celebrity who is pretty much probably always objectified online, being vulnerable, in a very vulnerable situation psychologically, is then going to
take off all her clothes and then plummet to her passing so that she can be photographed in the
nude so that people can objectify her more so that people can sell these photos like it just
doesn't make any sense but anytime people tried to ask those questions they were getting deleted
another signed talent is a newscaster he died in an accident and his mom later came out to say that
the police told her that she needs to sign a document that her son did drugs was high and fell off
the building. Or she could not see her son and her son could not be released back into her custody.
And people believe that with each passing and with each suspicious circumstance, that there are a
handful of people that seem to consistently show up in those moments. The first one is a man
by the name of Shin Chi. Shinchi has been an enigma in the entertainment industry for a very
long time because everyone is like, I don't know how this man came up. I don't know what kind of
funding he has, but he's very well connected politically. November 2018, Xin Qi is 27 years old.
He becomes the chairman of the China National Electric Investment Group's new energy company,
the chairman. Yes, 27 years old. This is a government-run entity, meaning how would his 27-year-old
be appointed that position unless he has absolutely incredibly strong, powerful people in the ranks
that are handing him these positions,
aka he's a political nepo baby.
If he were just really smart and capable,
even if he were to follow the route of getting into government,
nobody would promote a 27-year-old for being outstanding.
Politics has hierarchies, legacies, seniority, favoritism.
They're not just going to give him a position for being the most capable,
which I don't think he is regardless.
Which means, who the hell is Shin Chi?
He goes from being the chairman of this state-run investment group,
to suddenly being like a film producer, he just makes movies.
He invests in movies.
He's like a major name in the entertainment industry.
How do you even break out like that?
Again, you go from that investment group chairman to the entertainment industry and you're
succeeding across all fronts.
And when you look into his past, nobody can find his family history.
He doesn't talk much about his childhood.
Who is he?
Who are his parents?
Because you can only get these types of positions if your parents have high up government
positions. One insider from the industry spoke out
and anonymously told a reporter online. Like, do whatever you want with this
information, but he's connected to top party leaders. He's got
strong ties with the leaders of CCTV, which is
the state-run TV agency, the government-run TV network, news network.
And weirdly, anytime you hop on a call with this guy, he uses
a number that doesn't even route back to him. It's like, you know, you see the caller
ID, but it's not him. Like, you don't see Shin Chi. It's weird. Like, it's just like this
other guy's name. So it seems like a fake number. And they are able to pull up that number
because I guess this insider has had conversations with him. This number is linked to at least
99 companies registered. When you register a business, you have to have a phone number that
goes along with it. It's this number that's mainly used. And this number is also connected to
Yu Meng Lung's shell companies.
Really?
So everyone's saying, okay, Xin Qi seems to be, if this is true, if all of this information
is not fake, not AI generated somehow, not edited with absolute perfection, and these
are real tips given to real reporters, then yes, it seems like there is a connection between
these shell companies, Shinqi, whoever that man is, and Yu Meng Long.
But that's not the only connection.
Shin Qi has been Yu Meng Long's top fan for years.
Top fan in China is a little bit different from maybe America.
Top fan does not typically mean you love the celebrity the most.
You're the number one fan.
It typically means you are the fan with the most power.
You can buy billboards.
You've got money.
You've got connections.
You are a highly influential fan.
You can make things happen for your favorite celebrity
because you yourself have power.
That's what they call a top fan.
Shinchi has been Yu Meng Long's top fan for years.
He actually runs Yu Meng Long's favorite.
Band club.
It's crazy.
Wow.
And he is reported to be gay.
And he seems to have some sort of crush or some sort of infatuation with you Meng Long
has been the conspiracy online.
And again, I don't think that I need to be the one to give you a disclaimer.
But sexual orientation has no correlation with someone's ability to commit a crime or to be a vile person.
I mean, I think if you look at most episodes on this channel, straight people commit so many heinous crimes.
Like, if you're trying to use this as a way to be homophobic, you should try a different video.
Nothing on our channel.
But people think that he had this infatuation with Yu Meng Long
and has been trying to get Yu Meng Long to consent and to do sexual things for him,
sexual favors.
And the best way to do that is to stunt his career growth.
So after all of the big hit dramas that he was in, around 2020 to 23,
Yumen Long is off the radar.
He goes into the village to teach children.
He's basically starving.
He comes back and he jokes that he has no money for.
food. Now we know it probably wasn't a joke. But for those three years, it is believed that
Shin Chi, and at least another very wealthy influential person, wanted to get Yumen Long,
and he was refusing. So they completely halted his career. I think it sounds like a very big
conspiracy. But the thing to remember is for these people, if this were to be true, it's not much.
It's just vengeful. It's like, okay, fine, you don't want to sleep with me? Then you're not
going to get a job yeah i mean and also you look at his career how could you go from doing such
big drama with young me with young me yeah like these are crazy break out rows and then boom
off tv for three years something happened and it's not like he was trying and nothing was happening
it's like oh that was a flop it wasn't he was just gone yeah he was gone and so people think shinchi
is one of those people that wanted to get something from him and it wasn't working and another thing
to add to this is there have been reports that from beginning of August, some people even say in
the month of July, there were lots of leaked blind items from the paparazzi saying that, hey,
there is a very big actor that was in Eternal Love. Now, to be fair, Eternal Love has a lot of
big names, but he was in Eternal Love and we got news of a major scandal from him. Yeah, I think
they say like a celebrity from the show with 25 million. Yes.
followers which I mean come on how many exactly 25 million who are we talking about
and people were saying that these executives these higher ups are leaking this information to
the pop rotsie as another way to threaten you meng long and say see we not only have power of
your career we can also ruin your whole career like we can just take you off the screens yes
but we can make you a very bad person online as well and so this is just adding more and more
pressure. So people believe that Xinqi was one of the ones that really wanted to sleep with you
Meng Long and they believe that he was there at that dinner party that night. And just to give you an
idea about these dinner parties, a lot of Chinese celebrities have seemingly spoken up about this.
And it's kind of the same in East Asian culture, I'm sure Korean culture as well, not just in
the entertainment industry, even just the business world. You want to get a business deal done? You got to go
get drunk, you got to go to O'Hishik. You have to go and pour alcohol for these higher-ups
to get a deal signed. There's this very viable clip of Tao from XO. He is now in China. He also
recently got married, I believe. He was talking about, this was from years ago. He was screaming,
like getting very riled up in a live stream and he said, I have my own agency. And if you tell me
my employees, my talent, have to go do a business deal and they have to drink something,
then get the fuck out. I don't need your money. We don't need you. We don't need you. We don't
need your stupid deals. Like, no, I'm not letting them put their health in jeopardy. And I think he was
saying health as in like, because you have to get like blackout drunk and that level of alcohol
is not good. But people have been recirculating this clip by saying maybe health could mean other
things. We don't think that's what he meant. But they're saying like, we just don't know how
dark it gets when people get that drunk. We don't know how many people could get taken advantage
of. So it does seem like this is a very normal thing that happens, at least these drinking parties.
The reason that Shin-Chi is important to this, though, is a lot of people believe the money laundering is all connected to him.
He had opened up the shell companies in Yumang Long's name.
He wants to sleep with Yumang Long, and he also has this very shady LinkedIn profile, if you will.
How do you go from being nobody to being the chairman of this state-run massive investment group to being this very famous producer and director and doing all of these things in the entertainment industry?
Nobody knows who your parents are.
So there are rumors that he is the illegitimate child of the head of state of the entire nation.
Because even if he, you know, there were previous rumors circulating that maybe he was the illegitimate son of one of the polybrew members, which are like the top 25 most powerful people in the nation.
But a lot of people are saying there's no way that the head of state would not just let them go down for it.
Because this looks bad ultimately on the head of state.
It doesn't look bad on everyone.
It looks, I mean, ultimately when you have one person at the top, like anyone, most nations
have a president, you know, it just looks bad on that person.
They're the first to be blamed.
So why would they go down for a random person's son in the top 25 most powerful politicians?
At the end of the day, he's the most powerful.
Why would he go down for him?
So they think that this guy, Shinchi, is connected, is the illegitimate son of the head of state
of the entire nation.
And there have been rumors circulating prior to this.
And these, I will say, are rumors that a lot of people who,
these are people who very much dislike the government system in China.
These are people who are very outspoken about that.
And that's their right, right?
But they're very anti-CCP.
And they have been saying for months prior to this that there have been lots of rumors
and they believe to be true that the head of state has been embezzling money through
military contracts, right?
Which is, I mean, I think that's a thing that a lot of different heads of state have been
accuse stuff, but they're accusing him of doing that. And they're saying now with this,
with these military shell companies, maybe it's all connected. Maybe this is the illegitimate
son who's funneling and money laundering through this celebrity. And then maybe you meng long
finds out and wants to put an end to it or wants to go public with this information. And now he
must die. And now it's going to get covered up because it's not even just about you meng long's
death anymore. It's about a whole system. And just to give you an idea, if you run this phone number,
Netizens have been able to pull up other companies that are with the same phone number
that allegedly belong to Shin Chi.
And one of the companies has been operating for five years.
They have zero payroll employees, zero employees, and they generate $630 million in revenue
in the past five years.
Wow.
Its logo probably reads not money laundering at that point, because, I mean, that's money laundering.
To give you an idea, other businesses who generate that kind of revenue around
even 100 million a year, they will employ on average at the very least 100 people, but
typically on the 1,000 people end. You're not going to generate that with zero payroll employees,
but they're saying that these different companies, all 99 of them are so profitable,
even though nobody's running them, they're just printing money at this point. It doesn't make any
sense.
these are the allegations i don't know i don't have the paperwork in hand i am not someone who can
certify such legal paperwork so i don't know if this paperwork has been edited and reposted online i don't
know but that same number can also be traced back to another very well-known celebrity
songyiren and this she has been connected to this dinner party many a times through many
a different pieces of evidence.
Sonia Ren is a small-time actress.
She was on this reality show called Everyone's Stand By, which I did a whole Mott's episode on.
It's like a famous Chinese acting reality show where the premise of the show is you gather
a group of acting professionals.
Most of them are newcomers or they had their heyday and now maybe they're falling off a
little bit.
They get booked onto this show and they're doing skits, mini-dramas and they're doing improv
acting and you have this panel of judges of world-renowned actors who are going on to judge their
acting ability not just their influencer count but like genuine their profession and she was the
she actually made me cry that's crazy right thinking back yeah they had this um they called it
performance city and all of the contestants were to go into this massive fake city and they could
go through the costume department and dress up and whatever their character were to be
and the judges would walk around
while they're improvving these
different character storylines.
She chose one that was very emotionally gripping.
A lot of the other characters,
they were couples who were fighting
or selling peas and selling all these
like street vendors and none of it was
that particularly good.
She was very smart
and she was very believable.
So she dressed up in what I guess you would call
back in the day like a beggar
and she had a sign up.
On her sign that she held up above
her head there's misspelling of a word but she did it on purpose to show that she's undereducated
as this character and it was really well done uh she never broke character it was freezing cold in
there and she was shivering because she was that dedicated to the character i cried watching that
because i just felt like it was so good that's her she has been placed at the scene of the crime
whether it's true or not i'm just going to give you what people have found online there have been
rumors circulating long before she was even on that show that I didn't know about, but they said
that Song Yi Ren's personal and professional lives were vastly different.
They were just saying is weird.
They said online, her career is very much girl next door, soft girl image, oh, I've never
seen anything inappropriate.
Like that was always strongly associated with her.
But sometimes other co-stars and other friends would talk about her, and they would let
it slip that her nickname for a really long time was Xiao Tai Me.
What does that mean specifically?
It's like the bad kids in school
And she's like the head of it
It's like a little princess in the bad kids crowd
That they will bully you
Like the bully in K drama
Yes
Like that's the vibe
Okay yes
Yeah I am our researchers were having a hard time
Trying to describe it too
One of them said it's like
The direct translation would be like
Little bad girl
Others were saying no it's like
Head bully
head bully girl is the vibe like it's just not a it's actually very mean it's not a nice you don't get pride from being called that but soongy ren actually went on a live stream once and said yeah like that's what i used to be called but that's when i was young i've grown up i don't do that anymore i was out there drinking clubbing partying every day i dyed my hair blonde but i don't do that anymore because that's what i did when i was young which has been a huge debate online with some people saying actually i went to school with her because she went to school of
in Canada.
And she, smoking, drinking, and dyeing her hair was the least crazy thing she did.
She actually went around bragging to all of the people at her school that she slept with
50 different guys.
She was 17 at the time.
If that were true, that is also very alarming and perhaps something to look into.
Perhaps she could have been a victim at when she was 17 years old.
I don't know.
Nobody knows.
It's just what an internet user has alleged.
But there has always been this very subtle clashing of people saying.
saying she's so different off camera, nothing fits her online persona.
Even former alleged classmates came out and said, look, I'm not going to badmouth her.
I'm not going to say anything bad, but all I will say is don't believe in celebrity personas
because they're all fake.
One of Song Yeran's biggest scandals was last year in 2024, and paparazzi caught her going
to a bathhouse with three guys, like a sauna.
Okay, bathhouse seems like a sauna.
And I think the biggest part that people were, that was so scandalous, was she's touching
the abs of the first guy so she'd be like talking they're out on the street and then she'd
kind of place her hand on his chest and then she would hold the wrist of another guy walking and then
later that night there was another third guy and she was spotted touching his arm they dramatically
described this as feeling him up feeling him down just groping caressing i mean nevertheless it was a
pretty interesting unique scandalous situation for a female celebrity in china to be caught
photographed in, especially someone who presents herself as this very innocent, soft girl next
door. So a new theory has come about recently that Song Yeran is a madam. She befriended
Yu Meng Long in an effort to finally seal the deal and get Shin Qi, the powerful executive,
what he wants, which is Yumen Long. She's going to lure her friend. So people are saying that
she is the madam. She is an actress. So she rubs shoulders with all these actors and actresses. She
befriends them. She has this very disarming personality. And then she's like, you know what?
Come out. Come hang out with me. Come to my place. And at her place, they'll be introduced to an executive
who has always had their eyes on them. And she knows this because she is the middleman. And she's
like, oh my gosh, you guys should meet. Oh, this is an investor. Blah, blah, blah. Why don't you come
to this dinner party? They're pouring drinks. There are further conspiracies and allegations that perhaps
the drinks are drugged. Perhaps it's full on essay. Other times people are saying she's just the middleman
connecting these two parties and hopefully it's consensual most of the time but clearly if that
were the case with you meng long that's not what's happening but they think that she is a madam
they think that that must be the way she makes money because here's an interesting discovery that
it's been made songy ren she lives in the same apartment complex as where you meng long passes away
but she doesn't just live in the same apartment complex she lives in the same building from which he
allegedly falls to his death
and there's more about that
she claims that she moved out nine months ago
she said yeah I did live there
but I moved out nine months ago
so yeah I did live in that building
I mean there's pictures of her posing in that building
there's selfies she's taken
there's like this one picture where she's holding a giant
acorn and it's like building 18
and again it could be photoshopped
but she has said I moved out nine months ago
so we don't know if maybe the building number
was photoshopped and maybe it was a different building
but it doesn't seem like it seems like it seems like
it was that building. There are other allegations that she never moved out and there are other
photos circulating of an apartment unit where in East Asia there's a lot of times where you just
hang dry your clothes. So you get one of those like drying tables and it's up against the window
of one of the apartment units and there's this blue dress shirt and white pants that are
hang drying in front of the window. Someone had snapped a photo of it for whatever reason and
they believe that those clothes belong to you Meng Long because he was photographed wearing similar
to close and they think that for the past month before his death, he was being bounced around
somewhat being held captive, not necessarily chained up, not necessarily like, I'm going to
tie you up so you can't leave, but being watched and held captive under likely verbal
threats. Like if you try to leave, I'm going to ruin your career. So it's not like the door is
padlocked, but perhaps he can't. And they think that Song Yeran was one of the people holding him
captive. I do think that this conspiracy theory does get crazier and crazier, but one thing to
note is a lot of people were confused. She's on an acting competition show. She's not a major
celebrity. She's a small-time actress. How can she afford to live in an apartment building like
this to even begin with? So people think, well, that's because she makes her money not from being an
actress, but from being a madam, right? That's what people think. But they still are wondering,
okay let's say she's a madam she gets money from these executives she tries to force all these other
celebrities into sleeping with executives that still doesn't explain why she wouldn't be the fall guy
because people are like let's be real if there's executives involved and she is just a madam
she'd be the fall guy there would be some sort of narrative of she got jealous she pushed him
or she was the only one at that dinner party left everybody already left and then they got drunk
maybe they were doing drugs like she would be the fall guy
because there's so much suspicion. Why not have a fall guy? So there comes the suspicion that her parents are very well connected. She moved to Canada when she was young. Her dad was a professor and in the medical field. I believe he's a doctor and then at one point he was teaching but her mom was in marketing which is very vague. But in Canada she went on to have this huge company where the distribution to that company and it's very vague what the company even does but they had tens of millions of dollars in.
sales within like the first few years of opening up and people say you don't do that just by being
talented you do that by being very well connected by being politically connected she has had
multiple talks and conversations with business leaders and government officials who run
business sectors for like international trade and foreign trade and international businesses
and she seems like she there are rumors that she's also very close with the first
lady of China.
I don't know.
I've never seen a picture of them together.
Song Yeran's mother is very close.
This literally could just be someone tweeting random, whatever they can think of and hallucinate
in their brain from across the sea.
I don't know.
Or it could be true or there could be 10% truth.
I don't know.
But I think people are saying there's no way that she wouldn't be a fall guy unless
her parents are also well connected.
I know she currently like is so majorly hated.
across the war all over China, right?
Yeah.
And it's not just because she lives or maybe previously lived in the same apartment.
There's a lot of other things.
The things tying her to that night is her phone strap.
She's initially placed on this list of 17 people
because she posted a ton of pictures outside the building,
living in that same building where Yuman Long passes away.
But also there are these selfies where she's pretending to be on the phone.
I don't know if she's promoting the phone, her phone strap, her face.
I don't know, but it's like pretending to be on a phone.
And she's posing with her phone.
And her phone has the world's largest blue ribbon phone strap.
It's like a phone ribbon.
It's like if you were to, I don't even know if it could be called a phone strap.
It's like a giant dangling blue ribbon.
It's like putting a Laboooooo on your phone.
It's that big.
It's just huge.
It's a charm, right?
Yeah, it's a massive charm.
And that's what it looks like.
Now, eventually a series of people videos start making the rounds.
And I call them people videos because it appears that someone is inside their apartment.
unit filming through their peephole. When people are walking in the hallway, you just see shadows,
you just see figures, it looks like a horror movie. You don't really see the people even though
they're on the other side of the door. People videos go viral and it sounds like a man crying
and you see these figures ushering this man down the hallway. And then behind them is a woman
on her phone and it looks like she's filming them because her phone is popped up all the way up
and there's just no reason for her to be holding her phone like that unless she's trying to get a signal.
So it looks like she's filming them.
And the phone shadow on this wall has this giant lanyard attached to it.
And people think that looks like the phone strap that Song Yiren was showing off.
Otherwise, what the hell is that shadow?
Now, I will say a lot of people have more or less debunked these people videos.
They were posted by a Thai woman September 16th of 2025.
So technically, the timeline makes sense in that it was posted after Yumen Long's death,
because there are a lot of other leaked videos
that people found the original videos
to have been posted before his passing.
So it wouldn't make sense
because, I mean, time just doesn't work like that.
But timeline-wise, it makes sense.
However, a lot of people are saying,
you can clearly see that this was not in China.
You can clearly see that this is not in Beijing.
Other people are saying this Thai woman,
like she has nothing to do with this case.
If you look at her other previous videos,
it has nothing to do with her.
But even that has been debunked.
So people are arguing, well, actually, we don't know that.
We don't know any of that.
person who posted it hasn't come forward to say that. How do we know that? How do we know if you
want to muddy the waters of a conspiracy? What would you do? Pump out other stuff. Pump out more
conspiracies. Make it so crazy that nobody knows what's true and what's not true. Others are saying,
well, the Thai woman posted it because she might have friends in China who are like, I don't know
what to do with this video because I can't post it. You got to post it. Yeah, I think this really has
to come down to what each person believe. I think you're right. It does come down to what each person
believes, but I also think that it doesn't really matter if the video is true or not, because I think
these circumstances around his death are suspicious enough. I think even if videos are getting
debunked left and right, I don't think that should make anyone feel like his death was a drunk
accident like the police claim, unless there is factual information, evidence that comes out that says
he was. I think that this feels like we could go in a loop. You know, people are saying, well, obviously,
the government is spreading misinformation because if they spread such crazy misinformation and then
they debunk it, then it's like, oh, now all the information must be fake or it must all be
crazy. Or sometimes people think the government could be spreading this conspiracy to get even
more outlandish because the general population is not going to believe that aliens came down
from the skies to do something. So they think there's a lot of cat and mouse between even the
censoring party and the censored people, but I don't know.
if we have to go with the safest option, which is, let's say, the P-Pol videos are in fact
completely debunked. They do not exist or they don't exist in the context of this case.
This is not Yumen Long. This has nothing to do with this case. It's just a random video
that has been connected. Let's say that's the truth. Then what connects Song Yiren to this entire
incident other than the fact that she may or may not have lived in the same building?
She may or may not have moved out nine months ago. There's lots of celebrities.
that live inside of this apartment complex,
what places her at this dinner party?
August 10th, she uploads a series of photos.
So this is exactly one month before Yumen Long's passing.
And I don't think that she knew this.
It's clear that she doesn't because, you know,
when you upload photos, you can upload live photos.
And when people click on them,
it's like that awkward three seconds of motion
and you can hear some things in the background.
There's a lot of selfies of her where, I don't know,
maybe it's an artistic choice,
but I would just never upload those of live photos.
It's not cool.
She just looks like she's posing very awkwardly.
And then she posts a series of them.
So some of them are selfies of her.
Some of them are photos of all the food that she's been eating.
And you can hear people in the background.
They're like mini little videos.
The first one that has been a giant point of contention is of her taking pictures of food.
And she's talking while taking this picture.
And you hear her saying, he keeps resisting.
He's still resisting.
Resisting what?
Who is he?
Mm-hmm.
Then another live photo, you can hear near the end.
It sounds like someone saying, is painful or what?
Like, it's hurting or what?
It sounds a little aggressive is what people say.
And then there's almost like this smack noise right before it.
Like, it's painful or what?
Now, some people are saying it doesn't sound like it's painful or what.
It kind of maybe sounds like hurting.
People are pointing out you can kind of hear pain or some variation of hurt and some variation of a slap.
It's not entirely clear, but you can almost also hear someone say no or something along that line.
This has been a huge point of contention.
Now, in another live photo, people think that someone in the back is saying,
why did you kidnap Long Long, which is Yumen Long's nickname.
I will say that one is a little bit more debatable as people are saying, well, I don't hear it.
Some people are saying I absolutely hear it.
It's been back and forth.
But the he keeps resisting one, it's clear.
The audio is like as clear as this podcast.
And there's another picture that has also been in that little photo dump timeline is she's at a sushi restaurant and you see a little cloth on top of someone's phone.
And that phone is very specific.
It's an iPhone with this silicone orange phone case on it.
And that's the same month, Yumeneng took a picture.
Someone's taking a picture of him taking a picture and it's the same phone case.
I've never seen one singular person outside of Yul Meng Long have this.
specific phone case. No, because the new iPhone is orange. Yes. So that's common. But this is before the
new iPhone came out, which is very uncommon to see someone have a orange, bright orange phone.
It's like an orange juice color silicone phone case. So it's like a very specific texture. It's a very
specific look and it's sitting on the table and there's a little like rolled hand towel on top of it,
which makes people believe that he's still resisting. He doesn't have control over his phone. They took his
phone and they're slapping him around to do whatever it means. These are the live photos that make
Song Yiren part of the 17 list. This is it. Now, she does go back and she edits this original post.
These pictures are still boldly up. I mean, I don't know if it's just maybe she thinks it makes her
look less guilty if she doesn't take it down, but they're still up. The comments read,
this is the most popular Song Yeran will ever be. Who are you talking about resisting? Who's resisting, huh?
explain who is resisting others are commenting hell is empty because all the demons are here
netizens also report that song iran has a personal alternate account on wabo where she allegedly
starts asking people who are questioning her online so let's say songy ren someone's commenting
songy ren why are you doing this why were you there tell us why are you so evil and then this
random account that people have connected with hongy ren keeps commenting what are you to the person
who hates songy ren what are you
If you don't want your personal information exposed, be good.
Otherwise, you won't even know how you died.
Damn.
It's unclear if this account is truly hers and if these messages were actually sent.
We don't even really know where she is right now.
Clearly, she has not been detained.
She has not been really questioned.
Sometimes her social media accounts IP show that her location is in Jiangsu, China.
Other times it shows Japan.
So people were very briefly confused.
Like, is she fleeing the country?
Did she flee to Japan to try and get away from all of this?
or is she changing her VPN so that she can throw people off from her location?
Song Yeran has come out to state that she has nothing to do with any of this.
In her statement, she says,
recently I've been bombarded with online rumors,
accusing me of introducing these big bosses to entertainers
and luring people to drink and conspiring,
fleeing abroad to Japan, even calling me a murder.
These rumors and obscenities are suffocating me,
significantly impacting my work, my daily life.
I'm experiencing unbearable online violence.
In reality, I wasn't there.
I wasn't at the dinner.
Like everyone else, I only learned of you, Meng Lung's passing that morning.
To offer condolences to the deceased and to clarify matters,
I hereby issue the following warning regarding these online rumors.
The background noise in the live photos are not related to the incident.
One photo in question, it was me and three of my friends having dinner at a public restaurant.
During the meal, one of my friends was complaining about her husband.
So she's saying, you know, he's still resisting.
Oh, the friend is saying her husband is still resisting?
Yeah, which is kind of crazy.
What?
Yeah.
I thought the best case scenario for her defense, the best case would be like, oh, I was talking to this guy and he doesn't like me, but I'm still going to pursue him.
He's still resisting.
It's still predatory and it's still alarming to say in that phrase.
But I can't think of, or like maybe a deal.
You're like trying to get a deal done and you're like, oh, he's still resisting the con.
It's still weird.
But, like, the way that she said my friend was talking about her husband, it makes it even more unbelievable.
What is your husband resisting?
Maybe he's resisting buying a Porsche.
I don't know.
You know, but it's just the amount of coincidences in these live photos don't make sense.
Another photo, she says, I was eating with my assistant in a restaurant.
There were waiters and other guests around.
I don't even know.
I was completely unaware of what was being said at the time.
So she's saying the smacking sounds and the what, is it painful or what?
she's saying i don't know those are just like waiters and other people at the restaurant when i was
recording this i was taking this photo i have nothing to do with it she said i used to live on a high
floor in that building i didn't live in that unit where people are pointing out the pictures of the
clothing that they saw that matches you ming lung she says i lived on a high floor so this is like
her way of disproving it she's like i lived on a high floor that's where i took photos of my daily life
but i moved out nine months ago i haven't lived there in a very long time there are some
low-light photos circulating on the internet.
Those are not of me.
This seems like she's referring to the P-Pol videos.
I am a Chinese citizen.
I have been in Beijing since the incident, and I have not fled abroad.
I don't know any so-called political tycoons.
At work, I have always relied on myself, and I have not done anything weird.
After being cyber-bullied, I've never deleted or edited any content or photos I posted on social media.
I just, I want to thank the social media platforms for their legal and regulatory
cleanup of rumors after the incident. Because of my contract with the former agency
expired in June this year, I was unable to speak from the company or studio. In response to this
urgent emergency, I believe that if I come out to clarify, it might have been easier to focus
on me. So she's saying the reason that I didn't come out forward sooner to talk about all of this
and to try to disprove all these rumors is because I thought that if I came out during the wake of
this tragedy, all the attention would be on me. And it would fall into larger scale online bullying and
questioning. So I decided to wait until the dust settles before responding. Spreading rumors and
online violence will only cause more innocent people to be implicated and hurt. After going through
so much, I really hope that the person who spread rumors can apologize. I've reported the case to
the public security department and have entrusted a lawyer to take legal measures. In short,
she denies all allegations. She says that she's still in Beijing. She has nothing to do with you Meng
's passing. In fact, if you utter so much as a word about it, she's probably going to sue you. That's her
threat at least.
I will say September 28th, a new drama.
The moment I met you starring Song Yeran went up and immediately gets taken down 48 hours
later.
People are boycotting this drama to hell and back.
What's crazy is she's just gone back to posting normal photo dumps of her daily life.
Really?
Acting like none of this is happening.
People are commenting no more live photos.
Oh, so you're just going to pretend nothing happened?
And they also bring up Dylan Wing in a lot of her comment.
So I was like, oh my gosh, what is happening with Dylan Wing?
If you guys don't know, Dylan Wing is another very beloved actor in China.
And he's huge.
He also did a lot of fantasy shows too, very good at acting.
But Dylan Wang and Song Yiren were on a reality TV show together previously.
And this clip is so weird.
He is sharing the story about how he was invited to a gathering at Song Yeran's house initially,
previously before all of this.
And everybody is like, oh my gosh, like what's going on?
And she's like, yeah, I mean, it was like this weird, you know,
she was having a party and the whole time,
Song Yirang is sitting next him and she starts looking very uncomfortable.
It's like she starts fidgeting.
She starts taking sips of her tea.
She starts looking side to side and kind of smiling sheepishly.
And he's not exposing her for anything.
He's just like, there was this one incident where she was saying,
you guys are tired.
Everyone come over and I prepared these foot baths for everyone.
Okay, just to clarify, Dylan Wang and Song Yeran is on a reality show.
They're sitting there sharing a story with a group of us.
other celebrities and this story is making so weird and looking a little uncomfortable because
it's not a good positive story about her. Yeah. And so he's like, you know, I thought it was so
sweet of her because we had been working all day and she's like, I just want to do something nice
for everyone. Like I just want to get a foot bath for you, right? So he goes over to the party and
everyone's like, there's a foot bath and he's like, oh, this is so sweet. Everyone's like,
put your feet in the bath. Put your feet in the foot bath. He's like, oh. Is this a common thing
or no for Americans or no? A foot bath? Oh, maybe perhaps not. It's like a
soaking tub with hot water.
It's like maybe it's a more, I don't know.
Yeah, it's a very common thing we do growing up.
Like after a long day, steamy hot pot of hot water, you dip your feet in there.
It's like relaxes your whole body.
It's like, also in Korea, it's, they say it releases toxins.
I guess it would be like taking a regular bath, but obviously just your feet.
You just roll up your pants, right?
Yes.
So it's like a very relaxing, calming, you know, treatment.
I do want to say there's no like sexual connotations or anything.
weird about a foot bath. It's just a foot bath.
And it's like you go to a manicure or pedicure.
And so he's like, okay, everyone is very excited about me putting my feet in the foot bath,
right? And there's a lot of people there. So he's like, okay, he rolls up his pants and
puts his feet in the foot bath. And everyone starts laughing and cheering wildly, as if, like,
this is the most revolutionary thing that has ever taken place. And yes, Dylan Wang is a revolutionary
person. But, like, him putting his feet in a foot bath is, it wouldn't warn.
aren't such a response. So he's looking around really
uncomfortably and confused
and turns out it was
a very mean prank. Every single
person had dipped their stinky
feet into that foot bath
before Dylan Wang and this was
I guess some sort of, I don't even know
what kind of joke this was.
It seems like it was some UN's idea
where, you know, this is her way
of, I don't know what it was.
It's just really bizarre story.
It's just, I think that it's just
not nice. And so
she looks uncomfortable because her entire celebrity persona is being this nice sweet girl and now people
are saying Dylan Wang has warned us from the beginning he probably didn't know anything dark but he
probably knew that she was not exactly who she presents of this nice girl next door and he shared that
story as like this is weird like I felt uncomfortable by that and I didn't like that which is understandable
and people have been commenting his name in the comments they've been bringing up this clip and she's still
acting like nothing has happened going about posting her normal life and to do that you really have
to know the right people which again comes up we think that her parents the internet thinks that her
parents are heavily politically connected and on top of that she has a very close friend of hers
this is the person that got her into the Beijing film academy director Chang the rare hair
director yes from the we chat text messages see they're all running the same circle
these people that's fine and they're all such close friends they were friends and she was 13
he was like 30 something what can you be friends about so he gets her into the Beijing film
academy they're very close friends since then and that places both him and her and
shinchi all at the scene of the crime allegedly but there's another one there is a famous singer
by the name of fan shi chi yeah fan shichi we're going to call him singer
Fun. Singer Fun has the world's strangest picture that I've ever seen in my life. Do you know that they
actually were from the same? Yes, they're from the same. So they were in the, I think it's Superboy,
the same show that is what got them famous. Yu Meng Long is placed number 10. Fan Shici was
place number one. Like they know each other from the very beginning. And it seems like they've had
somewhat of a friendship since the very beginning. Like everyone assumed that they were close friends.
There didn't seem to be any sort of bad blood or any sort of tension on that show.
it seemed like they got along well.
And periodically throughout their career,
I think they've had run-ins,
and nobody had any suspicion of anything bizarre happening.
But there is this very strange picture of Singer Fun.
I think it's the world's strangest picture.
It's a selfie of him in the car with sunglasses on.
I don't think it's particularly an attractive picture,
but the caption reads,
ever since I was little,
I swear that I would kill anyone who's more handsome than me.
Until today, my sword still hasn't been used.
Hashtag fun, she-chi.
hashtag early days
hashtag just handsome
So this is the type of guy that he is
Okay
But then recently what placed him at that dinner party
Was this leaked video
There's lots of voices in the leaked video
And people are saying
This is the torture before Yu Meng Long's death
A lot of people are saying
There's just no way that Yu Meng
died from falling off the fifth floor
That's been a huge conspiracy
Is that people have this theory
That he was tortured to either A
Get information out of him
Such as a USB
You remember I went over that theory
People think that you Meng Long finally found money laundering evidence between Shin Chi and everybody else, and he downloaded it into a USB and said, I want out of this.
I don't want any of this.
I don't want to go to drinking parties with anyone.
I just want to have a normal career.
Keep me out of this.
He brings the USB.
They want to get the USB out of him.
He swallows it and they're trying to torture him to see if maybe he can spit it up.
Maybe he needs to tell them if there's another copy elsewhere.
That's been a huge running theory.
Another running theory is that they're just torturing him because they like it
or perhaps they want him to consent to sleeping with him and he just won't.
There's this audio, leaked audio, where you hear what sounds like singer Fun's voice and it's
saying, you're lucky that I didn't beat you to death.
As a man, it's just a little blood.
What's the big deal?
It's not a fucking thing.
A lot of people say it sounds just like Singer Fun.
and it is a very venomous way of talking.
I don't know if this is AI generated.
I don't know.
I mean, with cases these days,
specifically cases where authorities will not come out
and confirm or deny anything,
it's getting so crazy with AI.
The amount of times that we have to look
frame by frame to see if we can spot
any sort of discrepancy
that would indicate that it's AI generated,
but even then, it's not like I specialize
in discovering that.
Like, I barely know any.
anything so it's just been so difficult and there's so many we've run into even like there are real
photos and then people use AI to make that photo move so now it's like oh that looks like the video
because it looks just like that photo and then we have to look frame by frame and then we turn out it was
AI it was fake I don't know how it's going to be in I don't know six months like I mean six months
is bad like six years would be so yeah yeah so bad
this one specifically um oh i think it was we were talking to you about it it was the craziest thing
we were all sitting there and i was like something about this is so weird this is the video
that gets singer fun roped into all of this he's saying all of this and yu meng long you hear dog howling
and then yu meng long's voice comes out and it's the weirdest calmest voice and he says oh
Fuli is here to save me
Fuli is his dog
So people were saying
Listen to this entire leaked video
This guy, Singer Fon, is torturing
Yumeng Long, bleeding, making him bleed
He's like, oh, blood's nothing, right?
And then the dog starts barking
And Yumen Long is like,
My dog is here to save me
And then you hear just seconds and minutes
of the sound of a dog howling
And Yumen Lung wailing, like sobbing.
And it sounds like,
like his dog is being tortured in front of him.
That's what it sounds like.
Right.
But then it gets confusing because that whole part where he says,
Fully is here to save me, his dog's name Fully,
that's from his live stream.
So we don't know how much of this video is accurate.
Singer Fun saying that, it sounds like him, could be AI,
but it sounds like him, but it could be AI.
We don't know.
And then this part seems like it was edited in
because it sounds just like him saying it in his live stream where he's cooking and then he sees his dog and he's like oh phileas here to save me and it's just calm it doesn't match the tone of the rest of the video but then when you have the dog howling and you meng long crying it sounds like it yeah it sounds like him crying so it's like what is it possible that 80% of this video is true and the 20% is edited is it possible that 90% is true is it possible that only 50% is true and if any part of it is true that's our
very alarming. And then there has been this conspiracy that's been running around, which I've been
talking to you about, about people saying, oh, well, it's been debunked. Well, has it really been
debunked? Who said it's debunked? Another big problem with this case is there are speculations
that the people in power, perhaps even the government, they take a very real audio clip
and they intentionally fake it. Because they're like, this audio clip is probably going to get out
there somehow. Someone's leaking information, so it's going to get out. So why don't we put it out first,
but we insert some fake audio throw it out there some internet sleuth is going to say well wait this is fake this is fake and now this whole audio that would have been leaked as real is now fake yeah because we edited in this random little word in there yeah that you can hear from his other live stream yeah that's a very easy way for them to invalidate anything that's even real right and it's a very smart way of doing it because now it makes everybody question and i see people fighting in the comments
So it's been a whole thing of like how much of it can we trust even if it is debunked and like what part of it is debunked?
It doesn't mean the whole video is debunked.
We don't know.
But it does connect to another leaked video.
So in the video, people believe that fun, singer fun was torturing you Meng Long and later tortured the dog in front of you Meng Long, ultimately killing the dog in front of you Meng Long.
And the reason that people believe that part of the audio is real is because there's another.
video recording outside of you meng long's residential window and this is from allegedly a neighbor
of umeng long and again this could be fake this could be real this could be half fake we don't know
but you just hear muffled wailing and it sounds like umeng long sobbing fully i'm so sad i can't
do this i'm so miserable fully fully is his dog's name there's so much blood you you kill my dog
i'm going to insert the audio but just a trigger warning skip ahead maybe 30 seconds no maybe like
seconds if you don't want to hear it. I don't know how good AI content is getting, but this sounds
sound very visceral. It doesn't sound like AI generated screaming. It sounds gut-wrenching.
But this makes people believe people believe that
Singer Fun is there and that they killed you Menglone's dog to get him to comply.
People are now asking Singer Fun in his comments,
what is 12 years of friendship to you?
your shameless betrayal and lies have been exposed.
But what's crazier is that four days after you Meng Long's passing,
Singer Fun posts on Weibo,
I'm very happy.
Are you guys happy?
If you're happy,
are you ready to meet me in Chengdu?
Which was for his next concert
that sold exactly 15 tickets.
The comments all read,
his friend is dead.
What is this motherfucker happy about?
Ultimately, only 15 tickets were sold for that concert.
They had to cancel the entire thing.
His studio tried to make it seem like he had to cancel it because he's sick.
But all the net is in comments read,
Oh, you're not feeling well?
I hope you don't make it.
Hope the disease defeats you.
ASAP, you must not get through this.
Hi, Ting.
People think it's weird that he has not made any sort of big statement disproving any of this.
And the one thing that people think could debunk that singer fun is there.
The docs.
If this audio is not real,
then the dogs are fine.
Where are you Meng Lung's beloved dogs?
Like he loves these dogs.
An employee of the agency that you Meng Lung was signed with,
the one that everybody hates right now,
and a supposed close friend of Yul Mang Longs,
she's like, I work at the agency,
but I've been a good friend of Yumen Lung forever.
She says, in fact, there was a time where I was really sad
and I had some bad thoughts and he was the one that stopped me.
He was the one texting me.
And so I don't believe that he would ever self-execis.
So it must have been a drunken accident.
Basically, that's her whole stance on all of this.
This was like the message that we're seeing when this first happened.
She's the first one to come on and say,
this could not be self-exit because Yumanlo saved me when I had the thought.
But she's so convinced that it is a drunk accident,
which people are saying that doesn't make sense
because if you work at the agency and you are a so-called close friend of Yumen Long's,
you would know that he would not drink that much right before a CCTV giant performance
said he has the next day on a government-run television program.
So you would know that.
People don't like her because the dots are not connecting.
But some people are open to it.
They say, well, if you're such a close friend,
can you tell us that you Meng Long's dogs are fine?
Because then maybe we don't need to cancel Singer Fun
and maybe we are cyberbullying him.
Maybe he's innocent.
Just let us know where the dogs are.
Are they okay?
And she comes out to say, the dogs are fine, okay?
They're being taken care of by a close.
friend of you meng long what's very interesting right off the bat is that her post are not being
censored anyone asking about the dog their posts are getting buried it's getting deleted it's getting
it's getting it's getting wishy-washy on different platforms sometimes it goes down quicker than others
but she's doing full on posts about you meng long's dogs and being like don't worry guys
umeng long is gone but his dogs are here and they're fine and they're with his friend
the post are up so people start asking okay well if the dog
are fun can you just ask that friend for a photo of the dogs we just want a photo of the dogs
to make sure that they're okay a photo a video just disapproved a lot of things yeah just give us
time and date and a photo of the dogs and we're good and she starts commenting back you guys
are so weird you don't think that you're so weird and ridiculous when you minglo was alive you
didn't even care about him but now that he's gone everyone cares about his dogs what do you mean
such a bizarre response just give us a picture of his dogs it's very evasive
to say the least.
This lady is also allegedly very close with Kimmy
before he passed away suspiciously,
and she just keeps repeating that all of this was a drunk accident
and you guys are weird for wanting pictures of the dogs,
for wanting proof of life of the dogs.
She's a screenwriter for the agency,
but others have been coming out to say,
I don't think so.
I think she's politically well-connected.
I think she is actually running a lot of the show behind the scenes
because the way that she's coming out to make these
bold statements and claims, you're not just a screenwriter from the agency.
Even the chairman of the agency stepped down because of all this happening.
And this screenwriter gets to go online and say all sorts of things and she hasn't been
fired.
They're just letting her do this.
Are you the one running things?
And to that, I mean, you could just play it off as a very goofy rumor.
Like if you are genuinely just like an employee at a company and people accuse you
of being Jeff Bezos, it's just like a, this is so goofy.
this is ridiculous.
Like, I'm not even going to pay attention to it because of how unrooted in reality it is.
That would be a typical response.
But instead, she starts commenting, like, someone who's saying stuff like that probably
has never been inside of an office before.
No common sense at all.
It's very defensive.
Yeah.
Which makes people think, is it true then?
It doesn't make sense.
She's also very unhinged, I will just say.
She goes on to post a certificate of a star that she had purchased.
And she says,
prince has his own planet now and it's just a picture of a star certificate yeah like you know how
you can purchase like a star yeah in the in the space and it's for you meng loong and there is a giant
star emoji on there covering something which is already strange and on the certificate it reads
dear you meng long you are everything when you are with me and everything is you when you are not
does that sound like just a thing that you do when you work together like you are just colleagues you're
a screenwriter for an agency he's talent for the agency sure you guys can have a friendship but to
to put that on the star is very odd people looked up the coordinates and the star is um you know
how should put that giant emoji covering it people look up the coordinates and that star is not just called
the yumen long star it's yumeng long and her name together on the star
Then at the very end, there is another word.
It's an Arabic word.
I'm going to butcher it.
Like she literally named the start.
It's almost like Stephanie plus panda.
Yeah.
This is so chilling.
Yeah.
And she puts this Arabic word, yeah, for me.
Apparently it means like you bury me.
It's supposed to be a very romantic and somber way of saying,
I hope to die before you so that you can bury me.
because if you leave first, I can't live without you.
It's like a very strong, romantic gesture of like,
I will not be okay if you're gone.
So you must be the one to bury me.
Netizens were so irked by all of this because, well, for one,
it's just creepy.
Like, what do you mean you guys work together and you bought a star
and you're putting all these different romantic connotations?
And you seem like you're more higher up in the agency
than you want to lead on.
And also, why can't you just give us a picture of the dogs?
And we hate this star.
netizens were so irked that they bought their own star and they named it little fish which is you meng long's nickname you means fish in china so they call in little fish now side note it is said that she has a second account that she uses frequently and september 10th she writes the last time is terrifying you won't know it's the last time there is no goodbye no signs just regrets good night that's a very cryptic message before
Everything went down on the next day.
Yeah, before the first post goes up at around 11 in the morning the next day.
She posts this allegedly on her alleged second account.
There's no way to prove that this is her account.
There's no way to prove that this has any relation to the Eumenloon case.
But if it is, it seems like she knows a lot.
Yeah, this woman is so, so weird.
Yeah.
Just like the dog thing to me is the biggest red flag because that's such an easy thing.
Because she inserted herself into this whole dog thing.
She's like, no, the dogs are not dead.
You guys stop talking about the dogs are dead.
Like somebody's taking care of.
And then as soon as people asking for a photo, she got so mad.
And she's yet to stand a photo, which is such an easy thing to do.
She could easily just take a video of herself going to see the dog.
Yeah.
Or you just even ask the friend for a photo.
It doesn't add up.
This places her also on that list.
People don't know if she was there that night.
People don't know if perhaps she just knows a lot, coordinated a lot.
A lot of netizens are on the belief that she knew more than she's leading on,
that she knew more than September 11th morning came around,
paparazzi released the information.
They think that either she was called that night or she was there that night.
Then we have the red-haired director.
We're coming back to him.
So the reason that he's placed at the scene is because he's always harassing young men.
It seems like he was very into you Meng Long.
another thing is there is a picture of him at a fashion show the next day after you meng
long's passing and these are paparazzi photos and there appears to be what looks like blood on his
shoes like if you were to step in blood and it would dry on your shoes it's not like splattered
where he would even notice it's not so obvious where it's like oh no that seems like a design
choice or that seems like this it just seems like on the very edge near the sole of his shoe
coming up the ridges a little bit of his sneakers it looks like he stepped in something
dark and red.
It is weird. I mean, I don't remember last time I got red on my shoes.
It's a very specific color.
Yeah, that is weird.
Yeah.
It's not like brown and dirt.
It's red.
And he's best friends with Tonya Ren, who has also been placed at the scene.
So everyone, and remember September 10th that night, he posts delicious, like yummy on Waybo.
So again, that puts him at that scene.
And then there's a new photo that starts circulating.
In neighborhood forums and later on social media platforms, one of the biggest questions was,
who the hell are these two guys holding hands at the scene of the crime?
Which, by the way, it's not really a scene of the crime because the investigation has closed it as a drunk accident,
but most people think it's the scene of the crime.
They're like, who are these two dudes?
Can you explain the photo again?
Yes.
The situation, what are we talking about?
Of course.
So this is, a lot of neighbors had gone to that building to try and see what's going on, investigate,
and all the police are trying to tape it off.
They're not even letting security in.
it's very controlled but outside the building you see building 18 and at the very bottom right before
the door opens before you get into the building there's a bunch of police officers scattered about
and you see this man in white and he has his back turned toward the cameras you can't really see his face
and he's sitting on what looks like the ledge it's a little sidewalk ledge and then a man in black
is standing next to him and you only see his side profile and he's there he's like holding his hand
They look like they're caressing comforting each other.
But it's not this deep sense of profound comfort of we are in immense grief.
Let's cry together.
It's almost like those jokes of the young couple at Disneyland lines.
Like you always see that weird high school couple that's like all up on each other.
And you're like, whoa, this is Disneyland.
What's going on?
Like, please, let's be appropriate.
Like, it feels like that.
It's like they're just like holding each other's hands.
It's not that inappropriate, but it's like, it's weird.
It's like a calmer comforting.
The feeling I got was, like, I thought maybe one of them is the one that put their shirt on Yuman Lo, like they're the friends of Yuman Lo, and they're just looking at the situation, comforting each other by holding their hands.
Like, what the fuck?
But it doesn't feel like a deep profound.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, I'm in grief because no one slumped over.
I feel like if you're really that sad of a friend passing and seeing that friend pass, I feel like you'd be slumped over and someone would be like,
like patting your back yeah yeah i don't think it'd be like here's my hand hold my hand while you're
standing next to me yeah so people thought it was really weird but they're like who the hell are these
two guys holding hands because they must have been at the dinner party the guy in white obviously
you can't see him because his back is turned to the camera but the man in black you can see his
side profile and people are saying it looks just like director ching now a little bit of context
the man in black has black hair
director chang has
bright flaming red hair
and he comes out to say
you guys I have had this
flaming red hair for years
I've never had black hair
I didn't have black hair September 10th
September 11th and I don't have black hair now
people are saying okay well we didn't
see you September 10th and September 11th
so we don't know if maybe you just dyed your hair back
but I will say the day after
when he did go to the fashion show he did have red hair
so he's saying that's not
me but people still believe he was there that night because of the delicious comment that he
made on wibo that random post he's friends with hong yi ren he's known to be very creepy and a lot of
people believe that he was trying to sleep with umeng long and allegedly i don't know if it's true
or not i read that when kimi passed away he also posted delicious on wibo not only that he was
obsessed with kimi as well people are saying that he
His obsession moved on from Kimi after his passing to Yumang Long.
He was obsessed with Kimi, still posts about Kimi on his anniversary of his passing,
posts all sorts of nonsense.
And this has actually been a huge point of contention.
After Yu Meng Long's passing, he posts about Kimi.
And people are like, why is he posting about Kimi?
Because it's making him look more suspicious.
So not only do we think that you are connected to Yu Meng Long's passing,
We also think you're reminding us that we think that you're connected to Kimi's passing.
Why would you do that?
Yeah, because the whole world thinks you did this to you, Mano.
And you brought up another singer that passed under very suspicious circumstances.
That's a really weird action when people are thinking, yeah.
People are thinking that's his way of telling people, the very powerful people.
You know you need to protect me because he's getting a lot of the heat.
Him and Song Yiren and the singer fun are getting a lot of heat right now.
Because there's just a lot more to dig through.
A lot of the other people, yes, they're powerful.
They're well connected allegedly.
But there's not a lot of...
There's not a lot of conversation about them because you don't really know that much about them.
You don't have them doing interviews.
You don't have them doing outrageous things on camera.
You don't have social media posts to study.
So the message is not for the public.
It's for those people who's involved, you know, allegedly.
Wow.
It's the allegation is.
like hey you remember what i know let's not forget what i know what exactly is he posting he's
posting about like i've talked to kimi's parents posted this video because he should have turned 37 this
year but he's gone and i'm just posting he will forever be youthful which again people think
is weird because he does have an obsession with young boys men right it was just like very
vague and weird stuff to the point where people are like okay we think he's posting
this to remind these powerful people, since he is one of the few getting dragged through the mud,
don't forget that I know a lot of stuff too.
But if he's not the guy in the black shirt, because people are saying, we think that he was
there, but we don't think he's the guy in the black shirt.
I mean, like, the side profile is alarmingly similar, but you're right, he does have black hair
and director Chang always has red hair.
Who are these two guys holding hands at the scene of the crime?
That's where Ji Guanguang comes in.
Ji Guanguang is the owner of the apartment building in which Yu Meng Lung passes away from.
He's a writer, screenwriter.
His biggest work was, I think it's a show called Come On You Are the Best.
He's also written some books.
According to an online detective, he is the homeowner, and he was the host of the dinner party,
and he's not necessarily the most successful, but that just means he's well-connected.
He's politically powerful.
He loves Rolex watches.
He loves spending a lot of money, but he doesn't really have the same.
success to back it up so like he must be one of the politically well-connected people as well in
there it just doesn't make sense so those two watches were allegedly his yes in y monglo's pocket
yes if it is true that there were Rolex watches um people think that it was his he he seems to be a
huge friend of the brand Rolex that is so weird now she Tao is Ji guang-gwang's husband
so they think that ji guang-gwang is the man in white and she Tao his husband
is the man in black comforting him.
So they are at the scene.
But we don't really know that much about him.
We just have this rumor that Ji Guanguang's father
was the former premier of the state council.
So it seems like there has already been allegations at the forefront
since long time ago that he is very politically well-connected.
But being politically well-connected is not necessarily a bad thing until now.
So they get placed at that dinner party.
And Ji-Wong-Gang doesn't really mean.
make any statements that are convincing, he just goes off to immediately turn off his comment
section. And people think that is very suspicious. There's also another photo of him where it's a very
blurry photo of him inside of his apartment unit. And it looks just like what the apartment's units
look like in this building. It looks like the window that you Meng Long fall out of in the back
of this photo. So we've got Ji Guangdong, we've got his husband. And that husband is definitely not
director cheng but director chang is placed at the scene of the crime and then he goes on to keep
fighting it he's like i'm not going to shut up about this i'm going to post these we chat photos
i'm going to show you guys my messages and that is how tian hai rong gets placed at the scene of the
dinner party the billionaire widow yeah that allegedly also wanted uman hirong her husband is
was at one point one of the richest men in china he went to prison for
money laundering. He died suspiciously in prison and she inherited billions of dollars. She has been
friends with the red hair director for at least the past 20 years. And people are saying she is the money
behind all of this. I mean, yes, all of these people are politically well connected. What does that
mean? They have boatloads of money. They've got a lot of it. But they're using their political
connections to get away from this, Scott Frey. They're going to have the authorities not investigate.
They're going to shut it down online.
It's going to be censored.
But what about her?
If you've got no political connections.
So people are saying everyone can be the fall guy.
You can be the fall guy.
If that people are thinking that you Meng Long was murdered, let's give them a murderer.
That's the easiest way out of this.
Why does it have to be this heart?
Why do we have to have all these rumors and these conspiracy theories?
They want a murder?
Give them a murder.
That's usually what bad people do.
So why is there no murder being placed at the scene of the crime?
Why is there no fall guy?
And so you've got people thinking, okay, well, maybe Song Yoran was just a madam that was working in the business, but people are like, there's no way because then she would have been the easiest fall guy.
Shinchi, he might be related to the head of the administration.
So there's no way he's going to be the fall guy.
Director with the red hair, he's telling them straight up allegedly online, I've got so much information.
You don't want me to be the fall guy.
Same with the manager, Yuman Lung's manager.
Maybe they know too much information.
then you've got Ji Guang Gong and his husband,
perhaps they're so politically well-connected
that they're not going to go down for it.
And now you just have Ting Hai Rong.
She's a billionaire,
but it's a little bit different in China
where billionaires have so much power.
They do, but they don't have as much power
as they would in America.
They are still subject to the head of the administration.
At the end of the day, they are not the top dog.
And so why can't she go down?
They could just say, hey, she's a creepy widow,
and she was obsessed with this guy.
He didn't want her because she's older
and like maybe he doesn't like her.
Whatever, she got enraged.
She kicked him off the building.
She pushed him off the building.
She hired one of these random people off the street
to push him off the building.
They could have made her the fall guy.
Allegedly, she is the pockets in all of this.
Neighbors have reported that people were going around
offering tens of thousands of dollars per resident
to not talk to any media,
to not talk to the police,
and to just shut their mouth.
Don't post anything.
don't go on Instagram, don't go on reels, don't go on threads, which is where a lot of people
have been circulating information. Just shut up and here is money. People did calculations.
You're talking about tens of millions of dollars. The only person that would have quick access to
that kind of funds is Tian Hiron. It doesn't make any sense. Additionally, some people said that
they didn't take the money. There are allegations that netizens there did not take any of the money.
They didn't want it, and they were perhaps talking to some reporters, talking, posting a bit online.
Their tires were allegedly slashed.
That has been the rumor that's been going around.
They've had red paint splashed on their doors, and within days, a lot of the units in this complex go up for sale.
These units are going up for sale at crazy discounted rates.
People are panic selling.
Now, originally, the thought was, well, that makes sense.
You have very bad news in an apartment complex.
you don't want that to affect your equity in the house.
So maybe you want to be the first few to sell before it really starts plummeting and people
all want out.
It's kind of like the stock market.
Everyone's panic selling.
That was the initial thought.
With the amount of money that people would be losing, it doesn't make any sense.
And also, lots of tragedies happen in Beijing at all sorts of different apartment complexes.
And typically, like, you just ride the wave.
And like in a year, you won't lose any money.
It doesn't make any sense that they would be panic selling.
Unless they're scared to live there.
They just don't want to live there because they know it is not what they're telling the internet.
So why would you feel safe living there?
When the internet is saying, okay, these authorities are saying that he fell drunk, but you know that's not true because you heard things that night.
Yeah, I think I read somewhere that it was like the neighborhood before was like they have 90 units that's listed for sale.
Overnight, it went to like 153 or something just like boom, doubled.
In like 12 hours.
That doesn't make sense.
You know, something happened.
One neighbor says, I live nearby.
I was contacted by them.
It's not really disclosed who they are,
but they gave us a lot of money.
My family, they gave my family a lot of money for not revealing anything.
We did hear the sound of something falling down that night,
but security told us that one of the units was just like throwing trash away.
So we just assumed it was that.
They asked us to ignore the sound.
Like I was saying in the beginning of the episode,
the reason that people are roping Ting Hairoying into all of this,
is that she reposted her we chat screenshots.
They don't align with everything that's been happening.
That receipt of the Bulgari Hotel restaurant receipt,
that was weird.
And so people think, yes, you are a very suspect person,
and we think that you were there at the dinner party.
But she really seals the deal in the Netizen Opinion Department
when she decides to repost a statement from the police officials
as a way to inadvertently declare her innocence.
She reposts the police statement that they have,
officially arrested three people in connection with this case.
Okay, this is like the craziest thing.
The police finally come out with their own statement.
Previously, everybody's talking for the police,
saying the police have concluded that there's no foul play.
The police come out weeks later.
So in China, the police announcements always coming out in this blue navy blue poster.
That's like with a stamp of the police on there.
That's the official statement.
And that usually gives you the most credible information,
as credible as the police.
official statement is. And people thought that it was going to be about you meng long long
case. So they're like, okay, this is a long one. We see lots of words. So it must be about
you meng long's case and we're finally going to get answers. And they kind of briefly touch
about you meng long, but more so they just post three people have been detained in connection
with this case. They are being investigated. One detainee fabricated a story that you meng long
was set up by others and injured before jumping. Another detainee fabricated a story that he was
thrown off the building. And the last detainee fabricated a story that Yu Meng Long's mother was being
held under control, resulting in her not being able to comment on this case. All three of them
have been placed under compulsory legal measures by the police. This is, this is like it. That's it.
All they write about Yu Meng Long is after Yu Meng Long's accidental fall from the building
while intoxicated. Police immediately investigated through scene inspection, forensic examinations,
interviews, and reviewing of the surveillance footage, criminal suspicion,
has been ruled out. The investigation results were shared with the family who have raised no objections.
You Meng Long's mother has also issued a statement through the studio's official Waybo account.
We're going to get more on this mother's statement later on, but people are just saying,
I mean, it does not take that many neuropathways to figure out that this statement is not going
to be received well. Within an hour or so, there are almost a hundred thousand comments left
under the official post, but only like eight of them were viewable to the public.
Wow.
People have gone to repost it, and a lot of those comments read,
you should spend less time on social media and more time investigating crimes.
What should I pay attention to if my friend invites me to a dinner party at their apartment in Beijing?
Hey, so you guys saw nothing on the fifth floor?
No stairs, no elevator, no surveillance cameras, like, are we seeing anything?
Other people comment, there is never any sort of drinking party, only other types of parties.
But what's crazy about this is Tien Hiron, repost,
the photo of the police bulletin that they had posted on Waybo.
So you've got two posts.
You've got the police's original Weibo posts of this bulletin board.
She reposts that picture.
And people are looking at them too, side by side, and they go, that's really strange.
Because on the corner of the police post, on the corner, bottom, you see their Weibo handle,
like Beijing, Chaiang Police.
Then you go to her picture, and you see, on the corner, her username for Weibo.
but it's not a bunch of jumbled words
it's not her username on top
of the police username
which means
she must have had the original bulletin
she must have had an original copy
of what they were going to post
this is crazy because the police
don't just give that out to people
police don't really go out of their way
to give their statements and official postings
to people for fun
FOIAs FOIAs FOIAs
or not really a thing in China
so how could she get that if she doesn't have
some sort of power over the police
there's some sort of connection with the police officers,
especially when you consider a reporter called the police
just before this official statement was posted,
asking for an update on the case,
just a status update.
The police straight up tell them,
look, if you're not directly related to you Meng Long
or you Meng Long's family,
I cannot disclose anything about this case.
Just wait for the official announcement like everybody else.
So why doesn't Tian Hiron just wait for the official announcement like everybody else
and just repost it with their handle on this side
just like everybody else?
It doesn't make any sense, especially when you consider that doesn't get censored,
but all these different bloggers who are reposting leaked information or even journalists sharing
what their sources have told them, their accounts are getting restricted or banned on social media.
Fishermen on Weibo, Little Red Book, Dauing, they've all been banned.
A lot of them have been deleted.
Fishermen are coming out and saying, I'm trying to make a living, selling fish.
I go out into the deep ocean, deep sea fishing, I come back, I make little doings, I make little
TikToks to bring people to my dried fish store on TikTok shop.
And I have been banned.
I've been suspended because Yu means fish.
And so people trying to get around the censorship instead of saying Yu Meng Long, they've been
calling him little fish.
And they have just started banning people that have little fish or fish too often in their
freaking live stream or their videos.
they just start banning all of them.
Even people who are, they're not even fishing.
People who are selling fishing hooks, fishing lines, fishing equipment,
fishing boat tour companies, all of them are getting suspended.
And they're getting very frustrated.
And then that inadvertently would trigger a deletion of accounts that would use other words.
So once all the fish accounts are getting banned,
people are coming forward and fishermen are very upset and they're losing their livelihood.
a lot of people have started calling him something else.
They're like, okay, let's try to find a different word that we could use
and one that wouldn't affect too many people.
One of the easiest ones was Yu Meng Lung's fan base originally called themselves lemons.
And people are like, okay, well, lemons, there's not really lemon sellers.
Like you don't really, you just go to the market and you buy a lemon.
You're not going to have someone that's like, let me show you how I pick my lemons and
I'm going to sell you my lemons online.
I mean, I'm sure there's some lemon related businesses, but it's not going to be as vast
as the fisherman.
Lemon gets banned.
Selling umbrellas gets banned because that is...
Yu is rain.
Also means rain.
Yeah.
Um,
Meng Leng Lung means hazy.
So a lot of people have been describing him as this whole situation as hazy, as rain, as foggy.
A lot of celebrities even that were close with you Meng Lung, they're not allowed to talk out.
And I don't think anyone wants them to because,
look at what's happening. It's so scary out there. So of course, no one wants their favorite
celebrity to say anything and get themselves in a very dangerous position. But a lot of celebrities
that were close with you, Meng Long, have gone to post pictures of like foggy skies when it's raining
or hazy mornings and they'll just write, what a hazy morning. And it's kind of their way of
drawing attention to it saying like, I see it. I also am grieving, but I can't say anything. So it's
just been people have been banning selling umbrellas lemons fish catching fish it said that if you
are doing any of those or saying any of those words even if you're not talking about you meng long
if you're going at the fish market and you're talking about the different types of seafood that
they're selling there it's likely that your live stream is going to lose internet connection
one netizen jokes but not really it's depressing they say yeah soon enough they're probably going to
even banned selling fish at the market at this rate. A lot of Chinese people actually have a term
for all of this and they say it's a serpent eating its own tail. And that's how a lot of times
censorship has been described. And like I do want to say, I think we're lucky to live in the U.S.
where censorship is maybe not as obvious of a problem, but censorship exists everywhere. Like
even in the U.S. Like there's no such thing as I don't think there's any country that does not have
censorship to any varying degree, but they say that when censorship gets really bad, it's a
serpent eating its own tail. Because something is getting censored, naturally it causes everyone to
wonder, why the hell is this getting censored, which then leads to a bigger conversation of the
intent of the censorship, the conspiracy theories, the dark, different allegations and suspicious
points, which again could not be true, could be absolutely true, we don't know, but this cycle starts
and the conspiracies get darker and bigger.
And then that conspiracy getting censored
almost adds credibility to the conspiracy
and it's a serpent eating its own tail.
And it's like this vicious cycle
of just we don't know what's true
and everyone just gets hurt in the process.
And it's not even like the government
really benefits either.
And it instills a lot of fear in citizens.
I think the reason that people are very upset about this case
is I think there are lots of people
who just love you Meng Long
and I think there's a lot of people who just don't like injustice,
but there's also this extreme fear in citizens of
if even this celebrity Yumen Long's death can be covered up, so to speak,
what about literally every other citizen
who does not have 25, 26 million followers who care about their well-being?
Who cares about them?
One comment reads,
If it truly were just an accident,
why such heavy-handed censorship?
I just don't get it.
And on that note, I'm going to go through some of the rapid-fire conspiracies
that do get a little bit more off the beaten path.
These are conspiracies that I probably don't see
as frequently connected to any other case.
I think that there were times where I would get into
going down the rabbit hole for these theories
and then I would have to pull myself out
and it felt very disorienting
because while it does seem very detached from reality,
I don't even know what to believe anymore.
It's just gotten that weird.
Some accounts have taken it a little unhinged.
There are theories that because you Meng Long's birthday
coincides with the head of state that he was used as a sacrifice. People have pulled a clip of the head
of the administration in China stating that he believes that soon people will live to be 150 years old
and that has drawn a crowd of people to believe that there are ritual sacrifices being performed
for the rich and powerful. And I know it sounds crazy, but we have the same exact conspiracy theories
in the United States with child sacrifices so that the wealthy could get wealthier and that they can
have more success and all of these things.
I think it's just embedded in a lot of humans
because I guess that's just what we expect from power.
And they say that you can deceive the king of hell
and extend your lifespan
if you find someone whose horoscope matches you
and you guys have the same birthday.
The king of hell gets a little bit confused.
So they're like, oh, I guess you're already dead.
I'm not going to look for you on earth
to bring you back down here.
That person, they say, is known as the living mummy.
living until it's time for them to be sacrificed. They say that he was killed on September 10th because it coincides with the end of the blood moon. So they think that this was a sacrifice for the head of the administration. Again, it sounds like a very crazy theory. I think we've had similar theories happen in the United States. There's no way for me to even give you any sort of concrete evidence for this type of theory. I don't know. Then there is the 798 cube art museum that comes into question a lot.
two weeks after you Meng Long's passing, it was recorded that someone had logged
onto his Weibo account, and the amount of posts that he had on his Weibo went down.
So two weeks after he passes away, someone just deletes one, like, thread of photos?
That's weird. Which ones? And so people start going cross-referencing, they start looking,
and they find it's three photos that are connected to You Meng Long visiting what appears to be a
museum. It looks like, um, it actually kind of looks like he's in a rug,
store. If you look at these three photos, it's him kind of laying down or posing in front of
it looks like red rugs that are hung about and there's like rugs stacked on top of each other.
It looks very artsy. At one point you see some sort of silver chains on the side. It looks
kind of industrial. Maybe it looks like a rug making factory. But interestingly enough,
these are the photos that disappears. Like what's in these photos that's even weird?
They try to trace the timeline of when those photos were posted. And it coincides with when
Yumen Long had gone and visited this museum called the 798 Museum.
So now netizens want to know, what the hell is the 798 Museum in Beijing?
What's going on in that museum?
And why would someone want to delete pictures that he took inside that museum?
They're not even controversial pictures.
They're like modeling shots.
They're like celebrity selfies.
Like it doesn't make any sense.
People find one review because it was very hard to find what's going on inside that museum.
Like people were saying, oh, we think this is what was happening in that museum.
but it was definitively like some people were saying
no I think that's a different museum
there was lots of back and forth of like I don't think that's a museum
I think that's a fake picture I think that's AI generated
September 6 somebody does review an exhibition
from the website of the art museum
see that's another thing people are trying to track down
which exhibit he went to and like why they would delete it
because art museums have different exhibits
yeah it changes all the time yes so if they don't find the exact one
that he had went to then like it might not mean anything
so they're like trying to find the meaning of this exhibit
Like, what is this exhibit?
So they find one from September 6th, which was still the exhibit that was in operation when he had gone.
And they say, this reviewer says, location is great, parking is great, transportation is great.
Ticket is cheap, I highly recommend.
And the photos that the user posts are literally just torture scenes of human bodies.
They're not real human bodies, so we think, right?
I mean, so I think.
But there are some people who think they are.
I don't know.
It is just like gruesome, looks like horror.
movie, there is one where it just looks like a man's face has just blown apart. And they look
very graphic and they look, they look real and they don't look real. They look real in the sense
of if I saw that in a movie, it would look very believable. I would say, whoa, that does not
look super fake. It doesn't look like a clay figurine. It doesn't look like bad CGI. But they don't
look real in the sense of if these are real, the decomposition wouldn't make sense unless they're
preserve somehow. So it's like this very weird
I know some people are saying
these are real humans but they would have to
preserve the human. It's just
overall it's a weird
exhibit but
art is subjective I guess
but more than that
the organizer for this very
gory very bloody exhibit
is Ji Guanguang's
husband. The
owner of the apartment
his husband is the
one that runs this exhibit.
The guy in the black shirt.
Holding Ji Guanguang's hand.
People wanted to make sure.
Like, are we sure, though, that this is the exhibit that he went to?
They cross-reference photos from this user,
and they cross-reference the photos that were deleted on Weibo.
And it's pretty clear that that is the exhibit that he visited.
Yul Meng Lung did not post any of the gory exhibit,
but he posted next to it where there are rugs being hung about.
There's these, like, chains that are being hung about.
he posted there and so why would they delete that and why does it seem like there's not that much
information about this specific exhibit online for people to see because isn't that the whole point
of having an art museum you want everyone to know about this exhibit you want to do press tours you
want to do press releases articles you want curators to come into your exhibit and write about it
and there's just like nothing that doesn't make sense guess who also is pictured frequently
visiting this museum uh they're right here
Yes, red hair director.
Now, allegedly on the museum's website, this is an allegation, this could be photoshopped, I can't tell you, but it was alleged that before this was taken down, it was announced that Yu Meng Long was supposed to have a show at this museum, an exhibit at this museum, like a collaborative exhibit, from September 6th to September 12th.
So like, right when that one ends, he's going to have his exhibit, but after his passing, they removed everything about it is what people are saying.
I don't know. I don't know if people who had gone to that exhibit would come out. I don't know if he would have fans that went because these are his fans who support him. And then they would feel inclined to come out. So I don't know if any of this is true. But there is a rumor that it was called unfinished borders, which people are now definitely reading into it, wondering if people were thinking that his life and exhibit were going to be unfinished. That part, I don't know. But it does, there is a connection between Ji Guang Gong's husband, it seems, to the exhibit.
and those pictures being deleted.
There's another piece in the museum.
This museum has been a huge topic of discussion.
There's another piece in the museum.
It's an old raggedy jacket
that looks like it's been rolled around in dirt.
Maybe there's blood on there.
It just looks like it's been soiled.
This jacket is just hanging on the brick wall of the exhibit
and Yumen Long was pictured, allegedly spotted,
wearing a similar looking jacket at the airport before.
Some people are saying this art museum feels like a bunch of rich people
sick, rich people who probably are into gore
who like these very bad, nasty things
and they are almost incorporating real-life victimization
and this museum altogether in one piece
so blatantly in front of everyone
and they might get off on that aspect as well.
They're saying, what if Yumeng Long was tortured in this jacket
and then they hung it up in the museum
because they get off on it because why not?
People are wondering if this is just like a rape museum of all the artifacts and product of them essaying and their sick sexual fantasies.
That's what people are saying online.
I can't tell you if any of this is true.
I will say the jacket does look similar.
But that jacket could be just like a, I don't know, a unique lo jacket, a target jacket, like a jacket that everybody wears.
I don't know.
Like hanging a jacket is like what kind of art is that even so weird.
everything's so weird there.
Then come the, oh, there's even more about the museum, by the way.
There are, there's like this conveyor belt that people have been posting online.
And again, I haven't physically been there.
And like, I'm just getting so cautious about AI generated content.
So I can't tell you definitively if this is even a picture of the museum.
But they say, you know how you go to a dry cleaner?
And they have that conveyor belt where they hang the shirts and they push the button and it just rolls.
it seems like instead of shirts hanging, it's like skin suits hanging.
It looks like someone just rips skinned someone's torso
and then hung them on this conveyor belt
and it just keeps moving around and around.
And the skin looks very realistic.
A lot of medical professionals allegedly have been posting online like,
hey, so I work in the medical field.
I'm in a research lab and I'm just going to tell you,
it's a very good artist or it's something else.
So that's what a lot of people have been saying.
but overall, they're saying this museum is creepy.
Another one is, there was this one exhibit,
a picture going around of an alleged exhibit,
where there are just so many shoes.
It's not a pair of shoes.
Just imagine if you were to just buy one shoe of every pair
and fill an entire massive grand ballroom with it.
And then each shoe is tied to a red string
and they all go up into the ceiling at one focal point
and it's like this mammoth-sized red string shoe.
It's very eerie because of how much string there is.
You can't even see through the string.
And then also it's eerie because you're human and you're like,
why is there only one shoe?
Why isn't a pair of shoes?
Whose shoes are these?
Where did you get these shoes?
The shoes look lived in.
They look like people wore these shoes for a very long time.
So whose shoes are these?
People are pointing to one specific shoe, which they believe they are alleging,
this is a conspiracy theory, that that is Kimi's shoe.
They said that he wore shoes like this very often and they think that that is his.
and like we said, the red-haired director was always seen at this museum, and he was seemingly
obsessed with Kimi. Additionally, a lot of people think that Kimi's alleged photo from his funeral
many years ago, they think that he was mutilated and tortured to death. That is a conspiracy theory
online. They think that it does not appear like he, his body is intact. His family did come
out years ago to say, that's not true. Our son was very depressed. I don't know.
why people don't want to accept that he was depressed and he self-exited. We didn't want to see his
hands. That's why it looks like he has no arms because we asked them to put his hands into the
flowers in the casket because they were just bloated and engorged and we didn't like the way that
they looked and it was bothering us. And that's why it looks like that. People don't believe that
to this day. They think that his casket photos are unnerving. They say that it doesn't look like
he really even has a torso. It looks like he's almost been stuffed with like a cardboard
cut out of something to make it seem like his shirt is in place. But again, these are conspiracy
theories. And then come the tunnel theories. I feel like every case once the conspiracies start
getting a life of its own, there must always be tunnel theories. I know with the Sean Combs case,
there was tunnel theories between the tunnel of the Playboy Mansion and his house and everything
is always a tunnel. It comes back to a tunnel. But they say,
that the museum is connected with an underground tunnel to a very big hotel, the bulgari
hotel, the same one that the red-haired director and Tian Hiron had dinner in that night.
They say there is a tunnel, an underground tunnel, so that they can transport him from the hotel
to the museum and however they please.
I will say when you look at the map, they do seem like in some sort of perpendicular parallel
line, but again, cities are built on perpendicular parallel lines, so it's not necessarily
the most alarming thing, but I don't know.
The Bulgary Hotel has been more or less canceled in Beijing, China right now.
There were a few videos that came out from people who claimed to have been in that hotel
during that time of, well, a little bit before Yul Meng Long's passing.
And they say that it was weird because you checked into this five-star hotel, one of the
alleged reviewers, and they were in the hallway.
They hear screaming.
They hear all sorts of things.
It sounds like someone is getting tortured.
And there's like little red droplets.
in the hallway floor.
Why?
They zoom in on it.
It looks like blood.
So people are saying that sounds like the people who were allegedly with you meng long.
That seems to be connected.
Then another person posts another video allegedly at the Bulgary Hotel.
But they don't even say that it was at the Bulgary Hotel.
They say this is leaked torture video and audio of Yum Meng Long's passing.
And you just hear people screaming like spit it out, spit it out, hurry and spit it out.
And this is how the USB theory comes about.
of he swallowed a USB and they're trying to get him to spit it out so that he won't have that
evidence. But they're just filming the floor of what looks like a hotel floor. The tile is
extravagant and the tile is oddly specific. It's an eight point star. So instead of just like a
regular star, it has eight different legs on the star. People are like, that is such a specific design.
And they start looking into it and that is one of the trademark designs of the Bulgari Hotel
chains. They love an eight-point star. And that is how the Bulgari Hotel, the museum, they all become
points of captivity in this theory of what happened to you Meng Long, as well as the residential
building. Most of the 17 people have denied any sort of involvement. I just went through the core
group of people, but all the other ones, there's not as strong evidence tying them to, these are the
main ones that people are focused on. They have denied any sort of involvement. Some of them have come out
to say, they don't even know you Meng Long, to which netizens are now, I don't want to say they're
making jokes, but they're sarcastically asking all these people, oh, nobody knows him. Then whose house
did he go to for the dinner? Who was at the dinner with him if nobody knows him? Other netizens are saying,
fine, I guess we were the ones at the dinner party then, because nobody else was. One netizens says,
wait, nobody knows Yu Meng Long but us? Only netizens know Yumang Long. Friends of Yumang Long have also
come out and they're just providing character statements almost for Yumang Long. People just want
someone to be transparent and someone maybe is. September 12th, the day after you Meng Long's passing,
someone claiming to be Yu Meng Long's cousin comes out on Little Red Note to release a statement
that very quickly gets banned but it reads, I'm Long Long's cousin. I'm Long Long's cousin.
Long Long is Yumeng Long's nickname.
Right now, Auntie, Long Long's mom, and several other relatives are in Beijing,
keeping watch over Long Long's body and waiting for the police's final investigation results.
The autopsy results haven't come out yet.
Auntie and the other family members landed in Beijing late in the night of the 11th,
and the family is mainly focused on taking care of Auntie, so please don't worry.
And he goes on to list a few very strange things.
First of all, nobody alerted the family.
This is what the so-called cousin allegedly claims.
one alerted the family that you Meng Long passed. They found out through social media just like
everybody else on Waybo. The cousin claims a few things in this post that are alarming. The police said
that it was an accidental fall. According to them, what happened was pretty much what the media
reported. So he's saying like the police haven't given any of our family members, any additional
information. They say that they were drinking at the friend's house until around 4 a.m.
and then Long Long went into the bedroom, locked himself in the bedroom.
And then at around 6 a.m., two hours later, the dinner party guests, they decide to leave
and they go downstairs and they discover that he had fallen.
And a neighbor walking her dog also discovers that he had fallen and the police are called to the scene.
Police take statements of everybody there and everybody said that they were very close friends of Long Long.
But this cousin is saying, I mean, I have talked to other people in this agency that I believe
were close to Long Long and they have told us specifically, the family specifically,
that Long Long doesn't even know these people that well.
Like, he's not friends with these people.
He doesn't even know them like that.
He just went because his manager asked him too.
He also goes on to state that a few very strange things have happened.
Long Long left his phone on the living room sofa.
So he goes and he locks himself in this guest bedroom of a person he doesn't even really know.
Because again, they're like, we don't even know that he knows these people.
But he's going to sleep over at their house after getting wasted.
It doesn't make any sense.
And then he's going to leave his phone on the living.
room sofa and then go into the bedroom by himself. He also states that there were footprints
on the windowsill where he fell. There were dust on the screen window that was found underneath
his fingernails. There were marks of his feet scraping the screen window downstairs. He says that
police spoke to the neighbors and all they know is that there were like three bottles of liquor
and three bottles of beer that were drunk, but there were no signs of drug use. Like there was
security cameras in the hallway captured everyone going upstairs, but nothing else. But
nothing else. They didn't capture the fall. They just happened to be not working that day.
That's what the cousin, the alleged cousin, claims. The cousin also claims to say that statement
that was released by Long Long's dissolved agency, that was written by the police and posted
at the police station. He's saying, this is weird. Like, it just doesn't make any sense.
He's saying, like, we're not really learning anything. And after arriving, police asked for the
entire family members, mobile and we chat number.
and the hotel that the family had to stay at,
they couldn't even book it themselves.
They were like, no, the talent agency must book the hotel for the entire family,
and we need to know which hotel,
and we need to know which rooms you guys are staying,
and just so we can coordinate better if we need to reach you.
But he's just saying it feels kind of weird.
Additionally, he alleges that Yul Meng Lung's apartment where he lived in,
family members aren't allowed in,
which if this is a drunken fall, it's not a crime.
Why can't they go into his apartment?
It's not taped off.
It's not a crime scene.
He ends the post with,
I understand a lot of this is necessary for the investigation
and handling to control the media attention,
but there are still so many things that I just really cannot understand.
Initially, people believe that this is not you Meng Long's cousin,
that this is some random liar on the internet.
But the cousin, alleged cousin,
goes on to post a family photo which includes Yu Meng Long in there.
And back in 2011,
Yu Meng Long's account posted a comment under the cousin's page.
So this is pretty much valid.
It is the cousin.
Yeah.
And then later, he goes on to post once more.
The police came looking for me.
Four of them.
Two cops, two detectives showed up.
I'm not going to be updating this any further.
So if you guys are looking for updates, you guys can just unfollow me.
Then another later post.
Yumeneng Long's mother and relatives of Yumeneng Long have all left Beijing.
I'm not going to post anything more.
So just unfollow me.
Then the account gets deleted.
Remember in the last episode, a lot of, in the last episode, a lot of people were upset that
this dissolved studio was the one to announce that the police ruled out any foul play,
and they officially announced that Yu Meng Long had passed.
This dissolved studio that nobody knows who's even really controlling,
maybe the police, like the cousin alleges, maybe somebody else,
even more suspiciously, though, September 16th, 20205,
so this is five days after Yu Meng Long's passing.
The same studio releases another statement.
This time they claim that it's Yu Meng Long's mother that wants this statement out in the world,
that she was like, can you please post this for me?
because, no, I don't have social media, and I just want this out there.
This is her alleged note to the public.
In the recent days, I have suffered enormous pain.
My beloved son, Yu Meng Long, accidentally fell to his death after drinking, leaving us forever.
This sudden tragedy has plunged us into deep grief.
Police have informed me of their investigation results, and all arrangements have been completed.
I hope everyone will look at this accident rationally and stop making guesses.
I also hope to return to a peaceful life as soon.
as possible, carrying my memories of Yu Meng Long and living each day as best as I can.
I believe this to be Yu Meng Long's wish.
Netizens do not believe this statement to be real at all.
Chief among those reasons, they don't think this is a mother who could write such a formal
official sounding statement so soon after her son's passing, and even if she did believe
that her son's passing was an accident, there's no celebration of his life.
There are no kind words to her beloved son.
There's no personal touch.
The rumors are harmful.
Stop asking questions.
Move on.
That's the theme of her message
after her son passes away.
It just doesn't make sense.
And he's only spoken fondly
and kindly of his mom.
It doesn't seem like they had bad relations at all.
It seems as if the entire message is
stop asking questions.
Don't investigate.
Let's end it here.
Which is interesting because another letter
starts circulating.
And people believe this to be
Yumen Long's mother writing this letter.
There is a red thumbprint, so it's like a signed letter.
And again, this could be anybody's thumbprint, who's to say this is you Meng Long's
thumbprint.
But you tell me which one sounds more like his mother.
To all the kind-hearted and righteous people from all walks of life, I am Yu Meng
Long's mother.
In this moment with heart-wrenching grief, I am telling you the truth about my child's
tragic misfortune, only hoping to seek a bit of justice from my wrongfully diseased child.
On September 11, 2025, my child left me forever.
What I can't accept is that the murderer actually lied to the world that this was an accident,
covering up this cruel crime with false statements and trying to erase my child's life.
They fabricated lies, confused the public, and attempted to escape legal punishment by relying on their power,
but they forgot that a mother's love and memory for her child will never be covered up by lies.
I have in my hands key clips before and after my child's accident.
Testimonial records of insiders.
This is sufficient to prove that my child's death was by no means an accident,
but deliberate harm.
Since my child has left us,
I have sought helps countless times,
only hoping that the murderer can be punished as he deserves
and that my child can rest in peace in heaven.
But so far, the murderer is still at large
and even tried to suppress the truth and block my demands.
I know my power is meager,
but I am unwilling to give up.
My child was once so sunny and so kind,
and he should not leave this world with any grievances,
and even less should the murderer downplay his life
with the word accident.
I earnestly implore every conscientious person if you have ever known anything before or after my child's death
and if you are willing to speak up for justice, please help me get justice so that more people can know the truth.
I also earnestly implore the relevant departments to face my demands squarely, thoroughly investigate this case,
let the evidence speak for itself, let the murderer pay for his actions, return justice for my child,
return clarity to the world. I am willing to be responsible for everywhere to.
I say, only hoping to comfort my child's spirit in heaven and let him know that his parents
have never given up seeking justice for him. I don't know which one of these is real. I don't know
if either of these are real, but if you had to choose, which one sounds real. And then there are
speculations that the mother has been detained. There are also concerns that soon if this
conversation keeps going, that the authorities are going to start sharing information that looks
badly on Yu Meng Long. There has been growing accusations, not accusations, but there has been
this alleged leak document that has been going around with the official Beijing public security
seal in the corner. And it claims that Yu Meng Long was under investigation for child molestation.
Nobody believes it. And I know that these are things that we should not cast out on. But with
everything I've told you so far, could you believe this without further proof?
What kind of person would, like, make something like this, right?
This is crazy.
I think no, I don't think there's anyone online that actually believes this.
One person just comments, it's really depressing that he tragically dies,
and then he becomes an enemy to the government overnight, but nobody knows why.
There is a video of Yumen Long where he is seen interacting with kids, and people are saying, like,
I mean, look at him.
He says in the interview, if I didn't get into the entertainment industry,
I would have become a teacher.
A lot of people have come forward to say really amazing things about him.
His former middle school teacher has come out.
He donated 2,400 textbooks to an elementary school in his hometown.
It seems like he just, a lot of people say that he likes to live in harmony with the world.
That was his energy.
He was never super extroverted.
He just seemed almost like that peaceful, wise character that's always there.
Even 10 days after his passing, there was.
a donation made to a charity. And people saw his name and they were very emotional because
it seems like he has these donations on auto pay. It seems like automatically every month
he's donating to people who need it more than he does. And as of right now, that's all we know
about Yumen Long's case. I don't know if we will ever know more. But it does seem like every
time someone suspiciously dies, the conversation seems to get bigger and it seems harder to censor it.
And the first video that we posted about you Meng Leng's passing has been age-restricted.
I don't think that it's nefarious.
I don't think it's anything related to any sort of government entity.
I think it's just the content of the story is just, it's going to be age-restricted.
So it's inadvertently suppressed in its own way.
What are your thoughts on this?
What do you think happened?
And do you think we'll ever get answers?
Let me know in the comments and be safe and I will see you in this.
the next one.
