I can't help but wonder if this 蹊跷 is a clue because Li tanzheng suddenly twigged after saying that. Sure it means strange or fishy, but the breakdown is footpath and raising one's foot. Maybe the young guy was framed and made to look like he did it by using his feet to make footprints after gassing him in the cellar. Perhaps this was the son who's grown up a bit and the guy in the cellar really was a tb.

蹊...on foot, tying a person by rope and leading them by hand

跷...on foot, mound of dirt higher than a man. the phonetic can also be pronounced yao...is this a hint at 钥匙？

ok, the blackening out isn't showing up on the community page again. Blacked out for the same reasons as above. Another grisly explanation, but hey, it's a grisly case.

A theory which explains the bone exposure:

perhaps the young guy is pale because he has leukaemia [perhaps he initially had it the first 5 years of his life which were spent in hospital and thus he missed his birthdays and now he's had a relapse] and the laogong is a suitable donor for bone marrow transplant but refused to donate. The recent "disappearance" was because he had been in hospital [mum had rushed him there while dad was at work and hadn't contacted him to let him know]. He'd just gotten discharged home but things were getting desperate with the need for bone transplant. Mum went crazy trying to get the laogong to agree and it escalated into full scale domestic violence and the laogong stabbed the wife and then the son stabbed the him and then tried to take the bone marrow [thus explaining the exposed bones], but he was suddenly filled with grief and took his dead mother down to the cellar where he gassed himself.

you could make up a whole story relating to his gambling debts and someone coming to collect ....once again he may have concealed something internally there.

I might add that while I've blacked it out for possible spoilers, I am nowhere near satisfied with my hypothesis. Zaogao, outdone by Li tanzheng yet again !

Ok, this is a bit grisly, but here's my first impression, blacked out [rollover if you want to put our heads together] to avoid possible spoilers and also because it's a bit grisly:

It would be great to have a better idea of time frames here. I think the young 20y.o. guy is the laopo's son [perhaps from her 暗娼 days...perhaps thus the step son of the middle aged guy]. Perhaps he's hidden away [?in the cellar] for shame and that's why he's pale. He may have been 5 years old 15 years ago [thus the need to ask aiyi when that was with the 5 birthday cards]. He recently escaped his cellar and made a runner for it with his mum. Somehow the laogong got his wife back to room 203 and the domestic violence escalated to the point he stabbed her several times before the son could come in and avenge his mother wresting the knife [usually used on the fruit boxes] away and using the same knife. The older guy had swallowed the key and thats why the young guy cut him open to retrieve it. He then dragged his mothers body down to the cellar [it was kind of the only home he knew] to be with him while he gassed himself.

great topic. What about frog poultices for wounds, are they still used? Also, I once heard from a couple of sources that swallowing mice embryo's was considered curative of asthma. Is that treatment still used?
