After this case occurred, the reason the Huai City police reported it to the province immediately was due to a nearly identical case that took place last summer.
Zhao Feifei, a 23-year-old recent graduate from Huai City University, was from Tong County in Hunan province. Her parents were back in her hometown and their financial condition was very poor. Zhao Feifei was of average appearance, cheerful in character. After graduation, she hadn't found full-time employment and was working part-time in a milk tea shop.
Like Liu Yisha, Zhao Feifei was also renting a place in the nearby "slum". The straight-line distance between their residences was not exceeding 2 kilometers.
On the summer night when Zhao Feifei disappeared, she was returning from a night shift at the milk tea shop. The location of her work was so far away that it was already past midnight when she got off the bus. She needed to walk around 1.5 kilometers to get home.
