Yu Menglong’s Parabolic Fall or A Cover-Up? Song Yiren’s Scam Exposed, Du Qiang Changes His Face?

The mysterious death of Yu Menglong is not just the tragedy of a young star. It is pulling back the curtain on a dark web that entangles both China's entertainment world and its political sphere. The place where he supposedly fell may have been nothing more than a carefully staged scene. The unnatural distance between the torn window and where his body was found, traces of image manipulation, and even the fact that his Taobao account remained active after his death, all suggest that someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes. Meanwhile, Shenlan Tianjin Company suddenly vanished, and his manager, Du Qian, also disappeared without a trace. Were they covering up the evidence? As the web of power stretches from producer Fan Li to officials in the Ministry of Public Security, the case of Yu Menglong is turning into a political artistic earthquake, where every lie is on the verge of being exposed. Let's uncover the truth behind it all. Was Yu's body swapped and the scene staged? The most widely circulated photo of Yu Menglong after his death shows him lying face down right in front of the entrance to building number 18 in the Sunshine Shandong residential complex. A pool of blood can be seen beneath him. Many believe this was the original scene of the incident, but in truth, we may have been deceived. A mainland resident once shared, I personally went inside the Sunshine Shandong complex to take a closer look. The torn window curtain faces a wide green belt, dense shrubs over a meter high, resembling large leaf boxwoods. If someone fell from that spot, they would have landed directly into the bushes, not onto the concrete platform in front of the lobby. Therefore, the photo of Yu Menglong's body lying before the lobby doesn't match the location of the window with the torn curtain. In the photo, to the left of the body, not far away, there's a concrete flower wall of the building. Beyond that, to the right, lies the green belt. From this, it can be inferred that there's a significant distance between the main lobby entrance, the sixth floor window of apartment 601, the one with the torn curtain, and the spot where Yu Menglong's body was found. So why was the place where he supposedly fell so far from where the body was discovered? Why does the supposed fall trajectory resemble a strange curved throw? Could it mean that Yu Menglong's body was moved after death, or even swapped entirely? Adding to the mystery, someone recently logged into Yu Menglong's Taobao account and even posted on Weibo. But netizens quickly questioned it. The hand in the photo didn't look like his. They also pointed out that since he had been dead for over a month, suddenly speaking up to refute rumors now seemed like a cruel joke on the public. Yet logging into Taobao requires either facial recognition or SMS verification, suggesting Yu Menglong's phone is not in his family's possession. In principle, if the police concluded his death was accidental, not a criminal case, thus no need to retain evidence, then his phone, as his personal belonging and inheritance, should have been returned to the Yu family. But if it's still in someone else's hands, could that mean there's evidence someone is trying to hide? The cover-up continues. According to Li Meiyang, the Shenlan Tianjin Film Company, Shenlan Tianjin Gongzi has completely vanished. A netizen shared that he had ordered some fishing gear online and asked the courier to deliver it to Shenlan Film Company for someone there. But the courier replied, Shenlan has already moved out. The company disappeared overnight without any explanation. But the reason, it seems, hardly needs to be said. If there was nothing shady going on, why vanish so suddenly? The founder and CEO of Shenlan is John Wei, who also served as the company's chief film producer. Her husband, Fang Li, also a film producer, is one of the key figures suspected of being involved in Yu Menglong's case. Fang Li, however, has consistently denied all rumors, claiming he was being framed and smeared. On the 25th, he authorized his lawyer to issue an official statement refuting the allegations. In that statement, Fang Li disclosed part of his schedule and travel records from September 10 to 11, claiming they prove he was nowhere near the scene of Yu Menglong's death. He said that on September 9, a colleague booked a round-trip flight from Beijing to Chongqing for the 11th. On September 10, from 3pm to 7.40pm, he was in the office for meetings. At 8.02pm, he took the elevator in his residential building to go home. The next morning, at 7.24am, he left home. At 8.21am, he boarded the plane, which departed at 9am for Chongqing. That night, he flew back to Beijing, landing at 10.40pm. Fang Li used this entire timeline to argue that he could not have been at the scene of Yu Menglong's death. But these lies didn't escape the sharp eyes of netizens. They quickly noticed that in the chat screenshots Fang Li released, there were two timestamps on one at 2.48pm and one at 6.11pm. And the two lines were misaligned, revealing that the image had been doctored. Next, let's look at the elevator surveillance stills Fang Li provided. Since the footage didn't clearly show his face, he only released two snapshots. Interestingly, in both instances, when he went up and when he went down, he was alone, implying the elevator wasn't crowded and could have been the same one. However, when the two images are compared closely, an inconsistency appears. In the first, there's a line of numbers under the timestamp. In the second, there isn't. If it were truly the same elevator, the display interface should be identical, either both with numbers or both without. What does that mean? Could he have used two different elevators? Another netizen fact Fang Li left home at 7.34am on September 11th, while the flight's boarding time was 8.21am. The original flight schedule listed 8.30am as the planned boarding time and 8.23am as the actual one. That means there were only 46 minutes from the time he left home to the time he boarded. Could Fang Li really get from his apartment building to the boarding gate in under 50 minutes? The netizen mocked him, saying that if this were true, his efficiency would be even more impressive than how Yu Menglong's studio managed to issue an official statement before their company seal was even approved. There's another detail. In the message Fang Li shared showing his Beijing Chongqing roundtrip, the colons after the words depart and return don't align. And the characters after them are also slightly off. If they came from the same message, the formatting should be perfectly symmetrical. Why the discrepancy? Could this screenshot too have been edited? The disappearance of Shen Lan Film Company might also be linked to Yu Menglong's manager, Du Qiang. Du Qiang was a senior executive at Shen Lan, but since Yu Menglong's death, he has completely vanished. No trace, no public appearance. Where did he go? According to commentator Li Mian, Du Qiang is currently staying at the Wanli Hotel, No. 8, Lane 470, Section 5, Zhongshan North Road, Shilin District, Taipei City. Rumor has it that he is preparing to undergo plastic surgery to alter his appearance. Whether this information is accurate remains unconfirmed. It will take some investigative digging from Taiwanese netizens to find out. If Du Qiang really is in Taiwan, he is likely using an alias. For someone like him, obtaining a few fake IDs would hardly be difficult. Song Yiren, another figure implicated, was accused of luring Yu Menglong to a gathering of 17 people that ultimately led to his death and even of harming his beloved dog, Fuli. Fans were outraged, not only digging into her past but also uncovering a ridiculous twist. A set of leaked screenshots showed that Song Yiren had apparently hired online commenters to whitewash her image but then failed to pay them, prompting those very people to expose her. One of these accounts had posted in the Song Yiren Super Topic in September, writing, Don't believe or spread rumors. Yi is a good person and even wishing her a happy mid-autumn festival. But by October, the same account completely turned on her, angrily posting, Didn't you say 5 posts with over 100 likes would get 5,000 yuan? Scammer. If this is true, Song Yiren's image and reputation have been seriously damaged. Meanwhile, other suspected figures have also faced consequences. Fan Shiki's career is in serious trouble. In his recent hit drama The Love's Ambition, his scenes were reportedly cut down to just 8 minutes. Promotional posters have been taken down and his name on Dubon has been pushed to the bottom. Some people say this is even harsher than being blacklisted. His face wasn't replaced or reshot but simply left there as a vague background figure no one notices. Fan Shiki's unreleased projects, such as War of Faith, are also reportedly being edited, with major plot cuts or alternate endings. His leading roles have been reduced to optional supporting parts. A concert planned in Chengdu on October 18 was cancelled for health reasons. Though rumors claim only 15 tickets had been sold and the organizers feared losing money, his brand deals and event invitations have also dropped sharply. Clearly, investors have written him off as a discarded pawn. On social media, every post Fan Shiki makes is flooded with comments from Yu Menglong's fans, many posting photos of the late actor. Some netizens remarked, I don't know if Fan Shiki was involved in Yu Menglong's case but just a few days after his friend's death, he said he was very happy. That alone shows how cold-blooded he is. Actor Gao Taiyu, real name Gao Yang, has been also named among the 17 guests at the party allegedly tied to the case. Born in 1991 in Liang, Shandong and a graduate of the Shandong Academy of Arts, he debuted in 2013 on Happy Boy and later joined Tianyu Media. Once seen as a rising star, his career had faded from view by September 2025, until the Yu Menglong case brought his name back into the spotlight. On September 14th, Gao Taiyu posted a statement on Weibo announcing his withdrawal from the entertainment industry. He denied attending any party and called the so-called list of 17 people circulating online a complete fabrication and a malicious rumor. In the post, he said he had authorized his lawyer to pursue those spreading false information and was willing to release surveillance footage to prove his innocence. The statement quickly climbed to Weibo's hot search within two hours but was soon suppressed. Searching for related keywords later returned the message, according to relevant laws and regulations, this content is temporarily unavailable. The controversy didn't end there. A few days later, Gao Taiyu suddenly went live, calling himself a friend of Yu Menglong and saying, he was a hard-working person. I'm really sad. But netizens noticed his expression was cold, his tone detached, even carrying a faint smile. As the comment section flooded with questions, were you there that night? Why did you post so early? Were you the first to know? His smile faded and he began drinking water repeatedly. Comments mocked him, tactical drinking, only nervous people drink non-stop, let's count how many cups he finishes. The live stream ended abruptly in silence. Netizens described it as a performance more dramatic than acting. The main source of controversy was that Weibo post. On September 11th, the day Yu Menglong's death was officially announced, Gao Taiyu had posted at 2.38pm, your smile will forever stay in my memory. The problem was that neither the police nor the media had released any news at that time, meaning his post came unusually early, even before the official announcement. Some users saved screenshots and commented, you were the first to post, what's going on? Gao Taiyu later deleted the post, but the screenshots spread widely. This time Gap became the focus of online suspicion. Some believed he knew beforehand, others thought it was coincidence. Gao Taiyu himself has remained silent. Beyond the suspicious timing, another detail troubled netizens. He and Yu Menglong seemed to share a private friendship. Both were once signed under Tianyu Media, appeared together on variety shows, and attended joint events. Fans even dug up a photo of them together at a 2018 event, proving they had interacted. Yet publicly, neither emphasized their relationship. So when Gao Taiyu called him my friend in the live stream, netizens questioned, if they were truly friends, why did he react so coldly to his death? Chaoyang police As mentioned earlier, Bibo, the director of the Chaoyang branch of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, is believed to be shielding the suspects. Key locations tied to Yu Menglong's case, including the Sunshine Shandong residential complex, the 798 Art District, and the Bulgari Hotel, all fall under Chaoyang District's jurisdiction. As the area's top law enforcement official, Bibo would naturally know the details, making him a central figure in the case's handling. Some online posts claim that within Beijing's police system, several officers had tried to push for an official investigation into Yu Menglong's case, but in the past few days, they were all dismissed. The case remains controlled by the district authorities, while higher-ups know but stay silent. The upward chain of reporting has been blocked, because exposing the truth would reveal corruption at its core. The post highlighted three main points. One, some police officers believe Yu Menglong's death was unjust and tried to file for an investigation. Two, top CCP officials are aware of the case, but because it involves the so-called heavenly dragons, people from the highest levels of power, they have chosen to quietly suppress it. Rumors mention possible ties to Cai Qi, Xi Yuanping, Xi Jinping's relative, and Ji Guangguang, grandson of former Premier Li Peng. Number three, Bibo is likely backed by higher-level protection. A district police chief alone couldn't bury such a high-profile case under national and international scrutiny. Suspicion now turns toward Wang Xiaohong, the minister of public security and a close ally of Xi Jinping. After Bibo and Wang Xiaohong's names surfaced together, online censorship and 50-cent army activity surged, convincing many that the case reaches the very top of China's security apparatus. Observers believe the scandal has shaken the country and spread worldwide. With netizens continuously filing petitions to China's highest legal and political bodies, the Chaoyang District authorities may no longer be able to hide the truth, no matter how hard they try.
