No prosecution for no evidence of murder, Taiwan's 500 million high school student death case declared closed: Prosecutors have identified fake marriage witnesses | both parties | high school students
According to China Times News on June 21st, the sensational case of 500 million wealthy high school students falling to death in Taiwan has been announced as closed today. The prosecution believes that the father and son surnamed Xia have insufficient evidence to suspect murder, and therefore will not prosecute for the crime of murder. At the same time, the prosecution also determined that the deceased Lai and Xia had no real intention of marriage, and the two parties were falsely married.
Data chart: Lai's mother sues
In April this year, Taiwan's senior high school boy Lai's father passed away, and as a result, Lai received 30 properties from his father, with a market value of up to NT $500 million.
On May 4th, Lai and Xia, the male assistant who handled the inheritance, registered their marriage, and two hours later, he fell from a building and died.
An 18-year-old high school student registered for marriage at 9 o'clock and died from a fall from a building at 11 o'clock. The case is bizarre and has attracted public attention. After Lai's death, Lai's mother believed that her son had suffered financial harm and accused him of murder. Among them, Xia, the same-sex spouse who obtained a certificate with Lai, is considered a suspect.

According to reports, today the prosecutor's office released a 3000 word long article explaining various suspicious points in recent days.
The prosecution believes that after investigation, there is no evidence of the deceased Lai being beaten or taking toxic drugs before falling from a building, and there was no physical contact between the two parties before the incident. Lai meets the characteristics of a "high-altitude fall".
In addition, through analysis of communication records, driving records, etc., the prosecutor believes that there is almost no intersection between Lai and Xia. According to Lai's high school tutoring records, Lai was once rejected for pursuing a female classmate in the same class and had emotional distress receiving tutoring.
At the same time, the prosecutor also found that the witnesses at the time of their marriage were randomly selected, and the witnesses were not clear about who got married. The parents of both parties were also unaware of the marriage, so it was determined that Lai and Xia had no true intention of same-sex marriage.
According to previous media reports, if the prosecution determines that the two are engaged in fake marriage, Xia may be charged with forging documents and is unlikely to inherit Lai's rich inheritance.
