“Apartment 601: From Death Scene to ‘Cleansed’ with 20 Tons of Water — Who Is Living in the Cursed Room Now?”

Yu Menglong’s death in September 2025 left countless unanswered questions, but none haunt the public more than what happened immediately afterward: 20 tons of water were dumped into room 601 — the apartment believed to be where Yu Menglong had been or visited before falling from a high floor. The volume — equivalent to a medium-sized swimming pool — was pumped continuously in a short time, causing water to overflow hallways, seep to lower levels, and force temporary evacuation of residents. Witnesses claim the operation began just hours after the body was discovered.

The official tenant, Jiguangguang, disappeared entirely right after the incident. There was no moving-out notice, no trace on social media, and according to some reports, even his lease was “handled” in mysterious fashion. Within a month, a completely new person had moved into room 601. Described as extremely private, rarely seen during peak hours, and having no interaction with neighbors, the newcomer raises the question: do they know they are living in a former death scene that was “cleansed” with an unnaturally massive amount of water?

Crime-scene specialists point out that flooding a location with such volume would heavily contaminate trace evidence: DNA, fibers, shoe prints, or even distinctive dust particles. This is especially suspicious when paired with other case details: injuries on Yu Menglong’s body inconsistent with a simple fall, rumors of an electronic tracking device, and witness accounts of screams coming from the apartment beforehand. The rapid deletion of building security footage and swift censorship of any online discussion about room 601 further reinforce suspicions of an organized cover-up.

Public opinion across the Taiwan Strait and internationally is demanding answers: Why 20 tons of water when no official report mentions flooding or a plumbing failure? Was this standard “decontamination” protocol by investigators, or a deliberate act to destroy evidence? And most importantly: does the current tenant have any connection to the case, or are they unwittingly living in a cursed apartment?

The room 601 incident has far outgrown Yu Menglong’s personal tragedy — it now stands as vivid proof of the fear surrounding transparency in high-profile cases in China. More than 150,000 petition signatures for reinvestigation continue to grow, but the silence from authorities and building management deepens public unease. That flood may have washed away many things, but it could not drown the central question: where did the truth really go, and who is trying so hard to keep it buried at the bottom?
