Audio and video recordings allegedly before Alan Yu’s death surface
The Vision Times stated that a Chinese X profile, “News Investigation” or “Investigative Journalism” (name loosely transferred from Chinese to English), shared the purported video and audio clip of Yu being cut open to remove a USB drive and the video allegedly recorded by a neighbor that apparently showed the assailant.
The voices are faint but are still slightly recognizable from the audio clip. According to The Vision Times, the assailant can be heard shouting: “Spit it out!” and “Cut open his stomach for me!” while the weakened voice of the actor and the comments of others around can also be recognized. In another clip, the attacker can be heard yelling: “Don’t mind him, he won’t die!”
In another video shared by “News Investigation,” it appeared Yu was being moved from the Bulgari Hotel to another site, the Sunshine Upper East residential complex.
Vision Times reported that by that time, Alan Yu was already exhausted, dragged along by multiple assailants. The footage also showed a woman at the back, identified as Song Yiren, can be seen holding up her phone to record. “News Investigation” said that the woman Yiren was on the party guest list.
In another video clip posted by “News Investigation,” it appeared that Yu was trying to escape in a parking lot. He was caught by actor Fan Shiqi. The post allegedly showed that Fan brutally beat Yu before dragging him into a car. According to Vision Times, the incident is believed to have occurred before Yu was pushed from the building for the first time.
