Shi Xiuju: Statement on the Lack of Response to the Second Mailing of a Complaint to the Central Inspection Team, and Materials Concerning the Criminal Complaint Regarding Shi Xiuju’s Intentional Injury and the Placement of Hazardous Substances (Cadmium, Arsenic and Thallium), as well as Procedural Violations and Party-discipline Violations by Public Security Organs — Request for the Central Inspection Team to Place the Case Under Supervision
The complainant separately mailed materials concerning criminal and disciplinary complaints to your team by EMS express delivery on April 27, 2026, and May 30, 2026. To date, she has not received the result of any department’s handling. According to the inspection team’s working requirements of “closed-loop management, a reply to every matter, and a response to every issue,” the complainant should have received a clear response. However, during this period, the public security organs have responded perfunctorily and protected their own people, while the Central Inspection Team has also failed to respond. The complainant now requests that the inspection team investigate the above circumstances and requests that accountability procedures be initiated against relevant personnel of the former employing unit. The facts of the case and the requests in the complaint are set out in full below:

Basic facts of the case and serious consequences of harm
(I) Course of treatment and occurrence of poisoning (retaliation)
From December 11, 2019, through April 2020, the complainant received dental crown restoration treatment at Xi’an Zhongnuo Dental Hospital. During the treatment:
1. First stage: The hospital’s doctor Guo Juanni performed an operation in violation of regulations, causing irreversible damage to two of the complainant’s healthy teeth;
2. Second stage: Doctor Ma Lu took over the treatment and, during the diagnosis and treatment process, illegally used an unidentified preparation containing toxic and hazardous heavy metals, including cadmium, arsenic and thallium.
About one hour after the hazardous substance was administered, the complainant suddenly developed an acute, severe toxic reaction, experiencing the following symptoms and nearly dying of suffocation several times:
A mouth full of foam and an intense burning sensation in the mouth (like sulfuric-acid corrosion)
Rapid gum recession, severe oral ulcers and acute periapical periodontitis
Acute pharyngitis, severe congestion of the larynx, and esophageal swelling and narrowing
Soreness, stinging and tearing in both eyes, and a sharp decline in vision
Esophagitis, acute gastric-mucosal lesions and thyroiditis
Acute kidney damage, sudden severe hair loss, and disordered and unstable blood pressure
(II) Lifelong irreversible aftereffects
After diagnoses at multiple top-tier tertiary hospitals, the toxic substance exposure caused the complainant the following serious, lifelong and irreversible aftereffects:
Serial number Aftereffect
1 Generalized severe hair and body-hair loss, with hair loss reaching 60%,
2 Damage to the optic nerves of both eyes, with vision severely reduced to 0.6, close to blindness
3 Persistent severe neurogenic tinnitus
4 Permanent gum recession and extensive exposure of the tooth roots
5 Abnormal melanin deposition throughout the body and impaired metabolic detoxification
6 Gastric-antrum erosion and chronic gastric lesions that persist over the long term
7 Nephritic syndrome and permanent substantive damage to the renal tubules
8 Cysts in the liver and both kidneys, and a cyst in the right ankle joint
9 Systemic microcirculatory impairment, impaired blood circulation in the limbs and numbness in the limbs
10 Long-term uncontrolled fluctuations in blood pressure and prominent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risks
11 Lesion in the right arm, diagnosed as a chondroma
Criminal complaint: Ma Lu and Guo Juanni suspected of criminal offenses
(I) Ma Lu suspected of the crime of placing hazardous substances and the crime of intentional injury
1. Placement of hazardous substances: During the diagnosis and treatment process, Ma Lu illegally used an unidentified preparation containing toxic and hazardous heavy metals, including cadmium, arsenic and thallium. This conduct directly caused the complainant’s acute poisoning and lifelong irreversible injuries.
2. Intentional injury: According to relevant provisions of the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China and judicial practice, the crime of medical malpractice is an offense of negligence, requiring medical personnel to cause a patient’s injury or death through serious dereliction of duty. If medical personnel know that their conduct may cause a person’s death, injury or disability but nevertheless allow the consequences to occur, this exceeds the scope of negligence, and criminal liability should be pursued for an intentional offense.
3. Relevant case: In the Liu Xiangfeng case, the court did not characterize his malicious surgeries as medical malpractice, but convicted him of intentional injury, making clear that the essence of his conduct was using his professional identity to commit personal harm. Ma Lu’s conduct in this case is highly similar and should be determined by reference to that case.
(II) Guo Juanni suspected of the crime of medical malpractice or the crime of negligently causing serious injury
Guo Juanni’s operation in violation of regulations caused irreversible damage to two of the complainant’s healthy teeth, and she is suspected of the crime of medical malpractice or the crime of negligently causing serious injury.
(III) Legal analysis concerning toxic and hazardous medical materials with “three no’s”
1. Criteria for identifying “three-no” products: According to the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Medical Devices, the Drug Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China and other relevant regulations, “three-no” medical materials refers to products with no production date, no quality certificate and no manufacturer’s name or address.
2. Heavy-metal limits: According to relevant national standards for dentistry, if the content of harmful elements such as cadmium, arsenic and thallium in metal materials exceeds the national limit, the materials constitute “health materials and medical devices that do not comply with national standards.”
(IV) Criminal liability for falsifying medical records
As medical records are important evidence with legal effect, any concealment, falsification, alteration or unauthorized destruction of medical records may, in serious cases, result in criminal liability. If the falsification or alteration of medical records constitutes the crime of perjury (Article 305 of the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China) or obstructs judicial activity, the responsible persons may receive a maximum sentence of seven years’ imprisonment.
Facts concerning procedural violations and violations of Party discipline by public security organs:
In this case, the conduct of the three levels of public security organs (Daming Palace Police Station → Weiyang Branch → Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department) was interconnected, jointly forming a complete chain of procedural violations from the beginning to the end of the case. This seriously infringed the complainant’s lawful rights and interests and undermined judicial fairness.
(I) Daming Palace Police Station: the starting point of the procedural violations
1. Serious unlawful failure to act at the initial receipt of the police report (September 8, 2020)
Facts of the violation: The police officer who received the report, Zhao Ren, failed to respond to the scene in accordance with the law, failed to prepare an interview transcript to preserve the facts of the case, failed to issue a Case Acceptance Receipt, and failed to issue any legal document within the statutory period, leaving the case in an “unregistered” state.
Rules violated: This seriously violated the mandatory provisions of Article 61 of the Provisions on the Procedures for Public Security Organs Handling Administrative Cases (requiring the issuance of a Case Acceptance Receipt) and Article 169 of the Provisions on the Procedures for Public Security Organs Handling Criminal Cases (requiring immediate acceptance, clarification of the circumstances and preparation of a transcript).
Party-discipline violations: Mass discipline — responding passively to reports from members of the public, shifting responsibility and failing to perform statutory duties; work discipline — being irresponsible at work, failing to act and violating provisions on case-handling procedures.
2. Serious delay beyond the time limit for handling the case (September 2020–November 2022)
Facts of the violation: More than two years elapsed between the receipt of the police report and the issuance of the Notice of Decision Not to File a Case on November 14, 2022.
Rules violated: This seriously violated Article 178 of the Provisions on the Procedures for Public Security Organs Handling Criminal Cases (providing that the time limit for reviewing whether to file a case is generally no more than three days and, at most, no more than 30 days), substantially depriving the complainant of the right to timely judicial relief.
Party-discipline violations: Work discipline — serious delay, dereliction of duty and violation of case-handling time-limit requirements.
3. Refusal to accept new evidence (December 30, 2024)
Facts of the violation: After the complainant submitted new key evidence (from West China Hospital of Sichuan University and Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital), the police refused to accept it without legitimate reason and failed to issue a receipt.
Rules violated: This violated the provisions on the receipt of evidence in Article 187 of the Provisions on the Procedures for Public Security Organs Handling Criminal Cases, constituted an abuse of power and prematurely closed the channel for legal relief.
Party-discipline violations: Mass discipline — refusing to accept key evidence submitted by a member of the public, failing to issue a receipt in accordance with the law and deliberately blocking the channel for relief.
(II) Weiyang Branch: failure of supervision and improper remarks
1. Failure to fulfill supervisory responsibility
Facts of the violation: The branch failed to investigate and verify the grassroots-level violations by Daming Palace Police Station and failed to provide any substantive response, rendering the internal supervision mechanism ineffective.
Party-discipline violations: Work discipline — ineffective performance of supervisory responsibilities and dereliction of duty and oversight.
2. Improper prejudgment remarks (September 29, 2025)
Facts of the violation: Secretary Wang of the branch discipline inspection commission (police ID 019530) publicly stated, without legally reviewing the new evidence, “I participated in your case throughout; even if there is new evidence, I will not file your case.”
Rules violated: This seriously contravened Article 112 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People’s Republic of China concerning the conditions for filing a case. It was a typical “presumption of guilt,” prematurely excluding the obligation to conduct a lawful review and seriously damaging public confidence in the judiciary.
Party-discipline violations: Work discipline — abusing power and improperly intervening in the review of a case; mass discipline — hurting the feelings of members of the public through improper remarks and damaging relations between the Party and the people.
(III) Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department: the core and focus of the procedural violations
1. Failure to lawfully serve the final legal document
The Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department issued a Notice of Conclusion on October 30, 2023.
Facts of the violation: The department failed to serve the document on the complainant in a timely manner in accordance with the law. It was not until September 5, 2024, after the complainant repeatedly pressed for an answer, that she passively obtained a photocopy; service was delayed for as long as 11 months.
Rules violated: According to the Provisions on Public Security Organs’ Handling of Petition Matters and other relevant regulations, final legal documents must be served in accordance with the law; this is a baseline requirement of procedural justice. A delay of 11 months constituted a serious procedural impropriety and violation.
2. Legal characterization: serious procedural violations and infringement of rights
Serious procedural violation: The failure to serve the document within the statutory period prevented the complainant from exercising her right to seek relief from the courts and procuratorates (such as requesting supervision of case filing or initiating administrative litigation). This was not merely a simple work omission, but a substantive and fundamental deprivation of the complainant’s statutory avenues for relief, causing irreparable harm.
Party-discipline violations: Mass discipline — intentionally or through gross negligence failing to serve legal documents, causing members of the public to lose their statutory right to relief; work discipline — serious irresponsibility and violation of provisions on service procedures.
(IV) Summary of violations of the Party’s six major disciplines
Political discipline Departing from the principle of the rule of law, suppressing petitioning through the case and blocking criminal proceedings through petitioning, thereby undermining the political environment in the political and legal sphere
Organizational discipline Illegally interfering in and intervening in the approval of criminal cases, failing to handle cases according to statutory procedures, and colluding between higher- and lower-level units to provide protection
Integrity discipline Showing partiality toward the medical personnel involved in the case, abusing public security powers to act for personal ends and protect colleagues
Mass discipline Disregarding the public’s lives, health and major personal rights and interests, responding passively to reports from members of the public, shifting responsibility, refusing to accept evidence, failing to serve documents in accordance with the law and making improper remarks
Work discipline Failing to file cases, suppressing cases and failing to investigate them, delaying case handling, failing to exercise supervision and violating provisions on service procedures
Life discipline Corrupt law-enforcement conduct and violation of the ethical bottom line for political and legal officers.
Requests in the complaint
1. The complainant respectfully requests that your team, pursuant to Article 14 of the Regulations on the Communist Party of China’s Political-Legal Work, designate this case as a key case for special supervision, supervise it throughout, ensure that responsibilities are fulfilled, urge the Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department and Xi’an public security organs to correct their errors in accordance with the law, open a criminal investigation and conduct retrospective accountability, thereby restoring fairness and justice to the victim.
2. The complainant requests that the relevant responsible personnel of the three levels of public security organs (Daming Palace Police Station, Weiyang Branch and Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department) be held legally responsible for procedural violations and dereliction of duty during the handling of the case.
3. The complainant requests that the Notice of Conclusion issued by the Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department in violation of procedures be revoked in accordance with the law and that the department be ordered to conduct a new review in accordance with the law.
4. The complainant requests that Ma Lu be held criminally liable in accordance with the law for suspected intentional injury and placement of hazardous substances, and that a criminal investigation be opened in accordance with the law.
5. The complainant requests that all personnel of Daming Palace Police Station of the Weiyang Branch of the Xi’an Municipal Public Security Bureau be ordered to recuse themselves in accordance with the law.
6. The complainant requests that Zhao Ren, Wu Songrang, Secretary Wang (police ID 019530) and others be subject to supervisory investigation and accountability in accordance with the law and regulations for disciplinary and legal violations in handling this case, including dereliction of duty, abuse of power, failure to file a case, suppression of the case and failure to investigate it, and violation of law-enforcement procedures.
7. Regarding the fact that the complainant’s three mailings of complaint materials to the inspection team received no response, the complainant requests an investigation into whether the inspection team implemented the requirement of “closed-loop management and a reply to every matter”; that accountability procedures be initiated against responsible personnel of the former employing unit; and that the issue of the inspection team’s failure to respond lawfully to the complaint also be addressed.
Overall statement
The complainant innocently suffered major criminal harm, including the placement of hazardous substances and intentional injury, resulting in lifelong irreversible damage to multiple organs throughout her body and a lifetime of living with illness. From the initial unlawful conduct of Daming Palace Police Station, to the failure of supervision by the discipline inspection commission of Weiyang Branch, and then to the unlawful service by the Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department, the conduct of the three levels of public security organs followed one after another and jointly caused procedural justice in this case to completely collapse. During this period, the complainant sought relief from the inspection team three times, but all efforts disappeared without a trace and received no substantive response.
The above conduct clearly violated the Party’s mass discipline and work discipline. It was not only a serious infringement of the complainant’s personal rights and interests, but also an open challenge to the dignity of national law and the credibility of law enforcement by public security organs.
Therefore, the complainant respectfully requests that your team perform its legal supervisory duties in accordance with the law, thoroughly investigate the above unlawful conduct, pursue the Party-discipline responsibility of the relevant responsible personnel pursuant to the Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China, support all of the complainant’s requests, uphold the dignity of the law and protect the lawful rights and interests of citizens.
Respectfully submitted to
Third Inspection Team
