Overview
- The incident occurred on August 12 in Leshan, Sichuan province, after a pillow marked with “110 625” was found by a food-delivery rider.
- A woman surnamed Zhou had been accidentally locked in a bedroom for about 30 hours without food, water, or her phone due to a gust of wind and a broken latch.
- The rider, a university student surnamed Zhang, spotted the blood-stained pillow by a residential compound and immediately called police.
- A nearby hotel employee recognized the pillow design, guiding officers to Building 6 on the 25th floor, where they forced entry after knocks went unanswered and found an accidental entrapment rather than a violent crime.
- Zhou later offered Zhang 1,000 yuan, which he declined, and Meituan recognized him with a “Pioneer Rider” title and a 2,000 yuan reward.
