据当地媒体周二报道，中国当局已处决一名男子，该男子因职业纠纷投毒杀害一名与网飞版《三体》改编项目有关的博彩业亿万富翁。
被告人徐尧因杀害游族网络创始人林奇罪名成立。游族网络总部位于上海，拥有这部现象级科幻三部曲的影视改编权，该三部曲以首部图书名称《三体》为人熟知。
这部由中国作家刘慈欣创作的科幻三部曲已被翻译成40余种语言，并被改编为影视及游戏作品，包括网飞2024年上线的热门剧集《三体》。
徐尧曾是游族网络子公司负责人，在他协助老板拿下网飞改编协议后不久便被创始人边缘化，遂于2020年向林奇投毒。
徐尧于2024年被定罪，上海第一财经全媒体及其他媒体报道称，他于5月21日被执行死刑。
林奇所在公司周二在微博社交平台发布声明，确认了这一执行结果。
声明称：“近日，三体宇宙创始人林奇先生的案件终于尘埃落定，正义最终得以伸张。”
声明继续说道：“公司全体同仁对正义得到伸张深表感激。”
游族网络周三未立即回复记者要求进一步置评的请求。

上海市高级人民法院未立即回复记者通过邮件提出的置评请求。
据当地媒体报道，徐尧花费数十万元人民币（合数万美元）在网上购买了剧毒物质，其中包括在部分有毒蘑菇中发现的致命化合物α-鹅膏蕈碱。
他将毒药伪装成益生菌药丸，还将其注入咖啡胶囊、储水容器和威士忌酒瓶中，随后与林奇及其他公司员工分享。据《好莱坞报道者》援引当地媒体当时的报道，林奇疑似因饮用一杯有毒茶水而中毒。
林奇于2020年12月被送医救治，数日后不治身亡，年仅39岁。
另有数人中毒但已康复。
《三体》系列作品在海内外均广受好评。该系列作者刘慈欣成为首位获得该类型文学最高奖项雨果奖的中国作家。
在国内，该作品推动了涵盖电影、电子游戏、图书、杂志及展览的科幻产业发展。
据追踪中国富豪榜单的胡润百富榜显示，林奇以68亿元人民币（合10亿美元）的净资产位列中国第870位富豪。
林奇去世后，英国广播公司报道称，其公司在官方微博发布了一则饱含情感的声明。
“再见青春，”声明写道，“我们将在一起，继续向善，继续相信美好，继续与一切丑恶抗争到底。”
Man executed for poisoning Chinese billionaire Netflix producer Lin Qi

Chinese authorities have executed a man convicted of using poison to kill a billionaire gaming tycoon linked to the Netflix adaptation of “The Three-Body Problem” over a professional dispute, local media reported Tuesday.
Xu Yao was found guilty of killing Lin Qi, the founder of the Shanghai-based Yoozoo Games, which holds the film adaptation rights for the blockbuster science-fiction trilogy known by the title of its first book, “The Three-Body Problem.”
The sci-fi trilogy, by Chinese author Liu Cixin, has been translated into more than 40 languages and adapted into television and game productions, including Netflix’s popular “3 Body Problem” series released in 2024.
Xu, the former head of a subsidiary of Yoozoo Games, poisoned Lin in 2020 over being sidelined by the founder shortly after Xu helped his superior land the Netflix deal.
Xu was convicted in 2024, and Shanghai business magazine Yicai Global and other outlets reported he was executed May 21.
Lin’s company confirmed the execution in a statement Tuesday on the Weibo social media platform.
“Recently, the case concerning Mr. Lin Qi, the founder of Three-Body Universe, has finally reached its conclusion, and justice has ultimately been served,” the statement read.
“All of us at the company are deeply grateful for the upholding of justice,” it continued.
Yoozoo Games did not immediately respond Wednesday to a request for additional comment.

The Shanghai High People’s Court did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
According to local media reports, Xu spent hundreds of thousands of yuan (tens of thousands of dollars) to buy highly toxic substances online, including alpha-amanitin, a lethal compound found in some poisonous mushrooms.
He disguised the poisons as probiotic pills, as well as put them inside coffee capsules, water containers and whiskey bottles, which he then shared with Lin and other company employees. The Hollywood Reporter, citing local media, reported at the time that Lin was allegedly sickened by a cup of poisoned tea.
Lin was taken to the hospital in December 2020 and died a few days later. He was 39.
Several others became sick but recovered.
“The Three-Body Problem” series has been hugely popular both in China and abroad. Liu, its author, became the first Chinese writer to win the prestigious Hugo Award, the genre’s biggest prize.
Domestically, the works spurred the growth of a sci-fi industry spanning movies, video games, books, magazines and exhibits.
Lin ranked No. 870 among China’s richest entrepreneurs with a net worth of 6.8 billion yuan ($1 billion), according to Hurun Report, which follows China’s wealthy.
After Lin died, the BBC reported his company issued an emotional statement on its official Weibo microblog.
“Goodbye youth,” it said, adding, “We will be together, continue to be kind, continue to believe in goodness, and continue the fight against all that is bad.”
