Font size

Non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei's "big accountant" Zhang Junjie abandoned bail and absconded for more than half a month. His whereabouts are unknown so far. As of yesterday, 14 accomplices who assisted in the escape have been arrested. Zhang Yumeng, director of the Taiwan Youth Democratic Association, issued an article questioning that one of the suspects who "personally cared for" Zhang Junjie actually surrendered and told the police that "Zhang Junjie had smuggled away from Chiayi." However, he questioned the authenticity of this statement and pointed out that even those who helped to escape had special "logistical support". It was difficult to imagine how big and dense this "escape network" was. He also bluntly said that the meeting will be held next week. Does Gao Jin Sumei not know any of these 14 people?

Zhang Junjie abandoned bail and absconded and has not yet been arrested. However, in recent days, accomplices who helped escape have been arrested or voluntarily surrendered. As of yesterday, the number has reached 14, including: Chen Junwei, Zhou Huankai, Chen Yanan, Chen Junhan, Chen Houzhang, Pan Xinyi, Chen Caixun, Ng Enting, Chen Weida, Wu Donghan, Chen Yuanan, Lin Zhecheng, Liang Yuren and Yan Shichen.

Zhang Yumeng posted on Facebook that after tracking down Zhang Junjie for two days and lurking in Pingtung, the suspect who "personally cared for" Zhang Junjie's daily life unexpectedly surrendered. The scary thing is that the suspect actually told the police that "Zhang Junjie had smuggled away from Chiayi."

Zhang Yumeng said that Zhang Junjie was on the run for 19 days, and the prosecutors worked around the clock to review the surveillance footage and compare the trajectories of the vehicles that picked up Zhang Junjie. The prosecutors suspected that Zhang Junjie's route from Kaohsiung to Chiayi was driven by 32-year-old Liang Yuren, who had a drug record. But after catching Liang Yuren, he insisted that he had never seen Zhang Junjie and did not know who Zhang Junjie was.

Zhang Yumeng said bluntly, "We have heard this rhetoric N times." But this time it might be true. Because, after investigation, the prosecutor discovered that Liang Yuren was not really the driver who took Zhang Junjie away, but was responsible for "receiving other people who helped to escape."

Zhang Yumeng questioned, this gave him goosebumps, because Liang Yuren's role is chilling, which shows that not only Zhang Junjie has help, but also "the people who helped Zhang Junjie escape" have special "logistical support." It’s hard to imagine how big and dense this “absconding network” is.

Zhang Yumeng mentioned that the latest information is that during the 19 days on the run, after Zhang Junjie left Kaohsiung, he went to Pingtung and lurked for two days. And a new character has appeared: Yan Shichen, who is only 19 years old. During the two days Zhang Junjie hid in Pingtung, Yan Shichen stayed with him to provide "24-hour personal care" and was responsible for Zhang Junjie's daily life. This was not over yet. After Zhang Junjie hid in Pingtung, Yan Shichen escorted him to leave Pingtung and head north.

Zhang Yumeng emphasized that it was crucial to catch Yan Shichen. He spent two days in depth with Zhang Junjie who was on the run. Here, there is good news and bad news. The good news is that the police caught the suspect (named Lin Zhecheng) who was driving Zhang Junjie in Tainan. They followed the clues and traced Yan Shichen and prepared to arrest him. The even better news is that before the police took action, Yan Shichen went north from the south and took the initiative to surrender to the Xindian branch.

But the bad news is dire. After Yan Shichen surrendered, he actually told the police that "Zhang Junjie had been smuggled out of Chiayi."

Zhang Yumeng pointed out that, in fact, the task force learned that Yan Shichen had been in frequent contact with Zhang Junjie recently. In other words, he voluntarily surrendered and told the police that Zhang Junjie had smuggled abroad. The motive may not be simple. The police suspected that Yan Shichen might simply want to "make a false accusation in the east and attack in the west."

In other words, he deliberately surrendered to the police and told the police that Zhang Junjie had fled overseas, misleading the investigation and handling the case, and also causing the Coast Guard to relax its vigilance. You must know that Zhang Junjie was on the run for 19 days. As long as he was still hiding in Taiwan, he was taking huge risks every day - as long as the maritime patrol was relaxed for a moment, Zhang Junjie might board the ship immediately and escape.

How serious is Coast Patrol? Zhang Yumeng explained that in order to prevent Zhang Junjie from absconding, efforts were made to investigate illegal departures from the port. As a result, as the investigation continued, 10 wanted criminals were directly discovered, and 2 people who were restricted from leaving the country were also stopped. On Tuesday evening, when checking the boat list at the security checkpoint at Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf, a 72-year-old wanted criminal was discovered, also named Zhang. Not only does he have the same surname as Zhang Junjie, but he is also almost the same age. The wanted criminal named Zhang also said that he did not know that he was wanted.

The Tamsui Branch immediately checked and found that the wanted criminal named Zhang was wanted for theft, not Zhang Junjie, but they still escorted him back to the Tamsui Branch before the ship left the port.

Zhang Yumeng questioned and returned to Zhang Junjie. What kind of 70-year-old man in the world can find N people to create a breaking point to take over the escort when he escapes, and still has someone to take care of his daily life 24 hours a day? Now, the investigation and investigation has reached the "second level". It has gone from "changing cars, moving, and hiding" in one go to the process of executing the mission. When you assist in the escape, there is a "second level" to support logistics.

Zhang Yumeng said bluntly that Zhang Junjie was on the run for 19 days and has arrested 14 suspects so far. The case is complicated and confusing. After the consecutive holidays, the meeting will start next week. Please ask the reporter, Gao Jin Sumei, do you not know all these 14 people?

Political commentator Wu Kunyu also reposted Zhang Yumeng's post and bluntly said, "This is already the scale of a fifth column."

The New Taipei City mayoral election heats up. Su Qiaohui responds to Li Sichuan's question about the universal distribution of NT$10,000.

The New Taipei City mayoral election is fierce. KMT candidate Li Sichuan questioned President Lai Ching-te's policy of issuing NT$10,000 and suggested that priority should be given to the NT$5.41 billion in New Taipei City MRT funding that had been cut. DPP candidate Su Qiaohui responded that the Ministry of Transportation has made it clear that rail construction subsidies will not be reduced. The reason for the general distribution of 10,000 yuan is because the country’s economy is good and tax revenue is at a record high. On the premise that the country’s finances are affordable and there is no debt, she represents the party legislator to the president to fight for the AI ​​dividend to be shared by all people.

Pan Caixuan, spokesman for Li's Sichuan campaign office, responded to the false accusations made by Su Qiaohui camp member Weng Zhenzhou, pointing out that the poll cited by Li's campaign came from the Kuomintang's New Taipei City Council caucus internal poll and the details have been made public. On the contrary, Soviet figures Su Zhenchang and Zhang Honglu only published polls with a single number many times during the 2018 election without disclosing the source, confirming that Su Qiaohui's camp has double standards and is accustomed to leading the trend with false polls.

Scholars from China and Hong Kong proposed a 12-point consensus on the "one country, two systems" Taiwan plan. Mainland Affairs Council: The Taiwan government and people will not accept any of it.

Hong Kong's "One Country, Two Systems" Institute and other institutions held a symposium at the Beijing Center of the University of Hong Kong. More than 20 scholars from China and Hong Kong proposed the so-called "12-point consensus", which included that all power in Taiwan comes from central authorization, patriots govern Taiwan, the People's Liberation Army stationed in Taiwan, disbanding Taiwan's armed forces, confiscating weapons, reorganizing political parties and electoral systems, reforming textbooks, and even proposing "paramilitary rule" for three to five years if reunification is completed by non-peaceful means. Liang Wenjie, deputy chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, responded that the Taiwan government and people "will not accept any of it." The article pointed out that this plan lacks the participation and democratic authorization of the Taiwanese people. It is actually a presupposed design to restructure Taiwan's political order after reunification, and is incompatible with Taiwan's current democratic constitutional system.
