Zhang Junjie, the former director of the office of legislator Gao Jin Sumei, has been on the run for about 2 months in connection with a communist espionage case. It was reported yesterday that Zhang Junjie had smuggled out of Keelung on the 28th of last month. Zhang Yumeng, director of the Taiwan Youth Democratic Association, detailed the key points in time when Zhang Junjie fled and finally succeeded in smuggling, and questioned, how could Zhang Junjie alone escape for 52 days without being caught, and finally successfully smuggled across the country? The criminal network behind it is horrifying to think about.

Zhang Junjie, the "big accountant" of non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei, and three other core staff were involved in the Communist espionage case. After Zhang Junjie cut off the electronic handcuffs and lost contact in September, the police from Keelung in the north to Pingtung in the south reviewed countless surveillance cameras and arrested a lot of cooperators, but they could never trace Zhang Junjie. Yesterday, it was reported that Zhang Junjie had smuggled out of Keelung on the 28th of last month.

Zhang Yumeng posted on Facebook that Gao Jin Sumei’s confidant Zhang Junjie had definitely successfully smuggled himself into Taiwan and escaped from Taiwan!

Zhang Yumeng said that after Zhang Junjie destroyed his electronic bracelet and lost contact on September 6, the court immediately wanted him for arrest the next day. In mid-September, Zhang Junjie made his first attempt to cross the border illegally in the south, but the weather was too bad and he failed.

At the end of September, Yan Shichen, who was only 19 years old, ran to Xindian Police Station to surrender at around 3 a.m. He confessed to the police that he was instructed to drive Zhang Junjie all the way to the south after picking him up in Chiayi. Yan Shichen also said, "Zhang Junjie is suspected of smuggling away from the coast of Chiayi." The task force did not accept it at the time and suspected that Zhang Junjie might have deliberately confuse the public.

Since then, prosecutors have launched an intensive search. Zhang Junjie was looking for a stowaway channel in Kaohsiung, but the risk of taking him out to sea was too high, and no ship dared to take his case. The intelligence unit also found out that the underworld organization had a "smuggling specialist" who helped Zhang Junjie negotiate the price with the ship owner behind the scenes. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, only 5 million was opened. But I really couldn’t find anyone to pick me up, so after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the number rose to 7 million, but no one wanted to take it. At the end of October, the smuggling fee reached an unprecedented 12 million yuan. It is said that compared with other wanted criminals, this price is about 10 times that of the average person.

Zhang Yumeng pointed out that Zhang Junjie found that the south was not feasible and began to flee north and south. Finally, he rushed from Tainan to Gongliao, New Taipei, and finally found a fishing boat willing to take him. Surveillance footage showed that at about 10 o'clock in the evening on October 28, he boarded a fishing boat from Zhengbin Fishing Port south of Heping Island. At that time, when the ship was preparing to go to sea, there were also coast guard patrols on board for inspection. But Zhang Junjie was not found hiding on the boat. After passing the inspection, the fishing boat took Zhang Junjie out of Taiwan and escaped from Taiwan.

Zhang Yumeng said bluntly that during this pursuit, the prosecutors and police failed to make the right move. Zhang Junjie fled for about 10 days and hid in a private house in the countryside of Chiayi. After the prosecutor confirmed the location, they immediately broke into the door with guns and live ammunition to arrest the people. Unexpectedly, when I broke in, I found that the building was already deserted, but the tea on the table was still warm, which meant that Zhang Junjie had just left.

Zhang Yumeng emphasized that this was not the only time. Later, the prosecutors found another Zhang Junjie hiding place, but after emergency dispatch, they failed - but signs at the scene showed that Zhang Junjie had just slept here briefly and left quickly. In the end, he was not caught. The whole pursuit process was missing that last moment. Now that the person is sure to have escaped, he will really be so angry that he will vomit blood.

Zhang Yumeng said that you must know that Zhang Junjie is not only suspected of fraudulently receiving 9.33 million in state subsidies. The High Prosecutor's Office has officially stated that Zhang Junjie is suspected of "accepting Chinese funds and developing organizations in Taiwan." This is a national security case. Furthermore, after being interviewed by the Supreme People's Procuratorate, Chen Zhixuan, the director of the SAIF office, and Lin Yijun, his assistant, were both detained and banned from seeing them. It happened to be today that the High People's Procuratorate was afraid that the two would collude in confession when they went out, so they requested to extend their detention for another two months.

Zhang Yumeng mentioned that the fire also burned Gao Jin Sumei herself. Yesterday, Gao Jin Sumei was interviewed by the National Security Station as a defendant. After the interrogation, Gao Jin was directly restricted from leaving the country. As a result, the most important key figure, Zhang Junjie, ran away directly.

Zhang Yumeng questioned, how could Zhang Junjie alone be on the run for 52 days without being caught and finally successfully cross the border? The thought of the criminal network behind it makes my hair stand on end. Please continue to investigate.
