A man surnamed Zhang in Kaohsiung City was killed in the back of a car. The suspect surnamed Mu drove the car and surrendered to the police. The prosecutors expanded the investigation and found that multiple people from the Quai Auto dealership were involved in the case. Nine people including Mu have been arrested and transferred to justice on suspicion of murder. Currently, two people, Mu Nan and Wu Nan, are in custody, and two others, Ye Nan and Chen Nan, are under custody. The rest are being interrogated by the prosecutor.

The "body hidden in the car" murder case of Nanzi District Quanli Automobile Dealer is shocking. A man named Zhang (22 years old) was killed and stuffed into the back of the car. His colleague Mu (22 years old) drove to Taitung late at night on September 30. After driving to Taitung, he returned to the Nanzi Police Station to report the murder. One person committed the murder, claiming that the other party owed him 100,000 yuan and would not pay back the murder.

However, the police reviewed the surveillance footage around the car dealership and found that eight people were present at the time of the crime. The prosecutors found multiple bruises or blunt injuries on the head, body, limbs, etc. of the deceased. They determined that Mr. Zhang had been lynched before, and that Mr. Mu may have been instructed to try to help the nine accomplices escape guilt by shouldering the crime.

In addition to first transferring Mu Nan to justice on suspicion of homicide, the police successively arrested seven fugitive accomplices involved in the case. After the police report, they were transferred to the Qiaotou District Prosecutor's Office for investigation on suspicion of homicide. Another teenager came to the case on his own and was transferred to the juvenile court after the police report.

The Qiaotou District Prosecutor's Office was allowed to detain Mu Nan and Wu Nan for the crime of aggravated injury resulting in death. They were involved in serious crimes with a fixed-term imprisonment of more than 5 years, and there was a risk of escape, collusion, and destruction of evidence. It was necessary to detain them. The Qiaotou District Court ruled that the two people should be detained for 2 months and prohibited from visiting or communicating with them. The prosecutor is currently questioning Ye and Chen again, and the Qiaotou District Court is currently preparing to interrogate them.

The fraud syndicate impersonated household registration and telecommunications personnel to defraud two people and demanded NT$30,000 each. Fortunately, they got help in time to save their deposits.

Yesterday, two men received fraudulent calls from people pretending to be from the Household Registration Office of Xinxing District, Kaohsiung City and from Chunghwa Telecom. The other men lied that their IDs had been fraudulently used and threatened to be involved in the case, asking each to remit NT$30,000 to clear themselves. Fortunately, the two went to the Tainan City Anzhong Police Station for verification before remitting the money. The police confirmed that it was a fraud and discouraged the remittance, successfully saving a total of 60,000 yuan in savings.
