Involved in providing a vehicle to help Zhang Junjie escape to the south, Zhou Huankai, who has a gang background, is under arrest

Non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei's "big accountant" Zhang Junjie cut off his electronic bracelet and fled. The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office traced and found that Zhou Huankai, a man with a gang background, allegedly provided Zhang with a vehicle during his escape to help him escape from Taoyuan to Tainan. Zhou was arrested late at night on the 9th and charged with crimes such as concealing a criminal under the Criminal Code and damaging public property. He applied for detention in the court last night.

Prosecutors recently traced Zhang Junjie's communications, surveillance footage and traffic tracks before and after his escape. They found that Zhang cut off his electronic bracelet, abandoned it in Da'an Forest Park, and then took a taxi to Taoyuan. On the way, he contacted 36-year-old man Zhou Huankai. After Zhou provided a vehicle, he changed cars and headed south to Tainan. The police found the taxi driver who transported Zhang. The driver testified that Zhang did not say a word or close his eyes to rest along the way, which left a deep impression on him.

Prosecutors and police have determined that Zhang may still be in Taiwan. The next two days will be the key to the pursuit.

It is understood that after Zhang Junjie went south, he continued to move in Chiayi, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Pingtung and other places, constantly changing clothes, changing taxis, and deliberately going to crowded places to create breakpoints in his whereabouts, making it more difficult to track him down. The prosecutors have judged that there is a high possibility that Zhang is still in Taiwan, and have deployed about 40 police officers to central and southern Taiwan, Taitung and other places. The coast patrol unit has also strengthened coastal searches to prevent Zhang from smuggling out of the country through the Xun Pipeline. The next two days are regarded as the key to the pursuit. The prosecutors are currently racing against time to find the breakpoints of Zhang's whereabouts from the contact objects and vehicle trajectories as soon as possible to prevent Zhang from further transfer or smuggling out of the country.

Before fleeing, Zhang Junjie met Chen Junwei, an office assistant at Gaojin, and handed the items to him for safekeeping. On the way south, he was allegedly picked up by Zhou Huankai, who created breakpoints in his whereabouts by changing clothes, changing cars, and blending into the crowd. The prosecutors determined that before cutting off the electronic bracelet, Zhang had already disposed of his personal belongings, arranged transportation, and subsequently concealed himself. Various signs also indicate that Zhang's escape may have been premeditated. Whether there is a careful division of labor and an escape network behind him has been listed as the focus of the investigation.

According to research and judgment, Zhang Changnian handled Gao Jin Sumei’s office, peripheral associations and financial affairs, and had certain political, business and local connections. This time, he even changed clothes, changed cars and created breakpoints in his whereabouts. It cannot be ruled out that someone familiar with escape techniques was behind the scenes. The prosecutors and police are tracking his movements based on the responders, communication records and vehicle tracks, and are trying to prevent him from turning to coastal areas to wait for opportunities to sneak into the country.
