The police on the scene exclaimed: "This is basically buy one, get one free, kill two birds with one stone!"

The police first keenly noticed that the 51-year-old male driver surnamed Wu was exuding an astonishingly strong smell of alcohol, and conducted an alcohol concentration test on him on the spot. The result was that the alcohol concentration seriously exceeded the limit, violating the criminal law and committing a public danger crime. While the police were conducting a sobriety test on Mr. Wu, the sharp-eyed police officer turned his head and discovered that the 48-year-old male passenger named Huang in the back seat had flashing eyes and looked extremely panicked. The police immediately conducted an identity check on him and found that Mr. Huang turned out to be a "missing migrant worker."

After interrogation by the Nanzi Branch Police, Mr. Wu, who was driving under the influence of alcohol, was transferred to the Qiaotou District Prosecutor's Office for investigation in accordance with the Criminal Code's public danger crime. Mr. Huang, a missing migrant worker whose identity was revealed, was transferred to the Kaohsiung City Special Task Force of the Immigration Department for proper placement and preparation for repatriation in accordance with the Immigration and Immigration Law.
