He urged the driver to speed up, saying he wanted to say goodbye to his family.
A taxi driver in China has played a crucial role in helping police arrest a murder suspect who admitted to “killing a man” after getting into a car.
SCMP reports on this.
A taxi driver surnamed Yin from Wuhan City picked up a 20-year-old man who stopped the taxi on the side of the road on November 14. The passenger asked for a ride 1,100 km to the city of Weifang and agreed to pay 4,500 yuan (US$620) for the fare. He prepaid 4,000 yuan and promised to pay the rest upon arrival.
According to the company's policy on long-distance travel, Yin took another driver surnamed Xia to help him on the way. After driving 300 km, the passenger asked them to hurry up. When Xia reminded the passenger to drive safely, the passenger lowered his voice and said, “I killed a man. I have to hurry home to say goodbye to my family.”
Xia took it as a joke, but Yin became suspicious when he noticed the man's worried expression and that he was wearing a mask.
At that moment, Yin received a phone call from the police in Jingmeng, another city in Hubei Province. He was informed that the passenger was a suspect in the murder and that they were tracking him and the taxi. The police asked Yin to cooperate and apprehend the suspect.
Yin quickly composed himself, pretending that the call was accidental. He then suggested that they stop at a charging station to charge the car, subtly hinting to Xia to remain calm.
The police arrived while the car was “charging” and arrested the suspect.
On November 17, police traveled from Jingmen to Wuhan to present Yin and Xia with a reward of 1,000 yuan (US$140) each for their bravery.
Recall that 18 pairs of shoes of children were stolen from a kindergarten. Everyone was shocked, who was the thief.
