on April 10th 2016 shiaa and her boyfriend aan turned themselves in at a police station in New Taipei City Taiwan xiaoa told the police that she had witnessed the entire process of Abby killing Jang in Hong Kong a year earlier xiaoa had worked as a waitress at a Japanese themed made Cafe in Hong Kong Abby was a regular customer there and after a few encounters the two became acquainted initially Xiao chcha thought ABI was a wealthy man because he was always generous never caring about prices however after a while ABI started eating meals without paying and would
even sneak into the kitchen to steal food eventually the restaurant owner kicked ABI out and warned him not to return although ABI no longer came to the cafe shiaa continued to stay in touch with him she believed Abby could help her make a lot of money because of her relationship with ABI shiaa had a huge argument with her boyfriend Asian in a fit of anger she left home when Abi learned of this he immediately invited xiaoa to live with him in his apartment in too Harbor promising he would help her make good money trusting Abby xia
Chow moved in with him however she hadn’t expected that so many of ab’s friends would also be living there unint Al xiaa became involved with the their organization shiaa took over Tao’s position tasked with recording the content of the meetings Obby promised her a monthly salary of $8,000 Hong Kong dollars with room and board included Obby provided everything accommodation and three meals a day during each meeting they would discuss who they plann to kill but they had never actually gone through with it because of this xiaoa never took these
meetings seriously she would just record the discussions mechanically as requested but this time they followed through and killed Jang as planned then pressured xaa to flee with them initially xiaa didn’t want to leave because she believed she hadn’t participated in the crime however Abby called and threatened her saying that if she didn’t go with them he would put all the blame on her shaow feeling helpless and vulnerable reluctantly agreed as soon as they arrived in Taiwan ABI confiscated her past passport
another identification they initially used fake IDs to rent a room at a hot spring Hotel they also altered their tattoos to avoid recognition the group changed their hair colors altered their clothing and tried to disguise themselves to evade the police they then moved to another hotel in Taipei however ABI felt that staying in the city center was too risky so they relocated to yet another hotel after several moves they were nearly out of money to cut cost Abby rented a cheaper room in new Taipei City based on a
friend’s recommendation with no income the group struggled to survive in a cramped room eating only instant noodles each day one day xiaa overheard ABI and the others Whispering about something listening closely she was horrified to realize they were planning to sell her to human traffickers for money terrified shaow seized the opportunity to secretly call her boyfriend aan in Hong Kong for help when AB and his accompli weren’t paying attention upon hearing her story aan was extremely worried but urged her to stay
calm and avoid drawing attention he immediately booked a flight from Hong Kong to Taiwan to rescue her while ABI and his accomplice were asleep xiaa slipped out to meet Ashan and together they went to the police station to report the situation once they understood the circumstances the new Taipei police contacted Hong Kong authorities on April 11th shiaa and Ashan were deported back to Hong Kong the Hong Kong police arrested shiaa on charges of being an accomplice to murder based on her statements the police were able to
locate the three remaining suspects however since the three men had not committed any crimes on Taiwanese soil the Taiwanese authorities could only arrest them once their visas expired on the morning of April 12th new taipe police raided the room where OB group was staying all three were arrested on charges of endangering Public Safety in the room the police found numerous books on criminal psychology all belonging to ABI he carried these books with him wherever he went suggesting his deep understanding of how to manipulate others
psychologically that evening all three suspects were deported to Hong Kong during police questioning they began blaming each other offering conflicting stories the police first interrogated ABI who claimed that aha was The Mastermind and that he was forced into the situation ABI stated that a few days before the incident aha had expressed a desire to Rob wealthy people during one of their conversations jong’s wealth had come up aha then devised a plan to Target Jong and convinced ABI to join promising him a cut of the proceeds once the plan was
executed ABI confessed that he initially had no intention of going through with the plan but aha was persistent constantly trying to convince him reflecting on his past business dealings with Jang which had resulted in significant losses ABI felt a surge of resentment in a moment of emotional weakness he agreed to aha’s proposal however Abby insisted he never intended to kill Jang he just wanted to teach him a lesson and make some extra money aha then persuaded aay to join the plan at first they intended to lure Jang to a
bar and Drug him there but aha decided that attacking in a bar would be too risky instead they ultimately chose to use their apartment as the crime scene aha directed ABI and aay to go out and buy ropes duct tape chloroform alcohol and other supplies for the attack after they returned aha even poured chloroform onto a cloth and forced ABI and aay to inhale it to test its effects on the day of the incident ABI called Jang to lure him to the apartment he thought aha wouldn’t actually go through with it perhaps just scare Jang a little
so he went upstairs to lie down next to xiaoa not long after ABI heard sounds of a struggle from downstairs he rushed down to find Aha aay and Jang in a scuffle aha used the chloroform soaked cloth to cover jang’s mouth and nose while aay held down jang’s legs although Jang tried to fight back he was quickly overpowered and forced to the floor aha ordered ABI to inject alcohol into Jang according to ABI he was terrified and unsure of what to do but aha continued to pressure him with aggressive threats under duress Abby
took the syringe and injected jang’s leg a short time later Jang lost Consciousness at this point they realized things had gone too far aay tried performing CPR on John but it was useless afterward aha searched Jang and took all his belongings seeing aha’s brutality ABI became extremely frightened and suggested going to the police to confess however both Aha and aay firmly opposed this idea and threatened to kill him if he reported them aha even bragged about having a contact within the police as a result ABI didn’t dare act on his own
and reluctantly went along helping Aha and aay move jang’s body into the bathroom the group discussed how to dispose of the body aha suggested dismembering it but ABI thought this was too gruesome and strongly opposed the idea ultimately they decided to encase jang’s body in a concrete block disguised as a flower planter which they would then dispose of the next day a how had to leave for Singapore to participate in a street Dance Competition so the task of encasing the body in concrete was left to ABI and aay
after purchasing the cement they began working on the plan however when they tried to move the concrete block to the elevator door they realized it was too large and wouldn’t fit both were puzzled about what to do next 3 Days Later aha returned from Singapore when he saw that the concrete block was still there he became Furious the group attempted once again to get the concrete block into the elevator but failed aha then ordered ABI and aay to buy a drill in suitcases planning to break the block apart they intended to
smash the concrete into smaller pieces and put them into suitcases for disposal however they underestimated the hardness of the concrete block ordinary tools couldn’t penetrate it as time passed the stench from the concrete began to spread realizing that they could no longer hide the situation aha decided to flee before leaving he called Xiao chow and threatened her to join them ABI told the police that after arriving in Taiwan he had tried to turn himself in several times but xiaoa acted before he could he insisted that chiaa
had no involvement in the crime but aha was adamant about bringing her to Taiwan when questioned about the organization there ABI claimed that it didn’t actually exist he wasn’t a leader of any organization they only had a chat group on social media which was named there next the police questioned aha whose testimony was entirely different from ab’s aha explained that he had been passionate about dancing since childhood he had participated in several shows such as Asian wave and million star hoping to become a professional dancer
however he hadn’t found his big break until he met Abi Abi had promised to invest in Aha and help him become famous and aha believed him in 2015 aha moved into the apartment where the crime took place ABI assured aha that he could focus solely on Dance while he handled everything else at first aha thought he had found a benefactor But as time went on he realized that ABI was just a con artist without the money he claimed to have ABI even convinced aha to take out a 50,000 Hong Kong dollar bank loan for investment in the end ABI gave him only
$2,000 Hong Kong dollars keeping the rest for himself later on aha also joined the so-called organization there aha testified that the plan to kill Jang wanle was proposed by ABI according to Aha ABI said that Jang was wealthy and had an unlimited credit card with that card they’d never have to worry about money again allowing aha to fully pursue his dream of becoming a Dan however by that time aha had seen through ab’s deceit and wasn’t swayed by his offers aha testified that in the early morning of the crime he was sleeping in
the downstairs bedroom when Abi woke him up handing him a cloth soaked in chloroform and asking him to sniff it still drowsy aha complied and quickly fell back asleep later around noon aha was startled awake by loud arguing outside stepping out he discovered that ABI had invited Jang to the apartment at that moment Jang and aay were struggling with each other aha wanted to intervene but by then ABI and aay had already restrained Jang forcing him to the floor aay covered jang’s mouth and nose with the chloroform soaked cloth while
ABI injected jang’s leg with a syringe a few moments later Jang lost Consciousness ABI then searched Jang and took all his possessions suggesting that they encase the body in concrete for disposal which they all agreed to Aha continued stating that he left for Singapore the next day for a dance competition when he returned the concrete block had already been cast but it was too big to fit in the elevator realizing they were stuck they decided to flee ABI then called shaoa threatening her to join them in leaving Hong Kong next police questioned
