Finally caught, two murderers absconded for 21 years, and a taxi driver in Shanghai was robbed and killed by a man | police | Shanghai
Recently, the Shanghai police successfully solved a murder case 21 years ago, and both suspect were arrested.
On February 1, 2002, the Luwan Branch of the former Shanghai Public Security Bureau received a report of a murder case: a white taxi with a Shanghai license plate was parked at the entrance of a certain number on Rihui East Road, and the driver Yang died in the driver's cab with a large amount of blood on his body.
The police obtained an important clue through investigation: during the incident, two men had a dispute with the victim, with one man sitting in the passenger seat and the other standing outside the driver's cab. Based on the conversation records with colleagues before the victim's death and the mileage details reflected in the taxi company's backend system, the investigators have preliminarily determined the suspect's boarding and taxi stopping times.

Based on this, the task force conducted investigation and investigation, visiting more than 150 units and dozens of residential areas in the surrounding area. However, limited by the technical conditions at the time, there was no decisive breakthrough in the case.
Generations of criminal investigation police officers have not given up their pursuit of the truth, and continue to strengthen the integration and application of new physical evidence technologies and investigation and judgment. On May 24th of this year, exciting news came: after comparing physical evidence information, a 50 year old man named Yu from Pingjiang, Hunan, entered the police's sight and had the same name and surname as a man found during a visit by the special investigation team. This means that this person is highly likely to have close ties to the case at that time.
Huangpu Branch then contacted the Hunan police to compare the biological evidence of Mr. Yu and confirmed that the biological evidence was identical with the physical evidence obtained on the scene. Therefore, the police identified Mr. Yu, who had moved to Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, as the suspect of the case. On June 13th, the Huangpu police organized police forces to rush to Jiangmen, Guangdong, and with the strong cooperation of the local police, successfully captured Yu.

After interrogation, Yu truthfully confessed to the crime of killing and robbing money together with his fellow villager Ling while working in Shanghai on February 1, 2002. On June 20th, with the strong assistance of the Hunan police, the Huangpu police successfully arrested the suspect Ling in Changsha City.
At present, suspect Yu and Ling have been detained by the Huangpu police according to law for suspected intentional homicide, and the case is under further investigation.
