Another crime of, opportunity here, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The twenty-two year-old man, Huang took the cab of the sixty-six year old Lee, claimed that he wanted to be lifted to the Nanliao Hiking Trails of Long-Jing District, but as the driver took him around the mountains aimlessly, the driver used a craft knife against his neck, threatened to kill him, if he didn’t give him the money, managed to get away with over $2,000N.T., and his wallet, escaped; the police used the knife left at the scene, plus the surveillance footage, at around nine in the evening last night, arrested Huang, took him back to the station and interrogated him through the night.
The driver had a twelve centimeter long wound on his neck, but thankfully, it didn’t get deep, he was able to drive his car to the hospitals to get help; the head of plastic surgery of the hospital, Wu said, that as Lee was taken into the hospital, he was still aware, there were the injuries that cut into his trachea on the front of his neck, about six-centimeters deep, thankfully, the wounds didn’t get to his carotid or his veins, he’d been sutured up, and out of danger right now.
Lee told the police that yesterday afternoon, a man flagged down his cab, told him that he wanted to go to the Nanliao hiking trails in Longjing District, and as he was driving him there, he’d told him that he wanted to visit some friends at International Street, and had him drive the long way up a mountain, to the Taichung DMV.
At around 3:50 in the afternoon yesterday, the man took the advantage of how the driver had taken to an unpopulated area up in the mountains, told the driver he was going to pay him, strangled his neck, and used the craft knife and slashed him, told him to give up all the money he had; Lee worried about his life, and handed the wallet with $2,000N.T. in cash he had inside, and begged the man to not kill him, and the man took the wallet, and ran off.
As the robber left, Lee immediately drove to the construction site close by to ask for help, the police were called, he was taken to the hospitals; the police found that the robber left the knife as he got off the cab, and, went on foot to the Longjing city streets, and chased the leads, found that the 22-year-old Huang was the suspect, and last night he was apprehended at the Jingyi Shopping Strip. Huang was unemployed, and he told the police he wanted money that was why he’d committed the robbery at knife point.
And that, is how you still get caught, and you’d attempted to murder the man you were robbing, because he fought back, and now, you are going to spend time behind bars, on attempted murder charges, because you wanted some easy cash, without working for it.
