After investigation by the Pudong police, it was found that from 1999 to 2002, the manager of the company, Mr. Wu, together with the social staff, Mr. Xu, and others, took advantage of Mr. Wu’s position to use 210 million yuan (RMB, the same below) deposited by other companies without authorization. ) to buy and sell stocks, Xu sold the stocks and withdrawn a total of more than 6 million yuan.

  Although the suspect has fled abroad, the police have never given up on Xu's pursuit.

During the pursuit, the police visited Xu's family members several times, suggesting that the family members persuade the other party to return to China and surrender, and at the same time actively sought the assistance of the local police to investigate Xu's whereabouts abroad.

In 2022, the police learned an important clue through the Interpol channel: Xu was suspected to be living locally in Thailand under the pseudonym Deng.

After squandering all the stolen money he carried, Xu could only work in a Southeast Asian country under the pseudonym Deng to make a living. The mental and life pressures had already overwhelmed him.

In order to completely evade the pursuit of the police, he also tried to spend a lot of money to whitewash his identity, but was eventually discovered by the police.
