Subsequently, both the traffic police and public security officers arrived at the scene. The fake taxi driver appeared to be no more than in his early 30s, wearing a pair of glasses. The police did not find any identification on him or in his car but found two counterfeit hundred-yuan bills. Mr. Liu said that the fake taxi driver confessed to the police that he bought the car for 4000 yuan in Huaxiang and later repainted it and fitted it with a cloned license plate. Subsequently, the public security officers took the fake taxi driver away for further investigation, and the traffic police impounded his cloned car.
In a report by journalist Wang Qiong: At around 7:30 PM last night, near Nongzhan Bridge in Chaoyang District, taxi driver Mr. Liu smashed the window glass of another "taxi" with his fists, grabbed the driver, and pulled him out of the car. It turned out that Mr. Liu had encountered this "fake taxi" that cloned his license plate on the road and chased it for three or four kilometers before catching the fake taxi driver.
Mr. Liu repeatedly thanked Mr. Li, who was in the car, and then went to a nearby hospital to bandage his hand. "I'm so happy to have caught this guy myself, I didn't even feel the pain." Afterward, Mr. Liu realized how much his right hand hurt, but he thought it was worth it.
"Brother, could you help me call the police? I've encountered a car that cloned my license plate!" Mr. Liu drove while asking Mr. Li for help. Mr. Li quickly dialed 122 and 110 and continuously reported the car's location. How would the fake taxi driver willingly surrender? Even during the evening peak hour with heavy traffic, he still reversed, drove against traffic, and made circles, fleeing at high speed. Mr. Liu gritted his teeth and kept chasing after him. Mr. Li told the reporter that he was constantly reporting the car's position over the phone, "No matter how fast I spoke, it couldn't keep up with how fast the car was moving," one second the car was at Changqiao Bridge, and the next second it was circling around Tuanjie North Street. He couldn't help but instruct Mr. Liu to close the car windows, "I was afraid someone might get thrown out!"
Thus, Mr. Liu pursued the car for three or four kilometers and tried several times to force the cloned car to stop by using his own car but failed each time. Half an hour later, when the cloned car reached Nongzhan Bridge and encountered a red light, Mr. Liu successfully forced the cloned car to stop. After getting out of the car, Mr. Liu rushed forward and asked the fake taxi driver to get out of the car, but the latter remained seated without moving. In response, Mr. Liu smashed the other car's window with his fist and forcibly dragged the driver out. At the time, blood was continuously flowing from Mr. Liu's right hand, but he did not let go. Meanwhile, Mr. Li informed the police on the other end of the phone about their latest location and situation.
When Mr. Liu heard this, his heart warmed. As early as last October, Mr. Liu's car had already been cloned, and that cloned car ran two red lights, making him carry the "black pot". At the time, the fleet issued an assistance investigation notice to track down this cloned car, and unexpectedly, this time he encountered it himself! Mr. Liu immediately accelerated and forced the "cloned car" to the side of the road. "Is your license plate BJ6###?" Mr. Liu got out of the car and immediately questioned the driver and requested to see his driver's license. Of course, the fake taxi driver could not produce any documents. After driving the male passenger out of the car, the latter sped off quickly. Seeing this, Mr. Liu immediately got back into his car and gave chase.
At around 7 PM last night, Mr. Liu was driving Mr. Li, who had just gotten off the plane, to pick up his girlfriend at Chaoyangmen. When they were on the Third Ring Road heading south from Changqiao Bridge, Mr. Liu suddenly noticed that the license plate of a taxi ahead looked very familiar. Mr. Liu feared he might have seen wrong, so he casually asked Mr. Li to help check, and it turned out that the license plate of this car was exactly the same as his!
