It took seven long years but persistent detectives finally got their man, a suspect in the strangling of a hair-washing girl he befriended at a beauty salon.
Nanhui District police announced yesterday that in August they arrested the second suspect in a duo that allegedly robbed and killed Qiqi, a hair-washing girl on October 31, 1998.
The man, whom police identified as Xiao Hei, was arrested by local police investigators at a construction materials market in Ankang, Shaanxi Province, on August 20.
"I knew that sooner or later, this day was to come," Xiao Hei allegedly said when he looked up and faced a couple of approaching criminal investigators at the market.
Police alleged the two men from Guang'an in Sichuan Province had robbed a young woman working at a hair salon in Nanhui District in 1998, strangled her and threw her body into a local stream.
The other suspect, identified by his nickname "the Bear," was seized by local police in suburban Beijing where he was hiding, in February.
The duo had allegedly confessed. Xiao Hei said they had planned to carry out a series of robberies of their Sichuan Province townsmen living nearby before the alleged killing in 1998. They were desperate for money.
Qiqi working for a beauty salon was their first alleged victim.
Xiao Hei was a frequent customer of Qiqi and had treated her with much courtesy. He allegedly invited Qiqi to dinner on the evening of October 31, 1998.
She was lured to a silent alley, the two men robbed her of valuables and strangled her when she struggled and screamed.
Her body was thrown into a creek and the two men fled, hiding in six different provinces and regions.
