"The latest development of the case is that the Chinese police have located Wu Hsin-chung's (吳信中) whereabouts and will immediately deport him to Taiwan after his arrest," Kao Cheng-sheng (高政昇), deputy commissioner of the CIB, told a press conference yesterday.
Wu Hsin-chung is wanted by police in Taiwan for allegedly paying for the murder of Wu Shan-jeou, who was shot dead in his office in Sindian (新店), Taipei County, by a gunman two months ago.
Kao said police forces across the Strait had been cooperating for some time, but that many cases were not made public.
"Sorry, but under the circumstances, we can't make these actions public," he said. "As a result, I cannot tell you when and how this meeting took place between our officers and Chinese police officers."
"But I can tell you that this murder case was the focus of the meeting," he added.
"They [Chinese police] told us that Wu Hsin-chung is still in Guangdong Province and that they will immediately hand him over to us after they arrest him," he said.

Kao said meetings between Taiwanese and Chinese police officers took place regularly in Macau in the interest of combatting crime.
"We meet regularly to discuss all kinds of potential cooperation to enforce the law," Kao said, adding that last year, the Chinese police helped Taiwan by deporting 33 wanted fugitives.
"Our cooperation will stay low-profile but will continue in the future," Kao said.
