Beijing Youth Daily reported. Zhou’s accomplices were arrested soon after the crime, but he had managed to stay at large until the end of June when Hubei police apprehended him in the southern city of Guangzhou, where he had been hiding, the report said. A viral video showed that as police officers took Zhou away to board a train back to Hubei, he asked his wife to divorce him and remarry.
The video of the fugitive and his wife has been viewed 30 million times on Weibo. When Zhou’s wife hugged him goodbye and cried, he told his sister-in-law: “The divorce agreement is over there, get your sister to sign it. You must persuade her to remarry and not to wait for me.
