During the investigation, polices found that suspect Wang launched the Internet baseball gambling site since July 2011. To hide from the investigation, he changed the place every few months and has been moving in and out more than 10 places. He also installed protective programs on the computers so that all the information would be deleted automatically as long as the computer is turned on again after being turned off. However, the policemen wait patiently outside for the suspect and followed him into the house while the computers were still on. Therefore, the policemen could download all the bets, books as well as the login account, password of the website from computer successfully and seize all the evidences. In addition to being transferred to Taichung District Prosecutors Office for investigation, the case also facilitated subsequent trace of other accomplices to maintain public order.
