The first time it happened in Indonesia. A prisoner escaped from a Correctional Institution (Lapas) by digging a 30-meter tunnel, without being detected! The excavation process was carried out for 8 months using simple tools. However, the excavated soil, which is estimated to be the equivalent of 2 trucks, was not discovered. Cai Changpan alias Cai Ji Fan (53), a death row convict for a drug case, escaped from Tangerang Class 1 Prison on September 14. However, Cai's escape was only realized by officers 11 hours later. Based on CCTV footage, Cai walked out of a drain in a residential area outside the prison walls at 02.30 WIB. Then, Cai moved towards his wife's house in Tenjo District, on the border of Tangerang Regency and Bogor Regency. A special joint team was deployed to search for the former Chinese soldier. It is highly suspected that Cai is hiding in the Tenjo forest. Many oddities accompany Cai's escape. How could the excavation process not be detected by officers? How did Cai avoid carbon monoxide poisoning while going through a narrow and very long tunnel? And, how could Cai penetrate the very sturdy prison walls, alone? Aiman traced the escape trail of drug lord Cai Changpan. Arriving in the Tenjo area, Aiman met and interviewed eyewitnesses. Next, Aiman visited Cai's wife's house and found surprising facts! Aiman also explored the vast Tenjo forest, to look for Cai's trail. Finally, Aiman interviewed a member of the House of Representatives from the Gerindra Faction, Habiburokhman, who had conducted a surprise inspection of the Tangerang Prison and found many irregularities there.
