That discovery last month made the Suitcase Murder one of Taiwan's juiciest crime stories, and it's only gotten raunchier since. The case landed on the desk of Taipei detective Shih Yi-ting, of the force's two-year-old Cybercrime Squad. Shih began by looking at Lin's computer and studying the records of his Internet provider.
