During an election campaign held in a mansion hall, a previous healthy 33-year-old man was discovered unconscious in a wooden coverless box. The young man was a worker of a public relations company and was assigned to hide in a 7-ft-long, 2-ft-wide and 2.5-ft-deep topless wooden box. According to the designed scenario, he was made to help rise a big Taiwan-map slogan out of the box, symbolic of “Taiwan on the rise.” He lay at the bottom of the box and a 3-in pipe was pouring dry ice near his right arm.
