Taiwanese woman arrested at Haneda with record haul of ‘zombie tobacco’ hidden in whiskey bottles
TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police have arrested a 23-year-old Taiwanese woman for allegedly smuggling three kilograms of a liquid containing the designated drug etomidate — street name “ zombie tobacco ” — into Japan, reports TBS News (Sep. 15).
Tokyo police on Tuesday announced that the confiscation marks the largest seizure of liquid etomidate in the nation’s history.
The suspect, Lu Xiangling, described as unemployed and of no fixed address, is accused of violating the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act and the Customs Act.
According to police, the woman conspired with accomplices to smuggle the illicit liquid into Japan on September 9. She boarded a flight from Malaysia, stashing the drugs inside her checked suitcase.
She was formally placed under arrest the following day.
During questioning, the woman denied criminal intent, claiming she was acting as a blind mule. “I just brought it over as a part-time job and didn’t know what was inside,” she told investigators. “I was supposed to receive a reward of tens of thousands of yen.”
The plot unraveled upon arrival, when Haneda International Airport customs officials inspected her luggage and discovered the liquid concealed inside premium whiskey bottles.
The suspect told police she received instructions from an accomplice she met through social media. Authorities are now analyzing her communications and investigating the wider smuggling ring behind the operation.

东京（TR）——据TBS新闻（9月15日）报道，东京警视厅逮捕了一名23岁的台湾女子，她涉嫌走私3公斤含有指定药物依托咪酯（俗称“僵尸烟草”）的液体进入日本。
东京警方周二宣布，此次查获行动是日本历史上最大规模的液态依托咪酯缴获行动。
嫌疑人卢祥玲被描述为无业且无固定住所，她被指控违反了《药品和医疗器械法》和《海关法》。
据警方称，该女子与同伙合谋于9月9日将非法液体走私到日本。她从马来西亚搭乘航班，并将毒品藏在托运行李箱中。
第二天，她被正式逮捕。
在审讯过程中，该女子否认有犯罪意图，声称自己只是个盲人骡子。“我只是把它当成兼职带过来的，根本不知道里面是什么，”她告诉调查人员，“我应该能拿到几万日元的报酬。”
阴谋在她抵达时败露，羽田国际机场海关官员检查她的行李时，发现了藏在高级威士忌酒瓶里的液体。
嫌疑人告诉警方，她通过社交媒体结识了一名同伙，并接受了其指示。目前，当局正在分析她的通讯记录，并调查这起走私案背后更大的团伙。
