With the falsified passport and certifications, he landed a job as an English teacher at a local kindergarten.

However, after several glasses of Chinese baijiu, a Chinese distilled alcoholic beverage, he spilled his secrets to his colleagues and even pulled out his real passport.

He then started a business. After it failed last year, he moved to Shanghai to escape from his high financial debts.

He met a Chinese girl in Shanghai and told her he was the son of a bank manager and was well educated in the West. She believed him and they moved in together.

"His girlfriend wants him to stay in China, but he wrote her a letter during the detainment, saying if she still loves him they could start over again in Hong Kong," Gu said.

The police said the investigation against the six detainees is ongoing.
