Wednesday, continued ..."When Mr Nang arrived, we were allowed up to CEO Hou"s apartment, and Madam Hou was arrested. Inspector Gang took Madam Hou"s rings off her, and CEO Hou handed over his ring. Mr Nang promised to secure the electronic devices, despite Inspector Gang insisting that then needed to be handed over."
"Madam Hou was handcuffed, and escorted down into a police vehicle, and transported here. She was brought straight into this interview room. Madam Hou insisted that the interview be recorded, and I inserted into the machine 5 DVD and 4 USB to record the interview. Madam Hou was highly combative."
"As a result, the interview went in circles, which frustrated Inspector Gang. I believe that he felt that she was wasting time. All we seemed to cover was what was her name. As we had nothing that confirmed her marriage Inspector Gang insisted that her name was Miss Jones, and she kept insisting that it was Mrs Hou. Eventually she conceded that professional she uses the name Miss Jones, and then even that become an argument."
"We moved to the owners.h.i.+p of the laptop. We advised Madam Hou that we had Australian Court orders that confirmed the laptop was Vice-CEO Lu"s. Madam Hou insisted that she had to explain Australian Law as it applied to the orders. Inspector Gang kept informing her that Australian Law other than ensuring the orders were valid did not apply."
"Inspector Gang made it clear that he had valid court orders that said electronic devices in question belonged to Vice-CEO Lu, and therefore he was ent.i.tled to them and they would be returned to his care immediately. Madam Hou and Inspector Gang kept at each other. I was trying to keep Inspector Gang calm, but Madam Hou"s actions eventually caused a reaction in Inspector Gang."
"Yes, it was an over-reaction, but Madam Hou pushed him to overreact. I cannot, however, say whether or not the deal that he made with Vice-CEO Lu and Madam Lu prompted the reaction. It was at the time of that overreaction that I called for a.s.sistance, and other officers came in, removed Inspector Gang, and Madam Hou was taken away for treatment. Mr Nang, then provided information that altered what we had been advised."
"Thank you, Senior Officer Fang," indicated the senior investigator.
Both investigators talked quietly to each other, before both investigators indicated that at this time, they had no further questions.
The senior investigator, handed Senior Officer Fang, paperwork headed Rights and responsibilities regarding investigation. He then stated "Senior Officer Fang, you will be required to fully read, sign and acknowledge all the rights and responsibilities. However, we now warn you until we finalise our investigations, you are not to talk to any other person about what you have said to us."
"If you reveal anything without authorisation you will face charges for interference in this investigation, and immediately be stripped of your rank and duties as a police officer until further investigations are done. We will, also provide you a transcript and copy of the recording oy your statement. We will require you to sign this, upon its provision. Do you understand this? Will you sign the paperwork?"
"Yes Sir." With that Senior Officer Feng, spent a few minutes reading the paperwork and handed it back to the investigators. "Can I leave?"
"Yes but remember what you have just read and acknowledge."
With that Senior officer Feng stood up and left the room, which was explained on the recording before it was stopped, and all the recordings removed.
The junior investigator, after removing all the recordings from Senior Officer Fang"s interview, secured all the copies with his signed acknowledgement. He replaced the DVD"s and USB"s for the next interview.
The senior investigator signalled to those outside to bring Inspector Gang in for his interview. When he was brought in, he was sat down in the chair.
