"I am the second and junior investigator, and my badge number is 426633."

"We also have in the interview a personally lawyer for Hou Yi, the CEO of Hou Enterprises and his wife Hou Anna, Alister Nang.Mr Nang, can you please confirm your presence for the recordings."

"This is Alister Nang."

"Inspector Gang, can you please confirm who you observe in the room?"

"There are two investigators, and a lawyer in the room."

"Thank you, Inspector Gang.Could you please inform us of what occurred this morning before you left the police station with Senior Officer Fang?"

"One of my subordinates, Officer Mu Tong approached myself and Senior Officer Feng about charging Vice-CEO Lu Jinhu and the Yang heiress Yang Lin who is married to Vice-CEO Lu, regarding two separate assaults, one two weeks ago and one last night.According to him, the victim of both assaults was the wife of Hou Corporation's CEO Hou Yi, a Hou Anna, and she was reluctant to pursue charges on the assault 2 weeks ago that occurred at the Key Plaza Hotel."

"I was informed that there were over 15 statements about the assault last night from various well-known society members, that were present at the theatre last night.Madam Lu was alleged to have slapped Madam Hou, and Vice-CEO Lu to have punched her in the stomach six times.I advised Officer Mu, to contact CEO Hou and his wife and inform them it was possible Vice-CEO Lu and Madam Lu would be charged."

"When Officer Mu left, I believed it in the public interest to contact Vice-CEO Lu and Madam Lu, to have them cooperate with the investigation and come in.I wanted to avoid causing a scene.In Senior Officer Fang's presence, I telephoned to speak to Vice-CEO Lu and Madam Lu for this purpose.Before making the call, as I did not want information to be spread throughout the police station, I locked the door so no one could enter."

"In Senior Officer Fang's presence, I outlined the allegations against them to Vice-CEO Lu and Madam Lu.There was nothing unusual by this stage.Vice-CEO Lu, however countered with several allegations against a Miss Jones.He alleged that she was going around calling herself Madam Hou, but there was no wedding certificate issued, and that her version of events were false."

"Vice-CEO Lu stated he had the true footage from the Key Plaza Hotel, which showed Madam Hou's provocation, that caused a reaction; that she had no rights to be in the country; and she was a thief by illegally retaining items that Australia Court had ordered to be handed to him.He emailed to me a copy of court orders that confirmed his statements about the court orders."

"Further, Vice-CEO Lu and Madam Lu confirmed that Madam Lu had made arrangements with Fengs jewellers to retain a one-off wedding ring set.They stated Miss Jones, acted illegally in convincing CEO Hou to persuade Fengs to provide them with the rings which were, in fact, Vice CEO and Madam Lu's.He also claimed that Miss Jones acted to prevent CEO Hou from knowing the true facts about the rings."

"Vice-CEO Lu indicated that if CEO Hou had known it was Madam Lu requesting the rings, due to their past relationship CEO Hou would have provided the rings to them at no cost.Vice-CEO Lu indicated while it as them who suggested they be given the rings at no cost, it was reasonable given what happened.I viewed it as somewhat strange as jewellers usually sell to the first person who will pay for the item, but Vice-CEO Lu indicated that what they did was not unusual at Fengs."

"Senior Officer Fang listened to the conversation intently.When Vice-CEO Lu informed us that it was imperative that the laptop be secured immediately and provided to him today, and the rings to follow as soon as possible, did he become involved and made his presence in the room known."

"Senior Officer Fag was careful not to directly say it but made it very clear to Vice-CEO Lu that he would do this, and rough up Miss Jones for a price.As it was only implied, it was difficult for me to prevent the deal occurring.It occurred before I realised it, and given I was the one who instigated the call and my own past history, I knew that Senior Officer Fang would accuse me of illegal actions."

"Despite feeling trapped, based on the various documents Vice-CEO Lu emailed to me as we were discussing matters on the phone, I called Officer Mu and requested him to arrest Miss Jones.I informed him to secure certain electronic devices and the rings.This was on the basis that I wanted nothing to happen with them until the issues could be resolved.Senior Officer Fang and I, given the change in circumstances, then travelled to CEO Hou's apartment."
