Chapter 182: Officer Mu Talks - Part 3
182 Officer Mu Talks - Part 3
Wednesday, continued …
"Assuming that I get the evidence, given Lu Jinhu's assaults on Madam Hou, and in light of their history Lu Jinhu can be charged here over not only the assaults, but the other acts as of his continued actions here.It is only a new charge, introduced to protect people who leave violent domestic relationships.This charge, is designed to attract some time in jail, and even if not proven or proceeded with the prior history is something the courts have to consider on sentencing."
"You are kidding me."
"When everything started happening this morning, I tried to talk to Inspector Gang about the information this morning, but something caused a changed."
Officer Mu paused, before continuing "Inspector Gang, within the department is known for being corrupt and easily manipulated.He has family connections to senior government ranks, however ensured that any investigation into his actions in the past was thwarted.He was protected by that family, as they seemed not to want their name tarnished which ensured that he remained in place."
"All that was done was to continue to promote him to get him further and further away from day to day contact with the public, and less ability for him to engage in his activities.He apparently knows many people in the highest areas of society here.What I suspect is once reports started to flow in this morning, given his rank he started to access them."
"Given the high profile of Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin, he offered to telephone to speak to Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin about coming in to speak to him.Senior Officer Fang was with him for the call.After that call he was so determined that Madam Hou had to be arrested, charged, and most importantly her laptop, mobile phone, tablet, and your wedding rings and Madam Hou's engagement ring confiscated.He claimed he had been investigating and had evidence that they all belonged to someone else, and he would see them delivered to their real owner today."
Hou Yi interjected "That Laptop.He has an obsession about it.From what I understand it would allow him, if he got access to it, complete access to my wife's Australian employers systems.While I do not have complete knowledge, I know it is no only about client information, but it manages their lawyers trust account where they hold money for clients."
"I know there is currently over seventy million Australian dollars, held by them for the benefit of the Australian subsidiary of Hou Enterprises, with a deal that is to be paid out in the next couple of weeks.There is still a further thirty-five million to be transferred in for the balance of the deal and legal fees.Goodness knows what they would have for other clients."
"That accords with something I overheard Inspector Gang say, that even if he could not permanently give the laptop to them, he would give access in his office.They were planning to use that laptop to access funds belonging to other clients and leave the only traces to Madam Hou.Additionally, I heard him on the phone confirm that he would make sure that she could not walk out after the interview."
Hou Yi paused "Officer Mu, so what are you willing to do.Remember you will have my personal backing and that of Hou Enterprises."
"Sir, I am happy to push the matter of corruption with my superiors.Yes, it is my word against his, but the calls should be able to be back traced, and as part of what I heard guaranteed injuries, it if very god circumstantially.Combined with my investigation that refutes any claims of Madam Hou engaging in criminal activity, I think any charges against her will not occur.It will likely open up an investigation against Lu Jinhu, but whether charges come from it that I could not say."
After receiving Officer Mu's reassurances that he would be willing to push for an investigation into not only what happened today at the police station, both Hou Yi and Office Mu Tong sat quietly in the room, waiting for some news.
Neither of them had an idea of how much time had elapsed, before the nurse that escorted them into the VIP waiting room, returned "CEO Hou, we have the results back from the tests, and Doctor Kung would like to talk to you about what is to happen.Please follow me."
Both Hou Yi and Mu Tong stood up, and followed the nurse back to the trauma room where they had last seen Anna.She was back there, and still seemed out of it.
