Chapter 184 - Back At The Police Station
Wednesday continued …
Once Anna was taken away by the ambulance, Alister Nang turned to Senior Officer Feng. "I was not going to say anything while CEO Hou was here. Now I need to know what the f**k happened here, and why Madam Hou was not protected. I want to know what the police are going to do about it. And before you say internal investigation, my clients are likely to pursue this matter through all legal avenues, and if you want to avoid ruining your career, give me my answers now."
Senior Officer Fang realised that Alister Nang had been holding back while his clients were present. Now that they were gone, he felt no issue with pulling punches. "Well ..."
"There is no need to pause of think. What in the world happened, that lead Madam Hou injured on the floor?"
"Inspector Gang ..."
"What did he do?"
"Well it is like this ..."
"Stop messing around. I need and want a straight answer now." I will be cooperating with the Internal police investigation, so either talk to me now or find yourself in a whole host more trouble when the investigators get a hold of you
Senior Officer Fang took a deep breath. He had no real idea how the situation had gotten so far out of control. Inspector Gang assured him that it would be a simply task to get this woman to admit her crimes, they would get the items that he said they had to secure and return to their rightful owners, and they would be praised for solving quickly crimes against leading citizens.
How wrong was he to trust Inspector Gang? He was blinded by the promises of advancement should he help Inspector Gang achieve what he needed. He should have remembered that Inspector Gang was open to bribery, and that he only had his position due to family members in senior government positions acting to protect him.
"Mr Nang, Inspector Gang kept asking Miss Jones ..."
"Senior Officer Fang, get it right it is Madam Hou."
"Fine, Inspector Gang kept asking Madam Hou questions about her identity, and the use of various names. After going in circles about that before Madam Hou eventually agrees with Inspector Gang to be called Miss Jones we reached questioning about the theft of items, including a laptop and other electronic devices."
"Inspector Gang by this time was frustrated that Madam Hou had not been cooperating. However he put to her that Australian Court orders stated that these items belonged to Vice-CEO Lu and Madam Hou when requested refused to hand them over. Madam Hou stating to Inspector Gang that she needed to explain the law in Australia as it related to those orders."
"Inspector Gang told her very clearly that Australian Law did not matter, it was the law as it applied here that was the only relevant law. Madam Hou, however, kept baiting Inspector Gang. Eventually he snapped after her repeated provocation throughout the interview and reacted as he did."
Senior Officer Fang paused for a couple of seconds. He knew that he needed to protect himself as much as Inspector Gang to protect his job. He added "Madam Hou, brought the whole situation on herself. She baited and baited Inspector Gang, and she should have known her actions would have caused a reaction. She simply did not care."
"Senior Officer Fang, any good police officer knows not to react to the comments of any person being questioned, whether a victim or and accused. They know to sit, listen and probe to get questions. I am betting that the recordings will show that Inspector Gang did not do this, and that you did nothing to protect a vulnerable person in your care."
Alister Nang paused, knowing the next bit of information was. "I am not stupid. I know that Inspector Gang is suspected of corruption, bribery and illegal activity in relation to numerous cases. I have even heard information that he as agreed to assault prisoners from people who have brought his services, to influence outcomes. The only thing that to date has saved Inspector Gang's career to date is the influence of his family members in the capital."
"They have protected because it protects them, and they have seen to his ongoing promotion. The problem is this time he has chosen to go after the wrong people. CEO and Madam Hou, are unlike those in the past that he has targeted. The will push until an independent investigation occurs into the incident. They have the power and the money to ensure, however long it takes will see it happen."
Alister Nang paused for a few seconds, then continued "The only questions are whose side are you on? And what do you want to do?"
