378 Not Just another Friday - Part 3

Friday, continued …

9am, Police Headquarters

Lu Jinhu, accompanied by three armed corrections officers entered the police station for his pre-arranged interview.He was quickly escorted into an interview room with a corrections officer and two police officers, one of whom was Officer Mu, who was inserting the discs and USB sticks into the recording machines and starting the recordings.

"Mr Lu, you asked for this interview what can we do?You are aware that you are entitled to a Lawyer present?"

"I am aware, but I am waiving that requirement as given the terms of house arrest we have limited access to funds and any lawyer will be employed by my father, resulting in this case in a conflict."

Pointing to the corrections officer, he continued "As this gentleman or his colleagues can confirm I had a visit yesterday from my father, in response to his detention after an incident involved Hou Yi, which I understand occurred on Wednesday."

"Yes Mr Lu.What do you want to say?"

"Well, from what he told me, you are looking at him over two matters, an attempt to blackmail CEO Hou, and the use of photographs involving his wife."

"So, …"

"It would not be surprising that my father, given my former relationship with Miss Jones has many photographs and film clips involving her, starting from our time at the same university college.I could not be specific on what he has.I advised him of the restraining order, and his needs to comply with it."

"Speaking to my father yesterday, I realised that I may have made a mistake in talking to him about the restraining order, after I spoke to him and corrections staff yesterday.It was my mistake in warning him not to do things that could reflect on us not to use the material that I had sent him over the years involving Miss Jones.I really did not think that using anything he had in his possession from before the restraining order came into place would be a breach, which I gather he did use.But it appears it is a breach, and in reality it was unintended by my father, and is my fault as I did not clarify what would breach the order and tell him.."

"Mr Lu, thank you for being honest.Assuming your father backs up your statement, I would be recommending that neither of you are charged with breaching the order.It appears you have made an honest mistake.The next time that this happens, there will be no leniency."

"Thank you sir."

"Now while you are here, we need to clarify something, and I would appreciate your cooperation.The two officers involved in the assault of Madam Hou, have their hearings in the capital on Monday.They each blame the other.Given that you cannot be further prosecuted for what happened, would you be willing to cooperate further?"

Lu Jinhu paused, he knew he had kept his ace up his sleeve to try and restrain his father, and so far did not need to play it.

"Sir, when the two officers called we explained the situation from our perspective. I made it clear that I was after certain items, and advised them if they secured them I would show my appreciation.My intention was to provide something to benefit the whole police station, not them at all.Even a sum of money that could be used to help people in need.Nothing was agreed to, but it appears there may have been a misinterpretation of our words."

"We did not talk to them about hurting Miss Jones.It might be that one of the offices may have suggested it, but I cannot recall if that was the case.It might have been the officer named Fang, but I am not certain.One thing that they asked for was dates, particularly as to when Miss Jones and I moved in together.I was not certain, but I could recall telling my parentsso I suggested telephoning my father who most likely would have the exact date as Lu Corporation records would have been changed to reflect that new address."

"As to what occurred in the conversation they had with him, I have no idea.All I had done was message him to let him know the police would contact him to confirm the date when Miss Jones and I moved in together, and that he otherwise answer their questions honestly.We both had doubts as to the validity of the claim of Miss Jones and CEO Hou being married, and at the time we were investigating this as no public information provided actual confirmation of their marriage."

"Without that confirmation my view was that she had obtained the orders in Australia through false representations which would have ensured that she would have been dealt with the legal authorities in Australia.Do you have any more questions.My wife has a doctors appointment at 10:15am, and the corrections officers want to get me there for that."

"No thank you Mr Lu."Officer Mu stopped the recording, and handed copies to Lu Jinhu and the corrections officer, as they were leaving.

Once they had left, Officer Mu turned to his fellow officer and said "That was utterly useless.I am guessing his father put the pressure on him regarding Wednesday, as unless we can shake them, neither will be dealt with for breaching the restraining order as well as reducing the attempted blackmail matter to something lesser, unless we are able to prove what he used was faked, because we cannot confirm when he received it."
