Sunday, continued …

Two police officers walked into the room, which stopped Lu Jingho responding to his lawyer .

"Gentleman, I am Officer Ho, and this is my colleague Officer Kang . We have been a.s.signed this interview . Please give us a minute . " With that the two of them set to placing discs and USB keys into the recording machine, before pressing b.u.t.tons .

"Gentleman, I am Officer Ho, and I am with my colleague Officer Kang . We are here to interview Mr Lu Jingho in relation to a number of offences . Before starting this recording, the only thing that we did on entering the interview room was to previously introduce ourselves . "

"Mr Lu, we do have to apologise for keeping you waiting, however as we believed that it was appropriate for you to arrange legal representation and for it to arrive . Mr Lu, given the time that it has taken if you require a break to use the facilities please let us know at any time .  If you want to speak further with your lawyer, we will terminate the recording until you have had this opportunity . "

Both police officers looked at each other .  They were aware of what happened to Madam Hou that everyone questioning any suspect was being carefully watched to prevent a repeat . They decided to be seen to smother him with kindness to prevent any allegations of mistreatment .

Officer Kang stood up responding to a knock on the door and was handed six bottles of water . He took those to the desk and while offering one to Lu Jingho said "Mr Lu, would you like some water to drink . " The rest of the bottles were placed on the desk and given the shake of Lu Jingho's head he placed the offered bottle with the other bottles on the desk . "If you change your mind, please feel free to take one . "

Officer Ho started "Mr Lu . As you know, you were arrested earlier tonight during a police raid on a warehouse which we believed housed an illegal brothel . At that time, you were located in a room with a young girl who states that she was 16 years of age . Do you have anything to say?"

"The location is simply a club that I attend occasionally .  It has private rooms that members that can use for whatever reasons .  You have to request the rooms in advance, although depending on how they rank you on members.h.i.+p depends on where you sit for the priorities"

"Yes, I was found in a room with a young woman, who mutually agreed to be in the room and to have s*xual encounter . She had convinced me that she was 18 years old and what we were about to do was legal . There was nothing that made me consider that she was under-age and what she agreed to was illegal .  I had no basis to suspect that she was not eighteen, and she consented to our private s*xual activities .

"Mr Lu, that is impossible to believe as the young girl states she is an artist signed to Lu Corporation's Entertainment Division . "

"Officer Ho, from my recollections there are over ten thousand employees of Lu Corporation .  Do you expect me, as CEO, to have personal knowledge of each and every employee, where they are employed and their personal details? I struggle to remember the bates of birth and ages of my extended family, so how can you expect me to know things about every employee . "

"Mr Lu, so let me get this clear, you are denying any knowledge of the venue operating as an illegal brothel . You state that it is a private members club, and that you as a member made arrangements to use one of the rooms in the club, for what you admit was a s.e.xual encounter with who you say is an 18-year-old girl . "

"That is correct . What benefit would I have to lie about anything? My profile in the community would ensure that any lies I make can easily be disproved . "

"Thank you, Mr Lu . By the way do you know who owns the club, and can you clarify its name . "

"We simply call it the Club, and as to who owns it, I have no idea . "

"Are you meaning no ideal of who owns the club of the building?"

"Both . I have absolutely no idea who owns the club, or the building . "

Officer Kang hen spoke "Mr Lu, you mentioned that you were the CEO of Lu Corporation . Do you have knowledge of the real estate that Lu Corporation owns?"

Lu Jingho, despite his lawyer trying to stop him from answering "I do . I would not be a good CEO if I did not know what property that the company owned . "
