the jinghuacheng case has sparked controversy. former taipei deputy mayor peng zhensheng, weijing group chairman shen qingjing, and ying xiaowei's assistant wu shunmin were detained and denied access to visitors. the three filed a protest. after reviewing the files, the taiwan "high court" (hereinafter referred to as the taiwan "high court") found that the protest was not stamped, signed, or fingerprinted by peng zhensheng himself. after the protest was corrected, the taiwan "high court" ruled to dismiss it on the 6th. on the 5th, shen qingjing was also reported to be "unwell and convulsing all over the body" and was rushed to the hospital for treatment. the taiwan "high court" believed that he was not so sick that he could not be detained. ying xiaowei's assistant wu shunmin was also detained and denied access to visitors, and also appealed. on the 6th, the taiwan "high court" rejected it.

the taiwan high court panel pointed out that the original trial judge believed that peng zhensheng was suspected of committing the crime of seeking profit under article 6, paragraph 1, clause 4 of the anti-corruption act, and that he was suspected of committing a serious crime, so it was necessary to detain him and prohibit him from receiving visitors and communicating with others. therefore, the ruling of detaining him and prohibiting him from receiving visitors and communicating with others was not wrong or improper. the taiwan high court believed that peng zhensheng's appeal was groundless and should be rejected. in view of his current physical condition, he was not seriously ill and could not be detained.

the taiwan high court also pointed out that the taipei city district court (hereinafter referred to as the taipei court) ruled that shen qingjing and wu shunmin were suspected of committing serious crimes, namely, "delivering bribes in violation of official duties" under article 11, paragraph 1 of the anti-corruption act and "receiving bribes in violation of official duties" under article 4, paragraph 1, clause 5 of the same act, and that they were both suspected of serious crimes, and that it was necessary to detain them and prohibit them from visiting and communicating with them. the ruling was not wrong or improper. they also believed that shen and wu's appeals were groundless and should be rejected. although shen qingjing had been under guard for medical treatment, he had returned to the detention center's sickbed for further treatment and was not seriously ill and could not be detained.

the taipei district court pointed out that after shen qingjing learned on august 28 that the anti-corruption officers were coming to search his home, his first reaction was to go to the company immediately. this shows that shen had already been prepared for the prosecutor's investigation. after the prosecution launched an investigation and the investigation was disclosed by the media, shen qingjing contacted ying xiaowei's assistant wu shunmin to discuss the jinghuacheng case and how to state his claims in a consistent manner when investigated by the prosecutor. he also admitted that there was a risk of fleeing, destroying evidence, and colluding with others.

the taipei district court also believes that since wu shunmin attended the hearings under the name of consultant or assistant of ying xiaowei's team, and the two of them also put pressure on the civil servants to handle the case, and wu shunmin and shen qingjing had a long phone call on august 14 this year, but when the two were interrogated by the prosecutor and asked whether they had been in contact, they both said "no". there is sufficient reason to believe that the two of them colluded and it is necessary to detain them.

ying hsiao-wei also formally filed an appeal on the 6th. currently, only former taipei mayor ko wen-je has not yet decided whether to appeal.
