[global times reporter meng yuan] according to taiwan's china times news network on september 13, the taipei district prosecutor's office investigated the jinghuacheng scandal and summoned people's party chairman ko wen-je for the second time this morning (13th). they questioned ko wen-je's wife chen pei-chi about the 1 million yuan (new taiwan dollars, the same below) in cash in the safe and the testimony of former taipei city "urban development bureau" director lin zhoumin. ko wen-je still denied seeking benefits and accepting bribes. the trial ended at 12:00 that day. after the prosecutor questioned ko wen-je for 2 hours, ko wen-je was remanded to the detention center. it is reported that ko wen-je will spend the mid-autumn festival in the detention center.

according to the china times news network, at around 9 am today, ko wen-je, wearing a yellow prison uniform, slippers, and with his hands cuffed, entered the taipei district prosecutors office under the escort of bailiffs. when faced with media inquiries, he only looked back and did not respond.

according to reports, in order to investigate whether ko wen-je's "financial flow" had any quid pro quo relationship with the jinghuacheng case, the taipei district prosecutors' office directed the "prosecution affairs officer" and the "integrity commission" on the 11th to go to several branches of taiwan first commercial bank with search warrants issued by the court. they reviewed the records of safe deposit boxes rented by ko wen-je's wife chen pei-chi and relatives and friends, and took chen pei-chi to the bank to open two safe deposit boxes under her name for investigation.

according to reports, in addition to gold and jade ornaments, there was a total of 1 million yuan in cash in chen pei-chi's two safes. chen pei-chi once explained to the taiwan procuratorate the source of the property in the safe. among them, the gold ornaments were the dowry given by her parents when she married ke wen-je, and after her children were born, the gold locks and jade ornaments given by relatives and friends, and the mother-in-law gave her. as for the cash, she kept it for emergency use and had nothing to do with the jinghuacheng case and did not commit any illegal acts. the taipei district prosecutor's office again questioned ke wen-je today to further verify the "money flow" in the safe.

in addition, lin zhoumin testified on the 12th that during the jinghua city case, he had reported to ko wen-je that if the floor area ratio of jinghua city was increased, he might have to bear the "legal" responsibility of profiteering, proving that ko wen-je was suspected of violating the "law" and profiting the viking group. therefore, the prosecutor summoned ko wen-je today and asked ko wen-je to explain this part of the case.

ko wen-je was involved in the taipei jinghuacheng scandal and was ordered by the taipei district court to be detained and denied access to visitors on the 5th. ko wen-je's legal team, including zheng shenyuan, lu zhengyi, and xiao yihong, issued a joint statement on the 9th, saying that ko wen-je has decided not to appeal the detention and denial order (if he is dissatisfied with the original court's ruling and asks the higher court to re-handle it). taiwanese media said that according to the procedure, ko wen-je will be detained and denied access to visitors for two months.
