the taipei jinghuacheng scandal continues to spread. on the 13th, the taipei district prosecutor's office summoned people's party chairman ko wen-je and taipei city councilor ying hsiao-wei for the second time, questioning ko about the millions of dollars in cash in chen pei-chi's safe and the testimonies of former taipei city government officials lin zhou-min, lin qin-rong, and li de-quan. it is understood that ko and ying still denied the crime, and the two were remanded in custody after the interrogation.

in addition, during the investigation of the jinghuacheng case by the procuratorate, some media outlets broke the news that they had searched and seized the data in ke's usb flash drive that recorded "111/11/1 xiao shen 1500 shen qingjing" and seized hundreds of thousands of yuan in cash from chen peiqi's bank safe, which triggered criticism from the outside world. the northern district prosecutors office split the case into separate investigations into the leak and recently summoned a reporter from a weekly magazine who reported on "xiao shen 1500 shen qingjing". they also summoned two reporters from an online media outlet who reported on the safe yesterday morning for explanation.

as for the pro-green tv station female reporter surnamed ma who also broke the news about "1500 shen qingjing", ma later confirmed that the news came from the "prosecution investigation" and said she was "200% sure". the prosecutors have also issued a subpoena and will summon her to explain in the near future.

the taipei district prosecutors office summoned ko wen-je for the second time to further investigate the safe and chen pei-chi's financial flows. ko, still wearing a yellow prison uniform, entered the district prosecutors office under the escort of bailiffs. when asked by the media, "do you want to plead guilty?" he did not respond.

in recent days, the prosecution summoned witnesses such as lin qinrong, lin zhoumin, and li dequan who were involved in the king wah city case. the relevant witnesses testified that they opposed increasing the floor area ratio of king wah city and had reminded ko that there might be legal liability for profiteering. the testimony was unfavorable to ko, and the prosecution also questioned ko based on these testimonies. it is understood that ko insisted that he did not profit and believed in the professional decision of the urban planning commission. he also denied accepting bribes.

in addition, the prosecutors summoned ying xiaowei for the second time at noon on the 13th to investigate the defendants' and witnesses' statements, the whereabouts of the funds, and whether there were other civil servants involved in the case. however, it is understood that ying denied the crime.

shen qingjing

shen qingjing, chairman of the weijing group, has been detained and denied access to visitors due to his involvement in the jinghuacheng scandal. however, shen's health condition has been poor since he entered the detention center, with vomiting and diarrhea. shen's defense lawyer yue fangru rushed to the taipei district court in the evening to file a petition, requesting bail, hoping that the court would grant him bail on humanitarian grounds.

chen pei-chi said on the 12th that the safe searched by prosecutors contained the original dowry jewelry and cash for children's emergency use. however, dpp taipei city councilor jian shu-pei questioned that the property declaration items were not declared, but now they are announced like squeezing toothpaste; kmt councilor zhong xiaoping believes that failure to declare in accordance with the law is a violation of the law. people's party spokesperson dai yu-wen responded that jewelry only needs to be declared if the value exceeds 200,000 yuan, and there is no problem of false declaration.
