On June 17, 2001, the trustee's residence was checked. No abnormalities were found.
On June 20, 2001, we learned that Qian Yongqiang had purchased a plane ticket back to China. He was scheduled to return on June 23, 2001.
On June 21, 2001, we received a call from Qian Jiaqin. Call recording: 200106211328.mp3.
"Hello, Mr. Qian."
"Mm-hmm, hello, hello..."
"Has something happened?"
"Um... My cousin... Qian Yongqiang, he seems to be coming back to China..."
"Oh, thank you for letting us know."
"Well... I could help you arrange a meeting with him. Could you do me a favor?"
"What can we help you with, Mr. Qian?"
"It's about that report from last time... Could you change what you said? Make it about the security of domestic property owned by people living abroad. Could you do that?"
"I don't see what this has to do with you, Mr. Qian."
"How could it not? Qian Yongqiang can go abroad, but I can't? If something happens, I'll get dragged into it, won't I? And what I said before... It was all hearsay. I was just jealous because his brother-in-law helped him make money, so I made things up. None of it was true!"
"I think we'll need to meet with your cousin before deciding what to write in the report. I can't make any promises right now."
"I'm serious, I'm begging you. Don't make things up, okay? Tell me what you want. I'll agree to anything I can."
"Has something happened to you recently, Mr. Qian?"
"Ah..."
"If you're in trouble, we might be able to help."
"I... Sigh. Anyway, if you write it that way, I won't admit to it. My cousin will sue your newspaper then."
"Mm, I understand."
