Friday, June 19, 1992 BC was advised that he would be released but prior to doing so the officer in charge wanted to talk with him. BC was asked whether he had any objection to an audio and video recording of the meeting. BC registered no objection.
On Saturday, June 20, 1992 at about mid day, BC was led out of the Quanzhou City Public Security Bureau detention centra to the Quanzhou AIC office. He was taken to a conference room. In the conference room there was no evidence of any recording equipment. Present were three of the staff who had been involved in questioning him together with the court prosecutor's official. BC was interviewed by the AIC Chief of Quanzhou, described as about 50 years of
of age,
age, approximately 5 feet tall wearing
tall wearing gold rimmed glasses. (This individual subsequently identified as MR WAN, telephone 595-236530). The AIC Chief questioned BC concerning Pinkerton, in reply to which BC reiterated that Pinkerton 'e headquarter office was in the U.S. with branches in Asia. BC explained the type of work conducted and emphasised that only legal cases were accepted and all investigations were only conducted in a lawful manner. The Chief questioned BC as to whether he had informed the local authorities before conducting investigations and advised that China had a department to handle such work. On being asked whether the investigation had been conducted openly or in a secret way, BC advised that it been conducted secretly because an open investigation may have resulted in failure. BC had the impression that he was effectively forced to say that this was done out of lack of respect for the Chinese authorities. BC pointed out that in Hong Kong there were no such problems in conducting such investigations.
The Chief stated that BC should tell PETER that if he dared he and FETER could come to meet him. He stated that both would be treated politely and well and added that BC would not be put back in call. The Chief requested that BC provide copies of all documents and the names or copies of all business cards used. He stated that he would provide him with a telephone number, adding that BC should telephone that number to obtain a fax number, but that BC was not to mention the telephone number to anyone. He cautioned BC that he knew BC would return to the FRC and that they also knew BC had family living in the PRC. He said that BC should know what he meant.
