Legislator Gao Jin Sumei's "big accountant" Zhang Junjie was suspected of absconding before two assistants involved in the Communist espionage case could be taken into custody. The prosecutors and police have been pursuing him for nearly two months, but the case has not yet been found. Yesterday, Gao Jin was interrogated for the first time as a defendant by the National Security Station of the Investigation Bureau and the High Prosecutor's Office for about 8 hours. After the interrogation, she was asked to return without bail and was restricted from traveling abroad. It is understood that the investigation focused on her division of labor among staff and intensive exchanges with China over the years. Gao Jin denied any involvement in the national security law, saying that because of her trust in Zhang Junjie, she was mostly handled by him in the past.

Gao Jin Office Director Chen Zhiqian and former assistant Lin Yijun were suspected of accepting Chinese funds to develop organizations in Taiwan. In September, the Supreme People's Procuratorate approved the ban. It is rumored that the two people have confessed to joining the Chinese camp, but denied being recruited as communist spies, saying that the activity was arranged by Zhang Junjie; Zhang was suspected of absconding before the two people were interviewed, and has not yet been arrested on the 59th day. The high prosecutor believes that Chen and Lin are still at risk of colluding with witnesses and has applied to the High Court to extend their detention ban for 2 months.

It is understood that Gao Jin said during the interrogation yesterday that during the Ma government era, cross-strait exchanges were open and there was nothing wrong with participating in related activities. After she was admitted to the Minzu University of China, she also frequently traveled back and forth to attend high school classes every month. It was pointed out that Zhang Junjie had already served as Gao Jin’s secretary when Gao Jin went to Beijing to take the entrance exam and was admitted to Minzu University of China in the same year. However, when asked yesterday about the staff’s interactions with Chinese high-level officials and the arrangements for their activities, Gao Jin said that because of their trust in Zhang Junjie, they mostly left it to him.

According to the investigation, the national security case involving Zhang Junjie spans a long time. He is suspected of developing organizations in Taiwan for more than 10 years and involves the inflow of Chinese funds. In his early years, Zhang served as the president of the Xia Chao Federation and the secretary-general of the China Unification Alliance. After entering the Gaojin office, he has been involved in exchanges with China and the operation of the association for a long time, including Gaojin leading a delegation to Beijing to participate in the Olympic warm-up performance, and organizing more than a hundred indigenous people to visit Beijing and Yunnan. As the director of the office, Zhang explained the group members and itinerary to the outside world, and has maintained connections with tribes, local representatives and associations for many years.

In addition to asking about Gaojin's previous trips to China one by one yesterday, the investigation also asked her how much she knew about her assistant's interactions with China, who decided on relevant activities, and whether her staff asked for instructions in advance and reported back afterward to clarify Gaojin's knowledge and participation in the relevant transactions. Subsequent investigations will depend on the evidence, and it is not ruled out that Gaojin will be notified of the case again.
