The New Taipei City Police Department stated that after receiving the information, the Discipline Team of the Inspectorate Office, together with the Inspectorate Office of the Police Department, immediately launched an investigation. After reviewing surveillance images, interviewing relevant personnel, and collecting relevant evidence, it was determined that the party venue was a newly opened legal audio-visual room in a hotel. The participants were Ruifang branch police officers, vigilante consultants, and cadre couples. During the banquet, the vigilante consultant arranged for his female friends from the singing class to be present. Vigilante cadres are accustomed to looking for messengers. To add to the fun, a female friend brought two middle-aged broadcasters into the audio-visual room to drink and sing for fun. However, during the banquet, the owner's waiter clearly informed that smoking was prohibited on site, repeatedly reminded the venue that the venue was to be used until 10 p.m., and asked people to leave as soon as possible. However, the on-site personnel ignored it and continued to drink and sing. The police, Yi Xing and others got into a quarrel with the owner and did not leave until the owner forcibly turned off the audio-visual equipment.
