More than being secretive about her escape away from the jurisdiction of all government authorities, dismissed mayor Alice Guo had been in full circles in nooks that law enforcement authorities could hardly find. The simple issues regarding her true identity led to many more issues that unmasked the entry into the country of foreigners, mostly Chinese people, some of whom were reportedly with criminal records.
It took so much time and resources for the senate investigating committees to conduct hearings with the aim of finding the truth. In all the hearings conducted, the dismissed mayor was too evasive answering questions. She had a retinue of lawyers providing counsel on how to answer the questions raised by the investigating committee.
Meanwhile, all concerted efforts by law enforcement authorities could only end in mere sightings of the dismissed mayor who started getting sick and unavailable for the hearings. It slow development in tracking the whereabouts of the dismissed mayor became another concern. Even the public who were following the investigation were getting dismayed over the inaction of the law enforcement authorities.
By all indications, the dismissed mayor had good links and connections with government officials who appear too cooperative with her moves. It was not surprising to all observers that the raids being conducted by law enforcement authorities are steps to late than the evasive moves of the dismissed mayor. Reports of the dismissed mayor moving from one lair to another had embarrassed the authorities as they have ample funds to conduct surveillance operations.
The temerity of the dismissed mayor to be forgetful on basic information about her life in the purported farm and the story about her parents and siblings were insulting the intelligence of the people who were keenly following her incredible story. The confusing tales are tough to believe and concerned people started providing information to belie her story about her life in the farm. Indeed, she was a classmate to many in a private school and her story about being under a tutor was a lie.
Surprisingly, her lying before the senate investigating committee was met with kindness as she was only threatened with contempt. She got off the proverbial hook for lying under oath, not being cited with contempt, much more jailed for her dastardly acts. Unlike other resource persons who easily get cited for contempt and held under detention,
With all the kindness and accommodation extended on the dismissed mayor, she surreptitiously packed her things with the help of all her supporters both with her private connections and with her government connections. Finally, she slipped from all government authorities simply with her furtiveness.
