The investigation process at the police department was obviously held up. The officer on this case from the Pre-Trial Section had been avoiding meeting Mr. Liu's lawyers and his family. On September 15, 2009, when his son went to the police department to ask about the case, he was told it had been transferred to the Procuratorate.
