The incident continued to arouse the netizens' curiosity.
The Chief Secretary was unhappy with the bad press so he made a call to the relevant law-enforcement department.
Consequently, the law-enforcement department got a thorough lecture, causing them to then transfer the blame onto tourists. They wrote a post on Weibo that read, "When tourists encounter a problem, they conjure up conspiracies rather than trying to resolve the issue."
They had done so to control public opinion.
However, some of their chosen words were controversial and unexpectedly to them, many different interpretations started to circulate ever since their opinion was posted.
Those who agreed with their statement praised them for 'allowing the deaf to hear the ruckus'; those who did not, used the phrase, 'the demeanor of the fellow robbers' to mock the law-enforcement department.
