One masseuse allegedly proclaimed that authorities had just conducted a spot-check the day before, so "it's very safe today", Shin Min Daily News reported on Saturday Feb A Shin Min Daily News reader surnamed Zhang, 55, told the paper in a tip-off that she would often see sexily-dressed women in revealing outfits approaching men outside the shop located on the third floor.
A video which was supplied to Shin Min showed one of the women dressed provocatively in a red dress, laughing as she lightly touches a middle-aged man on the arm. Another photo showed the woman appearing to adjust her top while in conversation with the man. A year-old man who was interviewed by the Chinese evening daily affirmed that at least one shop one the third floor provides "special services" of a sexual nature.
The man, surnamed Yu, told Shin Min that he'd gone into the shop intending to get a normal massage. However, he was swiftly led into the back of the shop before the masseuse turned off the lights, closed the doors and drew the curtains. The woman then asked him what service he would like while touching him suggestively. She also informed him of the price list for the different offerings.
The woman merely sneered and told Yu: "There was a check just yesterday, they won't come today. You can rest assured and enjoy the service. Yu shared that when he insisted in not taking up any of the special services, the woman's demeanour changed. The woman later told Yu that a regular massage takes more effort and the earnings are meagre, so she does not entertain customers who only want a massage.
According to the Shin Min, there are at least 20 massage parlours on the third floor of the mall alone, with a line of dolled-up women sitting outside and within the shops.
