Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an faced questions from reporters regarding his absence from a memorial service for a female employee of the escape room business "Logic Child." The service was held on June 1, 2026, at the Huai Ai Hall.

Chiang arrived at the City Council for a political inquiry around 1:28 PM. He readily answered multiple questions about Nvidia, the Wenhua Line, energy, and school lunches. However, when asked by reporters if he had any words regarding the memorial service for the deceased employee, he did not respond.

Despite reporters pressing him a second time, asking "Mayor, you're not responding about the memorial service?" Chiang remained silent and quickly proceeded to the second floor for the council session. The memorial service saw many friends and relatives of the deceased employee in attendance, along with lawmakers Miao Poya, Chang Chih-hao, and candidate Chen Sheng-wen. It appeared that no city government officials were present.
