扣留 (kòu liú) — to detain; to hold (a person); to confiscate; to impound (goods, documents)

Definizione

扣留 covers both detaining a person and impounding goods or documents — broader than 逮捕 (arrest of a suspect) and 拘留 (hold in custody). For seizing property, it's close to 没收 / 扣押 but emphasizes holding items rather than transferring ownership.
