"Hi!" The old man Liang Feng got angry when he said it.

The village had just been defrauded of so much money, and he had nowhere to vent his anger.

When Gu Chen asked this question, he was also trying to calm down so that he could calm down as soon as possible.

Gu Chen was not in a hurry, and after waiting for him for a few seconds, the old man Liang Feng replied: "This is the first day, these liars have entered the village, there are three of them in total."

"After entering the village, under the guise of providing welfare and warmth to our farmers, they gave out eggs, toothpaste and other small gifts to everyone they met."

"The trick used by scammers is to first use small favors to close the distance." Lu Weiwei was not surprised and murmured softly.

Liang Feng continued: "They gave us things and were very kind."

"You have to know that our Xiaoliang Village is not well-located and is located in the hinterland of the mountains, so it has never been considered wealthy."

"Also, almost all the young people in the village live in the city and rarely go home. Therefore, some enterprises and chambers of commerce often come to our place to send warmth, and they always send us many good things."

"So when the old people in our village saw that they were coming to bring warmth, they immediately welcomed them and even brought out fruits to entertain them."

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded silently, carefully recorded these situations, and continued to ask: "What happened next?"

"Later... later, while sending warmth, they told us to gather at Cuntou Square at 9:30 tomorrow. They said they would have better gifts for everyone. If they could bring other people, they would also send extra eggs."

"Our villagers will be excited when they hear about the gift, and they will call the neighbors to ask for one more gift. At this time, the whole village has spread the news in an instant."

"So the next day...how many people came from you?" Gu Chen asked him.

Old man Liang Feng said: "On the second day, almost everyone in our Xiaoliang Village came to the scene, and it was not just our Xiaoliang Village. In order to get more gifts, many people in the village also notified several other surrounding villages.

, a lot of people came from other villages."

"Anyway, there were quite a lot of people coming this second day."

Officer Wang snickered when he heard this, feeling that it was an old routine, so he asked again: "So they are going to start the performance the next day, right?"

"Yeah." An old lady nodded fiercely and said, "Isn't it true? They started performing the next day."

"It's to fulfill the promise and give gifts to everyone who comes, but the gifts are higher than those on the first day."

"High-end?" Yuan Shasha frowned slightly and continued to ask: "How high-end? What are they?"

"Just...such as towels, teacups, etc., and they also told us villagers who came to receive the prizes that if we come on time tomorrow, there will be free gifts. The limit is 100."

"Hey, these people are really willing to spend a lot of money?" Lu Weiwei also exclaimed when she heard this.

Officer Wang smiled teasingly: "It's called being reluctant to let go of the child to trap the wolf. How can we get everyone to take the bait without sacrificing some small gifts? This is also called putting a long line to catch the big fish."

"Yeah." Uncle Liang Feng agreed very much with Officer Wang's words and said angrily: "I didn't understand it at the time. I feel really regretful."

"And I also feel that these people don't give away things for free. They always have to do something. But if they give things away, we won't take it for free."

"So on the third day, their gifts were indeed upgraded and even higher than those on the second day."

"So many of us here have actually developed trust in this group of people. On the third day, more people will come over early to receive the prizes. Some even come with whole families."

Gu Chen recorded these in writing and continued to ask him: "What happened after the people came? What tricks did they perform?"

"After the people came? After the people came, the leader, whose surname seems to be Zhu, said that he was a publicity ambassador, and he was indeed a eloquent speaker. He was about to start his performance."

"At the beginning, he would introduce their magical mattresses and vests to us villagers."

"It is said that the magic mattress can treat arthritis and cervical spondylosis, and the vest is a health care product that can protect our cervical spine."

"Haha, isn't this nonsense?" Lu Weiwei felt that this was getting more and more outrageous, completely out of touch with science, or exaggerated.

But after all, we are all experienced police officers, so we don't give a damn to this kind of fraud.

But the villagers are different.

The villagers here are generally less educated and older, making them very difficult to guard against some of the latest scams.

After all, the elderly are less exposed to new things and have a lower ability to prevent risks.

In urban communities, the police will constantly update new anti-fraud propaganda posters on the public bulletin boards of almost every community.

Therefore, elderly people in cities generally have stronger ability to prevent fraud.

But this is a rural area, and people don't seem to pay much attention to external affairs, and few people pay attention to these professional things.

Therefore, Gu Chen guessed that this fraud gang may have chosen Xiaoliang Village, a relatively remote village, to attack because of this.

Gu Chen recorded these records completely and continued to ask: "What happened next?"

"Later?" The old man Liang Feng hesitated for a moment, thought carefully for a few seconds, and then said: "Then I remembered that we villagers can get these small prizes as long as we sit there and listen to the man named Zhu for an hour.

."

"Towards the end, these liars will say that tomorrow... it will be the same time, and there will be even bigger surprises waiting for us."

"So on the fourth day, they lost their composure and started to attack you?" Yuan Shasha asked.

The old man Liang Feng shook his head: "At this time, most of us are still wary. We feel that these people must have other agendas."

"Actually, we have received a lot of free gifts in those few days, which can be said to be a big advantage."

"Many people come to listen to the lecture, but they actually have the mentality of receiving gifts. As for what he talks about, it doesn't matter. What matters is that there is something to receive."

"So on the fourth day, more villagers came, and the man named Zhu first introduced the prize by saying that today's prizes were electric kettles and rice cookers."

"Then I will introduce the magical mattress and vest to everyone, and say that the original price of the therapeutic mattress is 9,000 yuan. If you buy it on the spot today, you only need to pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan and issue an appraisal certificate."

After thinking for a while, the old man Liang Feng said again: "There is also that health vest with an original price of 598 yuan. It is said that you only need to pay a deposit of 300 yuan to purchase it on site, and a VIP card will also be issued."

"They told us that we must pay attention to that as long as those who paid the deposit come here tomorrow with the appraisal certificate and VIP card, the deposit will be fully returned, and the gifts will still be yours."

"That means these things are given to you for free?" Officer Wang asked.

The old man Liang Feng nodded fiercely: "Yes, that is to say, those who paid the deposit on the day, come tomorrow with the appraisal certificate and VIP card issued by them, the deposit will be fully refunded, and these gifts are still given to you, which is equivalent to

It’s just given to you for free.”

Gu Chen nodded silently and said with a faint smile: "Uncle Liang, you have to pay attention. When things develop to this stage, they are actually setting a trap for you to get in."

"Because there is no pie in the sky. They have put in a lot of effort, but they will never work so hard. If they deliberately come here to give you warmth, they must have other motives."

"Comrade police, you are right." Another old man named Liang Dong also interjected at this time: "It's just that we people at that time had relatively weak willpower."

"Because I have taken advantage of them a lot in the past few days, and they are a group of people who say one is one. As long as we sit there and listen carefully, they will give us gifts, and they are getting more and more advanced."

"Thinking that people didn't care about this at all, we relaxed our vigilance at that time."

"But who knew later, they said they would start charging a deposit in exchange for the appraisal certificate and VIP card. At that time, I felt something was wrong, so I was wary of them."

"Ah bah." After hearing Liang Dong's words, Liang Feng sneered and said, "What you said sounds nice. Why should you be wary? If you hadn't been the first to decide to give it a try, our village, as well as the villages next door, would have

Can they take the bait?"

"In the final analysis, everyone has been defrauded of so much money, and you, Liang Dong, can't escape your involvement."

Hearing what Liang Feng said, Liang Dong immediately became anxious and retorted: "Why are you on the line again? Oh, I said I would try, but you were greedy. You followed suit and put the blame on me.

Come on? Where can such a thing happen?"

"If you don't blame me, who do you blame? We all were absolutely vigilant at the beginning and just thought we could get more gifts. After all, they are given for free."

"But you instigated it and said good things to them. Now I even suspect that you are their undercover agent and a spy lurking in our village."

"Hey! Why are you a spy? I think you Liang Feng did it on purpose, right?"

"What? Are you still justified in misleading everyone?"

"Are you speaking human language?"

The two of them were saying something to each other, and suddenly they started to quarrel again.

Gu Chen coughed twice and then loudly stopped him: "Okay, everyone, be quiet. Our police are here to help you investigate the case, not to listen to your quarrels."

Feeling that Gu Chen was a little angry, several old ladies from the countryside immediately urged the two of them to calm down, and then they gave up and turned their heads to one side.

Gu Chen continued to question Liang Feng: "Keep talking."

"Okay." Liang Feng nodded and said helplessly: "When they made these requests, we were all wary."

"After all, what if you pay the deposit, get the appraisal certificate and VIP card, and you run away the next day? These problems are very real, and we also have concerns."

"Although their products looked pretty good, it was Liang Dong who said he would give it a try and be the first to pay, so everyone followed."

"Can you blame me?" Liang Dong was named, and he said angrily: "I settled the accounts privately. After all, the gifts they gave us these days are actually quite expensive.

It can be calculated."

"Think about it, if they don't come the next day and run away with our deposit, then it will be very uneconomical for them these past few days. They have spent money on transportation, gas, and gifts. In fact, they have not made any money.

ah."

"And people have also said that it's just advertising. They just help merchants promote their brands and increase their visibility. It doesn't matter whether they make money or not."

"So I thought, maybe it's true. Maybe they thought we didn't believe it, so they asked for a deposit and sent us an appraisal certificate and a VIP card just to see our sincerity, so what happened to me paying the deposit?

"

"Okay, I understand." Gu Chen understood Liang Dong's psychology, so he asked Liang Feng next to him: "Uncle Liang Feng, please continue talking."

"Okay." When Liang Feng heard this, he also said angrily: "Although what Liang Dong said is right and reasonable, he led several villagers in the village who were greedy for petty gains to also pay."
