I am a super cop

Chapter 1081 No Pie in the Sky

"Hi!" The old man Liang Feng became angry as soon as he said that.

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

When Gu Chen asked, 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, "It's the first day, a group of swindlers have entered the village, there are three of them in total."

"After entering the village, under the guise of giving welfare and warmth to our farmers, we give out eggs, toothpaste and other small gifts to everyone we meet."

"The routine used by liars is to use small favors to close the distance first." Lu Weiwei was not surprised, and muttered softly.

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

"You have to know that our Xiaoliang Village has a bad location and is located in the hinterland of the mountains, so we have never been considered rich."

"Moreover, almost all the young people in the village live in the city and rarely go home. Therefore, there are often some business chambers of commerce who come to us to send warmth, and send us a lot of good things every time."

"So the old people in our village saw that they were here to send warmth, and they immediately welcomed them very much, and even brought out fruits to entertain them."

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded silently, carefully recorded the situation, and continued to ask: "Then what happened next?"

"Later... Later, while sending warmth, they told us to gather at the village square at 9:[-] tomorrow, saying that there are better gifts for everyone. If you can bring others, they will send extra eggs."

"Our villagers will be tempted when they hear something is distributed, and in order to ask for an extra gift, they will call on their neighbors, and all of a sudden, the whole village spreads in an instant."

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

The old man Liang Feng said: "The next day, almost everyone in our Xiaoliang Village came to the scene, and not only our Xiaoliang Village, in order to get more gifts, many people in the village also notified the surrounding villages , Many people from other villages also came.”

"Anyway, on the second day, quite a lot of people came."

Officer Wang snickered when he heard the words, feeling that it was an old routine, so he asked again: "So the next day, they will start performing, right?"

"Yeah." An old lady nodded fiercely and said, "Isn't it? The next day, they will start performing."

"It is said to fulfill the promise and give gifts to everyone who comes, but the gifts are more advanced than the first day."

"Advanced?" Yuan Shasha frowned slightly, and continued to ask: "How advanced? What are they?"

"Just... such as towels, teacups, etc., and they also told us the villagers who came to receive the prizes that they would come on time tomorrow, and there would be free things for them. The limit is 100 people."

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

Police Officer Wang smiled teasingly: "It's called being reluctant to let a child catch a wolf. If you don't sacrifice some small gifts, how can you get everyone hooked? This is also called putting a long line and catching big fish."

"Yeah." Uncle Liang Feng agreed with Officer Wang's words very much, and said in a bad mood: "I didn't think about it at the time, and I feel really regretful."

"And I also feel that these people don't give away things for nothing, they always have to do something, but if they give something away, we don't take it for nothing."

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

"So many of us here have actually developed trust in this group of people. On the third day, we will attract more people to come early to receive the prizes, and some even come from the whole family."

Gu Chen wrote and recorded these, 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 seemed to be surnamed Zhu. He said he was a publicity ambassador, and he was indeed eloquent. He was about to start his performance."

"In the beginning, he would introduce us villagers to their amazing mattresses and vests."

"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."

"Hehe, isn't this nonsense?" Lu Weiwei felt that the more she said it, the more outrageous it was, it was completely out of science, or exaggerated.

But after all, everyone is an experienced policeman, so everyone dismisses this kind of fraudulent trick at all.

But the villagers are different.

The villagers here generally have a low level of education and are relatively old. They are almost hard to guard against some newly-baked scams.

After all, the elderly have a lower degree of exposure to new things and a lower ability to prevent risks.

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

Therefore, the elderly in cities generally have a strong ability to prevent fraud.

But this is a rural area, and everyone doesn't seem to pay much attention to the outside world, and few people pay attention to these professional things.

Therefore, Gu Chen speculated that this fraud gang might have chosen Xiaoliang Village, which is a relatively remote village, to attack because of this.

Gu Chen completed these records and continued to ask: "Then what happened after that?"

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

"At the end of the day, these liars will say, tomorrow...it's the same time, and there are bigger surprises waiting for us."

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

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

"In fact, in those few days, we have received a lot of gifts for free, which can be said to have taken advantage of it."

"A lot of people come to listen to the lecture, but they actually have the mentality of receiving gifts. As for what he said, it doesn't matter. What matters is that there are things to receive."

"So on the fourth day, more villagers came, and the surname Zhu first threw out the lead, saying that today's prizes are electric kettles and rice cookers."

"Then I will introduce the miraculous mattresses and vests to everyone, and say that the original price of 9000 yuan is a medical mattress. Today, you only need to pay a deposit of 1000 yuan and issue an authentication certificate."

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

"They told us that we must pay attention to it. Those who paid the deposit only need to bring the appraisal certificate and VIP card tomorrow, and the deposit will be returned in full, and the gift will still belong to you."

"That is to say, 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 same day, these people will come here tomorrow with the certificate of appraisal and VIP card issued by them, and all the deposit will be returned, and these gifts are still given to you, which is equivalent to It’s just for free.”

Gu Chen nodded silently, and said with a faint smile: "Uncle Liang, you should actually pay attention, when the matter has developed to this stage, they are actually setting a trap for you to get inside."

"Because there will be no pie in the sky. They have spent a lot of effort, and they will never work so hard. They deliberately came here to give you warmth, then they must have other plans."

"Comrade policeman, you're right." Another old man named Liang Dong also interjected at this moment: "It's just that we were weak in willpower at that time."

"Because thinking about the past few days, I have already taken advantage of them a lot, and they say that one is one, as long as we sit there and listen carefully, they will give gifts, and they are getting more and more advanced."

"Thinking that people don't care about these at all, we let go of our vigilance at the time."

"But who knew later, they said that they would start charging a deposit in exchange for identification certificates and VIP cards. At that time, I felt that the situation was wrong, so I was wary of them."

"Ah bah." Hearing what Liang Dong said, Liang Feng spurned, "What you said sounds good, why be on guard? If you hadn't been the first to decide to give it a try, our village, and the villages next door, Can they be hooked?"

"At the end of the day, everyone was cheated of so much money, and you, Liang Dong, have nothing to do with it."

Hearing Liang Feng's remarks, Liang Dong immediately became anxious, and retorted: "Why are you on the syllabus again? Oh, I said I'll try, you are greedy, you followed suit, and you put the blame on me Come on? How can there be such a thing?"

"Don't blame you, who do you blame? All of us were absolutely vigilant at the beginning, just thinking about getting some more gifts. After all, they are given for free."

"But you are the one who instigated and spoke good words for them. Now I even suspect that you are their undercover agent, a secret agent lurking in our village."

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

"What? Are you justified in misleading everyone?"

"Are you speaking human language?"

The two of you said something to each other, and suddenly they started arguing again.

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

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

Gu Chen continued to question Liang Feng: "Go on."

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

"After all, if you have paid the deposit and got the certificate of appraisal and VIP card, what will you do if you can't run away the next day? These problems are very realistic, and we also have scruples."

"Although their things look pretty good, it was Liang Dong who said to try and be the first to pay, and everyone followed suit."

"Can this be my fault?" Liang Dong was named, and he said angrily, "I did the calculations in private. After all, the gifts they gave us these days are actually quite expensive. That's it. It can be calculated."

"Think about it, if they don't come the next day and run away with our deposit, it's not worth it for them these few days. It's a car fare, a gift, and so on. In fact, they don't make money. what."

"And people have also said that advertising is just to help merchants promote their brands and increase their popularity. It doesn't matter if they make money or not."

"So I thought, maybe it's true, maybe they think we don't believe it, so they have to collect a deposit, and send us an authentication certificate and VIP card, just to see our sincerity, so what's wrong with my deposit? "

"Okay, I see." Gu Chen understood Liang Dong's psychology, so he asked Liang Feng beside him, "Master Liang Feng, please continue."

"Okay." Liang Feng said in a bad mood when he heard the words: "Although what Liang Dong said is correct, it makes sense, but with his motivating, several villagers who were greedy for petty gains followed suit to pay."

"And those people also said that the purpose of doing this is to get more honest people to experience their company's products. This is the same idea as Liang Dong."

"Although there must have been many people who questioned it at the time, some people would pay a deposit to take things home, and those people also said that they promised to continue to send gifts on the fifth day, at the same time and place."

"So we waited until the fifth day, and many people were wondering whether this group of people would come? Or were they lying?"

"They will come." Gu Chen, who understands the usual routines of these scammers, said bluntly: "After all, these people haven't made any money from you yet, so they won't give up so lightly. They will definitely fulfill their promises face to face. Earn your trust in them."

"Yes." Hearing what Gu Chen said, an old lady immediately affirmed: "Just like what you said, those people really came back on the fifth day."

"And they said that this is called winning the trust of the people, so whether we bought it yesterday or didn't buy it, we all came to see if we would refund the money."

"But what we didn't expect was that this person surnamed Zhu really kept his promise. After the villagers arrived, they would refund the deposit in full to the person holding the appraisal certificate and VIP card on the spot, and asked them to return the mattress and Take the vests home for use."

"That's right." Liang Feng also said in a bad mood, "Because of this action, the people who didn't pay the deposit the day before were greatly disappointed. It feels like a golden opportunity has been missed."

"After all, they really look like they are engaged in brand promotion. They don't make money, they just want to build brand awareness."

"So those who paid the deposit the day before received a full refund with the identification certificate and VIP card, and the things were given to them for their own use. To put it bluntly, they were given to you for nothing. work trust."

"But in this way, many people who didn't pay the money yesterday regretted it. Everyone didn't expect that they would still get cash back, so they rushed to ask if there would be any activities tomorrow."

"So?" Gu Chen asked.

"So? That's why they said that there will be an even bigger surprise tomorrow." Liang Feng said.

Gu Chen recorded these and continued to ask him: "Then on the sixth day, should they start promoting products?"

"Yes." Liang Feng nodded fiercely, and said directly: "This sixth day, it feels like they are just throwing a net to catch fish."

"This group of people surnamed Zhu, after the first five days of publicity, on the sixth day, many villagers in our village, even the next-door village, and the next-door village, came to the old place early with great expectations."

"At this time, the surname Zhu started talking again, saying that the company's marketing method is to promote the product. First pay the deposit, then take the product home, and return it all the next day."

"So with the foreshadowing of the previous few days, we villagers have no doubts in the surname Zhu and his team, and we are rushing to pay the money."

"Everyone happily took the mattresses, vests and the like home, and waited to collect the money the next day."

"After all, you can get so many good things without paying a penny. It looks really good."

"And even if those people don't come, our things are still in our hands, so it's impossible to fly away, right? That's why many people paid the deposit together under the instigation of Liang Dong."

"But until yesterday, those people didn't show up. Now all of us started to panic, and we couldn't get through the phone numbers they left, so many people felt that they were cheated."

After a pause, Liang Feng said again: "But you said you were fooled? This thing is still in our hands, but the person surnamed Zhu didn't show up. He suddenly broke the appointment for the first time. Everyone still didn't know what to do, so we asked someone to take these things away. Take everything you buy to the professional merchants in the town for verification."

"But it's okay without verification. After verification, everyone is stunned. This so-called 1000 yuan medical mattress actually costs 160 yuan per bed."

"And this health vest is even more outrageous, the cost is only 50 yuan each, so at this time we know that we are all cheated, the whole village, and the village next door, and the neighbor next door, almost everyone was deceived. "

"The gang of god-killed guys actually spent a week deceiving us old folks. They are quite wicked."

Speaking of this, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, as if they had suffered a big loss.

At this time, Gu Chen also sorted out the case completely, and probably knew how the whole village was cheated.

Co-authoring is still an old gourd pretending to be new wine, but this time the scam gang has enough patience, and it took a full week to lay out the layout, so that these elderly people will fall into the trap of greed for petty gain step by step.

From the small favors at the beginning, and then increasing the gift chips, we continue to build a so-called sense of trust with these elderly people.

But once people trust strangers easily, these people will see that the time is ripe, plus all kinds of brainwashing of the elderly in the village before, so that everyone believes that this product is really worth the price.

So on the last day, I chose to donate and run away, leaving only these old people who are greedy for petty gains and waiting stupidly.

What made Gu Chen even more dumbfounded was that everyone knew they had been cheated yesterday, but they still had illusions about the liar, so they dragged it off for a whole day before calling the police.
