Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 133 How to deal with it
Feng Yong's father appeared more composed. After Feng Yong's mother calmed down a bit, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and distributed a few.

“Officer Chen, let’s just consider this money a lesson learned. As long as Xiaoyong remembers this lesson, I think it was a worthwhile deal.”

Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, thinking that this father's speech and insights were quite good.

He simply oversimplified things and underestimated the "mercy" of the fraudsters! They have long since lost their conscience and humanity!
You naively believe that spending money will teach you a lesson and bring you peace, but in their eyes, it's all a joke.

Whenever they encounter a "fat pig" who offers money willingly, they wish they could raise their knife even higher!
They devoured everything, leaving nothing but bones and marrow!
They won't care about the victim's mounting debts, their mental breakdown, or even their suicide; it will only be a source of amusement for them as they celebrate their success.

This is also why Chen Shu notified Feng Yong's parents to come over!
Chen Shu gestured for everyone to sit down.

“There have been countless cases of this kind of fraud in China over the past few years. Our public security organs have also been constantly promoting ‘fraud prevention’ to the public, and have even developed software for this purpose.”

Chen Shu paused, organizing his thoughts: "I think the three thousand yuan that Feng Yong was scammed out of is secondary. The main thing is that at his age, he won't be able to handle the shock afterward. Hmm, they will probably send the video to some people in Xiao Yong's contact list."

Feng Yong's mother wiped away her tears: "The police officer just told me. Xiao Yong filmed that kind of video. With his personality, how can he stay in school? I'm scared just thinking about it. I was just discussing with his father whether we should give them 10,000 yuan."

“It’s not about the money. If you give them 10,000, they’ll ask for 20,000. If you give them 20,000, they’ll ask for 40,000! It’s a bottomless pit!” Feng Yong’s father sighed.

Seeing that his father understood the underlying principles, Chen Shu remained silent and offered no further explanation.

Feng Yong's father hesitated for a moment before asking, "Officer Chen, do you mean they might look for Xiao Yong again?"

Chen Shu nodded: "It's not a possibility, it's a certainty that we will come back to find Xiao Yong through various means and channels."

"Oh dear! Our Xiao Yong!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yong's mother's composure crumbled instantly, and she buried her face in her arms on the table, sobbing uncontrollably.

Chen Shu gave Feng Yong's father a wink, and the two went outside.

After closing the door, Chen Shu pulled Feng Yong's father to the end of the corridor and explained the whole story, including his analysis of the case.

“Feng Yong’s father, I will talk to Feng Yong alone later to clarify things. You should know how to handle the follow-up.”

"I know, I just won't reply unless I give them money. Don't worry, officer."

"Besides this, we also need to cut off Feng Yong's source of funds to prevent him from being scammed further. This kind of fraud could escalate into a series of scams. It's only 3,000 yuan now, but if he secretly takes out hundreds of thousands of yuan in online loans later, your family will be truly ruined."

Feng Yong's father took a deep drag on his cigarette.

Zhongshan Police Station, second floor security office
Before Chen Shu could even mention it to Feng Yong, his parents had already arrived at the station. They simply sat down and chatted with him about the progress of the case and its subsequent handling.

Although in Chen Shu's eyes, Feng Yong, a college student who was over eighteen years old, was just a slightly older boy, Chen Shu treated him with the respect due to an adult when communicating with him about the analysis of the case and its subsequent handling.

"Feng Yong, do you know what to do next?"

"Thank you, officer. I understand. I've already blocked her."

Seemingly thinking of the woman he had been in an online relationship with for a long time, even though he had been scammed, a trace of reluctance still appeared in Feng Yong's eyes.

Upon seeing this, Chen Shu directly pointed out: "According to the cases we have cracked, the so-called female netizens are all accounts operated by men."

Their social media posts are all pre-prepared material, covering everything from bars to hotels, from playing mahjong to gyms—they can easily handle most chat scenarios, with pictures and videos readily available. "These female netizens are actually all burly men!"
Seeing that the police had explained the situation clearly, Feng Yong firmly stated, "From now on, I will not accept any calls or applications from unknown numbers!"

Chen Shu said in a deep voice, "The other party may very well send the video of your nude chat to your classmates and relatives. Are you mentally prepared?"

The image of his own embarrassing actions in the video flashed through his mind, and Feng Yong blushed: "Let them laugh, at worst I'll still be a hero in eighteen years."

Although Feng Yong was joking and speaking in a nonchalant tone, his eyes were focused, a stark contrast to his demeanor when he came to report the case earlier.

Chen Shu abruptly interjected, "If your mother sees this, she might be very sad."

Feng Yong immediately fell silent and said softly, "I transferred three thousand yuan to them earlier because I was afraid my mom would find out. She'd be so heartbroken if she knew."

Chen Shu took out a cigarette from his pocket and offered it to him.

Feng Yong took it instinctively.

"It's normal to make mistakes in life; everyone goes through that. The important thing is to know what you learn from them. It's good that you worry about your mother, but bad people will use that to torment you."

Now I'm asking you, would your mother be more heartbroken to hear that you were scammed out of 3,000 yuan and then see your nude chat video, or to see you tortured to death by bad people because of it?

Feng Yong glanced at his wrist, then looked up at the policeman who was clearly only a few years older than him: "Thank you, officer. I understand. I'll go back and tell my parents about this."

Chen Shu smiled with relief: "Your parents are downstairs. Yes, they have forgiven you."

"what!!!"

Zhongshan Police Station, at the main gate
Chen Shu and Xu Lei stood on the steps, watching the family of three support each other as they left.

The case may be heartless, but people are compassionate. May all be well in the world.

Xu Lei said expressionlessly, "Senior, a good friend of mine has also encountered this kind of thing. Do you have any good advice?"

Chen Shu thought to himself, "Is he really your friend?"

"As police officers, our official response is just one sentence: 'Block us, no reply, no money.'"

Xu Lei held his breath, realizing that his senior brother's next words might be extremely disrespectful.

Chen Shu turned around, patted Xu Lei on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"As your senior, I suggest you first beg the other party to be poor and plead for mercy, implying that you're forcing me to my death to end it all. Then, honestly send them a thousand yuan. Finally, block them firmly to ensure they can't contact you in any way."

"Why???"

Buy some peace of mind.

A sense of helplessness crossed Chen Shu's mind.

Some things are better left unsaid. Readers can ponder them for themselves; this is all Old Xiong can do to help.
