"Big Bey, 23 years old, designer from San Francisco." This is a personal introduction to a girl on a paper airplane (Telegram). In the portrait, she looks sweet and childish, wearing curly chestnut hair, wearing a suspender shirt, and her cleavage is covered with a veil.
"She" has another identity - a dog push in cambodia's Seven Star Sea. Gender, male.
In the takeaway group, Dabei and his peers with fictitious identities and names, using crude Chinese nonsense to go to the massage room to "catch dragon tendons" after work, or go to the song hall to "touch and sing". The crowd roared at him to entertain him, and Dabei complained bitterly: "I have a salary of less than $2,000 a month, and I have a wife and children at home." ”
Seven Star Sea is a new tourist resort in Cambodia, located opposite the sea of "Sihanoukville" ("WestPort"). The area of Xigang is comparable to that of Shenzhen, but the population is only 80,000, and under the favorable policies, it has attracted a large number of overseas gold prospectors. Hun Sen, who has been re-elected prime minister of Cambodia for four consecutive terms, has envisioned making Westport an international metropolis on par with Singapore.
Under the blue sea and blue sky, the influx of hot money is the first to flow to the high-return real estate and gaming industry. In 2017, when gambling became legal, the Cambodian government issued licenses to 75 businesses. With more and more casinos opened, Westport gradually became a paradise for gamblers, and the social order was seriously affected.
On August 18, 2019, the Cambodian government issued a "no-gambling order" – prohibiting all forms of online gambling activities at home and abroad, vowing to curb the momentum of gambling. Unfortunately, greed and corruption have long since corrupted this suddenly wealthy land, and the barbaric gambling industry has shifted from above ground to underground.

The fraud syndicate that sneaked from China to Cambodia took advantage of the situation to rent a building in Xigang, adopted closed management, equipped with strict security, and called it the "Digital Industrial Investment Park" (hereinafter referred to as the "Park"). Dog Tui is a new force in the park, often using fraudulent means to trick netizens into investing, gambling, and squeezing out their money. According to Japanese media reports, the annual revenue of Xigang online games is between $3.5 billion and $5 billion, of which 90% comes from online gambling.
Huge profits have spawned luxury and raised prices in Westport. A bowl of white porridge for breakfast is $1 (6.8 yuan) and a beef noodle is $8. For a good meal, spicy crab costs $38 a serving and white-seared shrimp costs $36. You know, Cambodia's per capita GDP in 2021 is only 1730 US dollars, which is equivalent to 32 yuan per day.
Dabei hinted at the supervisors in the group to entertain. Just as we were chatting about ourselves, a message flew in: "I have not opened a guest for thirty thousand words today, and I really envy you for being free and carefree." ”
There are more than 20 buildings in the first phase of Westport Chinatown "Kaibo Park", known as "China Prison", and you can't get out of it. The dog push level is clear, and only the supervisor and above can enter and exit the park at will. The newcomers laughed at themselves as "dog legs", and as soon as they arrived at the park, their passports were immediately taken away and they lost their personal freedom. Once the dog leg makes performance, it will be promoted to team leader, big team leader, supervisor, and it is expected to become a shareholder.
"In Cambodia, you can get everything you want with money." Wu Zhuoming, who has been engaged in dog personnel for two months, said. He is now a volunteer at an institution in Cambodia and a businessman in Cambodia, and he is not shy about mentioning his past experience.
The Philippines was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the capital, Manila, imposed a curfew in March 2020. Wu Zhuoming, who opened a takeaway shop, had a dismal business and retreated. Flights to China were all cancelled, and the online gambling company "KOK" happened to be chartering flights from the Philippines to Cambodia. "Dog Personnel" wants performance, and Wu Zhuoming, who is familiar with him, acts as a head and hitchhiks on the condition that he enters the park to work for three months.
Just entered the company, Wu Zhuoming, who was "panicked in his heart", was assigned to the personnel post, and baodila 3 people per month. Douyin, WeChat, QQ, Momo and other social software he uses, but also in 58 city, Baidu Tieba and dating website and other platforms to publish overseas recruitment advertisements, "the information is fictitious." He also looks for intermediaries in China, Thailand and Vietnam to help, all walks of life, understand Chinese, recruit a person to give 10,000 to 20,000 yuan commission (in 2022 the market price rose to 10,000 to 20,000 US dollars), "it can be said that it is a seller"; He received a commission of 2,000 yuan, "the industry is in good order." ”
Chat history in the takeaway group (screenshot of Lu Xixi).
Wu Zhuoming sends messages every day to greet strangers on the other end of the phone, "more attentive than the boyfriend and girlfriend who are in love." He packaged himself as a generous boss, staying in a luxury hotel, driving a yacht to the sea, and accompanied by Vietnamese girls. Everything is actually an illusion, and the photos and videos were stolen by Wu Zhuoming from social media. The majority of those who voluntarily come to collect gold, and some people are deceived by high salaries. "Those who are not greedy will not be deceived. Poor children who want to make a little more money are the most likely to be deceived. ”
Limited by the primary school culture, Wu Zhuoming used the computer to play games OK, typing was slower, and no one was recruited. After two months of mixing, the company told him to leave. Because of his good relations with personnel, he lost more than 10,000 yuan of air ticket money and 30,000 or 40,000 yuan of food and accommodation (RMB), he was not scolded or beaten, and he regained his freedom.
Wu Zhuoming was lucky. Under normal circumstances, dog pushes that have no performance or do not want to do it will be secretly sold to the next family by personnel, even if it violates the company's regulations. Once the hand changes, the payout doubles, the higher it sells, and finally "is there still a chance to live?" Wu Zhuoming sighed.
Unable to afford the high payout, dog pushes chooses to run away. "In the eyes of ordinary people, these people are fraudsters, who cares if they live or die?" One of the guidelines of the charity association is "to save the emergency and not to save the poor", even if the family asks for help from the benevolent people in Cambodia, they will at most refer the case to the embassy or the general police department and other official agencies to avoid provoking the fire, "Everyone comes here to make money, and they don't want to offend the park." Wu Zhuoming's words were crisp in texture and revealed another kind of truth in Xigang.
Liu Yiran, who sells fruits in Mupai City near Vietnam, closed his store in July 2021 due to epidemic prevention and control. Preparing to go home, he bought two tickets to return home and was cancelled.
Nestled in a high-priced hotel room in Phnom Penh, bearing a lot of expenses every day, Liu Resolute planned to find something to do. In the ticket group, a Sichuan compatriot Tu Qiang took the initiative to contact Liu Yiran, provided a cheaper rental house, and asked him to go to the construction site to help.
The miscellaneous salary is only enough for pocket money, and Liu Resolute plans to change jobs. He posted on the Cambodian single network (a platform serving the local Chinese community), and soon received a job offer from another fellow: to make a report to the hotel, count the supplies out of the warehouse and into the warehouse, 8,000 yuan a month. Liu Yiran didn't believe it at first, and his hometown mouth was grinding endlessly, "He said, 'You don't need to bring your suitcase and passport, go to see it first, you can leave at any time if you are not satisfied.'" Liu Yiran thought about it, this is the truth.
The fellow called for a car to pick him up, drove for ten minutes, and turned into a trail. "I didn't feel right and wanted to get out of the car, but it was too late." The car rushed into a wall, the security guard closed the iron door, and the three- or four-meter-high barbed wall blocked the retreat, "it can't be turned out at all."
Liu Resolutely left a heart eye and pretended to want to go to work. After doing the nucleic acid test and arranging the accommodation, he immediately contacted Tu Qiang with his mobile phone, "Come and save me." After Tu Qiang finished exploring the road and found the location of Liu Yiran, he reported the case together with Chen Baorong, the captain of the China-Cambodia Volunteer Team, who was still free of movement at that time.
Suddenly, four people broke into the room, and Liu Resolute thought that he was "dead", and his body seemed to fall into an ice cellar, sweating coldly.
"Did you call the police?" The other side is fierce.
"I... It's the alarm. Liu Yiran lied, he did not know whether the people outside had acted.
"Lose $7,000 and let you go." Liu Yiran heard the other party say this, and then suddenly understood that he had been sold by his fellow countrymen.
Captain Chen arrived at the park with the police at the right time and constantly put pressure on the release of people inside. Under the glue of the two phases, the "dog personnel" was afraid that things would make a big fuss, so he took Liu Yiran downstairs and let him go.
In the two years since coming to Cambodia, Liu Yiran is still the first time that he has encountered something that endangers his personal safety. He was lucky enough to escape, but someone stayed there forever.
Yu Juanjuan went abroad for the first time, to Cambodia, in order to dispose of her son's body.
She clearly remembers that the day of her son's outstanding event was November 28, 2019, 11 days before his 19th birthday. Leaving behind the "Left-behind Children's Home" she founded and holding a passport that had been prepared in advance for artistic exchanges, Yu Juanjuan hurriedly boarded the plane the next day.
Cambodian girls have dark skin and long and curved eyelashes, but Yu Juanjuan has no time to appreciate, and as soon as she arrives at the airport, she is picked up by her son's friend Chen Liang to the park. Liu Dong, who claimed to be the head of the company, soon appeared and found an excuse to slip away, leaving Yang Huahong to clean up the aftermath. He was the one who called to inform Zhou Yujie of his death, "Speaking weakly, unresponsively, and looking at it is a cushion." ”
Yang Huahong wrote about the last side of seeing Zhou Yujie (Remake of Lu Xixi).
Zhou Yujie's body was transported from WestPort to Phnom Penh and temporarily stored in the cold storage of a temple. "His right wrist was broken. The body has been beaten and kicked. "The only possible fatal wound is a hole in the jawbone near the neck.
The local investigation was "suicide by falling from a building", and as for the stabbing wound, which was about 1.5 centimeters in diameter, the police officer said that it was accidentally scratched by a window or a hole in a tree during the fall.
Yu Juanjuan firmly believes that her son was murdered. Zhou Yujie wrote in her palm, "Mom and Dad, I love you, I'm sorry for you..." Similar to the words of the suicide note, but in her eyes, "it has nothing to do with suicide."
Every seventh, second, and third seven, Yu Juanjuan would visit her son and tip some tips to the temple guards to get the opportunity to be alone with her son.
The weather is hot, the thin frost is melting away little by little, and the ears, forearms, and stomach are gradually exposed... Going down, Yu Juanjuan saw the outside of her son's thigh root, and actually wrote the words "killed and wronged" with a signature pen, "The Cambodians present also saw it, but did not react." ”
She quietly took a photo as a basis for overturning the case for her son in the future. As for the authenticity of the handwriting, she had specially visited the county office and signed and testified with 12 people, including the teacher who had taught her son.
When I received the call that "my son is dead", Yu Juanjuan's husband Zhou Hong was running freight and turned back immediately halfway through. Three days later, he and his wife met in Phnom Penh. People are not familiar with the land, the language is not clear, and the economic conditions are limited, "called every day should not be, called the land is not smart, do not know which department to find." ”
Embassy staff did not meet with the families in the end and advised them to go to a lawyer or the police. There was nothing they could do, and the couple paid for an interpreter to go to the Ministry of the Interior. "Cambodia is too corrupt, and when you enter the courtyard of the Ministry of the Interior, you have to tip the doorman." Zhou Hong said.
The couple spent one or two hundred dollars, and finally saw the video of their son falling from the building on the spot, "My body is full of bruises, and I have a dead heart." Yu Juanjuan recalled.
In Yu Juanjuan's heart, her son beats small kindness, meets the old man with heavy loads, even if he is late for school, he also helps others to send things up; When he entered the classroom, he was criticized by the teacher, and he did not take the initiative to clarify. Zhou Yujie loves to be clean, and when he was a child, he lived with his grandmother who had a cleaning habit, "like to wear white clothes and white pants, neat and tidy."
If it were not for the accident of pregnant with Yu Jie last week, eighteen-year-old Yu Juanjuan would not have hidden her mother in Hubei and stayed in the Yibin Mountains of Sichuan as a foreign daughter-in-law.
When I first arrived in Sichuan, my family's house didn't even have a tile. When I first got married, I could eat one pound of oil and ten pounds of rice for half a month. Carrying her young son on her back, she framed cross-stitches, knitted sweaters and shoes to supplement the family, and bought clothes for the children when she had pocket money. By selling fried potatoes on the street, working as a worker in a silk factory, and doing red and white things for others, Yu Juanjuan saved some money and opened a small shop. A cup of milk tea is 2 yuan, and the income is hundreds a day, and the economy is gradually enriched.
When Zhou Yujie was in the first grade of junior high school, the family finally built a new house. "Every brick passes through my son's hand." The money Yu Juanjuan earns is also managed by her son. "He gave it to me."
Family portrait (Remake of Lucisi).
Yu Juanjuan has lived for twenty years, given birth to three babies, brought the child alone, repaired the big and small pieces of the family, and built the money to build the house. For so many years, whenever her son rebelled, she always sided with her husband.
Zhou Hong was out in the sports car and promised to go home for dinner. The son killed the chicken and stewed the soup, waited and waited, and disappeared for a long time. From a "horse" to the middle of the night, sleepy to sleepy. The next day, Zhou Yujie complained that his father was "very excessive" hungry, and he went to dinner with friends without even greeting. Yu Juanjuan persuaded her son to be patient and instilled in him how hard it is for Dad. ”
Yu Juanjuan, who has always followed her husband and does not want to quarrel, after the death of her son, according to her younger daughter, her temperament has changed greatly.
Life has improved, but because I have to raise three children, I still have a tight life. When Zhou Yujie left home, he waited for his father for two days under the big sun and asked for money to learn to drive, but Zhou Hong did not give it. In the phone call to his mother, he carried a heavy cry. "One or twenty pairs of shoes are all pinduo." If he didn't know that his parents were bitter, he wouldn't have stopped studying so early, and he would have given 500 yuan and 480 yuan a month for a summer job to his family. Yu Juanjuan said painfully.
The day before he was taken to Cambodia by a friend, Zhou Yujie, who borrowed money to sign up for a car, did not take the driving subject. At the time of death, in addition to two pairs of shoes and a few pieces of clothing, the luggage also contained a driver's license student license, and a tuition slip for adult college.
Thinking back to the little things in front of Zhou Yujie's body, Yu Juanjuan regretted being too harsh on her son. She taught her child to be frugal and modest, not to protect herself, "when encountering bandits, pretending to compromise." If he had chosen to go along with it, he might not have died. ”
Yu Juanjuan firmly believes that her son is righteous. After this, she did not know how to educate her little daughter, worried that one day the child would bump into a sentence: "You are so good at education, why is your brother still dead?" "It's her death pit, can't hear it.
Although the daughter is still in elementary school, she never returns her mouth in the face of her mother's uncontrollable roar.
Sign it, it's suicide. The lawyer representing the online investment company said.
A fatal knife, is it a suicide to fall off the building? Yu Juanjuan was stunned and frightened by the distorted facts in front of her.
Concerned about her son's body and her own safety, she was sober but silent, at the mercy of the other party. From the moment they arrived in Cambodia, Chen Liang and Luo Yuanliang kept their friends' mothers inseparable. According to Yu Juanjuan, Chen Liang told her that she had stabbed the basket and was hunted down and killed in Cambodia and could not stay any longer.
The three boys who went to Cambodia with Zhou Yujie were all fellow villagers from a village. These friends, who speak of "supersociality" in Sichuan dialect, Zhou Hong guessed that Zhou Yujie met when he was in a vocational high school in the county. "My son is inexperienced in society, and when he goes out, we don't know."
Zhou Yujie's work permit left behind (Remake of Lu Xixi).
Zhou Yujie arrived in Cambodia before calling his father. "Ask him what he does, say it's promotion." Zhou Hong believes that "promotion" is to sell things to others through computers, "I didn't expect to kill people." After joining the family group of the victims in Cambodia, he realized that "it was a telecommunications fraud."
Telecommunications fraud has become the mainstream crime in today's society, and the Ministry of Public Security has calculated that "telecommunications network fraud accounts for 80% of overseas crimes". Since January 2020, the State Council and the Ministry of Public Security have successively deployed the "Great Wall No. 2", "Broken Card" and "Cloud Sword 2020" special operations to combat telecommunications network fraud. In this year alone, 256,000 cases of telecommunications network fraud were cracked and 263,000 criminal suspects were arrested.
On a note left by Zhou Yujie, the handwriting reads "Monday, export last week's members, notify the lottery to sign in, accumulate recharge..." It is difficult for us to judge the nature of Zhou Yujie's company through these words whether the nature of Zhou Yujie's company is a comprehensive disk or a fraudulent disk.
Notes written by Zhou Yujie (remake by Lu Xixi).
"Comprehensive companies generally do not deceive people, and the wire fraud company depends on whether the boss is black or not." Wu Zhuoming, who knows the inside story, said. The so-called integrated companies generally only operate lucky disks and do not involve in fraud. The lucky disk is a regular sports comprehensive disk, there are AG, e-sports, football lottery, etc., "charge money to play, win the normal withdrawal, lose to give some financial support." Gamblers have an act, called the head. ”
The pig killing plate is pure emotional killing. Focus on fine chat, first cultivate trust, and then invest in some sweetness, wait until the customer recharges a lot, and the stuck money is exhausted, similar to raising pigs.
In several of the paper airplane groups I lurked in, there were specialized services for selling materials and words, handsome men and women, successful people, full-time rich women, etc., and packed photos and videos. The words were translated into at least six Chinese, from Chinese and English to Japanese and Thai, and the targets of the scam were all over the world.
A police officer from the anti-fraud center, who did not want to be named, privately told me a case: "The woman, in her 40s, with a child, rented a house in Wuhan. After the divorce, she wanted to change her life, and was tricked by posing American executives, using her bank card to launder money, and was banned without suspicion. She was defrauded of more than 300,000 yuan, and the money was borrowed, first to find her parents, and then to rely on loans. It wasn't found for more than a year, until the police called and said 'you've been cheated' that she realized. "In the career of this anti-fraud police officer, the pig killing plate has been defrauded of more than 10 million yuan, which is a female boss of a private enterprise," and there are more than 2 million cheated, all women. ”
One of the "Add Words" documents I got stated that the chat had three stages: self-introduction, life and career goals, the future, and emotions. The first 10 to 20 minutes talk about home, life and interests, "everything is not talked about color, talk color he will not pay attention to investment." In the first chat, you must get the eight major information of the "pig" and note: name, age, work, city of residence, family background, hobbies, work and rest time and investment experience.
After that, quickly screen out the dick and high-quality customers, choose to chat deeply or give up. Those over the age of 35 are standard customers, and those under the age of 35 are "dicks". The document specifically states: "Not every customer can develop it, and it is necessary to spend time on effective customers, who are a waste of time even if they talk for a second." ”
When it comes to values, customers are basically trapped. When the customer asks "what are you doing", Dog Push adopts three ways: straight cut, side cut and dark cut to introduce lottery, stock speculation, investment in virtual currency and other positive topics. Straight cut is to clearly indicate "I am making extra money" and "I am investing in gold and Bitcoin"; The side cut is self-detonating "I am waiting for the master to go online" and "I am investing with my cousin", etc., and the introduction of a third person; The dark cut is relatively obscure, and the show of wealth implies that the customer "has recently treated himself considerably by the side business" and so on.
In another "Success Story Sharing", Miss Shen Qingqing( who pretends to be the founder of an IT brand company and lives in a mansion in Repulse Bay (actually a fraudster), falsely claims that her uncle is the co-founder of a cryptocurrency platform (fake). From time to time, she talks about the global stock market, shows off her luxurious life, repeatedly mentions that she has insider trading information, and repeatedly invites "handsome guys" who are already investing in the stock market to join. Lasting two months, "Shen Qingqing" went from less than 10 messages on the first day to hundreds of conversations a day when the customer first rushed 200,000 US dollars, and the relationship between the two has changed from friend to lover.
Refining words (screenshot of Lu xixi).
In addition to the pig killing plate, stock plates, lottery plates, etc. are also tricks of scammers. In order to deceive a person, at any cost to build a group, twenty or thirty people only have one real person, and the rest are all trusted. Speculating in futures, pretending to be a master, leading people to soar to make a lot of money, and finally making greedy people lose all their family wealth and still owe a debt.
Scam disks that do not talk about feelings and interests, and those who are hooked are usually active in finding the door. For example, in the antiques trade, scammers push fake websites to the forefront of search engines through bidding rankings on Baidu, marking slogans such as "free identification of antiques". No matter what crooked dates are sent for identification, they will be valued according to the unique orphan products.
After the high-priced valuation, the scammer kills the first time on the grounds of collecting membership fees, handling fees, intention fees, etc.; On the grounds of paying taxes (10% tax is charged on collections valued at one or two million), the second time. "The most one person killed a dozen times." Wu Zhuoming revealed, "Trick the customer into waking up on their own and take the initiative to block the scammer." ”
"Whether the son died unjustly or committed suicide, the truth must be found." Zhou Hong's heart was difficult to open, but Cambodia did not file a case, and it was in vain for them to stay there.
Zhou Yujie's body was well dressed, the procedures were completed, and after being carried into the coffin, he was ready to be consigned back to China, and the cost was a large sum. Under the persuasion of Zhou Hong, Yu Juanjuan agreed to be cremated, but offered to use a humanitarian relief payment compensated by the network investment company, mortgage a car that her son liked before he died, and carry the ashes home, "so that nothing dirty will touch him." Zhou Hong agreed.
Her son's ashes, most of which Yu Juanjuan kept, were hidden in a secret place that was moistened by the moonlight at night and warmed by the sun during the day. Others, she stayed in Phnom Penh.
Phnom Penh Mekong River Bank (Visual China).
The attractions where three rivers and four rivers meet are full of tourists. Beams of light penetrate the clouds and radiate on the Mekong River, forming a meteorological "Tyndale effect", like a ladder to climb, as if people can reach where they want to go as long as they follow it. "That light gives me a good feeling."
Yu Juanjuan, who cried and swollen her eyes and sunburned her cheeks, sat in a chartered boat and spilled a small part of her son's ashes into the river. "Society is too cruel to me, and I don't hate it, but I recognize it myself, and find the breadth, the sunshine, the rain and dew."
On the return flight, the caring flight attendants set aside a special seat to put the urn on hold, but Yu Juanjuan hugged it tightly in her arms and did not want to put it down. The urn is pressed against the chest, returning to the beginning of life where mother and child are connected. "I have feelings for him, I feel that my heart is connected, maybe nothing. My son died before me, and my heart actually died. ”
When the plane landed, Yu Juanjuan got up holding the ashes, and her abdomen suddenly felt like someone was hitting with a hammer, "in pain and wanted to roll." She felt guilty and thought that Zhou Yujie had been turned upside down, "It must be my son, otherwise it wouldn't hurt." "I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say it on my lips, and I couldn't bear it."
"Take the bus." Zhou Hongdao.
"Where to go?" Yu Juanjuan was still in the dark.
"Go home. With so much debt, what car did you buy? Two little ones who don't live and don't read anymore? Hearing her husband say this, Yu Juanjuan suddenly realized that her husband had deceived her.
"The little daughter and the little son have to rely on the death of their brother to provide for it?" Are they motherless children? Yu Juanjuan cried, crying wantonly and resolutely.
Yu Juanjuan holds her son (Remake of Lu Xixi).
Zhou Hong persuaded not to move, and got into his brother's car. Yu Juanjuan carried her ashes alone and wandered aimlessly in the county seat. Passing by the funeral supplies store, she bought paper clothes, paper cars, etc. for her son, and spent more than a thousand yuan inside and out, "all of which are things for dead people." ”
Yu Juanjuan, who did not want to go home, went to the funeral home, planning to rent a room and light incense and wax. How do you know that on that day, a local coal mine seeped and collapsed, thirteen workers were trapped at the bottom of the well, and five people were killed. The funeral home told her to make room. She had to call the master who had brought her to do the "one-stop" service. The master was rich and powerful in the village, and he was still able to speak, and beckoned the motorcade to take Yu Juanjuan and her son back to the village.
"Leave it in the yard." Only because his son died disgracefully, the ashes could not enter the new three-story house he built. Yu Juanjuan followed the master everywhere to fight the funeral fire and cook, underage adults, out of life, fell off the edge of the cliff, fell off the building, "can enter the house, but my son can't." ”
The husband obeyed the arrangement of the elders in the family, did not squeak, and made her even more annoyed, "There is such a big incident, he has no idea and no temper." His silence made me despair. Sometimes, she was also angry, believing that Zhou Hong had killed her son.
"When I talked about my son, my wife cried and made trouble, and the responsibility was blamed on me." The conditions at home are not good, if there is no worry about food and clothing, my son will not go out to run this job. Most of the children in Cambodia are tricked into having difficulties at home. Zhou Hong said.
"Cambodia is like a big refugee camp, hosting wanted criminals and self-exiled people from all over the world." Liu Shaohua, author of "Cambodian Travelers", wrote. In 1998 in Phnom Penh, the scammers who went to Cambodia were mainly young people in Europe and the United States; In 2022, frustrated Chinese replaced them.
In addition to the category of active fishing, it is more forced by the pressure of life or distorted values due to unfair treatment. Some scholars believe that the fundamental solution to the problem is to "shape a social mechanism that is 'unwilling to cheat': to provide equal employment opportunities; as far as possible, through the improvement of the rule of law system, reduce the injustice of social existence, and let people have the vision of realizing value." ”
Zhou Hong tried not to think back to his deceased son, sometimes running long distances, driving the car tears fell, wiped and then worked. "I go out at four or five o'clock every day, I feel tired, and I don't earn money." He hated himself for having no money and no power, for not getting justice for his son.
Yu Juanjuan begged her husband to file a case with her, "As a father, is it a bloody vendetta when your son dies?" "Zhou Hong has already turned his attention to supporting his family." Our sorrow cannot be imposed on children. What the younger son and daughter want, he tried his best to satisfy, and did not want to owe them any more, "For the sake of this family, for the sake of two children, we must survive." From the day his son died, Zhou Hong admitted that he had lost his qualification to be happy.
In the end, who is Zhou Yujie's online, to this day is still a mystery. "Card" and "person" are the two major elements of telecommunications network fraud, the flow of funds has been strictly controlled, and blocking the "flow of personnel" has become the focus of public security. Yu Juanjuan acted as a guardian, helping Chen Liang and others to report the loss of their passports, "buying a ticket to send them to the plane, hoping that they will return to China and turn themselves in." ”
After returning to Sichuan, the three partners bit Back at Zhou Yujie. "Ask them, keep silent, and wrongfully accuse my son of telling them out." Zhou Hong said. The police station also did not ask for a name, and released people. "They know who it is, but they're afraid of being implicated." Yu Juanjuan said. Today, one of the three is fishing for a side door in a Chengdu bar, one has not been released from prison, and the other is missing.
After unblocking some relations, the Cambodian police returned Zhou Yujie's relics to Yu Juanjuan. She opened her phone and saw that her son's WeChat list contained more than 50 friends, which neatly marked who was a classmate, who was a dog pusher, and who was the dog supervisor. She believes that this is a clue left by her son to ask her mother to avenge him.
With a kind of imagination, more mysterious threads converged into Yu Juanjuan's mind. Zhou Yujie's Kuaishou number "discredited", WeChat signal "love life, love yourself", QQ number "five sins", connected up is "I have been discredited, I am not guilty, I will not commit suicide, love life, love myself more." This is a secret language between mother and son, Yu Juanjuan believes.
Zhou Yujie's QQ number before his death (Remake of Lu Xixi).
Less than 10 days after returning to Sichuan, Chen Liang began to pull people's heads without stopping. Yu Juanjuan used her son's mobile phone to log on to WeChat and saw the recruitment advertisement he sent:
"Have you ever seen a pyramid scheme buy you a plane ticket for a visa?" Have you ever seen MLM give you a few thousand dollars to use in the early stage and give you living expenses?
"Bole knows good horses, I need a group of people who owe a high-interest loan to run away, I need a group of homeless people who are socially excluded, I need people who can't participate in activities with more than one dollar, beloved women who run away with rich people, have nothing, only fighting spirit, only courageous people, gender is not limited, want to turn over the private chat with me, young people don't say that they have no chance, choice is more important than hard work, choose the right you are the hope of the whole village." 」
Yu Juanjuan brushed this and hated herself: "I have something to hate, I have a bodhisattva heart, but I don't have the ability of a bodhisattva." She regretted that she had good thoughts about Chen Liang, and she should not have spared him in Cambodia in the first place.

Not long after, she found that the WeChat signal was blocked by Chen Liang.
Looking for the Micro-signals of more than 50 people, can't you find out the forces behind them? Yu Juanjuan, whose confidence has soared, has been frustrated one after another: she has reported the case to the county, saying that it is a foreign case, and China has no law enforcement power; The new crown has come, epidemic prevention has become a major event, and Zhou Yujie's death has been completely ignored.
If a son dies, why bother with more? In the countryside, morality and emotion are inextricably linked, and Zhou Hong gradually let go of his obsession with seeking justice. He is a native, and he still has to make a living in his hometown.
Her son's grave was meticulously groomed (photographed by Lusisi).
Yu Juanjuan is different, she does not care about these people who are not related to her. "Even if my son is heinous, his life should not be turned over like this." As a mother, she insisted on the truth.
She became a "madman" in the eyes of her neighbors, and rumors spread among the villagers that she carried the ashes of her son in the bag she carried with her. Locally, this is very unlucky. "The tongue is a ruthless knife, sometimes running for power, sometimes for justice, sometimes for evil."
Yu Juanjuan was isolated, and except for a few close friends, she no longer interacted with the villagers. "No one in murakami or down the village supports me." Late at night, she sometimes had nowhere to speak, so she sat at her son's grave with tears in her eyes. The younger son dug five thorn trees from the mountain and planted them around his brother's grave, representing a family of five. Two of them are so close together that the leaves are almost intertwined, symbolizing the exchange of souls between the son and the mother, accompanying each other in parallel worlds.
After a year and a half of self-autism at home, Yu Juanjuan lived in her son's room. Strictly speaking, it is only a loft, a computer, a desk, a mattress, and it has not been moved since my son left.
The thought of revenge did not disappear at all, but became more and more intense: "For the first time, save them; Second time, forgive them. They put all the blame on a dead man who couldn't speak. The bad boy was still active around, and Yu Juanjuan was angry when she saw it. She was desperate to go to Cambodia and try to bring the case back home. Zhou Hong does not support, does not object, does not provide any material help.
Yu Juanjuan, who slowly withdrew from the pain, got a job as a commander in the construction team that repaired the highway, working two shifts and standing for 12 hours, which was the "easiest job" she ever did alive. One post is 150 yuan, in order to earn more money, but whenever someone takes care of her daughter for her, she will go to two shifts in a row. While I was there, she was on a 72-hour shift.

Accidents that no one dared to defend were frequent, and at night, when she could not see her five fingers, she scrambled to get on, in order to make a good impression on the boss on duty. "Sometimes the sun doesn't set completely, the moon crept out, and the sky kept making up for the black and white world. The ghosts of the world will protect me. ”
However, she was hit by a car. When a person walks bad luck, it seems that there is no end. With a bruised rib and a bad heart, she was hospitalized for a week. After finishing her work at the station road, she continued to cook for the engineering team with her previous good work record.
With enough money, she left Sichuan, entrusted her daughter to trusted relatives and friends like a young son, and went to Cambodia alone. This is Yu Juanjuan's plan, and it is also the future she outlines: "The child dies over there, and I want to die over there." ”
On the minibus to the county driving school, the glass beads on Yu Juanjuan's wrists were glowing with tears, and the broken hair of the three children was faintly visible. If she wishes to go to Cambodia, she will be accompanied by the lone soldier day and night and the thoughts of yin and yang.
In Cambodia, it is common for young people to die violently, and Yu Juanjuan has to guard them, "Which child does not need a mother?" She also wants to prevent those children who are born like her son, return to the right path, and stop doing evil.
As for when to leave, that will be the beginning of the next story.
