The case of Tong Min, the former principal of the primary school section of Hejiang Tianli School in Luzhou, Sichuan, who was suspected of contract fraud of nearly 50 million yuan, once again ushered in new progress. According to statistics, Tong Min is suspected of defrauding nearly 50 million yuan, and the police have withdrawn the case because he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. In order to recover their losses, the 29 victims sued Tong Min's father, Tong Moumou, Guangzhou NetEase Computer System Co., Ltd., and Tenpay Payment System Co., Ltd. as co-defendants. After many twists and turns, the case was tried in the Jiangyang District People's Court of Luzhou City on April 23, but the verdict was not pronounced in court after the trial.

Red Star News learned from an interview that most of the 29 victims were Tong Min's relatives, friends and acquaintances, and even her mother and sister. The victim, Sister Deng, was originally engaged in the sale of wealth management products, and Ms. Yin was her customer, and the two had a good relationship. In 2017, Tong Min encouraged Ms. Yin to invest in the "Shareholding Tianli School Project", and took her to dinners a total of 8 times. Among the victims, the most special is Tong Min's mother, Ms. Dai. "There are a total of 1.2 million people who signed the contract, and the 35,000 yuan they usually get is not counted. Ms. Dai said that the more than one million yuan is the pension money left from the sale of the house. After being deceived, the two sisters not only took on millions of dollars in debt, but also had to pay off the debt to support their family.
Tong Min's deception did not happen overnight. According to public media reports, his fraud began around 2016 when he operated a non-staple food store on the street of a township in Hejiang County, Luzhou. At that time, Tong Min, who had just graduated less than two years ago, was already well-known in the local area. Because his parents work outside the home all the year round, Tong Min grew up with his grandparents since he was a child. She showed her intelligence early on with excellent grades in her studies: she could be admitted to a normal school in junior high school, and it would be a pity not to be a teacher after graduation; her family was poor, and I hope she could find a good man to marry as soon as possible; she was born as a teacher, and it must be no problem to be a principal......
In the expectation of many relatives and friends, in 2012, Tong Min was admitted to Chengdu Normal University to study Chinese language and literature. During her college years, she continued to excel in her studies. After graduating from university in 2016, she was assigned to teach at Tianli School in Hejiang County. Soon, she achieved the first grade in the school and the only class teacher qualification in the school through hard work. In just three years, she has grown from a young teacher to the school's vice principal.
As his position and fame rose, Tong Min began to be exposed to higher levels of interpersonal relationships and the temptation of greater benefits. In the first half of 2017, at a high-value dinner, Tong Min met an agent of Guangzhou NetEase Computer System Co., Ltd. After the dinner, the other party invited Tong Min to cooperate on the grounds of "investing in Tianli School". In order to further win over Tong Min, the other party also promised to give him up to 10% interest. In this way, Tong Min began her fraud journey.
In the following two years, Tong Min borrowed a total of more than 47.33 million yuan from victims for various reasons. Among them, the largest loan was more than 180 yuan, which came from Li Moumou, a customer manager of a bank in Hejiang County. Li Moumou paid a total of 3.76 million yuan of loan principal to Tong Min three times, and collected 160,000 yuan of loan interest. The remainder of the claims come from the victims themselves or their relatives and friends. During this period, Tong Min also continued to borrow money from the victim on various grounds such as her pregnancy and her husband's need for funds to do business. Until the time of the case, she also obtained funds by recharging online games.
Until the end of 2020, Tong Min was about to use the newly bought house to pay off the debt when the victim found an abnormality. After asking for the return of hundreds of thousands of dollars to no avail, one victim called the police. The police investigation found that from 2017 to the time of the crime, Tong Min successively squandered money from unspecified people to buy online game equipment and point cards, cash withdrawals, investment and wealth management products, etc., with a total cost of more than 30 million yuan. In the end, most of this money was recharged by her into the online game "Datang Wushuang".
It is worth mentioning that there is also a key figure in Tong Min's social circle - Li Moumou, the husband of Sister Deng. He is also one of the key witnesses in this case. According to Red Star News, Li Moumou and Tong Min met at a dinner party around 2016. During the trial of this case, Li Moumou admitted that he was also deceived by Tong Min. According to him, around 2017, he met a girl named "Zhou Li" on WeChat. After chatting for a while, he decided to meet offline. When they met, the other party claimed to be a graduate of Chengdu Normal University. During the conversation, Li Moumou learned that "Zhou Li" did not have a boyfriend yet, so he expressed his willingness to rent a house for her first. Unexpectedly, the other party told him: "I am a friend of Tong Min, and she is a leader in Tianli School in Hejiang County." Shortly thereafter, Li Moumou was with Tong Min. It wasn't until after the case that he knew that things were not so simple - it turned out that "Zhou Li" was pretended by Tong Min.
The case is currently under further proceedings.
