"My scalp was numb, and I had a layer of cold sweat on my back."
Lin Lin still remembers that when she disassembled the back panel of the makeup mirror, the dense card slots and staggered lines that jumped out in front of her eyes.
Mirror after disassembly
Later, she went to the police station, and the police dismantled the wireless wifi device from the mirror, as well as four cameras, five 32G memory cards and a voice recorder.
This makeup mirror, which she has used many times, was sent by a male colleague, saying that it was to support her live broadcast work, hoping to help her.
Lin Lin put this mirror in the living room defenselessly, and when she went out to meet people or live work, she would use it to touch up her makeup, or change clothes in front of it.
It wasn't until her male friends reminded her again and again that this mirror had the function of being naked and slimming, and that she needed to be plugged in all the time to keep her powered on, that things seemed strange and ambiguous.
The line behind the mirror
She never imagined that behind the beautiful and delicate makeup mirror, there was a pair of bottomless eyes staring at her.
Every move I make at home, including changing clothes in front of the mirror and applying makeup at close range, is like a live broadcast in front of these eyes.
Lin Lin is a very standard beauty in the public aesthetic.
With a pointed chin and melon seed face, a straight nose and bright eyes, and no flaws in the makeup, even among the young female anchors in the live broadcast room, she looks extraordinary.
I don't know if it's because her appearance is too eye-catching, or because the identity of the "female anchor" has a pink veil, on social media, when everyone learned that Lin Lin was peeping at by the "camera mirror" sent by a male friend, very few people expressed relief, but they were overwhelmed with questions and criticisms about her.
Some people think that Lin Lin must have an inexplicable relationship with a male friend, otherwise why would a man give it to her instead of giving it to others?
Some people think that Lin Lin herself is "not serious", she doesn't look for a job at a young age, she prefers to be an anchor, she just wants to rely on men to eat.
There are also some comments that are simply unsightly.
Lin Lin looked at the comments that were asking "is there a video" and "can you share what you have captured", and she trembled with anger;
What's more, they directly threw off the link to sell the film in the comment area, attaching the method and price of buying and selling.
Lin Lin didn't dare to click in, she was afraid that she was really doing some private actions, and she was afraid that she would see other girls revealing her private behavior without knowing it.
She wanted to grab everyone on the social platform, saying loudly that she didn't know, that she was a victim, and that she had never done anything that was not in line with social morality.
But at the same time, she also found that proving her innocence is the hardest thing in the world.
It's like a huge logical trap, and no matter how self-justifying, it's like a supplement to the first lie.
Lin Lin's social content
The original victim character became the target of verbal criticism after the incident, desperately trying to prove himself but no one believed him, and the real criminals, no one cared.
The man who sent this mirror, installed a pinhole camera behind the mirror, and peeked at Lin Lin behind his back, Qin Li, was originally her colleague.
This is recognized by his colleagues as a "good old man", and he maintains a good relationship with all employees, female employees find him warm and polite, and male colleagues are willing to eat and chat with him.
So when Qin Li took the initiative to help Lin Lin, she didn't have much vigilance.
Lin Lin was only 17 years old when she first came to the company, and she first worked as a front desk, and then turned to be an anchor when she became an adult.
She is young, has little work experience, and even less social experience, and every time she sees someone commenting on the live broadcast that she wants to meet her and fall in love with her, she will feel very uncomfortable, and often refuse directly.
The company was unhappy, saying that the anchor should maintain the atmosphere of the live broadcast room, and not be cold to fans, especially the new anchor should be enthusiastic and proactive, which made Lin Lin feel very aggrieved.
Qin Li acted as a confidant brother at this time, and he reminded Lin Lin that the water of the live broadcast was very deep, so don't fall for the company.
After going back and forth, the two got acquainted with each other, added WeChat, Qin Li often shared with her the skills of live broadcast work, and also taught her how to "buy fans" to increase popularity.
Later, Lin Lin resigned from the company and chose to work alone, Qin Li also encouraged her to try bravely, and said that he had ready-made equipment to give her.
The first thing I sent was a fill light, and Lin Lin hadn't started the official live broadcast yet, so it was useless at first, and then Qin Li sent a makeup mirror soon after.
The makeup mirror is very large, with LED light strips, and the workmanship is very fine, Lin Lin is embarrassed to ask for it.
Qin Li explained that this was all made by a friend's factory, and he didn't charge money, just to find someone to experiment to see if it would work.
After receiving the mirror, she moved to the living room, because it was big enough, it was very convenient to put on makeup and change clothes, but Lin Lin soon found that there were a few obvious holes in the mirror, which were very abrupt, not like decoration.
She thought it was left by the factory without careful workmanship, and she didn't take it seriously.
As a result, after the mirror was sent, Qin Li began to become strange.
He was originally very careful about proportion, speaking enthusiastically but with scale, since the mirror was sent, he sent two messages in three days to urge her to use more, and once mentioned that the mirror has the function of naked body slimming, I don't know if it is a gimmick of the store, let Lin Linduo try to see if it is useful.
Lin Lin felt strange, but she didn't really go naked to the mirror to see if she could "lose weight", she faintly felt that something was wrong with the mirror.
After that, Qin Li mentioned several times that the mirror should be kept plugged in to the power supply so that it would not burn out, and frequently reminded Lin Lin to pay attention to the mirror.
Intuition is unreasonable, Lin Lin carried a screwdriver to remove the mirror into eight pieces, wanting to see if there was a hidden mystery in it - she was shocked as soon as she opened it, the back of the mirror was densely wired, the wires were staggered, and several cameras were still flashing faintly.
The feeling of suffocation suddenly passed from his heels to the Tianling Gai, and Lin Lin felt numb.
She was horrified and angry, and her mind quickly recalled how many times she had stood in front of this mirror to put on makeup and change clothes.
According to the screenshot of the order provided by Qin Li before, Lin Lin found the store and asked,
"Is that how your LED lights are designed?"
Of course, the shopkeeper denied it, and Lin Lin called Qin Li again to ask,
"Did you put a camera on me?"
Qin Li naturally quibbled, Lin Lin no longer believed it, and went directly to the police station with the mirror.
After professional disassembly, in addition to 4 cameras, 5 32G memory cards, there is also a voice recorder, and these devices have a special wireless wifi device link.
In other words, as long as Lin Lin plugged in the mirror, her every move at home would be presented in front of Qin Li like a live broadcast.
She then handed over the fill light she received some time ago to the police for inspection, and found that it was also equipped with candid photography and recording equipment, probably because she had been useless since she received it at the time, and Qin Li and the others were impatient and sent a "spare item".
The police immediately arrested Qin Li, and after interrogation, Qin Li confessed the facts of his crime:
He bought a pinhole camera, transformer, and mobile wireless router online, modified the normal makeup mirror, and mailed it to Lin Lin to implement the candid photo.
The complexity of the incident far exceeded Lin Lin's imagination.
Qin Li's modified candid shooting equipment
She has the impression of a warm, honest and good old colleague who runs an online store selling USB cameras, transformers and memory cards on an online shopping platform, including his modified eavesdropping and eavesdropping equipment.
These cameras and recorders were installed in power banks and power strips, and were sold all over Guangzhou.
The eavesdropping devices that had been changed into coats appeared in corners that were difficult for people to notice, shining silently, as if a pair of eyes from another world were peeping at the different lives of different people for Qin Li.
After being investigated and detained, Qin Li faced legal sanctions.
It stands to reason that the matter should come to an end, but at this point, the side effects of the matter on Lin Lin have just begun.
In order to express her anger and remind other colleagues not to be subjected to similar things, Lin Lin posted the general story of the incident on social platforms.
She sincerely hoped that other young girls would have a good eye and not encounter such a thing again.
Unexpectedly, after the release of the incident, various social platforms began to spread her experience in turn, and many friends around her could even sit in the right seat, judging that the female anchor mentioned on the Internet was Lin Lin.
In addition to the guidance of the people around her, thousands of critical and questioning comments on the Internet made Lin Lin even more afraid and anxious.
She looked at the comments that said that she was "improper", "naked", and "buying and selling videos", and her mood was getting worse and worse, and she was afraid of looking in the mirror every day.
Lin Lin tried to prove her "innocence", but things always got darker and darker, and no one wanted to listen to her confession; She tried to tell her family and friends about her troubles, but the unanimous reply was-
You shouldn't have called the police at the time, what a hassle!
Even Lin Lin's parents didn't stand with their daughter, they educated Lin Lin with a head and face, saying that this is a very shameful and shameful thing, and only calming things is the best way to solve it.
Lin Lin began to doubt herself, is it wrong to call the police? Should we be silently digested in the face of this kind of secret "violation"?
She became sensitive and suspicious, and every once in a while she would search for keywords like "female anchor" and "mirror" on the Internet, and if she could really search for herself, she would break down and cry;
If she can't find it, she will think that others will definitely talk behind her back.
After half a year, Lin Lin was exhausted, she didn't want to go out to meet strangers anymore, and she didn't want to listen to those curious or questioning voices on the Internet, she just stayed at home every day, couldn't sleep all night, felt that she was sick, and couldn't tell what was going on.
Sometimes when she comes up to the "condition", she is short of breath and her face is flushed, her parents can only take her to the psychiatric department, follow the doctor's instructions to prepare an oxygen cylinder at home, when she suddenly "falls ill" and can't breathe, she takes a medicine and inhales oxygen to "stabilize it".
"I feel like I'm doing something wrong, I'm afraid that others will ignore me, and I'm afraid that others will laugh at me."
Before stepping into the anchor industry, Lin Lin actually had plastic surgery, because she was ridiculed by many classmates because of her buckteeth and garlic nose when she was a child, they tore up her homework book, took off her school uniform and pants, and lined up to laugh at her "dirt buns" and "fat woman".
The long-term school bullying caused the young Lin Lin to suffer from depression and almost lost the courage to go to school.
In order to stop being bullied, she went for plastic surgery when she grew up, went through a painful and long recovery period, and finally turned herself into a standard "beauty".
Unexpectedly, after going around and around for so many years, she was "beaten back to her original form", and returned to the mentality of being bullied when she was fourteen years old, feeling that she was doing something wrong, couldn't sleep or eat, and couldn't control her crying and laughing.
Lin Lin began to continue to take antidepressants, but the pain was difficult to resolve, and she began to hurt herself frequently, cutting her arms with knives and smashing walls with her fists became the norm.
Her parents looked really uncomfortable, and sent her to the hospital for examination several times.
At the suggestion of a patient, Lin Lin tried to "save herself", she asked her friend to find a lawyer to sue Qin Li, hoping that the other party would compensate her for more than 50,000 yuan in psychiatric treatment costs after the incident, and apologize to herself in writing.
She sincerely hopes that she sitting in the plaintiff's seat can end this nightmare with her own hands.
