CHAPTER XIV

Undercover investigation

MLM is a nightmare.

The daily life of MLM workers is like this: picking up vegetable leaves, doing radio gymnastics, walking, sitting on plastic benches listening to lectures, clapping with both hands above their heads, shouting slogans before eating, sleeping on the floor, bragging, calling relatives and friends, tricking them into coming to pick up vegetable leaves, doing radio gymnastics, applauding, bragging...... They think they can make a fortune if they repeat it.

In Beihai, when the police smashed the pyramid scheme den, those people were smiling, psychedelic, and even made triumphant gestures to the cameras, and they were reluctant to leave even if the truth was explained.

In the guest, the two girls who participated in the pyramid scheme, the daily living expenses were only one dollar, but they were full of confidence, one said to the other, if the two of us drive a car with less than one million in the future, it will be a shame for everyone, and the car will be smashed.

In Hefei, many MLM workers are developing offline in Internet cafes, a row of big men sitting in front of the computer, QQ avatars are all beauties, they are smoking cigarettes, showing obscene smiles, and typing a line of ambiguous words on QQ: "Even Su (I am) cute sister paper (child), brother came to play with me." ”

The first step of a pyramid scheme is often to restrict personal freedom and illegal detention, followed by 3 days of intensive brainwashing and 7 days of online payment.

A week later, Bao Chu had already broken into the MLM organization and became a MLM person. He called Professor Liang: "Dad, I am now working on a real estate project of the Sunshine Project with my friends, this project is very good, I have inspected ......"

Professor Liang said: "The prodigal son will not change his money, do it well, Dad supports you, and you can say any difficulties." ”

Bao Chu said, "How is your body?" This project needs some funds, and I want my cousin to help me, because the project has just started and there is a lack of manpower, so I want my cousin to also join the stock and make money together. ”

Professor Liang said: "Our family has no money, I have spent all my treatment, you don't know, but Dad has to help you borrow money, you can call your cousin and ask him if he agrees, you have to take care of yourself outside." ”

After hanging up the phone, Bao Chu said that his cousin was the captain of the security team, and there were more than a dozen people under him, all of whom could be developed into a downline. The surrounding MLM workers cheered, they had made a plan in advance, very thoroughly, even taking into account the route and time from the train station to the MLM den, and even what clothes to wear, running a few steps forward to shake hands and other details were carefully planned.

The two of them follow Bao and two MLM workers in suits, walking through a dilapidated street, through a maze of alleys, and finally to the rental house where they are located.

They call the MLM dens "home", and more than a dozen people live in two-bedroom houses at the interface between urban and rural areas.

As soon as Hualong and Hu Yuanqing entered the door, the young men and women in the room lined up in two rows, making a gesture of invitation very enthusiastically, and everyone was smiling. After welcoming the people, everyone began to eat, first a pot of rice, then a pot of cabbage, clear soup and little water, and there was not even a little oil star on it. There were no tables and chairs, foam panels were spread on the ground, everyone sat on the ground, and some people rushed to serve a meal to Hualong and Hu Yuanqing. At this time, a person shouted, "Director, it's time to eat." Then, the others also shouted rhythmically, and a middle-aged woman slowly walked out of the inner room, and Bao Shu introduced that this was Director Miao.

Director Miao shook hands with Hualong and Hu Yuanqing, and after greetings, she waved her hand and said, "Eat." "Although it is a simple action, it has a momentum that swallows mountains and rivers. All of them

They all picked up their bowls and shouted in unison: "Rice, rice, eat it and make millions!" ”

Bao Chop also shouted, the slogan was loud, and the painting dragon laughed, and said to Bao Chop: "Cousin, are you not sick?" ”

Bao Chop said: "Cousin, if you have to endure hardships, you will become a master." ”

Hualong looked at the boiled cabbage and muttered: "The pigs in our rural hometown eat better than this." ”

Hu Yuanqing pushed the painting dragon and persuaded: "Husband, it's okay for us to be a guest, don't be so picky." ”

After eating, everyone started to play games, which were all childish games played by kindergarten children, such as guessing boxing, idiom solitaire, and riddles. A beautiful looking girl loses, and according to the rules to perform the show, she grabs her right ear with her left hand and her left ear with her right hand, and shouts while pouting her ass and spinning in circles: "I'm a psychopath, I'm a neurotic......"

Everyone laughed happily, in fact, this is also one of the steps of brainwashing.

MLM people believe that only by giving up self-esteem and shamelessness can they achieve success.

Many people wonder, more than a dozen men and women are crammed into a small space, are they in love? Have you ever tasted the forbidden fruit? Have any pyramid scheme leaders raped or seduced him?

In fact, it is forbidden to fall in love within a MLM organization, and feelings will affect careers. What's more, MLM is a pyramid scheme in which relatives deceive relatives, friends deceive friends, and cohabitants are mostly related by blood. There are only a few dens, inhabited by strangers from all over the world, and on the balcony of their rental house, there are two brightly colored bras and a few pairs of women's panties among a dozen clothes to dry, which makes people reverie. It is rumored that such pyramid scheme dens are often very **, and they sometimes make amazing moves in order to release stress, such as ** going to class, or turning off the lights at night, and a person shouts loudly: "In the dark, we are just shameless, and shameless people can make a fortune!" In the next few dozen minutes, a hand-to-hand fight began, and exciting sounds came and went.

After Bao Choi broke into the pyramid scheme, the investigation did not go smoothly. More than a dozen people live in a two-bedroom house, and Bao Qi's every word and deed is watched, and he can't rashly inquire about the deceased Xiao Jing, so he can only use the limited time to go to the toilet at night to find the scene of the crime. Bao Qi's mobile phone was specially made by the police, and on the surface it was a cheap knockoff phone with the ability to receive calls and send and receive text messages, but in fact it was a small bloodstain examination device capable of emitting ultraviolet light. However, no large amount of blood was found in this pyramid scheme den, indicating that this was not the first scene, and Xiao Jing was not killed here.

After secret discussions, Bao Shu, Hualong, and Hu Yuanqing decided to give up looking for the scene of the crime, and put the investigation work in other pyramid scheme dens, focusing on finding the upper and lower lists of the deceased Xiao Jing and the people who knew the deceased.

Hualong and Hu Yuanqing took a few classes and paid money to join, and the MLM organization relaxed its control and supervision over them.

Director Miao asked, "When you have money in the future, how do you plan to spend it?" Who cares about the money between you and your husband? ”

Hu Yuanqing said: "Of course, I am in charge of money, and men learn badly when they have money, but even if my husband has no money, I will be with him for the rest of my life." ”

Bao Chu said: "Cousin, don't say negative things, how can we have no money for this business." ”

"When I have money, I eat roast duck, braised pork, and big fat crabs every day, and I don't eat boiled cabbage anymore." ”

MLM workers will "sleep together" every afternoon, and the group sleeps in pairs to go to other MLM dens as guests to learn successful experiences and communicate

Experience. Sometimes, the information of the invitee will be discussed with all the personnel, hoping to find a good way to attract the invitee to join the pyramid scheme, to put it bluntly, everyone will discuss how to deceive people into the scheme.

When going to bed, the opening remarks are usually self-introduction.

Hualong said: "Bosses, elites, new and old friends, hello everyone, my name is Hualong, from ......"

Bao Chop said: "Good afternoon, hard work, I am now living in the dormitory of Director Miao, I greet the leaders and offline elites on behalf of all the salesmen in my dormitory, we hope to learn the experience and shining points of the leadership......"

Hu Yuanqing said: "Let me introduce the situation of the invitee, everyone will help me analyze whether you can invite him to join our great industry, this person is my classmate, his name is Xiao Jing......"

The three of them paid close attention to the observation that the MLM staff did not react abnormally when they heard the name Xiao Jing. When they were in contact with the MLM workers, they kept knocking on the side and watching what they said, but they never found any clues related to the deceased.

Only once, a bucktooth girl asked curiously, "Is this Xiao Jing a man or a woman?" ”

Hu Yuanqing replied: "It's a woman." ”

Bucktooth said meaningfully, "Oh, I said it! ”

Bao Shu asked, "What, you also know a person named Xiao Jing?" ”

Bucktooth waved her hand and said, "I don't know." ”

The undercover investigation work is deadlocked, and Hualong is a little impatient to eat boiled cabbage and sleep on the floor every day, and just when the three of them are about to hold on, they learn an important piece of news. At the end of each month, a commendation meeting is held for those at the level of the sales team leader in the MLM system. The venue is in a small two-story building, and because none of the three people have reached the level of team leader, there has been no opportunity for an unannounced visit. Hualong promised to develop more than a dozen downline personnel in the near future, and Director Miao agreed to take the three of them to study and exchange.

The atmosphere of the venue was extremely warm, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as crazy, several team leaders with excellent performance wore suits and big red flowers on their chests, and a manager-level person gave them bonuses, and the applause was thunderous, and everyone had a dreamlike smile.

A pyramid scheme worker stepped forward to take a photo, and Hualong and Hu Yuanqing suddenly felt creepy, and they recognized the camera in the man's hand as the one lost by the Forensic Identification Center of the Rongcheng Public Security Bureau.

Bao Chop also found a large amount of blood stains in the bathroom, and although it had been cleaned, it was still clearly distinguishable under the inquest equipment.

There were more than 50 people at the scene, and the deceased Xiao Jing was stabbed more than 50 times, this coincidence made people have a terrible thought, could it be that these crazy people are murderers?

Hualong whispered to Bao Shu: "Hurry up and call the police, call some more people." ”

However, before the police arrived, the commendation meeting had ended, and some MLM personnel were ready to leave, and Hualong and Hu Yuanqing hurriedly guarded the door. The dragon shouted, "No one is allowed to go." ”

Director Miao said, "You little salesman, are you crazy?" ”

"Fuck, Lao Tzu is a policeman. ”

There was a commotion among the MLM workers, and some people wanted to jump out of the window to escape, but the window was fenced, and more people rushed towards Hualong and Hu Yuanqing.

Hu Yuanqing glanced at the painting dragon, clenched his fists and said: "Last time in the competition, we didn't tell the winner, and this time, we will compete to see who knocks down the most people." ”

He said, "What if I win?" ”

Hu Yuanqing said: "If you win, I will marry you, and if you lose, you have to marry me." ”
