Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 269: An Elaborate Scam
There are 93 tenants living in Zhedong Hotel, 86 of whom participated in Shao Dongxin's transaction.

The total amount of the funds is not known because of confidentiality requirements.

Due to Yu Jiefang's active propaganda, many tenants of other hotels also joined.

It was later learned that the total number of these people was 61.

Ma Zhenguo and Zhou Yugang, when they saw that Chen Yang hadn't moved, they were careful, and each only contributed [-] yuan instead of the [-] yuan they had promised.

Chen Yang didn't pay, and neither did the proprietress Ye Jing.

In the afternoon, Chen Yang took Ye Jing out on the pretext of discussing business.

At four o'clock, one hour before the deadline of five o'clock, Chen Yang and Ye Jing hadn't come back yet.

Shao Dongxin and Yu Jiefang did not come back either.

They took three experts and went to Cheng Xianwen's place in the morning.

In the afternoon, the people who went to observe the appraisal site came back one after another.

Ma Zhenguo and Zhou Yugang returned to the hotel after four o'clock.

The two kept asking where Chen Yang and Ye Jing went.

It wasn't until fifteen minutes to five that Chen Yang and Ye Jing came back leisurely.

Two idiots, Ma Zhenguo and Zhou Yugang, caught Chen Yang and questioned him repeatedly, did he contribute any capital, and how much money he gave.

Ye Jing was also very strange. According to the agreement, Yu Jiefang had to stay at Zhedong Hotel, at least until five o'clock.

Because five o'clock is the deadline for investors to invest.

Chen Yang and Ye Jing came back on this point.

Chen Yang asked Ma Zhenguo and Zhou Yugang, shouldn't they pay attention to Jiefang and Shao Dongxin?

After five o'clock, almost six o'clock.

Ma Zhenguo and Zhou Yugang felt bad.

Shao Dongxin and Yu Jiefang did not appear.

The three experts did not come back either.

The lobby of the hotel was full of people, including Ma Zhenguo and Zhou Yugang, all talking about it.

Only Chen Yang was lying in his room, feeling lucky in his heart.

Ye Jing couldn't stand the temptation, and wanted to participate in this investment, Chen Yang took her outside to play, she was worried, and couldn't help persuading Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was persuaded by Ye Jing.

The two agreed to rush back to the hotel before five o'clock. If everything went well, the two would participate in the investment, each contributing [-] yuan.

It was also luck for the two of them. When they rushed back to the hotel, the building was already empty.

Ma Zhenguo, Zhou Yugang and the others have decided to divide their forces into four groups.

Go all the way to the big hotel to see if the gang from Hong Kong are still there.

Go all the way to that old man Cheng Xianwen to see if Cheng Xianwen is still there.

I went out to find people along the way, mainly looking for Shao Dongxin, Yu Jiefang and the three experts.

Waiting at the Zhejiang Hotel all the way, if those few come back, they must be resolutely held down.

Ma Zhenguo took people to the hotel.

Zhou Yugang stayed in the hotel.

The four people made an appointment to contact by phone.

Zhou Yugang was sitting by the reception desk of the hotel, watching the phone on the reception desk.

Ye Jing came to look for Chen Yang.

"Yang, now it seems that 90.00% nine, this is a well-planned scam."

"Estimate how much money did they raise?"

"I heard from Zhou Yugang that the people who stayed in my hotel alone raised more than 90 yuan, with an average of more than [-] yuan per person. As for the people in other hotels, I haven't counted them yet."

"Did they call the police?"

"Not yet. Now they're in full swing, looking everywhere."

Chen Yang sneered, "Oh, you're really a bunch of idiots for taking chances at this time."

At this time, Zhou Yugang came in.

The current Zhou Yugang has a pale face and looks like a man in his 50s or [-]s.

"It's over, it's over. They called back from the big hotel. The so-called people from Hong Kong checked out of the room at two o'clock in the afternoon. According to the people in the big hotel, they booked a plane ticket and flew to Hong Kong at four o'clock in the afternoon. of."

Chen Yang said, "Call the police. Lao Zhou, hurry up and call the police."

"Oh, I have already called the police. I guess, I guess it's useless to call the police. At most, it's an afterthought."

Zhou Yugang frowned and sighed.

Chen Yang and Ye Jing were busy comforting Zhou Yugang.

At 09:30 in the evening, all the people who went out came back.

The hotel lobby was packed with people.

In addition to the tenants who lived in Zhedong Hotel, the cheated tenants from other hotels also came.

The police also came, twenty or thirty at once.

The police reported a message.

On the flight to Hong Kong at [-]:[-] p.m., there were passengers Shao Dongxin, Li Zeren, Cheng Xianwen and others.

Of course, these are pseudonyms, not the same as the names on the passport.

The police took back the passenger list and photos from the airport and asked everyone to identify them one by one.

Everyone found that besides Shao Dongxin, Li Zeren and Cheng Xianwen, there were also those three experts, people from Li Zeren and people from Cheng Xianwen.

Thirteen people in total.

Not liberated.

The police estimated that eight out of ten, Yu Jiefang was also deceived and had already been killed.

The police also announced that the police have contacted the Hong Kong police.

The Hong Kong police had taken action two hours earlier.

But so far no gains.

The Hong Kong police estimated that the members of this scammer group had already left Hong Kong by another flight.

The police were divided into two groups.

Take notes one by one.

Another round counts the amount of funds defrauded.

Not included in the liberation, a total of 140 people were deceived.

Three of them were taken advantage of, and were defrauded of 18, 15, and 12 respectively.

For other people, the maximum is [-], and the minimum is [-].

A total of 3000 yuan was defrauded.

Another team of the police is looking for Yu Jiefang, but until midnight, there is no news.

Chen Yang did not expect that he was safe and sound, and was also invited by the police to question him.

Everyone in the hostel, including those who were not deceived, is subject to investigation.

Ye Jing, the hotel proprietress, was the first to be questioned.

Ye Jing told the truth that she was planning to invest [-] yuan, but was blocked by her partner Chen Yang.

Ye Jing said that she was taken out to play by Chen Yang, and she didn't return to the hotel until around 04:30, when the scammers had disappeared.

Ye Jing also said that she made an appointment with Chen Yang, and they were going to contribute [-] each.If the liars were still there at this time, she and Chen Yang would have become victims too.

Chen Yang attracted the attention of the police.

Everyone was fooled, but a young man from the countryside was not fooled. This young man from the countryside was too shrewd.

At 02:30 in the middle of the night, Chen Yang was woken up in bed.

Chen Yang put on his clothes, and followed the police downstairs with the proof, hotel registration and police station registration and other procedures.

The place where the notes were taken was the office of the proprietress Ye Jing.

There is one policeman at the door, two policemen are questioned, and one policeman takes notes.

Chen Yang knew one of them, the head of the police station, Lao Chang, who Chen Yang met when he went to the police station to go through the registration procedures.

Lao Chang smiled slightly at Chen Yang, "Chen Yang is right. I'm sorry, I invited you over from the bed."

Chen Yang smiled shyly, "It should, it should."

Name, age, home address, current address, what you are doing in Shanghai...

Chen Yang first answered a series of routine questions.

"Chen Yang, do you know Yu Jiefang?"
