Time is the end of November 2014, a liu old lady into the house, the head on to see liu old lady’s son Wang Bo and three strange men. Wang Bo sat aside and said nothing while Old Lady Liu looked at me piteously.
Wang Bo, nicknamed “Mahjong King,” has a “thriving reputation” at the police station.
Over the past few months, we have called out more than a dozen police for him, including seven gambles, three sweeps, one fight, and the rest to “rescue” him because he gambles on credit and hides when he can, and calls the police when he can’t.
Three months ago, Wang bo lost an eye on the casino and went home to steal his mortgage of 350,000 yuan from a mortgage company. He tried to go back to the casino, but he lost again. The agreed repayment deadline has passed, he is unable to repay the debt, the loan company took the mortgage contract to find the home, they asked Mrs. Liu “either to help Wang Bo pay the money, or to vacate the house ready to transfer.”
The three strange men sitting in the room were professional debt collectors, and it was not unusual to see the police. One of them said, “Officer, we’re having a debt dispute. It’s not your responsibility.”
Indeed, the police are not allowed to get involved in debt disputes, and I have no choice but to tell them what they are and not to overdo it.
After some negotiations, the loan company gave Liu another three days to raise money. After seeing off the debt collector, Old Lady Liu began to cry. “I thought I could die in this house,” she said.
Three days later, I was in the preparation room lunch break, suddenly heard the report hall noisy rang rang, go out to see, it is Old Mrs Liu mother, and a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man went near front, put a bulging bag on the table, angrily said: “there is monitoring in the police station, for the mother, today I return the money for you, later dare to bet, I kill you!”
Said, he angrily left, I surprised to look at The Old lady Liu mother and son, quickly came forward to ask what happened. Liu said they wanted to pay the money back at the police station. “It’s safer here,” she said.
I advised her not to go, but could only acquiesce. I asked Her about the fund-raising process, but she did not want to talk much, but said that Wang Bo’s eldest brother Wang Cheng took out 350,000 yuan and paid the money back for his brother.
During the conversation, Lao Liu frequently turned back to scold Wang Bo for being unconscionable and nearly made herself homeless. Wang Bo kept a poker face and said nothing, as if he had been used to it.
When the bill collectors arrived, Mrs. Liu handed them the money and asked them to give a written promise in front of the police that they would never harass Wang Again. “Wang Bo doesn’t owe us any money,” choked the bill collector. “We’re too lazy to pay it.”
I frighten the person that collect bill, turn a head to tell Liu old woman, actually that kind of assurance does not have meaning.
On the way to see Mrs. Liu off, her colleague took her aside and instructed her, “Go back and ask your son if there is any debt in the house. In addition, keep an eye on the valuable things in the house.”
Old Mrs. Liu said nothing.

Half a month later, Old Lady Liu ran to the police station to report to the police. The gold and silver jewelry in the bottom of his box and 5000 yuan disappeared. My colleague whispered to me after the scene investigation, “It looks like an acquaintance committed a crime.”
In the police station, liu, who was taking notes, was crying as she robbed the ground. “Jewelry is my dowry. I didn’t want to sell it after all the hardships in my life. Comrade police, you must help me to recover.”
I asked Mrs. Liu who had the house keys, Mrs. Liu said that she and Wang Bo lived in the house, I asked Mrs. Liu to call him to understand the situation, Mrs. Liu said that Wang Bo had been missing for a week.
I went to the police platform and found that Wang Bo was detained by his brother three days ago for gambling and was being held in the detention center. I asked my colleague to go to the detention center to ask Wang Bo for questioning. Before going out, Old Lady Liu asked me what to do with her little son. I said bluntly: “Wang Bo is the most likely to commit the crime.
Old Lady Liu was very surprised, “If he really did it, will he be sentenced?”
“The case value has exceeded the filing standard, the sentence will be sentenced.”
Old Mrs. Liu was silent for a moment. “No, my son never steals anything. It must be done by outsiders.”
However, to the detention center, Wang Bo has simply admitted to soberly. “The other day I got addicted to gambling. I couldn’t get any money anywhere, so I took away my mother’s jewelry and money. The money is gone when the jewelry is given to the consignment shop.”
I planned to transfer Wang Bo to the detention center, but my colleague said, “It’s better to tell Old Mrs. Liu, after all, it’s a relative’s theft. It’s safer.” Sure enough, The old lady Liu heard the news, immediately asked to withdraw the case.
A few days later, Wang bo was freed after his detention expired, and he still gambled extensively. Valuable items in Mrs Liu’s home also began to be “lost”.
Every time, Liu2 Lao3 Tai4 all paranoid think “this time is really the thief stem of”, she many times call the police for help, but every time sit down to really still be Wang2 Bo, then Liu2 Lao4 Tai4 will run to the police station again demand to drop the case.
This was repeated several times.
On several occasions, I directly told Mrs. Liu, “You are condoning Wang Bo’s illegal behavior.” But Mrs. Liu always shed tears in silence. “I don’t want to send him to prison with my own hands. When I die, these things are his too, and he may sell them as he pleases.”

At the end of February 2015, a fight broke out in the Bridgehead Hotel. By the time my colleagues and I arrived at the scene, the two sides had been pulled apart. It was Wang Bo’s sister-in-law and Mrs. Liu who did it.
The Qiaotou Hotel was opened by Wang Bo’s eldest brother, Wang Cheng. A few days ago, Wang Bo came to the store to borrow 60,000 yuan from him, saying that he was going to open an auto repair factory with his friends in Hunan province. Thinking that Wang could neither fix a car nor run a shop, Wang immediately decided, “This time he borrowed money under the guise of going to the casino to chase the money.”
Wang refused on the spot. Seeing that he could not borrow any money from his brother, Wang Went back to find Mrs. Liu to “do some work”. Old Lady Liu was fooled by Wang Bo and went to the shop to borrow money for Wang Bo. Although he did not believe that his brother would really open a garage, wang cheng was afraid of making his mother angry, so he finally took out 30,000 yuan from the shop and asked his mother to turn it over to his brother.
Mr. Liu was not happy about not getting the amount he expected, but at least he gave it. But when Liu was about to leave, she happened to meet Wang Cheng’s wife. Her daughter-in-law was determined not to let Liu take the money away. The two of them first argued, then quarreled, and finally moved directly into action.
“You go and find out. Maybe your brother will be of some use this time.” I advised Wang Cheng.
“Don’t give me the word ‘good use’. He comes here every time for good use, and the casino is his good use!” Wang Cheng’s head shook like a rattle.
“Because thirty thousand dollars to let the wife and mother face, not worth it.” I advised him.
“This is just a reason. The 350,000 she took from my brother last time to pay off his debts is the main reason for my wife’s anger.” Wang cheng said.
After some mediation, Liu finally took the 30,000 yuan, and Wang’s wife left the police station in tears.

In the middle of March, I went to wang Cheng’s shop for a routine fire inspection. His hotel has always been a “three-in-one” place (production, business and self-accommodation are prohibited by fire regulations), and his family lives in a room on the second floor of the hotel.
The fire department of public security bureau has been notified of fire hazards for many times, but Wang Cheng has not been rectified. After the inspection, I told Wang about it and asked him to move out with his family.
“How can I move without money?” Wang Cheng was gloomy.
“The restaurant is doing so well that you’ve made a lot of money, haven’t you? The house is almost enough. Are you going to buy a villa to live in?” “I quipped.
“Who doesn’t want to buy a house? Who wants a family to live in a store? Last time for Wang Bo debt is my savings ready to buy a house, the real estate is determined, this is good, the money is gone, I also buy a ghost!”
“Why are you filling your brother with holes like that?”
“A mother born, what do you say?”
“Brothers are true, but after all, as adults, no one rules that you have to pay his gambling debts.”
“Well, things are different in my family.” Wang shook his head. “My mother forced me to pay my brother’s debt.”
Mrs. Liu could only grasp the eldest son as a lifeline and ask him to pay her brother’s debts. Mrs. Liu could only hold on to her eldest son and ask him to pay her brother’s debts.
Wang’s father died early, and his mother, Surnamed Liu, with two “dirty bottles”, struggled to make ends meet by setting up food stalls. With a tenacity, Liu Leng is a small food stand made into a shop, but also in the city to buy a second-hand house.
Wang Bo was born prematurely. He was barely able to survive, and his father died when he was two years old. Old Mrs. Liu felt that her little son had a hard life, and she was submissive to him from an early age.
His two sons grew up gradually. Wang cheng and his mother have been running a snack bar since he graduated from junior high school. Wang Bo was admitted to the technical secondary school and entered the city printing and dyeing factory after graduation. After the two brothers got married, Old Lady Liu decided to “retire”, feeling that her task had been completed. After several times of consideration, she gave the shop to Wang Cheng, who had business experience, and the house to Wang Bo, who had a formal job. She took her savings with Wang Bo.
In those years, the two brothers looked after each other, Wang Bo got the house to support his mother, Wang Cheng devoted himself to the management of the snack shop, and the whole family lived in harmony and harmony.
In 2008, national Highway 318 was rerouted and fell right in front of the snack bar at its junction with the city’s outer ring road. The customers of the snack bar soared. Wang and his wife were flexible and practical, and their business was booming. In 2010, the couple bought two nearby facades and opened the Wangcheng Hotel.
But Wang bo somehow contracted the bad habit of gambling and lost his job and his wife later divorced him. Over the years, Wang spent his time in mahjong parlors and casinos, not only losing his mother’s savings, but also running up huge debts.
Wang Cheng and Mrs. Liu tried their best, but failed to pull Wang Bo out of the casino. Accompanied by Wang Bo’s high-stakes gambling, a batch of creditors arrived in great numbers, including some professional code-breakers and desperados with a background of black and evil forces. Not in charge of the younger son, and afraid of the younger son of the accident of old Mrs. Liu, can only grasp the eldest son this straw, asked him to pay for the younger brother.

The elder brother was like his father, and Wang Cheng always did what he could to help his younger brother deal with various creditors. First three thousand, then ten thousand. At last, Wang Cheng felt that he could not bear it.
“At the end of 2011, he owed ‘headmaster’ (slang for one who organizes gambling) 100,000 yuan in xiantao’s yard. The debt collector chased him to his home, and I paid it back for him.”
“In 2012, he cheated his friends by saying that he was a partner in a company and went to Xinjiang to gamble with hundreds of thousands of others. I was afraid that he would be arrested by the police and sent to prison, so I returned the money for him.”
“Last year, he was blocked in Sha City by debt collectors. The other party threatened to give him a leg instead of money within two days. I took the money to redeem him and he was slapped twice.”
Add in the money to redeem his mother’s house, and wang cheng has paid nearly one million yuan for his brother.
“He gambles and I ‘pay’ for it. Almost all the money he makes from his restaurant business over the years has filled his hole.” “At first, I really wanted to,” Wang said. “After all, it’s my brother. Later, I really don’t want to control, casino no father and son ah, let alone brothers. He cheated himself out of his gambling addiction, and then he didn’t go home at all.”
Tired of the discipline of his mother and brother at home, Wang began to wander away for a long time. When he came home occasionally, he was often driven to the wall by debt collectors.
In the face of his brother owed more and more ridiculous amount of gambling debt, Wang said to his mother more than once do not want to tube, but every time at this time, The old lady Liu tearfully entreated him, finally directly to death.
“My mother said that Wang Bo is also my brother, and I won’t help him. Maybe one day he will be killed by the debt collector outside. My mother has experienced the loss of a young father and a middle-aged husband. She doesn’t want to suffer the loss of a child in her old age.”
Wang cheng is afraid of old Lady Liu really hard, even if they do not want to, but can only hold the hole to his brother. But Wang Bo seems to have grasped his brother’s soft rib, in the future, he had an accident directly to find his mother for help.
“My mother is getting old and her brain isn’t working as well. My brother can trick her into coming to me for money with any excuse. I said I borrowed it, but I never paid it back. Now, my own family is being dragged down by my brother. Officer, has this ever happened to anyone else’s house? What else can I do?” Wang Cheng lit a cigarette and took a long puff.
I have encountered similar things, except a few with affection, most of the result is relatives against each other. I had no choice but to tell the truth about Wang Cheng’s request for help.
“These are good years,” Wang sighs. “I wish I could concentrate on doing my hotel well, but this is the case, alas.”

After Liu Lao Tou took 30,000 yuan from Wang Cheng, the police station about Wang Bo stopped for more than half a year.
I think Wang Cheng “saved” his brother this time. Later, when I met Wang Cheng and talked with him, he also felt that he had wronged his brother.
But half a year later, in September 2015, the Hunan police paid a surprise visit to Wang Bo and asked for his information, because he was suspected of fraud and theft. The visiting police told me that From April to August 2015, Wang Bo, together with others, sold or mortgaged 13 customers’ cars to the loan company in the name of setting up an auto repair factory, and obtained more than 2.9 million stolen money, all of which was used for gambling.
Wang bo was caught in an underground casino along the China-Myanmar border, where he had been gambling for three days and nights. He was found with less than 1,000 yuan left over from the more than 2.9 million he had stolen.
Word came that the sky had fallen on the Wangs.
“The Hunan police arrested the wrong man,” Liu argued obstinately. “Wang Bo couldn’t have done such a big thing.” She was nervous as in the police station Shouting: “Injustice, it must be injustice!” The sudden blow also upset Wang, who abandoned his business and stayed in the police station’s reception room smoking cigarettes.
Hunan police quickly produced relevant evidence, and asked the mother and son to cooperate with the investigation. The two sides talked into the night. In the early morning, Wang accompanied his mother to leave the police station in a hurry.
The mother who hung in front of her son’s hotel
On September 27, 6 days after the Hunan police left, at 5 am, the command center 110 transferred to the police and said, “An old woman was hanged at the gate of Wangcheng Hotel”.
My colleague bundled me into a police car, checking with the command center all the way: “What are you talking about? Hanged? Did you hear me correctly?”
“It would take a great deal of enmity to hang a man at his gate early in the morning. That’s how their restaurants will operate in the future.” I thought to myself.
After arriving at the scene, I was shocked by what I saw. It was none other than Wang cheng’s mother, Mrs. Liu, who was hanging in front of wang Cheng Hotel.
Wang knelt beside his mother’s body in grief, while his wife stood motionless. The hospital ambulance left and the medical examiner arrived to perform an autopsy. I pulled Wang Into the police car and asked him what had happened.
Wang Cheng told me everything with tears in his eyes.
At first, Liu refused to believe wang Was arrested, but she had to accept it in the face of the evidence given by the Hunan police and Wang’s confession. Seeing everything has been unable to recover, Liu and Wang can only plead with the Hunan police to give Wang Bo a chance, “the family will do their best to cooperate.
Hunan police said the case had been settled and they had to raise the money as soon as possible to make up for Wang bo’s loss as much as possible, in an attempt to win understanding and get a lighter sentence in court. If not, wang could face at least 10 years in prison, or even life.
Liu and Wang Cheng fang incongruous, home after the beginning of the collection of savings, but they found that these years, the family has been wang Bo toss about completely. The only thing worth anything was the Wangcheng Hotel, where the whole family lived.
Mrs. Liu asked Wang Cheng to dish out the restaurant as soon as possible. Wang asked the market price, but replied: “The time is short, only to find a Xiantao boss willing to take over the whole money, but only bid more than 800,000.”
This is a far cry from the nearly $3 million fraud, and the hotel Wang condense years of hard work, is his foundation, he would not sell. The old lady can save the son, only said: “can gather together how much, not enough to borrow again, first save important.”
After several consultations, on the 24th, Wang Cheng and Xiantao boss agreed to trade the next day.
When Wang got home that night, he remembered that he had forgotten to tell his wife about the store because he was so busy before. He bravely told his wife the truth and hoped to be forgiven.
Without saying a word, Wang cheng’s wife went out to buy pesticide. “The hotel is our painstaking effort and the only place to stay. Before for Wang Bo, front and back have spent more than 1 million yuan, this time in order to save him to sell the shop, I will die to you!”
With his mother constantly urging him on the one hand and his wife threatening him with death on the other, Wang cheng is caught in a dilemma.
At first he blamed his wife for the inopportunitiy, but he calmed down and thought about where he was going once the table was offered. How do mothers, wives, and children survive? After thinking for a night, Wang cheng finally decided not to mend the hole for Wang Bo any more.
25 early in the morning, he turned down the telephone xiantao boss, arrived at his mother’s home, he told his mother what happened last night, also spoke out his own ideas.
At first, Mrs. Liu hysterically scolded him for not being brotherly and then slapped him in the face several times. Wang did not move, but suddenly she regained her composure again, sank into a chair, and asked, “For the last time, do you want to save your brother or not?”
“No.” Wang said firmly.
Then, he was driven out of the house by his mother, before going out, he heard his mother sigh: “this home, really to part.”
“I really didn’t think my mother would end up doing this…” Wang cheng then buried his head in his arms and burst into tears.

This time, Wang really did not raise money for his brother.
Wang was sentenced to life in prison because of the huge amount of money involved, the nature of the case and the fact that the victim lost nothing.
Because his mother committed suicide, Wang cheng’s restaurant has not opened since then, Wang Cheng contacted the xiantao boss before, asking for 500,000 yuan, but the other side rebuffed, “hanged a person at the gate, who dares to come to your restaurant to eat!”
Helpless, the storefront can only idle.
After finishing his mother’s funeral, Wang Cheng and his family moved to other places, and we never saw each other again. Occasionally, some of Wang bo’s old creditors would come to the police station to find someone, to which we could only reply, “He is in prison in Hunan. His family has been destroyed. Let’s go to the court and see if we can file a lawsuit.
Gradually, the matter of the Wangs was forgotten.
Just at the time of gambling, I will take a load of gamblers to the old site of Wang Cheng Hotel, pointing to the dilapidated front of the scold them: “bastards, hard to bet, your old mother will be like this, hanged in their own door!”
