The room was in a mess, except for the roof. A calligraphy painting of "Perfect Merit and Virtue" hangs on the beam, vaguely revealing the scene of the past. The reporter walked into the teahouse from the side door and unexpectedly found a middle-aged man in the room. From his mouth, it was confirmed that this is indeed "Qianqiu" The city where the anti-gambling tea house is located.

“We are an anti-gambling organization, and our purpose is to tell everyone that all gambling is a scam, so nine times out of ten you will lose. The guy said that if there are relatives and friends who are addicted to gambling, No matter whether it is poker or mahjong, any game can be played and revealed by them on the spot. “He knew he was cheated and stopped gambling. The man told the reporter that the teahouse has been renovated and left a phone number, indicating that he could call the number if he needed to perform on the spot.

The guy surnamed Zhang on the other end of the line claimed to be Xie Qianqiu’s partner. He was vague about their current work address and charging rates. He only said that he would send the meeting address after a certain amount of time. In response to Xie Qianqiu's movements, the young man said: "He came to study abroad, but not yet.

The 18,000 "study skills insurance" paid was exposed

Whether it was online promotion According to relevant personnel, Xie Qianqiu is a very successful "public welfare anti-gambling expert, and many people come here because of his reputation."

In mid-to-late July 2020, a Dai A young man with the last name went to a teahouse with his friends. He was obsessed with gambling and wanted to learn about "thousands of insider information" to warn himself not to gamble. Xie Qianqiu gave them a live demonstration of mahjong. "It was originally seven, but when he got it, it became 70,000, and a deck of cards was messed up. Dai was moved and immediately expressed that he wanted to learn this trick.

Those who deliberately teach them to commit crimes by spreading some groundless criminal methods due to improper speech, or working in the field of teaching martial arts, mechanical and electrical maintenance, teaching, creation, or judicial administration. Even if there are mistakes in analyzing criminal methods within the scope of the job, or even being used by others to commit crimes, because there is no intention to teach criminal methods, they cannot be criminalized.
