This happened at the end of 2017.

At that time, I had just returned to Guiyang on an Air China flight from Shanghai when I met two policemen who claimed to be from Shenzhen. They said that there was a case and they needed to take me to the Wudang District Public Security Bureau to assist in the investigation. I said what kind of case it is. A tall police officer said, you will know after you go there.

In fact, when they mentioned the word Shenzhen, I had already guessed it.

I was taken to a small office. As soon as I sat down, I couldn't help but ask: "Are you here because of Wang Hai's matter?"

After hearing what I said, the tall policeman immediately said: "It seems that you know Since we mentioned him, let’s not go around in circles. What is your relationship with Wang Hai and what you have done before?” I asked: “He committed the crime. What's the matter?"

Another short police officer said seriously: "Do you think I can tell you anything about the case? Don't ask anything you shouldn't. Just tell us what we asked you. Explain clearly. If you are found to have concealed something, you should know the consequences." As soon as the short police officer finished speaking, the tall police officer added: "Actually, we have already investigated you. . You are going to Shanghai in the middle of every month, right? Don’t take any chances. You must have a correct attitude in front of us.”

The words of these two police officers made me feel scared. This is not because of what I did in Wang Hai's case, but because I am afraid of him.

Wang Hai is indeed a terrible person. The scary thing about him is that he is like a shadow behind you, following you and haunting you all the time.

Wang Hai is my college classmate. He is from Guangzhou. He is about 1.8 meters tall and tall. I've known him since I first entered college. At that time, he took the initiative to introduce me to me with a smile and speaking Cantonese Mandarin. I still had a very good impression of him, and this good impression lasted for a while.

At first I thought Wang Hai was an extremely diligent person. Unlike many college students who spend all day playing games in the dormitory, he uses his extracurricular time to work part-time. In the first semester of his freshman year, he also worked as a tutor outside.

In addition, I also think he can endure hardship. During his sophomore year, his mother unfortunately suffered from cancer. In order to treat his mother, his father spent all the family money. In order to earn tuition fees, he lived frugally and even ate the same Lao Gan Ma noodles for more than a month. Later, he worked part-time and paid the annual tuition fee of more than 10,000 yuan.

His actions can easily win the sympathy of his classmates. However, after interacting with him for a long time, I found that he was different from others in many ways.

First of all, his city is extremely deep.

After the first semester of my freshman year, Wang Hai and I were the only ones left in the dormitory. Just when I was going to the train station to buy a ticket, I suddenly found that my ID card was missing and I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked for it. To this end, I asked Wang Hai. But he smiled and asked me: "How do I know where your ID card is? Did you leave it behind when you rented a room with a girl?"

At that time, I really thought that the ID card was my own. Be careful of losing it. But it wasn't until the Shenzhen police officers investigated the case that I learned that this ID card had been hidden by Wang Hai.

Secondly, he is only interested in profit.

In order to make money, he sold knockoff tablets and second-hand laptops. But in order to sell these, he often finds people to forge some certificates to convince buyers that they are genuine.

Again, he is hypocritical.

He embodied the word hypocrisy to its fullest.

Once, he smashed my piano in the dormitory for no reason. The next day, he pretended as if nothing had happened and had no intention of apologizing at all. It was not until later that when he asked me for help, he said all the nice things to me in a false and sincere way.

When I introduced Wang Hai's situation to the two police officers, they asked curiously: "Since you found out that he is such a person, why are you still cooperating with him?"

I said: "It was because I was forced by many things. In early June 2014, when I returned to my hometown in Guizhou from Shenzhen, I regretted signing a contract with him. Because the contract stated that if I breached the contract, "Eight million?" the short police officer laughed loudly, "what eight million? You only have eight million!" You didn’t make it up, did you? You must explain it to me today!”

I said: “No one with any brains would sign this with anyone else.” A bullshit contract with a liquidated damages of eight million? However, this just shows that Wang Hai is very good at scheming."

The short police officer smiled and said: "That's true, if he is not good at scheming. I can’t get any money out of it.”

Then, I lit a cigarette, trying to eliminate the fear in my heart with the lingering smoke. I finished my cigarette and told the two police officers what happened.

In June 2013, I ended my four-year college career. Just when I was thinking about where to go in life, my father unfortunately suffered from Alzheimer's disease. My mother said sternly to me: "Your dad is suffering from this disease, and I can't take care of it by myself. In my opinion, you should stop looking for a job and join me at home to take care of your dad, and pick up your dad's team by the way." . ”

My father is a craftsman and has always made a living by making the guqin, a traditional musical instrument. He was sickly all his life and was in extremely poor health. Everything in the family, big or small, is taken care of by my mother. But my mother is from a rural area and has not read many books since she was a child, so her knowledge is very low. I feel quite disgusted with this decision my mother made for me. However, my mother's character is so strong that I dare not complain too much.

Since it’s not what I love, I don’t put much effort into making the piano. My mother thought at the time that this was because I was lonely. So she asked my cousin to introduce me to a girlfriend. She thinks that as long as I get married, I can practice Guqin in a down-to-earth manner. However, I never thought that the cause of everything started with this girlfriend.

My cousin has opened a small company in Kaili, and this girlfriend is a new employee of her company, a woman from the countryside.

From that woman’s perspective, my cousin is her boss, and my family’s conditions should not be bad. Therefore, when my cousin introduced me to her, the woman was particularly proactive. On the first day we met, he told me that he wanted to date me.

In the days that followed, I was obsessed with that woman. At that time, my father's condition became more serious. He would wander around at night and urinate and defecate everywhere. In order to take care of him, my mother could not sleep every night, and she was on the verge of collapse. But I was seduced by the woman's few words, and I was often not at home but hanging out with her. My mother was desperate for me.

The woman later asked me for money many times. The 30,000 yuan I had in my hand at that time was purchased from a piano friend in Guiyang in the winter of 2014. Because of her troubles, I spent more than 20,000 yuan on her.

While I was hanging out with that woman, my cousin suddenly called my mother and asked me to break up with her. Because while she was in a relationship with me, she was also having an affair with another man.

After hearing what my cousin said, my mother was extremely angry. In addition to forcing me to sever my relationship with that woman, she also wanted my 30,000 yuan back. But at that time, I only had three thousand left in my hand. If my mother found out about this, I was afraid I would be kicked out of the house. Just when I was extremely frightened, I suddenly thought of Wang Hai.

In my opinion, although Wang Hai is annoying, his ability to make money is very strong. After four years of college, in addition to earning his own tuition, he also earned more than 100,000 for himself. Less than a year after graduation, he opened a company making water purifier equipment in Shenzhen.

If I can ask him to help me sell two pianos privately and repay the 30,000 yuan to my mother, then I can get out of the current predicament.

During the two-hour phone call, Wang Hai seemed to be very sympathetic to my current situation. He said to me: "Just tell your mother. I don't believe she really doesn't recognize you."

I said: "You don't know her character. If she learns about me After spending all the 30,000 yuan, she will kill me."

He hesitated for a while and continued to say to me: "Then what do you want to do?"

I said: "I still have some pianos at home. I want to take out two of them secretly and ask you to help me sell them over there."

After Wang Hai heard this, he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he paused and said, "I don't understand your guqin either! Besides, wouldn't your mother know if you took it out?"

I said, "There are probably guqins in a room. Hundreds of them. She can't count them."

After hearing what I said, Wang Hai pretended to ask: "You won't lie to me?"

" I won’t lie to anyone, please help me!”

He is still trying to hide his feelings towards me. He said: "I'll try my best, but I'm not sure if I can sell it." In addition, he also asked me to relax the atmosphere at home and think about the woman's affairs, thinking that I wouldn't suffer. There was such earnest concern in his tone that I was immediately blinded by him.

Another day later, my mother urged me, saying that I must transfer the money to her in the next two days. I had no choice but to call Wang Hai again.

Wang Hai deliberately whetted my appetite and said, "Well, I know a calligraphy teacher who might like the guqin. But I don't know the quality of your guqin. Otherwise, you can bring it with you tomorrow. I brought the two pianos to Shenzhen and showed them to him.”

I agreed to Wang Hai without hesitation. Just like that, I stole two pianos from home overnight and ran to Shenzhen.

After I arrived in Shenzhen, Wang Hai told me that the teacher was in Guangzhou. Qin, he will take him there tomorrow, and I will stay in Shenzhen to wait for news about him.

I was staying in a hotel in Shenzhen and was worried about Wang Hai selling his piano all day long. At that time, my mother sent several messages in succession asking me where I was, but I did not dare to reply. On the afternoon of the third day, Wang Hai came back from Guangzhou and said to me with a smile that the Qin matter has been settled. One Qin is 15,000 yuan, and the total payment is 30,000 yuan. The teacher transferred the money to my card in two days. My nervous heart finally relaxed.

That afternoon, Wang Hai and I had dinner in a nearby restaurant. During the meal, I said thank you very much this time. He smiled and said, it's okay, we are all old classmates, your business is my business, don't be so polite. Don't forget, you are my pistachio.

Then he asked me with a smile: "What are your plans for the future?"

I told him to give the money to my mother first, and we will talk about the future.

He said: "Actually, what future do you have in the countryside? Your father no longer makes pianos. Are you sure you can sell them with hundreds of pianos in the house? To be honest, I think you are quite good at it. Talented people are rare research talents, but you are not suitable for business.”

Wang Hai’s words touched a nerve in my body and made me involuntarily sad. stand up. Seeing my sad expression, he comforted me and said, "There is something I don't know whether to say or not."

I said, "We are all old classmates, there is nothing we can't say."

p>

Only then did he express his true thoughts. He said he wanted to work with me.

What he means is that Shenzhen is a developed city with many development opportunities here. Didn't my mother ask me to be a piano? Then I will come to Shenzhen to make piano. If I come to Shenzhen, he can provide a venue and help me find materials. I'm only responsible for making the piano. In the future, if Qin succeeds, the profits will be divided between the two of them.

At that time, he described this matter very beautifully in front of me.

But I know what kind of person he is in college, and I still have some worries. However, he said something at the end that made me immediately determined to cooperate with him.

He said, I lack recognition from others in my life. If I don’t believe in myself, I won’t even be able to hold my head up at home in the future. If I come to Shenzhen to make pianos, I will create my own brand. If this thing succeeds and I buy a house and a car in Shenzhen in the future and return to my hometown in rural Guizhou, it will not be that others look down on me, but that I will look down on others. If I still have concerns about cooperation, he can take me to visit his company to see his capabilities.

It must be said that Wang Hai’s words are indeed extremely inflammatory.

After Wang Hai and I finished eating, he took me to stay at his house. At night, he suddenly brought over a contract, as if it had been prepared a long time ago. The contract stipulates the division of labor and profit between me and him. First of all, he was responsible for setting up a Guqin studio in Shenzhen and purchasing Guqin materials. Secondly, if the Guqin is successful, he will be responsible for the sales, and I cannot sell it privately. Thirdly, during the cooperation period, I could not go out at will, and I had to make it clear to him where I was going. Finally, if Guqin can be sold in the future, the profits will be distributed based on the number of shares. The shareholding ratio is 51% for him and 49% for me. In addition, and the most important thing is that if I breach the contract in the future, I will compensate him eight million in liquidated damages.

When I saw such a contract, my heart skipped a beat. I asked Wang Hai, why is the liquidated damages so high?

He smiled and said to me, these eight million are not really eight million, but to restrain me. He said that he provided everything, and if I didn't make the guqin, he would suffer a great loss. Or, if I succeed in making the piano at his place, then if I do it outside privately, he will gain more than he loses.

He finally said to me in a coaxing manner: "We have been classmates for four years in college, and I will not cheat anyone else. If you agree, we will sign the contract. Could it be that Don’t you even have the courage to achieve your goals?”

As soon as I said this, the tall police officer interrupted me and asked, “How dare you sign such a contract?”

I said: "I was brainwashed by him at the time. My mind was filled with the word success. How could I have thought of so much? However, when I later returned to my hometown in Guizhou and thought about the contract, I realized that I had been deceived by him."

"How to say?"

"He must have thought that I would not fulfill the contract. His purpose was not to get the eight million, but to get my piano. "

My words seemed to hit the key points that the two police officers needed to investigate. The tall police officer said: "Explain this to me clearly."

I said that if he wanted me to compensate him eight million, I wouldn't be able to pay him even if I had to pay for my life. But he knows that I still have hundreds of pianos in my house, and he can force me to return them to him as liquidated damages.

The tall police officer asked: "Then did you give him the piano?"

I said: "Yes. This happened after my father passed away."

Four

On the day I signed the contract and returned to Guizhou, my father passed away. After Wang Hai learned the news of my father's passing, he immediately came over from Shenzhen to visit me. In fact, what I think about now is that the main purpose of his visit that time was to see if there were so many pianos in my house.

After my father’s funeral, I completely cut off all contact with that woman. After thinking twice about cooperation, I decided not to go to Shenzhen, but to get a temporary job at Guiyang Airport.

Regarding that contract, I consulted a lawyer in Guiyang. The lawyer said, tell me not to worry. National law stipulates that the maximum amount of liquidated damages in a contract shall not be higher than the actual amount of losses. What's more, in that contract, many details were not spelled out clearly, so even if there was a lawsuit, I would not be greatly affected.

Although the lawyer's words made me feel more at ease, I was still worried that Wang Hai would come to see me.

Now it seems that this worry is not unnecessary.

After he returned to Shenzhen, he often called me and sent me messages. He is like a ghost in the dark, always watching you. I was extremely scared and often had nightmares, but I didn't dare to tell him that I didn't want to cooperate. Until one day, he somehow got my mother’s phone number. He told my mother about our cooperation and threatened my mother that if I breached the contract, I would pay high liquidated damages. My mother was furious after hearing this and scolded him on the spot.

However, Wang Hai did not give up and still sent me messages from time to time. That winter, I really couldn't stand his harassment, so I took the initiative to tell him my thoughts.

I said: "I am working in Guiyang now. As for the eight million, I have consulted a lawyer. National law stipulates that liquidated damages must not be higher than your actual losses. You are just trying to trick me." "Classmate."

After a while, he replied with a message that said: "I don't care who you consulted, but I have actually lost more than 100,000. I can ask the best in Guangdong." A lawyer is here to help me win this case. In addition, besides taking legal action, I can make you pay in other ways. If you don’t believe in my ability, then give it a try. I don't want to do this. Well, I don't want you to pay me back the eight million. I only need you to repay the more than one hundred thousand I lost. However, I don't think you have that much money. Here I have a suggestion. Just give me ten pianos from your family.”

I felt uneasy when I saw the message from Wang Hai. Because I know him well and he can do anything. If I didn't give him the piano, he might come to my hometown to find my mother. At that time, there happened to be several pianos in the house in Guiyang, and I wanted to give him two first.

I said: "I only have two pianos here in Guiyang."

He immediately sent a message: "Then you can send me these two pianos first."

p>

I never thought that the two pianos were damaged during transportation due to packaging issues. He later called me and told me that he had decided to come to Guiyang and wanted to pick up other pianos in person. On the other hand, he wants to ask for compensation from the express company here.

Hearing this, the short police officer asked from the side: "That means that at the end of 2014, he came to Guiyang to find you?"

"Yes." I said.

That winter, Wang Hai took a plane from Guangzhou to Guiyang. In order not to let him know that I still had Qin in my house in Guiyang, I lied to him that I was living in the staff dormitory at the airport. He had no doubt about it. That night, he took me to meet a man who claimed to be his godfather. According to him, that man has great supernatural powers and is related to both black and white. Now that I think about it, this is how he threatened me. After meeting his godfather, he asked me to stay with him in a hotel in Guiyang. In the hotel, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep all night.

At dawn the next day, he asked me to go to my hometown with him. When my mother saw this scene, she immediately had a quarrel with him. But Wang Hai is very scheming. He showed the contract to my mother and screamed. He said that if I signed the contract, it would have legal effect. The current situation is that I breached the contract and he lost money. If I don't compensate, I will have to go through legal proceedings. In addition, he told my mother that the godfather he took me to see him yesterday was from a similar path. He knew many people like this.

Then he stalked my mother, and my mother was forced to do nothing, and finally agreed to give him two pianos.

"Then has this matter been resolved?" the short policeman asked again.

"It's definitely not solved. His goal is to get ten pianos, and he won't give up until he reaches this goal. He told me that he hopes I will give him the remaining six pianos as soon as possible. He didn't want to use his connections for this matter. Because I was afraid, I decided to give him the remaining Qin from Guiyang." I lied to Wang Hai and told him not to worry, and I would do it. Mother’s ideological work. He said that he was in Guiyang these days and that I would contact him immediately after I got the piano.

Just like that, I took four more pianos. Before he left, he said that he wanted me to send the last two pianos to Shenzhen through logistics. I hope I packed the piano well this time so it doesn't get damaged in transit. When I sent the piano out, the stone in my heart fell.

The tall policeman asked: "Have you still contacted each other since then?"

I said: "Basically no contact. Once, he came to Guiyang Airport to take a taxi I met him when I was getting my boarding pass.”

After I finished telling him, the tall policeman suddenly asked, “I’m curious about something. Are you sure that he really invested? He just found a place and forged some documents, and you didn’t know that?” I said, “I had already guessed that he wouldn’t really invest. . But I was afraid that he would cause trouble for my mother."

Five

It was already late at night after the two police officers finished writing my transcript. The tall police officer said: "That's it for today. There will be some things that you and your mother need to identify tomorrow."

I asked: "This case shouldn't have anything to do with me, right?"

The tall police officer said righteously: "If what you just said is true, it doesn't matter. But if you tell lies to us, we will catch you even if you go to the end of the world."

The next morning, I received a call from the tall police officer. He asked me to come over with my mother.

When I came to the office last night again, I suddenly found that there were a few more pianos in the office. The tall police officer told me that these pianos were related to the case. In this way, you and your mother can point them out separately to see if you recognize these qins.

When I looked at these pianos carefully, I found that only two of them belonged to me, and there were several others that looked like low-end pianos sold on Taobao. Because the materials of the guqin made by my father are carefully selected.

The short policeman asked me to identify a pile of materials on the table. Among them is a copy of the ID card I lost at university. There were also some receipts with forged signatures of mine and my mother’s. There is also a power of attorney, which reads:

I, Su Wen, hereby entrust Wang Hai with full authority to sell the guqin owned by my father, Su Yu, in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.

The signature is still counterfeited to mine.

The tall police officer said: "The reason why I didn't tell you yesterday was because I was afraid that you would also participate. In the past few years, Wang Hai has committed criminal activities through Guqin in your name. This time The main thing here is to let you identify these evidences. If the situation is true, we will arrest him immediately. In addition, you will delete all the information about Wang Hai now. Also, after we take action there, he will be arrested. Your family may come to see you, and I hope you will not have any contact with them.”

I agreed repeatedly.

After the identification, the tall police officer asked me to sign the transcript. He said that he asked me to keep my mobile phone open at all times so that I could contact him at any time.

After my mother and I came out of the Public Security Bureau. My mother said to me, your classmate is too courageous to do such illegal and criminal activities. I didn't make it too obvious in front of the police just now. Those pianos are worth a few hundred dollars at most. However, he is also capable. I wonder where he got your father's piano? How much did you earn in your father's name?

I said, isn’t this the two pianos you gave him?

My mother said, no, how could I not remember the piano I gave him? Those two pianos are of average quality, and neither is the paint finish.

I took my mother’s hand and told her, actually, I don’t want to hide this from you anymore.

I was about to say what I said, and my mother smiled and said, "If we don't mention the past things, why bring up those unpleasant things?"

The mother suddenly said: "Do you know why I promised to give him the piano back then? It's actually very simple. I was afraid that he would harm you. I have lived for most of my life and have known countless people. You, a classmate, have a kind heart. Very bad.

”

For a moment, tears burst into my eyes. Only then did I feel that my mother understood everything. The wrinkles on her face exuded an old atmosphere.

After all these years, I have I misunderstood my mother.

In early 2018, the police officer in Shenzhen told me that Wang Hai had been arrested and asked me if I could go to Shenzhen. I said that it was not convenient for the police officer to go there. I didn’t say anything else.

It wasn’t until September 2017 that I suddenly saw a piece of news on the Internet and learned how Wang Hai committed the crime.

He directed and acted in a series of "big dramas" of insurance fraud.

After Wang Hai received compensation from SF Express for the two broken pianos I sent, he used them from 2015 to 2016. The courier did not repackage the goods and did not strictly inspect the goods. He sent the Guqin to other places by "self-sending and self-collecting" three times, and then complained to the insurance company on the grounds that the goods were damaged during transportation. A high amount of compensation was claimed. In the end, the total amount of fraud was RMB 200,000, and RMB 140,000 was successfully obtained.

In the end, the relevant Shenzhen court sentenced the defendant Wang Hai to three years in prison. Three years of probation and a fine.

Seeing this, I suddenly felt a little relieved and sighed. Fortunately, Wang Hai's fate just confirmed the saying that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. What I lament is that if I had been more rational back then, such dramatic events would not have happened.
