Although the city police initially had some doubts after receiving the report, they also felt something was wrong as they heard more of the story.
So they investigated the residents of the house provided by the old man as his "grandson-in-law".
It was discovered that their blind date coincided with a gap in the rental period for two tenants.
I asked the neighbors, and they said that people did come to the house during that time. They just thought the house had been rented out. They didn't expect that someone had found such a ready-made house to live in.
If the house is fake, then the person might also be fake.
So the police began investigating other families in the city introduced by the matchmaker.
In the end, 80% of the results were false.
That's a real 20%, and they weren't from any particularly good families.
She either marries someone who is missing an arm or a leg, or, ideally, someone who is older and has been married before.
Those who "married well" were all fake.
It can be said that this matchmaker was very clever; she didn't make it all fake, but mixed in some genuine ones, which explains why she wasn't discovered all these years.
Upon learning of this situation, the municipal police immediately arrested the matchmaker.
The matchmaker's surname is Yu, she is in her forties, and has been doing this job for over ten years.
He was very fat, which showed that he was living a good life. After being arrested, he was quickly frightened by the police and confessed.
According to her, she only started doing this five years ago, all for the money. After doing it once, she found that it was almost equivalent to several years of her income, so she couldn't stop.
But she also had principles. She tried to find people who didn't have good relationships with their families or who didn't have many family members. This made it harder for them to be discovered. She also made sure to mix in some genuine relationships so that these people would go back to her place from time to time, which would also make more people believe her.
Besides the conditions mentioned above, she usually chooses girls who are pretty.
In her words, it could fetch a good price.
The police were furious when they heard this; no one expected that someone would use the guise of matchmaking to sell their family members and daughters.
Not only that, they even offer themselves up! And those who give dowries, like the old man, are even more of a rip-off!
But it's no use thinking about that now. They were busy asking her how she sold them and where the people went.
However, the matchmaker was unaware of this; she said she mainly contacted a man called Third Brother.
She was in charge of selecting the women, while her third brother was in charge of selling them. Once the women were "married" into the family, they would leave immediately, so she didn't know where they were sold.
Based on this clue, the police conducted an investigation in Beijing, but found nothing.
The matchmaker and the third brother contacted each other every three months, but not every time there was "goods" (gifts); they would send "goods" about once every six months.
Matchmakers usually arrange everything in advance, so that once the "goods" are received, they will be taken away directly by the contact person.
After that, her task was finished, and she collected her money and went home.
They have been cooperating like this for many years.
And each time she came into contact with him, it wasn't with Third Brother himself, but with his contact person. Over the years, the contact person had changed several times, and the other party seemed to be very careful, always using a different person each time.
Their next contact was scheduled for two weeks later, and according to the matchmaker, she planned to "deliver" the goods this time.
The child has been identified; he is an orphan who lost both parents and is currently living with his uncle. Because he was adopted, he doesn't have a close relationship with his family.
That family wanted to make a dowry from her, so they agreed as soon as the matchmaker came to their door.
She'd already hired people to act out the scene, and was just waiting to get married!
