The person who filed the report this time was a teenager, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.
After entering the room, he seemed hesitant and didn't speak until Su He asked him twice. He then said that he felt his mother had been deceived, which was why he wanted to report the case.
The boy's name was Chen Changsheng, and from what he said, it seemed that he and his mother lived alone.
Upon hearing this, Su He asked, "Then why didn't you call your mother to come and report the case?"
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng looked up at her cautiously, then shook his head. "My mom doesn't believe me. I tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen, so I took a leave of absence from school and came here secretly."
Lu Xia glanced at him in surprise after hearing this, not expecting that this seemingly weak child was quite thoughtful.
"Okay, then tell me, how do you think Mother was deceived?"
Later, she learned from Chen Changsheng that her mother's name was Shi Ping, and she was 33 years old this year. Her father died in an accident at work before she was born. She was a posthumous child. Because her father's death caused her mother to have too much emotional fluctuation, she did not take good care of herself during pregnancy, so she was weak and sickly after she was born.
Chen Changsheng's mother did not remarry after giving birth to him, firstly because she was afraid he wouldn't grow up properly, and secondly because if she remarried, she wouldn't be able to take over the job left by Chen's father.
So she has been single for many years, and the mother and son depend on each other for survival. In addition, the elders in the Chen family take care of them from time to time, so they live a pretty good life.
However, a few years ago, Shi Ping suddenly met a pen pal, and the two became close and gradually started dating.
Of course, because they lived far apart and had never met in person, they communicated only through letters to discuss their relationship.
We've kept in touch almost every month, and we've maintained contact over the years.
Gradually, the family found out about it.
Chen Changsheng felt that his mother had been too lonely all these years, so he did not stop her from finding a partner.
The Chen family was the same. After all, she had been taking care of Chen Changsheng for so many years, and they couldn't keep delaying her. So when they found out she was dating, they didn't say anything.
However, Chen Changsheng only recently learned that her boyfriend had been borrowing money from her mother under various pretexts since last year.
One by one, I ended up lending out nearly a thousand yuan!
This is all the family's savings, part of which was his father's pension from back then.
His mother hadn't told him about the loan until this month when he noticed the food at home had become less nutritious, and only then did he find out the reason.
He immediately suspected that his mother might have been scammed, since they had never even met the person.
But his mother didn't believe it and even showed her a one-inch photo of the man. The man in the photo was indeed good-looking, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and an upright demeanor; he looked like a good person.
After seeing his appearance, Chen Changsheng did hesitate, but a photo doesn't prove anything. A swindler doesn't have his face written on his lips, but the money he handed over was real.
Although my mother said that person would return it, how could it be returned when we haven't even seen the person?
Seeing that he couldn't persuade his mother, he had no choice but to report the case to the police himself.
...
After hearing the story, Su He didn't know what to say. Why did the plot sound so familiar?
Isn't this a typical online dating scam case from later generations?
People in the 1960s were too naive; they couldn't even see through such an obvious scam!
Just as they were about to say they would go and find out what was going on, Chen Changsheng pleaded, "Officers, could you please investigate this discreetly? I don't want my mother to know the results before they're in."
