On July 2nd, in a residential building in front of Fengyuan Railway Station in Taichung, the cold bodies of the owner of a military supplies store surnamed Wang and his family of five silently accused a carefully planned and closely pursued "Golden Bean" investment scam. This deadly trap, under the guise of "purchasing gold on behalf of others," ultimately led to the shocking tragedy of the Wang couple and their three adult children collectively committing suicide by burning charcoal. Among them, their second daughter, who was already married, was three months pregnant, with one body and two lives, which is heartbreaking.

The police investigation shows that the starting point of the scam began with Ms. Zhang, a beauty salon classmate of the eldest daughter of the Wang family. Ms. Zhang recommended her eldest daughter to a female group buying owner surnamed Li who called herself "Captain Li". The girl group leader used "purchasing gold on behalf of others" as bait to weave a dream of sudden wealth and lure the Wang family into investing huge amounts of money. When the scam became unsustainable and the Wang family was heavily in debt, she not only did not stop, but also intensified her actions, coldly instructing the Wang family to turn to pawnshops and underground banks to borrow deadly high interest loans. What's even more outrageous is that she has repeatedly threatened "life safety" and made naked death threats against the Wang family. The Wang family exhausted their life savings but still struggled to fill the abyss of huge debts, ultimately being forced into a desperate situation, leaving behind blood and tears of regret f

or trusting Zhang too much and regretting investing in fake investments. They passed away with regret.

Ms. Zhang and Ms. Li involved in the case were interviewed by the police on the 4th. It is preliminarily determined that Ms. Zhang is only a matchmaker and is restricted from living. Ms. Li, who is regarded as the core figure, once again showed her coldness in the police station: although she arrived on time, she claimed to be unwell and was sent to the hospital for a while. She avoided the serious and deliberately delayed the progress of the trial. It was not until the evening of the 5th that the police were able to transfer him to the Taichung District Prosecutors Office on charges of fraud, intimidation, and money laundering. After the prosecutor's inquiry, Ms. Li was ordered to pay 150000 yuan on bail in the early morning of the 6th, and her residence, exit, and sea travel were restricted.

The Taichung prosecutor's office is deeply saddened by this tragedy and has issued a stern warning: investment projects that claim to be "recommended by acquaintances", "guaranteed profits", and "high returns", especially popular targets such as gold and virtual currencies, are highly likely to be carefully designed scams. Be vigilant and verify the legitimacy of investment platforms. Do not easily believe others' one-sided words, and do not borrow or even borrow high interest loans for investment. Once threatened or intimidated, one should immediately report to the police for assistance.
