After several months of work, the police finally successfully identified the suspect’s temporary residence in other provinces. On August 30, 2021, with the cooperation of the local public security organs, the police successfully controlled 9 people including Yin Mouli and Hu Mouyu, the anchors of the gang.
After interrogation, the criminal suspects Yin Mouli, Hu Mouyu and others confessed to the facts of their crimes. They confessed that they are all online anchors, relying on hype to attract fans to pay attention to the live broadcast room, and then divert the fans to the established QQ group, where they promote gambling software and publish QR codes for fans to scan and download. Moreover, gambling software is specially designed to allow people who participate in gambling to lose more and win less. For every person successfully recruited, Yin Mouli and others can receive a commission of nearly a thousand yuan.
At present, nine suspects including Yin Mouli and Hu Mouyu have been criminally detained by Haidian police in accordance with the law on suspicion of illegal use of information networks, and the case is under further trial.
