Li Wenxing’s death once again “poke” the social pain points of MLM.
On August 4, reporters came to Jinghai District, Tianjin City, focusing on the puddle where Li Wenxing died. After an on-the-spot investigation, he found that before Li Wenxing's death, a large number of MLM personnel gathered in the suburbs of Jinghai City, threatening to "siege the city."
The puddle is next to the highway.
5 kilometers away from Jinghai Public Security Bureau.
Li Wenxing was found dead in a puddle. According to police reports, it is located 100 meters south of the North Outer Ring Road in Jinghai District and near the west side of the West Outer Ring Road.
On August 4, the reporter discovered through on-site visits that this puddle is actually next to the Jingwai Ring Road. Or because the puddle is deep, there is little water, and it is covered with green plants, it is really difficult to find a puddle on the roadside that no one is approaching. There are burning ashes in an open space in the direction of Jinghai City. On the grass not far away were police protective plastic gloves.
According to a sanitation worker, a body was indeed found in this puddle on July 14. "It's a young man. Male." After being recovered by the fire brigade, the body was found to be male and fully clothed. After a forensic examination of the body surface, no external injuries were found. An ID card was found in his pocket, showing that Li Wenxing was born in Rendezhuang Village, Haowangzhuang Town, Wucheng County, Shandong Province.
People enter the water before death.
Dead by drowning, no external injuries
In this article published late at night without a reporter’s signature, Jinghai police also reported the news of Li Wenxing’s death, and that Li Wenxing was indeed trapped in a trap before his death. A MLM organization called "Butterfly Bud".
According to the Jinghai police report, the police found an ID card, a notebook and money from Li Wenxing’s body. The contents recorded in the notebook were suspected of being brainwashed by pyramid schemes. According to the characteristics of MLM organizations in the past, new employees must be controlled and brainwashed after entering the MLM organization. During the control period, mobile phones, ID cards, and money were all confiscated. After brainwashing, MLM's activities were recognized and they could come and go as they pleased. According to this, Li Wenxing was a person who could move freely in the MLM organization before his death. Based on the autopsy, the police believe that homicide is unlikely.
Being deceived and exposed
False recruitment on the platform as bait
According to the investigation, the police basically figured out the whole story of how Li Wenxing was deceived into the "Butterfly Bud" MLM organization process.
The article stated that Yang, a man from Henan, and a man from Shaanxi used their mobile phones and emails to publish false recruitment information in the name of the company on the BOSS direct recruitment website. Li Wenxing immediately submitted his resume, and Chen contacted Li Wenxing online and defrauded Li Wenxing's trust with a high salary.
Li Wenxing took the high-speed train from Beijing to Tianjin South Railway Station on May 20, and was picked up by his client Zhang (male, 24 years old, from Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, a low-level backbone of the organization). Later, at the request of Hu (female, 20 years old, from Jiangxi), the dormitory manager of the organization, several people took control of Li Wenxing.
After 20 days of work, the case has been investigated by the police as an illegal pyramid scheme. At present, the public security organs have criminally detained the suspect Zhang.
On the morning of August 4, when the reporter visited the puddle, many police officers also came here to check. However, these police officers declined interviews with reporters.
Roadside Forest Party
The remnants are now in the July 14th paper.
From noon to noon, except for the cars speeding by on the wide road, there are very few pedestrians passing by around the puddle. There were two cars parked on a side road next to the puddle. One was a van filled with junk. One is a bus. There is a sign outside the driver's window with two words written on it: fast food.
Judging from the marks on the ground nearby and the dust on the bodies, the two cars have been parked here for a long time. On the lower right side of the bus windshield, there is a piece of paper with a mobile phone number written on it. When I called, the other party hung up and didn't answer.
"Not long ago, many people gathered in this forest." There was a mobile vendor from Henan on the roadside 100 meters away from the water hole. He said, "What do these people do? They engage in pyramid schemes."
As we walked into the woods behind the mobile vendors, the closer we got to the puddle where Li Wenxing died, the more living things were left on the ground. It can be seen that there are indeed many people gathered here. In a bush, a photo published by Tianjin Daily on July 17, 2014 caught the reporter's attention. Because at 18:55 on this day, Li Wenxing's body was found in a nearby puddle.
It can be seen from the above analysis that the MLM organization was operating nearby on the day Li Wenxing died. We should investigate from here to find out the clues.
