Chapter 3768 Tragic Incident
Chapter 3773 Tragic Incident
An hour later...
Mao Lilan asked others to look at the last photo, closed the album, and continued to chat with Koshimizu Nanatsuki about the incidents he and Kudo Shinichi had encountered before.
Mouri Kogoro didn't want to hear how powerful and wise a certain high school detective was, so he went downstairs to get some newspapers.
Chi Feichi discovered that the newspapers brought back by Maori Kogoro included the morning newspapers of the past two days, and took the initiative to ask for a copy from Maori Kogoro.
Mouri Kogoro generously handed today's morning newspaper to Chi Feichi. He sat aside and looked through yesterday's morning newspaper. He was soon surprised and said, "Is the whole family dead? This is too tragic..."
Conan suddenly lost interest in listening to the chat between Ran Maori and Nanatsuki Koshimizu. He moved closer to Kogoro Mouri and read the newspaper, "Uncle, did something happen recently?"
"It was a suicide." Mouri Kogoro looked at the report in the newspaper and sighed with a complicated expression. "A young couple who were in debt committed suicide with their young child."
After hearing what Maori Kogoro said, Mao Lilan stopped chatting with Koshimizu Nanatsuki and said in surprise, "How could..."
"The report mentioned that the couple borrowed money from underground banks three years ago. Over the past three years, they have been working hard to make money to repay the debt. However, the interest rates from underground banks were very high, and the male owner lost his job a year ago. They They had to sell their houses and cars to pay off their debts," Mouri Kogoro looked at the report and simply concluded, "But even so, they still couldn't pay off the debts, and because they really couldn't stand the harassment and coercion of the debt collectors, they He committed suicide with his young children.”
Chi Feichi looked at the newspaper in Maori Kogoro's hand and found that Maori Kogoro's rhetoric had beautified the incident a lot.
There are many underground banks in Japan that are related to violent societies, and some of the larger violent societies even run underground banks themselves.
At the same time, violent societies also operate real estate, customs, underground casinos and other industries, forming a sustainable gray industry chain with underground banks.
For those debtors who have borrowed money from underground banks and are overwhelmed by high interest rates, debt collectors will encourage the debtors to sell land and houses to repay the debts, and will also deliberately keep prices low.
Because in the loan contract signed by the two parties before, there may be a treaty such as "underground bank preferential acquisition", or because other forces are unwilling to offend the forces behind this underground bank, it will be difficult for debtors to find other companies with reasonable offers. Buyers can only sell their property and land to underground banks at low prices.
As for debtors who have no house or land, underground banks also have ways to extract benefits from these people. If the debtor is a young woman or a good-looking man, the debt collectors will lure these people into the custom industry. Those who are not suitable to enter the custom industry but have certain expertise can also be introduced by collection staff to work in casinos or other places.
If you encounter an underground bank that is not so ruthless, debtors still have a way to survive. After selling their houses and land, joining the custom industry, or working hard, they will have the opportunity to pay off their debts.
If you encounter ruthless underground banks, they will deliberately set traps for some debtors who have the potential to make money, such as deliberately leading the debtors to violate certain terms in the contract to increase the debtors' profits. Total debt, or guiding debtors to work in underground casinos, using underground casinos to set traps for debtors, in order to control debtors until the debtors' money and potential are completely squeezed out.
Of course, if a debtor can suddenly pay off a high debt like Midorikawa Saki did, then even if this debtor is a potential debtor in the eyes of the underground bank, it is unlikely that the underground bank will deliberately set up trap.
After all, if a debt-ridden person suddenly takes out a large sum of money, it is possible that he got the help of a big force. Underground bank managers will not offend other big forces just to save one or two potential debtors.
Only by surviving can you obtain more profits - this is a truth that almost all underground bank operators understand.
To put it bluntly, underground banks only bully those who are rich but have little background and who easily give in under pressure.
The couple in the report seem to be this type of people. The wife is young and beautiful, and the husband has good cooking skills. The two are definitely potential debtors in the eyes of underground banks, and there is nothing about the underworld that they cannot afford to offend. In the circle of friends They are all ordinary people, and the couple encountered an underground bank that acted ruthlessly. The result can be imagined, the couple worked very hard to After working for three years, I also endured a lot of humiliation. My wife even entered the custom industry. During this period, the two of them sold their house and car, all supported by the belief that "the family can live a good life after paying off the debt." However, they could not pay off their debts. It was probably because they thought that it would be difficult for their family to get rid of the vampires of the underground bank that the couple committed suicide with their children in despair...
Every year, many people commit suicide due to debts owed by underground banks, but it is rare for a whole family to commit suicide. Moreover, a young child died in this incident. This incident has obviously caused a lot of controversy. Few people paid attention to it, and the police also paid special attention to this family suicide.
The report also mentioned that the police suspected that the debt collectors of the underground bank had threatened the couple with their children or used other means to force the couple to do some illegal work. However, no tangible evidence has been found so far and they can only continue to investigate.
He didn't want to throw cold water on it, but the reality was that even if the police found evidence that the debt collection agent threatened and intimidated the couple, there was a high probability that they would only be able to arrest a few debt collection agents.
Considering the connection between underground banks and violent societies, as long as the collectors do not want their families or themselves to be retaliated by violent societies, there is a high chance that they will admit their crimes and the operators of the underground banks will not be imprisoned...
On the side, Mouri Kogoro finished reading the newspaper and found that Conan was also looking at it. He picked up Conan and threw him on the sofa opposite, "You kid, don't be so curious as soon as you hear about the incident!"
"ah!"
Please collect the book!
Conan fell on the soft sofa. Although he was not injured, he was still dizzy.
"Dad, what are you doing?!" Mao Lilan quickly put down the photo album, stood up and stepped forward to check on Conan, "Conan, are you okay?"
Conan sat up on his own, "I'm fine..."
Mao Lilan looked at Conan's face carefully. It was confirmed that Conan had no trauma and his face was normal. Then he felt relieved. Thinking that Conan did not cry or make trouble, he felt more and more that Maori Kogoro was too much. She complained to Maori Kogoro, "Dad, you Don’t bully Conan all the time!”
"It's normal for children to bump into each other. This kid must have fallen when he was skateboarding. What's more, I just threw him on the sofa. The sofa is so soft. How could he be injured?" Mouri Kogoro said with a look on his face. He defended himself nonchalantly, seeing that Mao Lilan was still a god. Staring at himself angrily, he sweated and quickly changed the subject, "It's already past six o'clock in the evening. No wonder I'm already hungry. Xiaolan, please call and place an order at the Iroha sushi restaurant downstairs! Fei Chi, Nanatsuki, you two should stay here for dinner tonight..."
