Grandma Li took out the 5700 yuan cash she had on her and withdrew another 8500 yuan from her bank card. She handed it all over to Sun. "Wait for me, I'll go ask the miraculous doctor to perform some rituals." When Sun returned, he handed a package to Grandma Li, saying, "This is your money. Don't open it before you get home or it won't be effective." In the evening, when Grandma Li opened the package, she found that it was full of waste newspapers.
After receiving the report, the police officers from the Zhongshuying police station and the plainclothes division locked onto three suspects by reviewing the surveillance footage of the area. Meanwhile, two men who were trailing behind the three suspects in a blue car also caught the attention of the police. After investigation, the police confirmed the identity of one of the men.
Grandma Li thought, could the illnesses in her family be related to this? With her family's health in mind, Grandma Li immediately asked Sun how to avert the disaster. "Take out ten or twenty thousand yuan first, lose some money to avoid disasters, and invite the miraculous doctor to perform a ritual for you. The money will be returned after the ritual."
Five people admitted to committing four frauds.

"At the hospital entrance, if someone says they can help find a miraculous doctor, don't believe them!" Investigating officers told reporters that such cases are not common in Kunming but are representative. At the entrances of major hospitals in Kunming, there are often medical touts loitering around. They approach caregivers and offer to help find doctors. These people usually choose older individuals with a trustworthy appearance to scam between Monday and Friday. Therefore, citizens should not engage in conversation with these touts and must not believe in the existence of miraculous doctors. By our reporter Sun Qin Xia.
"The one ahead is the daughter of the miraculous doctor. Let me go ask if the miraculous doctor is there." Grandma Li followed the two women towards the direction of Huancheng West Road when suddenly Li pointed at a woman ahead and said, "You were so accurate last time, if not for you, my family might not have avoided the disaster..." After exchanging pleasantries with the "daughter of the miraculous doctor," Sun pointed at Grandma Li and said, "Her family is facing a blood calamity."
"All the money used for the ritual will be returned to you, but don't open it now or there will be an even bigger blood calamity." On the evening of January 31st, Grandma Li living in the Zhongshuying neighborhood of Kunming opened the package and discovered that the originally promised refund of over 14700 yuan had all turned into waste newspapers. After investigation, the police officers from the Kunming Municipal Public Security Bureau's Plainclothes Division finally dismantled this five-person fraud gang specializing in swindling elderly people.

"You should come too, let the miraculous doctor calculate things for you. If there's anything wrong at home, he can help resolve it."
