Li Ergou was a local loafer in Sijiu City who idled away his days and loved to gamble. Having lost heavily a few days prior, he owed a massive debt. With no idea how to pay it back, someone finally pointed him in a new direction.
That direction was kidnapping older boys and selling them to illicit coal mines to make a quick fortune.
Of course, his informant had told him to target orphans or kids from out of town; locals were best avoided because they were too easily tracked down.
