[Reporter Fu Ming/Report from Taipei] High Point Comprehensive Channel's "Zhen Zhen You Ci" explores "cold-blooded yin and yang demons! Treat human lives as trivial for money and love!" Hosted by lawyer Xie Zhenwu, senior media person Lin Yufeng, folklore expert Xie Yuanjin, psychological analyst Qiu Wenren and lawyer Cai Minrui were invited to uncover the dark conspiracy of defrauding and even killing people under the guise of "Yin Yang Master" and "Living Buddha".

Media person Lin Yufeng shared a brutal murder case of a man in his 40s who suffered from schizophrenia. His parents were introduced to an onmyoji who claimed to be able to "travel through past lives and see cause and effect." The onmyoji threatened the old parents: "Your son was possessed by a demon at birth and will kill the whole family! Should you save the whole family or the child?" The extremely devastated father chose to save the whole family. The onmyoji demanded a price of 1 million yuan. Then he took the man to a mountain workhouse and beat him severely, and injected him with an overdose of heroin until he died. Police investigation revealed that the onmyoji privately claimed to be "a Buddha during the day and a demon at night" and had even used the same method to murder his godson and fraudulently returned NT$4.51 million in insurance money to underground banks.

Lawyer Cai Minrui shared another case of "exorcism and murder". A teenager was depressed after choking from drowning, and his anxious parents sought help from the temple. The Master asserted that he was possessed by a water ghost and made an extreme request: "You must drain your saliva to drive away the water ghost!" He actually asked the parents to forcefully hold their children and forcefully dig out their throats. When the child struggled, the master said "it was the water ghost who was resisting" and asked the parents to knock the child unconscious. Eventually, the boy died in the hospital with horrific bruises all over his body. The master was eventually sentenced to 3 years and 6 months in prison for causing injury resulting in death.

The magic stick scam also exists abroad. Lin Yufeng revealed that a friend went to the United States to visit the living Buddha of Tibet, and the donation amount started at US$10,000 (about NT$300,000). The living Buddha claimed that he would "subjugate the soul that he had cultivated for thousands of years" and let his friend swallow it to protect his health. Unexpectedly, the friend choked and was sent to the emergency room. The American doctor was shocked to see a "dragon shape" appearing inside the body through X-rays. Finally, he spent 100,000 US dollars (approximately more than NT$3 million) to operate to retrieve the pearl, only to find that it was actually a cheap plastic toy doll wrapped in wax pills. The friend sent people back to the original location and the building was already empty.
