She also extorted bribes from the industry by bidding for bids for the parking lot of the funeral home and the business of the Life Memorial Hall. Hundreds of thousands of yuan; last year, the prosecutor locked her up for interviews and searches twice, and finally took Wang Wenxiu into custody and was allowed to see her.
