The court sentenced Zou to six months in prison and fined him for illegally selling special equipment for eavesdropping and photographing. Gold 2,000 yuan.
The daughter of Mr. Wang, a citizen of Zhenjiang, is a junior high school student. She is very playful and needs supervision before she can study seriously. Mr. Wang wanted to install a camera next to her study table.

Therefore, Mr. Wang contacted his WeChat friend Zou who sells monitoring equipment.
Zou introduced to Mr. Wang watches, lighters and other candid photography equipment disguised as ordinary daily necessities.
Mr. Wang purchased two candid camera devices disguised as lighters and routers, and paid 2,000 yuan to Zou via WeChat.
After receiving the payment from Mr. Wang, he purchased a modified lighter and a modified router elsewhere and delivered them to Mr. Wang by express delivery.
