The key is one week's time!
As everyone knows, in cases of internet fraud with fake identities, fake information, and fake addresses, if you report it to the police immediately upon discovering you've been deceived, the chances of finding the person aren't small.
But after a week, it enters a difficult period for investigation. The longer the time passes, the lower the chances of tracking them down, and you have no idea where they could be.
Especially after they look into these ID details, the elders either aren't aware, or can't describe the person clearly.
Especially with cases from other regions, applying for inter-regional assistance can take an unknown amount of time.
You must know that the case-solving rate for internet fraud is just barely over 3%. Besides the many overseas cases, there are also plenty within the country, where many people realize they've been scammed long after it happened.
