In 1950, the most bizarre gold disappearance case since the founding of the party was solved, and

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-29

In 1949, shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, ** stood outside ***'s office, pondering something. "Knock knock. He knocked on the office door. "Come in!* took a deep breath and pushed the door in, but he was stunned as soon as he entered. The room was smoky, and it was almost impossible to see the human figure, and *** sat on the sofa with a solemn expression, as if thinking about something.

You're here, Ruiqing, sit down!"Yes, Chairman. * said quickly, and quickly sat down on the side of the sofa. "In 1931, there was a special ......After hearing this, I was a little surprised. It turned out that in 1931, ** had received a sum of funds allocated by the Soviet District - a huge amount of **, and in terms of the situation of the party organization at that time, that fund was "life-saving money". But such an important sum of money disappeared out of thin air, and it took 18 years to disappear. ** The voice was hoarse and said, "This." This thing has been weird for 18 years, and my heart has been blocked for 18 years......"Today, I am looking for Ruiqing, the first minister of public security in New China, I want you to help me solve this case, do you have this confidence?Hearing *** speak, ** quickly stood up and saluted a standard military salute:

Yes!I promise to complete the task!”…1) After leaving the office of *** for 18 years, ** fell into deep thought. This case has been deposited for so long, it is definitely not so simple, but *** is also ready to fight a protracted war. And he believes that there can be no perfect crime in the world, and that under the torrent of time, any mystery will eventually show its original form. Of course, the first step in solving the case is to restore the whole thing back then. At that time, there were two temporary ** in the history of China. The first provisional ** was born in 1927, that is, against the backdrop of Chiang Kai-shek's public betrayal of the revolution on April 12. The "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup d'état that shocked China and the rest of the world at that time caused a bloody storm in China.

And the first temporary ** also came into being. On the night of July 12, according to the urgent instructions of the Comintern, the CCP secretly carried out a reorganization in Hankou, and the provisional committee composed of Li Lisan and others acted as the Politburo. In other words, the establishment of the first temporary ** was to deal with the important crisis of the party. In mid-September 1931, the second provisional ** in the history of the party was born in Shanghai. And the "** disappearance case" occurred not long after the provisional ** was established. The White Terror of 1927 had not yet dissipated, so the revolutionary activities in Shanghai were still carried out in secrecy. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek attached great importance to the Shanghai area and always regarded Shanghai as his heart, so he pursued "** rule" in Shanghai, and did his best to crack down on other party forces. In order to carry out their work better, the underground workers of our party have disguised themselves in various identities to evade the investigation of the Kuomintang agents. But this will inevitably require money, and the operation of the party organization in Shanghai is also a considerable expense. Therefore, if the party organizations in Shanghai want to survive, they need a lot of funds to maintain their daily expenses.

And in that kind of struggle environment, it is impossible to raise funds openly, so in the end there are only two ways. The first is that the Comintern approves the funds, but the Comintern's funds cannot reach Shanghai through banks and post offices, and can only be transferred into China from abroad by couriers, and then sent to Shanghai. The second method is to allocate funds directly from the ** Soviet District. However, the economic situation in the Soviet area at that time was also not optimistic, but the Soviet district ** still fully supported the temporary**. And at that time, the ** in the "** disappearance case" was exactly the funds that the Soviet District decided to allocate to the temporary ** - a total of 120 taels. As for why ** was used as working capital, it was because under the white terror situation at that time, it was most convenient to transport money over long distances. And the Soviet district ** is the most common. When fighting against the landlords and gentry, the most seized is gold and silver jewelry, after melting those ** jewelry at high temperature, it is directly beaten into easy-to-carry strip gold bars, and then some white copper lockets are used as containers, and the box mouth is sealed with tin, which can be easily carried. At that time, it was the People's Commissar of Finance of the Soviet Union, Lin Boqu, who is today the Minister of Finance.

As a minister, especially the Minister of Finance, it is natural to be thoughtful. Referring to the previous transportation experience, on the way from Jiangxi to Shanghai, Lin Boqu set up a number of underground traffic officers to pass the ** to Shanghai in the way of "beacon fire". At the same time, every two connectors have a special handover certificate, and coming up with this handover certificate also made Lin Boqu rack his brains. This voucher is a seven-stroke Chinese character, the size of a silver dollar, and it was written by Lin Boqu himself. After the writing was finished, he secretly found a seal engraving shop, carved the character on hardwood, and then steamed it repeatedly in boiling water. After that, he took all the seven strokes of the Chinese characters on the hardwood apart, and then sent them to the seven traffic officers along the way. And this special credential is ready. In addition, in order for the traffic officers to recognize each other, there is not only a special code, but also a special key and lock. In other words, there is only the corresponding traffic officer in the world who can hand over to the traffic officer at that time and place.

When the gold bar begins to be delivered, each traffic officer and the next traffic officer hand over, by code to recognize each other, and check the downline key, whether the upline lock can be opened, after the delivery is completed, the downline hands over the strokes, and the upline passes the lock to the downline. And when the gold bar is passed, the Chinese characters of the seven strokes will return to the Soviet area in its entirety, and if the seven strokes are taken back to the Soviet area, then it will also prove that ** has arrived smoothly. Of course, in order to ensure that the connector is interested in seeing the wealth, the box is also locked with several locks, and the key to the box is also in the hands of the next connector, which can only be opened by the next traffic officer. (2) Rush to verify that although everything was perfect, this escort failed. Because, the seventh stroke of this man did not return to the Soviet area, that is to say, the seventh traffic liaison officer had an accident, and it was verified afterwards that this batch of ** did not arrive in Shanghai. This money was of great importance to the party organization at that time and could not be lost, and ** at that time, several investigation teams were sent to investigate, but basically nothing was found.

At that time, Shanghai was under the jurisdiction of the Kuomintang, and the White Terror was still hovering in the sky, so our party personnel would definitely face many dangers when they went to Shanghai to investigate, and over time, the matter was shelved. ......Flipping through the archives of the past, it clearly shows the information gathered by the investigation team in the past. According to the route at that time, the location of the last stroke should be Songjiang, not far from Shanghai. At that time, the investigation team determined that the gold bar had an accident there. But after several explorations, they did not find any useful clues. After the verification of Lin Boqu, it was confirmed that the first six strokes that arrived in the Soviet area were indeed the originals. Therefore, the key to the "** disappearance case" must be in Songjiang. At that time, the Political Security Bureau of the Soviet District also investigated the matter, and they also invited intelligence officers from the ** Special Branch in the downtown area of Shanghai to assist in the investigation, but when they tried to find the secret traffic officer at the last stop, they found that the person had disappeared. All the clues have been interrupted, and the "* disappearance case" has become a complete unsolved case. ** Covered with a historical archive, lost in thought.

Things really weren't as easy as he imagined, this case, first, the information was missing, and second, the time was too long for the witnesses to be found. But no matter how difficult the task is, he must complete it. After a short period of combing, the key to knowing the "disappearance case" is to find the last liaison. But after so long, what about going to ** find this person again?In order to rule out other factors, it was decided to start with the first liaison. On December 6, 1949, the special investigation team boarded the train heading north and met Lin Boqu in Beijing. After some brief inquiry, Lin Boqu said that the first liaison seemed to be surnamed Qin, who was sent by the Ruijin Revolutionary Zone at that time and had served as a guard for Comrade Gao Zili. Gao Zili is an older generation of revolutionaries, who was a comrade-in-arms with Su Yu during the Jinggangshan period, and served as the secretary of the Financial and Economic Committee in the Northeast at this time.

After the investigation team got the news, they hurriedly rushed to the northeast, met Gao Zili, and got the information of the correspondent from him. This person's name is Qin Pu, a native of Pingxiang, Jiangxi, and he is now the deputy division commander of the 13th Corps. Everyone hurriedly rushed to Guangxi, where the 13th Corps was located. After several twists and turns, the investigation team finally met the first key person in the "** disappearance case" - Qin Pu. From his mouth, the investigation team learned the tip of the iceberg of history. According to Qin Pu's recollection, as an underground traffic officer, he only knew that he wanted to send one thing, but he didn't know that what he wanted to send was **. At that time, his external identity was the running hall of a restaurant in Ruijin City, and at that time, in order to escort him secretly, the organization specially created a fake work injury for him, and falsely claimed that he was going to Nanping to find a well-known Langzhong**. After a six-day trip, according to the route arranged in advance by the organization, Qin Pu finally arrived at Nanping, a joint city, with his things at about two o'clock in the afternoon. According to Qin Pu, his downline, that is, the next connector, is the temple Zhu of Guandi Temple (the person who manages the temple).

Qin Pu whispered to the other party, and after matching the locks, he handed over the things to the other party, and then accepted the other party's stroke voucher, and hurriedly returned to Ruijin. ......After listening to this, the investigation team asked him about the appearance of the connector and left. Just as everyone was about to find the next liaison, another investigation team brought great news to everyone. It turned out that at that time, ** kept a top-secret file, except for the information of the last liaison, the information of the other six liaisons was recorded in detail. The investigation team was in high spirits, and after so many days, there was finally a breakthrough in this case. So everyone worked hard to find Fuzhou from Nanping, then to Jinhua, and finally arrived in Hangzhou. Hangzhou is the penultimate station, Hangzhou to Songjiang, Songjiang to Shanghai, is the last two links of the escort. According to the file, the investigation team quickly found the sixth traffic officer, Liu Zhichun, who is also the second key person in the case. When the investigation team managed to find him, they were thrilled that he was the only one who had ever seen the last liaison.

Liu Zhichun told the investigation team that when he arrived in Songjiang according to the organization's plan, he stayed in an inn. According to his description, the connector was thirty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in a black cotton robe, wearing an inky velvet hat, and a rickety body. After Liu Zhichun led him to the room, he said the right code and showed the lock, and then the man took out the Chinese character strokes and handed them to Liu Zhichun, took the things, and left without saying a word. ......3) After listening to his explanation of the complicated case, the investigation team began to focus on the third key person, the man in the black cotton suit. And it was he who was responsible for the last link of the ** escort, from Songjiang to Shanghai. It seems that all the mysteries are hidden in that inn in Matsue.

After the investigation team sorted out all the clues, they immediately rushed to Songjiang and found the inn where Liu Zhichun was connected - Hanyuan Inn. Since the man in the black cotton suit once appeared in the Hanyuan Inn, if you can find the inn ledger of the year, maybe there is information about him on it. Thinking of this, everyone hurriedly found the boss Lin Hanyuan and asked about the situation back then, but the sixty-year-old boss couldn't remember it clearly, but he said that Mr. Chu (chǔ) National Treasure might have clues. Seeing the twists and turns of the matter, and pulling out a bookkeeper, everyone didn't have time to sigh, and hurriedly searched for this Chu Guobao all over the city. Finally, after several searches, I finally have an eyebrow. It turned out that after the inn was closed, this Chu Guobao was involved in a bandit robbery case and is now detained in a prison in Suzhou. The investigation team hurriedly boarded a night boat bound for Suzhou, and finally found Chu Guobao in prison the next morning. But when everyone was full of joy and asked him about the situation back then, the reality still poured cold water on everyone. Although Chu Guobao was in good health, the time was too long, and no matter how he recalled, he couldn't remember the middle-aged man in a black cotton robe.

Just when everyone's hearts were like ashes, Chu Guobao said again: "When the account book of the Hanyuan stackhouse was closed, I took it home, I don't know if it will be useful to you?"With this exit, he pulled everyone directly back to the warm spring from the harsh winter. Although it is unlikely that there is information about the man in the black cotton suit on the ledger, because he came to find a connector, Liu Zhichun, he should not have checked in. But hope is always better than nothing. Everyone hurriedly returned to Songjiang, found the Chu family, and got the account book of the Hanyuan stackhouse that year, and after careful inspection, they did find the records registered by Liu Zhichun that year. But the man in the black cotton suit still had no clues. At this time, there was an investigator named Xu (xū) Deshen in the investigation team, and suddenly said: "Liu Zhichun said that when he saw this man in black cotton clothes, the innkeeper and the bookkeeper didn't seem to know him, so it means that he may not be from Songjiang City." ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up. Yes, they had a misunderstanding before, that is, they always thought that the last liaison, the man in black cotton clothes, was a native of Songjiang, but they ignored the possibility that he was a foreigner. So the investigation team hurried to Hangzhou to find Liu Zhichun again to learn about the details of the joint that year. Under the inspiration of the investigators, Liu Zhichun finally recalled a detail that he had forgotten during the previous investigation. According to him, when the person who was in contact with him at that time took out the stroke voucher from his wallet, he accidentally saw a folded piece of paper in the person's wallet. The paper looked like a receipt for advance payment in the inn's ledger. When the investigation team heard what he said, they immediately exchanged glances - the man had settled in an inn in Songjiang. After returning from Liu Zhichun, everyone began to think again, according to the practice of underground work at that time, the traffic officers made appointments for several days. On the same day, the man in the black cotton suit didn't bring anything when he walked into the "Hanyuan Stackhouse", and it had been ruled out that he was a local - then there is only one possibility, that is, this man stayed in Songjiang a few days ago, and waited until Liu Zhichun arrived in Songjiang before he came to look for him. So the next step is to check the hotels or hostels near the "Hanyuan Stackhouse".

But as soon as this idea was proposed, everyone shook their heads, because the time was too long, and it was undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find it. But at present, there are no obvious clues, and everyone can only investigate. Miracles are always not so easy to happen, after several days of investigation, there are no clues, and later everyone speculated that the man in black cotton clothes may also be living in the house of relatives and friends. So the investigation team contacted the local police station, and mobilized the whole city to immediately start the investigation at the same time, and the strength of unity was still huge, and in just one and a half days, the investigation of the neighborhood committees in each street had been reported to the police station - but still nothing. After all the clues were interrupted, the case completely fell into a bottleneck. But at this critical juncture, a turning point came unexpectedly. ......4) The unexpected turn turned out that Xu Deshen, a member of the task force, had a fellow who happened to be a staff officer in the Songjiang Military Division, and he heard that Xu Deshen was handling cases in Songjiang in the past few days, so he found Xu Deshen and invited him to a light meal.

At the dinner table, Xu Deshen, who was dazed by the case, inadvertently talked about the "** disappearance case", and also talked about the bottleneck of his case. said unintentionally, the listener was intentional, and the casual words of the chef who served the dishes made Xu Deshen shocked. "I do. I know that at that time in Songjiang, there was still a place to live, I don't know if you can inquire about it?"It turned out that at that time, the Songjiang Jinqing Central Security Corps had a guest house, which was specially for soldiers to live in, but there was a premise that officers above the battalion level needed to guarantee it. After listening to it, Xu Deshen immediately felt that this was a major clue, so he hurriedly said goodbye to his fellow villagers and reported to the investigation team. After seeing that there had been new progress in the case, the investigation team was also in high spirits and threw itself into the investigation work despite fatigue.

Finally, after careful investigation by several people, they locked on a person named Liang Bichun. And according to their intuition, this Liang Bichun is likely to be the seventh person in charge. And more importantly, after this Liang Bichun came back from Songjiang, he suddenly disappeared. The investigation team became more and more convinced that the "* disappearance case" was most likely done by this Liang Bichun. Then the "** missing case", you only need to catch this Liang Bichun, and the truth will be revealed. The crowd seemed to see the light ahead. ......As a result, the investigation team immediately mobilized the local civil affairs bureau and the public security bureau to conduct a carpet search. After many hardships, everyone finally found Liang Bichun, who had been renamed "Shen Jigu". But when everyone asked him, Liang Bichun's words made the investigation team's heart sink. Because Liang Bichun admitted that he was indeed the last contact, but he did not steal **. The truth of the matter is that after he got the box at that time, he was robbed by robbers in Caojiadu, and after he was fascinated, when he woke up, the box had been snatched away.

And as soon as he thought that the box was missing, he would definitely be severely punished, so he planned a disappearance. When the investigation team collected evidence, they found that what Liang Bichun said was indeed the truth, and they couldn't help but be frustrated. Everyone has worked hard for so many days in this case, and even the last liaison has been found, but just when they are one step away from the truth, the clue is broken by the waist. ......Just when everyone wanted to report to the team, at this time, an old policeman named Zeng Feng found them in the second detention center. said that there was a prisoner named Feng Anbao in prison, and he wanted to report his cousin Ji Jiagui, and the content of the report was very related to the ** robbery. It turned out that this Ji Jiagui was pulling rickshaws back then, and he was busy every day, but one day Feng Anbao found that this cousin suddenly stopped pulling rickshaws, but opened a goods store, and the whole person was much more arrogant. In the past few days, Feng Anbao heard the story of the ** case, and suddenly thought that Ji Jiagui might have a major connection with this case. After listening to his account, the investigation team looked at each other.

The time and place are right, this Ji Jiagui may really be the real murderer who robbed **. The investigators immediately mobilized several policemen, immediately dispatched, detained Ji Jiagui overnight, and searched his residence at the same time. Under the ironclad evidence, Ji Jiagui also confessed to his crimes. It turned out that he and a few fox friends had long been preparing to rob passers-by there and raise money to open a store. But unexpectedly, by coincidence, he met Liang Bichun. As soon as Ji Jiagui opened the box, he found that it was a bright **, and several people immediately summed it up, divided it, and left separately. After that, the investigation team immediately arrested another criminal after identification, and obtained several pieces of ** jewelry that were stolen. So far, this most bizarre "** missing case" since the founding of the party has been solved.

**After listening to the twists and turns of the cracked case, I sighed, this strange case that had been strange for 19 years was finally solved, and the knot of **19 years was completely untied. ......On November 18, 1950, Ji Jiagui and Liu Agu were sentenced to death for robbery and immediately executed. Liang Bichun was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the crime of "historical counter-revolution", and Feng Anbao, who had made meritorious contributions to the report, received special approval half a year later and was allowed to be released from prison ahead of schedule. ......
