In 1967, a foreigner brought two large rats out of the country at the airport in Guangzhou, a strange behavior that led to his detention and investigation.
However, these two rats were involved in a shocking case, and even let *** personally go into battle to command. What kind of big case can make *** personally in charge? What's the secret behind this?
After the successful test explosion of the atomic bomb, a covert intelligence war quietly emerged, and forces with ulterior motives in the international community tried to obtain the relevant data and components of China's atomic bomb through various means.
The story behind this was not gradually revealed until the appearance of a foreigner and two rats at the Guangzhou airport in 1967. ** Personally in command, this shocking case was successfully resolved.
Three years later, when life returned to normal, an amazing thing happened at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport. A British passenger's suitcase sparked an exclamation, and security officer Lin Hua quickly rushed to the scene to understand the situation.
After opening the suitcase, everyone was surprised to find that in addition to a few pieces of clothing, there was also a cage surrounded by wire, which contained two mice. In this day and age, pet ownership has become more and more common.
Some people like to keep pet rats, but there are not many of them. However, instead of pet rats, the traveler's cage contained two large gray mice, which startled those present.
There is also a problem, even if the two big gray rats are the pets of passengers, he should go through the formalities for the pets according to the regulations and pass the inspection and quarantine before they can be brought into the plane.
However, the situation of the passengers is clearly not in accordance with the regulations and common sense. Lin Hua immediately reported the situation to the leader on duty, but the leader did not pay attention to it and asked for release.
However, Lin Hua insisted that the matter was suspicious and detained the British traveler, while notifying the staff of the Public Security Bureau and the Foreign Affairs Bureau to investigate the matter.
Lin Hua's resolute persistence inadvertently opened the prelude to the earth-shattering case and protected the huge interests of the country. When Zhang Wenqi, an investigator of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, heard about the incident and felt that it was unusual, he immediately notified the security office of Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, strengthened the surveillance of the British passenger, and kept two rats.
He then rushed to Guangzhou to investigate and found that both rats contained radioactive materials. In the course of the investigation, they also found out the identity of the passenger, whose name was George Watt, an external technical expert at Lanzhou Chemical Company.
Zhang Wenqi is keenly aware of the connection between radioactive materials, Lanzhou and foreign experts. As a veteran of spy warfare, he immediately remembered that three years ago, the site of the atomic bomb test was chosen in the depths of the northwest desert, and Lanzhou was the place where the atomic bomb was developed.
After linking these key information, he was deeply afraid, and it turned out that the enemy had already stretched out his hand to our country's No. 1 top-secret project. Before he could cross-examine Watt, he already had enough reason to suspect that Watt was a spy.
Considering the seriousness of the matter, he immediately reported to **, afraid that there would be extraneous complications if the time dragged on.
After receiving the news, ** decided to send Vice Minister of Public Security Yang Qiqing to Guangzhou to preside over the situation, and formed a special team headed by Zhang Wenqi to conduct an in-depth investigation against this "British expert" Watt.
Because of the sensitive diplomatic issues involved, they can only do so in secret. Will the establishment of the task force reveal the unspeakable secrets of this "British expert"?
Let's wait together to see if they can find this breakthrough. And in 1964, a passenger at Guangzhou Airport was detained for trying to take two rats out of the country, what kind of secret was hidden behind it?
After the project team was formed, they acted quickly. First of all, Zhang Wenqi personally questioned Watt face-to-face.
At the beginning, in order to avoid arousing Watt's vigilance, he only learned about the basic situation of Watt's coming to China.
According to Watt's statement, he was actually a nylon expert who came to China because a chemical company in Lanzhou had purchased a set of equipment from their company.
He came with the installation team this time, but his work could not be carried out because he ran out of materials.
This time I came to Guangzhou to go out of here to Hong Kong to buy some materials, and then return to Lanzhou to complete the work. However, as soon as he was about to board the plane, he was detained by Lin Hua. Zhang Wenqi immediately performed a play in order to get more information.
Zhang Wenqi explained to Watt: "Misunderstanding, Xiaolin is a new security guard, and he is not very familiar with the rules and regulations. He detained you without fully understanding the situation, and I will criticize him and apologize to you. ”
Hearing these words, a satisfied smile appeared on Watt's face. He believes that his plan has been a success. Then, he asked Zhang Wenqi: "Then when will you let me out?" I need to get the materials to the factory. ”
Zhang Wenqi replied: "Soon, after registering your information, we will immediately restore your freedom." After that, Zhang Wenqi left the interrogation room with the interpreter.
It is clear that Watt was indeed a spy, but no conclusive evidence has yet been found. Moreover, the accompanying interpreter also said that the British expert spoke fluent American English.
This was obviously a conspiracy orchestrated by the Americans, but because there was no direct evidence, they could only temporarily release Watt, secretly send people to spy on him, and prohibit him from leaving the country. Sure enough, Watt began to notice that he couldn't leave.
He used diplomatic channels to get his family to come to China to reunite with him. When Zhang Wenqi learned of this, he immediately realized that Watt's plan was being implemented. So, he immediately launched an operation to spy on the Watts.
After Watt received his family, they came to China in the name of tourist shopping, just like other foreign tourists. Their main activities every day are to taste food, enjoy entertainment, and have a very leisurely life.
Despite this, the public security comrades who have always been secretly tracking and monitoring do not dare to take it lightly, and always keep a close eye on the whereabouts of the Watt family.
After a few days of observation, the comrades who were watching discovered a problem, the family appeared to be living happily ever after, but some of the behaviors made them look less like a couple.
As soon as Mrs. Watt was preparing to return home with her children, Zhang Wenqi immediately made arrangements to make sure she was stopped before boarding the plane. However, on the way to the airport, there was a small episode when their car tire burst on the road.
Fortunately, they showed their documents and borrowed someone else's car, and the group rushed to the airport.
They found Mrs. Watt waiting for her flight in the departure hall, and they dug out a large number of maps and related materials related to the Lanzhou nuclear and military industrial enterprises from her bag under the pretext of checking the safety of her luggage.
In the face of such conclusive evidence, Mrs. Watt knew that the matter had been revealed, and she did not resist, and obediently followed Zhang Wenqi and their companions into the car and was taken to the public security bureau.
On the other side, however, Watt is unaware of this and continues to live his carefree life. After Zhang Wenqi obtained this evidence, he immediately submitted the information to Yang Qiqing.
Yang Qiqing found relevant experts to analyze these secrets, and confirmed that foreign spies had interfered in China's top-secret projects.
They tried to deduce the development of China's nuclear industry by analyzing the two rats with radioactive materials and the data in the hands of "Mrs. Watt", and then formulate countermeasures.
Yang Qiqing quickly reported the progress of the case to his superiors and asked for instructions on the next steps. In the face of such arrogant behavior of spies, what kind of decision will ** make?
In 1964, ** personally commanded the "catch rats"! A big case caused by a rat finally needs the prime minister to personally command! After receiving Yang Qiqing's news, China's leaders realized the importance of this matter, and if it is not handled properly, it may not only lead to the leakage of secrets, but also may damage China's image in the international community.
After discussion, it was decided that *** would personally take charge of the leak and properly handle the leak. The prime minister immediately called Zhang Wenqi to give instructions on the next move. Zhang Wenqi asked if Watt should be arrested immediately, and the prime minister laughed and told him that he could not rush it, and there must be someone behind Watt.
Under the guidance of ***, Zhang Wenqi is well versed in the principle of "casting a long line to catch a big fish", and he understands that he cannot act recklessly to catch spies, but must be calm and win in stability.
He decided to investigate Watt's interpersonal relationships and confine him to Beijing so that he could not escape. He also ordered that any item from home or abroad should be subject to strict inspection to prevent Watt from obtaining information from it.
After being closely monitored, Watt was powerless to fight back, but he still tried to communicate with the outside world through letters. In a letter addressed to Watt, the scouts uncovered a coded command, which provided important clues to the next move.
During an in-depth investigation, Zhang Wenqi discovered an astonishing secret. A group of spies is trying to throw China into chaos by making Watt commit suicide, triggering international **.
They use this method in order to take advantage of the opportunity to escape. Zhang Wenqi was shocked by this, and at the same time indignant at the callousness of these spies. He decides to find out the spies and stop their plans.
Through his investigation, he eventually zeroed in on a "foreign expert" named Peter Decatar. When this man was in Lanzhou, he often rode his bicycle around to take pictures, ostensibly looking like he was photographing buildings and landscapes, but in fact he was taking advantage of people's inattention to photograph military installations.
His actions aroused Zhang Wenqi's suspicions, and after an in-depth investigation, he finally confirmed his suspicion that this was really a cunning and dangerous spy.
In this shocking case involving China's top-secret information, von Hüdlin, the leader of the expert group, was found to be seriously suspicious because he had repeatedly transmitted information.
When he was about to fly to Beijing to seek asylum at the embassy, his itinerary was cleverly arranged by Zhang Wenqi, making it impossible for him to have contact with the embassy.
At the airport, Zhang Wenqi's personnel successfully arrested him, and found relevant information about military bases, nuclear plants, military garrisons, and clothes containing radioactive materials in his luggage.
Faced with ironclad evidence, Xu Delin had nothing to say. At the same time, Decater and Watt also followed, and the case that shocked the whole country was finally solved.
In the aftermath of this incident, the prime minister in the international arena sternly exposed the shameless behavior of the United States. In order to achieve their goals, they did not hesitate to resort to such despicable means, so the international community unanimously condemned the actions of the United States.
It is precisely because of obscure heroes like Lin Hua and Zhang Wenqi who guard the country's secrets behind their backs that our country can be safe and the people's lives can be at ease. Therefore, they deserve our respect.
