In 1951, Ji Kaifu was framed for stealing 15 million yuan, and Chairman Mao personally instructed hi

At half past six in the afternoon of April 12, 1951, the bell of the Fourth Branch of the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau rang.

After Wang Ying, the officer on duty in the public security unit, picked up the **, there was an eager male voice on the other end of the earpiece:"I'm Ji Kaifu from the Second Hospital of the city, we have a grand theft here, you guys come quickly. “

After Wang Ying heard the news, he immediately instructed Ji Kaifu in ** not to destroy the scene, and the public security officers arrived later.

After Wang Ying rushed to the scene with people, he was greeted by Ji Kaifu, who reported the case, Ji Kaifu was not very old, only in his 20s, although the case occurred, he was calm and did not panic at all, and then Ji Kaifu took the public security police to the scene of the crime, Wang Ying looked from the outside to the inside, and saw some banknotes scattered at the door of the office of the General Affairs Section at the staircase, and the accountant's safe was also open.

Upon inquiry, it was learned that the total amount of stolen banknotes was 12 million (old currency, about 1,200 Singapore dollars).

That's a lot of money at the time.

However, what is even more strange is that after the investigators later collected the scattered banknotes by handwriting, they found that there were a lot of pennies, although the scene was a trace of theft, but why did the thieves scatter the banknotes everywhere and did not take a penny.

A peculiar theft case kicked off, and even later alarmed ***, and the situation of the case and the handling of the parties were not completely explained until 37 years later.

Wuhan Municipal Second Hospital, located in Hankou Zhongshan Avenue, its predecessor was the French patrol house, before the liberation of the Kuomintang authorities had set up a police station here, until the founding of the People's Republic of China before the transformation of the hospital, after the nineties was demolished, rebuilt Jinyuan Building.

Although the public security officer Wang Ying instructed not to destroy the scene, when he went to the scene to call for support, the money on the ground had been picked up, and all the traces at the scene had been destroyed.

But the most strange thing is that although the banknotes were taken out of the safe, the money was not less, even if it was scattered everywhere, the public security officers had to ask the staff in the hospital one by one, hoping to find some clues, but because the money was not lost, everyone did not seem to care in terms of mentality, according to the people who had been at the scene at the time"It's just a mess. ”

Yang Guangdi, president of Wuhan Municipal Second Hospital, is a person outside the party, and Chen Chushu, vice president, is a cadre and a member of the Communist Party who went south, and his lover is Li Zhilian, then secretary general of the Organization Department and Discipline Inspection Commission of the Central South Bureau, and Sun Mailing, member of the organization committee of the party branch and chief of the medical department of the hospital.

In addition, Wang Qing, the Supervisory Committee of the Second Municipal Hospital, and his subordinate staff Ji Kaifu and Yang Shimin were also at the scene, and it was Wang Qing who ordered Ji Kaifu and Yang Shiming to pick up the money on the ground, which led to a series of circumstances such as the destruction of the scene.

However, Ji Kaifu would never have thought that this case would later be linked to himself.

Originally, according to the regulations, the cash collected by the hospital on the day must be deposited in the bank, but there was no on the day of the incident, accountant Yu Shanyan recalledHis lover is the hospital**, who was on night duty in the hospital that day, and he didn't plan to go home in a hurry, but after the cashier Wang Shouzheng packed the money, he hurriedly put the money in the safe because he was in a hurry to leave.

At around 6:15 a.m., Yu Shanyan was playing ball in the yard for a while when he heard Ji Kaifu shouting upstairs"Accountant Yu, your financial room has been stolen, don't come up and take a look. “

Yu Shanyan didn't believe it at first, he had only been away for more than ten minutes, how could there be a theft, but when he went upstairs and looked at it, his heart was half cold, but fortunately, the fact was that the money didn't seem to have been lost.

The public security officers carefully questioned all the people present, although some people noticed that there was a tall figure in the office at the right staircase at the time of the crime, but because the distance was too far, they could not see the person clearly, and they could only say that it was suspected that it was related to the theft, but there was no substantive evidence.

However, it was only ten minutes from Yu Shanyan and Wang Shouzheng to the time before and after the incident, so the public security officers locked up the people in the hospital.

There are tentative suspicions of four subjects.

**After investigation, two suspects were ruled out, although they both had the conditions to commit the crime, but they did not have the motive, and the remaining suspects, one was Wang Qing, the supervisory commissioner, and the other was Ji Kaifu.

More than 90 per cent of the people who report the crime are often the perpetrators, and it seems that such suspicions are also legitimate.

Suspicion of Wang Qing ** was analyzed on the spot.

First, he was in the office at the time of the crime, because someone saw him coming home when he got off work, and he suddenly appeared in the office, what was the reason; Clause.

2. Ji Kaifu said that after he found out that the financial office was stolen, he reported to Wang Qing and found that Wang Qing had sweat on his head, but at this time, it is completely unlikely that there will be sweat, and Wang Ying, the public security unit of the Public Security Bureau, also confirmed this. Clause.

3. The burden that packed the money was later found to have been thrown on the electric pole outside Wang Qing's office, although some people responded that the burden belonged to Wang Qing's family, but whether it was still needed to be confirmed; Clause.

Fourth, there was a belt ring left at the scene, and Wang Qing's belt happened to be missing a circle, and the two were similar in color; Fifth, the tall voice in the office at the right staircase, according to the analysis of those present, it is more likely to be Wang Qing.

As for Ji Kaifu, he also has a lot of doubts.

Clause. 1. The scene was discovered by him, and he was particularly active in the detection of the case, which is not very similar to his usual personality; Clause.

2. Wang Ying of the Public Security Unit repeatedly told Ji Kaifu to protect the scene, but he was the first to destroy the scene; Clause.

Third, the burden of the money is that Ji Kaifu said that it was found on the telephone pole outside the balcony of Wang Qing's office, and normal people would only say that they went to the balcony, how could they think of it on the telephone pole outside.

That is, when the public security officers questioned at the scene, Wang Shouzheng was also called back and confirmed that the key on the safe was not lost.

Almost all the possible suspects at the scene were ruled out, but only Wang Qing and Ji Kaifu could not clear the suspicions.

The most important thing is that Ji Kaifu knows that Wang Qing has the key to the safe.

Ji Kaifu not only arranged for someone to secretly spy on Wang Qing, but also found an imitation safe key (this key could not open the safe) under the balcony outside the office of the Supervision Committee.

But Ji Kaifu's series of behaviors not only failed to confirm that Wang Qing was suspected of committing a major crime, but instead put himself into it. Although some people sided with Ji Kaifu and thought that he would not be involved in the theft, on April 14, the third day after the crime, the Fourth Public Security Bureau detained Ji Kaifu in accordance with the law to prevent him from further exoneration of the crime.

The reasons for the detention of Ji Kaifu were Song Ying, deputy director of the Municipal Health Bureau, and Wang Qing, the supervisory committee of the Second Municipal Hospital.

Keeff has historical problems.

Ji Kaifu's elder brother Ji Han was a Kuomintang spy.

What's more critical is that after Ji Kaifu was detained, he faced the interrogation of public security officers, and his attitude was extremely bad and arrogant.

However, a few days after Ji Kaifu was detained, he was released on bail by the unit on the grounds that the evidence was insufficient.

In the early 50s, during the period of the Three-Anti-Five Anti-Anti Movement, public security personnel had to deal with a large number of backlogged and important cases, and the investigation and trial process of Ji Kaifu's case was relatively slow.

After the hospital and the public security organs later reported to the municipal party committee and the Central and Southern Bureau, people with two different views quarreled at the meeting.

And in the process of investigating the case, more and more clues unrelated to the case have also been turned over:

The first is the historical issue of Ji Kaifu, whose elder brother Ji Han was a Kuomintang spy.

The second clue is that the reason why Song Ying bit to death was Ji Kaifu because on September 1, 1950, someone wrote a letter under the pseudonym Chen Jie to report that Song Ying, who was the president of a hospital in the city, was incompetent, although the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection said that the content of the report letter was untrue after investigation, but when the General Party Branch of the Municipal Party Committee and the Health Bureau was investigating the anonymous letter, Wang Shouzheng, Ji Kaifu, Ma Jun and others were all found to talk, and after two months, the three of them reported to the Central and Southern Commission for Discipline Inspection the problems of the Wuhan Municipal Health Bureau, which led to Song Ying being aggravated.

Some people suspect that the reason why Song Ying insisted that it was Ji Kaifu was to retaliate.

The third clue is that during his tenure, Vice President Chen Chushu was reported to abuse the nanny in July 1950, and the case was handled by Wang Qing, then director of the Wuhan Municipal Supervision Bureau, and Song Ying, deputy secretary of the party group and deputy director of the Health Bureau. Wang Shouzheng, Ji Kaifu, Ma Jun and 122 other staff members of the hospital jointly wrote a letter to the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee, pleading on behalf of Chen Chushu and being punished.

Chen Chushu's husband, Li Zhilian, secretary general of the Organization Department and Discipline Inspection Commission of the Central South Bureau, forcibly intervened in Ji Kaifu's case, which is believed to be revenge on the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee.

Because there is no actual evidence, in fact, at that time, Wang Qing and Ji Kaifu were both major suspects. Whether it is the so-called historical legacy of Ji Kaifu or the retaliation of Song Ying and Li Zhilian, there is no direct connection to the actual hospital theft, and there is no evidence that there is a connection between them.

According to normal logic,The occurrence of a theft case should have been handled by the public security organs, and then reported to the municipal party committee, even if there are different opinions, the municipal party committee should be able to handle it, and there is no need to alarm the Central South Bureau, even if it is necessary to ask the Central South Bureau for instructions, it is not to ask the discipline inspection organs of the Central South Bureau, because the nature of the theft case does not fall within the jurisdiction of the discipline supervision department.

A series of unwanted personnel interfered in the investigation of the case, which made the investigation of the case very complicated.

After Song Ying reported the situation to the municipal party committee, Zhou Jifang, then deputy secretary of the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee and in charge of political and legal work, re-detained Ji Kaifu without investigation, and Wuhan Mayor Wu Defeng also supported the decision, his reasons were:"The more evidence Wang Qing has stolen money, the more counter-evidence there is. ”

Zhou Jifang and Wu Defeng both believe that Ji Kaifu is the mastermind of the "conspiracy and frame-up".

Under the circumstance that the evidence in all aspects was not very sufficient, the municipal party committee held a meeting and affirmed the proposition of the municipal government.

Zhang Pinghua, secretary of the municipal party committee, also emphasized one sentence at the meeting: "The possibility of theft is very small, and the possibility of political framing is high." ”

Unfortunately, on October 22, Ji Kaifu received a letter from Hong Kong.

"Comrade Cave:

I haven't heard any news for a long time, how has the work been carried out recently? It is hoped that in accordance with the instructions of the party, it will be carried out rapidly, and a report will be made at any time to serve as the basis and reference of the party.

The cadres of the other side, rigid and self-serving, and relying on small merits, domineering, the last time the comrades contacted several people, slightly punished, when or a little sharp, the comrades do, the party side depends, hope to deal with everything well, is the most hopeful.

This ode. Gongqi!

Comrade Yilu.

October 22".

Some people believe that the focus of the case should be on the counterfeit safe key found under the balcony of Wang Qing's office.

Who made this key?

Who was the one who had the keys at the time?

Through meticulous investigation, the truth of the facts was gradually clarified.

It turned out that just a month before the theft, the second hospital of the city arrested two sleeper agents, and the two agents handed over a bunch of keys at that time, including the key to the safe, although this set of keys was later handled by more people, although according to the testimony given by the key craftsman, the hospital cashier Wang Shou was the person who matched the key, but at a critical time, the person who held the key was Wang Qing.

From this point of view, Wang Qing is seriously suspected of committing a crime.

Even if there is all kinds of evidence to show that Wang Qing is suspected of committing a crime, due to the deviation in the determination of the cause of the case, it has also led to completely different conclusions.

Because of Song Ying's influence in it, the direction of the trial of the case has always focused on Ji Kaifu and Wang Shouzheng.

In view of the increasingly complicated cases, the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Central South Bureau, after consulting with its superiors, took the lead in setting up a joint inspection team, which was composed of 11 units, including the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Central South Bureau, the People's Supervision Commission of the Central and Southern Military and Political Commission, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Health, the Central South Branch of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Central South Branch of the Supreme People's Court, and the Wuhan Municipal Commission for Discipline InspectionThe leader of the group is Fan Dezhi, director of the Discipline Inspection Division of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Central South Bureau, and the deputy leader is Luo Qilin, director of the Central South People's Supervision Commission.

On November 21, the joint inspection team was stationed in the Second Municipal Hospital, and after three weeks of careful and serious investigation, it was finally determined that the person who stole the money was Wang Qing, the secretary of the hospital supervision committee and party branch.

After the case, Song Ying, deputy director of the Municipal Health Bureau, instigated cadres to actively run for Wang Qing, helped Wang Qing copy a false accusation letter, and falsely accused Li Zhilian and Wang Shixun of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to ** and the superior leaders of "shielding spies and framing old cadres".

Because this incident happened in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially during the Three Anti and Five Anti Movement, the case was sent directly to *** as a typical example.

First, he asked An Ziwen (then deputy director of the **Organization Department and deputy secretary of the **Discipline Inspection Commission) to call the secretary of the Central South Bureau*** and ask the Central South Bureau to immediately expel Zhou Jifang from the party.

**I haven't heard the report of all the investigations of the case, and I have some doubts about the serious handling of ***'s personal instructions, so I asked An Ziwen to ask for instructions again***But *** was very resolute, and put forward the hope that *** could visit Ji Kaifu in person and express condolences to him.

On New Year's Day in 1952, ** sent another telegram instructing the Central and Southern Bureau:

Central South Bureau:

Zhou Jifang suppressed democracy, retaliated against and violated human rights, and was immediately arrested and brought to justice.

Zhang Pinghua, secretary of the municipal party committee, bears direct leadership responsibility for the mistakes in this case, and in view of the fact that a serious and profound review has been made, he was given a lighter warning and demoted to deputy secretary.

Wu Defeng, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and deputy secretary of the party group of culture and education, ......Therefore, the work sanction is revoked.

Xie Bangzhi, second deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, ......Revocation of work sanctions.

Comrade Zhu Dixin, member of the municipal party committee and director of the municipal public security bureau, has no responsibility ...... for the arrest of Ji KaifuThere has been a deep examination, so it has been criticized. Other relevant personnel will be dealt with after they have been identified.

In addition, the Central South Bureau decided on January 28 to deal with the case of theft from the Second Hospital of Wuhan City

"Comrade Wang Shixun, director of the Procuratorial Division of the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission, Comrade Su Wei, secretary of the Fourth District Party Committee, and Comrade Sun Mailing, chief of the medical department of the hospital and member of the party branch, were commended for always adhering to the correct principles. He dismissed the suspicion of youth league member Ji Kaifu, restored his reputation, encouraged him to work actively, and comforted him for his grievances. ”

Wang Qing stole **, concealed criminal responsibility, fabricated words to falsely accuse and frame others, and was sentenced to 6 years in prison.

Song Ying suppressed democracy, deliberately framed her, took revenge, violated human rights, and was sentenced to 2 years in prison.

Zhou Jifang was sentenced to nine months in prison for suppressing democracy and violating human rights.

Peng Qiguang fabricated false testimony, violated policies, and violated human rights, and was sentenced to one year in prison.

It's just that after many years, when people look back at this case, they find that the investigation and trial of the case inevitably mixed with some characteristics of the times. So much so that in the decades that followed, there were many repetitions.

After the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee, the Hubei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection submitted a review report to the Central Organization Department on the problems existing in the handling of Li Zhilian in the "Ji Kaifu case."

Given the enormous impact of the case, ** is also very important.

On 27 October 1981, at the eighth meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, it was decided that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, together with the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Public Security, would form a trial group for the "Ji Kaifu Incident" to conduct a comprehensive and serious trial of the results of the "Ji Kaifu Incident" in accordance with the principle of seeking truth from facts and correcting mistakes.

Under the attention of *** and other leaders, the case finally had a final result:

The main facts and evidence found by the former Central South Bureau in 1952 in this case are conclusive, the nature of the determination is correct, and the whole case cannot be overturned. The original processing is correct, and it will not be changed. The punishments given to Comrades Wu Defeng, Xie Bangzhi, and Zhu Dixin were too heavy and were revoked. The original punishment given to Zhou Jifang was approved by the Hubei Provincial Party Committee in October 1979 and can no longer be changed. Ji Kaifu has no political history problems, and he and Wang Shouzheng have no problems in the money theft case.

During his tenure as secretary general of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Central and Southern Bureau, Comrade Li Zhilian's participation in the handling of this case was a normal work within the scope of his duties, and the accusations made against him by the former Hubei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection "Ji Kaifu Incident" review group are not in line with the facts.
