**Critically ill,Li Dazhao's case is to be arrested
In March 1950, he ordered the establishment of the Preparatory Department of the Museum of the Chinese Revolution and began to systematically collect cultural relics from the revolutionary war years across the country. By chance, Wang Yeqiu rode his bicycle from Beijing's east city to west city, and he found a precious cultural relic in the grass outside the Desheng Gate.
This particular artifact was eventually housed in the Museum of the Chinese Revolution and became exhibit number 0001 in the museum.
FigLi DazhaoOn April 28, 1927, Comrade Li Dazhao, one of the founders of the Communist Party of China, died heroically under a gallows imported from Europe by the late Qing Dynasty in the north of Beiping.
He was severely tortured in prison, but he remained steadfast and finally died a heroic death at the age of 38. As a pioneer of the Chinese communist movement and a great Marxist, Mr. Li Dazhao made great contributions to the founding and early development of the Communist Party of China.
Although time has passed, the truth about Comrade Li Dazhao's murder has never been revealed. Until February 1949, when the Beiping City Public Security Bureau took over the Gongdelin Prison of the Kuomintang Police Department, it found the gallows where Comrade Li Dazhao was inaugurated.
This document of the award and promotion of the Beijing Division Police Department in 1927 shows that Chen Xingya, then director of the Beijing Police Department, Wu Yuwen, director of the Investigation Division, Lei Hengcheng, deputy director of the Division, and Pu Zhizhong, director of the Judicial Division, were commended by Zhang Zuolin for their meritorious efforts in the arrest of Li Dazhao.
These four people were thus identified as the ** who killed Li Dazhao.
Peng Zhen, secretary of the Beijing Municipal CPC Committee, personally instructed the public security bureau to track down the real culprit in the murder of Comrade Li Dazhao.
This bloody case seems destined to become a headless public case, but an unexpected report letter unexpectedly reveals the truth of the case. On June 5, 1951, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau received a report letter from the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Railways, which pointed out that the mastermind of the murder of Comrade Li Dazhao was Wu Yuwen, the director of Zhang Zuolin's Investigation Division at that time, and that he was now in the Gulouwan area of Beijing.
After receiving the clues, Feng Jiping, director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, immediately ordered Di Fei, director of the Investigation Division, to launch an investigation. Di Fei is an experienced scout, and after he saw the letter, he did not immediately launch a large-scale investigation, but asked the investigator Wen Zhenhai to investigate secretly.
The next day, Wen Zhenhai rode his bicycle to the Gulou area to look for the Gulou Bay mentioned in the letter, but he searched the entire area but could not find this place. Wen Zhenhai began to become anxious, and he couldn't help but begin to wonder if the information in the letter was true.
It turned out that in the old society, the people living in the area of Gulou Bay were all dignitaries, which was more in line with Wu Bozai's status in the old society, and the number in the letter should refer to the house number 4.
After determining the goal, Wen Zhenhai did not hesitate and immediately rode a bicycle to No. 4 Jiugulou Street. No. 4 Old Gulou Street is a courtyard house, the yard is full of people, Wen Zhenhai can't help but have a head bigger than two.
Considering Wu Bozhai's status in the old society, Wen Zhenhai believes that it is very likely that he is the one who lives in Beiwu. Wen Zhenhai strode towards the north house, but before he entered the house, a foul smell came from the house.
Wen Zhenhai was in the house of Wu Yuwen, who was arrested in accordance with the law, the door was empty, and the smell was overflowing. He knocked on the door and asked if he could find Yu Yongkui, but no one answered. Pushing open the door, he smelled a disgusting odor, apparently it had been a long time since the windows had been opened for ventilation.
The old man in the house seemed to know that someone had broken in, and said angrily that there was no one in the house he was looking for. Despite this, Wen Zhenhai still stepped forward to ask if Yu Yongkui was there, but the old man repeated the same words, obviously wanting him to leave.
As an excellent investigator, Wen Zhenhai deliberately pretended not to understand, and leaned forward, curiously asking about the old man's physical condition, hoping to know more about the situation. However, the old man only replied coldly that his days were numbered and that he was not willing to talk much.
FigAfter Peng Zhen and Wen Zhenhai got the situation of the old man in Beiwu, he immediately rushed back to the public security bureau. He found that Di Fei had completed the investigation in advance, found Wu Yuwen's criminal evidence and **, and basically determined that Wu Boya was the real murderer of Li Dazhao back then.
After Peng Zhen listened to Feng Jiping's report, he immediately instructed Wu Yuwen to be arrested. During the interrogation, Wu Yuwen confessed to his crimes, and also confessed the crimes of Lei Hengcheng and others.
However, the case of several other ** remains a mystery. During the investigation of Wu Yuwen's case, the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau received an important clue: There was a monk in the temple in the northwest corner of Beijing, "Liao Ming Zen Master", who was one of the real murderers of Li Dazhao before the liberation.
However, when the public security officers went to investigate, they found that the "Zen Master of Liaoming" had left Beijing and was heading for Shanghai. Investigators immediately went to Shanghai to try to find his traces.
After receiving a letter from the Ministry of Public Security, the new branch of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau took urgent action and launched an in-depth investigation. The letter mentions a man named "Zen Master Liming", who was identified as a traitor and spy who recognized the thief as his father.
In the course of the investigation, they found a deputy director of the investigation department of the Beijing Police Department named Lei Hengcheng, who had led the military police to search the Soviet embassy in the sixteenth year, resulting in Li Dazhao and dozens of martyrs being hanged.
Although no clues were found in the household registration information, they still found clues during the field visit and found an old man named Zhao Zhi'an who lived as a fortune teller on the second floor of Building 46 of Marlis's Apartment, and had a few gold teeth in his mouth, and carried a gold watch rewarded by the former Qing Emperor, and he never left his body.
Lu Quanfa incarnated as a fortune teller and went to Zhao Zhi'an's house to confirm Lei Hengcheng's identity. He found that the old man who opened the door was dressed in a fairy air, with a long beard fluttering, and spoke confidently and eloquently.
Lu Quanfa observed his appearance and found that it was basically consistent with the description in the letter, and the old man's mouth was shining with golden teeth, which were obviously gold teeth, which further confirmed his identity.
Lu Quanfa pretended to take out his watch to look at the time, and skillfully asked the old man to take out his gold watch, and all the characteristics were consistent with Lei Hengcheng. Lu Quanfa calmly left Zhao Zhi'an's house and discussed the arrest plan with everyone.
That night, the Shanghai public security organs acted quickly and successfully arrested Lei Hengcheng.
Faced with ironclad facts, Lei Hengcheng was forced to admit his crime. His crimes are so numerous that they are creepy. During his tenure at the Kyoshi Police Department, he was nicknamed "Thunder Hammer" for his brutal methods and wanton torture.
During his tenure as deputy director of the Investigation Division of the Jingshi Police Agency, he not only personally participated in the arrest of Li Dazhao, but also participated in interrogations and used torture in an extremely cruel manner. He said he was only carrying out orders, but he could not cover up his crimes.
After Li Dazhao was killed, he defected to the Northeast Army, and then defected to the enemy after the September 18 Incident, and successively served as a puppet in Wanping and Shandong.
It wasn't until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War that he realized that he had committed many crimes and was vulnerable to liquidation, so he turned into a monk, became a "Ming Zen master", and fled to the south.
However, his crimes did not disappear with his disguise. In October 1952, he was forced to confess to his crimes, and when the evidence was conclusive and the facts were clear, the East China Public Security Bureau recommended that he should be punished with death.
The following is Lei Hengcheng's questionnaire, please take a closer look.
The arrest and search warrant of the Shanghai Municipal People's Public Security Bureau announced the end of the crime. The arrest of Wu Yuwen and Lei Hengcheng made Pu Zhizhong and Chen Xingya feel the ruthlessness of the law.
In the case of Li Dazhao's murder, Li Bohai, who defected to the enemy and betrayed Li Dazhao, has a noble status, is familiar with the early members of the Communist Party of China, is the early founder of the northern party organization of the Communist Party of China, and has held many important positions.
However, his impunity brought great damage to the underground party organization in the north of the CCP at that time. In the end, Li Bohai**, unable to withstand the torture, confessed Li Dazhao's hiding place.
After Zhang Zuolin learned that Li Dazhao was hiding in the Soviet Russian Embassy, although he was suspicious, in order to confirm the authenticity of the news, he obtained the consent of the Dongjiaomin Lane Legation and sent the policeman Ji Shi'an to investigate.
By virtue of his friendship with ministers from various countries, Ji Shi'an successfully entered the Soviet Russian embassy and sent a note to Li Dazhao in the name of the CCP. The people from the Russian embassy did not suspect it and handed over the note to Li Dazhao.
When Li Dazhao **, in order to protect the innocent, he did not shoot, but together with his wife and children and 60 revolutionary workers**, he finally died in the hands of the enemy.
Although there is controversy about the timing of Li Bohai's defection, the fact of his defection is undoubted.
Li Bohai, formerly known as Zhang Zuolin, one of the first to kill Mr. Li Dazhao, later changed his name to Li Tiancai, and was reused in the Northeast Army. He had connections with the CCP's Northern Party organization and the Kuomintang Fuxing Society, and established an underground party organization in the Northeast Army.
He also played an active role in the Xi'an Incident. Although he played an ignominious role in the murder of Li Dazhao, he also had some merits in terms of history.
In 1981, the Shanghai District Court revoked the verdict against Li Tiancai and rehabilitated him. In the revision of the verdict, Li Bohai was specifically mentioned to some historical problems in the past, and in accordance with the spirit of **, it was finally decided not to pursue him and treat him as a person who defected to the uprising.
With regard to these criminals who killed Li Dazhao, although we have always adhered to the principle of severe punishment according to law, in practice, our party's attitude toward them is particularly magnanimous.
For example, Wu Yuwen. When Wu Yuwen was arrested, he was nearly seventy years old and suffering from various diseases. At that time, some people thought that Wu Yuwen was terminally ill, and even if we didn't arrest him, he wouldn't live long.
But Peng Zhen always adhered to the principle of the rule of law and demanded the arrest of Wu Yuwen: "Even if he only has one breath left, he must be arrested, this is to correct the reactionary history!" On June 20, 1951, after Wu Yuwen was arrested and brought to justice, he truthfully confessed his crimes.
The people** took into account that although he committed the most heinous crimes, he was in extremely poor health, and therefore followed the principle of humanitarianism and did not sentence him to death, but commuted his sentence to life imprisonment.
After Wu Yuwen was imprisoned, he not only had someone to take care of him, but also contributed money and efforts to help him treat his illness. Two years later, Wu Yuwen died of illness in prison, ending his life of crime.
