In 1931, the Provisional Chairman of the Chinese Soviet Republic received a letter for help from the Provisional Chairman of the Chinese Soviet Republic. The letter mentioned that Shanghai temporarily requested support from Ruijin for funds to rescue nine underground party fighters who had been arrested by the reactionaries.
Although the Ruijin Soviet had just been established, it was decided to melt a batch of jewelry captured from the battle into 12 gold bars, totaling 120 taels, and urgently send them to Shanghai.
However, when these ** arrived in Shanghai, something unexpected happened - * actually "disappeared". Due to the lack of receipt of **, the rescue operation could not be carried out, and as a result, nine ** underground party fighters were killed.
In this regard, ** was furious and immediately ordered a strict investigation to find out who stole it**. However, these 120 taels have been searched for 18 years, and they have also been thinking about it for 18 years.
So, who took the ** away? This story starts with Gu Shunzhang's rebellion in 1931.
In late April 1931, Gu Shunzhang, the head of the special branch of the Communist Party of China, was recognized by the traitor Wang Zhuqiao on a cruise ship from Wuchang to Wuhan. Gu Shunzhang, one of the early leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, was escorted to the Kuomintang Wuhan Pacification Office camp.
Regrettably, he chose to defect without being tortured, revealing a large number of our party's organs in Wuhan, resulting in the devastating destruction of our party's underground organization in Wuhan.
Gu Shunzhang was well aware that there were people lurking in the Kuomintang spy system in Nanjing, so he took the initiative to ask to meet Chiang Kai-shek and implored the Kuomintang authorities in Wuhan not to disclose the news of his defection to Nanjing.
However, He Chengjun, the head of the Kuomintang Wuhan camp, still informed the Nanjing side of the news. After receiving the telegram, Qian Zhuangfei, confidential secretary of the Party Affairs Investigation Section of the Organization Department of the Kuomintang, immediately managed to notify the temporary ** in Shanghai, so that the temporary ** could be transferred to a new address ahead of schedule and avoid the dangerous situation of being attacked by the Kuomintang authorities in an all-round way.
Although the Kuomintang failed to sabotage our party's temporary ** in Shanghai, Gu Shunzhang had secret information about our party in Shanghai, which directly led to the fact that our party's underground party in Shanghai was almost completely destroyed by the enemy, and many underground party members**.
Temporarily running out of funds for the rescue of comrades and medical expenses, even to the point where they can't even afford to pay the rent. At this time, nine more comrades were arrested by the Kuomintang.
In order to rescue these comrades, the Shanghai Provisional ** had to ask for help from the Provisional ** of the Chinese Soviet Republic, which had not long been established in Ruijingang, Jiangsu. Missing copper chests. When the chairman of the executive committee received this letter of help, he decided to send the gold jewelry previously captured in the battle to Shanghai for temporary rescue.
However, these gold jewellery are too conspicuous and scattered, and losing one of them is a huge loss. Therefore, ** it was decided to melt them into convenient gold bars and give them to reliable comrades to take to Shanghai.
The gold bars left over from the last century were carefully forged into 12 gold bars, each weighing 10 taels, for a total of 120 taels**. In order to ensure safety, it was decided to transport the precious goods by 7 traffic crews, but they did not know what goods were to be transported.
All they had to do was a piece of chess piece with the word "fast" on it, a lock, and a key that didn't match, and what they really wanted to transport was a small copper box that looked ordinary but was actually extremely important.
Under a very careful arrangement, the traffic officer arrived at the designated place with a small copper box and handed over to the handover officer. In order to ensure the safety of the goods, the traffic officer needs to show the chess pieces first and pair them with the opponent's chess pieces.
Only when the key in the opponent's hand can open the lock of the traffic officer and hand over the goods to the other party, the traffic officer will exchange the pieces in his hand. However, the temporary *** did not receive the funds, so a number of reminder telegrams were sent.
According to the plan, the first traffic officer was supposed to leave in early November, but after two months, Shanghai had not received **. This made Ruijin realize that something might be wrong.
The disappearance of 120 taels directly led to the failure of the temporary ** rescue operation, and 9 comrades died as a result. ** Criticized for this and ordered a strict investigation of the matter.
After investigation, the staff of the Security Bureau found that except for the chess pieces with the word "fast" that had not returned, the other chess pieces had been mailed back to Ruijin, and the traffic officer at the last stop was also missing.
Although the intelligence officers of the Shanghai ** Special Branch were invited to assist in the investigation, due to the prevalence of white terror in Shanghai, the matter was ultimately inconclusive and became an unsolved case.
After 18 years in old Shanghai, the mysterious disappearance of 120 taels has been plaguing Chairman ***, especially the price of the lives of 9 soldiers paid for it, which made him deeply distressed.
Soon after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the company ordered a thorough investigation into the theft, and the East China Bureau handed over this important task to the Third Investigation Group of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau's Unsolved Cases Office.
The team members include Jiang Wenzeng, Xu Deshen, Wu Hong and Xu Liding. However, the difficulty of this case is extremely high. The case file is only two pages, and 18 years have passed, Shanghai has experienced the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and it is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task to find a person who disappeared 18 years ago.
In addition, the matter was supervised by **, and the chairman was also very concerned about the case, which made the investigation team feel extremely stressed. However, it was precisely because of the attention of ** that the investigation team, with its unremitting efforts, soon got an important clue.
The sixth traffic officer is named Liu Zhichun, who now lives in Nanchang, Jiangxi. Jiang Wenzeng and four other investigators immediately went to Nanchang and met Liu Zhichun. Liu Zhichun told them that at 4 p.m. on December 3, 1931, he met the seventh traffic officer in a hotel called "Hanyuan" in Songjiang.
At that time, a man dressed in black and wearing a black hat walked into the hotel and asked the owner loudly if there was a guest with a Hangzhou accent. When the innkeeper pointed to Liu Zhichun, who was eating in the lobby, the man said that was the person he was looking for.
This is an important clue, and the investigation team will continue to pursue it, hoping to find the missing ** and solve the mystery.
His old comrade-in-arms Du Fuming is now a staff officer at the Songjiang Military Divisional Headquarters. Du Fuming invited Xu Deshen to taste the Shandong cuisine made by the new Shandong chef. During the meal, Xu Deshen was full of praise for the large intestine made by the Shandong chef, and asked Du Fuming to call the Shandong chef out to "drink two cups".
The delicacy of classic Lu cuisine is endless, Jiang Wenzeng and Xu Deshen began to discuss the case at hand after they were full of wine and food, and one of the black-clothed people who "evaporated from the world" gave Xu Deshen a headache.
At this time, a Shandong cook heard their complaints, wiped his mouth, and said: "I do know some information, in the past, there was a garrison regiment guest house in Songjiang, which only received the officers of the garrison regiment, and ordinary people did not know, and if you want to live, you must have the signature of the battalion commander." ”
When Jiang Wenzeng and Xu Deshen heard the news, they immediately left Du Fuming and the cook, returned to the hotel and called two other investigators, and went to the guest house of the former Kuomintang garrison regiment mentioned by the chef in Shandong to conduct an investigation.
They checked the list of guests on December 3, 1931, and found that only one "Shanghai Xiangdeyuan Guoyaohao" pharmaceutical man named Liang Bichun stayed that night, and the reason for his stay was: "Go to Songjiang to wholesale medicinal materials." ”
The investigators immediately rushed to Shanghai Xiangdeyuan Chinese Medicine to investigate, and the boss of the pharmacy Wei had a deep impression of Liang Bichun, and said: "That kid went to Songjiang on a business trip in **20, and when he came back, he said that he was tired and wanted to rest for a morning, but he never came back."
*In '31, his wife and children also mysteriously disappeared, and the police even came to look for me. ”
* The words of the pharmacy owner Wei revealed an astonishing secret: Liang Bichun was most likely the seventh traffic officer, who had returned home after getting the box of **, so he was suspected of committing a major crime.
With the help of the public security department, investigators quickly found Liang Bichun's wife, Chen Xiaozhen, and traced Liang Bichun, who lived in seclusion in Yangbang Town, Pudong, and at this time changed his name to "Shen Jigu".
However, investigators are puzzled by Liang Bichun's current living situation, he runs a watch repair stall and does not appear to be wealthy, which does not seem to match his status as a 120 tael**.
When investigators asked him if he was hiding there, he simply pointed to the stove outside. Investigators excitedly peeled open the bricks of the stove, but found only a thin envelope inside.
Liang Bichun explained that they might be referring to a small copper box from 1931, but that was not his. In December 1931, Liang Bichun took a small copper box to Caojiadu, Shanghai, by boat, thinking that as long as the small box was handed over to the organization, the task would be completed.
In order to hand over the small box to the organization as soon as possible, Cao Jiadu decided to take a taxi. He asked the driver to take him to Father Jin Road in the French Concession, which is now Ruijin 2nd Road in Shanghai's Luwan District.
It didn't take long for the rickshaw to come to Caojiadu Bridge. Because the bridge is shaky, the driver has a hard time pulling the car. Liang Bichun wanted to get out of the car first, but at this time, two "enthusiastic people" suddenly rushed out from the side, and they helped push the cart without saying a word.
Liang Bichun couldn't help but sigh: "There are still many good people in the world!" However, at this moment, a handkerchief stretched out from behind stunned Liang Bichun.
Liang Bichun wakes up in a strange room to find that his wallet is still there, but his small copper box is missing. He rushed out of the room, and one of the innkeepers told him that his three companions had left the night and that the inn had opened a room for him as they had told him.
Liang Bichun was described by the three men as "drunk". He knew that the small copper box contained something important, and that he could be assassinated if the organization found it missing.
He decided to run away, but to prove his innocence, he asked the innkeeper to give him a certificate and left in a hurry. Since then, he has opened a watch repair shop in the town of Yohama.
Investigators checked the innkeeper's words and found that the license plate number of the rickshaw that delivered Liang Bichun appeared to be a "big license plate" and the number was 300169.
In the old days of Shanghai, rickshaws, public concessions, French concessions and Chinese circles together constituted the unique style of the city. However, in order to solve the problem of chaotic vehicle traffic due to the initial issuance of their own license plates, the authorities of the three realms decided to issue a kind of "big license plate" for the whole city.
For example, "300169" represents the 169th license plate issued in 1930. However, due to the impact of the war, investigators were unable to find the culprit through this license plate, and the clue was interrupted.
Investigators believe that there is no way to investigate the case, and only know that the person who stole ** may be a rickshaw driver and two accomplices, and the license plate number is "300169".
But the higher authorities resolutely did not accept such a result, because the case was related to ***, and the three bold criminals had to be caught. Therefore, investigators can only continue to investigate the mysterious "rickshaw driver" and his accomplices.
In old Shanghai, investigators were helpless for a moment when faced with a case of narcotic robbery. So, they approached the old detectives who had served in the Kuomintang police department, hoping to get help from them.
The old criminal policemen are no strangers to this kind of case, but they said that it is too old to determine the life and death of the criminal and his whereabouts, and Liang Bichun has not described the specific appearance of the criminal, which is difficult to find.
Toward the end of the meeting, a veteran detective suggested that investigators go to Tilanqiao Prison to inquire about a group of pre-liberation criminals who were well informed and might know who had done it.
The investigators heeded his advice and decided to go to Tilanqiao Prison to look for clues.
Make progress! It turned out that a ** prisoner named Feng Anbao was found in Tilanqiao Prison, whose family used to run a car dealership before liberation and his family was well-off. When Feng Anbao was 16 years old, a rickshaw driver mortgaged a seventy percent new rickshaw to the Feng family because he could not repay the debt he owed to his father.
The case of the rickshaw driver stealing ** was shocked for a while, but in the end, with the unremitting efforts of **, it was successfully solved. The process of solving this case is full of drama, but more than that, it is the ingenuity and perseverance of the police officers.
In 1931, there was a **theft case on the streets of Shanghai, and after many investigations, the suspect Ji Jiagui was finally locked. Ji Jiagui opened a southern goods store in the Public Concession and made a fortune as a result.
However, after hearing the prison staff mention the theft case, Feng Anbao quickly thought of his cousin Ji Jiagui and decided to report him. Feng Anbao provided important clues to investigators in prison,** through the investigation, he learned that the license plate of the rickshaw was 300169, and successfully locked up Ji Jiagui's suspicion of committing the crime.
In the face of ironclad evidence, Ji Jiagui and his accomplice Liu Agu had no choice but to admit their guilt and confess the facts of their crime in detail. The successful detection of this theft case is inseparable from the unremitting efforts and ingenuity of the company.
In the process of solving the case, ** overcame various difficulties, and through unremitting tracking and investigation, the culprit was finally brought to justice. In 1950, Ji Jiagui and Liu Agu were sentenced to death for robbery, while Liang Bichun, the victim of the ** theft, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
This bizarre case ended in a victory for justice, and it once again proved the fairness and wisdom of **.
