Exposing the shooting of Tan Furen and being shot by the gangster Wang Zizheng, he asked for help from the guards why they did not open the door
In 1970, General Tan Furen, then political commissar of the Kunming Military Region, was assassinated. The incident shocked the whole country, and the central authorities quickly sent a special task force to intervene in the investigation. As the investigation progressed, investigators found that before and after the case, some strange things had happened one after another. It was the occurrence of these things that made Tan Furen not wrap his body in The Battlefield, but instead died at the hands of gangsters.
Tan Furen A prisoner of the White Army who can sing the international anthem
In February 1928, Chairman Mao led the main force of the Red Army to raid the county seat of Ninggang, defeating the troops under the Kuomintang Zhu Peide and capturing hundreds of enemy troops. When Chen Shiqu was patrolling, he suddenly founded the sound of the international song coming from the corner, and Chen Shiqu was very surprised, because no one in the White Army could sing the international song, and the people who could sing the international song were definitely their own.
Chen Shiqu quickly followed the direction in which the song came from and found the captive who was singing. Chen Shiqu quickly asked the captives what their names were and why they sang the international song. The captive immediately replied that his name was Tan Furen and that he was from Guangdong. He participated in the peasant association organized by Zhu Yuanqing and also participated in the Nanchang Uprising, but later because he was separated from the troops, he was tricked into the White Army.
Chen Shiqu was excited to find his comrades, and immediately sent Tan Furen to see Zhu Yunqing, and Zhu Yunqing was also very excited after seeing Tan Furen. In this way, Tan Furen returned to the revolutionary ranks. When Chairman Mao heard about this incident, he was also full of emotion and said heartily: "This is a good seedling, destined to remain in the revolutionary ranks." ”
A founding lieutenant general with great military achievements
Tan Furen, who returned to the revolutionary ranks, has always been ashamed of participating in the White Army, and during the Jinggangshan period, Tan Furen was known for his boldness and bravery in battle. Tan Furen performed well in battle and soon became one of the outstanding cadres of the party. Later, Tan Furen participated in five anti-encirclement campaigns and a 25,000-mile long march with the Red Army, and became an unswerving communist.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Tan Furen participated in the famous PingxingGuan Victory, and developed the Jiluyu Anti-Japanese Base Area and the Coastal Anti-Japanese Base Area, and also repelled many encirclements and suppressions by the Japanese army. During the Liberation War, Tan Furen participated in the battles of Liaoshen, Pingjin, Xianggan, and Guangdong, and made great contributions to the establishment of New China. For his outstanding merits and contributions, in 1955, the Central Military Commission awarded Tan Furen the title of Lieutenant General.
Wang Zizheng, who blended into the revolutionary ranks
Wang Zizheng is a native of Huang County, Henan. In the early days of the Liberation War, as soon as the People's Liberation Army withdrew from northern Henan, Wang Zizheng and his cousin organized local reactionary forces and formed a homecoming regiment to return to their hometown and killed the director of the local Armed Forces Committee. Later, with Liu Deng's army advancing into the Dabie Mountains, Wang Zhizheng escaped from his hometown, changed his name to Wang Zizheng, and joined the People's Liberation Army, blending into the revolutionary ranks.
Wang Zizheng was tall and had a mighty aura. After joining the People's Liberation Army, Wang Zizheng accompanied the troops in the southern conquest of the northern war, from the Central Plains to the southwest, and made many meritorious contributions and was commended by the organization. In peacetime, Wang Zizheng, because of his outstanding talents, served as a firearm custodian in the Logistics Department of the Kunming Military Region and a deputy chief of the Security Section of the Military Region.
Perhaps because he was afraid that his black history would be exposed, or because of his professional habits, Wang Zizheng did not like to talk in his interactions with other comrades, and rarely had contact with other people outside of work. Wang Zizheng's taciturnity allowed him to hide safely in the revolutionary ranks for more than twenty years, and his position was rising higher and higher.
Under the conditions at that time, it was difficult to find bad people like Wang Zizheng who had mixed into the revolutionary ranks. But tan Furen's tragedy shows that such people can often bring great harm to the party and the country.
The people of Huangxian County have been pursuing the murderer for twenty years
After liberation, Wang Zizheng's cousin Wang Mou was brought to justice on the spot, and Wang Zizheng changed his name because he left his hometown, making it more difficult to pursue the murderer, but the people's government of Huangxian County, Henan Province, has not given up the pursuit of him. After 1966, the local people in Huangxian County once again demanded that Wang Zhizheng, the fish that had slipped through the net, be caught.
According to the feedback of the masses, after Wang Zhizheng ran to other places, he fabricated his birth history and mixed with the troops. The Huangxian Revolutionary Committee immediately sent people to investigate the situation reported by the masses. After investigation, Wang Zhizheng sent a letter back to his hometown, saying that he had changed careers and was currently working in a tin mine. The Revolutionary Committee immediately wrote to the tin mine, but no one responded. When the Revolutionary Committee saw the letter sinking into the sea, it further investigated Wang Zhizheng's family.
After a detailed investigation, the Revolutionary Committee found that Wang Zhizheng and his family once had a correspondence address at No. 50, Jingguo New Village, Kunming City. Therefore, according to the address on the letter, the Revolutionary Committee wrote a letter to Wang Zhizheng in the name of relatives and friends. Soon after, the letter was returned on the grounds that "no such person was found".
Jingguo New Village is located in the compound of the Kunming Military Region, and due to the strict management of the compound of the Military Region, there is a No. 50 outside the Military Region and a No. 50 inside the Military Region. Ordinary letters can generally only be sent outside the compound of the military region, and the person sent by the Revolutionary Committee is "Wang Zhizheng", not Wang Zizheng in the compound, so there is certainly no such person.
Seeing that the case had not progressed, the people in the Revolutionary Committee were a little discouraged. After discussion, the Revolutionary Committee decided to simply send the whistle-blowing letter and whistle-blowing materials to the Yunnan Provincial Revolutionary Committee. Soon after, the whistleblower materials were sent to the People's Insurance Group of the Yunnan Provincial Revolutionary Committee. Coincidentally, among the staff of the people's security group was He Fengyu, section chief from the Security Department of the Kunming Military Region.
After He Fengyu, who also worked in the military region, saw the whistleblowing materials, he decided that this "Wang Zhizheng" was likely to be Wang Zizheng. For the sake of prudence, he forwarded the materials to the minister of cadres of the military region. After seeing the materials, the cadre minister felt that the matter was important and sent the materials to Lei Qiyun, deputy political commissar and director of the political department of the military region.
After Lei Qiyun saw the materials, he immediately took the materials to find Tan Furen. After Tan Furen saw the materials, he immediately organized a meeting of the party committee of the military region to study the materials for reporting. The party committee of the military region decided to first send someone to Wang Zizheng's hometown to check the situation, and if the situation is true, then isolate and examine him.
As soon as the military region investigators arrived in Wang Zizheng's hometown, Wang Zizheng received the wind through his family. For this reason, Wang Zizheng was very uneasy and could not sleep all night, in order to cover up the evidence of the crime, Wang Zizheng sent his wife back to his hometown and made an offensive and defensive alliance with relevant personnel.
However, the paper package could not hold the fire, the investigation of the personnel received strong support from the local government and the masses, and Wang Zizheng's behavior was recorded by the investigators, brought back to the Kunming Military Region, and handed over to the Party Committee of the Military Region. After Tan Furen saw the results of the investigation, he immediately ordered wang Zizheng to be quarantined and examined.
Skynet Restoration Wang Zizheng's true identity was revealed
After being quarantined for review, Wang Zizheng admitted that he had only participated in the killing of the director of the Armed Forces Committee, but insisted that he was only an accessory and did not shoot. Because the first offender in the case, Wang Mou, has been brought to justice, and most of the other participants are not alive, this case is an unsolved case without evidence. In this way, Wang Zizheng was isolated and interrogated for more than 7 months, and the case was still inconclusive.
Although he was defending himself, Wang Zizheng knew in his heart that although he could not confirm who personally shot the director of the Armed Forces Committee. Just by participating in the killing of Communist Party cadres by the homecoming regiment, one is already a counter-revolutionary. Coupled with the fact that he concealed his rich peasant origins, fabricated his origins and mixed with the People's Liberation Army, and his multiple crimes were superimposed, his fate was even more unpredictable.
Thinking of this, Wang Zizheng once felt desperate. But he refused to reflect on himself and was willing to surrender. In order to make his death "worthwhile", Wang Zizheng decided to pull several people to accompany him to the funeral before dying. In his diary, Wang Zizheng repeatedly wrote down the main leaders of the military region's party committee into the list.
However, Wang Zizheng changed his mind and felt that if he wanted to play, he would have to play big, so he set his target on Tan Furen, the political commissar of the military region, and for this reason he began to brew an assassination plan.
Internal chaos has led to the killer being able to easily go out and commit crimes
As a cadre of the Security Section of the Military Region, Wang Zizheng was naturally very familiar with the distribution of rooms in the Military Region, the arrangement of posts, and the law of the activities of the personnel of the Military Region. Due to the small intensity of the quarantine and review at that time, and the fact that the management office at that time was full of recruits, Wang Zizheng took advantage of the gap between the soldiers changing guards and walked out of the detention center in the early morning of December 17.
Wang Zizheng first came to the secrecy room of the Military Region's Security Department, because Wang Zizheng had worked here and was very familiar with the location where the guns were stored. In addition, at that time, the secret room did not have an external lock, and only the password was needed to enter. Wang Zi has been working here for many years, and entering the password is a small thing for him. In this way, Wang Zizheng easily got two pistols and walked through the layers of guards to the house where Tan Furen lived.
Tan Furen was equipped with a total of 5 guards at that time, usually 2 people at the front door and 3 people in the room. Coincidentally, at that time, the troops were undergoing a thousand-mile training, and Tan Furen's guards were drawn to 3 people. This invisibly eased the difficulty of Wang Zizheng's criminal behavior.
Tan Furen almost did not encounter anyone, went straight to Tan Furen's bedroom, and then began to knock on the door. That night, Tan Furen did not live in his bedroom, it was Tan Furen's wife Wang Liyan who got up and opened the door.
After opening the door, Wang Zizheng found that Tan Furen was not there, so he pointed a gun at Wang Liyan and asked, "Where is Tan Furen?" Wang Liyan replied, "I don't know." Wang Zizheng did not believe it, searched the whole room, and indeed found that Tan Furen was not there, and Wang Zizheng, who was embarrassed and angry, immediately shot and killed Wang Liyan.
It was more than 4 a.m., and the entire military compound was very quiet. The sudden sound of gunfire, like thunder, woke up all the people in the compound of the military region. Wang Zizheng knew that the matter had been revealed, and he was not in the mood to search for Tan Furen one by one. Just as he was about to escape, Tan Furen, who was sleeping in the next room, heard the gunshots and immediately got up and ran outside. Seeing Tan Furen running out of the room, Wang Zi was surprised and happy, and immediately went to chase Tan Furen.
The guards, who were pregnant with ghost fetuses, refused to open the door at a critical moment
Due to the long period of time, Tan Furen, who has experienced life and death on the battlefield, has long since stopped carrying a gun with him. Seeing that Wang Zizheng was coming, he put his hope of survival on the guards, but when he went to knock on the door, he was desperate to find that both of his guards had their doors locked.
The reason the first guard did not open the door was not that he was not awake, but because he was afraid. According to the post-mortem investigation, the guard confessed his thoughts. This guard had never been to the battlefield, and when he heard the real gunshots, he was so frightened that he couldn't even wear his pants.
The other guard's reason for not opening the door was even more absurd, because he was sleeping with a nanny who was 30 years older than him. As the two men were entangled, the door slammed. At that time, his adulterous behavior was a very serious act, so he did not dare to open the door because he was afraid that the matter with the nanny would be revealed.
As the guards of the leaders of the grand military region, in the face of danger, these two guards completely lost the basic ethics of the soldiers, and also lost the courage that the soldiers should naturally have. After the results of the investigation came out, Premier Zhou was very angry and angrily denounced the two guards as "the worst guards".
The internal management of the military region was chaotic, coupled with two unreliable guards, Tan Furen could be said to be calling the heavens and the earth unspiritual, and was forced into a corner by Wang Zizheng with a gun. After Wang Zizheng saw that Tan Furen was unarmed, he pulled the trigger very calmly, and Tan Furen fell to the ground in response.
After Wang Zizheng completed the assassination, according to the original plan, he would continue to assassinate Chen Hanzhong, the head of the security section, because he did not know Chen Hanzhong's home, he found a 13-year-old teenager and asked for directions. After arriving at Chen Hanzhong's home, Wang Zizheng found that Chen Hanzhong had gone on a business trip, and Wang Zizheng, who had been empty, had to return to the detention center.
Chaotic investigation process
Tan Furen was immediately sent to the hospital for rescue, and in order to cure Tan Furen, Premier Zhou also urgently transferred doctors from Beijing Hospital to Kunming to carry out rescue. However, Tan Furen finally died of his injuries, and a generation of famous generals died at the age of 60.
Lieutenant General Tan Furen is the highest-ranking leader assassinated since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The case immediately attracted the attention of the party and state leaders, and Premier Zhou immediately set up a special team to go to Kunming to investigate after the case.
After the incident, the Kunming Military Region cooperated with the special case team to launch an investigation. The initial investigation was clueless, and there was no idea to solve the case. At that time, the special case team listed a number of suspects, but there was no name of Wang Zizheng. Looking at the huge investigation, Wang Zizheng was also a little worried at first, but as the newspaper published the news of Tan Furen's death, Wang Zizheng was still a little excited in his heart after seeing the newspaper, thinking that his behavior was seamless.
Premier Zhou was very dissatisfied with the efficiency of the special case group and the Kunming Military Region and ordered a thorough investigation to continue. From the shell casings and footprints at the scene, the task force found clues pointing to Wang Zizheng. Soon after, the special case team found the teenager who gave Wang Zizheng directions, and the process of the case had come to light. Unfortunately, Wang Zizheng committed suicide by drinking a bullet after discovering that the case had been revealed.
Tan Furen's case looks very incredible today, Wang Zizheng had lost his personal freedom at that time, according to general common sense, Wang Zizheng wanted to carry out assassination activities, the possibility is very small, but the fact is that Wang Zizheng just walked out of the detention center, got a weapon, broke into the heavily guarded military compound, and after completing the criminal act, he also returned to the detention center without anyone.
Tan Furen's assassination reflects the harm of the movement's impact on social order during the turmoil. Even the most heavily guarded military districts could be easily accessed by gangsters, which shows the extent to which the social order at that time had been chaotic.
