Dusty Files Series 119: The Mysterious Sister Flower Disappearance (Part 2)

author:Sonar Institute

Fourth, turn to Nanjing

Going back, let's see how well the task force is doing.

At the first case analysis meeting, the special case team set up four investigative measures, and when these four measures were implemented, the only thing that was gained was a photograph found at Ding Peizhu's residence. After investigation, the address on the letter from Guangzhou is purely fictitious - Guangzhou has this street, but it does not have this house number.

This photo is a group photo of Ding Peizhu and several relatives, including Ding Hengxiu, when he went to Hong Kong for funerals. The task force asked Ding Peizhu himself and several other relatives to identify him and confirm that one of them was indeed Ding Hengxiu. As a result, this was handled by professional and technical personnel. In this way, the task force had a photo of Ding Hengxiu in its hands, and as for the photos of the twin sisters, it had already been transferred from their files.

Of course, having photos at hand at the moment cannot solve the problem, and what the task force needs to know is where Ding Hengxiu and his party went after leaving the Peace Hotel. Is it still staying in Shanghai but just changing accommodation, or has it already left? If they leave Shanghai, where is their destination? Did you smuggle yourself out of port, or did you stay in another city? What is the purpose of this stay? All this needs to be ascertained as soon as possible.

So the meeting was held again to discuss, and the focus of the problem focused on: According to the information provided by the Peace Hotel, Ding Hengxiu and the four people stayed in the shop for several days, they all went out during the day, returned at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and did not go out at night, drank in the restaurant, and then chatted in the coffee bar or room. Leaving aside what they talk about at night, what needs to be understood now is where they went during the day and what they did.

Investigators Chu Yiqing and Wang Jinsheng were ordered to go to the Peace Hotel to investigate: In those days, Ding Hengxiu and the four people entered and exited the hotel on foot or by car; if they took a bus, they called a taxi.

The Peace Hotel Security Department immediately summoned the lobby attendant of the hotel, usually the probability of the hotel staying in the twin passengers is extremely small, and the probability of staying in the twins is even more minimal, so the lobby attendants still remember the four passengers who have been going in and out together. According to a waiter, the two men did not pay attention to how they came to the hotel on the day they checked in, and then they took taxis when they went out.

Then there will be drama! At that time, there was only one taxi company in Shanghai Beach, with one hundred and eighty-five cars of various types, so it was rare to see taxis on the road, and the possibility of waving to stop the car at any time was very small, and usually the passengers who wanted to use the car were reserved. These four guests used the car at eight or nine o'clock in the morning for several days in a row, and it must have been booked. How do I make an appointment? When staying in a high-end hotel like the Fairmont Peace Hotel, of course, you will make a reservation through the front desk. Then check out at the front desk!

However, the front desk attendant shook his head: "When guests book a taxi, they usually call the hotel's switchboard directly in the room, and the switchboard operator serves them." ”

So I asked the switchboard operator again, there is a service record, checked, those days room 405 (that is, Zhong Junyi, ding Hengxiu stayed in the room) did let the switchboard book a taxi. That's it, run the taxi company.

The taxi company checked the registration information for the reserved car and quickly identified the dozen or so taxis that had gone to the Peace Hotel to carry passengers in those days. Then check the driver on duty according to the attendance record, at that time there was no car radio, mobile phone and other communication tools, so I had to ask one by one in person. Finally, I finally learned that Ding Hengxiu and the four of them went to Fudan University and Jiaotong University during the day.

After Chu Yiqing and Wang Jinsheng reported the results of the investigation to the leaders of the special case group, the two leaders, Zhang Zhichuan and Chao Jie, were secretly surprised: At this time, colleges and universities are carrying out a vigorous "anti-rightist" campaign.

After studying, it was decided to send personnel to Fudan and Jiaotong University to understand. However, colleges and universities have always opened the gate to allow anyone to come in and out, and at that time, there was no camera probe to leave monitoring data, so the security departments of Fudan and Jiaotong University learned about the following departments and said that they had not seen it. This thread was thus broken.

The task force analyzed the intention of the target to go to two universities, and the more it analyzed, the more it felt that most of it was related to the "anti-rightist" movement. In this way, it is basically certain that Ding Hengxiu's behavior is a kind of hostile action related to politics, and its purpose may be to incite "rightist" teachers and students to make trouble and engage in confrontation or collect relevant intelligence. Given that neither school has found any signs of activity by Ding Hengxiu and others, it is difficult to follow this clue to trace down.

At this time, another piece of news came: the Peace Hotel Security Section reported to the special case team, according to a waiter surnamed Xiao in the lobby of the store, when he was on duty at the lobby gate at about six o'clock that evening, a two-wheeled motorcycle came outside the door, and the cyclist was a man in his thirties, wearing the uniform of the railway staff, carrying a canvas satchel, and at a glance, he knew that it was the employee of the North Station who delivered the ticket. Sure enough, the man stopped and climbed the steps and told Master Xiao that he had delivered train tickets to the guests in room 405. According to the regulations of the hotel, similar to the delivery of tickets, takeaway and other personnel can not enter the hotel, you have to call the lobby attendant to inform the guest to go downstairs to the silver goods, if the guest asks the waiter to do the work, then the waiter will send the money into the room and take the money down to the delivery person. At that moment, Master Xiao asked the railway employee to wait, and he dialed the internal telephone to room 405. But there was no one in the room, it was estimated that the guest might have dinner in the restaurant of the hotel at this time, so he dialed the phone to the restaurant, and the guest in room 405 was indeed having dinner, so he asked him to come to the lobby to pick up the ticket. Master Xiao remembered that one of the two twin girls had come to the lobby to pick up the ticket, and when the railway employee handed it to her, he said, "You have booked four tickets to Nanjing." ”

This clue was too important, so Zhang Zhichuan, the leader of the special case team, decided to immediately go to Nanjing to track down Ding Hengxiu's four people, but it was difficult to decide how many people to send to Nanjing for a while, and there were fewer people to go, for fear that the investigation would not be spread; the special case team all rushed over, in case this was a false shot from the other side, so the suspicious position was deployed, and the Shanghai side could not continue to carry out the investigation. Zhang Zhichuan then consulted with Chao Jie, the deputy leader of the group and an investigator of the Jiangsu Provincial Department, and just after saying the beginning, Chao Jie received a call from Nanjing, informing him of a situation: Two hours ago, someone saw Peng Wenqian at the gate of Nanjing University!

Zhang Zhichuan immediately decided: All go to Ning!

Seeing Peng Wenqian at the gate of Nanjing University was her high school classmate Kang Jiahui. When this young man was in the winter vacation of his sophomore year of high school, his father died of illness, and his family's financial constraints caused him to drop out of school, and after more than half a year of temporary work, he was finally absorbed by the Post and Telecommunications Bureau as a postman. Two days ago, Kang Jiahui met Peng Wenqian's iron sister Chen Maomei on the road, and the old classmates had been away for a long time and always had to say a few words. As a result, Kang Jiahui learned about Peng Wenqian's disappearance. Chen Maomei is a person with a heart, she cared for Kang Jiahui and said that you are a postman, running around outside all day, seeing and listening to a lot, if you hear any news, please tell me immediately.

It was also a coincidence that Kang Jiahui rested today and went to Nanda to visit a friend. He took a bus past, the terminus of this road is in the South East Gate, where there is a large turntable, the car to the terminal station to drive around the big turntable before stopping and getting off the passengers. Just as he was turning along the big turntable, Kang Jiahui accidentally saw a girl standing at the school gate, it was Peng Wenqian! After he was frightened, he got up from his seat and wanted to shout, but he felt that this move seemed inappropriate, so he went to the station and got off the train and went to say hello. I didn't expect to blink like this, and when Kang Jiahui got out of the car, there was no longer Peng Wenqian's shadow at the school gate!

But Kang Jiahui still thought that he should tell Chen Maomei immediately, so he entered the post and telecommunications office on the side of the school entrance and called Chen Maomei's office in the Qinhuai District Government. Chen Maomei's first reaction after hearing about it was doubt, and he repeatedly asked Kang Jiahui if he had seen clearly. Kang Jiahui said that my eyesight is enough to be a pilot, and there is no reason why I can't see clearly! She was dressed in a light blue "Braji" and was a little taller than she had been in high school, as if she were more beautiful. As soon as Chen Maomei heard that Peng Wenqian was wearing a light blue "Braji", she immediately knew that Kang Jiahui was not wrong. Because of this kind of "Braji", she also had one, which she and Peng Wenqian looked at when they went to the department store together in the early summer of this year, and the two bought one each, and the color was the same.

Chen Maomei then called Peng Bangping and said Uncle Peng, do you have any news about Wen Qian there? No? Just now, a classmate of our high school saw Peng Wenqian at the east gate of Nanda University! Peng Bangping was surprised and delighted, and without saying a word, he immediately called the Gulou Sub-Bureau to report the news. After the Gulou sub-bureau inquired about the situation, it called Chen Maomei to inquire, and after listening to Chen Maomei say the details of "Braji", I believe that it is not out of thin air. The case had already been handled by the provincial department at that time, so the sub-bureau reported to the municipal bureau and the municipal bureau forwarded it to the provincial office.

After the special case team arrived in Nanjing, it immediately began to carry out the first step of investigation and directly found the witness Kang Jiahui. After listening to his statement, he took him to the east gate of Nanjing University for an on-site inspection. Zhang Zhichuan asked Chao Jie, "Do you know that Nanjing University has a guest house?" Chao Jie couldn't say clearly, and another Nanjing investigator, Lao Long, said that there seemed to be one. Zhang Zhichuan said that we would go to the guest house to bump into luck and see if the object lived there. The task force was empty in the guest house, where there were no four men and women like Ding Hengxiu.

The special case group then held a case analysis meeting, believing that Ding Hengxiu's train tickets they had booked at the Peace Hotel in Shanghai were indeed to Nanjing, and Peng Wenqian's appearance at Nanda showed that the motives of these four people to go to Nanjing were the same as in Shanghai, and they were staring at colleges and universities, presumably to gather intelligence on the "anti-rightist" movement. The question is, are they still in Nanjing?

After repeated deliberations, the investigators held that regardless of whether the target was still in Nanjing or not, it was necessary to investigate the various hotels, restaurants, and inns in Nanjing. Good luck, just happened to meet, of course, the best; bad luck did not collide and will not be frustrated, because Peng Wenqian and Ding Wenying's twin sisters will inevitably leave an impression on the waiters of the hotel where they once stayed.

Therefore, the special case team made two decisions: First, asked the Nanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau to assist in the overnight investigation of various public accommodation places in the city. Second, the special case team was divided into two groups, one group of people went to NTU to investigate whether anyone had seen the target appear on the campus, and the other group went to the railway station, the steamship dock and the long-distance bus station to investigate whether the staff and vendors had seen the target with the assistance of the resident police.

The special case group immediately contacted the Nanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the Nanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau vigorously supported this, not only dispatching front-line police, but also mobilizing the police officers of the municipal bureaus and sub-bureaus to work overtime to participate in the investigation, and the manpower was still insufficient, and even contacted the public security army stationed in Nanjing (that is, the predecessor of the armed police) to give support, and also reprinted and printed one hundred and sixty photos of Ding Hengxiu, Peng Wenqian, and Ding Wenying provided by the special case group. At that time, Zhang Zhichuan, head of the special case group, was puzzled by such a powerful posture, and pondered that this case might involve the gathering of intelligence by enemy special elements, but if Ding Hengxiu, the enemy special element involved in the case, should not be an important role in the secret service organs. Could there be a more complex context in this case? This question was not answered until several years later, when a fellow villager who was working in the security department told him that mao Zedong was stationed in Nanjing at that time when he was on tour of Beijing for the "anti-rightist" movement!

When the Nanjing police conducted a citywide investigation, the members of the special case team went to public places such as stations and wharves, and the public security and security departments stationed at the station cooperated to screen passengers and collect clues about whether there were targets. After such a night of tossing and turning, at dawn, the investigators analyzed the situation after the end of the investigation and meeting, and all said that nothing was found.

However, another investigation has been fruitful. The large-scale investigation work of the Nanjing police was carried out very meticulously, and all the hotels, guesthouses, inns, small inns and even public baths that are open to the public for 24 hours a day in various districts of Nanjing city are suitable for overnight accommodation. Because of the photographs and the obvious characteristics of the twin sisters, the investigation of various people and horses was carried out more smoothly. Finally, a clue was found at the Yingbin Hotel near Nanjing University: they checked in under their new pseudonyms with a special letter of introduction from the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League of China, and had already checked out and left at about 9 a.m. that day.

According to the regulations at that time, the introduction letter of the passenger staying in the hotel was retained by the service desk for reference by the public security organs when investigating. Ding Hengxiu's four-person accommodation introduction letter was no exception, so it was sent to the special case team. It should be fully affirmed that the technical level of the engraver whose real name is Song Yide is not only good at engraving all kinds of public and private seals, but also can use wooden boards, soap and even cold and hard glutinous rice cake balls to carve a version like a letter of introduction, which is fast and good, full of professional level! At this moment, the introduction letter of the Guangdong Provincial Youth League Committee that fell into the hands of the special case group was circulated by the investigators in turn and believed to be a genuine document. This is different from the introduction letter of the special souvenir import and export company that the target stayed at the Peace Hotel in Shanghai. Therefore, I called Guangzhou overnight to inquire. After some tossing, I got a conclusive answer from the Guangdong Provincial Youth League Committee: the introduction letter number of the inquiry did not exist. Therefore, this is a fake introduction letter that is very realistically forged.

This surprised everyone in the special case group, who at that time did not expect that Ding Hengxiu would actually bring a professional seal engraver to the interior to carry out activities, and forge a letter of introduction that could be stamped with an official seal as needed along the way when making a long trip. Therefore, according to the usual reconnaissance thinking, this situation was speculated, and it was believed that this should have been prepared before sneaking into the mainland from abroad. And the only one with such a forgery level is the enemy special organs. In this way, the task force is more convinced that the previous inference is not wrong, and they are facing foreign enemy elements!

Judging by the law of the target activities in Shanghai, since the four Ding Hengxiu people had already checked out and left the store at about 9:00 a.m. yesterday, they should have left Nanjing. Where will they go? Let's think about it or go to the Welcome Hotel where they are staying.

Investigators Li Songping and Xiao Chen went to the Yingbin Hotel to ask questions, but they were very disappointed. The Yingbin Hotel is a medium-class hotel in Nanjing, and judged by the current star standards, it is probably just enough to be "quasi-three-star". Railway traffic in Nanjing is not as convenient as in Shanghai, so the supply of train tickets is relatively tight. According to the regulations of the Nanjing Railway Department, such hotels cannot operate the business of booking train tickets. Therefore, the train tickets for Ding Hengxiu's four people to leave Nanjing should be solved by themselves, and it is estimated that most of them are directly purchased by queuing up at the railway station.

Li and Chen returned to the guest house of the provincial public security department where the special case group was temporarily stationed, and reported to the group leader Zhang Zhichuan, who was also dumbfounded, and the deputy group leader Chao Jie locked his eyebrows and said: "It seems that our luck is relatively poor." ”

In fact, the luck of the task force should be said to be OK, because just two or three minutes after Chao Jie's exclamation, as the phone rang suddenly, the situation took a turn for the better: the Welcome Hotel called and said that there was an employee who knew what you wanted to know.

The brother who called was Xiao Wei, the security officer of the Welcome Hotel. Just now, when Li Songping and Xiao Chen went to the hotel to investigate, he was the one who received them. Xiao Wei was on duty last night, the hotel's security officer on duty could have slept, as long as the inpatient passengers did not steal or anything like that, they could sleep until dawn, and then go to the restaurant to eat something and go home in good spirits. However, last night's situation was a little different, because last night's citywide hotel was inspected, and Xiao Wei, as a security officer, naturally had to appear and sing the protagonist. The clue was found at the Welcome Hotel, so he took a particularly long time, and he couldn't sleep for a while after the end, until it was light before he started snoring. Not long after sleeping, Xiao Wei was awakened - Li Songping and Xiao Chen came to learn about the train ticket, and of course he had to receive it.

After this toss, Xiao Wei simply stopped sleeping and went home after breakfast. That's where the turnaround comes in. When Xiao Wei went to the restaurant, it was already past nine o'clock, and the breakfast in the restaurant had ended. He said to Lao Xia, who was in charge of the stove: If you have anything to eat and fill your stomach, according to the usual breakfast standards (at that time, the restaurant staff must pay for meal tickets as usual), Lao Xia gave him a bowl of Yangchun noodles and served it. Lao Xia and Xiao Wei's father were old friends, so he and Xiao Wei had a good conversation, and immediately sat down to chat with Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei talked about the reason why breakfast was later than usual today, and Lao Xia suddenly smiled when he heard it. Xiao Wei asked him what he was laughing at, and Lao Xia held out his hand: "Come and give a cigarette, you will laugh too, and you will be happier than I am." ”

Lao Xia told Xiao Wei that the train tickets for the four people were going to Beijing, four hard sleeper tickets, and left nanjing station at noon yesterday. Xiao Wei asked how do you know? Old Xia said that I bought them the four tickets! Three days ago, at eight o'clock in the evening, Ding Hengxiu and the four of them went to the hotel restaurant for dinner. At that time, the restaurant was closed, the waiters were all off work, and only Lao Xia was still preparing the small dishes for tomorrow morning. A girl (I don't know whether it was Peng Wenqian or Ding Wenying) went into the kitchen and politely asked if they could cook a few more dishes, and they wanted to have dinner. Lao Xia said that the needs of guests are our job, of course, you can order. Because the waiter was already off work, Lao Xia cooked the four dishes they ordered and brought them to the table one by one. The four thanked him, and one of the oldest men took out a cigarette and asked Lao Xia to smoke it and talked a few words. He asked where the old Xia family lived, and old Xia replied that he lived in Shovel Lane on the other side of the central gate. Didn't the man say it was near the train station? Master, inquire about it, do you know that there is a shortage of train tickets in Nanjing? Lao Xia said that it depends on the time, like this season is the time of summer vacation, there are more people from all over nanjing to visit relatives and friends or visit, tickets are tight, you have to buy five or six days in advance.

As soon as these words were uttered, the other person's brow frowned, and he whispered to the other man: "Five or six days, this... It's too long! ”

Another man spoke, speaking Cantonese, Lao Xia basically could not understand, Presumably some idea. The man before him suddenly looked relieved, stood up and bowed his hand to Old Xia: "Master, I don't know if I can trouble you to buy four tickets for us?" You live at the train station, you may be familiar with the people at the station, you will be able to buy it for us. ”

Old Xia smiled and said, "I really let you talk about it, my wife works at the station." ”

Lao Xia was a warm-hearted person, who used to buy train tickets for passengers, and immediately accepted the other party's ticket purchase price, and the next day brought them four hard sleeper tickets to Beijing. The other party is very grateful, took out a "big front door" cigarette to give, old Xia Jian resigned, said that buying tickets for the passengers staying in the store is a common thing, the store is also allowed, but if you accept gifts from passengers for this, then you have to eat and go, and it is very strict to deal with.

When the special case team learned of this news, everyone was naturally happy, so they decided to go to Beijing immediately. Due to the tight time constraints, after asking the leaders for permission, the seven of them flew to Beijing by civilian plane, which was the first time in their lives that they took a plane, which was a rare thing worth bragging about at the time. However, none of them boasted, not because of modesty, but because the plane was actually in vain - after three days of investigation in Beijing, no clues were found about Ding Hengxiu's cadres!

Fifth, sneak into Wuhan

Why didn't the special case team find the clues of Ding Hengxiu's four people in Beijing? Because they didn't go to Beijing at all. At the moment, the four special travelers were leisurely staying in a hotel in another city, waiting to carry out an action that Ding Hengxiu considered "very valuable".

The city is - Wuhan!

Ding Hengxiu played a trick of "sound east to hit west", asking The chef of the Nanjing Yingbin Hotel, Lao Xia, to buy a hard sleeper ticket to Beijing, but in fact, the four of them took the Yangtze River passenger ferry up the river and went up to Wuhan. The reason why they played this trick was because they had already realized that there was a problem with their safety.

This should be attributed to a dream of Ding Wenying. That night, Ding Wenying had a terrible dream, she dreamed that her mother Ding Peizhu was lying in a hospital bed somehow dying, unable to even speak. She hurried to the hospital, and was told that Ding Peizhu had lost her foot and drowned. Ding Wenying was awakened by this dream, and when he woke up, he looked at his watch, which was four o'clock in the morning. It was not yet time to get up, so she did not take it seriously and went to sleep again. However, a strange scene happened: after Ding Wenying fell asleep again, he actually had a nightmare similar to that just now!

At this moment, Ding Wenying could no longer sleep. Although she never believed in superstition, at the moment she was uncertain and could not let go of her thoughts, so she woke up Peng Wenqian, who lived in the same room as her, and told the dream again. Peng Wenqian is different from Ding Wenying, when she was a child, she moved to Nanjing with her divorced father and lived with her grandfather and grandmother, and the old couple was a hardcore ghost theologian and often talked about various supernatural phenomena. Peng Wenqian received this kind of education from an early age, and when she grew up, she thought that there were indeed supernatural phenomena in the world, but science had not yet developed to the point where it could crack its mysteries. Therefore, at the moment, when she heard Ding Wenying say this, she concluded that her mother might have encountered some problems, of course, the interpretation of the dream has a reverse interpretation, which may not necessarily be a bad thing. The sisters discussed and decided to inform Ding Hengxiu of this matter and listen to his opinion.

At the breakfast table, Ding Wenying repeated the dream, and Peng Wenqian also said their worries. Ding Hengxiu listened to the laughter and said that this was a matter for no reason, and then asked Ding Wenying, you probably have not left your mother since you were a child, right? Ding Wenying nodded and said yes. Ding Hengxiu said that it seems that this is your subconscious mind thinking about your mother strongly, it doesn't matter, in a few days you will get used to it.

However, the sisters could not let go of this knot in their hearts, and the two quietly muttered, deciding to make a phone call to Shanghai without Ding Hengxiu. There was no telephone in the welcome hotel room, and the sisters went to the lobby after breakfast to borrow a telephone, but there were several passengers waiting there, and there was a queue to make a call. So they went out and went to a nearby post and telecommunications office to make a phone call.

The phone call was made by Peng Wenqian, because she was worried that if her sister heard something bad, she would be unable to calm down and show it on the spot, which would easily attract the attention of others. Ding Peizhu's family did not have a telephone, so this call was made to the paging booth. Shanghai's paging telephone booths usually have two or four telephones, two machines are guarded by one person, three or four machines are guarded by two people, the guards are usually aunts in their forties, after answering the phone, they will write down the address, name, and number and surname of the caller on a special small paper list, and then send it to the recipient's home; when there are not many calls, they will also call the callee from home to answer directly. There were two telephones at the paging booth in the lane where Ding Peizhu lived, so there was only one aunt on duty. When Peng Wenqian called the phone, the aunt just happened to deliver someone else's phone list, and it was answered by one of the few housewives who sat idly in the phone booth.

Peng Wenqian said: "Please call the 19th to answer the phone..."

The other person said, "You wait..." and then asked the person next to him, "Who is Number 19?" ”

The voice of another woman with a big voice with a Northern Jiangsu accent came from the headphones, saying that The 19th is not the Ding family? Aunt Ding was arrested by the public security bureau, and the home was also raided!

Peng Wenqian was taken aback and almost put the earpiece on the rack and hung up immediately, but immediately realized that it was dangerous to do so. Her reaction was swift, her eyes only turned to have an idea, and she shouted into the microphone: "Hey! feed! I'm not done yet! On the 19th, there are several families living, and I want to live in the third floor of the back room, Xiao Shen- Shen Mingjia answers the phone. "As soon as you say this, the other party thinks that she dialed the wrong phone and asks you what number you called." Peng Wenqian reported the number, deliberately said one of the numbers wrong, the other party said "you dialed the wrong", immediately hung up the phone.

Peng Wenqian came out of the call booth, her face already pale. Ding Wenying, who was waiting outside the call booth, couldn't help but panic and rushed up to ask what was wrong. Peng Wenqian shook her hand, went straight to the counter to settle the phone bill, and then pulled her sister out of the old distance in one breath before saying the situation. Ding Wenying couldn't hold on at the moment, hiding his face and sobbing, and Peng Wenqian didn't stop persuading. When the two walked to the intersection, Ding Hengxiu came out to look for them because he couldn't find them in the hotel, and when he saw them, he quietly asked what was going on. Peng Wenqian did not dare to hide it, so she told the situation. At this moment, it was Ding Hengxiu's turn to turn pale.

Back at the hotel, Ding Hengxiu instructed him to pack some luggage and prepare to leave the hotel, and he went to the lobby to check out. By the time Song Yide and his twin sisters packed up and went downstairs, he had already settled the bill and waited. The four of them left the hotel, regardless of three seven twenty-one, got on a bus and left. Peng Wenqian is a native of Nanjing, and it seems wrong to see: this car is not going to the railway station. Watching Ding Heng revise his mind to open his mouth, he was stopped by a look from the latter. After taking four stops, Ding Hengxiu let him get off the bus. Only then did he tell Song Yide and his sisters that we can't go to Beijing anymore, so we should immediately go to the Yangtze River Port Passenger Terminal and take a boat to Hankou! Song Yide didn't know what was happening, but he nodded. Peng Wenqian opened her mouth to ask questions, Ding Hengxiu said not to say it now, after a while on the boat, there is time to talk, and it is the right way to leave Nanjing quickly!

Taxis were scarce in Nanjing at the time, but there were horse-drawn carriages on the road. The four of them took a carriage to the steamship dock, regardless of the number of classes, as long as there was a ticket to Hankou, if there was any class, they would buy what class of service, and as a result, they only bought a pass ticket. At this time, there were more than two hours left the ship, and Ding Hengxiu prevented the twins from attracting attention, so he separated Ding Wenying and Peng Wenqian, Ding Wenying followed Song Yide, and Peng Wenqian followed him. During this time, Ding Hengxiu told the two girls about the situation of this trip to Hong Kong: I smuggled you over, but don't be afraid, as long as you follow me, everything is safe. As for your mother's arrest, it may have something to do with it. Don't worry about her, because the public security bureau arrested her only for review, and there is no evidence to deal with her. So as long as you continue to do as I tell you from now on, nothing will be wrong. If you are not discovered, your mother will be safe, and in the end the public security bureau can only release her.

Previously, Sisters Peng Wenqian and Ding Wenying had not asked or even considered what kind of way they would leave the mainland for Hong Kong, because Ding Peizhu told them that just by following Ding Hengxiu, everything had been arranged, and they would definitely be able to arrive in Hong Kong safely and without incident, and they would be able to settle down legally in Hong Kong. For their pampered rich daughters, the twenty-two-year-old is still in the stage of not being deeply involved in the world, and they are naturally convinced of their mother's statement. Now when I heard Ding Hengxiu say this, I knew that this matter was so dangerous, but at this time, it could not be changed. They no longer understand things, they still know a little about the movements since liberation, even if they are on the precipice at this moment, they certainly do not have good fruit to eat, and if they are not sentenced to leniency, re-education through labor will certainly not be able to escape. Ding Hengxiu was right, this would also become evidence of his mother's guilt. Therefore, at this point, I can only go out and take a risk. The idea was decided, and the sisters only hoped to get on the boat quickly and leave Nanjing.

After checking the tickets and getting on the ship, Ding Hengxiu went to the captain's room to make up a third-class ticket, and let Ding Wenying pass. When they arrived in Wuhu, they made up a fourth-class cabin and let Song Yide go, so as not to make this Cantonese-speaking old Guangdong pay attention to the police on the boat.

In this way, almost just as the task force flew to Beijing, Ding Hengxiu and the four arrived in Hankou. According to the advance plan, Ding Hengxiu will go to Wuhan University to collect intelligence. Considering that the twin sisters are too conspicuous and easy to attract the attention of others, Ding Hengxiu decided to stay separately. He and Ding Wenying stayed at the Wuhan University Guest House on Poyang Street in Hankou, and Song Yide and Peng Wenqian stayed at the Zhongnan Hotel, a stone's throw away from the Wuhan University Guest House.

The news of Ding Peizhu's arrest sounded an alarm bell for Ding Hengxiu, he did not know where the problem was, but realized that the state of "god is unaware" that he had originally thought of had obviously been broken, although he temporarily came up with a trick to attack the east and the west and gave up the trip to Beijing, but the sense of crisis had penetrated into the bone marrow, and Ding Hengxiu was very afraid. Only then did he understand why Taiwan's "Mainland Work Committee" would rather pay for him as a private investigator than use their own agents, and the safety factor of this difference was too small! Therefore, Ding Hengxiu decided to change the plan, not only Beijing did not go, but also the original Xi'an and Shenyang did not go, after leaving Wuhan, go to Guangzhou Sun Yat-sen University for a day or two, and then immediately smuggled back to Hong Kong.

In doing so, Ding Hengxiu, as Party B, is already in breach of contract, and Party A may card him when paying the balance of the honorarium. In order not to avoid this possibility, Ding Hengxiu decided to collect high-quality intelligence in Wuhan. When Shi Yibin first negotiated with him, he did not talk about collecting intelligence by recording, because Shi Yibin was an old agent who knew the major risks of completing this work with existing recording equipment and equipment, so he just said that he would do his best, and this content was not written into the contract. Now, Ding Hengxiu decided to find an opportunity to complete this work to make up for the lack of running to a few cities and achieve the purpose of not being deducted from the honorarium.

Therefore, Ding Hengxiu took Ding Wenying to Wuhan University. At that time, the "anti-rightist" movement at Wuhan University belonged to the category that was carried out in the national education circles with great sound and color. Ding Hengxiu successfully photographed some big character posters there, and unlike the previous trips to Fudan University, Jiaotong University and Nanjing University, he also carefully read some big character newspapers. Since he decided to take the risk of recording, he had to choose a goal of great value so that Party A could be satisfied.

After spending most of the day on the campus of Wuhan University, Ding Hengxiu chose a target. He was convinced that if the struggle of the "leftists" of Wuhan University against this goal could be recorded live, even if it was incomplete, it would definitely cause a huge sensation when it was brought to Hong Kong.

Indeed, the target chosen by Ding Hengxiu is a heavyweight figure, and this gentleman is a well-deserved generation of grandmasters in China's education circles and legal circles who can leave a name in history. His name was Han Depei, born in 1910, died in 2009, and lived to be ninety-nine years old. Han Depei is proficient in the five Chinese words of Britain, France, Japan, Germany and Russia, and this alone is already awe-inspiring! Mr. Han graduated from Chuo University in his early years and later went on a study tour in North America. At the end of 1945, Han Depei was invited by Zhou Kunsheng, president of Wuhan University and a famous jurist, to rush from Seattle to Wuhan University. As soon as Han Depei arrived at Wuhan University, he was hired as a professor. After 1949, Han Depei was not marginalized like most of the "old law personnel", on the contrary, at least until 1957, Han Depei was still a hot figure in Wuhan University, and he took charge of the academic affairs of Wuhan University and became the most important left arm of the then president Li Da.

Han Depei's experience in the 1957 "anti-rightist" movement is really ironic. In the climax of the song, Han Depei was busy with the recruitment of colleges and universities in the central and southern regions and did not make any remarks. Even at the forum of senior intellectuals in Wuhan held by Wang Renzhong, first secretary of the Hubei Provincial CPC Committee, Han Depei only said, "Everyone has talked a lot, and I have nothing to say." The reporter of Guangming Daily made three drafts five times, but was also rejected by Han Depei, and only in the end did he express his views on the collection and collation of judicial cases, believing that the relevant judicial departments did not attach much importance to this, "only listening to the sound of the stairs, not seeing people going downstairs." At the Wuhan University campus, the general secretary of the party branch of the law department came to the door to ask Han Depei to release it, but he did not pay attention to it. Instead, when he happened to be ill and hospitalized, the students of Wuhan University came to visit him and invited him to mingfang, and he could not bear to refuse the students, and casually coped with a sentence of "Wait until I come back." After the students returned to the school, they kindly released posters saying , "Professor Han Depei regularly tweets." Of course, this poster, like the movie trailer, later became one of Han Depei's crimes.

The reason why Ding Hengxiu set Han Depei as his "work goal" was that in addition to the above-mentioned great influence of Mr. Han in the education and academic circles, another important reason was that at that time, Han Depei was already listed as the "number one rightist of Wuhan University" together with Mr. Cheng Qianfan, another heavyweight professor of Wuhan University and the head of the department of Chinese. Cheng Qianfan was not afraid of power by nature, and always liked to speak freely, not to mention when he was released, so he was called "Right Marshal". Han Depei, on the other hand, was named "Yamanaka Prime Minister" among the "rightists." According to the "Biography of Tao Hongjing of Nanshi", Tao Hongjing once served as a general in the Zuo Wei Temple in Southern Qi, and although he lived in seclusion in the mountains when he arrived in Southern Liang, he still had to consult him for advice before he could decide. Calling Han Depei "Prime Minister of the Mountains" means that although he did not come forward, he was actually the general backstage of the "rightist" elements of Wuhan University. At that time, some cartoons posted on campus drew Han Depei in the center, and other "rightists" surrounded him like stars and moons.

However, Ding Hengxiu found that he had missed an excellent recording opportunity. At that time, the "anti-rightist" movement in various colleges and universities was led by the "anti-rightist" office of the university. When the "Anti-Rightist" Office discovers who is suitable to be a "Rightist," it organizes debates at different levels. The so-called "different levels" refers to the impact of the position, academic achievements, and words and deeds of the "rightists" who will become the object of the "rightists" on the school and even the whole society, generally by the department where they belong, and if there is a slight influence, two or more departments will hold a joint meeting. The debate held by the "Anti-Rightist" Office of Wuhan University against Han Depei could have been the best recording opportunity for Ding Hengxiu, but unfortunately, this meeting had already been held the day before. Moreover, because the debate at this meeting made the "anti-rightist" office a little embarrassed, they did not plan to play such a game with Han Depei anymore.

However, Ding Hengxiu found that there was no need to lament the loss, because there was still a chance to make up for it, and he saw the poster posted saying that a week-long struggle against Han Depei would be held from the next day.

Therefore, Ding Hengxiu decided to record a certain venue of the weekly struggle meeting and bring it to Hong Kong to hand over to Shi Yibin, which was a precious piece of information. Down, it's a matter of thinking about how to record. This matter is certainly not a problem today, because recording technology has been greatly improved, and what pocket recorders, voice recorders, recording buttons, wireless microphones and other equipment are emerging in an endless stream, and electronic stores in every city can buy it. But in 1957, even scientists didn't come up with these devices, and the smaller cassette recorder had to wait seven years. A tape recorder like Ding Hengxiu's hand, which can be compared with a small suitcase, is already an advanced equipment. Therefore, for Ding Hengxiu, how to complete the recording under the premise of ensuring safety requires a lot of brains. He went to the Wuda Auditorium to see, of course, it will not be a problem to enter the venue at that time, the criticism of the fight will not require any admission tickets, cats and dogs can enter and exit at will. However, if he took the tape recorder into the open recording, whether it was feasible or not, Ding Hengxiu felt that he did not have the guts. His three helpers, Peng Wenqian and Ding Wenying, were too tender, and Song Yide's accent was not good, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he would arouse the suspicion of the other party.

Back at the guest house where he was staying, Ding Hengxiu thought about it freely. Unaware that it was time for dinner at the guest house, when Ding Wenying came to his room and asked him to go to the restaurant, he saw that he looked very worried and asked what had happened. Ding Hengxiu said that I was entrusted by my friends to record a live report of the "anti-rightist" conference for them, and this matter could not be done publicly, otherwise people might not let me do it, and if I looked down, even you two sisters would have to eat and walk around, and I was thinking about what should be done to be safe. Ding Wenying had previously gone to Wuhan University with Ding Hengxiu, and he also went to the great hall to turn around, but he didn't know that Ding Hengxiu still had this plan. However, in her mind, this matter is not difficult to solve. So, Ding Wenying said her thoughts.

When Ding Wenying was in college, he was an active member of cultural and recreational activities, one of the members of the Publicity Department of the Student Union, and he often ran to the school auditorium to direct the layout of the venue, so he was more familiar with the architectural structure of the school auditorium. She told Ding Hengxiu that usually there is a basement under the podium of the school auditorium, where there are miscellaneous items such as curtains, tables and chairs that need to be repaired. Since they are not valuable, they are generally not locked. You might consider hiding the tape recorder in that basement and turning it on before the meeting, because the auditorium uses loudspeakers, so the basement should hear clearly. Wait until the meeting is over, and then quietly take out the tape recorder.

Ding Hengxiu was overjoyed and said, "Wenying, you helped me solve a big problem!" Active! Active! ”

Ding Wenying said, "I just don't know if the basement of the Wuda Auditorium is locked." ”

Ding Hengxiu said that it didn't matter if it was locked, I had a way to open it. As early as when Wang Pseudo"Seventy-Six" agents were headquartered, Ding Hengxiu learned the ability to unlock the locks from the agents there, and when he smuggled to the interior this time, he specially brought a set of special tools for unlocking the locks, believing that it was a matter of dealing with such locks.

Of course, we had to go to Wuhan University to see if there was a basement under the podium of the auditorium. Ding Hengxiu did not want to always appear on the campus of Wuhan University to impress others, so he assigned Peng Wenqian to do this. The next morning, Peng Wenqian went to Wuhan University, and returned at noon to call the guest house on Ding Hengxiu's side of the hotel, reporting that there was a basement under the rostrum, and it was not locked, and she went down to look at it, and there were messy debris piled up inside, and there were wires and sockets on the walls. Ding Hengxiu said that this is ok, the wire socket is not needed, my machine is made of dry batteries, and the twelve special large batteries can always be dealt with with with the light.

Okay, then get ready to act. Ding Hengxiu thought about it and decided to send Peng Wenqian to put the tape recorder in the basement early in the morning. A girl of her age and appearance does not have to be dressed like a female college student, and it will not be noticeable to appear on campus with a suitcase, and the same is true when she turns around and takes out the tape recorder.

The plan was well calculated, but it was not implemented in the end. Why? Because although Wuhan University's next struggle meeting against Han Depei was held for seven consecutive days, the venue was changed, and it was held in a small playground, and the time was every night. As soon as the notice was posted, Ding Hengxiu looked at his head and thought that there was no way to record on the small playground, was it a painstaking plan to do so?

That night, Ding Hengxiu considered for a long time, and finally decided that the recording should still be carried out, and if han Depei could not record it, he would record other objects. Anyway, no matter which "rightist" elements, it is better to have a recording than not to record it, and once you arrive in Hong Kong, it is a strange thing to live in.

Therefore, when I went to the campus of Wuhan University again, I actually had a surprise: The "Anti-Rightist" Office of Wuhan University posted a notice that the second debate meeting of Professor Cheng Qianfan, head of the "Rightist Marshal" Chinese Department, would be held in the auditorium two days later. Ding Hengxiu couldn't help but look overjoyed, thinking that this was really Heaven blessing me Ding Someone, and it was time for me to be able to do this well.

In this way, Ding Hengxiu began to make secret preparations, and he talked to Peng Wenqian and Ding Wenying about letting one of them go to the basement of the auditorium in advance to put on the tape recorder and turn on the tape recorder switch before the meeting, and asked them who was willing to do it. The twin sisters did not say a word, and seemed to be quite afraid. Ding Hengxiu then did ideological work, saying that the meeting would start at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the tape recorder could be placed in advance, just at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. At that time, I went to the auditorium to observe, and there must be no one inside, and outside, it was just a few hurried visitors. With your appearance, there is no problem in pretending to be a college student, and the college student carries a box and walks around the campus, and turns in through the auditorium to see, even if people see it, they will not suspect it. It's summer vacation, maybe I made an appointment with my classmates to go out on a trip together, and said that I would meet in the auditorium, I arrived first, and waited inside for a while, which is always normal, right? See if no one notices, just carry the box to the basement. Let's turn on the switch, the battery of this tape recorder is specially made in the United States, twelve large batteries can be used for six hours, after opening the tape will automatically cycle the recording, until the battery runs out before stopping. So, they meet at two o'clock, and you just sneak in at noon and turn on the switch. Take it? I estimate that this meeting will be held for three hours at most, and after the meeting, I will go to dinner, and there will be no one in the auditorium, so I will sneak over and take the tape recorder out. I'll be out there.

With that said, Peng Wenqian said that it was up to me to do it.

This matter, as Ding Hengxiu said, was actually completed easily. Ding Hengxiu got the audio tape to audition it, and was very happy, and then asked Song Yide and Ding Wenying to buy train tickets to Guangzhou. He was ready to go to Sun Yat-sen University to take some photos of the big character newspaper after arriving in Guangzhou, and then he left to sneak back to Hong Kong, and the errand was successfully completed.

Of course, Ding Hengxiu did not expect that this was the last few days of his life of free life...

Seventh, bad luck cannot be escaped

Turning back, let's talk about the investigation work of the task force. After the seven members of the special case team flew from Nanjing to Beijing, they immediately contacted the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, introduced the case, and asked their Beijing counterparts to give assistance. In accordance with the requirements of the special case group, the Beijing police immediately organized forces to inspect all large and small hotels, restaurants, and inns in the city, and at the same time, the municipal bureau came forward to lead the security departments of various colleges and universities to launch teachers and students to conduct inspections in the school, and the members of the special case team were also sent to Peking University and Tsinghua University for direct investigation.

However, after three days of tossing and turning like this, but there was no gain, Ding Hengxiu's four people were like evaporation in the human world, never showing their faces again!

The task force realized that the situation had changed significantly, didn't they come to Beijing? However, they obviously bought a train ticket to Beijing, and they left the hotel two hours before driving on the same day. But if they came to Beijing, why didn't all the hotels, restaurants, and inns have their whereabouts? Could it be that they have another residence in Beijing and have stayed at the home of a friend or family? This is also impossible, because according to the regulations of the Ministry of Public Security, at that time, all urban residents in the country had to declare a temporary household registration to the police station if they needed to stay in the homes of outsiders. The Beijing police have asked the police stations about this situation, and all the police stations have reported that no resident has declared the temporary hukou of such four people.

That's the only way to investigate with the railway department. According to the regulations of the railway department, after driving, the conductor should use the sleeper number plate to replace the passenger's ticket, and then change back before the passenger gets off the train, this action, the railway is called "ticket exchange". The advantage of this for the railway department is that it can know in time which passenger of the bunk has not been able to catch the train, so that the bunk can be vacated, and the shop can be sold on the train to the passenger who is also on the train but has not bought a sleeper, and an additional income. If Ding Hengxiu's four people had not boarded this train to Beijing that day, the train would definitely have been recorded. So, just investigate with the conductor of the train.

Therefore, the special case team conducted an investigation through the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Railways. The railway's communication was very convenient, and soon the task force got an echo: the train did have four consecutive hard sleepers from Nanjing to Beijing that were not taken.

The task force continued to meet to analyze the facts of the case: Why did they buy a ticket and then temporarily abandon the trip? Was it a premeditated and deliberate trick to divert the reconnaissance's attention, or did something unexpected happen and decide to change the itinerary? The investigators spoke enthusiastically and freely talked about their views. However, no one expected that Ding Wenying had a nightmare that led to a page call to Shanghai, so after a long discussion, it was impossible to determine what was going on. Zhang Zhichuan, the leader of the task force who presided over the meeting, realized that it was difficult to draw conclusions after such a discussion, so the wiser thing to do was to give up efforts in this regard, and if this mountain could not be climbed, it would go around and try another way after going around.

Therefore, everyone will change the topic to discuss: Where will Ding Hengxiu and others go if they give up their trip to Beijing? This, first of all, we must analyze the purpose of Ding Hengxiu's infiltration into the interior this time. Judging from the indications that he was frequently active in Fudan University, Jiaotong University, and Nanjing University in Shanghai and Nanjing, his purpose was obviously to gather information on the "anti-rightist" movement, and it was estimated that the same was true of his original intention to go to Beijing. Therefore, no matter what reason they canceled their trip to Beijing, their mission and purpose should not change, and the next stop after they leave Nanjing may be one or more famous universities in the northeast, northwest, southwest, and central and southern regions, and will only leave the interior and flee abroad after completing their scheduled mission.

A map of the whole country was hung on the wall, and the investigators pointed around the map to one provincial capital city after another for analysis: in addition to Beijing, there were Tianjin, Xi'an, Lanzhou, Shenyang, Changchun, Harbin, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Guangzhou and other places, these cities have famous universities, may be their targets, as to which cities, or all the cities have run, it is impossible to judge.

In this way, the question arises: the task force cannot blindly run to these cities one by one, so what should be done?

Deputy group leader Chao Jie is an old public security officer with rich experience in investigation, and after some careful consideration, he put forward a point of view: At present, there are four people involved in this case, regardless of whether the twin sisters and another Cantonese-speaking Lao Guang (at that time, the special case team did not know that this person's name was Song Yide, who came from Hong Kong, so it was speculated that it was also possible that Ding Hengxiu was a temporary recruited helper in Guangzhou) would sneak across the country and flee, and Ding Hengxiu himself came from abroad, so he was going to return after completing his mission. Judging from some cases involving the dispatch of agents from abroad that have been undertaken before, there is a rule in the entry and exit of such agents, whether they are smuggled in or after normal customs clearance after a pseudonym: from where they enter, they will leave from where they leave. Judging from the confession of Ding Peizhu, the person involved in the arrest, Ding Hengxiu should have smuggled in from Guangdong Province, so he will also smuggle out of Guangdong Province after completing his mission. In this way, Ding Hengxiu will settle down in Guangzhou. We can't determine exactly which city Ding Hengxiu will be active in, but if we can judge that he will eventually appear in Guangzhou, then act according to this judgment: waiting for him in Guangzhou, there is a picture of this person, as long as he stays, he is afraid that he will not be found?

Zhang Zhichuan, the head of the special case team, said that this plan has the nature of a desperate bet, but it seems that this is the only way to do it, in case of mistakes, then it is up to me to bear this responsibility. I then made a long-distance phone call to report to the leaders for approval, and if approved, we would go to Guangzhou to carry out investigations.

In addition to going to Guangzhou to guard the ambush, Zhang Zhichuan's plan reported to the leaders also contained another content: To issue an emergency investigation circular to the public security bureaus of the above-mentioned major cities, asking the municipal public security bureaus to pay more attention to the tourists in hotels, restaurants, and hotel accommodation, and to inform the major colleges and universities to pay close attention to the situation of outsiders, and once they find objects with the characteristics of Ding Hengxiu and other four people, they will immediately control them.

The plan was quickly endorsed by the leadership, and two hours later, the task force received a phone call informing them that the plan had been approved and could be implemented immediately. Therefore, the special case team took a train south to Guangzhou.

After arriving in Guangzhou, a cadre of the special case team immediately got in touch with the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. The Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau has designated three police officers to form a coordination team to provide manpower and material support according to the needs of the task force. The task force and the Guangdong coordination group gathered together to study the facts of the case and decided to take the following three measures:

First, organize forces to go to the Guangzhou Railway Station for twenty-four hours of uninterrupted squatting, and send each squatter a text explanation material with photos of Ding Hengxiu, Peng Wenqian, Ding Wenying, and others and individual characteristics; second, send the above materials to all hotels, restaurants, and inns in the city, and report to the police as soon as the target is found; third, send the above materials to all colleges and universities in Guangzhou, and ask the security departments of each university to take the lead in organizing an inspection team composed of politically reliable teachers and students to conduct inspections on campus. Pay close attention to the presence of suspicious targets.

On the fifth day after the above measures were implemented, Ding Hengxiu and his party of four arrived in Guangzhou by train from Wuhan. However, the people crouching at the station were unable to spot them. This is because when the train arrived at Guangzhou Station, it was late at night, and the four of them were mixed up in the passengers to leave the station, and at that time, because of the delay, there were three trains arriving at the station at the same time, and the congestion when leaving the station could be imagined, in this case, it was understandable that no target was found.

However, what people did not expect was that the task force failed to find the target, but Ding Hengxiu already felt that the situation was not good. Because when he mixed in the crowd and left the station, he obviously felt that there were several more ticket inspectors at the ticket gate, and some of them were wearing railway staff uniforms but did not participate in the ticket inspection, so he suspected that this was specially designed to deal with a few of them. In view of this, Ding Hengxiu decided to abandon the scheduled trip to Sun Yat-sen University and leave Guangdong and return to Hong Kong as quickly as possible.

However, as long as the four Ding Hengxiu who had already handed over their bad luck arrived in Guangzhou, they were doomed to be unable to escape. According to the advance arrangement, when Ding Hengxiu returned to Hong Kong, he was still responsible for the channel that received him when he smuggled in, and due to the uncertainty of time, Ding Hengxiu could not inform the other party of the exact time of the pick-up. Moreover, out of caution, the other party did not disclose the address to Ding Hengxiu, which Ding Hengxiu also understood. The contact information agreed by the two sides is: when Ding Hengxiu needs to, he can carve an English letter J on the big banyan tree in front of the folding arrow lane in Fujian Street, Haizhu District, and go to the mouth of the folding arrow lane twenty-four hours later to meet the other party.

Therefore, ding Hengxiu's four people in Guangzhou must stay more than twenty-four hours. During this time, they must stay in a hotel, restaurant or hotel. Out of caution, Ding Hengxiu decided that the four of them would stay in four hotels separately with fake pre-prepared introduction letters. The matter of leaving a signal in the folding arrow lane was left to Song Yide to do. This old Guang arrived in Yangcheng at this moment, and the Cantonese language was the best talisman, and for a medallioner with extraordinary skills like him, it was easy to carve an English letter on the tree.

That J was engraved, but it was not Song Yide who carved it, but the investigators carved it, because when Ding Hengxiu and the four of them stayed in the hotel that night, they stared at the service desk, immediately called the police, and then they were arrested. Immediate interrogation, a confession about the letters engraved in Folding Arrow Lane was obtained. So the special case team sent someone to replace Song Yide on this errand, and twenty-four hours later, the friend that Ding Hengxiu knew was also handcuffed.

After Ding Hengxiu's four arrests, he confessed to their respective crimes.

More than three months later, five of the criminals in this case, including Ding Peizhu, were punished by law: Ding Hengxiu was sentenced to death and immediately executed; Song Yide was sentenced to 20 years and escorted to Qinghai Laogai; Peng Wenqian and Ding Wenying were sentenced to five years each and escorted to Anhui and Jiangsu Laogai; and Ding Peizhu was sentenced to three years to serve a sentence at Tilanqiao Prison in Shanghai.

The smuggling gang was dealt with by the Guangzhou side and sentenced to prison terms.
