Chen Tanqiu's killer, hiding in a cigarette stand in Beijing, was recognized by the smoke buyers and fell into the net

On this day in August 1950, Xinjiang man Timur had a great time in Beijing. The capital of New China is full of thriving scenes, which makes Timur feel extremely happy.

However, this good mood was destroyed by a small thing that could not be smaller in the evening. At that time, he returned to the hotel after a day of fun. Reaching out, only an empty box remained of the cigarette.

So he walked to a small cigarette stand at the mouth of the alley. In the 1950s, in the hutong mouth of Beijing, there were such vendors with small tobacco stalls, which was very convenient.

He walked over to buy cigarettes, and the vendor gave him a pack of cigarettes, which was crumpled and uncomfortable, and he asked him to change it. This is really a normal thing, but the man who sold cigarettes, with a unhappy face, although he was replaced, but his mouth was muttering, which washed away his good mood.

Timur couldn't help but look at the smoker one more time, and this look made him giggle in his heart: This face is so familiar, but for a moment he can't remember where he has seen it.

When he was about to return to the hotel, his mind suddenly flashed: Isn't this the director Li who slapped himself in prison?

He hurriedly turned and walked back, trying to check again, who knew that when he reached the mouth of the alley, the cigarette seller was gone. The next day, he went again, and the man still didn't show up.

After returning to Dihua, Timur reported the incident to the police.

And this information, for Liu Huping, the head of Dihua public security, is simply sending charcoal in the snow, which is really too timely. He was agonizing over not being able to find this Director Li, and now, all of a sudden, there was news.

Who is this Director Lee? Why did Liu Huping look for him?

Because Liu Huping is investigating a major case of killing a senior leader before liberation, and this Director Li is the main culprit.

Earlier, they had already captured a murderer, Zhang Sixin, and under a powerful policy offensive, he confessed that the main culprit who killed Chen Tanqiu, a veteran figure of our party, was Li Yingqi. At that time, he was the director of the Kuomintang Xinjiang Public Security Administration, which was actually a killing tool for Wang Shengshicai in Xinjiang.

However, Zhang Sixin did not know where Li Yingqi was now, but only heard that after Sheng Shicai was transferred to Chongqing by the old Jiang in 1946, Li Yingqi ran to Lanzhou and bought a car to do business. Later, he felt that driving a car business was easy to expose, and it was said that he went to Beijing, where in Beijing, and what kind of work he did, he did not know.

Now, such an important message is too timely and too important.

Liu Huping finally breathed a sigh of relief, he received the order to investigate this major case, it has been more than a year. In August 1949, the Northwest Field Army annihilated 50,000 "double horses" in one fell swoop, lianke wuwei, Zhangye, jiuquan, and prepared to march into Xinjiang. However, Liu Huping, as the director of the political department of the Second Corps of the Field Army, received a brand new task, serving as the director of the Social Department of the Xinjiang Branch of the CPC Central Committee, to investigate the murder of Chen Tanqiu and find the bones of the martyr.

Since that day, he has not relaxed a day, this case is not easy, Chen Tanqiu was killed 6 years after the beginning of the investigation, the difficulty can be imagined. Moreover, when Chen Tanqiu was killed, our party did not know about it. Because he was engaged in the special task of striving for sheng shicai, everyone thought that he had been working for the party.

At the Seventh Party Congress held in June 1945, Chen Tanqiu was elected a member of the Central Committee in his absence. By that time, he had been killed for nearly three years.

Chen Tanqiu is in the party, that is a wonderful existence, he is a major representative of the CCP. He and Dong Biwu, on behalf of the Wuhan Communist Group, participated in a major conference. Of the large 13 delegates, he was the youngest and the only one to personally participate in the battle and was wounded in the battle.

He served as secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee of the Soviet Union, minister of grain of the central government, and during the Long March of the Red Army, he stayed in the Soviet region to persist in the struggle and served as the director of the organization department of the central sub-bureau of the Soviet Union. Later, he went to the Soviet Union to attend the Seventh Congress of the Communist International and stayed in Moscow for a while.

In May 1939, he was ordered to return to China and went to Xinjiang to carry out the united front work of winning sheng shicai, serving as the representative of the central government in Xinjiang and the head of the eighth route army office in Xinjiang.

Wang Shengshi of Xinjiang was a guy with a milk and a wife, he was originally a close confidant of Guo Songling of the Northeast Army, Guo Songling failed against Zhang Zuolin, and Sheng Shicai defected to the Northern Expeditionary Army. But he was soon disappointed with the nepotism of the old Jiang Renren, so he turned to Wang Jinshuren of Xinjiang.

This guy still has a hand in fighting, has courage and strategy, so he won the trust of Jin Shuren and quickly mastered the military power. The Northeast Volunteer Army entered Xinjiang and poured gold together with the naturalized army, and Sheng Shicai seized the opportunity to lead his troops back to Shidihua and replaced Jin Shuren.

Xinjiang has a special geographical location, bordering the Soviet Union, which can be described as a distant emperor, and Sheng Shicai did not want to be restrained by the old Chiang Kai-shek, so he took the Soviet Union as a backer. Therefore, at that time, he still belonged to the progressives, the United Russian Communist Party, and belonged to the united front object that could be won.

At that time, the Purpose of the Red Army's Western Route Army's Western Expedition was to open up a passage with the Soviet Union, but it failed to do so, and there were only more than 400 people left with 20,000 people and horses.

However, Chen Tanqiu, who works in Xinjiang, has long said that Sheng Shi is a person who can turn his face faster than he can turn a book, so he must remain vigilant against him. At that time, the central authorities also left Mao Zemin, who had originally gone to the Soviet Union for medical treatment, in Xinjiang and served as the director of Sheng Shicai's Finance Department to help Sheng Shicai rectify and develop the economy.

It can be seen that at that time, our party regarded Sheng Shicai as "its own person." Because of this layer of relationship, Sheng Shicai received a lot of assistance from the Soviet government, so he was anti-Chiang Kai-shek at that time.

However, the situation soon changed greatly, the Soviet-German war broke out, the Soviet Union began to retreat, and the Red Army in the Far East of the Soviet Union was transferred back to participate in the defense of Stalingrad. Soviet aid to Xinjiang also stopped.

Sheng Shicai, who had a milk, felt that the Soviet Union was bound to lose, and at this time, hu zongnan, the old Chiang's concubine troops, had already entered Longxi and controlled the Hexi Corridor. A posture that will enter Xinjiang at any time.

Before the Soviet-German war, Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to do this, but now, the Soviet Union can no longer take care of Xinjiang. In this case, Sheng Shicai immediately turned around and threw himself into the arms of Old Jiang.

At the beginning of 1942, Chen Tanqiu had insight into the heart of Sheng Shicai, so he proposed to the central government to withdraw cadres in Xinjiang, and the central government agreed. But he himself, insisted on being the last evacuees. Unfortunately, on September 17 of that year, Sheng Shicai ordered the arrest of Chen Tanqiu, along with Mao Zemin, Lin Jilu and other leaders who had not evacuated.

After Chen Tanqiu and the others were arrested, the enemy first lured them with high-ranking officials Houlu, and after being severely rejected, they tortured them to the fullest, but they could not help these iron-boned heroes at all.

On March 27, 1943, Sheng Shicai ordered the killing of Chen Tanqiu, Mao Zemin and others. The executor is Li Yingqi, because he is a tool for killing people in Sheng Shicai.

After Li Yingqi received Sheng Shicai's order, he handed the order to Zhang Sixin, the law enforcement captain. Chen Tanqiu, Mao Zemin and others bravely died in prison.

Speaking of sheng shicai's brutality, even the executioners of this class were shocked. Because Chen Tanqiu and others were killed, there was even Sheng Shicai's sister-in-law Chen Xiuying and the tutor Qiu Yusong, the purpose of which was to make the so-called "conspiracy riot" real and credible.

This "conspiracy riot" was carefully designed by Sheng Shicai, who slandered Chen Tanqiu and others for colluding with his sister-in-law and tutor to prepare for the riot inside and outside, so he arrested them.

Sheng Shicai, of course, made such a move, mainly to test the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union reacted, he might continue to cooperate with the Soviet Union and release Chen Tanqiu and others. But at that time, the Soviet Union did not move at all, and Sheng Shicai finally chose old Chiang Kai-shek.

After receiving Theimoer's important information, Liu Huping immediately reported to the Ministry of Public Security and dispatched elite forces to arrest Li Yingqi with the cooperation of the Beijing public security.

However, Li Yingqi has not appeared since the time with Timur.

That day, Li Yingqi saw something different from Timur's expression and eyes, and he quickly recognized himself as a Xinjiang man. Xinjiang, which is a place where they have committed many evils, have borne too many blood debts.

Mao Zemin

Therefore, as soon as Timur left, he hurried back home, and the next day, he ran to Nanjing to hide. This guy, the vigilance is really high.

However, the monk could not run the temple, and the public security personnel, starting from his home, lured the snake out of the hole. Therefore, two public security officers were dispatched to register their household registrations. After learning that the man was out, he informed his family that he must register on time, and when it expired, he would not be registered.

At that time, it was the beginning of the founding of New China, and Beijing was fully registering household registration. If there is no hukou, it will be very troublesome, especially for people like Li Yingqi, it is easier to expose.

Therefore, when he received the letter from home, he repeatedly considered it for three days and three nights, and finally decided that he was not exposed. This should be a normal household registration.

With such a fluke mentality, he returned to Beijing and took the initiative to register his household registration at the police station. Next, it's time to catch the turtle in the urn.

Li Yingqi was quickly escorted to Dihua and walked into the interrogation room, where Liu Huping said contemptuously: "Director Li, we have met again, can't you imagine?" ”

When seeing Liu Huping, Li Yingqi's defense line collapsed completely, because at that time, Liu Huping was locked up in Xinjiang prison for two years, and they were old acquaintances.

This is also one of the reasons why Liu Huping was organizationally put in charge of investigating this major case.

In December 1950, the killers of Chen Tanqiu, Mao Zemin and other leaders were sentenced to death and executed by firing squad.
