During the Spring Festival in 1969, the Taiyuan Railway Station was full of passengers carrying large bags and small bags, and the station was noisy and crowded. Among the many travelers, there were two able-bodied men, looking around from time to time, in stark contrast to these anxious passengers.
The two men were staff members of the 703 Research Institute of the Taiyuan Secrecy Unit, qin jiakang and Yang Xiaochen. And when they came to the Taiyuan Railway Station this time, they did not go home to visit their relatives, but escorted an important instrument to Beijing, and this important instrument was a component of the hydrogen bomb developed by the mainland, the automatic instrument.
Generally speaking, such important machinery and equipment are specially escorted by special vehicles and armed police personnel. However, small equipment such as automatic instruments do not have to go to great lengths, and can be escorted as simply as possible by confidential personnel. But even so, Qin Jiakang also chose a subordinate he trusted very much, Yang Xiaochen, who had received professional training.
With the escort of Yang Xiaochen and Qin Jiakang, this mission is not difficult to complete. But the two were still very vigilant, because they knew that the small object in the black backpack was related to the process of the mainland's hydrogen bomb research, and if it was lost, the two might stay in prison for the rest of their lives.
At this time, there were still minutes to go before the Taiyuan-Beijing train, and Qin Jiakang took one last puff of his cigarette before getting on the train, and then stepped on the green-skinned train with Yang Xiaochen. The train was full of passengers returning from visiting relatives, which was very noisy, and the carriage was also chaotic. Qin Jiakang glanced at the carriage, found an empty luggage rack at the front of the carriage, and placed the black backpack on it. At the same time, for the sake of safety, Qin Jiakang used a metal chain to tie the black backpack to the luggage rack.
Qin Jiakang made his seat back, while Yang Xiaochen sat across from him, his eyes not daring to leave the black backpack for a moment. The passengers in the carriages are now seated and the train has started. Passengers who had been running for a long time began to relax on the train, and from time to time someone took out a variety of chicken leg noodles and began to nibble on them, and these aromas also caused Qin Jiakang to drool.
The two set off from the Secret Service early in the morning, waiting at the train station without delay, at this time it was already half a day, the time was noon, and the two had not eaten a mouthful of food since the morning. From time to time in the train, there are conductors pushing the trolley by, and the conductor shouts while opening a small opening of the freshly made roast chicken on the cart, and the fragrance fills the entire carriage for a while.
When the cart was far away, Qin Jiakang decided that even if he wanted to complete the task, he could not go all the way to Beijing hungry. He asked Yang Xiaochen to go to the front carriage to find the conductor to buy roast chicken, and then brought back two bottles of wine. Although Yang Xiaochen felt that it was not appropriate to buy wine by this talk, since it was the leader's instruction, he was not good enough to refuse, so he got up and walked to the front carriage.
Soon Yang Xiaochen returned with a fragrant roast chicken and two bottles of liquor. Qin Jiakang looked at Yang Xiaochen and smiled, and told him not to be hungry, let's eat something together, and Yang Xiaochen also nodded, and the two began to taste delicious roast chicken. After half a roast chicken belly, Qin Jiakang wanted to take two sips of liquor, and it was more comfortable to eat roast chicken with liquor. But he suddenly realized that he still had a task, and if he broke the task because of this glass of liquor, it would be more than worth the loss.
After the two finished eating the roast chicken, the time had reached more than eight o'clock in the evening, and it was less than an hour before the train arrived at the station. At this time, there was a sense of tiredness in the carriage, all the passengers were drowsy, the dim lights accompanied the shaking of the train, and Qin Jiakang and Yang Xiaochen also began to have some tiredness. At this time, Qin Jiakang patted Yang Xiaochen's shoulder and told him that he would arrive at the station in half an hour, and he was refreshed. This time, the two of you talk to each other word by word to avoid the invasion of sleepiness.
Soon after, the train finally arrived at the station, Qin Jiakang also exhaled with relief, this tense journey was finally coming to an end, and there were no accidents along the way, which reassured him a lot. Through the crowd, Qin Jiakang walked to the black backpack, and when he took out the key to unlock the lock, he accidentally found that the chain of the bolt bag was loose and crumbling.
Qin Jiakang's mind flashed a bad thought, he hurriedly opened the backpack, only to see that the instruments in the backpack had long disappeared, replaced by two clumps of newspapers of similar size. Qin Jiakang only felt a dizziness, cold sweat on his back, and then shouted loudly to Yang Xiaochen, quickly blocking people at the ticket gate.
At this time, Yang Xiaochen was in contact with the station staff, and Qin Jiakang quickly called the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, where the instruments were transported, to make a phone call, and when the National Defense Science and Technology Commission knew that the matter was very important, it immediately contacted the premier's office.
In a villa in Beijing, Xie Fuzhi, then minister of public security, soaked in his large bathtub, and the mist filled his neck. Xie Fuzhi twisted his neck, enjoying the long-lost relaxation. At this moment, the telephone in the bedroom suddenly rang in a hurry, and Xie Fuzhi slowly crawled out of the bathtub, wiping his body while answering the phone.
When the surface of the phone was the prime minister's office, Xie Fuzhi hurriedly straightened his body, and when he heard the phone call, Xie Fuzhi's heart was also extremely anxious. Long before the call from the prime minister's office, Xie Fuzhi already knew about the loss of the hydrogen bomb research equipment, but he did not pay attention to it at all, and still enjoyed life in the villa.
Soon in the Prime Minister's office, he received a black document bag containing details about the loss of the instrument, and the Prime Minister gave him an ultimatum to ask him if the case of the loss of the instrument could not be solved within ten days.
Xie Fuzhi knew that the matter was very important, and if he didn't get it right, he would be late, and even the black gauze hat on his head might be lost. Xie Fuzhi immediately called his subordinates, asking the entry and exit departments to strengthen their vigilance, and all correspondence was suspended to prevent the instruments from being sent abroad. On the other hand, Xie Fuzhi summoned the top brass of the Ministry of Public Security and immediately convened a meeting to discuss a solution to the loss of the instrument.
At that time, all the people attending the meeting were the top leaders of the public security departments in various localities, including the directors of the public security bureaus in Shanxi, Hebei, and Beijing, the directors of the public security bureaus of the Ministry of Railways, and Huang Bihua, Xie Fuzhi's subordinates.
Huang Bihua has worked under Xie Fuzhi for many years and has made great achievements in countless large and small cases. Therefore, in the face of such a tricky case, Xie Fuzhi became a special case team and appointed Huang Bihua as the head of the special case team. Huang Bihua quickly printed out the relevant information of the case and distributed a copy to everyone who attended the meeting.
Huang Bihua explained to everyone that the hydrogen bomb automatic instrument lost on the train from Taiyuan to Beijing is a key component of the research and development of the hydrogen bomb, and once lost, it will cause immeasurable losses to the mainland's hydrogen bomb research and development industry. The Prime Minister also knew about the matter and gave them only ten days to solve the case, and if the matter could not be resolved within ten days, all of them would be held accountable severely.
At the meeting, the people analyzed the case, and most people believed that due to the particularity of the lost objects, the criminal was most likely to be a spy, and at that time, the identity of the agent was nothing more than the following possible hit. The first is the agents sent by the Taiwan side, who have previously captured many agents sent by Taiwan in the mainland, and their tasks are all to obstruct the development of the mainland's scientific research through various means and deal a blow to the development of new China. On the other hand, there were agents sent by the Soviet Union, and since the relations between the mainland and the Soviet side had broken down at that time, the Soviet Union also withdrew the relevant experts. In order to strike a blow to the international status of New China, it is not excluded that the Soviet Union will send relevant agents to interfere with China's scientific research process.
Liu Hualin, then director of the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Railways, gave a different point of view, based on his years of research on the crime of the main railway line, he felt that this theft may be just an ordinary theft, and the criminals may not know what the objects in the backpack are.
At a time when there were many opinions among the participants, Gao Yangming, then director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, began to personally interrogate Qin Jiakang and Yang Xiaochen, who had committed major crimes. Under constant interrogation, Qin Jiakang began to recall the bits and pieces that happened on the train. After many reminiscences, a detail finally caught his attention.
Qin Jiakang said that when he first got on the train, a man put a black backpack next to him, but because there were more passengers on the train, everyone's luggage was similar, and he did not pay attention. The man had dark yellow hair and spoke softly.
According to this clue provided by Qin Jiakang, the public security department began to arrest suspects who had relevant characteristics and had taken the train. After much searching, the public security department locked down a man named Sima Yuan, whose signature had been registered in traditional Chinese, and soon the police arrested him at the hotel where Sima Yuan lived.
However, in the process of transporting Sima Yuan back to the police station, there was an accident, and when the police climbed out of the car at the scene of the accident, they found that Sima Yuan had disappeared. They searched extensively around, but nothing was found. Later, under the plan of the public security organs, all the police officers hid nearby, causing traces that they had left the scene of the accident.
Soon after, the police finally arrested Sima Yuan in a small hotel nearby, and when the police asked him where the parts of the hydrogen bomb had been left, he said he did not know at all. At this time, the police discovered the true identity of Sima Yuan, a spy from Taiwan, which had nothing to do with the loss of hydrogen bomb parts, but had also carried out intelligence theft work in the mainland many times. Under Sima Yuan's confession, the police arrested a number of Agents from the Taiwanese side. But the case about the loss of parts of the hydrogen bomb has lost its clues.
At this time, Huang Bihua was very anxious in his heart, and the task given to him by Xie Fuzhi now had no clue at all, and the prime minister only gave them ten days, and he saw that the deadline was almost up. At this time, a phone call brought hope to Huang Bihua, and it turned out that his subordinates recommended a person to Huang Bihua. This person is small in stature, but he has a lot of experience in handling cases, and has previously cracked many extremely difficult cases such as the Theft of the Forbidden City and the Lugou Bridge Corpse Case, so let him join the special case team, maybe it can help the progress of the case a lot.
Soon the case expert named Guo Yingfeng joined the task force, and the first thing he did after his arrival was to start with the black backpack that the thief had changed. After carefully looking through and inspecting the black backpack, Guo Yingfeng did not find a red light brand of skin care products in the backpack.
With this clue, Guo Yingfeng concluded that the thief was likely to be a woman, and this brand of skin care products was not a tall brand, but for rural women at that time, the price was not low. Therefore, Guo Yingfeng narrowed the search scope of the female thief from urban and rural areas to townships, and launched a large-scale search and arrest in local townships and towns, locking all suspects who meet the characteristics of the crime, and closely tracking and observing.
Along the Taiyuan railway line, the task force mobilized the files of suspects who had recently echoed the characteristics of the crime, including four female suspects in prison, while a woman nicknamed Butterfly was still wandering outside.
The special case team locked the butterfly's hiding place in a hotel in Yangquan, and when they were about to prepare for the arrest operation, Guo Yingfeng stopped them. Guo Yingfeng said that catching the suspect was not their ultimate goal, but more importantly, to find out the whereabouts of the hydrogen bomb parts. So Guo Yingfeng thought of a play to force the butterfly to say the whereabouts of the hydrogen bomb parts himself.
A few days later, Guo Yingfeng appeared in the restaurant next to the Butterfly Hotel, and Butterfly was eating lunch in the restaurant. Guo Yingfeng pretended to be a factory buyer, and began to talk with a few young men sitting next to him, drinking wine and eating small dishes, so unhappy.
At this time a countryman came to the restaurant, and when he finished ordering, he opened his wallet from his hand, but this time it attracted the attention of the butterfly, and the countryman's wallet was full of hundreds of dollar bills and stuffed bulging bags. After about ten minutes, Guo Yingfeng borrowed a fire from the countryman, and within a few seconds, he took the countryman's wallet away.
And all this is seen by the butterfly, the same as the thief, the butterfly is admired by the five bodies thrown to the ground. After eating, Butterfly followed Guo Yingfeng to the hotel, wanting Guo Yingfeng to teach her a few hands. Guo Yingfeng asked her if she had stolen a black backpack a few days ago, and the butterfly said without thinking about it, she thought she could make a profit, but there was only a piece of scrap iron in it, which was directly thrown into the flower bed outside the hotel.
As soon as the words fell, the public security personnel outside the door immediately went forward to arrest the female thief named Butterfly, and then the special case team also found the missing hydrogen bomb parts in the flower bed outside the door, and successfully cracked the case. It is precisely because of Guo Yingfeng's ingenuity and meticulousness that he found this missing part and successfully completed the research and development of the hydrogen bomb on the mainland. The butterflies who stole the parts of the hydrogen bomb, as well as Qin Jiakang and Yang Xiaochen, who made major mistakes in the escort mission, were eventually severely punished by the law.
