On March 20, 1961, on Monday, the Shenyang 615 Factory, which was supposed to start normally, suddenly suspended operations, and employees fell into panic.
Because just the day before, the factory was suddenly robbed, and the 800 taels of gold that were originally placed in the wooden box in the workshop were actually missing!
As soon as the news came out, it not only alarmed the entire Liaoning Province, but also shocked the central authorities, and Premier Zhou was even more furious when he learned of it.
The usefulness of this gold is very important, it is collected from the people, mainly used to pay off the debts of the Soviet Union and obtain the food that the people urgently need, I did not expect that someone dared to move.
Premier Zhou immediately summoned cadres at all levels and issued solemn instructions: "Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find the lost gold!" ”
As soon as the order was given, the various departments launched an intensive search operation.
However, because of the restrictions at that time, the thieves were never caught, until 19 years later, a middle-aged woman suddenly appeared, and finally let all the truth come out!
So who stole the 800 taels of gold in the first place? What is the identity of this middle-aged woman? The end result?
Factory gold is stolen, and the identity of the thief is a mystery
In the early 1960s, when relations between the mainland and the Soviet Union were tense, and more seriously, because of the impact of large-scale natural disasters, the mainland had begun to experience a food shortage crisis, and the affected people were suffering.
Considering these complicated situations, the state gave the Shenyang 615 factory a major task, that is, to smelt the gold and silver collected from the people, pay off the debts owed to the Soviet Union as soon as possible, and let the domestic people return to normal, and the people also have grain to eat.
After receiving the order, the Shenyang 615 factory immediately began to implement it, because this plan was completely confidential to the outside world, so the staff in the factory usually called gold "No. 100" and silver "No. 200".
In the context of that time, the management of the factory was relatively loose, and there was no high-tech and strict management, so silver dollars, silver jewelry, and gold were basically stacked on the ground, or were arbitrarily placed in the temporary warehouse of the workshop.
Although relying on the workers' self-consciousness, these gold and silver seem to be safe for the time being, but they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, after a long time, it is inevitable that they will be targeted by people with hearts.
Sure enough, soon, the Shenyang 615 factory suffered a major "theft case"!
On March 18, 1961, Guo Jiahui, who was the leader of the gold and silver product packaging team at the time, had just finished the work at hand and went to the construction site of the packaging team to take stock of the products placed in the warehouse.
In the process of counting, Guo Jiahui found that due to the increase in the number of products, other gold and silver products are basically scattered.
When he walked to the front of a pile of wooden boxes, he suddenly remembered that it contained gold, one of the wooden boxes contained 4 pieces, two of which were left over from the previous year, and because they could not be matched into boxes, they had been kept in their own hands, and now they could finally leave the factory.
After confirming that there was no mistake or omission, Guo Jiahui directly turned off the lights and locked the door and left, ready to go home for the rare weekend.
On March 20, Guo Jiahui came to work in the factory as usual, and just as he was about to get up to deal with the debris, the office door was suddenly pushed open with a "bang", and a young worker burst in with a furious fire, telling him a bad news: "No. 100 was stolen!" ”
Guo Jiahui did not react for a moment and blurted out: "What?! ”
After reconfirming that the gold had been lost, Guo Jiahui quickly rushed to the scene and could see that the lid of one of the wooden boxes had been lifted nearly three inches, the paper and rice husks were scattered on the ground, and the two pieces of gold were gone.
Guo Jiahui's mind was blank, who did this? Just as he was guessing for various reasons, he turned his head and found that there was a big hole in the wall between the planks, which was deliberately committed by someone, and the thieves had come in from here!
Guo Jiahui immediately reported the matter to the factory director, and soon, the theft of gold from the Shenyang 615 factory was spread out, and a stone stirred up thousands of waves, which not only the entire Liaoning Province, but also the central government was alarmed, and Premier Zhou, who was handling official business in the West Flower Hall, was even more angry when he learned about it.
At such a special moment, it is extremely rampant for some people to dare to covet the property of the country and the people!
Premier Zhou immediately summoned the cadres at the top of the central government and formally issued an instruction: "Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find the lost gold!" ”
Departments at all levels who received the order immediately gathered at the Shenyang 615 factory and launched an investigation.
The theft of gold became a suspense case, and the thief was "invisible" for nineteen years
The special case team first conducted a careful investigation at the scene, and finally found that the thieves had left many cloth shoe prints and a sheep horn hammer after committing the crime.
Combined with other clues, they identified the suspect's target as "internal theft", that is, the thief may be the staff of the 615 factory.
After hearing this, a person in charge of the public security bureau decided to investigate one by one, after all, there were only less than a thousand people in the factory, and a hundred people could be checked a day, and it could be completed in a week.
After that, they sent public security personnel to start investigating one by one, and all those who had cloth shoes and croissant hammers at home had to be handed in, and those who found suspicious people could also be reported.
In this process, the first person to be suspected is Guo Jiahui, after all, his job is to take care of the gold, and now that the gold is lost, it is very likely that he will guard and steal.
Guo Jiahui did not agree with this, no thief would be so stupid, stealing gold and daring to come to work with a big swing, and immediately report it to his superiors?
After him, jia qingji, an old worker, Li Chunsheng, a foreign worker, and Li Yu, the director of the 615 factory, were all regarded as suspects, and the results were without exception, and there was no definite evidence.
Although the process of solving the case seemed to be vast, in the end it could not reach an exact result, but it made everyone afraid and afraid of getting involved with it.
In fact, under the conditions at that time, if there was no advanced reconnaissance means, it was really difficult to quickly find the whereabouts of the thieves.
The sea of people is vast, where the thieves will hide, no one knows, this "extraordinarily large gold theft case" that occurred after the founding of the People's Republic of China has become a suspense case!
But there is an old saying that Skynet is restored without leakage, and although the truth will be late, it will not be absent! Just when many people are on the verge of forgetting about this matter, nineteen years later, the police finally have a major breakthrough.
In 1980, the country had entered a new era of reform and opening up, and at the same time increased the purchase price of gold and silver, so many people who collected gold at home were ready to take them to the bank for money.
At that time, a middle-aged woman named Huang Shuzhen also began to be moved after understanding the value of gold.
At nine o'clock on April 15, she wrapped three pounds of gold around her waist, covered it with clothes, and rushed to the business department of Zhonghua Road of the Shenyang branch of Chinese Bank.
The staff kindly asked Huang Shuzhen what business she wanted to do, but saw her eyes glancing back and forth, her face full of defense, and then quietly took out a piece of gold from her waist.
The staff took it and inspected it, and found that the weight of this piece of gold was nearly 300 taels, the purity was very high, very similar to industrial gold, if you want to exchange money, it can be about 20,000.
Because such gold is really rare, so the staff left a little eye, she felt that the middle-aged woman in front of her looked very ordinary, not like she could have industrial gold, was it...
Just in case, the staff decided to stabilize Huang Shuzhen first, suggested that she deposit the money in exchange for the bank, and then reported the matter to the public security organs.
At this time, Huang Shuzhen had not yet found anything wrong, she used 6 names to handle demand deposits and time deposits, and then took out a little money and put it in her pocket, and then she was ready to leave.
Just as she was getting up, the bank's security officer suddenly came over and said that he wanted to invite her to the office to drink water, and the staff on the side also laughed and pulled her aside, saying that there would be a special car to take her home later.
At first, Huang Shuzhen thought that she was a VIP customer to get such a thoughtful service, so she happily followed them, who knew that as soon as she entered the office door, she was broken by several people and could no longer move.
After a while, Li Guangjun, deputy director of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Peace Bureau, also rushed over with several cadres and policemen, and when he saw Huang Shuzhen's first face, he said sternly: "You have no way to escape, quickly explain, how did these high-colored golds come from?" ”
Huang Shuzhen had never experienced such a scene, and out of fear, she said her crime on the spot.
At this time, Li Guangjun was shocked to find that Huang Shuzhen was not just an ordinary thief, and her husband Guan Qingchang was not simple, but the mastermind of the "gold theft case" of the 615 factory in Shenyang nineteen years ago!
The truth surfaced, and the thief couple was arrested
Nineteen years ago, Guan Qingchang relied on the work style of "diligence and hard work" and successfully sat in the position of deputy section chief of the production management section of the Shenyang 615 Factory, and gradually approached the center.
However, the promotion of the position did not satisfy Guan Qingchang, who had mixed with official positions in the early years of the Kuomintang period, and after the founding of New China, he considered every day how to run in case of danger.
Later, it was learned from the newspapers that Sino-Soviet relations had begun to deteriorate, and Chiang Kai-shek was ready to wait for the opportunity to counterattack the mainland, and that the country had entered a period of economic difficulties, so Guan Qingchang was ready to take advantage of this time to make a good profit, and when the time came, he could rely on these to turn around again.
But as soon as he thought that his own plot seemed to be easy to expose, Guan Qingchang began to brainwash his wife Huang Shuzhen, so that she must have a heart with himself, and then arranged her to work in the electrolysis workshop.
During this period, at the instigation of Guan Qingchang, Huang Shuzhen would steal some "golden lumps" from home almost every time, and over time, she was already very skilled in this process.
It's just that little by little accumulation, I don't know when I can save enough, Guan Qingchang is more and more dissatisfied, just during this period, the factory shipped a batch of wooden boxes containing gold, so he was ready to find the right time to start.
After observing the time and place of storing the gold through various opportunities, he called his wife Huang Shuzhen again, asking her to find a way to put words out of people's mouths to confirm whether the gold in the packaging group was scattered or had entered the factory.
Huang Shuzhen was obedient to her husband's orders, and she took the opportunity to find someone to talk about the family to the packaging group, and quietly remembered the placement of the wooden box during the conversation.
After returning home, Huang Shuzhen quickly told Guan Qingchang about the incident, and after some conspiracy at home, the couple began to prepare the tools for the crime, waiting for the right time.
"Ding, ding, ding..." The clock hands pointed to six o'clock in the afternoon, and Guan Qingchang quickly got up to look out the window, it was already dark, and it was still raining a little.
He quickly grabbed a hammer, a pair of gloves and a rope he had prepared, put on his raincoat and pushed his bicycle, and went straight to the factory.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Guan Qingchang first hid the crime tools in the office, and then went to the public bathhouse to take a bath, during which he suddenly began to chat with his colleagues.
Guan Qingchang's abnormal move is actually to consider that in case the matter is discovered, he still has alibi evidence, and others can help him testify.
After coming out of the bathhouse, seeing that there were not many people in the factory, Guan Qingchang quickly took out his crime tools, sneaked into the construction site of the packaging group at night, and then pried open the door lock, chiseled a hole in the wall between the wooden planks, successfully drilled in, and finally successfully took out two pieces of gold carefully.
Afraid of being exposed when he returned, Guan Qingchang tied the gold at both ends of the rope, and then tucked the gold in his pants, and the rope was hung around his neck, and his whole body was covered with a raincoat.
After arriving at the office, Guan Qingchang first thought about putting the gold in the table, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was not safe, so he took the two pieces of gold home and hid them in the frame.
The whole crime process took less than half an hour, but Guan Yongchang did not dare to stop at all, in order to create an alibi for himself, he hurried to the club in the factory to dance, no one doubted him at that time, everything was so perfect...
A day later, the theft of gold from the factory was discovered, and the superior leaders and the central government and even Premier Zhou were very concerned about the matter, and the whole factory was also in a state of nervousness.
Guan Qingchang, as one of the employees in the factory, was naturally nervous in his heart, but cunning as he was, through cooperation with his wife Huang Shuzhen, he finally successfully evaded the pursuit and evaded everyone's eyes.
Not only that, during the investigation of the case, Guan Qingchang was also appointed as the backbone of the case to help solve the case, and with him obstructing from it, the case eventually became a suspense case.
Later, in order to cope with the continuous investigation of the state, he deliberately disguised himself as a person who was dedicated to the party and the people every day, and successfully deceived many people, and this deception was nineteen years.
In the past few years, Guan Yongchang has been trying to find a way to dispose of the stolen gold, but did not meet the right time, until the state adjusted the purchase price of gold and silver, he felt that the time had finally come, so he instigated his wife Huang Shuzhen to go to the bank with some gold.
Guan Yongchang thought that he would receive the money soon, but he did not know that his wife would never come back, and the crime he had concealed for nineteen years was finally exposed.
Li Guangjun, deputy director of the Peace Bureau of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau, who had learned everything at that time, immediately contacted the Shenyang 615 Factory, and finally effortlessly arrested Guan Yongchang, and the gold that had been stolen was finally found.
The unsolved case that has been shelved for 19 years has finally come to light, which is great news for the Shenyang 615 factory and the employees who were once regarded as suspects.
They accepted the call, quickly came from all over the country to attend the congress, and one by one were restored to their reputations.
As for Guan Qingchang, a thief who had been hidden for nineteen years, he was finally punished as he deserved.
