Late at night on August 4, 1930, a law enforcement team of six Red Army soldiers was patrolling the streets of Changsha. Because of the high-intensity inspection in the middle of the night, they felt a little hungry, so they discussed eating bowls of noodles at the Xiangchun noodle restaurant around the corner in front.
But just when they were ready to take a break and enjoy a late night snack. Several vicious bullets suddenly burst out from the corner of the dark city wall, and all six warriors fell before they could react. This was the "attack and killing of the Red Army law enforcement team" that shocked the time.
What kind of person is so bold and daring to attack and kill the people's army?
Twenty years later, the dawn
At that time, this incident caused a huge sensation in the entire Changsha City, after all, the Red Army was killed on the street in the Changsha City that had just been beaten, which was a very serious matter. Either the thugs in the city committed the crime, or the remnants of the enemy were not cleared.
In either case, it showed that the situation of the Red Army at that time was very dangerous. In order to thoroughly investigate this matter, Peng Xuefeng, political commissar of the Sixth Division of the Red Third Army at that time, once demanded that the murderer be investigated and give a clear explanation to the soldiers under him.
But it happened that the Kuomintang general He Jian had already rushed to Changsha with a large army under Chiang Kai-shek's death order to "recapture Changsha in seven days." In order to preserve the living force of the revolution, the Red Army could only retreat and transfer strategically.
Although many underground workers were sent to visit the deeds of the year afterwards, they have never found anything. It was not until 1950, through a report by a rapist named Bao Yunsheng, that this bloody case that had been sealed for 20 years began to show the true face behind it.
At that time, Bao Yunsheng's main culpability problem was the crime of rape. Because he was a rickshaw driver, he was exploited and oppressed by the car shop boss in his early years, and after the establishment of New China, he brought down the car shop owner.
Logically, Bao Yunsheng should feel that he has a great vendetta.
But no, he felt that he had been wronged too much, so he took advantage of the absence of the car shop boss and the family to rape the car shop owner's little wife without a backbone. Then he was arrested by the public security bureau at that time and locked up in the detention center.
New China has just been founded, and in order to crack down on hidden Kuomintang agents and speculators, Bao Yunsheng's behavior is undoubtedly at gunpoint and cannot be forgiven.
But how could Bao Yunsheng, an illiterate rickshaw driver, know so much, as soon as he entered the Changsha Detention Center, he felt that he would be shot in the vegetable market in a short time. So I was always worried and afraid.
Coincidentally, at that time, in order to crack down on criminal acts and hidden hostile elements, the mainland implemented the method of reporting and prosecuting. This happened to be heard by Bao Yunsheng, and he pondered hard and finally thought of a way to reduce his sentence.
So he suppressed his inner excitement and anxiety, and shouted loudly in prison: "I want to see the chief, I have something important to report."
In this way, Bao Yunsheng was received by Ding Baoguo, the director of the detention center at the time. At first, Bao Yunsheng was quite dissatisfied that he was not personally received by the director, but after receiving Ding Baoguo's guarantee of meritorious commutation of sentence, he told a shocking secret:
"The attack and killing of the Red Army law enforcement team in Changsha 20 years ago was related to a man named Qi Kuanhan."
It was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, exploding in Ding Baoguo's ears. Taking a sip of the strong tea on the case, he tried to settle his mind and motioned for Bao Yunsheng to continue to tell all the details he knew.
The confusing truth
According to Bao Yunsheng's confession, it turned out that although the Red Army at that time had attacked Changsha City, it was still surrounded by Kuomintang reactionaries. The huge gap in strength between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has led to the constant unrest of law and order in Changsha.
In order to alleviate this situation, maintain law and order in the city and crack down on lawless elements and counter-revolutionaries in the city.
Under the instructions of the higher-level leaders, Peng Xuefeng set up a rotating law enforcement team to crack down on illegal acts in the city, and soon achieved good results.
This move was highly praised by the central government, and Peng Xuefeng was not hesitant to praise Peng Xuefeng as "a talent". It was at this time that a retaliatory action against the law enforcement team led by Peng Xuefeng was secretly brewing.
The Qi Kuanhan mentioned by Bao Yunsheng used to work in a Xiangchun noodle restaurant, and he was very good at bragging with people. In a chat where Bao Yunsheng was present, he drank a few more cups and blew over his head, saying that he knew best about this matter, and it was done by a gang of bandits named "Yixiang".
But when everyone still wanted to ask clearly, Qi Kuanhan, who reacted, refused to say anything. And because Bao Yunsheng and Qi Kuanhan are neighbors, there are times when this matter is mentioned later, but no matter what, Qi Kuanhan didn't spit out another word after all.
Now in order to obtain a reduced sentence, Bao Yunsheng did not care that he only had this clue without evidence, and told Ding Baoguo all of them.
The matter involved an unsolved case 20 years ago, and related to the sacrifice of six revolutionary fighters, Ding Baoguo did not dare to be careless, and immediately reported to his superiors. Because the public security organs were short of manpower at that time, the higher authorities decided to simply let Ding Baoguo lead three scouts to investigate the case.
According to the visit and the household registration information of Changsha City, Ding Baoguo quickly learned that Qi Kuanhan was currently working as a mechanic in a factory. But when he was called to the Public Security Bureau for questioning, he looked dazed.
No matter how Ding Baoguo used to blackmail him or intimidate him, he always insisted that although he had worked as a partner in the Xiangchun noodle restaurant, he never knew the conspiracy behind the "attack and killing of the Red Army". When the gun went off, I was so scared that I lay under the counter.
Seeing that the interrogation would have no effect, Ding Baoguo proposed a trick of "leading the snake out of the hole". First deliberately let Qi Kuanhan go, and then secretly check his behavior movements. If he really did something wrong, sooner or later he would have to show his horse's feet.
This advice was adopted. But I didn't expect that for several days in a row, Qi Kuanhan was running back and forth between work and going home, which was simply a model of excellent employees, and there was no problem at all.
Just when everyone thought that Qi Kuanhan really had no problem, one day, the chairman of the factory's labor union claimed to have intercepted a letter sent by Qi Kuanhan.
The recipient only had one surname Xiang, and in the letter, Qi Kuanhan informed Xiang that the police had found him and asked about the events of that year, but he did not confide half a point, asking Xiang to be careful of Yunyun.
The letter was like a cloud, and the public security organs quickly found this Xiang Moumou, the owner of Xiangchun Noodle Restaurant 20 years ago, Xiang Panlin.
With this progress, the public security organs quickly detained Qi Kuanhan and Xiang Panlin again for interrogation, and through the method of separate interrogation of the two, the two soon confessed in the face of strong pressure and strong evidence.
But unexpectedly, their problem was not at all "the attack of the Red Army".
According to their accounts, more than ten years ago, a beggar passed by the noodle stall to eat noodles, but he didn't expect that he was wearing two gold bars in rags. The two killed the little beggar, dumped him in a well, and divided two gold bars.
Although another murder case was inadvertently solved, all clues were cut off, and the case of "attack on the Red Army" also reached a stalemate.
Bright guidance
Unwilling to give up halfway like this, Ding Baoguo found all the guys in the store for questioning under Xiang Panlin's evidence. Let them recall what was unusual about the store before and after the attack of the Red Army in 1930.
After all, it was a big case that shocked the whole city that year, so these shop guys really remember it well. One of the guys mentioned that "a toady boy had been coming to the store to eat noodles a few nights before the crime", a clue that attracted Ding Baoguo's attention.
At the same time, the Xiangtan City Public Security Bureau next door provided a clue about the confession of Kuomintang agents, quickly opening the scene of this old case. According to the agent, a member of the "White Tiger Gang" in Ningxiang had revealed to him that his gang members planned to attack and kill the Red Army.
Most importantly, the agent remembers the name of the bandit who revealed the news to him. Although Ding Baoguo verified that the person had died, fortunately his wife was still alive.
In order to dispel the woman's guard, Ding Baoguo and his party decided to disguise themselves as members of the neighborhood committee and reporters, and found the woman's home under the guise of newspaper interviews.
Hearing that the newspaper wanted to discover old news, the woman was really happy that her late husband could "become famous". So he very happily said the behind-the-scenes conspiracy of that year.
It turned out that before the Changsha law enforcement team attacked and killed the case, the White Tiger Gang had hit the idea of a bank, but unfortunately it hit the gunpoint of the Red Army. In the end, the money was not robbed and many people died, so in order to take revenge on the Red Army, they planned this case against the law enforcement team.
When asked about the details of how the route and time of the law enforcement team were established at that time, the woman casually mentioned that "the little toad will step on the point first" to make Ding Baoguo and his party's eyes light up. I feel that the clues of the noodle stall guys before are finally coherent, and there is hope for solving the case.
So he followed the inducement, "praised" the young man is really "clever", and asked the woman if she remembered the young man's name? Madame thought for a while, and said with certainty: "If I remember correctly, it should be called Bao Yunsheng."
This sentence greatly surprised Ding Baoguo, who did not expect that the person who first reported this matter was the actual participant in this case. In order to reduce his sentence, he actually wanted to mix with fish and involve Qi Kuanhan, who had indeed been a buddy in a noodle stall.
Unexpectedly, Skynet was restored, and under the continuous efforts of Ding Baoguo and his entourage, he really found out himself. When Ding Baoguo returned to prison with the woman's confession and summoned Bao Yunsheng for interrogation, he was stupid on the spot.
The result is quite painful, but the 20-year-old case can be closed, and it can only be said that the soul of the martyr who died in vain finally rested. Of course, the cracking of this case is the result of the continuous efforts of Ding Baoguo and his entourage investigators.
At the same time, we cannot ignore Bao Yunsheng's "efforts" in this, although he did not receive a reduced sentence, but he finally received the "reward" he deserved - a bullet that was 20 years late.
