What kind of magnificent history is hidden behind this seemingly ordinary event? How can a hateful murderer get away with it for 24 years? In that turbulent era, why did a paralyzed old man cause such a big shock? All this seems to point to an unknown dark past, let us trace the footprints of history and explore the causes and consequences of this bizarre case.
Shocking murder
On April 6, 1927, an earth-shattering murder occurred in an ordinary house in Beijing. In the beautiful season of Qingming Festival, the spring of March, Li Dazhao, a famous patriot who had done his best for the cause of the country and the nation, was brutally shot and killed. On the morning of the same day, when Li Dazhao's wife went out, everything seemed so calm and healthy, but when Li Dazhao was home alone, the murderers were already ambushed nearby with murder weapons, ready to attack. When the gun rang out, once upon a time, Li Dazhao fell to the ground in response, drenched in blood.
The crazy murderers did not stop there, they rushed into the room, roughly dragged the seriously injured Li Dazhao out of the room, and tied him with ropes. Under the frightened eyes of Li Dazhao's wife and many neighbors, the murderers forcibly escorted him, and the chariots and horses took him to an unknown place. The whole process was brutal and the murder methods were ruthless and decisive, which shows that the murderers had premeditated and acted well.
In this way, Li Dazhao, a patriot who had made great contributions to the country and the nation, was treated more cruelly than death, and was finally hanged 22 days later. The whole case is interlocking, and there is treachery and darkness everywhere. What is even more puzzling is that this inhumane assassination of Li Dazhao was actually carried out by those in power. The mastermind directly responsible for this operation was Wu Yuwen, an important member of the Jingshi Police Department at that time, and all this was instructed by Zhang Zuolin, a Beiyang warlord at that time.
For a time, the news spread like thunder throughout the country, shocking the people of the whole country. People are all deeply angry and saddened by Li Dazhao's tragic death, and they strongly condemn such despicable acts of those in power. However, just when the people were angry and attacked, the mastermind Wu Yuwen and other murderers quickly took every opportunity to escape and completely disappeared from view, which further deepened the haze of this tragic incident. Everyone thought that this murder case that shocked China and the rest of the world may never be able to achieve justice.
Investigation and evidence collection
Time flies, time flies, and 24 years have passed from Li Dazhao's tragic murder to 1951. Such a long time has passed, and many people think that the assassination case that shocked the world has long been forgotten by the world, and the mastermind and murderer of the year will never escape the judgment of history. However, in June of that year, the newly established Central People's Government after the liberation of Beiping sent special personnel to carry out a secret investigation, and finally grasped some key clues.
It turned out that Wu Yuwen, the mastermind who personally participated in the assassination of Li Dazhao, was hiding in Beiping City and had been escaping the police's arrest. Although so many years have passed, the government must not allow this murderer who is the same party to fight against each other and who committed the most heinous crimes to go unpunished, and must bring him to justice and set the record straight!
As a result, the Beiping City Public Security Bureau set up a secret investigation team and sent Di Fei, a senior criminal policeman, to take charge of the operation. Di Fei was well aware of the importance of this operation, so he chose Wen Zhenhai, who has rich practical experience and first-class case-handling ability, as an investigator to carry out secret investigations in the front line.
After a preliminary investigation, Wen Zhenhai quickly locked down the address of a courtyard where Wu Yuwen might be hiding. This is an old-fashioned courtyard house surrounded by streets and houses facing excellently, which once lived in the aristocratic family of Beiping. Judging from the luxury of the residence, Wu Yuwen should have quite a status as the mastermind back then.
In order not to startle the snake, Wen Zhenhai began to secretly squat in the surrounding area, looking for a breakthrough. After many days of secret control, I finally got some extremely suspicious details. Among them, the most striking is the room in the main house of the courtyard where a paralyzed old man lives, and a strange lacquered wooden box is prominently placed.
Although Wen Zhenhai couldn't read the words on the box at the time, the dark wooden box was extremely eye-catching and incompatible with the environment of the old man's residence. It is too suspicious that an old man with epilepsy in bed should have such a thing that looks like a lot of value. Could it be that this paralyzed old man is the murderer Wu Yuwen that Wen Zhenhai has been looking for?
In order to further investigate all this, Wen Zhenhai began to secretly investigate the identity of this suspicious old man. After many inquiries, I finally found out that the old man's true identity turned out to be Wu Bozhai, which was the pseudonym of Wu Yuwen, an important member of the Jingshi Police Department back then! It seems that time has passed, and Wu Yuwen, the mastermind of the murderer back then, is now a penniless and lonely paralyzed old man.
Go behind enemy lines
After mastering Wu Yuwen's hiding place, the investigation work entered a critical stage. In order to thoroughly investigate the facts of the case, Wen Zhenhai had to risk his life and go deep into the "behind enemy lines" to carry out secret investigations.
First of all, Wen Zhenhai tried every means to sneak into the courtyard. He pretended to be a poor relative who was working in other places, and begged the owner of the courtyard to open up and rent him a small room in the corner to live in. In this way, Wen Zhenhai successfully moved into the courtyard and moved closer and closer to Wu Yuwen's hiding place.
As a veteran criminal policeman, Wen Zhenhai knows very well that he can't rush forward, and he must wait patiently for the opportunity. He began to walk around the courtyard, secretly observing the environment, always on the lookout for any clues. It didn't take long for Wen Zhenhai to find that the lacquered wooden box in Wu Yuwen's room was too bizarre.
In order to find out the origin of the box, Wen Zhenhai sneaked into Wu Yu's room when night fell, and secretly opened the box to check it. I saw stacks of yellowed documents and photos in the box, which were conclusive evidence of all kinds of bad deeds done by Zhang Zuolin and other Beiyang warlords against Li Dazhao back then.
It seems that many years ago, after Wu Yuwen participated in the assassination case that shocked China and foreign countries, he took all the evidence of that year with him as a "life-saving straw" on the way to escape. But now, this precious "legacy" has undoubtedly become the hammer lock evidence that convicts him of capital crimes.
Taking advantage of the night, Wen Zhenhai took pictures of the documents in the box one by one, preparing to report the matter to his superiors. At the same time, in order not to startle the snake, Wen Zhenhai also began to deliberately approach Wu Yuwen in the courtyard and try to break into his inner circle.
After unremitting efforts, Wen Zhenhai finally had the opportunity to be alone with Wu Yuwen. Inadvertently, Wen Zhenhai discovered that this seemingly poor paralyzed old man knew everything about the assassination case of that year, and his words revealed the resentment of the tragedy of that year.
What's even more striking is that there are still some shocking things hidden in Wu Yuwen's house, such as the pistol that shot Li Dazhao with his own hands and some bloody physical evidence of the year. For a while, Wen Zhenhai couldn't help but feel creepy, this old man was clearly the murderer of the year!
Deploy carefully
After Wen Zhenhai's secret investigation, Wu Yuwen, the culprit of the "earth-shattering murder case", finally surfaced. However, it is not easy to bring this 24-year-old treacherous and cunning man to justice from a legal point of view.
Once the grass startles the snake, Wu Yuwen will definitely retreat and disappear completely. Therefore, the top level of the central authorities decided to make the highest level of arrangements for this operation and go all out to catch this old thief who is the same party and fighting against each other.
First of all, Peng Zhen, who had just been transferred to the post of director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, was personally responsible for coordinating the entire process of the operation. As a veteran of the party, Peng Zhen is of course well aware of the significance of this action. He secretly made an oath of struggle to "seize even if there is one breath left", and he was extremely determined to thoroughly uphold revolutionary justice.
Secondly, in order to control all the movements in the surrounding area, Peng Zhen secretly mobilized a large number of arrest forces to deploy around the courtyard and monitor the suspect's every move at all times. All operations were kept under high secrecy, with only a few cronies being aware of it.
At the same time, the central party and government organs are also closely following the progress of this case. In accordance with the practice at the time, in order to help create an atmosphere of public opinion, the central authorities deliberately spread some gossip among the people, suggesting that the case had become an "urgent need".
Soon, the city of Beiping was full of wind and rain, rumors spread, and people talked about it. Some people say that this case involves the legacy of a major warlord and is the general reckoning of history; Some people also say that this case involves high-level secrets, and I don't know what shocking conspiracy will be set off...
Under the fanning of this atmosphere of public opinion, a cloudy tense atmosphere suddenly shrouded the entire city of Beiping. There may be some shocking event at any time, but no one can say exactly what the situation will be.
At the same time, Wen Zhenhai took advantage of the convenience of secretly lurking in Wu Yuwen's residence, and secretly passed on the important physical evidence and spy photos he had to his superiors one by one. In the eyes of Peng Zhen and others, the only remaining problem now is how to bring this "big tiger" who has been on the run for 24 years to justice.
To this end, Peng Zhen convened a secret meeting and invited high-level party, government, and military officials to attend. At the meeting, he opened the archives of the year, listed Wu Yuwen's various crimes one by one, and finally came to the conclusion: "This guy is unforgivable, and God will not forgive him!" We must do everything we can to get him apprehended, no matter what! ＂
After the meeting, Peng Zhen immediately launched an operation and personally deployed a last-ditch arrest plan. In the middle of the night, the army began to press the territory in batches, completely encircling Wu Yuwen's hideout, preparing to give the final fatal blow!
One pot served
With the full moon hanging high in the night, the arrest operation personally commanded by Peng Zhen kicked off. When the night was quiet, a large number of armed men with loaded guns and ammunition swarmed from all directions, surrounding Wu Yuwen's hideout with great momentum.
On the night of the operation, Peng Zhen wore civilian clothes and personally led the team to the scene to supervise the formation. He took a huge risk of snatching food from the tiger's mouth and commanded this thrilling operation with his own eyes, for fear that the slightest mistake would cause the treacherous and cunning Wu Yuwen to escape.
In such a tense atmosphere, the members of the task force split up and launched a surprise attack. Taking advantage of the cover of night, they quickly surrounded the courtyard when there was no one around, blocking all exits.
Subsequently, Peng Zhen personally ordered a general attack, and the members of the army rushed into the courtyard with steel guns and sharp weapons. A few minutes later, Wu Yuwen's hiding place was completely surrounded, and there was no way out.
"Wu Yuwen, you get out of here and die! At the shouting of the loudspeaker, an armed policeman with a gun kicked open the door of Wu Yuwen's room, making a dull loud noise, completely breaking the deathly silence in the building.
In an instant, a team of armed policemen with guns poured out of the nest, surrounded the room where Wu Yuwen was located, and pointed their guns directly at the room. And in this surging crowd, an old man paralyzed in bed with a bloodless face lying helplessly on the bed is the former murderer Wu Yuwen himself.
Seeing such a scene, the scene was deadly silent. Everyone understands that in front of the party and the people, this old thief is destined to be unforgivable, and he will be vindicated for his crimes. A few minutes later, I saw a group of people huddle and carry Wu Yuwen out of the room, and slowly put on the long-prepared ambulance.
In this way, after 24 years on the run, as the mastermind culprit of the "shocking murder case", Wu Yuwen finally surrendered to the law and will pay the price for his heinous crimes. When the ambulance slowly drove away from the scene, cheers rang out one after another in the courtyard, mixed with everyone's remembrance of the revolutionary pioneer Li Dazhao.
The next day, Wu Yuwen was officially handed over to justice. After an investigation, he was found guilty of "intentional homicide" and a number of other counts. With the conclusive evidence seized that year, all his crimes were finally completely revealed at this moment.
end
In this way, through a thrilling arrest operation, the "earth-shattering murder case" that shocked China and foreign countries finally came to an end, and justice was finally served for the death of revolutionary pioneer Li Dazhao. This will undoubtedly further consolidate the deterrent effect of the legal system in New China, and will also allow the people of the whole country to witness a magnificent and heavy historical moment.
