The Dusty Files Series – 147. The Stolen "G-1107"

author:Pingli Prosecutor

I. The mysterious "906 Factory"

There is an unnamed river at the junction of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan in the southwest region of China, although it is not wide, it has a long history, and the meandering and twisting flow and the eight regions of the three provinces are shuttled between the mountains, and the entry is deep and does not know where to go; out is flat and the fields are staggered. There are several jagged peaks in between, or abrupt and isolated, or meandering and stretching, forming a beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, green mountains and clear waters, cascading weirs and ponds, and ten miles of river beaches.

In 1963, a certain unit of the engineering corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army came here, first surveying and surveying by technicians, and then mobilizing the people to relocate with the cooperation of the local government. This was followed by the advance of the armed forces, drawing out the forbidden areas and setting up sentries. Within a few days, a large number of convoys appeared on the highway every day, countless trucks continued to bring construction equipment, and the engineers worked hard day and night to build a large number of construction. A year later, many factories were erected in this nameless natural scenic area, and a large-scale modern factory was born.

The factory had no label and was known as the "906 Factory", which was the code name of the secret factory at the time, and no one knew or delved into the connotation of this set of Arabic numerals. The local people in all directions and miles only saw that from time to time there were military trucks heavily covered with grass-green canvas coming in and out under the escort of armed soldiers, but they did not know what items were loaded on the cars. Almost everyone felt magical and novel, but no one dared to step into the forbidden area to spy. On the day of the rush to the market town, I met male and female employees wearing labor cloth overalls with the words "906 Factory" printed on their chests, and they also stayed away and did not dare to ask more than half a sentence. At that time, although China had not yet promulgated the "Secrecy Law", under the general climate of "taking class struggle as the guideline", the importance of secrecy work had long been well known and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one dared to take a step beyond the thunder pool. In the minds of the locals, the "906 Factory" is a mysterious territory, an independent kingdom.

In fact, not only the locals, but also the employees of the "906 Factory", do not know which of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan belongs to or which ministry of the central government, and do not know what products and how to use the parts and components they personally manufacture. From the first day they entered the factory area, they were told that "what should not be asked is not allowed to be asked", just as the older generation of Communists engaged in underground work. Not only "should not be asked" and "should not go is not allowed to go", the scope of activities of the whole factory staff has strict restrictions, the factory department printed a variety of colors of the pass, to distinguish the range of activities between the workshops, sections: the general workers and low and middle-level cadres can only use the pass in their respective workshops, sections, department activities, only the factory level cadres (the lowest level of them is the deputy department level) to hold a red pass that can be the whole factory activities, and only they know exactly what products the factory produces - According to the results of the state so far, new national defense weapons and components are produced on a trial basis. One of the "energy conversion fission containers" with the atomic bomb's important component codenamed "G-1107" is one of them.

The cadres and workers who came to work in the "906 Factory" were strictly selected, and the political examination was conducted until the three generations of the ancestors, and my performance was checked from the age of 7, even if I stole a half-ripe peach from someone else's tree when I was a child. Is this review useful? Say useful is really a bit useful, built a few years ago, such a big stall, twenty or thirty thousand people gathered together, there was no shortage of a bolt and a coin, fighting, gambling is impossible to talk about, people who know the inside story are saying that the "906 factory" people have good quality. Perhaps because of the influence of "good quality", the factory security department has the weakest awareness of "anti-theft" in the "four defenses".

The truth of many things in the world is so clear: where there is weakness, there is a loophole to be exploited!

In the early autumn of 1966, there was a sensational theft at the "906 Factory": the theft of the important part of the atomic bomb "G-1107"!

The history of this extraordinarily large theft case is as follows: At about four o'clock in the afternoon of this day, the director of the assembly workshop, the secretary of the general branch of the party and the leader of the security team of the factory security department stationed in the assembly workshop, according to the regulations, the "G-1107" workpieces that have been completed after nearly a year of hard work will be sent to the final assembly workshop pressure test room together, and the "G-1107" will undergo various pressure tests in the test room. The three men handed over to Li Fulin, the duty chief of the test press room, and Bao Yuanchang, the security officer of the factory security department stationed in the pressure reduction room, and left immediately after completing the written handover procedures. After that, Bao Yuanchang also left, leaving the duty chief Li Fulin and the operator He Jiasheng in the test room.

According to the operating regulations of the plant, the pressure test room should have 3 operators and 1 duty chief per shift. However, in the past two days, the factory department held a "Sixteen-Point Study Class" (press: "Sixteen-Point" that is, the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution" issued by the CPC Central Committee in May 1966), and two operators went to participate in the study, so only two people were left. Two people have to do it too! Li Fulin decided decisively: immediately prepare for the pressure test, and then scientifically test the "G-1107" workpiece. He Jiasheng said nothing and immediately made preparations for the test. This job is done by 4 people, not half an hour, but now there are only two people, it is slow to do, and it is more than five o'clock when it is done. Li Fulin was afraid that the workshop canteen would close, so he asked He Jiasheng to go to dinner, and wanted to eat dinner and then test it.

After He Jiasheng left, Li Fulin spread out his book on the table to make a "production log" record. After remembering no more than two sentences, I suddenly felt abdominal pain like colic, and wanted to defecate, so I hurriedly put the "G-1107" workpiece into the safe, locked it, and locked the door of the test chamber, taking three steps and making two steps to the toilet.

Less than a minute after Li Fulin returned from the toilet, He Jiasheng returned from the meal, and the two had dinner at their posts. After the meal, Li Fulin said, "Let's start," and went to open the safe. Who knows open the box door, the "G-1107" workpiece has disappeared!

Many years later, He Jiasheng, a retired cadre who was nearly seventy years old, recalled to this writer the situation at that time and sighed, saying: "At that time, I felt like someone punched me in the head, my ears were buzzing, and there was a darkness in front of me, and then there seemed to be golden flies flying around!" Really, I was so scared. This kind of thing is really negotiable! ”

I had a hard time settling down, and turned my face to look at Lao Li, who stood there, motionless, a pair of eyes looking straight at the safe, like a wooden man; his face was pale at first, and suddenly turned purple and blue after a few seconds, almost like a dead man who had just lost his breath. Then, the body shook a few times, and Gollum fell to the ground and passed out! ”

As soon as the duty chief was unconscious, He Jiasheng was even more panicked, but after all, he was a soldier, and he had participated in the volunteer reconnaissance detachment in Korea that was interspersed behind the enemy, and he knew what to do in this situation, and he could finally keep panicking and not chaotic, and immediately called the police to the office of the assembly workshop.

What kind of important value did the "G-1107" have that made the duty chief Li Fulin stunned on the spot, and frightened He Jiasheng, who had fought with the Bayonet of the American soldiers, into confusion and ringing in the ears? Originally: atomic bombs, also known as atomic bombs, are a kind of bomb, and their explosion principle is to use the atomic energy generated by the splitting of atomic nuclei such as uranium and plutonium to produce explosions for killing and destruction. The formal name of the "G-1107" workpiece is "energy conversion fission container", and it is here that the initial fission of uranium and plutonium is carried out. The shell of "G-1107" is made of rare metal platinum, platinum, folk known as "platinum", its value is more than 10 times that of gold, and the degree of difficulty is much higher than gold, therefore, its preciousness can be imagined! According to expert estimates, the shell material value of the "G-1107" exceeded 120,000 yuan, which was an astronomical figure in the 1960s when the monthly salary of young workers was only about 30 yuan. The internals of the G-1107 cannot be calculated in monetary terms. If the artifact is stolen by enemy elements abroad or by hostile forces in Taiwan, the serious consequences are unimaginable and difficult to express.

Second, the final assembly workshop stops production to be investigated

At that time, it was 5:15 p.m., the director of the general assembly workshop and the secretary of the general party branch had already left work, and the person who answered the phone was Hou Pengtian, deputy director of the workshop and deputy duty chief of the middle shift, who was an officer who had been transferred from the army and had been a deputy regimental commander. After a short pause, Hou Pengtian immediately hung up the phone to report to the factory security department and the general duty room of the factory department, and at the same time quickly sent someone to the family area to notify the workshop director and the general secretary of the party branch.

Five minutes later, Lin Zhongwu, deputy director of the factory's security department, drove to the scene and brought seven or eight security officers. The "906 Factory" is a government-enterprise integration unit, the security department is the public security bureau, everyone is wearing police uniforms, equipped with police dogs, criminal investigation kits and so on. Lin Zhongwu previously served as the deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Provincial Public Security Department and is an old public security officer with rich practical experience. At the moment, listening to He Jiasheng and Li Fulin talk about the incident, while issuing orders for his subordinates to investigate, on the other hand, he immediately contacted the guard troops with the radio and asked them to send more sentries to block the passage to the outside world.

The results of the on-site investigation were very bad: no crowbar marks were found in the safe, the perpetrator was a lock opened with a master key, and it was obviously a case made of gloves, leaving no half a fingerprint; the doors and windows were intact, and there was no trace of any clues; the sniffing traces of the police dog did not play the expected role, and the criminal used a chemical reagent to cover his own smell, making the police dog dazed.

At this time, the factory director, deputy director, party secretary, and so on all drove to listen to Lin Zhongwu report the case and the results of the investigation, and frowned everyone. Several heads gathered in the office of the assembly workshop for a short meeting and made a decision: the Ministry of Security was instructed to investigate the case and recover the stolen goods; the factory department would come forward and report the situation to Beijing.

Huang Song, minister of the Ministry of Defense, went to Beijing last week as a representative of activists who systematically study and make use of Chairman Mao's writings. In this way, the task of "solving the case within a time limit of 10 days" issued by the party committee and the factory department fell on the shoulders of Vice Minister Lin Zhongwu, which was undoubtedly a heavy responsibility, so heavy that he could hardly stand up straight! But no matter how heavy the task is, it must be done, and it must be done immediately.

The first thing Lin Zhongwu did was to set up a special case team, and he drew more than a dozen names on his notebook, in addition to the seven or eight who participated in the on-site investigation, there were Liu Jun, head of the security team of the security department stationed in the general assembly workshop, Bao Yuanchang, the security officer of the test press room, and several other security cadres. The people who were named were all Communists, and most of them had worked on the public procuratorial and legal front before they were transferred to the "906 Factory." Then, Lin Zhongwu immediately summoned the members of the special case team to hold a case analysis meeting.

The case analysis meeting was held in the small conference room of the assembly workshop, and Lin Zhongwu first said a few opening remarks, which were nothing more than announcing the establishment of a special case team, second, introducing the case, and third, inviting everyone to "brainstorm and work together" to analyze the case. From Lin Zhongwu's grim expression and heavy tone, and the silent atmosphere of the final assembly workshop after the case, the members of the task force realized that everyone present was in a very delicate position. The subtlety of this position is that if the case is solved, it will be praised, rewarded, and even promoted; on the contrary, it will be handed over, checked, criticized, and transferred from the Ministry of Security. Everyone is a smart person, this layer of meaning does not need To be said by Lin Zhongwu, in order to get rid of the latter possibility, the case analysis will be very enthusiastic.

The first speaker was Liu Jun, head of the security team of the General Assembly Workshop of the Ministry of Security, a big man of twenty-seven or eight years old, born as a scout, who was directly transferred from the army to the "906 Factory." Liu Jun said: "This is a case of internal theft, and when I say 'internal theft', I mean the assembly workshop, that is, the perpetrator must be the person in the assembly workshop, because people in other workshops cannot enter the assembly workshop area." Therefore, I think we should focus our investigation on the final assembly workshop. ”

Liu Jun's point of view was supported by a security officer: "Yes! The investigation focuses on the final assembly workshop, starting from the test chamber. ”

Lin Zhongwu set his eyes on Bao Yuanchang, a thirty-year-old small man, no matter his size, face and demeanor, all of which showed his unique ability and agility: "Xiao Bao, you are the security officer of the test press room, you talk." ”

Bao Yuanchang shook his head and said with a bitter face, "Count me unlucky!" Just transferred to the test chamber for half a month, there was such a case..."

Lin Zhongwu interrupted him: "Don't complain! Tell us how to start from the inside of the pressure test room. ”

Bao Yuanchang said: "If we say that there are four people in the first class of the current class, then we can rule out suspicion." Why? Let's talk about it one by one, that He Jiasheng was eating in the workshop canteen when the crime occurred, and there were many people who had seen him! I was having dinner in the canteen at the time, so I could also count as a witness; besides, Li Fulin, he went to the toilet when the crime occurred, and when I sent him to the infirmary just now, he said several witnesses, and I had already asked them one by one and confirmed them; there were two operators in the study class, and I immediately called to inquire about it, and the comrade of the Propaganda Department said that the study class left at five o'clock, and both of them were there at that time. The factory department is five miles away from the assembly workshop, the time of the crime is from 5:05 to 5:10, and they will definitely not be able to catch up on foot in seven or eight minutes. Therefore, all four members of class A can be excluded. As for the eight members of Class B and Class C, I dare not guarantee them here, but it is also very easy to investigate: all those who enter or leave the assembly workshop must be registered in the guard room of the workshop, and it is enough to check whether they have been here. ”

Someone said, "Hey! This is a simple method, the first level is first from the workshop guard room register, where the time of the crime is in the workshop area, it is necessary to check, found suspicious points put aside as the key examination object. ”

Lin Zhongwu nodded, "That makes sense!" So look it up, and then it starts. The specific steps are: first copy the list from the guardhouse, and then investigate separately, you can ask in person, let everyone report the whereabouts and references of the time of the crime, and make a record of each inquiry and ask the parties to sign and press fingerprints. Let's see what else is there? ”

The crowd replied, "No." ”

"Then adjourn the meeting and act now!"

When Lin Zhongwu went down to the guardhouse to copy the list, he made a phone call to the factory headquarters and asked the director on duty for an arrow: the assembly workshop was suspended on duty, and all the personnel assisted the special case team in conducting an investigation.

There are more than 1,100 cadres and workers in the assembly workshop, divided into three shifts, and there are more than 300 people on duty in the workshop. Due to the large workshop area, many posts, and the pattern of closed production, most people did not know that such a large case had occurred. When the work stoppage order was ordered, when the notice from the superiors came from the cable broadcast, everyone was confused, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, speculating that it was related to the most fashionable "Cultural Revolution" movement at that time.

The special case team has a stall, occupying a corner each, setting up a table and a few chairs, holding the list and shouting. The called person went over, sat down face to face with them, and then answered truthfully whereabouts and testimonies about their whereabouts around five o'clock in the afternoon. At first, the crowd was still full of indifference, tongue-in-cheek, giggling, and then they saw that the signs seemed wrong, so they stopped laughing and waited quietly at their respective posts, waiting to call themselves, so that they could quickly go to the organization to prove their innocence.

After such inquiries one by one, by the time more than three hundred people arrived one by one, it was already late at night. The members of the task force regrouped, ate a simple supper, and each stall took out its own interrogation record, read and analyzed it carefully, put aside no doubts, and handed them over to Lin Zhongwu, the leader of the special case team, for review. This was done for another three hours, and then the discussion was concentrated, and the transcripts that Lin Zhongwu had reviewed were read out one by one to discuss the investigation plan.

When the sound of chickens chirping came from the distant mountain villages, more than a dozen members of the special case team drove to the family area of the factory, knocked on the doors of some workers and cadres who had been investigated last night, asked them to make statements again, and from time to time raised some detailed questions about the time of the crime by the person being questioned or others, and asked them to give the most detailed answers.

By the time the individual investigations came to an end, the red sun was already rising. Various investigation materials were gathered in front of Lin Zhongwu, and after screening and elimination, there were finally 3 suspects left: Xu Maoxin, Fang Yanrun, the operator of the oil section of the assembly workshop, and Song Luchuan, the head of the catering section of the assembly workshop. Lin Zhongwu's gaze lingered for a long time on the three words "Song Luchuan", and the pencil drew a big circle on the names of Xu Maoxin and Fang Yanrun: "Summoning these two people!" ”

Two police cars drove into the family area, stopped at Xu Maoxin's door and in front of the female worker's dormitory, and took Xu Maoxin and Fang Yanrun with them.

Xu Maoxin, 28 years old, the leader of the oiling section, is married, usually works more actively, and has been rated as an advanced worker in the workshop. Last night, he was in middle school, and when answering the questions of the special case personnel, he claimed to have eaten in the canteen at the time of the crime, and who sat next to him did not pay attention. After repeated investigations, the 44 people who ate in the canteen at the time of the crime all testified to each other, that is, no one had seen him, while at least 5 other people could prove that they saw him eating in the workshop at 5:15, that is, after the crime. This is a big doubt.

Fang Yanrun, 21 years old, an apprentice in the oiling section, unmarried, usually performs at work and loves to dress up. Last night was also in the middle class, when she was investigated by the special case personnel, she looked panicked and spoke incoherently, saying that she went to the toilet at that time, and then went to the workshop canteen, and on the way, she encountered so-and-so, so-and-so. But according to the two female workers she listed as witnesses, they did not see Fang Yanrun during this time.

After Xu and Fang arrived at the Security Department, they were interrogated separately. Fang Yanrun He had seen such a black face and scolding posture of the autumn wind, and when he entered the door, he was frightened and wept, but he always used silence to deal with the special case personnel. The special case personnel interrogating her had all eaten authentic public security meals, and they did not think much of this "silence", and the more silent they became, the more problematic it was, so they attacked her psychological defense line from all angles, as long as they broke through an opening.

Before the attack had the desired effect, another suspect, Xu Maoxin, had already spoken. His opening made Fang Yanrun relieved——

It turned out that although Xu Maoxin was a husband with a wife, he was "eating in the bowl and looking at the pot", moving to seduce the brain of the Yellow Flower Girl, and he hit the idea on the head of Fang Yanrun, a female apprentice with a good posture, and flattered and seduced him at the first opportunity. Fang Yanrun is still shallow in the world, Xu Maoxin is the team leader who holds small power, and she herself is frivolous and popular, and it did not take long to throw herself into Xu's arms. But Xu Maoxin's wife is also a worker in the assembly workshop, and her eyes are going to be swept away, so the two have to sneak back and forth.

Yesterday, Xu Maoxin's wife did not come to the middle class because of other people's affairs with her, Xu Maoxin seized the opportunity, and as soon as he went to work, he secretly met with Fang Yanrun: taking advantage of the opportunity of others to go to dinner. In this way, when dinner was opened, everyone else went to the workshop canteen, and Xu and Fang sneaked into the small warehouse of the section, laid a layer of kraft paper on the ground, and seized the opportunity to act. By the time the others returned from the canteen, the two were already done, and they went to the canteen to eat casually, but they were unexpectedly entering the ranks of the suspects.

Xu Maoxin confessed, and Fang Yanrun had no choice but to admit it. Of course, the special case personnel did not believe the confession, and immediately went to the small warehouse in the oil section to investigate the scene, and then pulled out the kraft paper from the garbage heap on the side, and unfolded it to see that the fine marks on it were impressive. After finding evidence, the special case personnel confirmed that the two were not suspects in the theft case. Of course, the bad manners and bad customs of Xu Maoxin and Fang Yanrun could not be tolerated, and a decision was made on the same day: Xu Maoxin's team leader was removed, and the administrative record was recorded once; Fang Yanrun was given a warning once, and the apprenticeship period was extended for 1 year.

Xu Maoxin and Fang Yanrun's doubts were eliminated, and song Luchuan, the head of the dietary section, was left with doubts in the whole workshop. Lin Zhongwu, the leader of the special case team, sat alone in his office, looking at the three words on the "summons card" with a pair of eyes fixed--Song Luchuan was in a daze. This "summons card" had to be signed by him to take effect, the pen was in front of him, and he wanted to sign it several times, but the tip of the pen was not yet stained with paper and slowly put down.

Liu Jun, the leader of the security team who was on the mission, waited impatiently outside, pushed the door and entered: "Minister Lin, the police car has already driven, just waiting to go!" ”

Lin Zhongwu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Xiao Liu, you may not know, this old man is easy to send God to be difficult." If you're mistaken, the consequences are real..." He swallowed the next few words.

Liu Jun only then understood why Lin Zhongwu had only circled two of the three suspects' names before, but he didn't understand why Lin Zhongwu was afraid to see a small dietary section chief, and at this time, it was inconvenient to ask questions, but he just looked at his superiors sheepishly.

Oh, yes! Why was a deputy director of the security department afraid to see a small dietary section chief? There's a reason for that...

Third, the one-armed old Red Army

Section Chief Song Luchuan, Jiangxi Yongxinren Clan, 57 years old. Don't look at his official title as the chief of the catering section below the workshop, but he joined the revolution earlier than anyone else in the whole factory: he joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in 1932, participated in the Long March, and was one of the few survivors of the old Red Army in the country who experienced a twenty-five-thousand-mile journey.

In the long revolutionary years, Song Luchuan left many memorable experiences: after arriving in northern Shaanxi at the end of the Long March, he served as a guard for Zhou Enlai; later he served as a brother-in-law for Zhang Guotao, and at one point he was transferred to the guard battalion of the front line headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, where he served as a heavy task to protect the safety of Peng Dehuai, Zuo Quan, and other chiefs. In the middle of the War of Resistance Against Japan, during the "May Day Sweep", Song Luchuan's left arm was hit by a poisonous bullet from a Japanese devil, and he was forced to amputate his leg and become a one-armed man.

After that, Song Luchuan's career as a horseman who charged into the battlefield came to an end, and he went to the rear to engage in logistical work. Due to the frequent pain of broken arms, Song Luchuan fell into the habit of alcoholism. If he doesn't drink it, he will drink at least a pound of shochu and drink him happily. The so-called pain and happiness is to drink and go crazy, beat and scold, and the six relatives do not recognize. On one occasion, he beat Commander-in-Chief Zhu De's mount to death, and on another occasion he threw the hat worn by Kang Sheng, the head of the Central Intelligence Department, into the air, and pushed and pulled and slapped the tiger's whiskers at several other prestigious generals. For this reason, he did not squat in the confinement room, otherwise he would have been promoted long ago.

After the founding of New China, Song Luchuan worked as a groom at a military academy in North China, and after a year he was discharged from the army, refusing to live or die; he was forced to threaten to carry a wine gourd to Beijing to break into Zhongnanhai, which frightened his superiors into taking back his life and transferred him to a certain department of the engineering corps as the chief of the department.

Song Luchuan was the chief of the department while drinking wine in a certain unit of the engineering corps, and the wine was very fierce, and the chief secretary was also very good. Therefore, although the superior saw that he had a headache, he sat in a very stable position and sat for more than ten years. When the "906" factory was built in 1963, Song Luchuan saw the scenery here and offered to change jobs.

The "906" factory accepted Song Luchuan, but the director of the factory at the level of vice minister was worried about how to arrange this old Red Army who was older than himself in revolutionary qualifications, and personally talked to him to solicit opinions. Song Luchuan was also simply and voluntarily became the director of the department. The "906" factory did not have such a position, so he was made the chief of the catering section.

During the "Socialist Education Movement" (the famous "Four Qing Movement"), someone in Song Luchuan's canteen offered him to "wash his hands and bathe" (this is a special term for the "Four Qing Movement", which means to explain his own problems large and small), and he slapped him with a blush. The master was a demobilized soldier, who had served as a reconnaissance platoon leader in the army, and his ability to grasp and fight was a housekeeping skill, but he could not prevent Song Luchuan's shot at all. Only then did people know that his martial arts were still there when he was a defender for Zhou Enlai, and they no longer dared to provoke him.

In such a role, the deputy director of the security department naturally did not dare to touch him easily. But it is not okay to touch it, and the doubts of the entire assembly workshop are concentrated on Song Luchuan alone: he sits in the position of the chief of the dietary section, is on the regular day shift, usually he goes to work at 8 o'clock in the morning and leaves at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and the thunder does not move. Yesterday was unusual, not leaving work at 5 o'clock, not staying in the canteen, but swinging in the workshop area. According to factory regulations, this kind of "collusion" behavior is not allowed, but Song Luchuan has a special identity and no one dares to interfere. Records made by the workshop guard room indicate that Song Luchuan was separated from the car room at 5:13. And during the crucial time between 5:03 and 5:10, no one could prove where and what they were doing. When the special case team discussed the case, someone suggested that this may be his case, this old guy may want to steal the "G-1107" artifacts out to sell money for wine and drink, although he does not know one in large characters, but he knows what material the shell of "G-1107" is made of, fishing for one is enough for him to drink for eight lifetimes! In view of this reason and the imaginary motives, the special case team decided to summon Song Luchuan. But when Lin Zhongwu signed the approval, he hesitated: what if I got it wrong?

At this time, Lin Zhongwu heard a resolution of the joint meeting of the factory department and the party committee: the case should be solved within 10 days! Can't help but be excited: it has been nearly 20 hours, and the time can't be delayed! In a hurry, an idea popped up in his head: Why don't you change it, I will come forward to talk to Old Man Song, and comrades will go to his house to understand the situation, see if there are any clues, and then depend on the situation. With the idea decided, Lin Zhongwu summoned Liu Jun and asked him to drive quickly to invite Song Luchuan to come over, and then arranged for Bao Yuanchang and others to do so.

It was Sunday, and Song Luchuan did not go to work. When Liu Jun went to his house, the old man was chopping firewood, and when he heard that Minister Lin had an invitation, he was a little upset and scolded twice, but he still gave face. Song Luchuan is a big man, although he is nearly a flower armor, he does not hunch his back and does not bend, and he walks tigers and tigers, and he is fast! He swung into the office and stood in front of Lin Zhongwu like an iron tower: "Xiaolin, what is the matter with me?" ”

Lin Zhongwu hurriedly invited Song Luchuan to sit down, and did not dare to open the door to the mountain and explain his intentions, so he had to pretend that there was something to ask him for advice, and really made up a matter of guard matters to "ask for advice." Song Luchuan didn't know whether he was deliberately pretending to be garlic, or if he really didn't understand the meaning, he said it solemnly. The old man had served as Zhou Enlai's guard, Zhang Guotao's brother-in-law, Peng Dehuai, and Zuo Quan's guard platoon leader. When Song Luchuan was talking vigorously, Bao Yuanchang called Lin Zhongwu to report: According to Song Luchuan's son and Song Xiaochuan, a worker in the life logistics department of the "906 Factory," his father took back a white and dangling jar yesterday evening, and later took it out, but he did not know where to put it.

Lin Zhongwu listened, thinking that as long as there was evidence, it would be good. So he waited for Song Luchuan to finish speaking, personally brewed a cup of tea for the old man, and then gave him a cigarette, lit the fire, and then carefully pretended to be careless and asked: "Old Song, there is something I want to inquire about..."

"Say it!"

"Where were you after work yesterday— between 5 o'clock and 5:15?"

Song Luchuan looked at Lin Zhongwu: "What do you ask?" ”

"That's right. Yesterday evening there was a case in the final assembly workshop. ”

"Oh, what case?"

"An artifact was stolen!"

Song Luchuan blinked, "Oh, I was walking around the small garden behind the canteen that time, and I didn't see anyone sneaking around." ”

Lin Zhongwu looked at Song Luchuan, who was as calm as ever, and secretly laughed in his heart: Old master, since this matter has set its sights on you, it is not so easy to be relieved. He said: "Old Song, it is like this, according to the orders of the factory department and the party committee, we must ask everyone who was in the assembly workshop at the time of yesterday's crime to ask where they were, what they were doing, and whether anyone had proved it..."

Song Luchuan interrupted, "What if no one proves it?" ”

"Then there's going to be a review."

Song Luchuan said with a deep face: "Lao Tzu has no one to prove, you come to censor!" ”

At this point in the conversation, there is no way to continue. As vice minister of the Ministry of Security, Lin Zhongwu had the power to approve detention, examination, and arrest, but in the face of Song Luchuan, an old Red Army, he did not dare to exercise this power hastily. He had to call the factory headquarters and report directly to the factory director for instructions on how to deal with it.

Half an hour later, when he received the call, he immediately put down the director of the "906 Factory" at hand and hurriedly drove to the Security Department to talk with Song Luchuan. The conversation took place in a secret room, and no third person knew what the two were talking about. Even Lin Zhongwu only knew that the result of this conversation was not happy.

About 20 minutes later, the factory director came out of the secret room, waved at Lin Zhongwu, and angrily said: "Quarantine review!" With that, he strode out.

In this way, Song Luchuan was isolated.

Fourth, the facts of the case alarmed Premier Zhou

On the third day after the theft of the "G-1107," all the delegates to the Congress of Activists of the Commission for Science and Technology for National Defense in Beijing to systematically study and use Chairman Mao's writings gathered in the Great Hall of the People, and they were told that the head of the Central Committee would receive all the delegates.

At 2:30 p.m., the exciting moment arrived, and in the warm applause, Zhou Enlai, Ye Jianying, Xu Xiangqian, He Long, Nie Rongzhen, Chen Yi, Yu Qiuli, Zhang Aiping, and Chen Boda and Jiang Qing, responsible persons of the Central Cultural Revolution Group who had begun to become popular at that time, appeared in front of the delegates. It was also a coincidence that Huang Song, director of the security department of the "906 Factory," was standing in the first row, and Zhou Enlai shook hands with the representatives in the front row one by one, asking from time to time: Which unit are you a representative? Where did you work? Have your experts there been impacted? Wait a minute. The world-renowned and beloved prime minister is accustomed to taking advantage of every opportunity to learn more. According to people who worked in Zhou Enlai's office, some of the materials in Zhou Enlai's speech at the meeting of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee were obtained from receiving mass deputies. This time, when Zhou Enlai shook hands with Huang Song, he heard Huang Song say, "I wish the premier good health!" He smiled and said, "Thank you!" I wish you good health! Which unit are you representing? ”

"Report to the Prime Minister, I am the representative of the '906 Factory' Huang Song."

Zhou Enlai's two handsome thick eyebrows shrugged slightly upwards and said, "'906 Factory'?" Well, ask you about an acquaintance, Song Luchuan with one arm, is he okay? ”

Huang Song was stunned, he had received a long-distance call from Lin Zhongwu, deputy director of the Ministry of Security, and knew about the theft of "G-1107" and the isolation of Song Luchuan, but he had forgotten that Song Luchuan had once been a guard of Zhou Enlai, and now that Zhou Enlai asked about him, he suddenly remembered. In front of the premier, he could only say truthfully: "Report to the premier, Song Luchuan is involved in a theft case and is being isolated for review." ”

Zhou Enlai's brow shrugged again, oh, didn't say anything more, and went forward.

That night, a black car drove into the compound of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission Guest House, and out of the car, a man in civilian clothes in his thirties stepped straight into the office of the director of the guest house. A few minutes later, Huang Song, who was already lying in bed, received a call from the director of the guest house, asking him to go to the director's office immediately. Huang Song walked into the office, and the man stood up and shook hands with him: "Comrade Huang Song, hello!" I am a staff member of the Prime Minister's Office. With that, he showed his PAPERS.

The director of the guest house walked out with amusement and covered the door. The visitor said: "Comrade Huang Song, the Prime Minister has entrusted me to ask you about the theft of 'G-1107'. ”

After Huang Song knew the identity of the other party, he had already guessed the other party's intentions, and he felt quite worried in his heart: Was premier Zhou unaware of this case, or did he know about this case but did not know about Song Luchuan's suspected isolation and examination, and he heard about it in the Great Hall of the People during the day and sent someone to understand it? If Song Luchuan was wrongly suspected, and there was an accident in the isolation, then the Security Department would be miserable! Nervous, I had to say it. Therefore, he recounted the relevant situation that Lin Zhongwu had reported to him by long-distance telephone.

The other party listened very carefully, and after Huang Song finished speaking, he asked a few detailed questions, and then politely resigned.

The car drove back to Zhongnanhai, and the staff member came to the West Flower Hall and reported to Premier Zhou on the situation described by Huang Song. Premier Zhou listened, frowned and pondered, and after a while he summoned his secretary and ordered, "You hang up Minister Xie's phone immediately, and I will talk to him." ”

Xie Fuzhi joined the Red Fourth Front of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in 1930 and served as deputy commander of the Taiyue Military Region during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression; during the Liberation War, he served as commander of the Third Corps of the Third Field Army; and after liberation, he served as a leader in the Yunnan Military Region and the Armed Police Force. Zhou Enlai had never directly led these departments, so the relationship between the premier and Xie Fuzhi was not "old" or a personal friendship. Zhou Enlai's treatment of such subordinates was usually easy-going and serious, enthusiastic and measured, and when they met, the other party was generally not surprised, and cut the words directly to the point: "Comrade Fuzhi, I have heard that the atomic bomb parts 'G-1107' made by the '906 Factory' under the jurisdiction of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission have been stolen. Does the Ministry of Public Security know about this case? ”

Xie Fuzhi replied: "Premier, I am aware of this case, and when it occurred three days ago, the factory reported it to the Ministry of Public Security, and the Science and Technology Commission for National Defense immediately informed the Ministry of Public Security of the case. ”

Zhou Enlai: "What measures has the Ministry of Public Security taken?" ”

Xie Fuzhi: "I considered that the '906 Factory' is a confidential factory under the jurisdiction of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, and they did not ask for it, so they did not send personnel over. ”

Zhou Enlai's voice was full of undisguised irritation: "Although the '906 Factory' is under the control of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, it is not an army establishment, and no one in the whole factory is wearing military uniforms." Such a major case in a non-military unit has already been reported to the Ministry of Public Security, and you still don't care, which provision does this comply with? What a mess! ”

Zhou Enlai's cultivation was excellent, even if he was very angry, he never cursed, and "playing the piano" was the highest level of venting that appeared in his mouth. Knowing this, Xie Fuzhi was a little flustered, and moved his lips to try to explain, zhou Enlai had already continued to say: "What is lost is an important part of the atomic bomb, and if it falls into the hands of the enemy, there will be endless troubles in the future!" It is the big mistake of the '906 factory', you, and me, how do we explain it to the central authorities and the people? Even if we take a step back and say that it is a criminal case, the political and economic losses caused to the country are particularly huge! ”

"Prime Minister, the '906 Factory' Security Department is already investigating this case."

"Such a major case can be solved by the strength of a factory's security department? The Ministry of Public Security wants to send people down and send an investigation team composed of criminal investigation experts and excellent investigators to the '906 Factory'! The sooner the better, fly over! ”

"Okay, I'll set it up."

"After the investigation team goes down, it must handle the case independently. From tomorrow onwards, I will be reported once a day on the progress of the investigation of the case. ”

"Understood!"

5. Damaged Song Brook

On the afternoon of the next day, 8 members of the investigation team of the Ministry of Public Security arrived at the "906 Factory."

In accordance with Zhou Enlai's instructions, Xie Fuzhi, minister of public security, selected an investigation team composed of criminal investigation experts and outstanding investigators: the leader of the group, Zhang Kefeng, a senior criminal investigation expert at the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, served as the leader; among the seven members of the group, Li Du, Ouyang Kun, and Du Feiyong were criminal investigation experts, and the other four were also outstanding investigators with rich criminal investigation practice and who had made many meritorious contributions.

As soon as the investigation team arrived at the "906 Factory," they immediately listened to a briefing by Lin Zhongwu, vice minister of the Ministry of Security, on the theft of the "G-1107." In the past three days, the "906 Factory" special case team has conducted many investigations and interrogations around Song Luchuan's suspicious points, but the case has not made any progress, and Song Luchuan has dealt with the interrogation of the special case team with silence. Lin Zhongwu could not help but feel anxious when he saw that the deadline was approaching, and now that he saw that the Ministry of Public Security had sent an investigation team, he was very happy and gave a very detailed briefing on the situation. After hearing the briefing, the investigation team immediately transferred all the files, read them overnight, and then held a case analysis meeting.

Zhang Kefeng, the head of the investigation team, had previously learned of Song Luchuan's resume from Lin Zhongwu's mouth, and believed that judging from Song Luchuan's consistent performance, he lacked the criminal motive of stealing the "G-1107", and his silence was likely to be another hidden affair, which generally would not be related to this case. Therefore, it is wrong to stare at Song Luchuan's direction of handling the case, and we should find another way to solve the mystery of theft.

How to break this path? Criminal investigation expert Ouyang Kunliang expressed his opinion: Song Luchuan's son, Song Xiaochuan, wrote a loophole in the material, and he said that he saw his father take a white dangling jar home and take it out again after a while. From the perspective of the law of handling the case, Song Xiaochuan's disclosure should have such details - what is the can wrapped in? How big is it? What shape? If the whistleblower does not think of it, the case handler should ask and remind him to write in the material (usually ask first and write the material later). But Song Xiaochuan's material does not contain such details. Therefore, we should ask Song Xiaochuan face to face to find out who is doing it. This manipulator is likely to be related to the case, and from him, there is hope to find out the clues.

Ouyang Kun's views were unanimously agreed by the other members of the investigation team, so he immediately called a duty section chief of the Life Logistics Department to learn about Song Xiaochuan's situation. The section chief briefed the reconnaissance group on Song Xiaochuan's situation --

Song Luchuan was never married, Song Xiaochuan was the son of one of his comrades-in-arms, who died in battle with his wife when his son was just one year old in the middle of the War of Resistance, song Luchuan adopted the child and named him Song Xiaochuan as his son. When Song Xiaochuan was five or six years old, he had a serious illness and became a half-fool after recovering from his illness. But Song Luchuan loved him very much and always took him with him. In 1963, when Song Luchuan came to the "906 Factory", he also brought Song Xiaochuan, who was already a young man in his twenties at that time, still looking stupid. It is reasonable to say that this kind of role cannot be arranged in the "906 Factory", but the factory director looks at Song Luchuan's face and accepts it as an exception, letting him go to the breeding farm below the life logistics office to raise pigs.

When the investigation team heard that Song Xiaochuan was such a character, they became more and more suspicious of the "Exposé Materials" with crooked handwriting from his hand, and also increased their confidence in the view that they could find clues in this case by talking to Song Xiaochuan. At that moment, an investigation plan was agreed upon, and Zhang Kefeng designated criminal investigation expert Du Feiyong and investigator Lao Yu to go to Find Song Xiaochuan the next morning.

It was already midnight, and the crowd was resting.

At about 9:00 a.m. the next day, Du Feiyong and Lao Yu went to the breeding farm of the Life Logistics Department to find Song Xiaochuan. But Song Xiaochuan did not go to work, according to the field director, Song Xiaochuan is a low-energy child, but also the son of the old Red Army, so he is preferentially treated, commuting by himself, is the most free one in the factory. Du and Yu then went to the family area, but General Song Jiatie closed the door and did not even know where Song Xiaochuan was going. Du Feiyong and Lao Yu, relying on the professional intuition of the old detective, vaguely realized that there seemed to be a problem in this, so they immediately went to the guard house of the family area to call, reported the situation to Zhang Kefeng, and suggested that they organize forces to find Song Xiaochuan.

Zhang Kefeng was deeply impressed and immediately got in touch with the factory. Under the order of the "906 Factory" factory department, more than 300 employees from the Security Department, the Life Logistics Department and the family area were resting at home, and the soldiers were searching all over the mountains and fields. At noon, a hunting dog led by three workers in the life logistics department barked wildly at a pile of bushes, they pulled out the bushes, found a person lying inside, and dragged it out to see that it was Song Xiaochuan, who was dead!

Song Xiaochuan's body was transported back to the factory, and forensic expert Li Du, a forensic doctor, immediately borrowed surgical instruments from the "906 Factory" hospital, dissected the body, and concluded: died of suffocation! Song Xiaochuan's temple was first struck by a blunt object to make him unconscious, and then the murderer blocked his mouth and nose with a towel and other textiles to kill him.

Song Xiaochuan's murder surprised people and shocked the investigation team, but at the same time it also made the case situation clearer, which shows that the "strange path" selected by the investigation group is the right one!

What's next? While Zhang Kefeng was considering it, Lin Zhongwu called and said that Song Luchuan, who was being quarantined and censored, offered to meet with someone from the Ministry of Public Security, saying that he "had something to say." Zhang Kefeng said without hesitation, "Okay, I'll come right away!" ”

Song Luchuan was isolated in the security department of the "906 Factory", and this old Red Army was given preferential treatment: a man lived alone in a specially vacated room, and the food was served separately by the canteen of the assembly workshop he led, and the meal had wine and meat, and it was better than usual. The old man has always been lenient with his subordinates, and his popularity is excellent. Good news, it is evident at the end of the day: The cook who came to deliver the meal always quietly delivered news to Song Luchuan every time the meal was delivered, and he knew last night when the Beijing Ministry of Public Security came to the investigation team; just now he got the news that the disobedient son who gave him "planting stolen goods" (the canteen of the assembly workshop was uneven for the old man up and down) was killed. As soon as Song Luchuan heard this, he stopped eating and immediately asked to see the reconnaissance team to speak.

Zhang Kefeng rushed to the security department and invited Song Luchuan into the secret room where the factory director had talked to him a few days ago. After the two sides sat down, Zhang Kefeng introduced himself and sincerely expressed his desire to hear the views of the old comrades on this case.

Song Luchuan said in a heavy tone: "Xiaochuan is already dead, I can open my mouth to explain clearly what I was doing on the day of the case..."

It turned out that Song Luchuan had always treated Song Xiaochuan as his own son, and in the past two years, Song Xiaochuan had grown up and was tossed by a problem: he couldn't find a wife! Don't look at this kid who is stupid and half crazy, sexual function is absolutely normal, more normal than normal people! But the big girl is not marrying your sexual function, I heard that Song Xiaochuan is such a role, who is willing to be on his side? Song Xiaochuan couldn't find his wife, he was so hot that he couldn't stand it, so he ran to a nearby mountain village to pull and pull at the eldest daughter-in-law of the people, and used his hands and feet to plot against him, so he was beaten for this. Song Luchuan looked at this and couldn't go on, this boy might one day commit rape, be arrested by the public security bureau and put in jail, or be beaten to death. In order to avoid such a tragedy, Song Luchuan decided that he would come forward to find a daughter-in-law for his son.

Song Luchuan knew his son's virtue and had self-knowledge, so he did not choose those yellow flower girls, but took a fancy to Liu Cuihua, a bolt warehouse consignor in the assembly workshop. Liu Cuihua is 30 years old, a widow, and was originally a farmer in Henan. Her husband was originally a company commander of the engineering corps, and unfortunately died when building the "906 Factory", leaving two children and unable to live, and the "906 Factory" made an exception to recruit her in. Song Luchuan wanted his son to marry her, afraid that she would not accept it, and was willing to give tens of thousands of yuan of his salary and disability money saved over the years.

On the afternoon of the crime, Song Luchuan waited for the regular day shift workers in the warehouse to leave work, so he quietly went to find Liu Cuihua. When Liu Cuihua saw this old Red Army, who was famous throughout the factory and even the director of the factory was afraid of three points, he was happy and surprised, and quickly gave up his seat. Song Luchuan had something to ask for, and he was polite, so that Liu Cuihua was still sitting in the position opposite the window, and he pulled a small stool and sat behind the door. After saying that, Liu Cuihua pondered for a moment, and finally spoke, saying that she was willing to marry Song Xiaochuan, but she had to write to her mother's and in-laws' families in Henan to seek their opinions, and if they agreed unanimously, the matter would be decided. At the end, Liu Cuihua proposed to Song Luchuan: This matter is only half successful at present, taking into account the factors in case of failure, for Song Xiaochuan to find a new object, this should not be publicized in advance. Liu Cuihua thought so thoughtfully, Song Luchuan nodded.

Song Luchuan and Liu Cuihua did not know that in the few minutes they were talking about this matter, a huge case occurred in the test chamber more than a hundred meters away from the bolt warehouse. When the special case team investigated that night, it looked for everyone, but did not look for Liu Cuihua alone. Why? Because her post was located in the general assembly workshop on the only way to the canteen, she sat at the window, a big fat man of one hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, and wore a red dress, and almost everyone who passed by the window saw her. Because there is a clause in the content of the investigation, "Who did you see during this time", so there are nine times out of ten employees who have talked about her, which is the hardest circumstantial evidence of "not being on the scene", and the special case team will not go to her to inquire in one fell swoop. And Song Luchuan, who was only one meter away from Liu Cuihua, was sitting in a dead corner and no one could see it. When the special case team asked Song Luchuan for questioning, the old man remembered Liu Cuihua's words, and he always remained silent for the sake of his son's marriage. And Liu Cuihua did not know why Song Luchuan was isolated (she never chatted with others, let alone cared about what was happening around her), so she did not testify for the old man.

At noon, after Song Luchuan learned the news of his son's murder from the cook who delivered the meal, he thought that there was no point in remaining silent any longer, so he offered to talk to the investigation team. At the moment, Zhang Kefeng, the leader of the reconnaissance group, listened to Song Luchuan's statement and nodded, thinking that this was the same as last night's analysis. He believed the truth of these words, but as a criminal investigator, what he needed was evidence, so he immediately hung up a phone call to the temporary office of the investigation team and assigned two investigators to immediately go to Liu Cuihua to verify the contents of Song Luchuan's statement.

While waiting for the news, Zhang Kefeng asked Song Luchuan to consider: Who is most likely to be the murderer of Song Xiaochuan?

Song Luchuan asked, "Where did Xiaochuan die?" ”

"In a pile of bushes on Wohugang."

Song Luchuan slapped the table: "That was exactly what Shao Gubin led Xiao Chuan to work, and it will be clear when you find Shao Gubin and ask!" ”

"Who is Shao Gubin?"

"The worker in the service workshop of the logistics department usually has the best relationship with Ogawa, and the two often go to Wohugang together to hunt and have picnics."

Zhang Kefeng wrote down Shao Gubin's name. At this time, the investigation team called: After inquiring liu Cuihua, song Luchuan's statement was true.

Zhang Kefeng took into account the prestige of the security department of the "906 factory" and decided that the security department would still come forward to announce the decision to lift the quarantine review of Song Luchuan. After explaining to Song Luchuan, he hurriedly went to Lin Zhongwu to inform him of the situation, and Lin Zhongwu immediately said that he would immediately ask the factory director to apologize to Song Luchuan, revoke the quarantine review, and clarify the facts to the whole factory through broadcasting.

Zhang Kefeng immediately returned to the temporary office and arranged to investigate the murder of Song Xiaochuan.

6. Veteran scouts who love to hunt

The first step in the investigation was to summon Shao Gubin, a suspect suspected of killing Song Xiaochuan.

Shao Gubin, 25 years old, a worker in the "906 Factory" life logistics department, once worked as a scout in the field army, and his marksmanship was very accurate, and he was good at grappling and fighting. After he came to the "906 factory", he was addicted to hunting. To this end, he took a fancy to a Soviet-made double-barreled shotgun legally owned by Song Xiaochuan (which was given to Song Luchuan when Song Luchuan's old superior came to inspect the "906 Factory"). In order to be able to use this shotgun from time to time, Shao Gubin did not hesitate to "condescend" and make friends with Song Xiaochuan. Dealing with a fool with the mind of a scout is more than enough. Not long after, Song Xiaochuan became Shao Gubin's shadow, where Shao Gubin went he must follow him, he was like a dog or a monkey raised by Shao Gubin, obedient to Shao Gubin's words, and the shotgun naturally became shao Gubin's shoulder. Now, the "shadow" was suddenly killed, and even if Song Luchuan did not say this, the reconnaissance team would have to find Shao Gubin's head with a cursory investigation.

At 2:30 p.m., Shao Gubin came to the temporary office of the investigation team, and when he entered the door, he shouted in a high voice: "I am Shao Gubin!" What are you looking for in me? ”

Investigator Lao Yu asked him to sit down and announced with a serious look: "Shao Gubin, on behalf of the Ministry of Public Security, I went to the '906 Factory' investigation team to announce to you that you have been summoned for interrogation on suspicion of the murder of Song Xiaochuan. You are obliged to truthfully answer the interrogation of you by the Scouting Team. Did you hear me clearly? ”

Shao Gubin's black and white eyes flashed a trace of panic, fleeting, and his voice sounded very calm: "Hear clearly." ”

"What is your relationship with Song Xiaochuan?"

"Song Xiaochuan and I are friends, very good friends."

"Do you know where Song Xiaochuan is now?"

"I heard he's dead."

"Hear?"

Shao Gubin blinked his eyes and explained, "I didn't see the body, so I had to say 'I heard'." ”

"Where did you hear he died?"

"I heard it's in Wohugang."

Forensic expert Li Duji asked, "Do you know who Song Xiaochuan went to Wohugang with?" ”

"If he hasn't come down since he went to the gang at 8:30 a.m., then the last companion he'll go up to is me."

"Tell me about the specifics."

"Song Xiaochuan made an appointment with me yesterday and asked me to go to his house this morning to call him up the mountain to hunt hares together." I went to call him after eight o'clock in the morning, and the two of them went up the hill together. Walking up the mountainside, I found that I had forgotten to bring the ingredients for the picnic, so I asked him to wait there, and I went back to get it. But by the time I took the ingredients and went up the mountain again, Song Xiaochuan was gone. I shouted and looked for him for a while, but I didn't find it, because he was carrying a shotgun, and I couldn't hit the hare anymore, so I went down the mountain alone. ”

"Shao Gubin, who can testify to you about all this?"

"No one could testify because there was no third person present."

The interrogation lasted for two full hours, and Shao Gubin repeated these few words. Although the situation he said is similar to the plot that appears in some Chinese and foreign detective novels, it is not unreasonable to appear in daily life, so it is reasonable. Li Du and Lao Yu, who served as interrogators, could not ask anything famous, so they stopped asking and left the interrogated person aside, where the two sat smoking cigarettes and chatting.

Shao Gubin sat bored for a while and muttered to himself, "Fuck! What is the point of sitting like this? ”

Shao Gubin muttered this several times before finally standing up: "Hey! Do you have anything else to ask? I went back without it! He said, turning to leave.

Old Yu called out to him: "Slow! The summons is not over yet, you can't go! ”

Shao Gubin was furious, his face was red, and he said, "Call Lao Tzu to come, ask for a while and then don't ask, you just talk about yourself, of course Lao Tzu wants to leave!" ”

While Zheng Gao was shouting in a loud voice, Zhang Kefeng and several scouts walked in from outside. Lao Yu pointed at Zhang Kefeng and said in a quiet voice, "This is our group leader, Shao Gubin, what opinions do you have on our work?" ”

Shao Gubin saw that Zhang Kefeng's temperament was extraordinary, and his heart was first timid, and he eased his tone and repeated what he had already said. Zhang Kefeng asked him to sit down again and said, "Shao Gubin, you may not remember the events of the morning clearly enough, I will show you a photo, and you may remember something after reading it." ”

Zhang Kefeng motioned to criminal investigation expert Du Feiyong to take out a 10-inch black-and-white photo with half a unclear footprint on it: "Shao Gubin, you are a scout, of course, you know the meaning of the footprints found at the murder scene..."

Shao Gubin interrupted, "This is not mine!" I haven't been there at all! ”

Zhang Kefeng smiled slightly: "You probably think that this footprint is too vague to be easy to identify?" Well, I can show you another piece of evidence..." He took a piece of paper from a cardboard holder and shook it, "You may remember when you entered this room earlier, one of our comrades patted you on the shoulder very 'friendly'?" He took off a hair that was stained on your clothes, and we just went to the hospital for a technical identification and found that it was the same person as the hair obtained at the murder scene. You probably suffer from 'sebum alopecia', how do you lose your hair? ”

Shao Gubin's face changed and became as white as paper, and he figured out why Li Du and Lao Yu were chatting, it turned out that they were waiting for the results of technical appraisal! He sat there, his eyes confused, beads of sweat gushing, and muttered, "Anyway... I didn't kill anyone anyway! ”

"You didn't kill Song Xiaochuan!" Because with your ability to be a scout, to kill him does not need to use textiles to block the mouth and nose of the deceased. However, you played a role in this case! How about it, do you give your own account and strive for leniency, or do you let us point it out to you and then resist the account and punish it severely? ”

Shao Gubin didn't say a word, he looked down at the ground, and beads of sweat large in bean grains came out of his forehead, and drop by drop fell to the floor.

"Give you three minutes to think!"

A minute later, Shao Gubin looked up at Zhang Kefeng: "I am willing to confess." ”

"Say it."

"Someone else tricked Song Xiaochuan into going up the mountain." I coaxed Song Xiaochuan to the mountain as he said, and then pretended to have forgotten to bring picnic ingredients and went back to get it, and asked him to wait for me on the mountain, and he agreed. I didn't expect Song Xiaochuan to be killed at all, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed. ”

"Who is the man you are talking about?" "Bao Yuanchang of the Ministry of Security." "What is your relationship with Bao Yuanchang?"

"I have the handle in his hands -- last winter, when he had not yet been transferred to the security officer of the test press room, working in the factory security department, one night, I took advantage of the night shift and engaged in relations with a female worker in the small warehouse of the quilt workshop, just when Bao Yuanchang patrolled the night and found out..."

"Why did Bao Yuanchang let you trick Song Xiaochuan into going to the mountains?"

"Well, he didn't say it."

Seventh, Li Lingzhi dim Bao Yuanchang

The tentacles of the reconnaissance reached out to Bao Yuanchang.

The investigator re-read the "statement record" of the staff on duty in the assembly workshop on the night of the crime, and found that the special case team omitted Bao Yuanchang, who was also in the workshop at the time of the crime. Originally, the case-handling personnel at that time thought that Bao Yuanchang was also a member of the special case team, and he had done circumstantial evidence that Li Fulin, the duty chief of the test room, was "not at the scene", so on the basis of trust, he took it for granted that Bao Yuanchang was definitely not at the scene. This discovery elevated Bao Yuanchang from a suspected homicide to a major suspect in the theft of "G-1107"!

Zhang Kefeng, the leader of the investigation team, then made a decision: immediately arrest Bao Yuanchang!

The investigators drove to the family area, but Bao Yuanchang, who should have been at home, was not at home! I went to the security department and the production area of the factory, and I didn't see any trace!

Zhang Kefeng immediately informed the party committee of the "906 factory" of the case. The secretary of the party committee and the director of the factory categorically ordered: The whole plant stopped production, and all went out to search for Bao Yuanchang!

Nearly 30,000 people searched the forbidden area of the "906 Factory" within a radius of tens of miles overnight, and found no trace of Bao Yuanchang. Apparently, the cunning suspect had fled the forbidden zone. The investigation team then hung up the long distance to Beijing, reported the situation to the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security, and recommended that the whole country wanted.

At 11 a.m., Minister of Public Security Xie Fuzhi issued a warrant for his arrest, ordering public security organs throughout the country to arrest Bao Yuanchang, a key criminal in the "G-1107" special case. The materials bearing Bao Yuanchang's photographs, characteristics and curriculum vitae were quickly sent by fax to the public security departments (bureaus) of all provinces, municipalities directly under the Central Government, and autonomous regions.

At that time, the "great revolutionary tandem" was prevailing throughout the country, the heavenly soldiers were coming down, and the order was in chaos, which posed a great obstacle to the arrest of criminals. But the police tried their best to overcome the interference, and within a short period of time, they found clues to the suspects. The situation was reported to the Ministry of Public Security, and Zhang Kefeng and the criminal investigation experts of the investigation group analyzed it overnight and formulated a plan for the pursuit of the case. The next day, eight members of the reconnaissance team boarded a Chinese civilian flight and flew to Nanjing. With the vigorous assistance of the Jiangsu Provincial Public Security Department and the Nanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau, Bao Yuanchang, who pretended to be a college student," was finally arrested late that night from the "Cultural Revolution Tandem Reception Station" of Nanjing University.

Bao Yuanchang carried a travel bag containing toiletries and a change of clothes, and there was no "G-1107". Faced with the reconnaissance team's barrage of questions, this security officer who was born as a soldier and wore a police uniform was silent and remained stubbornly silent. Perhaps, knowing that he was guilty of the utmost evil and would not be able to escape death, he refused to reveal the whereabouts of the G-1107 in order to stay in this world as long as possible. He knew that as a case of such magnitude, he would not be executed hastily if the stolen goods were not found.

Several experts took turns to launch a powerful psychological offensive against the criminals, interrogating for 13 and a half hours, but Bao Yuanchang did not open his mouth. Zhang Kefeng then ordered the interrogation to be suspended, and Bao Yuanchang was first imprisoned in Nanjing Laohuqiao Prison (a major case undetermined prisoner in consignment). Bao Yuanchang did not sleep all night, entered the single cell vacated for him, and fell asleep. The members of the reconnaissance team were tired and unable to sleep, and several people gathered to discuss how to recover the G-1107.

Zhang Kefeng asked Bao Yuanchang to take his travel bag, the documents he carried with him, the banknotes, food stamps, pens, and clothes he had changed after entering the "Tiger Bridge" and conducted a strict search. After more than half an hour, forensic expert Ouyang Kun had a harvest - he found a plastic paper roll from the ballpoint refill of the "dual-purpose pen" (pen, ballpoint pen), pulled out the tip of the pen, poked it out with a wire, carefully wiped off the oil stain, and looked at it, this plastic paper with the size of a matchbox was pierced with a needle to make a simple pattern. As soon as Ouyang Kun took a look, he immediately recognized that it was a coordinate map.

The experts then identified the plastic paper, and based on the vague color marks that remained on it, after two hours of comparison and identification, it was finally determined that this was a corner of the wrapping paper of soda biscuits exported by a food factory in Nanjing. After investigation with the food factory, it was learned that all the products of the factory were sold to railway stations, coach stations and ship terminals. Looking at the reception station of Nanjing University again, the registration book shows that Bao Yuanchang stayed at the station at 7:00 p.m. the night before, and the time he arrived in Nanjing was 4:00 p.m. (the registration book has his own time), and these three hours removed the more than one hour from the railway station to the Nanjing University reception station and the queue for registration, leaving him with only one and a half hours of activity time. The reconnaissance team then concluded that Bao Yuanchang had buried the "G-1107" he was carrying somewhere during this time, and then left coordinates in the corner of the biscuit wrapper.

Zhang Kefeng waved his hand: "All go out, go around the station!" ”

A group of 8 people from the reconnaissance team came to the railway station and divided into four groups to circle around, looking for a suitable location for burying things similar to the coordinate map. More than half an hour later, Du Feiyong and another investigator found a location exactly the same distance as the marker marked on the coordinate map in a small secluded park more than a mile away from the railway station. It was a flower bed between a tall, lush ancient ginkgo tree and a white corridor, and in the middle of the flower bed was a circle of more than two meters in diameter formed by several holly trees, and from the coordinate map, "G-1107" was buried in this circle.

The investigation team made a phone call to the Nanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau. In a few moments, several police cars roared in, and the public security personnel who got out of the car immediately surrounded the scene. Zhang Kefeng dug with a shovel for a while, and soon dug up an iron box wrapped tightly in plastic paper, opened it, and everyone laughed and laughed - inside was a silver "G1107".

At this time, it was exactly eighteen days before the time of the crime.

In the face of the evidence of the crime, Bao Yuanchang had to confess the motive and course of the crime: It turned out that when Bao Yuanchang was a soldier, the troops were stationed in a certain coastal area in Fujian Province, and he met a local resident surnamed Xie and hooked up with Xie's daughter to commit adultery. In the past two years, Xie has taken advantage of the opportunity to go out to sea to fish, participated in smuggling, and often carried gold and silver antiques on the high seas to make dirty transactions with lawbreakers outside the country. A few months ago, Bao Yuanchang went to Fujian on a business trip and made a special trip to visit Xie's father and daughter. Xie Mou knew that Bao Yuanchang was working in a secret factory, so he instigated him to steal platinum and promised to buy it with a huge amount of money, and his daughter also instigated it. Bao Yuanchang was oblivious in front of "wealth" and "color", and Li Lingzhi fainted and agreed. After returning from a business trip, Bao Yuanchang took advantage of his work in the Ministry of Security to secretly spy and formulate a criminal plan. In order to realize this plan, he took the initiative to request to be transferred to the security team of the general assembly workshop of the Ministry of Security, went to the test press room as a security officer, and took the opportunity to steal the keys to the test press room and the safe.

That day, Bao Yuanchang waited for the opportunity and made a decisive move. After committing the crime, he used the trick of taking the initiative to testify for the duty chief Li Fulin to pass the pass. Later, he learned that Song Luchuan had become a suspect, and was overjoyed, and in order to blame others, he took advantage of the opportunity to investigate Song Xiaochuan and instructed Song Xiaochuan to give perjury. After Song Luchuan was isolated and examined, Bao Yuanchang was secretly happy. Knowing that the storm suddenly changed, the Ministry of Public Security sent an investigation team, he was eating public security meals, naturally knew the fame of Zhang Kefeng and other criminal investigation experts, and secretly panicked under the panic. After a panic, he messed up the square inches and rushed to decide to kill people and kill his mouth. The next morning, he instructed Shao Gubin to trick Song Xiaochuan into going up the mountain and brutally killing him. Unexpectedly, this hand was too clumsy, but it accelerated his exposure, and in desperation, he had to flee in a hurry.

A month later, the political and legal department held a public judgment meeting at the "906 Factory" and sentenced Bao Yuanchang, a murderer and thief, to death and immediately executed.

At this point, the theft of atomic bomb parts came to an end.
