In late August 1949, the First Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army directly pounded Lanzhou and swept through the northwest with a thunderous momentum, and it was only a matter of time before the next step was to liberate Xinjiang.
For the defeat of the remnants of the Kuomintang, how to better take over Xinjiang and maintain public order in Xinjiang after liberation has become the top priority.
Therefore, before the PLA troops entered Xinjiang, the CPC Central Committee had already decided on the selection of the director of the Xinjiang Public Security Department.
One day in mid-September, Liu Huping, director of the Political Department of the Fourth Army of the Second Corps, was ordered to lanzhou to receive a mission.
As soon as he arrived in Lanzhou, he was taken to the office of Gan Siqi, director of the Political Department of the First Field Army.
Gan Siqi beckoned Liu Huping to sit down, then poured a cup of boiling water, and after a little greeting, said to Liu Huping: "Xinjiang will soon be liberated, and the Central Organization Department has decided to transfer you to Xinjiang. ”
At that time, Liu Huping was very surprised, because the notice he had received before was to let him take up a post in Beijing, and it was quite strange that he was suddenly allowed to take up a post in Xinjiang.
Seeing Liu Huping's surprise, Gan Siqi continued: "When you went to Xinjiang to serve as the head of the public security department, after arriving there, you mainly had two tasks, the first was to find the bones of Comrades Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, and other comrades who were killed by Sheng Shicai, and the second was to catch the murderer who brutalized the martyr in that year, and none of them could be missed. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Huping also knows why he was chosen to carry out this task, because Liu Huping was also detained by Sheng Shicai in Xinjiang, and he was a fellow prisoner with Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu and others, and this time he came to Xinjiang to let him avenge his fellow prisoners.
It is said that the Xinjiang warlord Sheng Shicai once arrested communists on a large scale and left a blood debt, so what kind of grudge did Sheng Shicai have with the Communist Party?
In order to continue to gain the support of the Soviet Union, Sheng Shicai disguised himself as a pro-Soviet and pro-Communist warlord in an attempt to use the power of the Communist Party to oppose Chiang Kai-shek.
After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Xinjiang's economy withered, so Sheng Shicai invited the Communist Party of China to join Xinjiang to help him govern.
In February 1938, the Party Central Committee sent a large number of cadres to Xinjiang to help Sheng Shicai manage Xinjiang, including Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, and Liu Huping.
However, after the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, the Soviet Union had to withdraw all the Soviet troops in Xinjiang in order to cope with the battlefield on the Western Front, and Sheng Shicai believed that the Soviet Union was no longer reliable, so he began to turn to Chiang Kai-shek and implement an anti-communist policy.
In the spring of 1942, Sheng Shicai concocted the appalling "April 12 Conspiracy Riot Case", arresting and imprisoning Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, and a large number of other Communist Party members.
However, the CPC Central Committee has always been unclear about what happened in Xinjiang, and was unaware of the sacrifice of Comrades Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, and others, during which time it also sent Lin Boqu as a representative to Chongqing to negotiate with the Kuomintang authorities, demanding that the Kuomintang order the release of those arrested in various places, especially those arrested in Xinjiang.
In the 1945 Negotiations in Chongqing between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China, Chairman Mao, in a solemn statement on September 2 proposing the release of all patriotic political prisoners, specifically proposed the release of Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, Lin Jilu and other three people, but there was no response from the Kuomintang authorities.
In March 1946, General Zhang Zhizhong was appointed director of the Kuomintang Northwest Expedition and chairman of the Xinjiang Provincial Government, and Zhou Enlai deliberately traveled for him in Chongqing, where he solemnly requested: "Please release my detainees as soon as possible after General Zhang arrives in Xinjiang, especially the safety of Zhou Bin (Mao Zemin's pseudonym) and Xu Jie (Chen Tanqiu's pseudonym), which needs to be taken care of." ”
Zhang Zhizhong was a patriotic general who had a good personal relationship with Zhou Enlai and was also touched by the sincerity of the Chinese Communists, so after arriving in Dihua (present-day Urumqi), he took advantage of the favorable opportunity at that time to force Chiang Kai-shek to agree to the unconditional release of all the DETAINE detainees in Xinjiang.
The first from the left is General Zhang Zhizhong
However, Zhang Zhizhong searched the prison and did not find the whereabouts of Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, and Lin Jilu.
On July 11, 1946, under Zhang Zhizhong's arrangement, 129 comrades and their families arrested in Xinjiang were released and returned to Yan'an in large trucks, including Liu Huping.
When these comrades arrived in Yan'an, Zhu De, Ren Bishi, Lin Boqu, and other central leaders personally greeted them; the next day, the central authorities set up a banquet to receive them, and Chairman Mao cordially shook hands with them one by one to express his condolences.
In fact, Chairman Mao's inner mood at that time was mixed with sorrow and joy, happy that so many comrades had returned safely, and sad that three important cadres, including his brother Mao Zemin, had not yet heard from them.
The only thing that pleased him was that Mao Zemin married Zhu Danhua in Xinjiang and gave birth to a son, Mao Yuanxin, in 1941.
After the banquet, Zhu Danhua took his son to visit Chairman Mao, and Chairman Mao was very excited to see his five-year-old nephew, and he clasped Zhu Danhua's hand tightly and said, "You have suffered." ”
A few days later, the Party Central Committee held a memorial meeting in Yan'an for the Chinese Communists who died in Xinjiang, at which Zhu Danhua delivered a memorial service on behalf of the liberated people in Xinjiang.
Because the exact whereabouts of Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, and Lin Jilu had not yet been obtained at this time, and it was not certain whether they had been sacrificed, they were not among the memorials.
It was only after a few years that the Party Central Committee gradually learned of the murder of mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, Lin Jilu, and three other important cadres.
Martyr Mao Zemin
However, how mao Zemin and three other cadres were killed? Who exactly executed the murderer? Where are you buried after death? It has always been a mystery in the hearts of Comrades Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and other comrades, and has always been concerned.
When Xinjiang was about to be liberated, on September 11, 1949, chairman Mao sent a telegram to the headquarters of the First Field Army instructing: We must send people to Xinjiang to unveil the mystery of the sacrifice of Mao Zemin and other comrades.
After Peng Dehuai received Chairman Mao's telegram, he directly ordered Liu Huping to complete this arduous task.
During his imprisonment, Liu Huping had been imprisoned with Mao Zemin, and how could he not be angry at Mao Zemin's sacrifice, for many years he had been inquiring about the whereabouts of his fellow prisoners.
After accepting the task, Liu Huping said to Gan Siqi in a categorical manner: "Rest assured chief, I will definitely work hard to complete the task!" ”
Gan Siqi said to Liu Huping: "In this work, Noji is going to return to the party Central Committee and Chairman Mao, and I believe that you will not fail to live up to the high expectations of General Peng, this work is suitable for you, and you are also an old director of the security bureau." ”
In addition to being a fellow prisoner with Mao Zemin, Liu Huping also has a special identity, that is, the old revolutionary who has been engaged in the work of security and public security in Yan'an, and has been serving as a reconnaissance and defense worker since joining the Red Army in 1928.
Since the third anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, he has served as an officer in the Political Protection Bureau of the Political Department of the Red Army, and after arriving in Yan'an, he was named by the Central Ministry of Social Affairs as the first director of the Public Security Bureau in Yan'an.
More than ten years of complex revolutionary struggles and front-line experience in defense work have made him a well-known master of solving cases in the military.
On November 28, 1949, with the eagerness to avenge the martyrs, Liu Huping rushed to Xinjiang, recalling his previous arrests and experiences with Mao Zemin, which made him very sad and indignant.
At that time, the Xinjiang Branch of the CPC Central Committee had just been established, and the office was located in the former Sheng Shicai's Office Building in Dihua City.
Liu Huping's first task was to set up a public security department, and the experienced Liu Huping knew that an iron guard team was the premise of all work.
The sub-bureau also gave special support to his work, asking for money and money, and wanting people, as long as it was someone Liu Huping's favorite, they all listened to his arrangements, and soon, the work of the Public Security Department was on the right track.
On the fourth day of Liu Huping's arrival in Dihua, he arranged for staff to begin to consult several cabinets of enemy and pseudo-archives that he had received, instructing them to pay attention to the clues about Mao Zemin and other martyrs found in them. Then he arranged for comrades to devote themselves to the work of cracking the case and registering the secret agent's voluntary surrender.
Soon, Liu Huping got a clue that the Liudaowan Cemetery on the outskirts of Dihua was the execution ground of the warlord Sheng Shicai during the reign of the warlord Sheng Shicai in Xinjiang, and Sheng Shicai's agents often took "prisoners" to this cemetery to be killed.
Early the next morning after receiving the news, although it was still snowing heavily, Liu Huping took the staff to the Liudaowan Cemetery in a jeep, and he knew that if Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu and other comrades were sacrificed, they would probably be killed here, so he wanted to see if there were any clues.
After arriving at the cemetery, Liu Huping was stunned, there were countless large and small deserted graves, only a few of which had tombstones piled up, and most of them had not been inscribed.
Liu Huping still walked around the cemetery with the staff for two hours to see if he could find a clue, and finally left with disappointment.
For this setback, in fact, Liu Huping has already prejudged, after all these years have passed, it is not a simple thing to investigate the case clearly.
Liu Huping knew very well that the best way to find the mystery of the murder of Mao Zemin and others was to start with the agent of Sheng Shicai at that time, but after all, it was a long time ago, and it could only be found from the enemy and false information.
After a period of searching, one night at 11 o'clock, when Liu Huping and the staff were quietly flipping through the materials, a comrade shouted excitedly: "Director Liu, the interrogation record, it is Mao Zemin's!" ”
Liu Huping reflexively stood up, then took the file and looked at it with his eyes wide open.
The time was the morning of May 5, 1943, the interrogator was Ji Yuanpu, the interrogator was Zhou Bin, and everyone knew that Zhou Bin was Mao Zemin's pseudonym.
Liu Huping already knew that this Ji Yuanpu was sent to Xinjiang by Chiang Kai-shek in March 1943 to help Sheng Shicai concoct the "evidence" of the so-called "Communist Party April 12 Conspiracy Riot Case" and despicablely persecute Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu and others.
In this interrogation record, Ji Yuanpu used intimidation, inducement, and other means to make Mao Zemin abandon the position of a Communist Party member, but Mao Zemin's righteousness was awe-inspiringly rejected.
The case-handling personnel who have read Mao Zemin's interrogation record are all touched by Mao Zemin's indomitable chastity.
After a brief period of emotional fluctuations, Liu Huping thought through the interrogation record that the person who was performing the task at that time was the executive team under the Public Security Administration, including the names of several managers, and there were more than a dozen people in this team, and as long as one of them was caught, clues could be found.
Because at that time, the public security organs cracked down on many secret service organizations, and as many as twenty or thirty secret agents were arrested, and some of them may know the situation of the execution team.
Liu Huping immediately organized an interrogation in this regard and obtained an important clue, in which an agent confessed that he had met Zhang Sixin, the leader of the executive team during the Sheng Shicai period, in Wuwei, Gansu Province, a month before his arrest.
After Liu Huping got the clue, he immediately arranged for the head of the reconnaissance section to take this agent to Wuwei to arrest Zhang Sixin.
After more than ten days of control, the Wuwei Public Security Bureau sent a message that Zhang Sixin had been arrested in Wuwei.
Liu Huping immediately sent them to Dihua, where he personally interrogated him and asked him directly how he killed Mao Zemin.
Zhang Sixin listened to Liu Huping's questioning and didn't care very much, in his opinion, this Liu Huping didn't know anything about this at all, and he still had luck, so he hummed and explained: "I don't care about prison, and the killing does not belong to me." ”
Liu Huping knew that Zhang Sixin was hard in his mouth, and it seemed that if he didn't take some hard materials out, he wouldn't confess, so he said: "What do you do when you execute the captain and don't kill people?" They all say that you don't see the coffin and don't shed tears, and sure enough, it is so! Obviously left a record, there is Li Yingqi's signature, you still deny, see for yourself! ”
After seeing the interrogation records, Zhang Sixin roared like five thunderbolts, and suddenly said in horror: "I, I confessed!" It was killed by a few of us. ”
In order to seek leniency, Zhang Sixin quickly confessed all the information he knew...
On August 29, 1942, in order to win over Sheng Shicai, Chiang Kai-shek specially sent Soong Mei Ling to Fly to Dihua and conveyed to Sheng Shicai Chiang Kai-shek's content on "purging the Communist Party of Xinjiang", which meant telling Sheng Shicai that if he wanted to turn to the Kuomintang, he must oppose communism.
A few days after Song Meiling left Xinjiang, Sheng Shicai arrested the CCP personnel in Xinjiang at that time, including their families and children, with lightning speed, especially mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, and several other high-ranking cadres, who used coercion and inducement to force them to leave the party and oppose communism.
Under severe torture, Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, Lin Jilu, and three other senior cadres remained unyielding and did not betray the party organization.
Li Yingqi, director of the public security management department in charge of the case at that time, and Fu Baolian, director of the adjudication committee, were even scolded by Sheng Shicai all the time.
At the behest of Sheng Shicai, Li Yingqi began to use even more brutal methods of torture to extract confessions, and the torture of stabbing palms, taking planes, and tiger stools took turns, but what he still got was the refutation of Mao Zemin's righteous words.
Chen Tanqiu
After beating Mao Zemin for seven days and seven nights, they still gained nothing.
On September 25, 1942, Chiang Kai-shek invited Sheng Shicai to Chongqing to attend the Kuomintang Constitutional Convention, and in order to "surrender his name" to Chiang Kai-shek, Sheng Shicai gave Li Yingqi and Fu Baolian the order to secretly kill Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, and Lin Jilu.
On the night of September 27, Li Yingqi and Fu Baolian called Zhang Sixin and asked him to kill people, so Zhang Sixin arranged four or five killers according to the "old method", armed with thick wooden sticks and ropes.
Li Yingqi asked the jailer to detain Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, and Lin Jilu, and then said, "The inspector will ask you questions."
Zhang Sixin and several executioners simultaneously slammed the three of them in the head with a stuffy stick, and then tightened it around their necks with a rope, squeezing them tighter and tighter until they all suffocated to death, which is what Zhang Sixin called the "old method"...
When Zhang Sixin was about to continue, Liu Huping could not suppress the anger in his chest, and then asked: "Where are they buried, do you remember?" ”
Zhang Sixin said: "Remember, remember, buried in Liudao Bay, that place I went to again later, because the military commander wanted to take pictures, and I took people to pick up the graves." ”
Hearing Zhang Sixin say that after burying the bones of the martyrs, in order to verify the right body, they dug them out to take pictures, and when they heard this, all the case-handling personnel had long been indignant, and if it were not for the purpose of solving the case, they would have to find other murderers, and if it were not for strict organizational discipline, they would have long wanted to bury Zhang Sixin alive.
Led by Zhang Sixin, they once again went to the Liudaowan Cemetery and found three side-by-side grave bags on a hillside.
Everyone hurriedly dug up the grave, and sure enough, three coffinless corpses were found, indicating that Zhang Sixin did not lie, but after six years, the corpses had long been unrecognizable, but Zhang Sixin remembered very clearly, saying that the first was Chen Tanqiu, the second was Mao Zemin, and the third was Lin Jilu.
Liu Huping and his comrades looked at the remains of the three Bai Sensens, and their hearts surged with mourning, they consciously stood in a row, held a simple memorial ceremony, and then reburied the grave, waiting for the coffin to be moved to the burial in the future, and a wooden plaque with a name was erected in front of each grave.
Liu Huping told himself in his heart that he must catch the other murderers of the martyrs in order to comfort the martyrs' spirits in heaven.
After Liu Xinxin's arrest, Li Yingqi, another culprit who killed Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu and other martyrs, became the focus of the hunt.
According to Zhang Sixin's confession, Li Yingqi is now in Beijing, running a business with a car.
Liu Huping immediately sent two highly capable investigators to Beijing, and informed the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau of the situation, asking the public security organs to cooperate with the visit.
However, a long time passed, but there was no news at all, and the two investigators who went to Beijing had to return without results, which made Liu Huping's heart feel as uncomfortable as pressing a stone, and when he couldn't sleep at night, he wondered, where did this Li Yingqi hide?
As sheng shicai's first executioner, Liu Huping knew about Li Yingqi for a long time.
Li Yingqi and Sheng Shi were fellow countrymen, originally serving as a major aide-de-camp in the "People's Salvation Army" of Heilongjiang Province, Su Bing's Cultural Department, after the September 18 Incident, Su Bing's Ministry of Culture withdrew to the Soviet Union in 1933, and he also came to Dihua with the troops to serve as a quartermaster in Sheng Shicai's First Infantry Brigade.
Although he is a quartermaster, he is fierce in dealing with his subordinates, originally such a person is not flattering, but he is on the opposite side of Sheng Shicai, who in order to consolidate his rule in Xinjiang, plans to establish a secret service system in Xinjiang, and what he needs is a fierce person.
Soon, Li Yingqi was promoted to deputy director of the Xinjiang court, and later promoted to the director of the public security management department, which was a bad thing in Xinjiang and caused many people to be dissatisfied.
In 1941, Chen Tanqiu, a representative of the CPC office in Xinjiang, learned of Li Yingqi's notoriety and specifically said in a telegram to the Central Committee: "... The superintendent (Sheng Shicai) relied on the barrel of a gun to govern Xinjiang... The Public Security Administration Office itself has a big problem, and Li Yingqi is the most effective repression tool for the supervision. ”
What Chen Tanqiu did not expect was that soon after, he also sacrificed at the hands of this demon, and during sheng shicai's rule in Xinjiang, Li Yingqi did a lot of bad things, all relying on sheng shicai to cover him, so that he could sleep soundly.
However, what Li Yingqi did not expect was that after Sheng Shicai fell to Chiang Kai-shek in an all-round way, he was quickly kicked away by Chiang Kai-shek, and after gaining control of Xinjiang, Chiang Kai-shek transferred Sheng Shicai to Chongqing as minister of agriculture and forestry in September 1944.
Clear-eyed people know that from a local powerful faction like the "King of Xinjiang" to a virtual post like minister of agriculture and forestry, it means the end of Sheng Shicai's political life.
Sheng Shicai
The same as Sheng Shicai was worried about retaliation was his executioner Li Yingqi, Li Yingqi learned of this appointment, immediately sneaked to Lanzhou, Sheng Shicai was still interesting enough, called him to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry as the director of general affairs, Li Yingqi is not stupid, knowing that Sheng Shicai can no longer cover him, so he found an excuse to resign.
Sheng Shicai did not want to go, so he found a vacant post for Li Yingqi to consult, and did not go to office, usually hiding in Lanzhou.
However, after two years in Lanzhou, he felt that it was still a little close to Xinjiang, and he had killed so many people in Xinjiang before, and there were many enemies, and every night when he slept, he was worried about being recognized by the enemy family, so he simply found a relationship and ran to Beiping to do business.
In this way, Li Yingqi was like the evaporation of the human world, there was no news of him, and Zhang Sixin had a little clue, this Li Yingqi was doing business in Beiping and had a car.
There are too few clues to this point, Beijing is too big, and to find someone in Beijing with this bit of information is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, let alone a reactionary with strong anti-reconnaissance ability.
At that time, Liu Huping did not catch Li Yingqi, and he could not eat well, sleep well, and his expression was more haggard than before.
After Wang Zhen saw this, he comforted him and said, "Hu Ping, don't worry, how can you do such a situation?" ”
After hearing this, Liu Huping smiled and said, "Don't hide from the old chief, I am really anxious in my heart, but it will not help, and I have to find clues in many ways." ”
Wang
To this end, Liu Huping sent a telegram to his fellow inmates who had squatted in a prison in Dihua and were still working in Beijing, because they had all seen Li Yingqi, so they asked them to help find it in Beijing.
Although he did not pin his hopes on this stupid method, he finally did his best to obey his destiny.
In June 1950, a fellow prisoner who was detained with Liu Huping in Dihua Prison called him and said, "Someone saw a man who looked very similar to Li Yingqi set up a cigarette stall on the streets of Xidan in Beijing, next to a woman with a lunch box. ”
Liu Huping took the phone, compared to the previous sluggishness, suddenly came to the head of the spirit, thinking, if the person who set up the cigarette stall is Li Yingqi, then the person next to him may be Li Yingqi's wife.
This was an important clue, so he immediately interrogated Zhang Sixin and asked him if Li Yingqi had a wife and what his wife looked like.
On the other hand, he quickly arranged for the scouts to go to Beijing again, and with the assistance of the Beijing public security organs, he quickly found the woman on the street of Xidan who was talking about on the phone, but he did not find a tobacco dealer who looked like Li Yingqi.
It turned out that before the scouts arrived in Beijing, the tobacco dealer was selling cigarettes on the street as usual, when he suddenly met a Uighur man, who stood in front of the tobacco stall for a while and looked at the tobacco dealer for a while.
The tobacco dealer immediately collected his stalls and went home, leaving Beijing the next day, and his wife had to continue selling cigarettes.
The scouts who rushed from Xinjiang to Beijing carefully observed the woman's physical characteristics from a distance according to Liu Huping's instructions, and then passed this information to Liu Huping by telephone, and after checking with Zhang Sixin, basically confirmed that she was Li Yingqi's wife.
It turned out that Li Yingqi was originally suspicious, and when he saw a Xinjiang person who was worried that he was his enemy, after seeing a Uyghur on that day, he fled because he was afraid.
However, the problem arises, now that Li Yingqi has no news, how can Li Yingqi appear?
The Beijing public security organs did not rush to act, but discussed the strategy of wanquan, and at that time they were counting household registrations, so why not take this opportunity to let Li Yingqi take the initiative to appear?
A few days later, the police from the street police station came to Li's house for household registration, when asked about the head of the household, Li Yingqi's wife said that the man went outside, and the police then asked her to inform the man to come back to register, after the time can not register, when it is inconvenient to do anything, even the tobacco stall may not be allowed to be placed.
This is their family's livelihood plan, how can they not sell cigarettes, after the police this scare, Li Yingqi's wife immediately wrote a letter to Li Yingqi, asking him to come back quickly.
The public security officers had already laid a net near her home, waiting for Li Yingqi to return.
Because the whole country was registering for the household registration at that time, Li Yingqi had many inconveniences in moving outside, and the night he received his wife's letter, he thought about it a lot, and he had been hesitating, and he also suspected that the public security personnel wanted to arrest him, but he thought again, how many years have passed, the clues have been broken, how can he be found.
With the psychology of luck, Li Yingqi returned to Beijing, but when he just stepped into the house, he was caught by the public security personnel, and a large group of public security officers with guns and live ammunition surrounded him.
Then a police officer came up to him and asked, "Are you Li Yingqi?" ”
Li Yingqi knew that he could not be good today, and there was no point in saying that he was not, so he nodded.
Then the public security cadres and police quickly rushed up and handcuffed Li Yingqi, and at the same time, another major murderer, Fu Baolian, was also arrested in Fushun, Liaoning Province, where all the main murderers who had killed Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, and other martyrs were arrested.
When Li Yingqi, Fu Baolian, and other executioners who had committed wrongdoing in Xinjiang were escorted back to Xinjiang, Liu Huping immediately issued a proclamation on behalf of the Xinjiang Provincial Public Security Department: The executioners who slaughtered the people of Xinjiang have been escorted to this city, and those who have been persecuted by Li Bandits and Rich Bandits are invited to complain...
As soon as the announcement was issued, dozens or even hundreds of complainants came to the reception room of the Public Security Department every day, and they indignantly declared their deep hatred and strong demand that they personally execute these murderous demons.
In order to let the people vent their anger, Liu Huping decided to let Li Yingqi and Fu Baolian parade the streets to show the public, put them on the truck, walk on the street, and along the way, the people angrily rushed forward and wanted to beat them to death.
Thanks to the obstruction of public security fighters, they did not die on the street, and then Liu Huping personally organized interrogations.
At the beginning, Li Yingqi did not admit that he was Li Yingqi, and when Liu Huping said, "We are 'old friends'", Li Yingqi recognized that he was "Peng Jian" in prison that year, and said in horror: "I have a deep sin, I deserve to die." ”
However, Li Yingqi, who was afraid of death, only admitted his guilt at this time, and when it came to the killing of Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, and others, he pushed it on the head of others and saw that Li Yingqi refused to admit guilt.
Liu Huping asked the staff to take out the file files of that year, as well as the murder report and some original materials issued by him, so that he could slowly "recall".
If the materials were inconvenient to see, Liu Huping brought Zhang Sixin and other criminals over to testify with him in court, and in the face of ironclad evidence, Li Yingqi finally admitted his crime.
After more than a year of hard work, Liu Huping finally fulfilled his mission and arrested the executioner who killed the three martyrs Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, and Lin Jilu, and personally wrote a special detailed report to the Xinjiang Branch of the CPC Central Committee and sent it to Wang Zhen for review.
After Wang Zhen saw it, he said: "Finally, we can return to the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao!" ”
Soon, Li Yingqi and Zhang Sixin, the two main murderers, as well as several accessories who were later arrested, were executed after Dihua was tried.
In 1956, the coffins of Mao Zemin and three other martyrs were transferred to the Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery on the northern outskirts of Urumqi for re-burial.
