In the early morning of December 17, 1970, a sudden burst of gunfire broke the silence of Kunming, Yunnan Province, before dawn.

Residents living near the Kunming Military Region carefully went out to investigate, not knowing where the gunshots were coming from.

At the same time, the office of the secretary of the party committee of the Kunming Military Region received an alarm call: "Several shots rang in the courtyard of Building 32!" Hurry up and send someone to see! ”

After answering the phone, the staff member who answered the phone "clucked" in his heart, knowing that the people living in the courtyard of Building 32 were the political commissar of the military region, the founding lieutenant general General Tan Furen and his wife, why was there a gunshot?

Soon after, the dispatched military police rushed to the courtyard of Building 32 and found that General Tan Furen and his wife had fallen in a pool of blood, and after rescue, they were unfortunately killed.

After the news reached the central authorities, Premier Zhou was furious and immediately solved the case within a time limit.

Two months after the murderer drank the bullet and cut himself, the director of the military region's security department hanged himself again.

Who killed General Tan Furen?

What does the death of the Minister of Security have to do with this?

When General Tan Furen was killed, he and his wife Wang Liyan lived in Building 32 of the Kunming Military Region Headquarters Compound, in the south-central part of the compound.

At that time, in the entire compound of the military region, in addition to the office building, there were not many people living here, only a few leaders of the military region and a small number of cadres lived here, and there were not many people who came and went during the day.

General Tan Furen

In the midst of this silence, in the early morning hours of December 17, 1970, gunshots suddenly rang out from General Tan Furen's residence.

Zou Xianyu, the secretary of the party office of the military region who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the ringing of the telephone, and the female comrade on the other end of the phone told him about the gunshots in the compound in a somewhat hasty tone, and asked him to quickly send someone to see. Zou Xianyu was frightened and woke up, and before he could call the relevant personnel to confirm, another phone call came in.

This time it was General Tan Furen's guard, whose tone was much more flustered than that of the female comrade just now, and spoke incoherently, and it took a while to make things clear: "Commissar Tan has been shot!" ”

Zou Xianyu couldn't sit still at this moment, and made ten phone calls in a row to inform all the relevant leaders, and all he used was a sentence: "Something happened to Commissar Tan's family!" ”

The relevant leaders who received the news and rushed to the scene quickly sent Tan Furen and his wife to the hospital for treatment, and at the same time reported the news to the party organization.

When General Tan Furen's wife, Wang Liyan, was discovered, she was already silent. After General Tan Furen was rushed to the hospital for rescue, the doctor found that he had been shot three times, one in the abdomen, one in the arm, and one in the head.

When he was taken to the hospital, his blood pressure was almost non-existent, and the doctor had a weak heartbeat after emergency rescue. However, no matter how hard the doctors tried to rescue him, in the end, General Tan Furen died at 4 p.m. because of his serious injuries.

Premier Zhou, who received the news, was very angry. You must know that General Tan Furen is an old revolutionary comrade.

The murderer who killed the founding lieutenant general drank a bullet and died, why did the minister of defense choose to hang himself two months later? The sound of gunfire awakened Chuncheng's unfortunate murder and stripped away a wave of unevenness, a wave of rise

When he was young, he was instructed by the communist Zhu Yunqing, bent on joining the Red Army, serving the revolution, and also joining the Communist Party, but as a result, he met people who were unladylike, was deceived, and was deceived into going to the national army barracks and forcibly conscripting troops.

Soon after, the reluctant Tan Furen and the Nationalist troops stubbornly defended the central area of Jinggangshan, the new city of Ninggang County, and later the new city was breached by the Red Army, and Tan Furen became a prisoner with other soldiers.

During his detention, Tan Furen remembered his own experience, couldn't help but be a little depressed, and hummed the "Internationale" that he had learned when he studied with Zhu Yunqing in the early years.

Later founding general Chen Shiqu accidentally passed by, heard the song, and was quite curious about Tan Furen, as a soldier of the Nationalist Army, who could sing the "International Song", and under his questioning, Tan Furen told his past experience truthfully.

Chen Shiqu was greatly moved after hearing this, so he helped him find Zhu Yunqing, and under Zhu Yunqing's sponsorship and recommendation, Tan Furen's party membership was proved, and he was also arranged to serve as a clerk in the army because of his high and small culture.

Tan Furen, who unexpectedly fulfilled his wish, showed great enthusiasm in the Red Army troops, successively participated in the anti-"encirclement and suppression" and the Long March of the Red Army, and rose higher and higher with his outstanding performance, and was appointed deputy political commissar and director of the political department of the Guangxi Military Region after the founding of New China, and was also awarded the rank of founding lieutenant general at the award ceremony in 1955.

Such an old revolutionary was shot and killed in the home of the military region, and Premier Zhou attached great importance to this matter, and immediately set up a "017 special case group", which was responsible for Zhou Xing, and the Ministry of Public Security sent people to assist in the investigation, and gave instructions: "The focus is on the internal military region, this case is likely to be done by internal personnel, we must seize the time to solve the case." ”

After the special case team arrived at the Kunming Military Region, it immediately conducted an inventory.

In the investigation, as long as anyone who lives in the compound of the military region, whether it is a soldier or a family member, will have to account for the whereabouts of the period from the night of December 16 to the early morning of December 17, and whether anyone can testify.

In the course of the inventory, the special case team found that the military district security department had lost two pistols, and then focused on the search of guns during the inventory. At the thought of the whereabouts of the murderer and the presence of a gun, the compound of the military region suddenly fell into an atmosphere of trepidation.

The murderer who killed the founding lieutenant general drank a bullet and died, why did the minister of defense choose to hang himself two months later? The sound of gunfire awakened Chuncheng's unfortunate murder and stripped away a wave of unevenness, a wave of rise

The special case personnel specially responsible for investigating the scene found that from the analysis of the scene situation, the shooting distance of the murderer should be about 5 to 6 meters, and the shell casings picked up from the scene of the crime were analyzed and compared, which was completely consistent with the guns and bullets lost by the security department.

At that time, there was also Tan Furen's younger sister who came to live temporarily in the courtyard. She recalled that after the gunshots rang out, she ran out of the room to check and saw a man between one meter seven and five and one meter eight running out of the yard at a high speed.

Based on comprehensive judgment, the special case team believes that the murderer should be a person who knows the situation in the compound of the military region and the home of General Tan Furen very well, and can still freely enter and exit the compound.

The special case team specially inspected all the sentry records in the compound, and from the evening of the 16th to the early morning of the 17th, there were no outsiders entering and leaving the four gates of the military compound, and the walls of the compound did not have any overruns, which showed that the murderer was most likely still living in the compound.

At this time, the inventory of the occupants of the compound is basically over, and almost everyone can give their alibi and find more than two people to testify. Only one person can prove himself.

This person's name is Wang Zizheng, and he is the deputy chief of the security section of the military region's security department. He was a man with a height of one meter and eight meters, a strong man, who joined the army during the Liberation War and made many military achievements. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Zizheng relied on his outstanding performance to serve as a firearm custodian in the logistics department of the Kunming Military Region and as the head of the military region's guard.

The murderer who killed the founding lieutenant general drank a bullet and died, why did the minister of defense choose to hang himself two months later? The sound of gunfire awakened Chuncheng's unfortunate murder and stripped away a wave of unevenness, a wave of rise

In everyone's impression, Wang Zizheng is usually silent, does not like to have too much contact with others, and is always alone and somewhat lonely.

In 1970, Wang Zizheng was appointed deputy chief of the security section, and he, a man who usually behaved a little lowly, was very happy during that time. Soon after Wang Zizheng became deputy section chief, the Kunming Military Region received a letter from Wang Zizheng's hometown exposing him.

It turned out that Wang Zizheng's original name was not called this, his real name was Wang Zhizheng, he participated in the counter-revolutionary action in his hometown in the early years, and also shot the director of the village committee of his hometown, and has been absconding ever since. It was probably during this period that Wang Zhizheng changed his name to "Wang Zizheng" and joined the People's Liberation Army.

After receiving this letter, the Political Department of the Military Region launched a quarantine examination of Wang Zizheng in accordance with the regulations. For this reason, Wang Zizheng was guarded by a sentry on the night of the crime, which should also be regarded as his alibi.

While the task force was having a headache about this, a young boy named Ma Suhong provided an important clue.

The murderer who killed the founding lieutenant general drank a bullet and died, why did the minister of defense choose to hang himself two months later? The sound of gunfire awakened Chuncheng's unfortunate murder and stripped away a wave of unevenness, a wave of rise

Ma Suhong said that just before dawn on the morning of the 17th, he slept in a confused state, and a big man in military uniform knocked on the door of his house, saying that he was looking for Chen Hanzhong, the chief of the security section.

Later, Ma Suhong recalled that the big man who asked for directions looked very much like his classmate's father. And the classmate he was talking about was Wang Zizheng's son.

After learning of this important information, the special case team immediately sent personnel from the Security Department to Wang Zizheng to verify the situation.

So section chief Chen Hanzhong and officer Li Bozhi went to find Wang Zizheng. When they came to Wang Zizheng's isolation room, they found him lying on the bed with a gloomy look, not knowing what he was thinking, but he seemed to be very worried.

Chen Hanzhong shouted at him: "Wang Zizheng, follow us to the canteen, I have something to say to you." ”

Wang Zizheng stood up silently, pretended to tie his shoelaces, and took advantage of chen and Li's lack of attention to draw two pistols from the bed and shoot without hesitation. Li Bozhi stood forward, was hit in the abdomen on the spot, and fell to the ground groaning.

Chen Hanzhong was also hit in his right hand, and he ran out in pain to cry out for help.

Wang Zizheng caught up from behind, just in time to meet the soldiers of the military region's guard squad who had heard the news. He realized he was surrounded, so he turned around and ran, stumbling into the toilet. Just as the warriors were about to go in and arrest him, a gunshot rang out from the toilet, and Wang Zizheng shot himself.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="87" > wave of unevenness, wave after wave</h1>

After the appraisal of the special case team, Wang Zizheng's two pistols were the two lost by the Security Department.

Now that he has committed suicide in fear of his crime, there is no proof of death, and the special case team can only infer Wang Zizheng's crime process from the existing information.

The task force found notes written by Wang Zizheng, which were full of harsh words, all aimed at his being isolated and censored, and it could be seen that he was very dissatisfied with the matter. He even wrote in his notes: "I can't just finish it, I have to pull a few people to pad my back when I die!" ”

This was followed by several names, all of whom were leaders of the military region. But Wang Zizheng also wrote that it was better to kill Tan Furen first, so that the impact would be greater, and he would be able to vent his anger more.

The murderer who killed the founding lieutenant general drank a bullet and died, why did the minister of defense choose to hang himself two months later? The sound of gunfire awakened Chuncheng's unfortunate murder and stripped away a wave of unevenness, a wave of rise

From this, the task force can also infer that Wang Zizheng shot Tan Furen and his wife out of anger and did not really have a personal grudge.

Probably in the early hours of December 17, Wang Zizheng sneaked out of the isolation room with his excellent physical fitness, and then mixed into the compound of the military region with his previous work experience as the deputy chief of the security section, stole two pistols and supporting bullets, and then entered Tan Furen's home to start his criminal acts.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Zizheng first shot and killed Wang Liyan, and then when he was pursuing and killing Tan Furen, Tan Furen ran to the guard to call for help. But one of the guards on duty was frightened into hiding in the kitchen when he heard the gunshots, and the other was messing with the older nanny.

Tan Furen failed to get help in time and was eventually shot and killed by Wang Zizheng, who was chasing him.

Who knows, more than two months after the murder of Tan Furen and his wife, Jing Rulin, the minister of the Ministry of Security, was found hanging himself in the canteen.

The murderer who killed the founding lieutenant general drank a bullet and died, why did the minister of defense choose to hang himself two months later? The sound of gunfire awakened Chuncheng's unfortunate murder and stripped away a wave of unevenness, a wave of rise

Wave after wave, wave after wave.

The special case team came back again to investigate whether Jing Rulin was related to the previous case, and found that this historical issue of Wang Zizheng was examined by Jing Rulin.

Wang Zizheng was a very cunning person, and after learning that he had been isolated and examined for his past behavior, he realized that once his affairs were exposed, what awaited him was the death penalty, so he asked for the "coffin autopsy" of the village committee cadre who was killed by him, claiming that two people had been shot at that time, and that the cadre who killed the cadre should be another person who shot him.

It was Jing Rulin who agreed to Wang Zizheng's request, and Wang Zizheng's case was postponed again and again, and finally gave Wang Zizheng time to commit the crime.

After Tan Furen and his wife were killed, Jing Rulin was like a changed person, frowning and frowning all day long, and everyone said: "The murderer is from our security department, the gun is from our security department, the murdered chief is still the number one chief of the security department that should be guarded, I have failed the party, I have failed the people, I really have no face to see!" ”

Jing Rulin spent more than two months, did not get out of this heavy shadow of guilt, and finally chose to hang himself in the canteen under the influence of his deep disappointment in himself.

If Jing Rulin had not acceded to Wang Zizheng's unreasonable request, and if the guards had been able to provide timely support when Tan Furen called for help, perhaps the country would not have lost this meritorious minister. Although the truth of the whole case has come out, it still makes people sigh.
