At the beginning of 1958, just after the Spring Festival, just when the people of the whole country were still immersed in the festive celebration of the Spring Festival, the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau received a circular on the situation of the enemy from the Ministry of Public Security, which read:
It is reported that a male agent of the Mainland Research Institute of the Kuomintang Intelligence Bureau, aged about 35 years old, Hubei, is thin, has two tiger teeth with gold teeth, and has a small black mole in the corner of the eye. This person has been a former gendarme, has lived in Hong Kong for more than ten years, has been trained by Taiwanese agents in Hong Kong, and is now preparing to infiltrate Wuhan. ”
After receiving the notice, the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau did not dare to slacken off at all, and immediately took action to carry out the investigation of personnel entering from Hong Kong.
One day in February of that year, the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau made initial progress in its work, and after careful investigation, they found that a Hong Kong immigrant named Liu Renhui was very similar to the situation reported by the Ministry of Public Security, so they officially included this person in the scope of key investigations.
However, just as the comrades of the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau took action, the case "consciously" made new progress: this Liu Renhui actually took the initiative to surrender himself, and said that he had top-secret intelligence, and had to report to General Li Kenong in person.
What's going on here?
It turned out that this Liu Renhui was indeed a Wuhan native, and there was still a mother and sister at home, and when he returned from Hong Kong this time, the mother and daughter duo saw their long-separated son and brother, and they couldn't help but be excited and tearful, and the family hugged each other tightly...
Like all mothers in the world, the son has been wandering outside for many years, and it is not easy to come back, as a mother, it is inevitable to ask the east and the west, what is not bitter outside, tired or not? What kind of work to do outside, and so on, and whenever his mother asked herself about these things, Liu Renhui always talked about him, and took care of him, especially when his mother asked him to go to the public security bureau as soon as possible to apply for a household registration, and then find a job in Wuhan and live a solid life, Liu Renhui even showed a very reluctant expression.
The people of that era had just been freed from the perennial war and chaos, and had a few years of peaceful and stable living, and everyone was very vigilant, especially Liu Renhui's sister, who was not only the backbone of a local factory, but also a Communist Party member.
Therefore, Liu Renhui's mother and sister found an opportunity to have a long talk with him.
Liu Renhui's mother spoke first, and she said to her son in a serious and slightly anxious tone: "Hui'er, aren't you a secret agent from the Kuomintang?" If you have any questions, you should turn yourself in to the government as soon as possible and strive for leniency! It's the only option!"
At this time, my sister also added from the side: "I can't tolerate The Kuomintang agents hiding at home!"
When all was said and done, Liu Renhui did not say anything more, he could not say it, he said to his mother and sister resolutely and affirmatively: "You can rest assured, I am not a bad person, please believe me, well, since you want me to turn myself in, then I will listen to you, tomorrow I will go to the government to explain, so that you can know what kind of person I really am." ”
And so, the scene described above happened.
After coming to the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau, Liu Renhui gave a detailed explanation of all his situations to the public security cadres and policemen:
"In 1946, I went to Wuhan Photo Studio as an apprentice, in December of that year, I was admitted to the Kuomintang Hanyang Gendarmerie, in 1948 transferred to the Kuomintang 5th Army 200 Division as a second lieutenant staff officer, at this time, I established contact with the CCP's underground agent Wang Yongsheng, after the 5th Army was defeated by the People's Liberation Army, I came to Fujian with Wang Yongsheng, for the convenience of work, Wang Yongsheng gave me a' Later, after I went to Taiwan, I lost contact with Wang Yongsheng, and in Taiwan, I was transferred to the eighth group of the Second Department of the Kuomintang Ministry of National Defense, which sent me to work in Hong Kong and was sent to the mainland by the secret service in Hong Kong. I have not been in contact with the CCP for a long time, and now I am going to Beijing to report my work to Li Kenong, which is a top secret, please be sure to keep it secret..."
After hearing this, the staff of the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau was stunned, and they could not imagine that this person had such an identity and such a complicated relationship! They did not dare to be careless, so they reported the situation to Li Kenong, and according to Li Kenong's instructions, they quickly sent Liu Renhui to Beijing.
After arriving in Beijing, Li Kenong arranged for an intelligence officer named Rong Zheng of the General Intelligence Department to contact Liu Renhui with the intention of screening and verifying Liu Renhui's information.
Therefore, Rong Zheng and Liu Renhui launched a detailed conversation. During the conversation, Liu Renhui seemed to be very confident, and in the face of Rongzheng's many tentative questions, he was not humble, and his answers were seamless, without the slightest flaw or flaw.
From this point of view, is this Liu Renhui really a member of our party?
However, through many visits and investigations from the periphery, Rong Zheng was surprised to find that the names of Liu Renhui and Wang Yongsheng never appeared in the list of agents of our party.
Rong Zheng did not dare to be careless, and quickly reported the situation to General Li Kenong, who was immediately suspicious, so he handed Liu Renhui over to the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau for interrogation, and clearly instructed that the true identity of the other party must be clarified!
After many interrogations by the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, Liu Renhui's defense line was breached layer by layer, and the result was once again a big surprise!
It turned out that this Liu Renhui was not an agent of our party, but was really a secret agent sent by the Second Department of the Kuomintang Ministry of National Defense, and he had also committed numerous crimes:
In 1953, he interrogated arrested fishermen and gathered naval intelligence on our party;
In 1954, through the interrogation of captured volunteer soldiers, intelligence on factories, airports, etc. in Qingdao, Tianjin and other places was collected and provided to the US intelligence department...
In 1958, he was ordered to take advantage of his wuhan identity and sneak back to his hometown of Wuhan through Hong Kong to collect military intelligence in the Wuhan area.
If you really let him get through the pass, the consequences will be unimaginable!
In May 1960, Liu Renhui was sentenced to death for counter-revolution, suspended for two years.
The legal net was restored, neglect was not leaked, no matter how much work was done in his heart, Liu Renhui was still clever and was mistaken by cleverness, and finally got a just trial by the people.
What is dramatic is that the one with gold teeth and a small black mole in the corner of the eye in the Ministry of Public Security's report is also called Liu Renhui, but in fact, it is not the Liu Renhui above, but another person, but this Liu Renhui was also quickly arrested and arrested by the Wuhan public security organs, and was properly tried, which is very gratifying!
