Guards have always been the most important presence around national leaders. In addition to being responsible for protecting the leader's safety, they must also rush to rescue the leader immediately when he is in danger.

But in 1970, when Lieutenant General Tan Furen was killed, his guards were clearly next door, but they did not go to the rescue immediately.

When Premier Zhou, who had always been gentle and elegant, learned about this incident, he was so angry that he yelled: "This is the worst guard since the founding of the People's Republic of China!"

So, who was the murderer of Tan Furen? Why did he kill General Tan Furen? Why didn't Tan Furen's guards go to the rescue?

A country general was shot to death

At around 5 a.m. on December 17, 1970, a very urgent phone ringing suddenly rang in the office of the Party Committee of the Kunming Military Region.

woke up secretary Zou Xianyu who was sleeping. She stood up sleepily and picked up the phone.

But before she could speak, a young woman's frightened and trembling voice came from the other side of the phone: "Several gunshots were heard in the courtyard of Building 42. Please send someone to take a look."

42 Building Courtyard ? Hearing the woman talking about this, Zou Xianyu suddenly woke up. She remembered that Building No. 42 was where Tan Furen, political commissar of the military region, lived.

"What's going on? Why are there gunshots in Building No. 42?" Zou Xianyu asked with some confusion.

"I, I don't know either. Come and take a look. Anyway, something happened. Get someone here!" After saying that, the woman opposite hung up the phone.

Looking at the hung up phone, before Zou Xianyu could react, the phone rang again.

She hurriedly picked up the phone and asked, "Hey, what happened?"

A man's voice came from the other side of the phone. When Zou Xianyu heard it, she found that it was Tan Furen's guard Li Hongliang calling.

On the phone, Li Hongliang acted very scared and panicked, and he could not even speak clearly.

However, fortunately, Zou Xianyu learned a very shocking news from his words.

Political Commissar Tan was shot to death!

Hearing the news, Zou Xianyu couldn't believe it. The area around Political Commissar Tan's home was heavily guarded, making it impossible for ordinary people to get in.

Soon, Zou Xianyu calmed down, and she immediately called the political commissar of the military region Wang Kexue and the deputy commander-in-chief of the military region Liu Chunshan and others to report to them the news that political commissar Tan had been shot.

Immediately afterwards, Zou Xianyu also immediately packed up and rushed to Building No. 42 where Political Commissar Tan was located.

Soon, Wang Kexue arrived at the scene of the crime. After he entered, he smelled a very strong smell of blood.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Tan Furen, who was wearing pajamas and lying in a pool of blood. His eyes had gradually turned white and he was looking up aimlessly. His vital signs were already in critical condition. His wife, Wang Liyan, was shot between the eyebrows.

"Send to the hospital quickly for rescue!" Wang Kexue said to the people around him immediately before he had time to think about it.

Afterwards, a group of people quickly sent Tan Furen and his wife Wang Liyan to the hospital for rescue. Tan Furen's eldest daughter Tan Yandan also rushed to the hospital after learning about the incident.

Wang Kexue and Tan Yandan were waiting anxiously outside the operating room.

On the other side, Zhou Xing, the deputy political commissar of the military region, also directly called Premier Zhou through Radio 1 and reported the shooting of Tan Furen.

Premier Zhou was shocked when he heard that Tan Furen had been killed, and immediately gave instructions: "Send people to rescue immediately, and at the same time set up a task force to seize the time to detect the case."

In addition, Premier Zhou also assigned Zhou Xing to be responsible for the investigation of the case, and also asked him to set the scope of the investigation within the military region agencies.

Because this case is likely to be done by insiders.

Soon, the doctor came out. After seeing the two of them, he shook his head and said, "Please forgive me."

After hearing this, Tan Yandan fainted. Wang Kexue and the doctor hurriedly called the nurse and helped her aside to rest.

Then, Wang Kexue asked him about the specific situation, and the doctor told him, Tan Furen He was shot three times, one in the abdomen, the arm and the head, and had been dead for some time.

When he left the hospital, Tan Furen had almost no vital signs and finally had a weak heartbeat after resuscitation. .

Even though doctors tried every means to save him, it was still to no avail.

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Tan Furen died due to excessive injuries.

A country general. He was murdered while sleeping at home. This news not only shocked the entire Yunnan Province, but also shocked the entire central government.

If this case is known by some uneasy and well-intentioned foreign media, they will definitely spare no effort to tarnish the image of New China. .

Therefore, Chairman Mao ordered Premier Zhou Enlai to be responsible for investigating the case, and the murderer of Tan Furen must be brought to justice in the shortest possible time.

Wang Kexue and Zhou Xing followed Premier Zhou's instructions to bring the entire compound to justice. They surrounded everyone and conducted a detailed investigation of the people living in the compound.

As long as they lived here, no matter who they were or how high their status was, they had to report their presence from the night of December 16th to the early morning of the 17th. Where and what they are doing, who can prove it.

While investigating suspicious people in the compound, Zou Xianyu suddenly thought of the call from Tan Furen's guard Li Hongliang.

It stands to reason that he and Tan Furen are the same. Living in the same building, Tan Furen would definitely knock on his door when he was in danger

But Li Hongliang did not open the door immediately, but when others were about to break down the door. Just opened the door.

The more Zou Xianyu thought about it, the more he felt that Tan Furen's guard was suspicious, so he informed Wang Kexue of this idea and suggested that the guard be interrogated.

Wang Kexue agreed with Zou Xianyu's idea and sent him immediately. Guard Li Hongliang was brought to the interrogation room for interrogation.

Sitting on the stool in the interrogation room, Li Hongliang was trembling all over, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

When Wang Kexue was about to question him, he said first: " Political Commissar Tan's family has five security guards, but the army has been training recently, and three of them were pulled away for training. Only me and one other guard were left at home. "

After finishing speaking, Li Hongliang carefully looked up at Wang Kexue and others.

Wang Kexue saw his little movement. He knocked on the table and said, "What next? Go on.

Immediately afterwards, Li Hongliang said tremblingly: "I went to bed very early and slept very deeply. I didn't hear anything." If everyone hadn't knocked on the door, I might still be sleeping. "

clues to find the truth

As for what Li Hongliang said, Zou Xianyu and Wang Kexue believed that there was no credibility at all, and even thought that he was lying.

In addition, Li Hongliang stumbled when speaking, and his expression was very panicked. If he wanted to talk to him, It doesn’t matter, no one can believe it.

“Li Hongliang! "Wang Kexue slammed the table, yelled at him, and asked him to quickly tell the story of the incident.

Li Hongliang was startled by the sudden situation, and then he actually cried.

It turned out that Li Hongliang was at that time He was not asleep at all, but was cooing with the nanny who was more than thirty years older than him.

Therefore, when he heard the knock on the door outside, he thought that his affair with the nanny had been discovered, so They kept hiding in the house and refused to go out.

The other guard felt very frightened after hearing the gunfire and ran directly to the toilet to hide.

They did not stop until more and more people gathered outside. Pretending to know nothing, he opened the door.

After hearing what Li Hongliang said, Wang Kexue was so angry that he stood up from the table, pointed at his nose and said: "Look at you, as a guard of Political Commissar Tan, you don't perform your duties well and you actually go and do such a thing. When you are in danger, you are too afraid to move. You have simply disgraced the Chinese soldiers!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the interrogation room, and a soldier came in and reported to him what was happening in the compound! Check the situation.

Through the investigation of the investigators, it was discovered that two pistols of the Military Region Security Department were missing, and 20 rounds of ammunition were also lost.

However, what is strange is that there are no signs of prying on the doors and windows of the secret room, and the hidden lock of the cabinet is also intact. It was obviously done by insiders.

Later, Wang Kexue reported the guard's words to Zhou Xing, who was in charge of investigating the case. After Zhou Xing learned what the guard had done, he was so angry that he paced back and forth in his office.

Immediately afterwards, he reported the matter to Premier Zhou.

After Premier Zhou heard about the security guards, he was so angry that he slammed the table and couldn't help scolding the security guards for their shameless behavior.

Premier Zhou's gentleness and elegance are obvious to all the world. What the two guards did now makes him feel very sad.

It is because of them that the country has lost a very useful pillar.

At the same time, Zhou Xing and Wang Kexue have also controlled everyone in the family of Political Commissar Tan and conducted a unified interrogation and investigation.

Through interrogation and investigation, they learned from Wang Liyan's sister Wang Wenying that she was awakened by a scream from her sister's house in the early morning.

After being woken up, Wang Wenying immediately ran out of the house to check the situation, but noticed a tall figure flashing past, followed by the sound of gunshots.

"Do you remember that person's appearance?" Zhou Xing suddenly asked.

Wang Wenying shook her head and said: "The man was wearing a mask and running very fast. I didn't see what he looked like. But he was a bit fat and he was probably about 40 years old."

On the other hand, members of the investigation team also found that the gun used by to kill Tan Furen was a Type 59 pistol, which was exactly the same model as the pistol lost by the Military Region Security Office.

This news made Zhou Xing and others think that Premier Zhou was right and the murderer was an insider.

Later, he sent people to step up the investigation of the people in the compound, especially those who owned the 59 pistol .

While the investigation team was conducting a rigorous search, a 13-year-old boy named Ma Suhong reported an important situation to them.

At around 5 o'clock in the morning on December 17, his door was pushed open by a tall, fat, middle-aged man in military uniform.

The man walked in and asked him: "Children, do you know where Chen Hanzhong is?"

Ma Suhong was asleep at that time, and he pointed up and said: "It's up there."

Hearing his words, the man left, and Ma Suhong also fell asleep again.

At first, he didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until he heard that General Tan Furen had been killed that Ma Suhong told his father about it.

After hearing this, his father hurriedly took him to the investigation team to report this important news.

At the same time, the investigation team also learned from Chen Hanzhong’s wife that someone did look for Chen Hanzhong at around 5 o’clock that morning.

Moreover, the physical characteristics of the man she described were the same as what Ma Suhong said.

Just when Ma Suhong's father was about to take him away, he suddenly ran back and said: "I remembered, that person, that person is very similar to my classmate's father, Wang Zizheng."

Hearing this, the investigation team Immediately brought some photos for Ma Suhong to identify.

Through careful identification, Ma Suhong confirmed that it was Wang Zizheng who opened the door to her room that day.

Wang Zizheng was the newly promoted deputy section chief of the Military Region Security Department. Because it was reported that during the War of Liberation, he and his cousin killed Wu Huihui, the director of the Armed Forces Committee of his village, and was being quarantined for review.

On the morning of December 17, 1970, Wang Zizheng asked the guard to use the toilet.

After a while, he returned to the isolation room holding his stomach, and no one saw when he went to the toilet.

In order to find out the truth of the matter, on the night of December 31, Chen Hanzhong and Li Bozhi came to the isolation room.

Chen Hanzhong said that he came to him because he wanted to talk to him about something and ask him to go to the cafeteria.

Wang Zizheng agreed on the surface, but the moment he got out of bed, he suddenly took out a pistol from under the quilt and shot Chen Hanzhong and Li Bozhi once each.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, the two people failed to dodge in time and fell to the ground after being hit by bullets.

At the same time, the sound of gunfire also attracted other soldiers.

Upon seeing this, Wang Zizheng hurried to the toilet and wanted to climb over the wall to escape, but the wall was too high for him to climb over.

He looked at the soldiers who were about to catch up with him, and knowing that there was no hope of escape, he actually pointed the gun at his own head, pulled the trigger, and shot himself.

When the fog cleared and the truth was revealed

After Wang Zizheng committed suicide, the investigation team tested and determined that the gun in his hand was one of the two Type 59 pistols stolen from the Security Department.

But it was not the one that killed Tan Furen and his wife.

Subsequently, the investigation team came to his residence to search, but did not find another pistol.

By analyzing the environment at the time, the investigation team believed that Wang Zizheng probably threw the pistol into the toilet cesspool after committing the crime.

Sure enough, a few days later, the investigation team found another pistol in the dried dung pile.

After inspection, this pistol was the one used to kill Tan Furen and his wife.

But Wang Zizheng and Tan Furen had no grievances, so why did they kill them?

Regarding this issue, the investigation team is also somewhat confused.

But soon, they found the answer from Wang Zizheng's diary.

It turned out that Wang Zizheng was worried that his murder of Wu Hui during the Liberation War would be exposed, which would affect his future.

At that time, he might even be expelled from the party and the military.

Wang Zizheng, who was in fear and despair, grew evil and courageous, and decided to break the jar.

So, taking advantage of the convenience of his position, he stole two pistols from the safe and killed Tan Furen and his wife while they were going to the toilet for inspection.

In addition, he also wanted to kill Chen Hanzhong together, but because Chen Hanzhong was not at home that day, he had to give up.

After killing Tan Furen and his wife, Wang Zizheng returned to the isolation room, thinking that his technique was perfect and no one would find out.

But what he never expected was that Ma Suhong actually recognized him.

After the truth of the case came to light, many people felt sorry for General Tan Furen, who had spent his life in the military.

At the same time, the dereliction of duty by the guards also caused various departments to deeply reflect, and later strengthened the disciplinary requirements for the guards.
