"What do you want to do? I am a British citizen. Didn't I just bring two mice with me? You have no right to detain me. Let me leave quickly!"
In 1967, on a quiet morning, a burst of noise came from Baiyun Airport. An angry roar.
Guangzhou Baiyun Airport Terminal
People looked at the man with some confusion. A British man yelled at several staff members, but in the face of the man's yelling, several staff members just politely invited him to the lounge. .
Some people shook their heads in silence, and others felt strange, but what everyone didn't know was that it was this seemingly ordinary mouse that led to a shocking case, and finally alarmed Premier Zhou, who said bluntly: Investigate strictly!
The strange mouse
In 1967, at Baiyun Airport, Lin Hua was checking the luggage of boarding passengers. He had done this job for several years and never had any problems.
Lin Hua walked to a black box and opened it, feeling a little confused.
This is a very ordinary suitcase, but the strange thing is that except for two mice, there is nothing else in it. The entire suitcase seems to be just for holding these two mice.

"What's there to bring with you, the skinny big black rat? It's dirty, aren't you afraid of getting sick?" Lin Hua murmured to himself.
Lin Hua looked at the logo on the box and found that the owner of the box was a British man named George Watt.
He felt a little strange, so he immediately found George Watt and asked a few questions as usual.
"Sir, where are you going? We just checked your box and found that there are only two mice in it. Do you plan to take him back?"
Unexpectedly, George Watt behaved very seriously after this simple inquiry. Strangely, there was a flash of panic in his eyes at first. Although he quickly regained his composure, Lin Hua still noticed it.
"This is just my personal hobby. I am a scholar who loves animals. I want to bring Chinese rats back to Europe to conduct comparative experiments and study their biology." George Watt pretended to be calm and said calmly said.

Faced with George Watt's words, Lin Hua not only did not believe it, but also felt that something was wrong.
Those two skinny black mice Let alone research. The journey is bumpy and you may die halfway. There is no time to do research. Rats are everywhere. If you really want to do research, why not catch a few strong ones? ?
Thinking of this, Lin Hua gave his colleague a wink without missing a beat, signaling him to stabilize George Watt, while Lin Hua himself quickly found his superiors and reported the matter.
The international situation at that time was very severe. Many capitalist countries obstructed China in every possible way and secretly sent countless spies and spies to steal intelligence.
After hearing Lin Hua's report, the superior leaders did not dare to be careless and quickly sent a telegram to the Enemy Information Division of the Capital Public Security Bureau to explain the situation.
"What do you want to do? I am a legal British citizen. You have no right to detain me. Get me out of here quickly." George Watt, who was gradually feeling bad, wanted to leave quickly and shouted at the airport staff. stand up.
60, the public security police in the 1970s
and the staff who had received instructions from the public security organs, faced the threat of George Watt, just smiled and took him to the lounge. George Watt's heart gradually sank. He understood that once the thing in his hand was If he fails to take it back in time, there will be endless trouble waiting for him. The door to the
lounge was slowly closed, which also meant that from this point on, Watt completely lost his last chance to struggle.
has a sharp eye and discovered the problem.
The situation at Baiyun Airport immediately attracted the attention of the public security organs, and 33-year-old Zhang Wenqi was responsible for this matter.
After Zhang Wenqi saw the telegram from his superiors, his years of struggle experience made him immediately discover the problem. George Watt's words seemed reasonable, but upon closer inspection, they were full of loopholes.
Zhang Wenqi had a vague guess in his mind. This case was definitely unusual, but the identity of George Watt as a foreigner was an issue that could not be ignored. Once handled improperly, it would most likely extend into an international dispute. This pair of newly born New China is a great test.
Baiyun Airport
There is definitely a big problem with those two mice! Even if you are studying rats, you should not just look for two rats that are so skinny that they are only skin and bones. There must be a conspiracy involved. After
discovered the clue, Zhang Wenqi immediately sent a message to Baiyun Airport to find a way to take out the mouse from Watt's box.
At this time, Watt was in the lounge, being guarded by a group of staff. Without the ability to resist, the staff handed over the rat in Watt's box to the public security personnel without much effort.
At this time, Lin Hua had an idea and quietly called a few colleagues to go to the wasteland near the airport, caught two mice, and put them back in Watt's box. In this "civet cat for the prince", even if Nawatt found out afterwards, he would have to be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, which would be very difficult!
After getting the mouse, Zhang Wenqi immediately ordered the investigators to take the mouse to the relevant agency for inspection to see what kind of trouble was hidden behind the mouse. At the same time, Zhang Wenqi also personally led people to investigate Watt's social background, hoping to find out A new breakthrough.
Soon, the investigators handed over the information after the mouse inspection to Zhang Wenqi.
60, Zhang Wenqi, a public security policeman in the 1970s, was a rough man. The dense numbers and symbols made his eyes dazzle, but Zhang Wenqi still patiently read them word by word.
Soon, Zhang Wenqi's eyes froze slightly. In this report of about a hundred words, he discovered an important piece of information.
These two mice contain radioactive materials!
Zhang Wenqi tapped his fingers on the table, frowning in confusion, radioactive material? This is not an ordinary thing. Except for some national key projects, ordinary people have no access to these things.
So, where did Watt get these rats with access to radioactive materials?
Zhang Wenqi picked up Watt's resume again and looked at it. He was a British engineer living temporarily in Lanzhou, eh? Lanzhou?
Lanzhou!
Zhang Wenqi was slightly startled. He put the two documents on the table and stared at them intently. Suddenly, Zhang Wenqi's eyes shrank, he understood! He understood where Watt got the mice from, Northwest!
appeared to be a couple, secretly spying on
At that time, the northwest region was the main area for research on nuclear weapons . There were many national secret scientific research institutions working day and night in the northwest region.
And that is also the area where radioactive materials are most likely to leak.
is related to the northwest, and Zhang Wenqi dare not neglect it. How could Zhang Wenqi not know what the northwest region is doing at this time? If any problems arise in the northwest, it will be a huge blow to New China!
Thinking of this, Zhang Wenqi hurriedly led the police officers to the northwest overnight, not daring to waste even a moment.
Arriving at the local chemistry laboratory, Zhang Wenqi waited anxiously outside the house, thinking crazily in his mind.
Once things reach the worst point, as a Communist Party member, even if he risks his life, he must protect the work being carried out in the northwest region to the end.
Zhang Wenqi's concern was correct. After comparison by technicians, it was found that the two mice carried by Watt were almost identical to the radioactive materials in the area near the nuclear base. In other words, these two mice were obtained by Watt from near the nuclear base. .

Watt, who appears to be a machine repairman, is actually a spy sent by Western forces. The reason why he deliberately wants to take away these two mice is to use these two mice to investigate our country's nuclear weapons. What kind of situation has the research reached.
What a cunning and treacherous enemy!
Zhang Wenqi's palms felt cold. This was a shocking case. He didn't believe that Watt, who had been lurking in Lanzhou for a long time, only had these two mice, and he must have information about the northwest.
Zhang Wenqi thought of this, but he could not sit still, so he quickly found the then deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security of the capital - Yang Qiqing.
"Old chief, there is a serious situation. We must report it to the Central Committee and Chairman Mao immediately!"
Zhang Wenqi, who was tired of life, saw Yang Qiqing and didn't even bother to drink a sip of water. He grabbed Yang Qiqing's arm and said with red eyes.
After Yang Qiqing learned of the situation, he immediately called Premier Zhou Enlai to report the emergency situation.
Premier Zhou
After listening to Yang Qiqing’s report, Premier Zhou, who had always been gentle and modest, became rarely angry and immediately issued an order.
"Check, you must get to the bottom of it. Don't worry, the comrades in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will do their best to cooperate with you. Qiqing, you know the importance of the northwest, and you must not let the information leak out!"
attacked on two fronts, When the fish bit the hook
received the order from Premier Zhou Enlai, Yang Qiqing suddenly felt confident, and he quickly discussed the plan with Zhang Wenqi.
"This time Watt failed to take away the information smoothly. He will never give in. He will definitely come back again. When the time comes, we will put a long line to catch big fish and follow Watt's line to catch all the big fish."
"Don't forget, Watt's wife is still staying in Lanzhou. Watt will definitely make big moves."
According to Yang Qiqing and Zhang Wenqi's plan, they first found a reason to put Watt back and let him take the initiative to contact other people. of spies.
Yang Qiqing
And Watt must also know that he has been suspected, so he will definitely replace the action personnel with others, and his nominal wife is the best personnel.
As expected by Yang Qiqing and Zhang Wenqi, after Watt returned home, within a few days, his wife began to prepare to return to China.
On September 5, 1967, Mrs. Watt walked into the gate of Baiyun Airport after repeatedly confirming that no one was following her.
At this time, all the staff at Baiyun Airport were disguised as police officers.
Several of the most experienced investigators also acted as security officers. After seeing Mrs. Watt, they gave each other a look, then went up to her and conducted a security check on Mrs. Watt as usual.
When Mrs. Watt saw no one appearing from behind, she thought she was safe. Little did she know that the police officers, whom she feared the most, were carefully checking all aspects of her luggage.
Soon, the police officers discovered the disguised film in the photo frame of Mrs. Watt's luggage.
Baiyun Airport
"I'm sorry, madam, we need to check the film you brought. Only after it is confirmed to be correct, you can pass."
"This, this is just an ordinary scenery photo. I plan to share China with my family after returning to China. The scenery is very precious, please give it back to me!"
"Madam, please rest assured that we have the most professional technicians to protect your things."
Mrs. Watt still wants to defend herself, but the police are already prepared. The police officers had already made complete preparations, so Mrs. Watt would not be able to speak quickly.
After being developed, the public security officers discovered that these so-called landscape photos were actually important national defense information about my country’s northwest nuclear industry base and Lanzhou military base.
As the evidence was presented, Mrs. Watt finally lowered her head silently and said nothing.
But Yang Qiqing, who had laid a dragnet long ago, did not arrest Mrs. Watt on the spot, but took her to the safe room and said to her.
"We don't want to have any disputes with you. We can treat this matter as if it never happened, but there must be no next time. Do you understand?"
Zhang Wenqi's words were naturally just to paralyze the enemy's vigilance and make him feel lucky. Follow the clues and find out the big fish behind it.
As expected, Mrs. Watt raised her head in surprise when she heard that Yang Qiqing planned to turn a big deal into a trivial matter. She thought that New China was afraid of the United States, Britain and other Western countries. Mrs. Watt said that she would never do it again, but In his mind, he began to gradually plan his next action.
The arrogance and blindness in Mrs. Watt's heart is exactly what Yang Qiqing expected. They just want the enemy to show their fox tail.
Within a few days, Mrs. Watt couldn't bear her temper when she returned home. She made a phone call and mentioned a name - Xu Linde.
Xu Linde, Zhang Wenqi murmured several times, this Xu Linde is the big fish that he has been waiting for.
60, the police in the 1970s
Soon, the name "Xu Linde" appeared in the sight of investigators. After investigation, it was found that this so-called "Xu Linde" was originally named "Trutz von Xu Linde", although It's a British passport, but it's American.
The cunning enemy created a dual identity in an attempt to mislead our investigators, but Skynet is still intact, how can these enemy's little tricks be the match of the police officers.
After investigation, it was found that Xu Linde, like Watt, was often active in Lanzhou and often met with Watt. Obviously, this Xu Linde was the big fish Zhang Wenqi had been waiting for for a long time.
To be able to arrest people, there must be evidence. Especially for foreign spies, they must be able to seize both the people and the stolen goods, leaving the enemy forces in the West speechless and unable to defend themselves.
Therefore, the patient police officers began to follow Xu Linde 24 hours a day, quietly waiting for the prey to reveal its flaws.
The investigators' waiting was not in vain. Soon, the public security officers intercepted a batch of foreign cans sent to Watt, and the sender was Xu Linde.
Although there is nothing wrong with these cans at first glance, careful investigators discovered the enemy's little secret after seeing the paper labels on the cans.
Behind these canned trademarks are printed secret texts carefully printed by Xu Linde, and these are the evidence that Zhang Wenqi and others have been waiting for for a long time.
After translation, investigators quickly grasped the content of these ciphertexts.
"You have been exposed and your plan failed. For this reason, you must commit suicide and blame the Chinese government."
What a vicious plan. If the plan fails, you will blame the innocent Chinese people. Premier Zhou received Yang Qiqing After the report came, he just said a word! —— catches !
Following Premier Zhou Enlai's order, the public security officers, who had been gearing up for a long time, immediately succeeded in arresting the Watts. After receiving the news, the cunning Xu Linde also dreamed of traveling from Beijing to Guangzhou, and then taking a boat from Guangzhou back to the UK. , but little did they know that the public security officers had already laid a dragnet at the airport.
On the evening of December 12, 1967, as soon as the carefully disguised Xu Linde got off the plane, he was handcuffed by the public security officers who had been lying in wait for a long time. On Xu Linde, the public security officers also found information about the nuclear base.
The evil-minded Xu Linde still dreamed of passing on the information. Looking at the evidence in front of him, Xu Linde's face turned pale. He understood that the plan was all over.
After interrogation, Xu Linde confessed all his espionage activities. He confessed all the relevant personnel of this espionage line.
As the mushroom cloud slowly rises in Lop Nur , the Western capitalist led by the United States can no longer sit still. They are afraid that the rise of China will threaten their international status.
Therefore, a large number of spies like Xu Linde were sent to China in an attempt to steal information about our country's nuclear materials. Although these foreign spies tried their best, they were still loopholes in the eyes of outstanding investigators like Zhang Wenqi and Yang Qiqing. It's full of flaws.
Conclusion
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of our country's outstanding anti-enemy comrades, the largest espionage case since the founding of New China - "Rat Spy Case" was successfully solved. The smooth detection of the case not only reflects our country's excellent The investigators also saw the patriotism and patriotism of the broad masses of the people.
Lin Hua is just an ordinary airport inspector, but it was precisely because of his high patriotism and enthusiasm for protecting the country that he uncovered this shocking rat case and protected our country's national interests.
China is a peace-loving country, but our family will never allow other forces to provoke. We would like to sincerely advise those who are ready to take action. It is not impossible to keep the sword unsheathed, it is just that you don’t want to, so don’t make the mistake!
