In November 1949, New China was just established, and the central government began to deal with many unresolved old cases in various places. In the history of the Party's development, many unsolved cases remained in many places. After this order was issued, localities immediately began to re-invest cases that were not handled in the past.
Just after the work was released to the local area, Chairman Mao found Luo Ruiqing, and at the Chairman's instructions, a golden robbery was then distributed to East China Bureau .
After receiving the task of solving this case, the staff felt it was very difficult for a moment. However, when they learned that the case was chosen by the Chairman and Luo Ruiqing was responsible, everyone took it seriously and began to investigate the golden robbery in 1931.
In September 1931, under the instructions of Comintern , Zhou Enlai, Wang Ming and others were the leaders of the main party organization, and a Provisional Central Committee was established in Shanghai.
However, at this time, the central party organization in Shanghai was facing a huge crisis. Before that, the Kuomintang had already begun a long-term policy of the Qing Communist Party. Originally, the Shanghai Party organization developed relatively smoothly under the leadership of Zhou Enlai and others, but in April, Gu Shunzhang was arrested by the Kuomintang. After
was arrested, Gu Shunzhang immediately betrayed and confessed all the secrets of the CCP in Shanghai and the Soviet area.
For a time, the entire Shanghai party organization was facing a situation of destruction. The unfortunate thing did not end. Xiang Zhongfa was arrested in August. He also chose to rebel and confessed all the secrets he knew.
The rebellion of the two people brought a devastating blow to the central government. Although with the efforts of Zhou Enlai and others, many party members successfully escaped the pursuit of the Kuomintang and quickly rebuilt the temporary central government. But after this series of blows, the newly established temporary central government can no longer maintain it.
The previous few clearances, the central government transferred a large number of personnel, but still suffered huge losses. Zhou Enlai and others rebuild the central government, not only lacking manpower, but the most rare thing is that there is no funding available in the organization.
Everyone knows that if the temporary central government is to resume and continue to carry out work in Shanghai, a large amount of funds will be required.
On the one hand, we must provide party members with funds for activities, and on the other hand, the families of the party members who sacrificed a large number of party members still need pensions. What's more, Shanghai is in a white terror period. Without more funding, the central government will not be able to work under the enemy's nose.
faces this dilemma, and the temporary central government needs financial support very much. The strength of party organizations in Shanghai and other places is already very weak, and the surrounding areas have been severely hit by the Kuomintang and cannot provide any support.
Therefore, there are only two sources of funds that can rely on at the moment. One is from the Communist International. During the establishment of the Party, the Communist International has been the source of funding for the Party organizations for a long time. They have provided a lot of financial support for the establishment and activities of the Communist Party of China.
But this road is not feasible at the moment, because the funds and other assistance provided by the Communist International need to be transferred from abroad. So when applying for aid, the Communist International agreed to allocate funds, so a special person needs to find a way to bring the money from abroad to the country, and then find a way to deliver the money to Shanghai.
This method will definitely take a lot of time and it is extremely dangerous throughout the process. After learning about the CCP’s large number of secrets, the Kuomintang has been trying to cut off the CCP’s ties with the Communist International, which will naturally strengthen surveillance of this route.
Moreover, even though the journey was very smooth, the temporary central government was anxious to use the money at this time. If there was no funds entering in a short period of time, the central government would be unable to maintain it.
Therefore, the central government of has no time to wait for the assistance from the Communist International. The only place that can be relied on is the second place, that is, the Soviet government established by Mao Zedong and others.
Like the central government of Shanghai, the Soviet government led by Mao Zedong and others was hit hard by the enemy. Moreover, the rebellion of Gu Shunzhang and others also caused great losses to Soviet area . At this time, the Soviet area not only faced the encirclement and suppression of powerful enemies, but also the blockade of the surrounding white area, but also needed to solve internal economic problems.
Temporary Central Committee knew about these situations, but they had no choice. Bogu and others immediately called the Soviet area and told them all the problems facing the Temporary Central Committee.
After learning about the dilemma faced by the central government, Mao Zedong and other Soviet leaders discussed the matter. Although everyone was not rich, Mao Zedong finally decided to free up funds from the Soviet finances to support the temporary central government.
In the end, the Soviet area took out 120 taels of gold. Although this money cannot solve the long-term problem, there is no problem to use it to help the central government overcome difficulties. The money problem of
has been solved, but the next step is the most difficult, that is, how to send this money to the central government.
You should know that during the White Terror period, the Kuomintang did a thorough job of encirclement and infiltration of the Soviet area, and through traitors like Gu Shunzhang, the Kuomintang mastered many internal secrets of the Soviet area.
Therefore, the activities of the Soviet government are also under strict surveillance, and the money needs to be carried out by intelligence personnel in charge of long-distance transportation. Along the way, you must not only pass through the hinterland of the Kuomintang rule, but also beware of other enemies that may appear along the way.
In that era, China's public security was not the same as there was no public order. The poor rule of the Kuomintang left a large number of illegal people in the local area.
At that time, people were robbed by evil people on the road. This is something that happens frequently. Local governments have no ability to manage it at all, and cases often cannot be reviewed.
is on the road with this money, and you may encounter bad people who are jealous of money at any time. This requires a careful escort plan to avoid such problems as possible. The task of
was handed over to Lin Boqu. As the People's Committee of the Finance of the Soviet Area at that time, he was responsible for managing the finance work of the Soviet Area. Lin Boqu received an order early on, requiring the money to be freed from the Finance of the Soviet Area and to find a way to escort to Shanghai.
Lin Boqu took on the heavy responsibility at once. He did not complain, but immediately started to take action. Lin Boqu collected this batch of gold in a short time, and then the issue of escorting it.
First of all, he found that these golds were not suitable for long-distance transportation, and there was no systematic gold mining in the Soviet area at that time. Most of the gold in your hands was seized by the local tyrant landlords. There were a lot of these gold styles, including a lot of gold jewelry and utensils. It is definitely not safe to bring these things up like this, so Lin Boqu asked someone to process the batch of gold and made them into 10 taels of gold bars, which would be easier to carry and easier to hide.
Then, Lin Boqu had many discussions with other comrades in charge of this task, and everyone finally formulated a careful plan. The entire gold transportation process is carried out by seven intelligence officers, each of whom escorted a section and handed over to the next intelligence officer after reaching the designated location.
In order to do a good job of confidentiality, Lin Boqu and others made a special voucher. He wrote a word, then asked someone to make a special seal, and divided different strokes based on the words on the seal to represent the seven intelligence officers.
The strokes represented by each person are placed at the handover point in advance, and the lock and key are arranged in advance. In this case, the intelligence officer will take the things to find the online line that is handed over to him, and hand over the lock, key and object to the online line. If the online line is launched, you need to hand over the voucher that represents you to the intelligence officer. After
is handed over, the online intelligence officer will continue to perform the transportation task, and the intelligence officer who completes the task needs to bring back the certificate he has obtained as a proof of confirming the handed over. Finally, Lin Boqu and others obtained the progress information of the gold escort based on the recycled stroke vouchers.
As the general person in charge of this operation, Lin Boqu is responsible for these tasks, but in order to keep it confidential, he himself did not know a lot of information in the operation. For example, he didn't know the specific location of the seven intelligence officers' handover, the specific route of transportation, etc.
It is impossible for each department to actually formulate the plan to grasp all the secrets to ensure the security of the action.After everything was ready, on November 6, 1931, the batch of gold set off from Ruijin under the escort of intelligence officers and began this important gold escort operation.
In fact, the route formulated for this escort was very safe. According to the plan: the intelligence officer set out from Ruijin, and then in turn was Nanping —Fuzhou— Wenzhou — Jinhua —Hangzhou— Songjiang —Shanghai.
This is the best route. Along the way, we avoid the core areas controlled by the Kuomintang as much as possible, and there are also support from local party organizations on the route. For this route in the Soviet area, the estimated escort time is about one month.
Lin Boqu and others have been waiting for the news, hoping that gold can arrive on time to help the central government solve the problem of funding. But from the end of that month, the feedback made them uneasy.
Due to the distance of the handover site, each intelligence officer may not be able to bring back the successful handover certificate in time after the handover is handed over. After all, everything that may happen is impossible to pass on such information.
Therefore, the Soviet area could only grasp the general escort situation. As for what happened, they were not particularly clear. Until the end of the month, the central government sent a message to collect money, which made the Soviet area realize that gold has not arrived at the central government at the moment. But at the beginning, no investigation was launched.
Because this journey is definitely not easy to walk, anything happens on the road is possible. When we first formulated the plan, we had already considered the possible situation. We didn't arrive within the scheduled time, which is something that everyone had thought of long ago. The road may be delayed, and we may arrive later.
Everyone continued to wait with this mood, but the development of things was not as good as expected.
Starting from the first letter, all they waited for was the Central Committee's serial calls for payment, so the Central Committee naturally had no chance to deceive them. By the end of December, the central government sent five urgent telegrams, and now the Soviet area realized that something was wrong. They communicated with the central government through intelligence personnel and confirmed this fact, the central government did not receive gold.
Now, everyone became even more uneasy. Many people had a guess in their minds that something might happen to gold on the road. But what is wrong with the link? This requires the handover vouchers.
However, due to various factors, it was not until early 1932 that the Soviet Security Bureau finally received all the handover certificates sent back. As expected, everyone's guess was confirmed, and only six were collected in total. To be on the safe side, the Security Bureau found Lin Boqu and others and asked them to identify the authenticity of these stroke certificates first.
After repeated identification by Lin Boqu and others, it was confirmed that these certificates were issued by them. The missing certificate was held by intelligence officers from Songjiang to Shanghai.
Therefore, everyone immediately confirmed the location of the accident, and the incident occurred on the last section of the escort. But this is the place that makes everyone unable to start.
Because Songjiang is already far away from the Soviet area and is still in the core area of the white area. The party organization does not have enough strength to conduct large-scale investigations in the Soviet area. The only way to
is to be investigated by Shanghai's Central Special Core . They have enough intelligence network in Shanghai, and infiltrating is more convenient than comrades in the Soviet area.
The problem is that the escort process is the highest secret within the Soviet area, and Lin Boqu doesn't know many things, let alone the Central Special Section. Not only do they not know the information about the escort route, they even don’t know all the information on the handover personnel, location, etc. In this case, they had no way to investigate. In this way, both the Soviet area and the central government were anxious, but there was no way. Finally, I thought of a solution and tried to contact the intelligence officer on the last section of the road, but this person was like the evaporated from the world and could never contact him again.
So far, this mysterious gold loss case has become a unsolved case within the party.The loss of this batch of gold in
caused an extremely serious impact. The central government of Shanghai was ultimately unable to continue to gain a foothold in Shanghai and was forced to transfer it.
At the same time, a group of people, mainly Wang Ming and others, immediately seized the matter and pointed the finger at Mao Zedong. Under their inspiration, people kept making trouble with this matter, and even conspired to spread rumors about Mao Zedong directing and acting on this drama.
This incident became an important weapon for Wang Ming and others to attack Mao Zedong, and also became one of the main reasons why Mao Zedong was marginalized.
Therefore, this case has always troubled Mao Zedong and the people in charge of this matter in the Soviet area. Everyone wants to know what happened that year, but as the central government continues to shift, the party organization is getting farther and farther away from Shanghai, and the investigation of this case can only be left alone.
After the founding of the country, Chairman Mao finally had the opportunity to restart the investigation of this case, and he handed the case to Luo Ruiqing, who is most suitable for handling the matter.
When the golden case happened that year, Luo Ruiqing was in the Soviet area, but was injured due to previous battles and had to recover for a long time. Therefore, he was unable to participate in the investigation of the case, but he did not forget about it. After receiving the order from the chairman, he immediately coordinated with the East China Bureau to start the investigation of the case.
At this time, 18 years have passed since the gold case. Although the East China Bureau attaches great importance to it, many people realize that it is basically unrealistic to find out after so long.
However, Shanghai still dispatched a group of capable agents to start the investigation. The investigators immediately came to Beijing because if they want to start the investigation, they must first understand the situation with the parties involved.
There were many people in charge of this matter in the Soviet area at that time, and the people who came into contact with the secrets were Lin Boqu, Deng Fa and others. Unfortunately, Deng Fa has passed away. Fortunately, after Lin Boqu saw the investigation team, he told them what happened that year. He still remembers many important details.
Lin Boqu provided a key intelligence, that is, among the intelligence officers responsible for escorting gold, one of them was the guard of Gao Zili, a land people's committee member of the Soviet area.
So, the investigation team hurried to find Gao Zili. Gao Zili has been busy with local work since its founding of the People's Republic of China and unfortunately fell seriously ill. He received news of investigating the case in advance and wrote down everything he knew. He then passed away before the investigation team arrived.
Gao Zili left behind news about the guards on his deathbed, which became the key to solving the case. The guards worked in the army.
According to the news left by Gao Zili, the investigation team finally found the guard Qin Pu. The intelligence officer who was responsible for transporting gold back then was now a deputy division commander. When Qin Pu saw the investigation team re-investigating the matter, he felt mixed feelings in his heart, and he always felt very regretful about the case.
So, he told the investigation team everything he knew. Qin Pu and the others, as the intelligence officers who were escorting, did not know what was inside. The section he was responsible for was to hand over the road to Nanping, but he did not know the real name of the road. Fortunately, Qin Pu still remembers the general appearance of the man. At that time, he was a temple prayer.
After learning this information, the investigators rushed to Nanping immediately, but unexpectedly found the temple prayer. Through the information provided by the temple Zhu, they continued to follow the route of that year and investigated Hangzhou step by step, and found Liu Zhichun, an intelligence officer at the handover point in Hangzhou.
Back then, Liu Zhichun just did some physical work in the local area to make a living, but there was a school near him who was a Communist Party member, and he had a very good relationship with Liu Zhichun. was influenced by this person, and Liu Zhichun finally joined the Communist Party of China. However, he has always been a secret line for the party organization to ambush locally and has never had the opportunity to get in touch with revolutionary work on weekdays.
Until one day, the organization found him and handed over the task to him. Liu Zhichun didn't know his specific work situation, and he didn't know what he was escorting, but with his enthusiasm for the revolution, he still resolutely carried out this task.
Later, due to various factors, Liu Zhichun was unable to reconnect with the organization, so he lived a peaceful life.
Perhaps it was because of the will of God that Liu Zhichun left the organization for some reason, but instead allowed him to survive in the white area. His appearance made the case investigation a breakthrough. Although Liu Zhichun was not clear about the intelligence officer information of the road section Songjiang Station , he, like Qin Pu, remembered the person's appearance.
This person is a middle-aged man wearing a black cheongsam. He once moved into the Hanyuan Storehouse. Based on this clue, the investigation team immediately began to look for the people in Hanyuan's house. After some search, although they found the boss Lin Hanyuan, this person had suffered a stroke for many years and could not provide any information at all.
Fortunately, Chu Guobao, the accountant in the storehouse, was also present, so the investigation team began to look for Chu Guobao. didn't expect that this person survived due to various factors. Because he was involved in a robbery, he has been imprisoned in prison, so he escaped many wars and is still living well in Suzhou prison.
When the investigation team found Chu Guobao, he could not remember the person. However, when Chu Guobao was closing the inn, he took the inn home out of his professional instinct.
He has been in prison for many years, and the account books are kept in his home. Unfortunately, the account book does record the person's accommodation, but it has no reference value.
In desperation, the investigation team considered that this person might have stayed in Songjiang and Hangzhou in advance in order to hand over the transfer, so they investigated the inns and hotels in Songjiang and other places one by one. Unfortunately, no one found the whereabouts of this person. Just when the investigation team was helping with the investigation team, the cadres of the Songjiang Military Sub-district entertained the people of the investigation team. During the meal, Master Bai was also introduced to them to cook. Unexpectedly, Master Bai learned about what they were investigating and made a guess.
It turns out that inns and hotels in Songjiang are not only available for accommodation. At that time, the Kuomintang set up a special guesthouse in the local security group to facilitate meetings, which can also provide accommodation. The information of
made the investigation team overjoyed. They immediately found the location of the guesthouse. Unexpectedly, in the archive room in the special area, the accommodation records of the guesthouse were kept. In this way, after repeated research, the investigation team found a man named Liang Bichun from the record.
This person once worked in a Chinese medicine bureau in Shanghai. The investigation team found an old man from the Chinese medicine bureau that year and learned from the old man that Liang Bichun had indeed mysteriously disappeared. Then, and the others posted the photos of Liang Bichun found to Liu Zhichun, and Liu Zhichun recognized Liang Bichun as his online at a glance.
learned about this, and the investigation team became more confident and immediately began the journey of finding Liang Bichun. Years have passed, and it is not easy to find someone who has disappeared for so many years. Fortunately, the investigation team has become more careful and divided a group to search for Liang Bichun's hometown Jiading . Unexpectedly, they really found Liang Bichun's whereabouts from the local old people.
On March 4, 1950, the investigation team finally found Liang Bichun. Now he has changed his name to Shen Jigu and lives in Yangjing Town, Pudong.
At this point, the truth of the gold case was revealed. It turned out that Liang Bichun rushed to Shanghai with gold. He had just crossed the river and arrived at Caojiadu when he was targeted by a group of hooligans.
These people lured and robbed Liang Bichun and robbed all the gold. Liang Bichun was scared and never contacted the organization again and lived a life in hiding his identity. The investigation team immediately contacted the local police in Caojiadu and surrounding departments to find the bad guys who robbed Liang Bichun that year.
Although Liang Bichun was afraid back then, he kept some key evidence. Later, under the report of local people, Liu Agu and Ji Jiagui, who robbed Liang Bichun, were arrested one after another. They were eventually sentenced to death by .
Liang Bichun was eventually sentenced for crimes such as " neglect of duty ", but he was later released and ended up with a regulatory ending. In the end, this decades of unsolved case was miraculously solved with the unremitting efforts of the investigation team.
