"Dust Sealed Archives" Series-Yangcheng Infant Theft Case

1. Theft of a newborn baby

April 1, 1950. Guangzhou City.

At dawn, a passenger tricycle drove to the gate of the Yuexiu branch of the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau. A man in his thirties got out of the car and rushed to the wooden guard box on the side of the gate, before the guard sent any questions. He yelled in a crying voice, "Comrade, my son is gone--someone has stolen it!"

The man who came to report the crime was named He Yu, who lives in Xiguan Embroidery Workshop. Speaking of Embroidery Workshop, many old Guangzhou may know its origin: During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many South Fujianese came to Guangzhou to make a living, mainly engaged in maritime transportation and foreign trade. These people lived in two places in Guangzhou. One was Xiguan Embroidery Workshop, where merchants lived; the sailors lived near the later Haizhu Bridge. Due to the large number of residents, a village was formed. The name of the birthplace was called "Fujian Village", which was later renamed "Fujian Street". These two places used to be famous places in Guangzhou. "Guangzhou Xiguan Zhuzhi Ci" says: "My aunt's home is near the embroidery workshop, and she was married to Fujian merchants who used to take advantage of the ocean. Carrying Hainan Xiang.” From this, it can be judged that these residents who lived in Xiguan Embroidery Workshop at that time should be in good family conditions.

He Yu's ancestor is one of these wealthy residents. He Yu's grandfather married his wife of Sanfang, and he has 14 children in total, which is called a big family. He Jiyuan’s father, He Jiyuan, is one of the six males out of 14 children. He is the youngest. After he married at the age of eighteen, he has the heaviest burden on his shoulders. It is not economic pressure, but inherited from generations. A heavy burden-after the five older brothers above him got married-all the daughters were born one after another. At that time, it was emphasized that "there are three unfilial piety, and there is no filial piety." The birth of a son is the first-class virtue closely linked to filial piety. This shows how important it is. After He Yu got married, his wife had also given birth to three daughters three times in ten years. At that time, medicine was still underdeveloped, and there was no B-ultrasound to help determine the sex of the fetus in advance. Every time He Yu’s wife gave birth, the entire family members waited eagerly for the result. After the birth of the third daughter, the grandfather, who had been holding on to the sick body and eagerly looking forward to the birth of a baby boy, was finally completely disappointed, leaving behind a sentence of "Why is my life so miserable?" and then let go.

After the death of the old man, it was his father He Jiyuan's turn to take charge of the housekeeping. There was no financial problem. Although their family had withdrawn from the business world at that time, the savings of the ancestors were still considerable, and it was still a wealthy and wealthy family. He Jiyuan took the lead and allocated 30% of the ancestral property as a special fund. He convened a family meeting with six sons and said that your daughter-in-law is still fertile. You can consider continuing to have children in each house. Which house is the best? If you leave your son, this special fund will go to the house. In a word, it is to use material to encourage the birth of a son early and take on the important task of inheriting the lineage.

New China was established at that time, but the country did not promote family planning. Instead, it encouraged the common people to have more children. Whose daughter-in-law gave birth to more children and grew stronger would be praised, such as twins or triplets. , That is the "Glorious Mother", and the local heads will come to the door to give condolences. The daughter-in-laws of the He family are naturally motivated by the double encouragement of the national policy and family policy. Anyway, the family is well-off. Even if the baby girl is born, there is no financial worries. Therefore, every room responded positively. In the past three years, a total of eight people have been added to the family. Unfortunately, all of them are still female. At that time, the house price was cheap, and the interest from that considerable fund of my father was enough to buy a house.

He Yu and his wife are the calmest couple in the six rooms. In the past three years, the other five rooms have stubbornly responded to the call of the country and dad, only He Yu and his wife stayed still. He Yu works in a bank. His wife, Cui Donghui, is a housewife-she is now promoted as a "full-time wife", but if he is a literary one, he is a college classmate. This intellectual couple was not particularly enthusiastic about this family competition, so it was delayed until early summer of last year that Cui Donghui was pregnant with her fourth child. For He Jiyuan, this is a new hope, but He Yu and his wife are not optimistic, so they are relatively calm. It was not until after Cui Donghui gave birth on the afternoon of March 29 that this finally aroused the unanimous cheers of the entire He family-years of hopes were finally realized, giving birth to a fat boy weighing seven pounds!

He Jiyuan was overjoyed. The previously controlled hypertension was about to make a comeback. After taking antihypertensive drugs imported from the United States, he turned over and over again with the "Kangxi Dictionary" and finally got up for his grandson. A resounding name-Qi Chuang, means to start a new era that created the He family. also,He Jiyuan also wrote a word to his grandson, saying: Dingding. Then, I sat in the middle of the town and called the parents of each house to a meeting to discuss how to collectively raise this precious grandson who was born with the family's high expectations. After some discussions, I made arrangements and division of labor for all the following matters, large and small. The hospital had already hired a nursing worker in accordance with the previous practice of giving birth to a baby girl. Now that a boy was born, he needed to strengthen his strength, so he immediately added two. Three nurses were on duty in three shifts to take care of the baby. As for the mothers, the maids originally employed by the family are assigned to take care of them. Considering that his grandson needs high-quality breastfeeding, He Jiyuan specially booked the nutritious dishes cooked by the top chef Du Guanbao personally for ten days from the famous restaurant "Dadefu Restaurant" in Yangcheng.

It should be said that if this matter is regarded as an important project, then this family meeting of the He family has already arranged the relevant matters of the project quite appropriately. However, they overlooked an important issue: the personal safety of newborn babies. However, cases such as theft of babies, let alone the new society after liberation, are rare in the old society. Therefore, although there are many people who care about He Qichuang's children, no one will pay special attention to the point of "anti-theft".

The hospital where He Qichuang was born is located on the front road of Yuexiu District Office. This is a hospital founded by Mr. William, a British medical doctor, in the late Qing Dynasty. Just as Chinese doctors like to use their own names as their names when opening clinics, Dr. William named the hospital "William Obstetrics Hospital". As the name suggests, the hospital is a specialized hospital that provides services to pregnant women. The William Hospital is small in scale and has maintained fifty beds since its inception. In China at that time, the birth rate of babies was relatively low, and the lives of the mothers were often taken in. Adults and children stepped into the Palace of Hades together. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that "birth is a step into the gate of ghosts with one foot." Dr. William's business philosophy is "Do everything possible to welcome every newborn baby and ensure the safety of mothers and babies". Exquisite medical skills, first-class hardware facilities and good service make the birth rate of infants at William Hospital rank first in Yangcheng. Of course, the fees are staggeringly expensive. But foreigners are targeting the wealthy. Of course, high-end services require high-end charges. Even with the high fees, the beds in the William Obstetrics Hospital have been very tight, not only in Guangzhou, but also in other places in Guangdong Province. Rich and wealthy women from Guangxi, Fujian and even Hong Kong also come here.Spend money to be safe for mothers and babies.

On October 23, 1938, the Japanese army occupied Guangzhou. The William Hospital is still open, and there is still an endless stream of women who come to give birth. After the Pacific War broke out, the William Hospital was forcibly taken over by the Japanese as an enemy property. Dr. William and other Western experts were sent to a concentration camp because they refused to stay in the hospital. The Japanese army then changed the hospital to a military hospital dedicated to the recovery and treatment of senior military officers until the end of World War II.

After Japan surrendered , Dr. William took back the hospital and still maintained the original operating method. In November 1948, Dr. William passed away, and the hospital was run by his son William Jr., and everything was business as usual. After the liberation of Guangzhou, William Jr. still ran this hospital. However, due to the war and the alternation of the old and new regimes, the wealthy class in Guangzhou was greatly reduced, and the number of hospital service recipients decreased accordingly, and there was a problem in operation. At this time, the William family changed, and his hometown in London asked William Jr. to return to England to inherit the inheritance. William Jr. weighed repeatedly and finally decided: donate the hospital to the Guangzhou Municipal People's Government free of charge. In this way, the "William Obstetrics Hospital" was renamed "Xin Yue Obstetrics Hospital", and at the same time changed its business philosophy to cater to the general public.

After the hospital was renamed, the charges were naturally greatly reduced in accordance with national regulations, but the quality of medical services has been kept as much as possible. Because of its limited scale and limited number of beds, it became the most difficult hospital in Guangzhou to make an appointment at that time. It is said that as soon as they found out that they were pregnant, they took medical records from other hospitals and went to make an appointment for delivery. Cui Donghui didn't have such a sense of urgency, because one of her relatives was a doctor in this hospital and could open a back door. In this way, she was admitted to the hospital on March 28, the day before the due date of delivery, and gave birth smoothly the next day, giving birth to a baby boy. At that time, no one thought that the birth of He Qichuang's child would also cause trouble to the criminal police comrades of the Yuexiu branch.

This very troublesome case for criminal police took place at about 5 o'clock in the morning on this day. For a parturient woman like Cui Donghui, according to the service rules of the William Hospital in the past, she is of course to be admitted to a single delivery room. However, this wish cannot be fulfilled now, because after the reform of the hospital, the single delivery room was abolished, and there were no double delivery rooms and triple delivery rooms, and the smallest delivery room had four people. Cui Donghui’s relatives who work in the hospital won for her a four-person delivery room with good orientation and light.The bed is still next to the window. The new hospital has reformed its rules and regulations. For example, it was originally stipulated that the family members of the pregnant women can only visit and not accompany the night, but now it is allowed to accompany the night, but only for one person. On the night of the incident, Aunt Liu, a temporarily hired care worker, accompanied the night. She is one of the three nursing workers employed by the He family. She lives in a hotel near the hospital where the He family pays to rent for the nursing workers. She goes to the hospital for eight hours a day and night. The He family also rented a room in the hotel, which was for other female relatives of the He family to stay in rotation. Because according to the arrangement of the head of the family, Mr. He Jiyuan, there must be a family member here to handle all matters at any time. During the visit time allowed by the hospital, he enters the delivery room to help care for the mother, and stays in the hotel room the rest of the time. As the husband of the mother and the father of the child, He Yu is of course the one among the relatives who ran the most frequently to the hospital. His second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law should be on duty this evening, but he came directly from the bank after work. He stayed in the delivery room until the visiting time was over before leaving reluctantly, and went to the hotel with the two sister-in-laws. , Chatted for a while, and said that I would not go back at all, let's spend the night here, and then opened another room to live in.

Let's talk about the maternity hospital. Aunt Liu took over from the hotel at ten o'clock in the evening. Cui Donghui was already asleep, and the newborn was sleeping. She sat down next to the crib and went to boiled water again, ready to use it at any time if the mother wanted to drink. Aunt Liu is a rural person in the suburbs of Guangzhou. She has been helping others in Qianjincheng for two years. She is only 23 years old. Young people are slumbering, and if there is something on duty at night, they can still support it. If there is nothing to do, they will easily fall asleep when sitting. This was the case at the time. At first, she insisted on not closing her eyes. After three o'clock, she felt tired and uncomfortable, so she sat next to the crib and took a nap. She was quite heavy in this nap, until the baby woke up from crying, she didn't even wake up yet. It was the nurse who heard the movement and came over to check before waking her up. Aunt Liu felt very sorry for this. Hurry up to change the baby's diaper, and apologetically hold the baby to her mother to breastfeed. When Cui Donghui gave her son to Aunt Liu after breastfeeding, the baby fell asleep again. She put the baby on the crib and watched Cui Donghui fall asleep, then picked up the baby's diaper and went to the bathroom to wash.

It should be said that Aunt Liu is a woman of that type of rough personality. She may be suitable for an old mother who does rough work, but she is not suitable for a confinement mother who waits for a pregnant woman to take care of her baby. After she returned to the delivery room, she didn't even look at the crib.Just sat down in the original position. Just a moment later, he turned his head and fell asleep in the corner again.

Half an hour later, He Yu, who woke up early, came out of the hotel and slipped to the maternity yard. When he came to the delivery room, he saw Aunt Liu dozing at a glance, and he didn't care. He was tired. People who stayed up late were especially prone to fall asleep when the day was about to dawn. Anyway, those who dozed off in the crib would not be a problem. Then, he wanted to see mother and son. The lights in the delivery room are all off. He had to adjust his eyes to see it through the light coming in from the corridor. The wife slept soundly, even snoring slightly. Then he turned his gaze to the crib, and when he saw it, he couldn't help being surprised: Why is it empty? Where's the child?

At this time, Aunt Liu was awakened, she opened her eyes to see He Yu standing in front of him, got up quickly, and was about to ask, her gaze followed He Yu's eyes, and she was shocked. "Ah" With a soft cry, Cui Donghui was awakened. Following that, Cui's scream immediately awakened the other people in the delivery room.

The two nurses on duty heard the movement and rushed to check, they were shocked when they saw it. Suddenly, all the movable people in the entire ward spontaneously helped to find the baby, but they were nowhere to be seen!

Right now, without a word, He Tan rushed to the Yuexiu Public Security Bureau and reported this rare theft to the police officer on duty. The Yuexiu branch then assigned two criminal police officers to the Xinyue Obstetrics Hospital to investigate the scene and investigate the situation.


Second, the suspicious third sister-in-law

When criminal police Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng arrived at the hospital, the civilian police designated by the Qianqian Road Police Station had arrived at the hospital first. Mai Mai is a young policeman in his early twenties who has only participated in public security work for four months. He has limited experience, less courage, and cautious nature. He knows he can't deal with such a case, so what he did after arriving at the hospital was nothing. It is to protect the scene and ask everyone, including hospital personnel, to return to the house where they were originally staying, and wait for the criminal police from the sub-bureau to come.

Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng can be regarded as senior investigators compared with Mai. They were locals in Guangzhou and were junior high school students when the Anti-Japanese War broke out. After the Japanese occupation of Guangzhou, the pair of classmates joined the anti-Japanese guerrillas under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party. Because of my young age, I am from Guangzhou again,Therefore, the organization arranged for them to be scouts, and also specialized relevant training. Later, due to the war, they lost contact with the guerrillas and returned to Guangzhou to work. Only after three years did they continue their relationship and continue to engage in intelligence work. After the liberation of Guangzhou, the two were organized to work in the public security system. The two are very good partners, and they have jointly solved seven criminal cases in less than half a year.

At the moment, after the pair arrived at the hospital, they were very satisfied with the measures to protect the wheat, but soon discovered that before the arrival of wheat, doctors, nurses, care workers, family members and other personnel were walking around looking for the lost baby. Destroy the traces of the scene. Of course, this was discovered later. After Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng talked to Mai for a few words to understand the situation, they said that we were checking the scene, Mai You organized several people to search the various places in the hospital, especially the wells, to see if the baby was killed.

Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng then surveyed the scene and first checked the delivery room No. 5 where the case occurred. The mothers, newborns, nurses, and family members there have all been transferred from the hospital to other delivery rooms. Zhu and Sun surveyed the location of Cui Donghui’s bed. This location includes maternity beds, cribs, bedside tables, etc., which are close to the south-facing window. The crib is next to the wall under the window sill. Start by climbing up the window sill and bend over and carry the baby out of the crib. The detective asked Aunt Liu, the attendant nurse, and she said that she could not remember whether the latch of the window was bolted. So how does the window open at this moment? Who opened it again? Aunt Liu replied that she might have been awakened by He Tan and found that the baby was missing. She opened the window and looked outside, but she couldn't remember whether the latch was moved when she opened it. The detective asked He Yu and Cui Donghui again, but they were also anxiously confused at the time, and no one could tell.

The detective inspected the windows and window sills, but nothing was gained. Checking the ground outside the window again, nothing was found. The ground outside the window of the delivery room is a piece of rubble and broken bricks. Only thick frost and thin snow can leave footprints on this ground. With the primitive criminal investigation techniques at the time, the criminal police could not extract anything.

The criminal police couldn't judge whether the perpetrator started the crime through the window of the delivery room, so he turned to investigate another possibility-whether the perpetrator entered the delivery room through the door.

The delivery area of ​​this hospital consists of two bungalows,They are called production areas A and B respectively, and production area A is where the case occurred. The two production areas are facing south and facing east to west. There are entrances and exits in the corridors on both sides, but they are closed and locked at night. The entrance and exit at night is the south-facing middle door located in the middle of the bungalow. Inside the middle door are the doctor's room and the nurse's room. If someone sneaks in in the middle of the night, the doctor or nurse should be able to hear the movement. But there is only one doctor on duty at night, in charge of the two producing areas. The doctor on duty this evening was from production area B, and he stayed in the office of production area B when he was on duty. Production area A would come here only if something was notified, so there was no one in the doctor’s office in production area A where the case occurred. . The doctor was not present, so the criminal police asked the two nurses on duty if they had heard any movement during the time of the crime. Both nurses shook their heads. The detective said then we want to know what are you doing at that time? -Sit behind the door and sort out the medical records at the table. What about the other one? I'm sorry, I was a little sleepy, and I took a small nap, but I was still awakened by Cui Donghui's movement.

Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng exchanged opinions briefly, thinking that regardless of whether the perpetrator uses the door or the window as the channel for the crime, there is one thing he cannot avoid-he must enter and leave the hospital. So, where did the perpetrator get in and out of the hospital? Xinyue Hospital is surrounded by walls. The walls are designed and supervised by Old William. The walls are three meters high. It is difficult for ordinary thieves to climb even with their hands empty, not to mention holding a baby in their arms. The detective then turned his attention to the front and back doors. The front door is guarded by guards day and night. Once ten o'clock in the evening, the door will be closed and locked. People entering or leaving must be opened by the guard. I asked the guard Lao Luo and said that no one asked to open the door in the middle of the night. The back door is next to the kitchen, and there is a guard room, but there is no full-time guard, and there are two cooks who are on duty at night. According to hospital regulations, the chefs on night shifts are also responsible for going to the market in the morning to purchase raw materials for the meal of the day, including breakfasts for early-morning women and medical staff. Therefore, one of them had to get up before four o'clock in the morning and go out to purchase. It was the cook Lao Zhou who went out this morning. He went out through the back door. As usual, he did not wake the other cook Lao Zhang to close the door. Therefore, the back door was concealed after four o'clock, and the father of the stolen baby had slipped in through the back door before.

Therefore, the criminal police judged that the perpetrator also entered and exited the hospital through this door.When I asked Lao Zhang, I learned that he got up after 4:30, and He Tan entered the delivery room and found that his son was stolen at 4:27. From this, we can conclude that the perpetrator opened the back door at 4 o'clock in Lao Zhou. How dare you be involved in the twenty-odd minutes of entering the hospital.

At this time, Wheat brought the hospital staff and the family members of the stolen baby to end the entire hospital inspection. Not only the two wells, but also the hidden corners of the house, such as the water tank, stove, and coal pile, were carefully inspected. No signs of infant death were found. At this point, the investigation on the scene came to an end. After Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng discussed with Mai, they decided to take He Yu, Aunt Liu, two nurses on duty and other relevant personnel to the Shuqian Road Police Station to make transcripts.

When the group arrived at the police station, it was already time for work. At that time, the urban police station, as a basic unit of the public security organ, was mainly responsible for managing household registration, grasping information and internal control object dynamics, and handling general public security cases. For criminal cases that were sufficient for filing a case, there was no independent investigative power, and branch offices and The Municipal Bureau handles it. This case is also the case. Therefore, after Zhu and Sun arrived at the police station, they did not ventilate with the director and instructor. The other party said that the branch was calling and asked you to make a call.

The sub-bureau called and ordered the case to be filed for investigation. Zhu Bochun, Sun Wusheng and a policeman from the police station will investigate the case together. Since the police station is close to Xinyue Hospital, the office can be located in the police station. If necessary, the hospital office can also be requisitioned as a temporary office. This is actually the establishment of a special investigation team, but at that time, the situation of missing babies was not as important as it is now, so the establishment of the special team was not officially announced, and no one was appointed to be responsible. The police station designated wheat to participate in the investigation, so that the three of them officially began to act.

still followed the previous method. First, they separately recorded the reconsideration of the parties, and then notified them not to leave the place of work or residence for the time being, because it is possible to find them again at any time to find out the situation. After the matter was completed, the three criminal police officers concentrated on analyzing the case in one place. Based on the particularity of the He family on the issue of male descendants that He Yu introduced earlier, they focused on the property issue closely related to the newborn baby He Qichuang. According to the reward policy formulated by the head of the He family, He Jiyuan, which one of the six houses in the family gets the son first, the house can get 30% of the inheritance right of the ancestral property. He Jiyuan’s hand is too powerful.The He family’s ancestral heritage, not to mention gold and silver, antiques, calligraphy and painting, precious and delicate, the rent of the house that is known to each house alone is three to four times the monthly salary of the bank clerk He Yu. That's too much! It is conceivable that the news of Cui Donghui's giving birth to other rooms, especially the other three daughter-in-laws who are already pregnant, has stimulated. Therefore, Interpol believes that theft of babies may be related to property issues.

Analyzed in this way, the trio’s eyebrows could not help but tightened: if the perpetrator was indeed motivated by such a motive, then there may be a problem with the life safety of He Qichuang’s children, because only to kill him, the next one Only the house of the most husband’s son can get this reward fund. However, since the body of the missing baby was not found in the hospital, it means that the above inference may not be true. Perhaps the perpetrator has nothing to do with the He family, but a kidnapping case committed by a guy who knows the He family's reward policy for ill-gotten gains. Zhu Bochun finally expressed his opinion: If it is a kidnapping case, then the kidnapper should have news to the baby's parents today. If there is no news today, it must not be kidnapping. Whether it is kidnapping or not, our investigation is still a race against time.

Sun and Mai agreed with Zhu Bochun's point of view, so they decided to convene a symposium with the adult members of the six rooms of the He family, asking each to explain in public the activities at the time of this morning's crime, so as to eliminate suspicion of committing crimes one by one.

The children of the He family have been separated. Only the youngest son He Yu and Cui Donghui live with their parents in the old house of Xiguan Embroidery Workshop. Originally, the Interpol was worried that it would take a lot of time to gather family members who lived in several districts, but when they went to the old house, there was an unexpected surprise: the disappearance of He Qichuang's child was one of the He family members. In the huge incident, the head of the old Mr. He Jiyuan suffered from hypertension and was bedridden. The younger generations came to visit. Not only the sons and daughter-in-laws from all the rooms except the mother Song Donghui came, but also the daughters who had already married. Back to her natal home. In this way, the Interpol held such a symposium in the large living room of the He family.

Zhu Bochun presided over the meeting, and Sun Wusheng and Mai were responsible for the recording. From the eldest couple to the youngest, he explained in detail the activities from last night to five o'clock in the morning. Everyone made a statement one by one, but the criminal police did not find anyone who had time to commit the crime. Finally, Mr. He Jiyuan also explained the activities of their couple.They were all at home last night and a servant at home testified. The entire forum took two hours and failed to find any clues. The three detectives were naturally disappointed and their expressions inevitably depressed. When Zhu Bochun announced the end of the meeting, he even sighed slightly. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that He Xianzhu, the youngest daughter of the He family, who was sitting opposite, gave him a quick wink when she got up and left the seat, and suddenly he felt an excitement: Does she have something else to say?

Sure enough, He Xianzhu deliberately stayed at the end and left. When passing by Zhu Bochun, he quickly stuffed a small ball of paper into his hand. Zhu Bochun flashed to no one to open it, and a line was written on the paper: "I will go to the Yuexiu branch to see you". Interpol was overjoyed, leaving Mai to talk with He Jiyuan and his wife to learn more about the background. Zhu and Sun immediately set off to return to the sub-bureau. When they arrived, He Xianzhu was already waiting in the reception room of the sub-bureau.

He Xianzhu is the youngest child of the He family, 27 years old, and works as an accountant in a factory. She provided the criminal police with a situation: Last night, it was the turn of the second sister-in-law Ma Yaqin and the third sister-in-law Zhao Minwen to accompany the mother in the hospital. According to the hospital's regulations, each mother can only stay with one nursing staff at night. At nine o'clock in the evening, the two sisters-in-law and He Yu left the hospital and returned to the hotel where they were staying. He Tan originally wanted to go home, but because he was too late to chat with his two sister-in-laws, he opened a new room and stayed in another room. The situation He Xianzhu wants to reflect has nothing to do with He Yu, but with Zhao Minwen, the third sister-in-law.

Zhao Minwen and Ma Yaqin shared the same room, but Ma Yaqin discovered the situation. She quietly told He Xianzhu, who rushed back to her home to visit her parents in the afternoon, last night—to be precise this morning, she woke up because of the quilt slipping onto the floor. When she turned on the light to pick up the quilt, she found the bed opposite Zhao Minwen. It is empty. Ma Yaqin looked at his watch subconsciously, and it was 3:42. The bed is empty, which means that Zhao Minwen is not in the room, but this does not mean that she has gone to the case-related activities. Is it possible that she went to the bathroom? He Xianzhu heard that at the time. But Ma Yaqin said that her sleepiness is not very good. Finding that Zhao Minwen was not in the room, it was a small abnormality to her subconsciously, so she couldn't sleep well. Because she was not at ease, when Zhao Minwen returned to the room later, she heard a faint sound of opening the door. A few minutes after Zhao Minwen came back, He Tan called from the hospital to tell them that the baby was missing. He Yu discovered that the time of his son's disappearance has been locked.It was about 4:50 in the morning. From 3:42 to 4:50! What did Zhao Minwen do during this time?

The situation reflected by He Xianzhu immediately made the detectives excited. After sending He Xianzhu away, Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng discussed briefly and decided to go to the hotel to investigate immediately.

The hotel where the couple stayed is a private industry, named "Cheng Ying Hotel", a two-story building with about 30 rooms. Private hotels are in awe of the police, just as restaurant owners fear food hygiene and epidemic prevention personnel. The boss Chen of "Chengying Hotel" can imagine the attitude of Zhu Zuochun and Sun Wusheng. It is tea, cigarettes, and fruit. The criminal police refused all of them, saying that you only need to cooperate with our investigation, and everything else. unnecessary. Second, the content of the investigation by the criminal police was to check the room where He Jiahua was staying last night, and the other was to ask the waiter. Boss Chen said that it is convenient to see the room, and I will lead you there right away. As for talking to the waiter, it will take a while, because the waiter had a night shift last night and is off today. I have to send someone to call her from home.

The room where Ma Yaqin and Zhao Minwen live is on the second floor, just turn right from the stairs. There are two toilets on both sides of the corridor, the one on the right is the women's toilet, and the one on the left is the men's toilet. There are only five rooms from the room where Ma and Zhao stayed to the women's toilet. The distance of more than ten meters does not need to take that long. Zhao Minwen's absence in the room this morning obviously has nothing to do with going to the toilet. So, where did she go? out? So I asked Boss Chen whether the hotel door was locked at night. Boss Chen replied that it was locked from 11 o'clock to 5 o'clock in the morning. Passengers must ask the night attendant to open the door. Xiao Li, the waiter on duty last night, hadn't come over yet, so I had to wait for a while.

While the detective was waiting for Xiao Li, Zhao Minwen actually came to the hotel. It turned out that although the baby was missing, the mother was still living in the hospital, so the shift duty system arranged by the He family continued to be implemented. It was supposed to be changed tonight, but the fifth sister-in-law's maiden who should be on duty tonight cannot be cloned in an emergency, so she discussed with Zhao Minwen and asked her to work hard. Therefore, before going to the hospital, Zhao Minwen came to the hotel to get the women's clothes to be washed.

Since Interpol Xunsi met, he happened to contact her face to face to see how she reacted. I don’t want Zhao Minwen to hear the detective ask her if she left the room last night. Her face suddenly changed color and she was speechless...


3. The baby was sent back

Sun Wusheng and Zhu Bochun saw it,There seems to be a play in Xun Si, so she continues to ask, what did you leave the room for?

Zhao Minwen settled down and said hesitantly that he went to the toilet. When I first said this, Xiao Li, the waiter on duty last night, was picked up by Boss Chen from home with a bicycle. So, the detective put Zhao Minwen aside first, and went to the boss's accountant to talk to Xiao Li. There is only one sentence that needs Xiao Li's answer: "Did someone ask you to open the door to let him leave the shop last night?"

Xiao Li nodded and said yes.

Interpol was overjoyed: "Who is it? When?"

The content of Xiao Li's second answer, Interpol was not happy, because she was talking about the taboo, and the time was less than five o'clock in the morning. I didn’t see the specific time. Anyway, not long after the gentleman went there, she called and asked her to inform the female guest in the first room on the second floor, "The child is lost, come here." Then, the female guest So he hurried out.

In this way, the next question is to understand Xiao Li: Is the door locked? Where is the key? How many access channels are there in your hostel? Where were you on duty last night? Did you take a nap?

Xiao Li is a slow man. Facing the criminal police's inquiries, he smiled, spoke slowly, and answered calmly. She said that the hostel is just a door, which is the door facing the stairs when you entered just now. Entering the door through the aisle and facing to the left is the studio where the waiter is staying. The door must be locked last night. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mr. He who lost the child. He decided not to go back last night and asked me to open a room for him. I went through the formalities for him and picked up the key board. When I went to open the door for him, he said, "I locked the door by the way. It's so late and no one will come." As for naps on duty, there are some. The boss has stipulated that not only can the night shift take a nap, but also lie down to rest. Therefore, there is a bed in our room.

Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng listened, but there was no smile on their faces. Listening to Xiao Li's love wishes, it seems to be out of play, then, what happened to Zhao Minwen? While thinking about this, Xiao Li suddenly raised his two willow eyebrows slightly and closed his eyes slightly, seemingly thoughtful. Sun Wusheng's heart moved: Did she think of something? So he immediately asked: "So did you hear anything when you took a nap last night?"

Xiao Li said: "I remember,When I lay down to rest last night, I seemed to hear very light footsteps in the corridor. However, I am not quite sure..."

The detective listened, and the fire of hope rekindled in his heart, and he asked Xiao Li heuristically. However, after asking several questions, Xiao Li shook his head and denied it. At this moment, Sun Wusheng suddenly flashed a thought in his mind, saying: "Last night-I mean after the evening-are there any other passengers who came to check in besides Mr. He Yuhe? What about the rest?

Xiao Li said: "There is a traveler, a gentleman in his thirties. Let me get the registration book.

The registration showed that at 7:50 last night, a man named Xu Yongjing came to check in. Xu showed a work permit from the Guangzhou Long-distance Bus Station. He was an engineer and the reason for staying in the shop was "business." Question: "This person is originally from Guangzhou. What kind of business do you have to come to the hotel?

Xiao Li said: "I don't have to ask about this. He went through the registration procedures with his work permit and letter of introduction, and I didn't care about it at the time. Now that you say this, I think there is something wrong-he came to the store with his hands empty, unlike on a business trip:"

Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng became suspicious: Could this engineer Xu and Zhao Minwen Collusion to make this case? At this time, Wheat came from Hezhai after finishing the business. Zhu Bochun told him about the situation and asked him to go to the long-distance bus station immediately to investigate the matter of Xu Yongjing staying in the shop. If there is any difference, , Xu can be summoned to be investigated. At the hotel, to prevent Zhao Minwen from communicating with Xu Yongjing, she is not allowed to leave for the time being. The two detectives were chatting with her to spend time waiting for the results of Mai’s investigation.

After a while, Mai called from the coach station and said that after verification, the letter of introduction Xu had registered for the accommodation last night was a blank piece deliberately left by him during a business trip not long ago. The word "business" was purely fictional. Xu met in person, and Xu admitted that he stayed at "Chengying Hotel" last night for a tryst with Zhao Minwen-the two were middle school classmates, first love lovers, and had been hooked up for several years. As for the baby's theft, Xu said that he didn't know about it. I just heard from Mai Mai. Mai is planning to bring Xu with him for further investigation.

In this way, the second detective has a clear idea, and when he talks with Zhao Minwen, he directly named Xu Yongjing's name.Zhao Minwen's psychological quality seems to be okay, saying that I have never heard of this person surnamed Xu. But it didn’t work anymore. She heard that Xu had told the police the truth and that she was on the way there, so she couldn’t support it anymore. She had to admit her adultery relationship with Xu, but insisted that she had nothing to do with the baby theft case. .

After a while, Mai brought Xu Yongjing, Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng talked to them directly, and Xu said the situation is no different from what Mai said before. In this way, the situation became clear: Zhao Minwen had previously notified Xu that she would spend the night at the hotel, and asked Xu to have a tryst; Xu checked into the hotel before 8 o'clock that night. At 2 o'clock this morning, when Zhao Minwen saw Ma Yaqin was already asleep, she quietly got up and went to Ban Xu's room to have a tryst, and did not return to her room until more than four o'clock.

The criminal police analyzed the situation confessed by Zhao and Xu, and inspected the entrance and exit passages of the hotel on the spot. Finally, the possibility of someone slipping out of the hotel last night was ruled out, and the possibility that Zhao Minwen and Xu Yongjing were involved in the case was also ruled out.

That night, Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng. The three of Maimai studied the case at the Shuqianlu police station and believed that from the daytime investigation, the guy who started the crime was not a member of the He family. Therefore, it can be determined that the perpetrator has a relatively thorough understanding of the topography of the scene, the hospital's duty rules, access channels, etc., otherwise, let alone sneak into the hospital at night to commit the crime, it is the daytime that allows him to come in grandiosely and accurately. I am afraid it would be difficult to take He Qichuang away. So, how did he understand the above-mentioned situations? It may come directly to the hospital to spy, or it may be indirectly reported by someone familiar with the above situation. This is the basic condition for the perpetrator to commit the crime smoothly. Interpol believes that the next investigation should be carried out around the generating factors of this basic condition.

Therefore, the three criminal policemen formulated an investigation plan: First, the hospital doctors, nurses, door guards, handymen and other staff were interrogated, and the interrogated persons were asked to recall their encounters since the mother Cui Donghui was admitted to the hospital on March 28. The situation of suspicious strangers in this hospital; if this investigation fails to obtain clues, the investigation can be extended to all hospitalized women, their family members and employed nursing workers. The second is to focus on the detailed inquiry of all the members of the He family who passed through Xinyue Hospital after Cui Donghui gave birth, as well as the nanny, nurses and others. Interpol believes that the information obtained by the perpetrator must come from the above two aspects.As long as you carefully investigate and analyze carefully, I believe you can obtain valuable clues.

After the three people agreed, Zhu Bochun called the leader of the criminal team of the Yuexiu branch to report on the day's work. The leaders affirmed their views and said that starting from tomorrow, you will start investigating. If you have any difficulties, you can raise them and try to solve them for you. Just when the call was about to end, the leader suddenly remembered, saying that one of the three of you should be in charge of the investigation work, and Xiao Zhu will let you take the lead.

The next morning, the criminal police went to the hospital and started separate investigations, and encountered an abnormal situation at the beginning. Sun Wusheng is responsible for investigating the parturient Cui Donghui, the nanny, and the caregiver, and plans to gather them for a meeting in the same way as yesterday. Unexpectedly, when he summoned these objects, he found that the nurse Aunt Liu had disappeared!

In the early morning of the first day, after investigating the scene, the Interpol clearly announced to Aunt Liu and others that they were asked not to leave the hospital, and they all agreed well. Why is this Aunt Liu missing? And Aunt Liu was precisely the main character who was present when the baby was stolen yesterday. So Sun Wusheng asked several other nanny and carers. They said that Aunt Liu didn't show up last night, and she saw it yesterday afternoon, but no one noticed afterwards. Sun Wusheng immediately reported the situation to Zhu Bochun, who was already in charge. The two negotiated and decided that Sun Wusheng would temporarily stop his investigation on this route, and find Aunt Liu before talking.

Sun Wusheng understood and learned that Aunt Liu was introduced by Old Zhong, the chef of Xinyue Hospital (that is, the person in charge of the room) to He Yu and his wife, so he went to Lao Zhong and asked that Aunt Liu’s name was Liu Caiping. His natal family is in the same village as Lao Zhong, and the specific address is Zhangjiawan in the western suburbs of Guangzhou. As for Liu Caiping's residence in the city, Lao Zhong doesn't even know whether he has it or not, because people like her often eat and live in the owner's house, and will not pay for another rent. So Sun Wusheng rode a bicycle to Zhangjiawan.

Zhangjiawan is Liu Caiping’s natal family. Sun Wusheng inquired and learned that his married husband’s family was in Xiaoshanjiao Village three miles away. Sun Wusheng didn't dare to expect to find her in Xiaoshanjiao Village. It was a good idea to find out the address where she might settle down. I didn't know that Liu Caiping was doing housework at the first sight. When she saw Sun Wusheng, her eyes showed panic. Sun Wu said kindly that you went home without saying any greetings. He looked for you to investigate and didn't see anyone.At this time, Liu's husband came out and learned that it was a criminal police officer. He said that Caiping was an honest person and had nothing to do with the loss of the child. Sun Wusheng said it didn’t matter if we didn’t investigate properly, why were we panicking? Let's go back to the city. Aren't you still working? Why do you come back? It's not a busy season for farming. After talking for a while, Liu Caiping agreed to go back to the city with Sun Wusheng. Her husband seemed to be worried and proposed to go together. Sun Wusheng agreed.

On the way, Sun Wusheng tried to communicate with Liu Caiping to understand the reason for his departure, but no matter what he said, the other party would not say anything, and his husband would not speak up. Sun Wusheng pushed his bicycle and walked with his head buried in his head. A thought came out of his mind: It was the old Zhong, the chef of Xinyue Hospital who introduced Liu Caiping to He Yu and Cui Donghui. Doesn't the chef hold the key to the back door of the hospital?

The more Sun Wusheng thinks about it, the more he feels that the connection between Zhong and Liu seems to be related to the case. Looking at Liu Caiping's downcast look, the more he feels that his suspicions are justified. It wasn't until after arriving at the hospital that the oncoming wheat told him-a news that made him shake his thoughts.

The news is-the stolen baby was sent back!

Xinyue Hospital follows the old system of the William Maternity Hospital. It has a set of strict rules for visiting relatives and friends. It is the time for mothers to rest every afternoon, so visits are not allowed. In this way, the doorman is more leisurely in the afternoon. It is all right to read the newspaper and take a nap with your eyes closed. This afternoon, two guards were like this, one was reading the newspaper, and one was taking a nap in the corner of the guard's room. Suddenly, there was a baby crying outside the window, and the crying became louder and louder. The one reading the newspaper was startled first, and wondered where the baby was crying when it was not the time to go through the discharge formalities? The other guard woke up, rubbing his eyes and said that the sound seemed to be coming from outside. The doorman reading the newspaper opened the window and leaned forward. He couldn't help but feel aroused: under the doorman room window, there was a rattan box, and the baby's cry came from this box!

If in normal times, the guard would go out and open the cane box to see what happened, but just now there was a newborn baby theft. Everyone was a little vigilant. The two guards did not dare to move the cane after discussing it. Box, but directly called the department to report the situation. At this time, criminal police Zhu Bochun and Mai Mai were talking with the two deans in the department office.Hearing that there was such a thing, immediately came to the gate with the dean. After opening the cane box, there was a baby lying in it. Both deans are specialists in obstetrics, and they can tell at a glance that the baby was only three or four days old, so don't you say it's the stolen child?

At the moment, he immediately carried the cane box with the baby inside, summoned the puerpera Cui Donghui, and as soon as he recognized it, he immediately concluded that it was the stolen son He Qichuang! The detective was still worried, and called the maids and nurses who came to accompany them to identify them. At this time, He Hao also came to the hospital to visit his wife. Not only did he recognize that he was his son at a glance, but he also asked the nurse to fetch the baby's small clothes, which were of the same fabric, color and pattern as the baby's body.

He Yu and Cui Donghui were overjoyed, and they called home to report. Old Mr. He Jiyuan cried with joy on the phone and immediately made a decision: No matter what the attitude of the hospital, adults and children should be discharged and go home first!

The hospital checked the baby, confirmed that there was no health problem, and agreed to be discharged. He Yu said that the puerpera's health is still very weak and the nursing workload is heavy, so he wanted to ask three temporary nurses to follow them home. At this moment, two of the three nurses were left. They said that Aunt Liu did not know where they were going. Would you like to tell the hospital and let her go directly to where she came when she came back. At this moment, Sun Wusheng brought Liu Caiping back.

Sun Wusheng heard that the stolen baby was sent back intact, which was quite unexpected. When she was stunned, Liu Caiping, who was informed of the news, suddenly changed her attitude and took the initiative to explain why she left without saying goodbye: It turned out that she thought that the baby was stolen while she was on duty, and she was indeed dozing off. That was what made the husband of the mother-in-law see clearly that she couldn't deny it. She was very worried that her husband would make trouble for her. She couldn't bear the consequences, and she could only get away with it after thinking about it.

For Zhu Bochun and the other three criminal policemen, the kid He Qichuang came back without incident. Even if this case is mostly resolved. Of course, the situation still needs to be investigated clearly, so I went to the guard to find out, but the two couldn't say anything. The detective took the cane box used to hold the baby and sent it to the bureau to extract the fingerprints on the loops. After finishing these tasks, the leaders of the criminal squad informed them that due to the shortage of manpower, since the stolen child had returned, the case should be put on hold. Comrades Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng immediately participated in the investigation of another criminal case that just happened that afternoon. Work,Comrade Mai Mai from the police station is responsible for the report of the baby case's conclusion. Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng wanted to continue investigating the baby theft case and get a clear picture, but the leaders had to listen. They didn't expect that the case was endless, and they were destined to have to start the investigation again. Because the next day, a baby theft happened again in Xinyue Hospital!


4. Another baby was stolen during the day

On the morning of April 2, the Municipal Health Bureau conducted a routine sanitation inspection of Xinyue Hospital and expressed satisfaction with the sanitation work of the hospital. The hospital department announced the news in the notice board next to the aisle inside the gate, requesting all departments to continue to maintain the hospital's fine traditions and insist on doing a good job in cleaning and sanitation.

At nine o'clock in the morning the next morning, after the ward was inspected, Yuan Zheng, a cleaner in the area B, squatted at the door of the area to clean the trash can. Unknowingly, two men stood in front of him, wearing navy blue. Khaki tunic, wearing a hat of the same color and texture, and one of them was carrying a black leather briefcase. It was a cadre from above. Sure enough, Old Yuan just stood up, and the person carrying the briefcase spoke with a very kind tone: "Master, are you a cleaner here? What is your surname?" Old Yuan nodded and said yes, and replied with his surname. The other introduced himself and said that they belonged to the Municipal Health Bureau. Yesterday the bureau conducted an inspection of your hospital and wanted to give you a higher ranking. However, according to the regulations, there was something missing from the inspection yesterday. , So the bureau sent us to run again today.

Old Yuan Yi sounded happy. The cleaning and sanitation is good. It is because of the achievements of the cleaning workers. So he nodded and thanked him again and again, saying that I will take the two comrades to the dean's room and let the dean accompany you to check. . The other party laughed and said that the bureau specially took care of the inspection without the presence of the hospital leader, but it was the first time that we came to your hospital. We were not familiar with the situation and happened to meet Master Yuan, so please get us one. Way, okay?

Lao Yuan naturally said yes, and asked where do you want to check? The other party said let's go to the ward, and we need to check the air quality. Lao Yuan did not suspect that he was there, so he led the way and led the two into the corridor of the production area. I met a female doctor head-on, who was going to answer the phone, so she just glanced at the two and hurriedly passed by. The two were walking in the aisles between the doctor’s room and the nurse’s room. One of them took out a rectangular instrument from his briefcase (it was actually a multimeter afterwards).Pretending to be debugging. The other took out the pen and work manual from his pocket and recorded the data reported by his companion. Then, the one on the record said: "Master Yuan, you take us to the ward to have a look. According to the request of the superior, we will also conduct sampling tests on the ward." When the two seemingly strolled to the door of Ward No. 5, they suddenly stopped. One of them said, "Just this ward."

The other nodded, "Okay. Master Yuan, please go inside and tell the parturient woman." I asked them to cooperate and leave the ward—including the accompanying family members and caregivers. Because if there are people, it will affect the air quality."

Old Yuan asked: "So, what about the children?"

"Baby Are you all sleeping? Then stay inside. The newborn baby's breathing volume is very small, which has no effect on the test."

The two said, taking out the masks from the briefcases and putting them on separately. The tunic suit, cap and big mask are a little weird. Therefore, every parturient, family member, and nurse who came out of this ward couldn't help but stare at them. As for them, they smiled and nodded at the people, saying "thank you" and "sorry" in their mouths. When the last adult in the ward withdrew, the two nodded to Old Yuan: "Master Yuan, please watch for us at the door. Don't let people enter, so as not to affect the quality of testing." After that, they entered the ward. Lao Yuan was very proud of being entrusted by this, and took the initiative to help them close the door of the ward, and then stood at the door and looked at the group of women in front of him who would not normally look at him.

At this moment, there is silence in the ward, and the newborn babies are lying soundly asleep in the crib. The test inside took only five or six minutes. The door to the ward opened quickly. The two came out, and the one who led the head grinned and said, “The air quality in your ward is a bit problematic. It is influential. This problem needs to be resolved immediately. You should write a report of the situation, and we will sign it and give it to the hospital to ask them to take measures. Do you have paper and pen? No? Use ours." , He took out a notebook from his briefcase, tore off two pages of paper together with a pen, and handed it to Old Yuan, "Master Yuan, you can tell Zhang Luo about this. After you finish writing, let each parturient sign your name, and then give it away. Go to the doctor's room, we are there."

The thoughts of the mothers were all attracted by these words.Lao Yuan was even more proud. He took the pen and paper and walked into the ward. He said as he walked, "Which one of you is good at writing, write immediately. After you finish writing, everyone sign their names, and I will give them to the comrades above. "The mother and others followed him to the ward.

In just two minutes, the ward suddenly became noisy as if seeing a ghost. The adults screamed, the babies cried, and the old Yuan took the lead. Several women screamed and rushed out and went straight to the doctor. room. Two doctors who heard something wrong outside got up and came out to check what was happening, and collided with Lao Yuan and others. The doctor has not yet asked what happened to Lao Yuan. Lao Yuan and others have already yelled "Something went wrong" and "It's not good"-things were really bad, and they were caught by the two "City Health Bureau cadres." One of the babies in the ward I visited was gone!

Old Yuan Yigan saw that the two were not in the doctor's room, so he ran to the gate of the hospital without saying a word. However, there was no shadow of those two guys outside the door. So, did the two of them take the baby out of the house? The guard said no, and both were empty-handed.

At this time, the doctors and nurses also chased them out. Hearing that the two did not bring the baby, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When they were about to ask Lao Yuan and the others to go to the back door to check, the other one was a doorman. A word made them gasp. The guard said that before the two went out, a woman in her early twenties pushed a baby stroller out of the house and called a "tricycle" to the outside before she reached the gate. There was indeed a tricycle parked outside. Hearing the greeting, she stepped on the flowerbed outside the gate. The woman took the baby out of the stroller and got into the car. The driver folded the stroller and placed it on the pedal in front of the seat. The car leaves.

When several doctors and nurses heard this, their eyes stared: "You saw someone taking a baby out, didn't you ask what happened?"

The two guards were a little guilty, but still not without Aggrievedly explained: Before, they saw the woman pushing the stroller through the guard room to enter, this time is the hospital's designated visit time, in their opinion, it is normal for them to bring their baby to the hospital to visit the lying-in woman. , Not to mention that every day, there will always be one or two times a week, so I won’t come out to check it out. As for not checking or questioning when going out, it is even more normal-even in the old William's time, the hospital did not have this system.

It is conceivable to what extent the leaders of the Criminal Squad of Yuexiu Branch will be astonished when they receive a call from Xinyue Hospital. In just a few minutes, criminal police Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng, who were participating in a homicide case analysis meeting, received an urgent notice: to withdraw from the investigation of the homicide case team and accept a new investigative mission.

This time, the branch leader was annoyed. The baby was stolen and sent back, and then another baby was stolen. This case deserves the police's attention! So it became true and formed a special case team to conduct special investigations on the infant theft. In addition to the two detectives who originally investigated the theft of He Qichuang's children, the task team also added another young detective Le Jixin from the sub-bureau's criminal police team. Xiangqianlu police station policeman Mai is also a member of the task force, and the team leader is Zhu Bochun.

Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng were also very annoyed. They felt that this was a challenge to the criminal police. Mai also thinks this way. In addition, Mai also has another wish: He is a police officer in Xinyue Hospital. If the case is solved, he can do better work in the future. When you go out, you don’t have to make a public statement. Someone will point your back: Don’t look at this young man, he solved the case at William Hospital. This guy is fine! I believe that some masters who want to start with his Maimou will hesitate to commit crimes here after hearing about it. This reduces the crime rate! Therefore, when Wheat received the notice from the director that the branch had let him join the task force, he almost jumped up. The director said, this case seems to be a toss about for a while, you can hand over the work at hand, or concentrate on studying with the criminal police of the other branch.

As soon as Mai Mai handed over the work, Zhu Bochun and the three arrived. They had already surveyed the scene at the hospital and called Mai Mai and began to analyze the case in an empty room of the police station.

After Zhu Bochun arrived at Xinyue Hospital from the branch, they did the following work:

First, they asked Lao Yuan, the cleaner, the pregnant woman in area B, family members, nurses, door guards, and others about the incident.

Second, seal up the pen and paper left by the perpetrator and prepare to send it to the city bureau for trace identification.

Third, I checked the delivery room No. 5 where the incident occurred. It was found that the bed of the stolen baby was the same as the bed of the kid He Qichuang before. It was also against the window, and a fresh adult male fingerprint was extracted on the window frame. .Since there was no adult male in the delivery room that day, it can be assumed that it was left by the two guys posing as officials of the Health Bureau. The window of the delivery room was the same as the situation in the ward where the baby burglary occurred in birthing area A. It was also an open space paved with gravel and rubble, and it was impossible to determine whether there were footprints of the woman. From this, the trajectory of the perpetrator can be preliminarily inferred: the two guys took the maternity, family members, nurses, etc. of the delivery room out of the room in the name of testing the air quality, then closed the door and carried the sleeping baby out of the crib. Get up and pass it through the window to the accomplice who has been waiting outside the delivery room window-it should be the young woman who pushed the stroller to the gate and called the tricycle.

Fourth, I made a phone call to the Yuexiu District Government Health Department and the Guangzhou Health Bureau to make an investigation and confirmed that no one had been sent out to conduct any inspections or other tasks on the same day.

Fifth, I learned about the family background of the stolen baby: The mother named Song Zhiyan, lives in Guanlan Street, Yuexiu District, is 20 years old this year and is unemployed. Song Zhiyan is a 1948 graduate of Guangzhou Junior Teachers College. After graduation, due to the turmoil of the current situation, Song Zhiyan stayed at home temporarily. At that time, she was in love with the son of a wealthy overseas Chinese businessman named Nan Yongchang, who was said to be a broker of western medicine. Song Zhiyan's parents are also in business, and her family background is decent. She is the only daughter, and her husband, Nan Yongchang, is a child of a wealthy family. Therefore, the economic basis for this pair of young men and women to fall in love is quite good. The two are unemployed, the other works flexibly, and some have free time; they are economically rich and can play whatever they want. The result of this tossing down is: in July last year, Song Zhiyan found out that she was pregnant!

In that era, people were quite criticized about the phenomenon of unmarried first pregnancy. You can imagine Song Zhiyan, who was nineteen years old, in fear at the time, and she proposed to kill the fetus immediately. The man didn’t care. After Young Master Nan telegraphed the news to his overseas parents, their family was very calm, and the parents agreed. If there is, let’s give birth. After the woman’s parents found out, although they were upset but helpless, they said that they should get married as soon as possible. Getting married and having children will not make it too embarrassing. The man agreed to get married, but said that he had to obtain parental consent. However, there are unforeseen circumstances, just a few days after I said this, suddenly came the news: Nan Yongchang was in a car accident unfortunately,-fate!

In this way, if the marriage cannot be completed, let's abort the baby, but Song Zhiyan refused.As a result, the parents mobilized all relatives and reliable friends and even the daughter’s primary school head teacher, staring at work and fighting fatigue every day. By the end of September, seeing her daughter still refused to nod, she simply forcibly sent her to this hospital, which was also known as the "William Obstetrics Hospital" at the time, for abortion. However, after a checkup, the doctor said that the pregnancy has been four months, and if the fetus is to be removed, it is not an abortion, but an induction of labor. The toss of induction of labor would be great. According to Song Zhiyan's physical condition, she could not support it in all likelihood, and it would be hard to say that an adult and a fetus would go together! Song Zhiyan's parents did not dare to make any trouble, and after repeated discussions with relatives and friends, they decided to keep the baby. In any case, this is my own flesh and blood, and it doesn't matter whether I was born out of wedlock or married. As for Song Zhiyan's future marriage issues, let's not think about it now, let's talk about it in the future. In this way, Song Zhiyan gave birth smoothly after full term and gave birth to a son who was five kilograms and seven liang. Since he had not yet named his name, the hospital record had written a temporary name in accordance with the rules at the time, Day: Brother Song. (The rule at the time was that all boys were temporarily named "brother" and girls were temporarily named "sister", and they would be changed when the newborn was registered.)

Now, this kid named Brother Song has been stolen. After leaving, a big question mark was left to the four detectives who solved the case. At the case analysis meeting, the criminal police compared the situation of the case with the previous case of theft of children by He Qichuang, and found that the two infant theft cases have two things in common: one is that the stolen are all male babies; the other is that the stolen babies are stolen. The delivery area is different, but the delivery room and bed number are the same. As a result, the criminal police can not help but have an association: these two common points plus He Qichuang's loss and regained it, can it be considered that the perpetrator originally intended to steal Brother Song, but for some reason, he went to the wrong producing area when he started. , And he mistakenly stole He Qichuang?

The four criminal policemen repeatedly deliberated and thought this possibility was extremely high. Therefore, it can be determined that the two cases were committed by the same group. Then, why did the perpetrator attack the posthumous brother Song? This, currently the task force cannot understand. After analyzing the whole process of the case, the criminal police focused their attention on the young woman pushing the stroller in and out of Xinyue Hospital. Based on previous judgments, it can be determined that the woman was connecting the two guys posing as cadres of the Health Bureau through the window of the delivery room. The criminal police remembered that when they visited the two guards of the hospital, they once said that the woman had already yelled "tricycle" outside the door before she reached the gate.The tricycle followed, and took her away with the stroller. Then, if you find this tricycle, you can know where the woman went with the baby. This is the clue!

The detective then went to the guard again to learn more about the tricycle. In terms of visiting such objects, Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng, both of whom were engaged in intelligence work, were considered masters. They let Mai and Le Jixin perform their duties in place of the guard, and called the guard to a pavilion in the corner of the courtyard to have a conversation. After some patient inspiration, the two guards actually recalled two details about the tricycle: one was that the movable tarpaulin tent of the carriage was pulled up before the woman called the car, so when the tricycle turned at the gate The guard saw a few pieces of red tape on the back of the awning; the second was one of them—a guard remembered that he accidentally glanced at the license plate on the back of the car, as if the two digits at the end were "21".

Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng secretly thought that this might be the clue. The so-called red tape refers to the insulating tape used by electricians at that time. This kind of tape usually comes in two colors, red and black, to distinguish between the live wire and the ground wire. However, in actual operation, people generally use black insulating tape. There are no wires on the tricycle, why use red tape? This is about the customs of Guangzhou people when they got married. In the old days, horse-drawn carriages, sedan chairs, or small boats were used for marriage. Later, cars and motorboats were introduced, so the man who had the conditions replaced carriages and sedan chairs with cars or motorboats, but only a few had these conditions. Gradually, the sedan was eliminated and replaced by tricycles and rickshaws, which had the advantages of low cost, ventilation and convenience. When tricycles and rickshaws are used as wedding cars, of course they need to be arranged. Usually, red paper flowers are hung in front of the canopy, the top and sides are decorated with ribbons, and a red happy character is pasted on the back. This happy character is made of electrician's red tape. The guard saw the residual red tape behind the canopy of the tricycle that carried the stolen baby girl, which means that the car had been used as a wedding car before. And the last two digits of the license plate are "21", so there is the scope of investigation. The task force decided to investigate the tricycle immediately.


V. Dunlop Women's Cars

At that time, Guangzhou was liberated less than half a year ago, and the tricycles and rickshaws were all privately owned. The tricycle industry has not yet formed an industry union, only the industry associations that have been reorganized before.Its function is equivalent to today's industry association processing committee. With the assistance of the industry association, the criminal police checked for three days and found such a tricycle that met the search criteria on the afternoon of April 6.

This tricycle belongs to the "Shunxin Motors" in Yonghan District. It is a small private company with more than a dozen tricycles and rickshaws. The owner is named Xia and is a member of the "Yiguandao". The people's government arrested the law. At that time, Boss Xia had a foreboding that the situation was not good, so he was very polite to the detectives Sun Wusheng and Mai Mai. Before, he had received a notice from the trade association, knowing that the criminal police were going to the door, and knew that he was investigating the tricycle with the license plate number 11021 in his dealership, so he not only waited at the dealership, but also ordered the driver of the car. Jin also waited with the car and was not allowed to leave. As for the loss, the car dealer subsidized him.

The detective wanted to contact Lao Jin the coachman, so Boss Xia stayed aside. When Lao Jin heard about the criminal police's intention, he blurted out: "Oh! I remember, that young lady was very generous!" He tripled his usual fare bill. This kind of passenger, Lao Jin never meets one all year round, so remember it clearly.

Sun Wusheng asked Lao Jin: "So, where did the female passenger go after getting on the bus at the entrance of the obstetric hospital?",

Lao Jin said: "The place she went was not far from the hospital, but it was only a ten-minute drive away. ——Tongxin Alley."

Tongxin Alley is also in Yuexiu District. It is an alley where 70 or 80 households live. The detective knew that the alley was wide and there were passages at both ends, so the tricycle could enter and exit, so he asked: "Which number does she live in?"

"She got off at the alley at the end of Zengfu Road "

Lao Jin's answer made the detective quite disappointed. Because according to common sense, a passenger with a baby (and a stroller), if the destination of this trip is someone in the alley, why doesn't she ask the tricycle to step on the door and get off? Therefore, it is estimated that the destination of this woman's trip is not Tongxin Lane. The reason why she came to Tongxin Lane is entirely out of anti-investigation awareness. As a result, the Interpol did not ask any further questions, but understood another content: Did the female passenger actually carry a baby? Lao Jin answered in the affirmative.I even remember that the sleeping baby had a birthmark with a big fingernail on his right forehead. The detective confirmed that the baby was indeed the stolen brother Song. This was what she had repeatedly explained when investigating the mother Song Zhiyan on the day of the crime.

This concludes the investigation of Lao Jin. Then, Sun Wusheng and Mai Mai went to Tongxin Alley. Sure enough, with the assistance of the police from the police station, the residents of the alley were interviewed house by house, and it was confirmed that there was no such thing in the alley-a female householder, and there was no visitor who brought a newborn baby to take a rest or stay temporarily. When he visited the last one—the old man Qin who opened a cigarette and paper shop in the alley, he said that that day he saw a woman getting off at the alley in a tricycle. After getting off the car, the woman pushed the baby carriage into the alley. Went, the tricycle also left. However, after only two or three minutes, he saw the woman pushing the stroller out again. How did you leave after you came out? This, Old Man Qin couldn't say it, because at this time a customer came, and he had to do business. The task force used a tricycle to track down the line of the whereabouts of the stolen baby, and it was cut off.

When Sun Wusheng and Mai finished their investigation and returned to the Yuexiu branch of the task force, they learned of two new news: First, the city bureau called to inform that, after technical verification, it was confirmed that the rattan box carrying the first stolen baby was on the loop. A residual fingerprint is the same as the fingerprint of the perpetrator obtained at the scene of the second baby theft on April 3. It can be determined that the two cases were committed by the same partner. The second is the news from Xinyue Hospital that the mother Song Zhiyan was overwhelmed by the theft of her son, and she quietly entered the bathroom and committed suicide. Fortunately, she was found early and was rescued without risk of her life.

When Sun and Mai were reporting to Zhu Bochun about the investigation of the tricycle, the branch leader called and said that the news of maternal suicide in Xinyue Hospital had spread to the public, and the continuous theft of newborn babies in the hospital was also spread. There was an uproar, the city bureau just issued an instruction to ask the branch to investigate the case quickly and give the society an explanation. The leader asked Zhu Bochun: "I will give you a week to solve this case?" Zhu Bochun gritted his teeth: "Okay! Take this case in a week!"

Now, everyone in the task force felt the pressure on their shoulders. . It was already dinner time, and no one felt hungry. The food from the room was put aside, and everyone didn't even look at it. Zhu Bochun said: "I'm not hungry, so let's eat later. Let's have a meeting to study the next step.From now on, there is still a week to calculate the use every minute, and it is best not to use it biased.

The four criminal police officers sat down and discussed for more than three hours. They compiled all the materials of the two infant theft cases they had so far, and reassessed the measures that have been taken. Finally, they focused on one point: to obtain The clue seems to only restore the trajectory of the crime to find clues. Although the perpetrator has anti-investigation awareness, the preventive measures are not in place step by step. Therefore, as long as you work carefully and carefully, I believe you can find something.

here On the other hand, Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng, who were engaged in underground intelligence work, have some practical experience. They focused on one issue: the perpetrators must know the target situation in advance for the two cases. This kind of understanding can be done. It is to sneak into the hospital to step on, or it can be provided indirectly by the internal personnel of the hospital. From the situation of this case, it seems that the latter possibility can be ruled out, because if provided by the internal personnel of the hospital, the delivery area, delivery room, bed number, location, etc. Once the provision is in place, the perpetrator will not make the wrong object, and will start with He Qichuang’s child as Song’s brother; only when the perpetrator steps on the spot by himself, the stepped guy tells his accomplices what he has collected, and others sneak into the hospital at night to commit the crime.

If this is the case, then the task force can try to make a fuss at the stepping point before the first crime. The first time for the crime is on the early morning of April 1st. Between 12:00 and 5:00, the stolen baby Song brother and Cui Donghui’s son He Qichuang were born on the same day, more than an hour late, and the exact time of birth recorded on the medical card was 1:03 pm on March 29. This way. , The time for the perpetrator to step on should be before the end of the maternity hospital visit on the evening of March 31, when the crime was committed. Therefore, Zhu Bochun made a decision: Concentrate on the medical staff and handymen who worked at Xinyue Hospital during this period of time. , Escorts, and mothers, etc. investigate one by one!

In this way, from the morning of April 7th, the four criminal police of the task force will start this work. The original preparations may take two days, but luck seems to be good, until 6 o'clock in the evening. Xu, when the detective Le Jixin investigated Xiao Wang, the nurse who came to the night shift, Xiao Wang provided a situation: March 30 (it was exactly the day after the birth of the stolen baby He Qichuang and Song brother) at four o'clock in the afternoon. Around, when she was assigned by the director of the delivery area to go to the dean’s room to deliver a record of the mother’s delivery on the day of the delivery area and then returned to the delivery area,I encountered a woman in her 30s who was wearing a cheongsam and long wavy hair on the corridor in the courtyard, pushing a bicycle into it. Xiao Wang’s house is a car-different from the bicycle shops that specialize in renting out tricycles and rickshaws mentioned above, but a kind of bicycle store. He has been a fan of super bicycles since he was a child. Old China was backward and lacked the ability to produce bicycles. People riding all over the streets were foreign goods. Xiao Wang has a special skill. No matter where the bicycle is produced, even if it flashes in front of her eyes, as long as she sees it, she can accurately tell the origin and brand of the bicycle. At the moment, when she saw the women's bicycle in front of her, her eyes lit up: This is a Dunlop!

Dunlop is a world famous brand. The bike in front of Xiao Wang is an improved women's bike that Dunlop launched before World War II. Its function is between sports and daily travel. According to Xiao Wang's father, Wang Boss, a well-known bicycle seller in Guangzhou at the time, said that due to World War II, there were not many women's bikes of this brand produced, and the quantity sold to China was even more limited. Only in Shanghai. Yongan Company imported 120 vehicles. After the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, there are of course fewer left in China today.

Xiao Wang recognized the Dunlop car at a glance, and couldn't help being surprised when a car drove in from outside, and the woman pushed her bike to the side of the road. Right in front of Xiao Wang, she took the opportunity to look closely, and found that there were words written in red paint on the car light shell in front. Although it had been mottled and peeled off, it could still be vaguely distinguished as "B57".

Seeing that Xiao Wang was wearing a white nurse's uniform, the woman pushing the cart asked: "I want to find out-which ward a parturient is living in. I don't know who to ask?" Xiao Wang said you can go to the admissions registration office to check. The woman nodded, and before Xiao Wang asked her where the car came from, she flew into the car and drove away.

On that day, Xiao Wang went home and told his dad about the incident. My dad was actually interested and said that this kind of car is worth collecting. I'm afraid there is only one in Guangzhou. I don't know who owns it. You'd better find out. , If the other party is willing to cut love, I am willing to exchange it with a car of the latest style. The next day, Xiao Wang went to the information desk to inquire after work. As long as he knew which mother the woman was visiting, he could ask the contact information of the other person. However, the person at the information desk said that no such woman had come to inquire about the bed space of the mother yesterday afternoon.

The information provided by Xiao Wang made the Interpol very interested. Everyone agreed that the woman riding a Dunlop women's bike seemed suspicious, not because of suspicious riding behavior, but since she asked Xiao Wang about the way she learned about the bed. , But did not go to the information desk to ask, this is an abnormality!

Therefore, the task force decided to pursue the investigation. No one can track it down for a while, only staring at the Dunlop. The detective caught a detail in Xiao Wang's statement: the car's lamp housing was written with "C 57" in red paint.

Interpol thinks of the things they use in office, from writing desks, chairs, telephones, desk lamps to small staplers. All of them have marks similar to "C57". The larger ones are written with paint, and the smaller ones. For example, staplers, desk lamps, etc., are written on the label of the book with a pen and then glued. This was a form of property management of public units at that time. The logistics department of the unit was responsible for registering and numbering each office supplies, who used who signed it, and the responsibility of keeping it was placed on the individual. Every year, it must be checked one by one at the end of the year to prevent Take public things home for private use. Since the Dunlop that Xiao Wang saw had such a mark, it means that it should be a bus. Since it is a bus, the owner should be found.

As a result, the task force immediately proceeded to investigate. First, check with the tax bureau about the use of bicycles by government agencies in this city. The government agencies at that time were not the same as they are now. They were all streamlined to the minimum. A cadre had to do the work of several civil servants today, and there were fewer bicycles for office use. Not every department had it. And basically they are old and broken cars. Therefore, the number of public bicycles to be investigated by the criminal police is not enough to cause people to collapse, but everyone still thinks that their heads seem to be bigger.

Then the criminal police ran to the district public security sub-bureaus. At that time, the license was issued by the police. The Inland Revenue Department only collects license tax. Only the license file of the Public Security Bureau contains information on the brand, style and model of each bicycle. Zhu Bochun and the other four detectives each ran into a district, and it took a whole day to go round and round. There was no gain, and the people were so tired that they were staggering.

On April 9, Interpol Le Jixin went to the Henan branch. The police officer who was in charge of license plates was not there. He went to the hospital to see a doctor, so he had to wait. It was not until ten o'clock that I saw Lao Hou come back.Lao Hou is an old policeman who was kept for use. In the old regime police station, he was in charge of vehicles with license plates. It is said that he was very familiar with the conditions of various vehicles in the area of ​​the branch. It may also be the main reason why he stayed to serve the new regime. At the moment, Lao Hou apologized to Le Jixin, while washing the cup openly to give Le Jixin tea. Le Jixin said that the task he was facing was very tight, and he had wasted more than two hours in vain, and he couldn't afford to delay it anymore. Please help Comrade Lao Hou immediately!

Lao Hou smiled and greeted Le Jixin to drink tea, saying that this work is not difficult, and we can just have a chat while drinking tea. Excuse me, what kind of vehicles does Comrade Le need to know? When Le Jixin said, the other party laughed: "Dunlop women's car? Congratulations on the temple gate-it is in our district. This car is only one in Guangzhou, and it is an old car. Where is it? It's a district. It’s from the Youth League!”

Right now, Le Jixin rushed straight to the district government and found the Youth League Committee’s office and asked. They admitted that there was indeed a Dunlop women’s car. However, the car had been stolen for two months and the location was stolen. In the Changshou District, the case was immediately reported to the Changshou Branch, and the case has not been solved yet.

Le Jixin was stunned!


6. Women with long wavy hair

On the evening of April 8th, the task force that had nothing to do for two days met again to discuss the case.

This time, I focused on why the perpetrator set the target of the crime on Brother Song. Can it be considered from this point: What is so special about the newborn baby, Brother Song, that makes the perpetrators must target it?

Xinyue Hospital follows the operating traditions of William Hospital. Every baby will be photographed immediately after birth, and the mother’s fingerprints and the baby’s foot prints will be left in duplicate. Together with the birth documents issued by the hospital, they were given them to take home, and the other was kept by the hospital forever. When the task force reached this point, Zhu Bochun took out the above-mentioned files of the two babies He and Song borrowed from the hospital, and everyone circulated them. The more they looked at them, the more they wondered: First of all, they were all male babies. Obviously not for the reason of "preferring boys to girls"; secondly, if it is about health, the appraisal doctors are all "excellent"-the highest grade.There is no choice; looking at the appearance of the two babies, from the image in the photo, He Qichuang seems to be more pleasing to the eye than Brother Song. Interpol Le Jixin's father is a well-known professional photographer in Yangcheng, so he also knows a little bit of it. He said that from the perspective of Xiangshu, He has a better face than Song. In this way, Song brother's comprehensive score is obviously lower than He Qichuang. However, the perpetrator is only interested in this low-scoring baby. What secrets are hidden behind this?

The task force then reached a consensus: It seems that the only way to clarify this question is to investigate brother Song’s parents and family background. However, the time given by the leaders is less than five days. Such investigations must be time-consuming. What should we do? The task force leader Zhu Bochun said that at the moment there is no longer any time limit. Anyway, I do my best to solve the case when the time limit is reached. The big deal is that I will go to the branch leadership for a review.

In this way, starting from the next day, April 9th, the task force began investigating the family background of the stolen baby Brother Song's parents. The four criminal policemen are divided into two groups. Zhu Bochun and Mai Mai are responsible for investigating the female party Song Zhiyan, and Sun Wusheng and Le Jixin are responsible for investigating the male party Nan Yongchang.

Zhu Bochun and Mai Mai first went to Xinyue Hospital. Upon asking, the mother Song Zhiyan was discharged from the hospital half an hour ago. Song Zhiyan's discharge was initiated by the hospital. As mentioned earlier, she was heartbroken after her son was stolen and tried to commit suicide. Fortunately, she was found in time and was finally saved. As soon as this action occurred, the hospital’s fear was conceivable. Since the establishment of this hospital for more than forty years, it has admitted how many pregnant women have never committed suicide in the hospital; besides, the theft of Brother Song’s As far as the hospital is concerned, it is already a big rock pressed down in the air. This stone has not been removed yet, and another bigger stone is pressed down. How can the hospital's brains and brains bear it? So, the hospital asked Song Zhiyan’s father, the boss of Sanfumen leather shoe company Song, to do work, and mobilized his daughter to leave the hospital. Of course, the hospitalization fee was not charged. Part of the compensation for the theft and how to solve it later depends on whether the police can chase Brother Song back. Boss Song is said to be not a good guy. His violent personality is well-known in the industry. But after the liberation, the capitalists learned to behave with their tails under the new government. Besides, his daughter is definitely not as comfortable in the hospital as at home, and he has a lot of money. Incoming, I nodded thinking about it.In this way, Boss Song and his wife were discharged from the hospital before the criminal police arrived at the hospital.

Zhu Bochun and Mai Mai diverted to Song's house. That's fine, the Song family includes several major relatives, and they are all there because Song Zhiyan was discharged from the hospital that day. After listening to the criminal police's explanation, Boss Song repeatedly said thank you very much. I still ask the policeman to solve the problem of the little girl. If the child can't be found, the little girl still doesn't know what will happen. Zhu Bochun said that your whole family is here, so let's have a small meeting in one place. We want to know about Song Zhiyan and her husband-that is the relationship between Nan Yongchang and your family's attitude towards this matter. Boss Song is in charge of this house, so he nodded and said yes, then everyone sat down and answered questions raised by the criminal police. After answering, the content obtained by the criminal police is roughly the same as what Song's brother learned when he was stolen, but it was more detailed.

Let me talk about the investigation of Sun Wusheng and Le Jixin, another criminal police officer. They found the address of Song Zhiyan’s late boyfriend Nan Yongchang recorded in the transcript of the conversation between Song Zhiyan and her mother. It was a garden house in Huifu District. Nan Yongchang’s parents were overseas. He lived alone in Guangzhou, so he rented a suite in this bungalow. The landlord is an overseas Chinese lady, 70 years old, her ears are a little back, and she needs to yell out loudly to hear her clearly. Therefore, even if the two detectives took turns speaking, they still felt a little powerless.

But at last I learned the following: the tenant named Nan Yongchang is a handsome guy with a height of over 1.75 meters. It is not clear what occupation he is in. He only knows that he often drives a small Jeep used by the US military. The modified simple car comes in and out. His girlfriend, Xiao Song, always travels back and forth in this car. The old lady of the landlord had a very good impression of the young men and women, saying that they were sensible and respectful to them. The two people-especially Nan Yongchang-often gave her some exquisite snacks and fruits, and once she fell ill. , It was Mr. Nan who drove her to the hospital. The doctor prescribed penicillin injection, which was as expensive as gold and nervous. She had money and couldn't buy it. Mr. Nan got it for her, and the young man refused to accept the money. To express her gratitude, the old lady exempted him for half a year's rent.

So, how did Mr. Nan leave afterwards? The old lady wiped her tears without saying a word,Later, it was probably last July. It was very sultry. In the evening, she and two other tenants were sitting in the garden under a grape trellis to enjoy the cool, and the small jeep-modified car came in. She thought it was Nan Yongchang who was back, and when she was about to get up and bring out the mung bean soup prepared for the young man, she found that there was no Nan Yongchang among the two men who got out of the car. Strangely enough, one of them said that you are the landlord’s wife. We are Xiao Nan’s friends and are here to settle the bill for him. The landlord was a little confused at that time, saying what to pay, is it because Mr. Nan is going to move? Only then did the other party tell that Nan Yongchang was dead. It was a car accident in the afternoon. He was still breathing. He was sent to the Army Field Hospital near the scene. He woke up after the rescue and was even able to speak. While the friends next to him were rejoicing, Nan Yongchang said that he knew that his internal organs were so badly injured that he would not survive midnight, and he had to explain his funeral quickly. One of the funeral matters he confided was to entrust them to come and settle the bill with the landlord. He had to pay two months' rent more for his care. The personal belongings in the room belonged to him, and he entrusted a friend to deal with it. The two said that Nan Yongchang's feelings were accurate. After only a few hours, he died of internal organ bleeding. The two then handed the prepared rent to the old lady, and opened the room where he lived before using the key that Nan Yongchang left behind, and asked the landlord's wife to enter together. The personal belongings of Nan Yongchang were nothing but a suitcase, some clothes and a few books. After the landlord approved, the other party put the things in the suitcase and left.

In the afternoon, two criminal policemen met to summarize the situation. Sun Wusheng and Le Jixin expressed their opinions that regarding the death of Nan Yongchang, it seemed that there was nothing worth thinking about at first glance, but we both analyzed it again on the way back and found it to be a bit abnormal. Where is the abnormality? Just when Nan Yongchang died in a sudden car accident. It is said that Nan Yongchang had that simple car modified by a small American jeep. It is said that he usually drove this car. However, after the accident, his driver died of serious injuries. I specifically asked the landlord. Madam, she said that when Nan Yongchang's two friends drove the car to the door, she did not find any damage to the car. Of course, it is not yet certain that Nan Yongchang's car accident occurred while driving. Then Sun Wusheng said another point: The reason for the brother Song's theft seems to be entirely on the man’s side, that is, Nan Yongchang, who was previously identified as dead, because the woman has the baby in his hands, and there is no need to make extra branches. This is a false case.Now that there are doubts about Nan Yongchang's death, can we consider investigating the matter?

Zhu Bochun agreed after hearing that, saying that no matter who planned this case, it should be related to the social relationship of the newborn brother Song. Since the woman can rule it out, then our eyes must be on the man. Let's investigate whether that Nan Yongchang is really dead.

At three o'clock in the afternoon that day, the four detectives went to Songzhai No. 2 to visit Song Zhiyan. The relatives of the Song family have not left yet, and they are accompanying Song Zhiyan, who is just after a nap, drinking tea and talking in the living room. A group of people returned when the detective had gone, and there were two more than in the morning, and they couldn't help being stunned. Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng still maintained the same agility they used to do underground intelligence work. The first time they entered the door, they did not stare at others, but stared straight at Song Zhiyan. The two noticed at the same time that Song Zhiyan's eyes showed a slight strangeness for an instant, and they were fleeting, and then they looked away. Zhu and Sun quickly exchanged glances, and the meaning was all in their words: It seems that the direction is right!

Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng asked Le Jixin and Mai to learn about the death of Nan Yongchang from the rest of the Song family; the two of them had individual conversations with Song Zhiyan, hoping to get the truth from them.

Le Jixin, Mai and the others in the Song family gathered together to obtain the situation: The news of the death of Nan Yongchang, they learned from Song Zhiyan. Song Zhiyan and Nam Yongchang are in love. The family knew it, but the daughter did not tell the details of the interaction between the two, nor did the parents ask. It wasn't until one day that the parents discovered that their daughter had changed her lifestyle in the past few days, instead of running outside every day like before. They felt strange, and when they asked, they knew that Nan Yongchang had died in a car accident. When Song Zhiyan said the news at the time, her expression was a bit strange. They took it for granted that it was sad, and it was difficult to follow up.

Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng were talking to Song Zhiyan in the Song's study. The twenty-year-old girl did not speak when facing the interrogator's inquiry, but cried silently. In this way, the criminal police couldn't bear it: she was a pregnant woman, and she heard that crying and tearing during confinement would affect her health in the future. Therefore, the two retired outside, negotiated and decided to talk to Song Zhiyan's mother Jiang, ask her to do her daughter's job, and provide the criminal police with what they want to know.

Jiang agreed. But at the moment Song Jiyeon's mood is very unstable.I'm afraid I can't speak for a while, Jiang asked if I could postpone it, and give her some time, tomorrow morning at the latest. The time of the task force is stuck, and the leader gave it a seven-day time limit. At this time, three days have passed, but considering the particularity of the other party, Zhu Bochun also agreed.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, she finished her work, poured a glass of boiling water and stood at the window, when she suddenly saw a bicycle coming outside the window. With Xiao Wang's semi-professional vision, he recognized it as a Dunlop at a glance. Looking at the cyclist again, it was the woman with the long wavy hair last time, but she had changed her clothes and changed her cheongsam to a suit skirt. So why didn't Xiao Wang call the branch immediately? There is a reason for this. When the detective found Xiao Wang to understand the situation, she reflected on the Dunlop women's car and the woman with long wavy hair she had seen. After that, the criminal police never came to her again, so she thought that the situation she had reported was of no use to the criminal police's investigation work. Moreover, the criminal police did not take care of her that day. If she saw the car or the person again, please ask her. Call them immediately, so she saw it immediately when she saw it, and didn't make a call. So why did you call the task force again? Before leaving get off work, she talked to the head nurse when she changed her clothes. The head nurse advised her to report the situation to the Public Security Bureau, saying that regardless of whether it is useful for solving the case, you just make a phone call anyway, and you don’t need to pay for the call yourself. Dig, but a few minutes. If it is useful for solving the case, it is for. The government has also done a great thing for our hospital. Xiao Wang felt that it made sense, so he made this call.

Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng asked Ming that the woman with long wavy hair was riding the Dunlop from the production area towards the gate, so they concluded that she had gone to the production area. The two discussed, thinking that maybe this woman has nothing to do with the baby theft case. The last time she came to the hospital was to visit other women. She probably remembered that there was something urgent to do, so she hurried away without going to the ward, so she came again today. The hospital visits the lying-in woman. The reason for this consideration is that if she had come to step on something last time, Brother Song had already got it, and she didn't need to come a second time. However, since the Interpol has come to the hospital, he should go to the delivery room to find out.

So, the detective said to Xiao Wang, please do us a favor and accompany us to the production area to find out which woman the woman riding Dunlop went to visit. Xiao Wang said it's okay,I can just figure out who the Dunlop belongs to. My dad is very interested in it! The criminal police said that we can tell you that this Dunlop is a stolen car. Its ownership belongs to the Changshou District Youth League Committee. It was stolen two months ago. Xiao Wang said that if the case can be solved, the car should be returned to the Youth League Committee of the Parents’ Life District, right? I asked my dad to replace it with a new car.

The result that Xiao Wang accompanied Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng on his visit to the production area surprised both Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng: the woman with long wavy hair broke into the delivery room No. 5 where Song Zhiyan once lived in production area B at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, saying it was necessary After visiting Song Zhiyan, she heard that Song Zhiyan had been discharged from the hospital and left in a hurry.

Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng were suddenly excited: This sign indicates that the woman with long wavy hair is related to the baby theft case! The clue finally appeared! However, since she has stolen away her son, she came to the hospital again now and came straight to find Song Zhiyan. What does she want to do? If it is said that the baby was stolen for the kidnapping, it is impossible to ask for a ransom to go straight to the door and speak to the pregnant woman. Otherwise, Song Zhiyan shouted, is there any way for her to survive? The two negotiated, but to no avail, they decided to go back to the bureau and call Le Jixin and Mai to discuss together.

When Zhu and Sun returned to the branch, another message was waiting for them: Boss Song and his daughter Song Zhiyan came to the branch.

This family came to the branch because Jiang was able to do his daughter’s job. Song Zhiyan told the true situation of Nan Yongchang. Dad and mother thought it seemed a bit serious, so they immediately brought their daughter to the branch to find the project. Group reflection——

Song Zhiyan’s boyfriend Nan Yongchang is an overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, and his parents and other family members are all overseas, but his true identity is the major instructor of the Guangzhou Special Technical Training Center of the Kuomintang’s “Secret Bureau”. Nan Yongchang was born in a family of overseas Chinese in Nanyang, and later went to the United States to study at university, specializing in radio. He received his doctorate at the age of twenty-five. This year, when the Pacific War broke out, Nan Yongchang joined the US military to engage in military radio technology work, and was soon sent to China as an aid to China expert. When Dai Li, the head of the “Military Regiment Bureau” hosted a banquet for American experts, he had a few individual conversations with Nan Yongchang and learned that he was Chinese and not of American nationality. Yong Chang got into the "Military Control Bureau." After Dai Li's death, the "Military Control Bureau" was reorganized into the "Secret Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense". The successor Mao Renfeng did not appreciate Nan Yongchang.It was not reused, just because the newly established "Secret Bureau" Guangzhou Special Technical Training Center needed instructors, so Nan Yongchang was kicked over.

At that time, the Kuomintang government was declining frequently, and the "Secrecy Bureau" was in a downturn in this training center in Guangzhou. Nan Yongchang had nothing to do, and while wandering around, he met a young girl, Song Zhiyan. As mentioned earlier, Song Zhiyan was also unable to find a job after graduation, and the two of them were idle and idle, and they began to talk about love. Then, Song Zhiyan got pregnant.

In fact, Nan Yongchang’s car accident is a fiction. The real situation is: in July last year, Nan Yongchang suddenly received an order from the "Secrecy Bureau" to promptly transfer to Taipei, from when the order was received to when the plane took off. There is only one hour in between. This hour is not left for him to deal with personal affairs, but to hand over technical equipment, data, etc. at hand. Nan Yongchang asked Shangfeng what to do with the things in my residence and what to do with my girlfriend? Shangfeng said that we have arranged a special person to deal with it. The things are indispensable and must be delivered to you. As for the girlfriend, you can leave a letter to her to say a few words. However, you want her to declare that you have died in a car accident. So, Nan Yongchang entrusted the special agent (the two mentioned by the old lady of the landlord) to bring a letter to Song Zhiyan. Neizhong said the above reasons, and told him that the child in his womb must be born. At that time, he will go to Guangzhou in person or invite someone to go to Guangzhou to take Song Zhiyan and the child overseas for a formal wedding.

So Song Zhiyan acted according to Nan Yongchang's instructions. One was to let out the wind and claim that Nan Yongchang was dead, and the other was to have a miscarriage. In her opinion, as long as the child is safely given birth, Nan Yongchang will take her overseas to get married. Therefore, Song Zhiyan dared to resist the abortion of her parents, desperately to save the fetus in her stomach. However, the baby was stolen within a few days after giving birth. Song Zhiyan knew at the time that it was Nan Yongchang who had sent someone to do it, and it didn't matter if her son was "stolen" because she knew what was going on. So why did she commit suicide? It was because she realized that Nan Yongchang did not intend to fulfill her original promise from the point that the other party took her son away in this way, which means she decided to abandon her. But Nan Yongchang, the son she gave birth to, wanted it, because she had heard Nan Yongchang before that the family was not prosperous and there were few boys. Song Zhiyan became more angry as she thought about it, and she lost control of her emotions after giving birth. In today’s words, it’s "postpartum depression".So he decided to commit suicide.

Song Zhiyan finished speaking, and handed over the paper slips that Nan Yongchang asked to give her. Guangzhou was still under the rule of the Kuomintang in July last year, so the paper used by Nan Yongchang was a public letterhead with the words "Secret Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense" printed on the right side. This is enough to show that Song Zhiyan's above statement is true and credible.

After the criminal police sent away Song Zhiyan and her parents, they could not take care of dinner; they immediately analyzed the new situation. Recognizing Song Zhiyan's narrative, it is certain that Nan Yongchang is the mastermind of the infant theft case. However, after understanding this point, the situation faced by the task force is more complicated, because the case involves KMT secret agents, so another question arises: Is Nan Yongchang at this moment overseas or sneaking back to Guangzhou NS? The long wavy-haired woman who carried out her baby-stealing mission, the two men posing as officials of the Health Bureau, and the young woman who directly participated in the baby-stealing, were they KMT secret agents or ordinary criminals? There is another question: what does a woman with long wavy hair want to do when she comes to Xinyue Hospital to find Song Zhiyan in the afternoon?

Zhu Bochun said that it seems that these issues cannot be analyzed in a few words. Let's go to the cafeteria for dinner. The canteen has already been served, and the cook temporarily ordered a bowl of noodles for each of them, put the leftovers together and heated them up, put them in a basin and brought them out. The four of them didn't care, and they were talking while eating. Unexpectedly, this kind of informal case analysis would be very effective. They quickly solved two doubts: The woman with long wavy hair went to the hospital to find Song Zhiyan, probably to obtain Song's brother's birth information. Since they were ordered to steal the baby, after stealing the baby, they still faced a problem that convinced Nan Yongchang that this was his parent and child, and the birth data was the best evidence. From this point of view, Nan Yongchang is not in Guangzhou at the moment.

Having figured this out, the Interpol has the next step: the woman with long wavy hair does not know that she has been noticed by the task force. She will definitely try to get in touch with Song Zhiyan after she learns that Song Zhiyan has been discharged and went home. Therefore, You can consider deploying control inside and outside of Song's house; in addition, you should also consider that the perpetrator may abandon the original intention of obtaining birth information from Song Zhiyan, and look in another direction-stealing brother Song's birth information from the infant file room of Xinyue Hospital. Therefore, it is also necessary to immediately dispatch personnel to the hospital for deployment and control.

in this way,Is there enough manpower? Should we request additional leadership? When the four were studying at the dinner table, the cook hurried over and said that the guard room at the gate was calling, and someone urgently asked to see you!

Who will come to see you?

It was actually one of the three people who just sent away-Boss Song, Song Zhiyan's father!


Seven. Cracked

One hour ago, when Song Zhiyan was accompanied by her parents to the branch office to report the situation, an uninvited guest walked into Song's house. At that time, there was only a maid and Song Zhiyan's 16-year-old brother Song Zhifu. This uninvited guest was the woman with long wavy hair that the task force had been looking for before, and she was still riding the British famous Dunlop women's car. She told the maid who opened the door that she was Song Zhiyan's teacher, passing by Song's house, she wanted to see this student by the way. The maid said that the eldest lady was going out, and asked the convenience if Song Zhiyan's father or mother was at home. When she learned that Song Zhiyan was also going out, she said, is there anyone else in the Song family? While she was talking, Song Zhifu heard the sound and came out from the inside. Hearing that the person was her sister's former teacher, she warmly invited the other person in.

The two parties sat down in the living room. After the maid served tea, they went to work on other tasks. A woman with long wavy hair calls herself Liu, and Song Zhifu is known as "Mr. Liu". He was unable to answer the question asked by "Ms. Liu" about when his sister could go home, because he didn't know the situation of his mother and Song Zhiyan before, and there was no need for his parents and sister to go out to do anything. The minor revealed, this way! "Teacher Liu" said to Song Zhifu, then I will visit again tomorrow. With that, he took out a heavy rectangular red silk bag and put it on the table, saying that he heard that your sister had a baby, and an old friend of her entrusted me to give her a small gift, and then he got up and said goodbye. Song Zhifu was still a junior high school student, so he had no social experience. At the moment, he didn't even think about whether he could accept the gift, and he didn't even ask to keep it, so he sent "Mr. Liu" out the door.

After his parents and sister returned from the branch, Song Zhifu talked about the situation of a "Ms. Liu" who had been here, and pointed to the red silk bag that was still on the coffee table in the living room and showed it to the adults. . Boss Song in the past, many years of business experience made him confirm that it was a banknote as soon as he caught it, and it should be no less than 10 million yuan (this is the old version of renminbi, which is equivalent to 1,000 yuan in the new version, the same below). Untie the silk now,Inside was an envelope. Sure enough, there was a thick wad of banknotes in the envelope, and the bank's seal had not yet been torn off.

Song Zhiyan recalled and said that no teacher surnamed Liu had taught her, even if the substitute teacher had never had a female teacher surnamed Liu! In fact, facing this banknote that could be called a huge sum of money in the eyes of ordinary people at the time, it was really outrageous that Teacher Liu was actually sent to the door by someone and she herself. At the moment, my mother said that the banknotes should not be moved. Didn't the person tell Zhifu that she would come tomorrow, and listen to what she said when she came tomorrow.

Here to say-next, the clues of the task force's investigation of the woman with long wavy hair are strictly confidential, and it is of course impossible for everyone on the Song family to know. However, even so, Boss Song, who has some social experience, obviously felt that there must be a big problem behind this matter, so now he said that he couldn't wait until tomorrow, and I had to hand the bill to the Public Security Bureau immediately!

The detective heard Boss Song say so and so, and immediately all dispatched to Song's house. After asking the maid and Song Zhifu face-to-face in detail, they first figured out that the bicycle "Ms. Liu" was riding was a Dunlop women's bike, and based on the other's age, body shape, and hair style, it was determined that it was the woman with long wavy hair. So, instead of going back to the branch, he requisitioned Song's study room as a temporary office for the task force, closed the door and held a meeting on the spot to discuss the situation. Since the circumstances of Nan Yongchang’s fraudulent death have been investigated before, she immediately made an accurate judgment on the motive of the woman with long wavy hair: she wanted to use the money to obtain the birth information of the newborn baby from Song Zhiyan. Only in this way can Nan Yongchang and his family be convinced that this child is indeed the birth of Song Zhiyan. It can also be shown that Brother Song has not been sent abroad yet, so it is estimated that he is hiding in Guangzhou.

Going down is how to catch a woman with long wavy hair. After some research, the Interpol thinks that since the woman with long wavy hair has left such a large sum of money, she must be extremely sure of obtaining birth documents. She will come to Songzhai tomorrow to meet Song Zhiyan, and may even come tonight. It is hard to say, therefore, it is necessary to leave two criminal policemen on guard. In addition, considering that the other birth documents are in Xinyue Hospital, the perpetrator may also go to the hospital to steal or even rob, so the other two criminal police officers should go to the hospital to guard.

However, the result of squatting is surprising: not only did the guard stay in vain that night, but the perpetrator did not show his face for the whole day the next day!

The task force realized that the situation had changed,The other party may have discovered Boss Song’s report to the police. Therefore, on the evening of April 10, Zhu Bochun and Sun Wusheng, who were guarding Song’s house, began to study how to find other ways to investigate the whereabouts of the woman with long wavy hair. The two checked the bank seal on the money and found a personal seal on it. I consulted Boss Song, who is familiar with this when dealing with banks, and learned that this is the name of the bank counter manager. Thus, the idea came into being: to investigate the situation of the withdrawal of the money to the bank.

On the morning of April 11, as soon as the bank opened, the criminal police began investigating which bank's salesperson was the owner of the private seal on the seal. After running seven banks in a row, I finally found this salesperson with the surname Ouyang in Taiping District. According to Ouyang's recollection, the huge sum of money was part of the payment on March 23 to women who came to sell gold. Judging from her statement, the woman was a woman with long wavy hair. She sold a total of twelve taels (old scales of the sixteen-two system) of gold at the time. It was 11.52 million yuan, of which 10 million yuan was the wad of banknotes.

Criminal police cheat, this is easy to do. Selling gold requires the presentation of the account book, and the bank must register the head of the household, which should be tracked down. Upon investigation, the household registration used by the woman with long wavy hair was originally from a resident named Zhang Jincheng in Dadong District. So I went to the door. It was a tea shop with a two-storey facade and a front shop and a back shop. Interestingly, before the detective entered the door, he saw the famous Dunlop women's bicycle parked in the passage leading from the store hall to the back residence. The police from the police station who accompanied him summoned Boss Zhang and handcuffed him first. When searched, there were no babies and no women with long wavy hair. Interrogating Boss Zhang and other personnel on the spot, they didn't know anything about babies; when asked about women with long wavy hair, it was all right-Boss Zhang's cousin Zhang Jinhua. Where is this Zhang Jinhua at the moment? In the suburb of Jiangmen, where is the hometown of the Zhang brothers and sisters.

So, the criminal police immediately rushed to Jiangmen and finally caught Zhang Jinhua; the stolen baby brother Song was also there, safe and sound. At this point, the raging baby-stealing case has finally come to light -

Zhang Jinhua is an unemployed woman, and her husband is an engineer from the Kuomintang arsenal, whose surname is Wu. The arsenal and the "Secrecy Bureau" are well-known as "special equipment engineering"-silent pistols, pen pistols, umbrella poison needles, table tennis bombs, micro-transceivers and other secret service equipment.Engineer Wu is one of the important members. For such a role, Guangzhou naturally had to flee overseas on the eve of liberation, and Zhang Jinhua went to Hong Kong with her husband. After Song Zhiyan's boyfriend Nan Yongchang was ordered to go to Taipei last summer, he was dispatched to Hong Kong by the "Secrecy Bureau" to start a spy business in the name of doing business. Nan and Wu were very good friends when they were in Guangzhou. They lived not far in Hong Kong, so they had more contacts. Nan Yongchang is single and often goes to Wu's house for dinner. One day in early March, he confided to Wu and Zhang while drinking: When he left Guangzhou last year, Song Zhiyan was pregnant and she was about to give birth. If the child was born, he would like to take it. As for Song Zhiyan, then Even if it were, he was just playing around with him. Wu and Zhang can be regarded as enthusiastic people, so they said they could help them with inquiries. If they were sons, they would try to get them to Hong Kong. Given the situation at the border between Guangdong and Hong Kong at that time, it was very easy to smuggle a baby over. Spend a little money to find a fisherman or peasant (due to historical reasons, at that time, Hong Kong and Guangdong peasants had land outside each other and often crossed the border for farming). Can be brought here. Nan Yongchang was overjoyed and bowed his head to Wu and Zhang on the spot, and the matter was settled.

The next day, Nam Yongchang sent twenty taels of gold as a fee, saying that twelve taels were for Song Zhiyan. After the event is completed, there is another reward. The couple Wu and Zhang discussed: Of course Wu cannot go back to Guangzhou, but Zhang can go back to visit relatives. This matter was carried out to Zhang Jinhua.

Zhang Jinhua went to Guangzhou from Hong Kong on the 20th of last month under the pretext of visiting relatives. When she went to the police station to report a temporary account, she falsely claimed that she had divorced her husband. At that time, the police did not know her husband’s history and current situation. Zhang Jinhua first went to find Liu Mingdao and Shi Bin, who were former students of Nan Yongchang’s "Secrecy Bureau" special training class. These two were both ground ruffians on the ground in Guangzhou. They were once sought by the "Secrecy Bureau" to participate in spy training. They were trained as qualified agents, but they repeatedly violated disciplines during the training and were expelled. Liu and Shi had a good personal relationship with Nan Yongchang, so Nan Yongchang thought that they were willing to help Zhang Jinhua accomplish this, and of course they had to be paid. Sure enough, Zhang Jinhua came to the door and said it was done. The reward was two taels of gold per person. Then, Zhang Jinhua found her husband’s niece, Jia Yiyan, but did not pay, but asked the other party to eat a meal, saying that there might be something to ask her for a favor recently. Jia is an unemployed girl with only elementary school education. She is trying to get Zhang Jinhua to take her to Hong Kong to marry a wealthy family, so she absolutely obeys Zhang Jinhua.

Down, Zhang Jinhua lived in her cousin Zhang Jincheng’s house, and instructed Liu, Shi, and Jia to take turns to go out to Song Zhiyan’s house to ask neighbors about Song Zhiyan’s news, and learned that she had been in Xinxin on the afternoon of March 28 The Guangdong Hospital gave birth to a baby boy. Therefore, Zhang Jinhua decided to start. For the sake of safety, she personally came forward and rode the Dunlop car in the cousin’s shop (the car was the stolen property Zhang Jincheng bought from the black market) to the hospital to step on the spot, and asked the nurse about Song Zhiyan’s location. He then drew a sketch map and gave it to Jia Yiyan, who ordered him to notify Liu and Shi to start.

In the early morning of April 1, Jia, Liu, and Shi went to the hospital to start. The operation was successful, but Zhang Jinhua's sketches were unprofessional, and Jia Yiyan's understanding was also problematic. As a result, by mistake, the son of another pregnant woman, Cui Donghui, was stolen. After the baby got the baby, Zhang Jinhua began to think about getting the baby's birth information. Since Jia Yiyan and the three had gone to the hospital to commit the crime and were not suitable to show up again, Zhang Jinhua came forward to the hospital to inquire about the situation on the afternoon of April 1st, only to find out. They got the wrong object. In this way, they had to instruct Liu and Shi to send the baby back to the hospital and notify Jia Yiyan to start again.

After stealing Song Zhiyan's baby, it is how to get the birth documents, otherwise it would be impossible to make him believe just by handing the baby to Nan Yongchang. Originally, Zhang Jinhua didn't want to contact Song Zhiyan. Whether Nan Yongchang took care of Song Zhiyan to pay the twelve taels of gold was still a question. After all, this matter was a bit risky. But later discovered that only Song Zhiyan could get the birth documents, so she had to take a risk. She believed that with her own rhetoric and a dozen taels of gold, she could exchange for the useless birth documents in Song Zhiyan's hand.

After Zhang Jinhua learned that Song Zhiyan was discharged from the hospital, she went to Song Zhiyan to find Song Zhiyan. At this time, another idea came into her mind: If you can't discuss it with the Song family, just grab it! So, she asked Liu Mingdao and Shi Bin to go to Song's house with them and stay nearby to pick them up. She coaxed Song Zhiyan to show her the birth documents and ran away by surprise. When they arrived at Song's house, they didn't see Song Zhiyan. Zhang Jinhua and the others were actually waiting near Song's house. Soon, Song Zhiyan and her parents came back. Before Zhang Jinhua had time to implement his plan, she saw Song Zhiyan's father, Boss Song, hurried out, stopped a tricycle that happened to be passing by, and ordered to go to the Public Security Bureau. So Zhang Jinhua knew that the matter had been exposed, and the three of them fled the scene.

According to Zhang Jinhua's account, the task force immediately arrested Liu Mingdao, Shi Bin, and Jia Yiyan. At this point, the baby theft case was finally solved. At this time, there are still more than 30 hours before the time limit for solving the case set by the leadership.

In September 1950, the Guangzhou Military Control Commission issued a criminal verdict on the infant theft case, and sentenced Zhang Jinhua, Liu Mingdao, Shi Bin, and Jia Yiyan to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from seven to four years for the crime of "undermining public security." The owner of the store, Zhang Jincheng, was not involved in the case, and the acquisition of stolen cars was not dealt with and was released on the spot.
