Everyone was surprised and stopped eating one after another, looking at the task force leader with good eyes. Nan Mingqiu signaled everyone to approach, pointing at the report letter and signing for the receipt: "This is written by the same person!"
Wang Biting and four other investigators surrounded and inspected, but after watching for a long time, they were unable to get the key points. So, Nan Mingqiu wrote three phrases on a piece of white paper: "Commander Yang, national face, allegedly", and drew a thick bar under the three words "Yang", "Guo" and "Zheng", pointing to the report letter and saying, "Look, aren't the writing handwriting of these three words exactly the same as the three characters signed by "Yang Erguo"?"
The other people carefully identified it and felt that it was true. I thought of the narrow strips of rough paper used as a letter paper, and I thought this was consistent with the situation in the big car shop. So, he happily talked about the letter of complaint written by the female boss of the "Shuangyang Big Car Shop". Okay, let's go to her to find out in person? But Nan Mingqiu doesn't think so. His point is: I basically believe that the situation mentioned in this letter is true and credible because she really doesn't need to joke with us. And it takes a lot of courage to be able to write a letter of complaint for such content. Since she is anonymous, she is worried. If we come to the door to understand the situation, what if she denies it? Didn’t that make things go free? Moreover, it may also alarm the assassin and create unsafe factors for others. So, we must first make it true that the female boss wrote the letter, and then we can have a quiet contact with her.
After hearing this, everyone thought Nan Mingqiu's words were reasonable, so they discussed a plan to implement it.
First learn about the situation of the female boss of the "Shuangyang Big Car Store": this is a 30-year-old young woman named Chen Kanfeng, unmarried, from Meng County, Henan Province. She came to Yinchuan in the summer of 1944 to join Chen Ziling, the uncle of the 17th Army of the National Army, who was a national art instructor in Ma Hongkui, . At that time, Chen Ziling happened to take down the "Shuangyang Big Car Store" outside the south gate of Yinchuan City from an 3 person in the Hui tribe, and was about to ask someone to run it. Chen Kanfeng asked her to run it, so Chen Ziling handed over the big car store to her niece. It is said that Chen Kanfeng's family used to run a car shop in Meng County for a third generation. She is familiar with it, so she can manage it easily. Chen Ziling is a famous Tai Chi master. His martial arts ranks first in Ningxia Province and even the northwest region. It is said that his personal relationship with Ma Hongkui and his son is also good. With this, Chen Kanfeng's big car shop run by naturally did not dare to make trouble, and he created a brand over the years. As for Chen Kanfeng herself, many people saw that she was unmarried and tried to match her or her uncle. Some of them were senior officers of the National Army. However, for some reason, whether it was Chen Ziling or Chen Kanfeng herself, no matter what the identity of the person who spoke was, they all shook their heads.
task force asked Military Control Commission Public Security Department of the Ministry of Public Security to conduct a routine investigation of the "Shuangyang Big Car Store", and an investigator Dang Dawang was added. The group came to the door just to ask if there were any suspicious objects coming to stay recently, whether the passengers were carrying weapons, murder weapons, drugs and other items explicitly prohibited by the Military Control Commission, and of course they also had to search the passenger registration book. In fact, the real purpose of flipping through the registration book was the real purpose. Dang Dawang noticed that there was indeed a passenger named Yang Erguo who registered for staying on February 26 this year. According to the registration book information, the person has not left the car shop yet.
So, Dang Dawang pointed to Yang Erguo's name and asked the guy: Has this guest stayed yet? Why have you lived for so long? The guy said, hey, don’t mention it, this person named Yang is a slippery person. He had already left on April 4th. He had eaten and lived in my account for more than a month, but he didn’t pay a penny. He sneaked away.
Dang Dawang was shocked: Didn’t the postman Lao Huang say he would go to vote on April 5th? Since this man had already left last day, why did he accept his letter?
task force secretly summoned Chen Kanfeng that afternoon. The reason for the summons is: someone reported that you had privately detained the passenger's letter, please explain it.
Chen Kanfeng initially reacted to this, saying that there was no such thing in her memory. So, the investigator pointed out the registration mail from Yang Erguo. Chen Kanfeng nodded and said easily that there was a registered letter from this person, which I collected on his behalf. The person owed the fee for the old account for more than a month and did not pay it. He slipped away quietly. I was about to look for him. If you don’t pay for staying in a hotel, is there any reason in the world?
OK, what about this letter?
Chen Kanfeng didn't feel until this time that "the person who came here is not good". She looked at the investigator with bright eyes. After a moment, she smiled slightly and said unexpectedly: "So, it seems that you are not looking for me for this registered letter, but for other things?"
Nan Mingqiu sent a cup of tea, and also said with a smile: "Boss Chen, you are a smart person!"
Chen Kanfeng bowed and bowed to the investigator with both hands and counted: "Haha, it seems that it's like, it seems The smart man is all the gentlemen, and he quickly found the "Shuangyang Big Car Store". Admiration! Admiration!"
The next topic was easily transferred to the report letter -
On the eighth day after the liberation of Yinchuan, two men came to the "Shuangyang Big Car Store", claiming to come from Zhongning . The registration book was written as a "business" profession, and it was not necessary to live in a clean and quiet room. Chen Kanfeng then arranged the two of them to the highest-cost room next to her account and bedroom in the backyard. The two were satisfied with it and took out three o'clock and said they would stay for two days. By the way, they asked the kitchen in the store to prepare some wine and food for them, saying that they would entertain a distinguished guest in the evening.
Chen Kanfeng thought these two people seemed a little strange at the time: they seemed generous when booking a room, and their conversation and behavior seemed to be familiar with the rules of the world. However, if they really wanted to entertain distinguished guests, they should go out to the restaurant. How could they invite distinguished guests to drink in such a large car shop that is not of high quality? In this way, Chen Kanfeng became more concerned and thought to pay attention. The big car shop is because the passengers they receive are mixed, and what they are most worried about is committing crimes in the store. As soon as a criminal case occurs, even if it is not a murder case, the store’s signature will be discounted. Within a week, the business will be immediately displayed. Therefore, the first important thing when opening a big car shop is to not allow passengers to commit crimes in the store.
Because he felt it was strange, Chen Kanfeng decided to keep a heart. She told the kitchen master to be very careful when preparing food and food for the guests in this room later and not to consider the cost. Chen Kanfeng's intention was to make the guests concentrate on drinking and discuss matters, while she eavesdropped in her room what secret matters they had discussed with the guest who had not yet appeared. In order to prevent the other party from becoming suspicious, Chen Kanfeng did not dare to stay outside and waited for the guest to come to the door, but waited in her room in advance.
Around 6 o'clock that night, the guest came and Chen Kanfeng listened in the room next door. It was a man who spoke very lightly. The two hosts who received him looked very respectful to him. As soon as they met, they called him "Mr. Guo" and repeatedly greeted him, but he just responded without any pain. It was not until the kitchen master delivered the food and the three of them drank 3 cups that Mr. Guo talked more. When Chen Kanfeng heard him call the other two "Lao Bai" and "Lao Lian", he asked him what he needed to help with when he came over. The two of them said no, no, let’s talk slowly while drinking. The man surnamed Guo was unhappy and put the wine glass on the table and said, "If he didn't say anything, he would say goodbye." So the man surnamed Bai said that this is a big deal. Brother is afraid that Mr. Guo would be too surprised to hear it, so he wanted to invite you to have a few glasses of wine before explaining. The man surnamed Guo didn't say anything, just sneered. So the Lian-sen spoke, and the content he said surprised Chen Kanfeng, who was eavesdropping: it was actually asking the assassination of Commander Yang of the People's Liberation Army, who was surnamed Guo!
cards, and it will be much more straightforward to talk about it further: Bai and Lian are spies lurking in Ningxia Province assigned by Ma Hongkui, who are willing to buy this very powerful shot Mr. Guo to assassinate Yang Dezhi at the price of 30 taels of gold. The man surnamed Guo expressed his interest in this job, but the price had to double. He also asked for two American pistols and 100 bullets.Bai and Lian had no objection to providing pistols and bullets, saying that they could give 4 and more bullets, but gold was only one or two, and they could not increase. The man surnamed Guo was furious and said that I, Guo, would live a very comfortable life if I didn’t get involved with you. Why should I give up this kind of comfortable life for these 30 taels of gold? In this way, Guo said goodbye. Please rest assured, although Guo is a man from the world, he still knows a little about the officialdom. He will definitely keep his mouth shut and will never disclose it. As he said that, he didn't even drink wine, got up and wanted to leave, but was dragged by the two. The two sides bargained for a while, and finally Bai and Lian had to agree to the request surnamed Guo and took out 20 taels of gold as deposit on the spot. The pistol and bullets were prepared long ago, and they were handed over to the assassin on the spot.
Chen Kanfeng eavesdropped on this, even though he had already made some mental preparations, he was so shocked that he seemed to be venting heavily. She thought about this and had to report it to the People's Liberation Army, otherwise she would be afraid that the big car shop would be blocked in the future and she might have to be involved in a lawsuit. So she left the room and went to the shop in front. She had to see clearly how Guo looked so that the People's Liberation Army could catch people. After about half an hour, Bai and Lian politely sent the man surnamed Guo out.
That night, Chen Kanfeng wrote a report letter. Of course, for her own safety reasons, she could not disclose the information on the "Shuangyang Big Car Store" and did not leave any signatures. Chen Kanfeng never wrote a letter and did not have a letter paper envelope on hand. She wanted to write it on the whole piece of rough paper, but she was afraid of revealing the filling, so she cut one and wrote it. After writing it, I found that there was no envelope. I remembered that there was a registered letter from Yang Erguo who was owed money in the spring (she was lucky to sign and keep it for the first time, thinking that the person surnamed Yang would come to collect it because of this important letter, so he could ask him for the hotel fee). I didn't care about it, and I tore open the envelope and used it, and the letter was still kept.
The next morning, when Chen Kanfeng went out to buy vegetables in the city, she threw the stamp into the email address at the door of the post office without posting it. It was not that she was reluctant to buy stamps, but she was worried that the post office salesperson would remember her appearance when she went to buy stamps. When she turned around, the People's Liberation Army asked for trouble to come to the post office.
After Chen Kanfeng made the above statement, she asked Nan Mingqiu: Keep it confidential for her, otherwise she would suffer revenge. Nan Mingqiu said this naturally, we will keep it confidential for you if you don’t mention it. We thank you. There may be something you need to help in the next investigation. If you find any new situation, please inform us in time.

After Chen Kanfeng left, the task force immediately held a case analysis meeting. The meeting first confirmed the authenticity of the report letter. At this point, it was obviously unquestionable. It is precisely because of this that everyone can truly feel the heaviness of the weight on their shoulders. Nan Mingqiu thought of the scene where Commander Yang Dezhi attended the Yinchuan Municipal People's Congress to celebrate the founding of the People's Republic of China and the liberation of Yinchuan Municipal People's Republic of China and spoke on stage, and then went to the masses to shake hands and talk, and couldn't help but feel scared.
Then, the assassin's situation was analyzed, and judging from what Chen Kanfeng heard about the words "people from the rivers and lakes" that this guy had never been a spy or a soldier before, and he might be a bandit. This is easy to deal with: if a bandit can have the kind of reputation that even Ma Hongkui knows and spend 60 taels of gold to ask him for help, then his fame must be extraordinary. I believe that since Ma Hongkui's spies can find him, the Communist task force can find him. How to find a way? After the investigation, the investigators decided to adopt two methods: one was to investigate the situation of Bai and Lian from the local local area of Yinchuan who had been in custody of robbers and bandits in history and had registered with the Military Control Commission and wait at home after handling; the other was to go to the training brigade to learn about the situation of Bai and Lian from the officers under Ma Hongkui who were learning and explaining the problems.
After the idea was decided, it was already evening, but Nan Mingqiu still divided the members of the task force into two, and asked them to have a hurry to have some supper and conduct investigations separately, and returned to the same place before midnight to have a meeting.
At 12 o'clock that night, the task force met again. Although the investigators who went to the training brigade to investigate found 34 subjects to investigate, no one had heard of Ma Hongkui's spy system having the surname Bai and Lian. In this way, it is estimated that the two spies were asked to discuss the transaction with the assassin Guo in a pseudonym. All the people were killed in vain, but the other people gained something. Along the way were Nan Mingqiu and Xiao Xu. They divided the work. Nan Mingqiu went to the detention center under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Security of the Military Control Commission, found several comrades to tell the investigation content, and asked them to help interrogate the bandits and robbers in custody. Xiao Xu invited seven or eight registered people through the Public Security Section of the Ministry of Public Security of the Military Control Commission to hold a symposium and directly asked if there was a person like Guo. After a two-pronged investigation, Nan Mingqiu and Xiao Xu actually gained the same gain: both parties involved provided a questionable object: the sharp gun thief Guo Tianwei.
This person, who is nicknamed "Sharp Gun Thieves" in the world, has been on the ground in Ningxia for seven or eight years. Guo Tianwei's shooting skills are extremely good. Usually, he is already a sharpshooter after hitting every shot. The two gunmen who can shoot their bows left and right can make the gun even better. But if this kind of character is compared with Guo Tianwei, he will have to be said to be a "small witch", because Guo Tianwei actually has a superman skill that can use 4 shots and hit every shot! According to several investigators who have seen Guo Tianwei's unique skills, Guo Tianwei held guns in both hands, with a pistol inserted on both sides of his waist. After aiming the two guns in his hand at the target, he threw the two guns into the air, and then pulled out the two guns at a dazzling speed to shoot. After firing a bullet, he threw the two guns into the air. The two guns that were thrown first fell down and caught them with both hands and continued shooting. This was repeated until the bullets of the four pistols were shot out, and none of the bullets shot out was empty. Although this acrobatic-like technique is of little use in actual combat, it can be enough to show how great Guo Tianwei's shooting skills and psychological qualities are.
This Guo Tianwei is a person with a strange behavior. He usually has a sloppy whereabouts. No one knows where he lives. When Ma Hongkui heard about Guo Tianwei's shooting skills, he wanted him to be his personal bodyguard, but he could not find him - of course, it was not ruled out that he was unwilling to serve Ma Hongkui and deliberately avoided it. Guo Tianwei has such a great shooting technique, so there are naturally many people who have suffered losses, but his public anger is not very large, and ordinary people may not even know him. Because although Guo Tianwei makes a living by committing robbery, he has strict plans for the targets and the number of times he commits. Every New Year's Eve, he will formulate plans for the next year's crime like a merchant formulates a trade plan for the coming year. In principle, two cases will be done in a year. All counties in Ningxia take turns to carry out the robbery, and the targets are usually rich and wealthy local households. There are no rules to start during the day and night, but when you come to the door, you will not miss it. You will only take gold, silver and cash. As long as the person you are robbed cooperates, he will not even touch someone's fingers.
task force analyzed that the order to assassinate Yang Dezhi was obviously issued directly by Ma Hongkui. Perhaps this was also an explanation from Ma Hongkui to Chiang Kai-shek to make up for the "no war" he was captured by the People's Liberation Army in such a short time, so he was willing to give a huge reward of 60 taels of gold. Ma Hongkui's spy system could not find a suitable candidate to complete this mission. In order to prevent the shocking attack from shocking the enemy, it would alarm the People's Liberation Army to form obstacles to the action again. They must send a top killer who can be defeated with one blow, so they thought of the "Sharp Gun Thieves" Guo Tianwei.
How to carry out the next investigation work? After repeated discussions, the task force decided to divide the troops into two groups, investigating Bai and Lian, and directly investigating Guo Tianwei.
The next morning, before the investigator was dispatched, Nan Mingqiu received a call from the guards at the door, saying that a woman named Chen wanted to see him. Nan Mingqiu suddenly felt shocked: This is obviously Chen Kanfeng, the female owner of the "Shuangyang Big Car Store". She came to the door early in the morning. It seems that there is a new situation to be reflected.
Chen Kanfeng is indeed here to provide new situations: Last night, Bai, who had stayed in the "Shuangyang Big Car Store" on September 30, suddenly came to her quietly and asked for some medicine to treat sprained ankle bones.
Chen Kanfeng came from a martial arts family. His ancestors have been famous martial arts masters for several generations, and they also possessed the ancestral medical skills of treating bruises and injuries. By the generation of his father, four brothers inherited their grandfather's martial arts and medical skills. Later, Chen Kanfeng's uncle went to Mount Wutai to become an Taoist priest , and his second uncle traveled across the ocean to Nanyang. The two below became martial arts instructors of the National Army. Chen Kanfeng's father Chen Zixian was in the 15th Army of the National Army in Fan Hanjie , and his uncle Chen Ziling was in the 17th Army of the National Army on Ma Hongkui's side. As soon as Chen Ziling arrived in Ningxia, he cured the internal injuries of several senior generals of the Ma Family Army with his ancestral superb medical skills, and immediately became a famous doctor on the front line. Chen Kanfeng has also learned boxing with her elders since she was a child, practiced internal skills, and has a little knowledge of the treatment of bruises and injuries. Passengers staying in the "Shuangyang Big Car Store" sometimes encounters a sprain in the waist and leg, so they ask Chen Kanfeng to treat it, which is quite effective. On the eve of Yinchuan liberation, Chen Kanfeng's uncle Chen Ziling went to Taiwan with Ma Hongkui. Chen Kanfeng accidentally became the successor of the Chen family's injury department in Yinchuan. Before she could realize this, Bai's visit played a reminder role.
Bai told Chen Kanfeng that the friend he treated to the hotel on the day he stayed in the hotel might have drunk a little bit too much, and accidentally sprained his ankle bone when he got home. At first I thought I would get better after a day or two, but I didn’t know that it would be serious and it was even a little difficult to walk. I heard that Boss Chen has a ancestral skill in treating bruises and injuries, so I bought some injury medicine and the price was just for free. After hearing this, Chen Kanfeng thought that it was God's will. He would be punished if he did evil. Commander Yang of the People's Liberation Army descended to the earth from the sky. How can you let your ideas? I want to attack others, but will I be retribution after having an idea? Since that's the case, why don't I help the People's Liberation Army to send the Buddha to the West with all my strength, and I'll secretly let you catch it. So she came up with a plan and said that she was not a doctor. Although she could help others treat severe bruises and injuries, she did not prepare medicine at hand. If you have to, I have to prepare it for you tomorrow. I hope you can come here to pick it up tomorrow afternoon. Bai was a little disappointed, but he had no choice but to nod and leave.
