Chapter 2 1960 Pretending to be the prime minister's signature fraud case

March 18, 1960.dusk.Wearing a gray herringbone coat, a tall, thin, long-faced, part-haired, yellow-and-black middle-aged man appeared in the secretary's office of the head office of the People's Bank of China at the east entrance of Xijiaomin Lane, Beijing. "I'm from the State Council. I'm here to send an urgent message to the president." The visitor handed over a large envelope with the words "State Council of the People's Republic of China" printed on it, and then opened a purple envelope to send a text, "Please sign." The visitor signed at the place designated by the visitor, and the visitor said "OK" as a matter of routine, put away the text, and walked out of the door with calm steps.The light in the secretary's room was dim, and the young clerk couldn't see the sender's features more clearly.

The clerk saw the word "urgent" written on the envelope, and after registering it on the receipt, he quickly called another clerk and asked him to send it to the president's office immediately.When the president was away, the secretary of the president took over the "urgent mail". Seeing the eye-catching text on the envelope marked "Delivery by 5:40", he opened it immediately. Inside was an official letter personally written by Premier Zhou Enlai. The content is: Prime Minister: The chairman's office called to report that at 9 o'clock tonight, the Living Buddha of Tibet will hold a lecture. Chinese and foreign journalists will participate and make a documentary film.The chairman ordered some money to be used for repairing the temple, which can show our policy on ethnic minorities and religious freedom.According to the above situation, it is proposed to allocate 150,000 to 200,000 yuan. Please give instructions if it is possible.

March 18, 1960 On the left is Premier Zhou's instruction: "The People's Bank of China, please allocate 200,000 yuan immediately." Under Zhou Enlai's signature, there is also a note: To avoid journalists from capitalist countries spreading rumors: 1. Old notes that need to be circulated in the market; 2. Ten yuan bills are required; 3. The packaging should be nicer, and it must be delivered to Minzu Hotel Zhao Quanyi (Religious Affairs Department of Tibet Working Committee) at 7 o'clock. Looking at the familiar and stylish signature, although the young secretary had doubts about this unconventional practice, the doubts were fleeting.She raised her wrist and saw that the hour and minute hands of the watch were pointing to 6 and 12 respectively, she couldn't help but feel nervous, ah, there is only one hour left before the limited payment time.There is no time to delay.So she hurriedly picked up the phone: "Hello, is the issuing bureau?" After confirming that the phone number was correct, she notified her name, and issued an order in an indisputable tone: "Within half an hour, you must prepare 200,000 yuan. Cash, yes, there is an important political task! What, procedures? You should prepare cash first, pay attention, you need old notes, and the Bureau of Planning and Research will officially issue a payment notice."

After hanging up the phone, the secretary hastily knocked on the office of the leader on duty—Deputy Director Wang of the Planning and Research Bureau.She handed the letter and the Prime Minister's instructions to Deputy Director Wang. After reading it carefully, Deputy Director Wang asked suspiciously, "200,000 is not a small amount. Why didn't it go through the Ministry of Finance?" "Time is running out, look, there is less than an hour left!" The president's secretary was a little anxious. Before Deputy Director Wang could answer, the phone on the desk rang suddenly. He picked up the receiver:

"Hello, this is the Planning and Research Bureau of the head office, yes... we are preparing! It will be delivered on time before 7 o'clock, please tell the Prime Minister to rest assured." When the phone was hung up, Deputy Director Wang did not put down the receiver. While dialing the dial, he said to the president's secretary: "The Prime Minister's Office is calling again. I will immediately notify the distribution bureau and ask them to send the money quickly!" After hanging up the phone, the director once again urged the distribution bureau to do it quickly.The section chief of the distribution bureau put down the phone, took Lao Wu from Corey with him, called a car and drove directly to the Beijing Branch of the People's Bank of China.The comrades at the branch didn't dare to be negligent. According to the requirements of the official letter issued by the Prime Minister, they went to the vault to withdraw cash, picked up old notes, packed them, and packed them in two sacks.At this time, Section Chief Zhu, who was on duty at the Publication Bureau, was also ordered to rush to urge the matter. He was really in a hurry.The three of them carried the sack into the car and went straight to Minzu Hotel.

At this time, it was time to light the lamps, and the guests who had dinner and went out after dinner were coming in and out in the lobby on the first floor of the Minzu Hotel.The three of Section Chief Zhu carried the sack into the revolving door of the front hall, went straight to the service desk and asked "Comrade Zhao Quanyi of the Tibet Working Committee". pants.He approached the service desk and said, "I am Zhao Quanyi from the Tibet Working Committee. Are you from the head office of the People's Bank of China? Have you brought the money?" Section Chief Zhu looked at Zhao Quanyi in front of him, and asked with relief, "We didn't make any mistakes, did we?"

Zhao Quan shook his head with a smile, and pointed to the wall clock on the wall: "It's very punctual! Have you brought all the money?" Chief Zhu nodded, pointed with his finger, and said, "Because all the old tickets are needed, the comrades in the issuing bureau worked overtime to count them. Look, there are two full sacks?" Zhao Quanyi took out a letter that was stamped "Specially for introduction letters from the Prime Minister's Office".It says: I would like to introduce Comrade Zhao Quanyi from the Religious Affairs Department of the Tibet Working Committee to go to your bank to receive an allocation of 200,000 yuan. Sincerely, the People's Bank of China.

March 18, 1960 Chief Zhu read the letter and asked Zhao Quanyi to type a receipt. Zhao Quanyi took out a notebook from his pocket, tore off a page, wrote a white note, and gave it to the middle-aged man. "Should an official seal be stamped?" Chief Zhu was not at ease.After all, this is a huge sum of money, and if something goes wrong, he can't explain it.Zhao Quan smiled: "Isn't there already an official seal on this letter? Why don't you take this letter of introduction back with you?" Chief Zhu took the letter of introduction and the receipt, and left Minzu Hotel.When they stepped out of the hotel gate, they both let out a long sigh of relief, "Oh, the task has been completed!" So they walked towards the car with easy steps.In an instant, the car merged into the traffic on West Chang'an Avenue...

On the afternoon of March 24, Yang Qiqing, vice minister of the Ministry of Public Security, was speaking at a meeting.Suddenly, his speech was interrupted by an emergency phone call: The Prime Minister’s Office notified that a liar named “Zhao Quanyi” forged Premier Zhou Enlai’s instructions and defrauded the head office of the People’s Bank of China 200,000 yuan in cash... The comrades in charge of the Central Committee ordered the Ministry of Public Security , Immediately organize forces and quickly solve the case! Just the day before, Deputy Director Wang of the Planning and Research Bureau of the People's Bank of China reported the case to the public security department with a heavy heart.They originally thought that after the huge sum of 200,000 yuan was delivered, the Prime Minister's Office would quickly explain how to enter the account.However, one day passed, two days passed... until the sixth day, there was still no reply from the Prime Minister's Office.They couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly called to inquire.The staff of the Prime Minister's Office were baffled, claiming they had no idea about the matter, and asked to send the "Prime Minister's Instruction" and the receipt for verification, only to find out that this was a huge fraud case of forging the Prime Minister's Instruction.

1960 was the first year of three years of natural disasters. 600 million people are starving, and it is in such an extraordinary period of extreme economic difficulties that scammers actually cheated 200,000 yuan of RMB with forged "Prime Minister's Instructions"! The Prime Minister was extremely furious when he heard the news, and ordered to solve the case within a time limit. The net of heaven and earth spread out quickly. Almost on the same day, all 7 million citizens of Beijing accepted the relevant communication from their superiors.Workers, students, farmers, and cadres are all over the city arguing for "200,000".The old lady went to the oil and salt shop to make vinegar, and she had to expose the banknotes to the sun. Is there anything suspicious? On the way to school, an elementary school student saw a man in a gray coat, and secretly followed him to delay school... The man in the gray coat dare not People who wear gray coats no longer dare to wear Chinese tunic suits.Anyone with similar physical characteristics to those in the notification will be out of luck this time, the police will not mention it, but the neighbors will poke their fingers behind their backs and treat them like acquaintances when they meet.A few were even more unlucky. They were treated as suspects and had to be investigated by the Public Security Bureau for thirteen times. Finally, the suspects were ruled out and apologies were accepted.

Suspicious clues were collected from all directions to the public security department, and after screening, analysis and verification, they were ruled out one by one.Although "Zhao Quanyi" has not been arrested yet, many old cases have been solved by the way. Hour by hour passed by... There has been no apparent breakthrough in the case.The investigators were all worried! In the vast sea of ​​people, where are the criminals? The technical department confirmed through the identification of the criminal evidence left by "Zhao Quanyi" - the forged prime minister's instructions, the withdrawal letter and the 200,000 cash receipt white note: the kraft paper envelope used by the criminal is an old State Council envelope, and the official document paper is The 15-line lined paper used by large organs, the forged small square seal of the "Prime Minister's Office" was engraved with wax paper and printed with red ink, and the envelope of the "State Council of the People's Republic of China" had the words "Chinese People's Inscription from the President of the Bank".The word "secret" on the envelope is different from other handwriting, and it has "#3146" written on it.Through instrumental inspection, it was found that there were also traces of alteration under the words "Prime Minister's Office" on the envelope, and there were some blurred calligraphy.The blank receipt issued by the criminal was signed "Zhao Jinyi" instead of "Zhao Quanyi". It is estimated that the criminal may be used to writing the word "Jin".Criminals have a high level of education and are familiar with the format and terminology of official documents. According to these circumstances, the investigators, after various investigations, learned that the paper used by the criminals to issue the "receipt" was torn from a black leather notebook.This kind of notebook was originally printed by Qianmenwai Hengchang Stationery Factory, but production has ceased since March 1952.After careful inspection, the letter paper used by the criminals has not been sold on the market, but is self-made by the agency.To this end, the task force came to the State Council Archives. In the archive room, dozens of people are working nervously. Section Chief Liu Wen looked carefully, because on the "receipt" left by the criminal, he was very interested in the word "￥", and today he wanted to find out its source from here.Therefore, he does not let go of every document easily, but he has searched through thousands of documents, but he has not found the word "￥". Then, they found out that the lined paper used by the Ministry of Foreign Trade to report to the leaders of the State Council was exactly the same as the letter paper used by criminals.Section Chief Liu Wen read the contents of the report carefully, but to his disappointment, there was no word "￥" in it. But the task force still came to the Ministry of Foreign Trade.Soon they found the envelope from the State Council, which was used by the State Council to send a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Trade... It just so happened that a female tram conductor came to the Ministry of Foreign Trade to report that she was on the tram this morning and found a suspicious person.This person's age and appearance were similar to those of the published criminals, and his mood was very abnormal. He dared not look at people while sitting in the car, and kept sighing.After the man got out of the car, she watched him walk into the Ministry of Foreign Trade... "The Ministry of Foreign Trade..." "The Ministry of Foreign Trade..." The telephone switchboard of the Ministry of Foreign Trade suddenly became busy, with calls from all directions, and each one became more and more nervous. In the Secretary Section of the General Office, the special case personnel quickly found a large amount of 15-line lined paper, which turned out to be one of the official document papers used by the Ministry of Foreign Trade in the past.Section Chief Liu Wen took several materials at random, and found several "￥" characters in a row.It turns out that this is a substitute symbol for the word "RMB" used by many people in the Ministry of Foreign Trade.It is certain that criminals are hiding in the Ministry of Foreign Trade. The clues to solve the case were narrowed down from thousands of clues to the Ministry of Foreign Trade.A small list was placed on the table. During everyone's analysis and discussion, the number of suspects quickly changed from ten to five, four, three, two, and finally, only one person's name remained— — Wang Zhuo. Dong Lin, who was in the same office as Wang Zhuo, definitely connected Wang Zhuo with "Zhao Quanyi" as soon as he opened his mouth. "I've suspected him for days!" "Why?" the investigator asked. "First, on the afternoon of the incident, Wang Zhuo asked for leave and did not go to work, saying that he took his mother to Jishuitan Hospital for medical treatment. After investigation, it was found that he and his mother had not been to the hospital. Second, I had a quarrel with Wang Zhuo a few days ago.At that time, several comrades in the office were chatting, talking about the recent big fraud case, and mentioned that the characteristic of criminals is that their eyes are small. I casually said, Lao Wang, your eyes are not big. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhuo stood up immediately and said angrily: You have framed a good person! And you want to drag me to find the leader.He had never lost his temper like this before.why? The third one is that Wang Zhuo often doesn't go to the cafeteria for lunch recently.Once he baked the meals he brought from home on the radiator.I asked him what you baked? Wang Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, his face turned pale, and he replied after a long time: I didn't think about anything.He misunderstood what he was baking as thinking about something, and he was very nervous..." Another female colleague of Wang Zhuo talked about something else.She said that in business, Wang Zhuo is very skilled.He is good at mathematics, has a quick brain reaction, and has never made any mistakes in statistics.But a few days ago, when filling out a very simple form, I suddenly made a mistake. At that time, Wang Zhuo threw the dipping pen on the table, slammed his head with his fist and said: "What's wrong, such a simple number is wrong...Damn it, really damn it!" "What number? What a fuss." She came to Wang Zhuo's desk and looked sideways. It turned out that the number of thousands was written as the number of tens of thousands, so she joked to Wang Zhuo: "How big is the discrepancy? It's just an extra drawing." '0'..." "With one more '0', a thousand becomes ten thousand, is it a trivial matter?" "What are you afraid of 'ten thousand'? It's not like you haven't calculated it, 10,000, 20,000... 100,000, 200,000..." "What? How dare you spout blood!" Wang Zhuo stared and questioned, the female colleague didn't know what was going on, and quickly explained: "I didn't tell you anything." "I didn't cheat 100,000 or 200,000... who said that?" The female colleague laughed, knowing that he misunderstood "count" as "cheating", so she repeated to him what she had just said: "I said you haven't counted?" In order to make Wang Zhuo hear clearly, she put " The word "count" is very long. "I'm really sorry, I get angry every spring, and my ears have problems..." Soon Wang Zhuo's handwriting was handed over to the Technical Appraisal Section.The appraisal conclusion was reached in less than two hours: Wang Zhuo's handwriting was exactly the same as that of the fraudster.Judging from the characteristics of the handwriting, the handwriting is very proficient. The structure, stroke collocation, direction of the brush, the method of connecting the strokes, and even some small details are the same as the handwriting on the forged letter.From the perspective of language features, the vocabulary is rich, the characters are concise, the punctuation is accurate, the date is written in the same position, and the numbering method is the same.The conclusion is that the handwriting on the forged letter and the sample sent for identification were done by one person. At this time, several comrades who made the portrait of "Zhao Quanyi" also rushed over. They took out the simulated portraits of criminals that had been revised several times, and spread them flat on the table. Compared with Wang Zhuo's photos, they looked like the same one. It looks like the negatives are washed out. In the small meeting room of the Ministry of Public Security, there was a cheerful atmosphere, and bursts of laughter came from the meeting room from time to time. Director Xing and Director Jin took the letter paper and handwriting identification, and reported to Yang Qiqing and others the process of checking the letter paper and the conclusion of the handwriting identification.After reviewing the letter paper and handwriting identification, several deputy ministers unanimously determined that the criminal who defrauded a huge sum of 200,000 yuan was this person——Wang Zhuo. Wang Zhuo, also known as Wang Liansheng, pen name Jin Wei, male, 36 years old, was born in Liaoyang County, Liaoning Province.At the time of the incident, he lived at No. 3 Li Guangqiao South Street, Beijing. Joined the Three Youth League in 1941, joined the Youth Gang in 1943, graduated from the Department of Economics of Northeastern University in 1948, and worked as a dispatcher and accountant in the Beiping Special Criminal Court Detention Center for more than a month. In April 1949, he signed up to study at the North China People's Revolutionary University. In August of the same year, he joined the army. In February 1950, he deserted from Shaanxi and fled back to Beijing. In 1951, he recommended himself to work in China Import and Export Corporation, and in September 1952, he worked in the Export Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.According to the investigation, Wang Zhuo once forged a letter of proof for his buddy, and gave the buddy a pseudonym "Zhao Quanyi".Later, this buddy came to Beijing to find him, and he went to the police station to register for this buddy's temporary household registration, using the same "Zhao Quanyi". For the sake of prudence, the task force decided not to arrest Wang Zhuo for the time being, to find out whether Wang Zhuo committed the crime alone or in a gang. Liu Hanchen, director of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Beijing Municipal Bureau, personally led more than a dozen investigators to Li Guangqiao South Street.They got in touch with Hao Jimin, a local film policeman, and asked him to find a reliable place to serve as a temporary headquarters. Hao Jimin led the investigators to the nearby guest house in the garrison area.He was familiar with Lao Zhang, the person in charge of the guest house in the past, and Hao Jimin said that he wanted to find a temporary place to stay.Lao Zhang immediately asked someone to vacate a large conference room, brought in tables, chairs, beds, and installed two telephones.The enthusiastic Lao Zhang also sent two waiters to serve tea and cigarettes to the investigators.An investigator installed and debugged the phone, so the temporary headquarters was ready for work. At this time, it was nearly dusk, Director Liu said: "Xiao Hao, this place is not bad, but I have to ask you to help choose a few places that can directly monitor Wang Zhuo's house, what do you think?" Hao Jimin took three investigators to select surveillance points.As soon as I arrived at Li Guangqiao Street, I saw Uncle Li staring at the people on the street suspiciously. When he saw Hao Jimin, he hurriedly stopped him: "Comrade Hao, it's not dark yet, it's not Sunday, and our place is not a park. Why are there couples who are dating here? I don’t think it’s normal.” Hao Jimin knew that they were investigators in makeup, so he said to Uncle Li: “It’s okay, you can go home and rest at ease! " Hao Jimin took the investigators to the grain store on Li Guangqiao East Street.The door of this grain store is facing Li Guangqiao South Street, and Wang Zhuo must pass through here to and from get off work, so the investigators chose the grain store as the monitoring point.Later, two households were found as monitoring points.Through three monitoring points, Wang Zhuo's family can have a panoramic view of everything in the courtyard.Investigators report news of suspects to the headquarters from time to time: 301 report: Subject No. 1 got up at 6:00 this morning and has been active at home. 302 report: At 7:05 this morning, a man and a woman came out of the courtyard and went eastward by bicycle.After checking the car number, the man was the No. 1 object. 303 report: Subject No. 1 and his wife went to the entrusted store on Gulou Avenue to sell blood pressure monitors and coats, but failed to sell them, and then went to the entrusted store in Donghuamen and failed to sell them. . 304 report: Subject No. 1 deposited 47 yuan in a savings bank at the place of residence, and returned to the place of residence at 19:20. After dawn, the investigators found that Wang Zhuo was burning things in the West Room, and then went to the garbage station at the entrance of the alley with the burned things. Director Liu Hanchen, who had been watching Wang Zhuo all the time, said, "Get it!" Immediately, an investigator dressed as a scavenger went out.After a while, I came back with some soot, paper ash and other rubbish.Director Liu ordered it to be sent for technical appraisal immediately.After testing by Liu Yunqi, chief of the appraisal section, there were remnants of renminbi in the garbage dumped by Wang Zhuo, and a large amount of ashes were left after the burning of renminbi. After dinner, Wang Zhuo came out of his mother's room and went back to his own room.Later, he unlocked and entered the unoccupied hut with curtains on the doors and windows, and turned on the lights. After a while, he came out of the cabin again, locked it, and went to the Westinghouse kitchen again. It was late at night, and Wang Zhuo, who was being watched in the courtyard, seemed to have a premonition that he had become a turtle in the urn, feeling like sitting on pins and needles.At this time, the phone of the temporary headquarters rang. Director Liu put down the phone after listening to it, and said to Director Min of the Municipal Bureau who came over: "Wang Zhuo's lover is sleeping in the office of the unit. After she fell asleep, she suddenly got up and turned on the light. I made a phone call and hung up angrily without saying a few words." "What's happening with Wang Zhuo?" Chief Min asked immediately.Liu Hanchen replied that the lights in Wang Zhuo's room were turned off, and the lights in the courtyard were also turned off, and nothing unusual was found. Director Liu asked Director Min with his eyes, and Director Min also stared at him.Director Liu said: "According to the evidence we have, it is no problem to catch Wang Zhuo." Director Min thought for a while and said decisively: "Operation Zero!" Everyone is eager to try.Director Liu called Hao Jimin over and asked, "Is there any partition in Wang Zhuo's room?" Before taking action, Director Liu had to estimate all possible situations. Hao Jimin is already familiar with this.He said: "The two houses are divided into inner and outer rooms by one wall, and Wang Zhuo sleeps in the inner room." Director Liu asked again, are the doors and windows of Wang Zhuo's room damp doors or glass doors?Hao Jimin said it was the damper. Hao Jimin knew that the time to act was coming soon, Director Liu and the others were not familiar with the place, so he should have more ideas.Thinking of this, he said: "During the heavy rain last summer, a section of the earth wall on the west wall of Wang Zhuo's courtyard gate collapsed, and it has not been repaired." "Oh." Director Liu ordered the monitoring point to verify, and quickly confirmed Hao Jimin's words.At this time, Chief Min, who had been silent all this time, stood up: "I think it's time to start at zero! Two plans: first, Comrade Xiaohao will lead the way, enter the courtyard from the collapsed wall, open the gate, and everyone will go in and arrest Wang Zhuo. Second, if the first plan is blocked, break the door and enter." Attention, you have to live. After capturing Wang Zhuo, immediately take him to the pre-trial office! Old Liu, do you think this will work?" Director Liu Hanchen nodded in agreement, and gave everyone a specific division of work.Chief Min looked at his watch and saw that the time for action was approaching, so he ordered the firing of the guns.Everyone received a pistol and five rounds of ammunition each. Zero o'clock.Director Min ordered: "Let's go!" Hao Jimin walked in the front and led the scouts straight to Wang Zhuo's home.Outside the broken wall, an investigator supported Hao Jimin from behind. He easily jumped into the yard, opened the door, and the investigators filed in. Hao Jimin took four investigators to the house where Wang Zhuo lived.One of the investigators dipped his fingers into the window paper, reached in and pulled the latch.Five people quietly entered the outer room, and rushed to the inner room together. Wang Zhuo, who was in the bed, was dragged out and put in a police car outside the door. "Search!" Director Liu Hanchen ordered. Everyone searched separately, and someone picked the lock on the door of the hut, and found a pile of rags, ropes, and disassembled bicycles from inside.Putting together the rags, it was the woolen jacket Wang Zhuo wore when he committed the crime.The bicycle and the rope were also used by him in the crime. Director Liu asked Hao Jimin to call Wang Zhuo's mother's room.Hao Jimin knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no movement in the room.Knock again, and the child in the room shouted: "Grandma, someone called the door!" Hao Jimin asked the child to turn on the light through the door. When the light was turned on, Hao Jimin saw Wang Zhuo's mother, Zhang Kemin, sitting on the bed in a quilt through the window, and did not move even though the door was called.Seeing this, Hao Jimin kicked the door open. Zhang Kemin didn't answer any questions, and just sat there motionless, which made Hao Jimin very angry.At this time, the sack containing the stolen money was also searched out, but the stolen money was missing. At dawn, the stolen money was still not found.Director Liu was not reconciled, and asked Hao Jimin to help him borrow tools such as shovels and pickaxes. He concluded that the stolen money must be buried in a corner of the yard. The yard was almost dug up, but there was no trace of the stolen money.Director Liu Hanchen came to the Westinghouse kitchen, looked at the ashes under the iron stove for a while, and said, "Move this stove away and dig!" A few shovels went down, and sure enough, several bundles of RMB were dug out.Dig again, no more.Obviously this is a very small part of the stolen money, and there should be a place to hide the rest of the large amount of stolen money. Director Liu carefully observed the half-person-high briquettes stacked on the south side of the West House.The top layer of briquettes was covered with a thick layer of dust, as if it had not been touched for a long time.Director Liu observed for a while, and then greeted a team leader: "The person who called you, carefully remove the briquettes, and don't destroy the original appearance." The briquettes were removed layer by layer, and many eyes were staring at this place, pinning their hopes here, because there was nowhere to dig in the yard except here. In Hao Jimin's words, the yard was dug up enough to grow sweet potatoes up. When the last layer of briquettes was removed, sharp-eyed investigators found fresh loess under the briquettes.Just as the investigators were about to move the shovel, Director Liu said, "Don't move! Take pictures first!" He asked Hao Jimin to find two residents who provided circumstantial evidence.Hao Jimin quickly called Liu Xiuhui, the director of the neighborhood committee, and Xiao Liu, the waiter at the guest house in the garrison area. After digging a few shovels, the tarpaulin was exposed under the loess, and when the tarpaulin was uncovered, bundles of RMB were wrapped inside.Everyone was excited and nervous.Several scouts pulled out the thatch cloth bundle.Director Liu said, bring Zhang Kemin to the pit!Zhang Kemin refused to come, so the female investigator brought her over.Zhang Kemin came to the edge of the pit, saw the money in the package dug out, looked at the big pit again, grinned in horror and cried: "Don't bury me in it!" Hao Jimin found two boxes, and the money in the thatch cloth bag was filled to the brim. Then the investigators found the steel plate of the forged approval document from the file cabinet in Wang Zhuo's office, and he destroyed all other crime tools. Facing the ironclad evidence, Wang Zhuo, who was taken to the pre-trial office, quickly confessed to the whole criminal process. Wang Zhuo's university was in the Kuomintang ruled area, and that was the time when a person pursued something. Wang Zhuo saw people doing business, starting an industry, becoming an official and making a fortune, and he hoped that one day he would have the same day as them and do great things , get a lot of money, make a fortune, and enjoy great blessings.In college, Wang Zhuo and his classmates started a magazine, thinking that it might be able to publish a magazine with a circulation of 100,000 to 200,000.Unexpectedly, when the magazine came out, no one bought it, and if it couldn't be released, the first issue became the final issue, and even the book was included. After the liberation of Beijing, Wang Zhuo gave the gold ring at home to his friend Wang Yuanze, and asked him to go to the northwest to sell the ring to buy silver dollars, and make money by dumping the silver dollars.Unexpectedly, this kid is also a half-baked guy, he didn't make any money, but he sold the gold ring as travel expenses.Later, Wang Zhuo said that he might as well do something for nothing, such as painting RMB and printing fake train tickets.Later, when he joined the work, Wang Zhuo felt that as a small clerk, he worked from dawn to dusk, earning the money to support these people was still tight, and the big cadres supported him for several months a month, taking the car, and the children went to school boarding school.There is a professor in this alley, a single house, that house is really magnificent!As soon as he walked to his door, Wang Zhuo's eyes became hot. A few years ago, the country promulgated regulations on rewarding scientific and technological inventions and creations. Wang Zhuo felt that the opportunity had come, so he chose a blockbuster—one of the three major technological problems in the world, and invented the "perpetual motion machine".He thought that if this thing is finished, he will be an inventor and be famous all over the world, and the national bonus and Nobel Prize will never escape.I bought materials and books, and spent all my spare time, which made Wang Zhuo dizzy and got hepatitis once.After four or five years of painstaking efforts, it was finally made.Unexpectedly, when the results were reported to the Academy of Sciences, they replied that the perpetual motion machine is impossible from theory to practice, and choosing this question is simply whimsical.There is no way for Wang Zhuo to be an official. When he discovers that his family doesn't admit it, simply, Wang Zhuo decided to come here and learn to cheat!After that, Wang Zhuo began to study deception, ancient, foreign, local swindlers, foreign swindlers, all used to study.When he was in the army, Wang Zhuo came back from a desertion. He forged the road pass and the letter of introduction. Wang Zhuo was in the unit and had the opportunity to see Premier Zhou's instructions.The prime minister's instructions are always carried out unconditionally, asking the prime minister to grant money to Wang Zhuo?That is impossible, cheating in the name of the prime minister will surely be able to go unimpeded. In February 1960, the director of Wang Zhuo once took a letter written on a piece of plain paper. On it were a few words written by a chief to the deputy minister. It's done.This time Wang Zhuo understands that the paper used for writing letters and writing is not specially made, okay, if you write, I, Wang Zhuo, will write.Wang Zhuo decided to write an instruction to ask the People's Bank to pay a huge sum of money. Since then, Wang Zhuo has been preparing.Once I went to the auditorium of the Ministry of Public Security to watch a movie, and saw the inscriptions of Chairman Mao, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De and Premier Zhou hanging on both sides of the stage. Wang Zhuo found a piece of paper and laid it on his knees, and copied Premier Zhou’s inscription with a pen. .When I got home, I used a brush to practice on the newspaper every night.Once you have practiced enough to be able to confuse the real with the fake one, and practice forging the official seal, and practice the image of the official seal, you will start to further defraud.He bought carving knives and writing brushes at the small department store at the back gate of Beihai; he bought wax paper, carving pens and inkpads at Wangfujing.The engraved steel plate is not bought, but borrowed from the street.I found the envelope from the Ministry. It was originally a letter from the State Council. The inscription was "State Council of the People's Republic of China".Official document paper is easy to handle, the Ministry of Foreign Trade has it, and you can take it with you whenever you need it. On the nights of March 14th and 15th, Wang Zhuo was practicing writing fake instructions and letters of introduction, while conceiving specific action goals and action plans. On the 16th, it was Wednesday, and in the evening, Wang Zhuo decided the time of action.Why is Friday afternoon, March 18 determined?Not on Thursday, because this evening is the study time of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, otherwise, others will be suspicious.It’s also not possible on Saturdays. This afternoon is also the study time for many units. It is very special to go to the bank to withdraw money at this time. If the bank fails to pay in time, it may be exposed after a long time.So you can only choose Friday. On the first day, on the night and night of March 17, Wang Zhuo started to formally make official letters and letters of introduction.According to the usual practice, Wang Zhuo first wrote the request for funding on the official paper with a pen, and then imitated Premier Zhou's tone and imitated Premier Zhou's font with a brush to write the Premier's instructions on the margin.On the envelope, write the words "expedited, time-limited".This is used when negotiating withdrawals.When withdrawing money, a letter of introduction must be used. The letter of introduction is written on a piece of white paper with a pen. The "Prime Minister's Office Introduction Special" seal was made into a square shape according to the style Wang Zhuo had seen in advance. It was first engraved on wax paper, and then painted with red oil on the wax paper. Wang Zhuo wrote this appropriation is the meaning of Chairman Mao, to show that there is a background, who dares to doubt?Who dares not to follow?He wrote that the appropriation was for repairing the temple, and he asked to show it at the Tibetan Living Buddha Lecture at 9:00 p.m. that night. This is in line with the news reported by the current newspapers and broadcasts, and it is also in line with the policy at that time. The Tibetan rebellion was quelled in 1959, and the news about Tibet, especially the activities of the Living Buddha in Tibet, is currently the most attractive thing in China. In this way, the reason for sending cash at 7 pm is sufficient, and the People's Bank of China will definitely believe it. Why do you have to write 150,000 to 200,000 yuan for the amount of appropriation?Because there is less money, there is no need for the Prime Minister to approve it, and there is no need to alert Chairman Mao.Two amounts are proposed, because it is customary to propose two or more proposals when the lower level of the state agency asks for such suggestions to the higher level for the higher level to weigh and decide.Why is it written that Chinese and foreign journalists participated in the shooting of the film?That is to find a good reason for the old tickets and better bundles requested in the footnote.The new ticket has a number, and maybe the numbers are still lined up next to each other. This kind of ticket cannot be spent, and it will be found out as soon as it is spent.The bundle is firm and neat to facilitate packaging and transportation.At the end, it was written "Must be sent to Minzu Hotel Zhao Quanyi (Tibet Working Committee Religious Office) at 7 o'clock" for consideration. 7 o'clock is shortly after work at the unit, and people from the People's Bank are in a hurry to get off work. At this time, they must be careless and negligent. , sent to the Minzu Hotel, because the State Ethnic Affairs Commission is behind the Minzu Hotel, and it is logical for people from the Tibet Working Committee to live in the Minzu Hotel when they come to Beijing for business.Wang Zhuo has been to Minzu Hotel, and this type of big hotel has a common feature, as long as you dress well, like a big cadre or a cadre of a big organization, no matter where you are, you can go freely.The origin of the name of the unit, to be honest, Wang Zhuo did not investigate and understand it carefully; since the suppression of the Tibetan rebellion in 1959, the term Tibet Working Committee has been used in radio and newspapers.The religious office was inferred from the Religious Affairs Bureau of the State Council, not to mention that Wang Zhuo passed by the Religious Affairs Bureau of the State Council every day to and from get off work. Wang Zhuo thought that the action plan was very thorough, so he was confident in doing it, but he ignored the name Zhao Quanyi.Because he was nervous when forging letters, Wang Zhuo couldn't help using the pseudonym he had given to his friends. On the afternoon of March 18th, Wang Zhuo went to work for a while, and estimated that the time would be almost there. Looking at his watch, it was 3:30.Wang Zhuo found the director and said that his mother's body is not very suitable for the past two days. The wife went to the hospital.Speaking of this, how can the director not agree?At four o'clock in the evening, Wang Zhuo left the unit by bicycle and arrived home at about 4:10.After passing the small kitchen, the old lady was cooking, and Wang Zhuo didn't disturb her.Put the bicycle under the window and enter the house.Being well-dressed and well-groomed in a big hotel is a passport to go to a big institution and enter a big hotel.Wang Zhuo changed into a navy blue gabardine tunic suit, black woolen trousers, polished the leather shoes again, and put on a gray herringbone overcoat.He used a purple leather exercise book prepared in advance as a text for sending and receiving, and put the official letters and letters of introduction he made into a large kraft paper envelope, anyway, such large envelopes are available in state agencies.Before leaving, I remembered that there are so many bills and I need to prepare a rope, so I pulled out a rope and stuffed it into the handbag.Probably because he has never seen too many bills, Wang Zhuo only prepared a handbag to hold the money.Just like that, he got on his bicycle and left the house.The old lady asked her son why he came back so early, and Wang Zhuo said that he had something to do today.Later, when she was leaving, she asked Wang Zhuo why she went out again. Wang Zhuo said that something happened, so don't worry. At 5:30, Wang Zhuo came to Xijiaomin Lane by bicycle. After waiting for 10 minutes, Wang Zhuo walked into the eastern gate of the People's Bank of China.The guard asked what he was doing, and Wang Zhuo said it was from the State Council, sending an urgent message.The guard asked Wang Zhuo to go to the reception room.Wang Zhuo asked where the reception room was, and the guard pointed it out, it was in the southeast corner of the yard.When I went in, I saw that the walls of the house were light blue. A messenger in his 40s asked what Wang Zhuo did. When he learned of Wang Zhuo's intentions, he pointed out where Wang Zhuo received the documents.Wang Zhuo went out to the west again, and walked into the west gate, only to realize that this is the office of the head office, and the east is open for business.The guard asked Wang Zhuo about the origin and let Wang Zhuo enter the gate to the reception room.There was a middle-aged man in the reception room, and he asked Wang Zhuo to go inside to find the secretary's room.When he arrived at the secretary's room, seeing the dim light here, Wang Zhuo secretly rejoiced: the more you can't see clearly, the easier it is to fool you.Wang Zhuo handed in the large envelope containing the fake official letter, and deliberately put the inscription "State Council of the People's Republic of China" printed on the envelope in front of the young dispatcher.Seeing that the sender received the document and signed his own document, Wang Zhuo left the head office of the People's Bank of China. Leaving Xijiaomin Lane, Wang Zhuo rode to the National Cultural Palace again.I stored my bicycle in front of the auditorium of the National Cultural Palace, and walked to the National Hotel with my bag.As he walked up, he counted the steps silently, in order to relieve his nervousness: when he took this step, would he be greeted with bundles of banknotes, or policemen with guns in handcuffs?All this, Wang Zhuo had no time to think about it.The restaurant has three doors in a row, and the lights are not very bright. There is a male waiter in his 40s standing at the door of the revolving door in the middle.Wang Zhuo said in his heart that he didn't know if this kid could read the documents.At this time, a group of people came out of the door, Wang Zhuo slowed down a little, and some people behind him followed, so Wang Zhuo just walked in among the group of people.Wang Zhuo deliberately turned his head sideways, as if caring for each other with them. This was deliberately acted out for the waiters, making him mistakenly believe that Wang Zhuo was with this group of people.When passing by the waiter, Wang Zhuo didn't look straight at him, but frowned intentionally, expressing his dissatisfaction with too many people coming in and out of the turnstile, as if he was a senior cadre and not used to such crowded places.In this way, Wang Zhuo easily entered the Minzu Hotel.It was around 6:20 at this time. Entering the door is the front hall, and there is a clothes storage place on the right side. Wang Zhuo took off his coat and stored it in the clothes storage place.A chubby baby-faced girl took the coat, handed Wang Zhuo a plastic pick-up card, and said in a pleasant voice: "Take it well." Wang Zhuo didn't say thank you, as casual as a senior cadre He snorted and walked to the big sofa in the front hall to sit down.I looked around and got acquainted with the venue, then got up and went to the general service desk and called the People's Bank of China in the tone of the Prime Minister's Office.After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhuo's heart finally fell to the ground - the other party's tone was humble and affirmative, and there was no doubt or ambush at all.It seems that waiting for Wang Zhuo is the ticket rather than the police.After sitting for a while, Wang Zhuo called the Xidan and Xisi taxi stations to ask for a taxi. He planned to collect the money and use a car to transport it back. Both places said that the car was busy and could not be dispatched. Wang Zhuo asked when the car would be available. The answer is that I don't know.While sitting on the sofa, Wang Zhuo stared at everyone who entered the door with the tip of his eyes.If someone came to deliver the money, he would go to receive the money. If the police came, Wang Zhuo decided to go upstairs first, and then find an opportunity to sneak through the side door.Later, Wang Zhuo simply closed his eyes and rested his mind, regardless of whether the police are police or not!The winner is the prince and the loser is the thief, and the prince and the thief let him go.Just wait until 7 o'clock. At 7:00, two people entered through the revolving door. One was a man in his 30s, and the other was a young woman. They both looked like cadres. They went to the main service desk and asked the waiter about "Tibet Working Committee Zhao Quanyi".Wang Zhuo looked behind them and outside the door. It seemed that they were not ensnared. Wang Zhuo said in his heart, two, you are really serious and responsible comrades.Seeing that there is no problem, Wang Zhuo pulled his clothes and went forward and said, "Are you two comrades looking for Comrade Zhao Quanyi from Tibet?" The man asked, "Which unit are you from?" Wang Zhuo said, "I am Zhao Quanyi." Quanyi, are you from the head office of the People’s Bank of China? Did you bring the money?” Wang Zhuo said as he took out a letter of introduction stamped with the seal of “Specially for Introduction to the Prime Minister’s Office”. After reading it, they brought in two sacks, Said: "It's all here." Wang Zhuo gave them another receipt, shook hands with them, and said: "Thank you for your hard work!" After they left, Wang Zhuo dragged the sack to the west side door, good guy, it was so dead, if it was anything else, it would definitely not be able to drag it, but it was all money!The two sacks were dragged over in just one drag!I went to the clothes store and found the baby-faced girl to get the coat, covered the two sacks with the coat, and then called the taxi stand to ask for a car, but there was still nothing.Wang Zhuo asked how long he had to wait, and the other party replied, "I can't tell, you can wait as long as you like." Wang Zhuo said that I belonged to the State Council, and the other party replied: "You belong to the State Council, and the State Council has plenty of cars. Come with us. What's the mess?" Wang Zhuo became anxious, fearing that such a back and forth would make people suspicious, so he went to the post booth in the front hall and bought a copy of "Beijing Evening News".There is a young woman in the post booth, tall, Wang Zhuo said, "Please take care of it, here are all important documents." The woman said: "No problem, don't worry." Wang Zhuo Zhuo walked out of the Minzu Hotel and went to the street to look for Sanluner.After looking around, I finally found one. The kid saw that Wang Zhuo was in a hurry, and he paid three yuan for a mouthful.Wang Zhuo suddenly realized: You can't ask for a car!You can't have a tricycle, and you can't have a car.By pulling the sack like this, it is equivalent to telling them their whereabouts, so that the public security bureau can solve the case in the future so that they can expose it.So Wang Zhuo went to the auditorium of the Minzu Palace to pick up his bicycle, rode it over and put it under the east steps of the Minzu Hotel.When I entered the hall, the woman in the post booth said to Wang Zhuo: "Are you back? Here are the documents." The two sacks were kept intact.Wang Zhuo first moved the smaller one out of the east side door, and then moved the bigger one. When he moved to the door, a waiter in his 40s helped Wang Zhuo and opened the door for Wang Zhuo.Wang Zhuo tied the two sacks to each other with the rope he brought, and put them on the car seat.At this time, the rush hour for getting off work had passed, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Wang Zhuo pushed the cart past the Xidan Theater, entered Xidan North Street, turned east at Xisi, passed the gate of the State Council Religious Affairs Bureau, and then went straight to Houhai Liguangqiao Hutong took a total of 1 hour and 40 minutes on the road. After arriving home, Wang Zhuo put his bicycle at the foot of the window and went to his mother's room to drink water. His mother asked where Wang Zhuo had gone. Zhuo quietly moved the two sacks to the north room and the west room, and put most of the tickets into his black iron box. There were still a dozen or so bundles left. Wang Zhuo put them on the bunk and wrapped them in furoshiki.At this time, Wang Zhuo's mother came in. Wang Zhuo said, Mom, you haven't slept yet?She asked Wang Zhuo: "What are you messing with in the middle of the night?" Wang Zhuo said: "Mom, I will borrow some money for you."Wang Zhuo said less.How much did she say to borrow?Wang Zhuo also said less.She said: "How much more can you borrow?" Wang Zhuo said. "Tens of thousands? More than tens of thousands." Wang Zhuo's mother became anxious when she heard it. She said that her hair exploded when she heard it, and said, "Are you poor and crazy?" Is it? Wang Zhuo does things alone. You don’t care how the money comes from, anyway, you don’t need to be poor with me anymore, it’s time to live a few days of peace of mind.” However, the actual situation was not like this. After that, not only did Wang Zhuo not relax at all, but he was frightened all day long.Wang Zhuo burned two sacks, tools for making official letters and seals, ropes, and gray herringbone coats cut into strips... On March 23, Wang Zhuo entered the house after work , The mother said: "Today someone came to check the sanitation, looking around." Wang Zhuo was surprised, and asked quickly: "The person who checks the sanitation, have you seen it in the past?" Wang Zhuo's mother said: "Some people see But, I haven’t seen some of them.” Wang Zhuo said: “It’s broken, it must have been played by the Public Security Bureau.” On March 26, Wang Zhuo’s work unit also sent out the notification, asking everyone to report it.That day, Wang Zhuo’s cornbread was baked on the radiator, and it gave off a smell. A colleague in the class was from Shandong, and he spoke a Shandong dialect. What?" Wang Zhuo was startled, and hurriedly replied: "No, I didn't think about anything." Everyone laughed for a while. The authorities were anti-rightist and all wrote big-character posters, but Wang Zhuo dared not write them for fear of recognizing the handwriting.A colleague asked Wang Zhuo: "Old Wang, why don't you write big-character posters? What are you afraid of?" Wang Zhuo broke out in a sweat with a frightened sentence.It took Wang Zhuo a lot of thought to write the characters crookedly. At this time, the more Wang Zhuo thought about it, the more bad food he wanted. To be on the safe side, Wang Zhuo hid the money in the West Cabin, and took out part of it to hide in his own room.After thinking about it, I can't hide it, so let's burn it, burn it in the stove.Wang Zhuo took out 100 yuan to his mother: "Mom, you can live with this money, and what may happen in the future, I can't be filial to your old man." Wang Zhuo's mother cried when she heard this. Seeing the sad look of the old man, Wang Zhuo also cried. The old man did not dare to spend 100 yuan. On the 27th and 28th, Wang Zhuo spent two nights in a row in the yard burning coal pellets and burning tickets.The small briquette stove is only so big in total, how many briquettes can it burn in one night?After burning for two days, about 2,000 yuan was burned.Wang Zhuo said: "Mom, I go to work during the day, you plug in the door and continue to burn." Wang Zhuo's mother sighed and continued to burn. On the 29th and 30th, Wang Zhuo dug a hole on the ground of the West Lodge to bury the money, seeing that the burning was too slow. On July 28, 1960, Wang Zhuo was sentenced to death.As for Wang Zhuo's mother who committed the crime of concealing stolen goods, some people estimated that she should be severely punished. Premier Zhou expressed his opinion on this: it is better not to give a heavy sentence. If there are some old-fashioned Chinese women who ignore their sons, they can be imprisoned.So she was released early after serving three years in prison, and went straight back to her hometown in Northeast China. Wang Zhuo's wife is a very assertive woman who has been away from her husband for a long time. It can be said that she had no feelings for Wang Zhuo before the incident.As for Wang Zhuo's shocking case, whether it is related to the relationship between their husband and wife is unknown.She later recalled that after Wang Zhuo committed the crime, her unit also conveyed the facts of the case. When she came home from get off work, her mother-in-law said let's eat dumplings.Wang Zhuo and his mother were only focused on making dumplings, and no one spoke to them.Wang Zhuo didn't eat a single dumpling, but only drank a few bowls of dumpling soup.Two years after Wang Zhuo was executed, she remarried and still lived in that courtyard until the house was demolished in 1993.
