Chapter 148 Chestnut in the Fire Section 3 Mrs. Daguan
After Ma Kedi and Yang Bangzi broke up with each other, they also said to each other that they would have the opportunity to learn wrestling skills in the future, but unfortunately there was no such opportunity.
Let's talk in advance about the fate of the people involved in the assassination of the emperor's envoy.
At that time, in addition to the two policemen who witnessed the assassination, there were also helpers and others nearby who witnessed the case, but the description of Ma Kedi and the other two had little similarities except for the same clothing (maybe they were stunned), and it was even said that Ma Kedi, who was born in martial arts, was "obviously an intellectual", and the recent German Far Eastern Mission Society simply refused to be searched by the Japanese army.
After the assassination of the emperor's envoy, although Ma and Qiu both "showed their faces" at the scene, and the North China Front Army Headquarters in Beiping also made every effort to urge the cracking of the case under the horror, the Japanese puppet did not know the essentials of solving the case, because there was insufficient eyewitness information, and the image of the "murderer" in the limited report was also very different.
Soon, there was an incident in which the Japanese army closed the city in Beiping to catch "hemp seeds", and it is said that Ma Ke was a hemp seed, and he was witnessed when he assassinated the Japanese envoy, so the Japanese army was all over the city to "catch hemp seeds". In fact, we said that Ma Kedi is not a pockmark, but a white and pure offspring.
"Catching marijuana" was because Ma's deputy, Qiu Guofeng, said that he had revealed his mouth and inadvertently misled the Japanese puppet detective organs. The Japanese army's blockade of the gates of Beiping to "catch marijuana" was caused by an inadvertent leak of secrets by Qiu Guofeng, an agent of the military command who participated in the assassination operation.
It turned out that Ma was the enemy, although brave and good marksmanship. But there is a shortcoming, that is, the desire to make meritorious contributions. Not calm enough. After the assassination of two envoys of the Emperor of Japan. Obviously, the Japanese puppet authorities are bound to carry out a large-scale raid, and at this time it is more rational to leave the dangerous place quickly. After the case was cracked, Hou Huajun, the leader of the second intelligence group of the Beiping Station, quickly went out of the city through the connections in the puppet army and was not captured, becoming one of the few survivors.
Ma Kedi was praised by the headquarters of the Military Unification Bureau for his merits, and after returning to Beiping, he did not take refuge for a while, but insisted on staying in the city of Beiping (living in his brother's house in Houhai, Beihai), and was encouraged by this victory, and he joined forces with Qiu Guofeng. Tried to assassinate the big traitor, the Japanese puppet North China Reserve Bank President Wang Shijing, but failed because Wang was heavily guarded.
There are very few 007-style characters in history who are in the limelight repeatedly, because the cruelty of the real intelligence working environment behind enemy lines, the hardships of the struggle are completely different from novels and movies, and an agent is not allowed to show his skills many times, which will almost certainly bring him a catastrophe, even if it is a legendary figure like Sorge, just because the intelligence is delivered in a hurry. None of them escaped the fate of being captured and killed. The romance of the so-called secret service is purely a Hollywood dream.
Ma Qiu's assassination of Wang Shijing was done by crossing the wall. As a result, when climbing over the second courtyard wall, Wang's guards discovered that there was a shootout between the two sides, and the two saw that they could not succeed, so they quickly evacuated. Qiu jumped out of the hospital first because of his light skills, and at that time, he didn't see Ma Ke the enemy for a while, and shouted "Lao Ma" in a hurry, which was heard by Wang's subordinates.
According to the clues provided by Wang's subordinates, the Japanese army believed that the perpetrator was a pockmarker, and in this way, a wave of "catching pockmarks" was triggered on the streets. In fact, Ma Kedi is a native of Majia'an in Zunhua, and most of the locals have the surname Ma, but it has nothing to do with Mazi.
As mentioned earlier, the Japanese side was quite blind to the investigation of the case at first, so how was the case finally solved?
The first problem is that Liu Wenxiu, the stationmaster of Beiping Station, is too paralyzed, and the second is because there are traitors who are acting for the tiger.
When he had just completed the task, Liu Wenxiu was still very cautious after returning to Beiping, he lived in seclusion, and strictly ordered his subordinates to keep a low profile and wait in hiding. However, it wasn't long before something happened that made him let his guard down.
At this time, there was a big thief Ma Yuankai who was caught robbing at gunpoint in the alley of the Terracotta Division, Ma was unwilling to die here, and simply called himself the killer who assassinated the two envoys for the sake of the hero, and the Japanese army put great pressure on the spy headquarters in Beiping, and Maochuan Dazuo was at a loss for this, and the two sides naturally hit it off.
So they jointly "produced" a set of rather "true" confessions and handed them over to the Japanese authorities. Let's just say that it was the Jiangyang thief who was bought by the military commander and asked him to lead his subordinates to do the case. It is said that Okamura Ninji had also accepted this approval, so all newspapers in Peiping published the news under the title "Sniping at the Japanese Army and Cracking the School Case." In this way, Liu Wenxiu relaxed his vigilance and began to resume his activities, but unexpectedly, someone was searching for him everywhere.
After Ma Yuankai admitted to committing the crime, although the Japanese military high-level had recognized that the head of the Japanese North China secret service, Mogawa Daisa, had given false testimony, he himself did not believe it, believing that Ma's confession had many flaws, and the real assassin's modus operandi was very similar to the activities of the military commanders, so he sent Pei Jiesan under him to continue the investigation.
Pei Sui commanded the spies to pull a net in Beiping to search for the military commander's agents. At this time, Liu Wenxiu went out in public at an inopportune time, and was recognized and captured by Pei on the tram. Liu could not bear the torture and defected, through him captured the traffic Ren Guolun (Hubei, graduated from the special police class), Ren also immediately defected, the military command agents who participated in the operation were arrested one after another, including the North China District Governor Bo Youling, the first action group of Ma Ke Qiu Guofeng, the second action group leader Zhou Liangfu, the first intelligence group leader Zhang Qingjiang, team members Zhang Chengfu, Jin Lang, Liu Xinyi, etc., most of the military commander's personnel in Beiping were arrested!
The arrested people were imprisoned in the "Detention Center for Sending Prisoners", commonly known as the Artillery Bureau Prison, and were brutally tortured by the Japanese army, and finally Bo Youling, Ma Kedi, Qiu Guofeng, and Zhang Qingjiang were sentenced to death, and they were shot to death at the Tianqiao Execution Ground. In prison, Bo Youling and others did not give in, and Bo used the short time of the same trial to contact the arrested people to communicate the situation of the road they knew, so that "someone survived to report to Lu Shang".
The above situation is the memoir provided by Hou Huajun (who was the inspector of Hebei of the military command, the chief of the inspection department of the Baoding Garrison Command, and a major general) who was lucky to get out of danger that year. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the files of the Japanese pseudo-interrogation of the arrested people also provided a lot of references.
On the military side, in Chongqing, Ma defeated the enemy, and Bo Youling and others were enshrined in the name of martyrs.
When the Japanese surrendered in 1945, Pei fled to the northeast in fear of crime, and no one knew what happened to him.
There is also a later story here, saying that this is a certain alley in Beiping, there is a very good yard, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, a very rustic wife moved in, usually living in a simple house, and the neighbors rarely see her face, and all the affairs are taken care of by the next person.
The most mysterious thing for the neighbors is that this courtyard often comes to some characters who wear Mao suits and look like government officials of the Republic of China, and they all come with gifts, and every time they don't see the hostess to usher in them.
Some people guess that this must be the outer house of the big official, which is the current second wife or something. But some people say no, how can such a rustic person be the second wife, there are so many beautiful women on the street, who doesn't have to take care of a country woman?
On the eve of the peaceful liberation of Beiping, several cars came and took this rustic woman away, and the courtyard was empty.
It wasn't until many years later that I learned that the woman who fled to Taiwan was not the wife of a Kuomintang official, but actually a country woman. Her husband's name is Ma Kedi, who was the agent of the military command operation who caused the assassination of the emperor's envoy during the Anti-Japanese War that shocked the whole country.
A few months after this operation, Ma was unfortunately arrested and killed by the Japanese army. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Ma Hansan, as the person in charge of the military command in Beiping, took Ma's widow from Hebei to Beiping and raised her. On the eve of the change of hands in Beiping, Ma's comrades-in-arms Zhou Liangfu (who served as the head of the first intelligence group of Beiping Station and the leader of the first group of Ma Wei's operation during the Anti-Japanese War), Hou Huajun and others were worried that their widow would have an accident in the war, so they sent her to Taiwan to live. The people in the neighborhood didn't know the inside story, and they always thought that she was the owner of this house, so the legend of the wife of the so-called Kuomintang official was born.
Not to mention that there are also people in the Kuomintang who remember the old and talk about human feelings, Ma Kedi sacrificed his life for the country, his widow was still raised by his former colleagues, and he was escorted out of the country during the war, which is very commendable, even today, how many people can remember their friends in the past when they were in trouble?
