Brother Wen paused for a moment when he said this. I was very nervous, thinking that he was going to show off or take the opportunity to make some demands, but he seemed to just light a cigarette and then continued talking down.
The appalling thing Li Fusheng did may not seem to be a particularly big deal if we look at it today, but in the circumstances at that time, it was indeed very shocking. At that time, people below were everywhere
There was news that they were about to withdraw. Once some of the conscripts of the engineering force left Xihaihe, it meant they would be discharged from the army. So at this juncture, everyone was very excited. Some wanted to find ways to get awards, and some wanted to join the party before being discharged.
Later, the rumors seemed to be confirmed. As expected, most of the construction work on the main project had stopped. Only some key departments and areas were still in operation. The power units were half stopped. The task of Brother Wen and his maintenance team was much lighter.
At this time, an expert team settled inside the project. The project headquarters already had an expert team. This time, several old experts were temporarily transferred from other places to form a new camp. During the past construction period, the expert team
Members rarely go to the main project in person. This time the situation is abnormal. Some experts are very old, but they still work tirelessly to get into the interior of the project. These things are too far away from the soldiers below, and they do not know that the expert team is there.
No matter what, there is no chance to get close.
I know about these situations and have heard about them in the past. Before the Xihai River Project was stopped, there was a summary excavation and exploration. That excavation was the end of the entire project. And I was very impressed by this.
Because Brother Wen and the bad-faced Liu Yishan both mentioned to me that it was at this critical moment that my dad secretly killed an old expert from the expert team and obtained some data.
After Li Fusheng was transferred to the maintenance team, he seemed to have nothing to do with my father. He hardly spoke when we met, and Brother Wen didn't pay special attention to it. It was only after this incident that Brother Wen realized that the relationship between Li Fusheng and my father
, it should be acting, they don’t really have any relationship, they just don’t interact in front of outsiders.
"What basis do you have?"
"Don't be impatient yet." Brother Wen said, "After listening to what Li Fusheng did, you will know why I said this."
After the workload of the maintenance team is reduced, except for those responsible for the task, the rest can move around near the dormitory. There is a large newspaper room in the dormitory area under the Xihai River. There is too little entertainment activities. The newspaper room is for soldiers.
A place where they often go. Brother Wen remembers this very clearly. That day, he, Li Fusheng and several other people had no mission, so they ran there. After about half an hour, Brother Wen read a few pages of the book and hit upon something.
He looked up and found that Li Fusheng was missing, but he didn't notice it at the time, thinking that Li Fusheng had left early.
Li Fusheng did leave early. On the same day, the engineering headquarters temporarily called an emergency assembly. Brother Wen and the others were surprised because after the engineering troops started construction on the Xihai River, this kind of emergency assembly for field troops, which was often used as a training subject, did not appear.
However, Brother Wen realized that something might have happened.[
That time, everyone except those who were performing the mission gathered together and stayed in front of their respective dormitories. Then, people from the garrison camp came over to conduct an examination, which made people panic. After the gathering, Brother Wen discovered that Li Fusheng was still
When he didn't show up, he felt that this person was too brave. He didn't rush back even after hearing the emergency gathering. After the inspection, the team was ordered to stay in the dormitory and not allowed to move around at will. Brother Wen and the others had no idea what was going on.
After the maintenance team leader was asked to leave the meeting, the people below started talking quietly and guessing what was going on.
At that time, Brother Wen was particularly flustered because he, my father, and a few other people would often do things that violated disciplines. Any action from above would make them feel guilty and afraid of being punished.
"I looked at Zheng Lifu. He didn't say a word and kept smoking with his head down."
Not long after, the captain of the maintenance team came back. His face was very ugly. He lost his temper without any warning and threw the drinking glass. Next, Brother Wen became even more panicked because other areas
They were all released from detention, and only their maintenance team was put under intensive supervision.
The Engineering Command specially sent down a working group, led by a colonel in charge of security work, and called people from the maintenance team one by one to talk, especially those in Li Fusheng's dormitory, who were interrogated very carefully. The working group did not
He didn't directly explain what he wanted to ask about, but Brother Wen could tell that it must be something related to Li Fusheng.
About three days later, after everyone in the maintenance team had a talk, the working group left. After a few more days, nothing happened again, and Brother Wen's high-spirited heart gradually let go. After he was freed, he
While working, I slowly learned the inside story of this incident.
Li Fusheng killed an expert from the expert team.
It happened after Li Fusheng left the newspaper room. There was a very simple bathhouse in the living area inside the project. But in this bathhouse, the soldiers below could only take a bath once a month. The bathhouse was usually closed, and only
The experts of the expert group and some senior cadres could take a bath at any time. Li Fusheng ran to the bathhouse in the living area and killed an expert in his sixties.
However, when Li Fusheng was doing these things, he was discovered by patrolmen from the garrison. He resisted arrest and ran away, and was shot dead on the spot.
"You know, it's not that there was no contact between Li Fusheng and Zheng Lifu. They secretly planned to get some information back from the expert group." Brother Wen said slowly: "It's just that this time, Li Fusheng is obviously
He acted on his own without consulting Zheng Lifu, otherwise Zheng Lifu would never do such an uncertain thing given his character."
I think Li Fusheng may be really reckless. He probably knew that the team would evacuate Xihaihe River soon. If there is no chance again, it will be difficult to contact those experts in the future.
However, although Li Fusheng was reckless, he was more thoughtful when committing the crime and took away a watch that the old expert carried. It was this small move that saved my dad from being held accountable too much afterwards. The people in the working group at that time
After investigation, it was found that Li Fusheng's motive for committing the crime could not be found, and the case was finally closed with the robbery of property.
The occurrence of this incident made Brother Wen and others conduct ideological and political education many times before leaving Xihaihe. In the above words, the expert is a person who has contributed to the country, and Li Fusheng is a party and party leader.
It is heinous for soldiers educated by the army to commit such crimes.
"Do these things mean that this person is weird?" I asked Brother Wen. In fact, I certainly knew how weird Li Fusheng was, but I just wanted to ask more questions.
"Listen to me."[
Shortly after this incident, the team evacuated Xihaihe, and Brother Wen retired from the army. However, at that time, he was estranged from my father for some reasons, so he did not continue to work with my father and returned to his hometown in Anhui. He
My family found some connections and arranged for me to go to the local police station.
Not long after Brother Wen arrived at the police station, a case broke out in the local area, which had a very bad impact. He was one of the first batch of overseas Chinese entrepreneurs to return from abroad after the end of the Cultural Revolution. He was killed in his own home. After investigating the scene, the police initially determined that it was a burglary.
The murderer, this overseas Chinese is a lover of cultural relics and has some collections at home. However, the murderer was very strange. He only took away two cultural relics and left the cash and other valuables at home untouched.
This case was supervised by the Provincial Public Security Department, and all the police stations were crazy busy at the time. They simulated the portrait of the criminal suspect based on some of the witnesses' oral statements. Brother Wen was a little surprised when he saw the portrait, because the portrait resembled Li Fusheng
The appearance was somewhat similar. But he didn't think much about it, Li Fusheng had been shot to death in the Xihai River.
In the middle of the night one day, the office received an emergency notification. It was said that traces of a criminal suspect had been found in their jurisdiction. The communication facilities at that time were not very developed. When Brother Wen received the notification and rushed over, the person had already been caught.
He was not sent to the police station, but was taken directly to the city bureau. Brother Wen did not personally participate in the arrest, but he saw the suspect being escorted into the car.
"I'm not mistaken, that person is definitely Li Fusheng."
Brother Wen was completely thrown into chaos. He thought he was not wrong, but how could Li Fusheng, who had been shot dead in Xihai River, come to Anhui? Brother Wen gave himself a hundred reasons, but none of them could explain it.
It makes sense.
For this reason, he was very concerned about the progress of the interrogation related to the case, but the day after the suspect was brought to the city bureau, it was said that he died. Once the person died, all clues were interrupted, and Brother Wen couldn't find out even if he wanted to.
.This matter has been stuck in his heart since then.
"This is not the first time I feel shocked." Brother Wen paused and said, "After that, I left the police station and started doing my own thing. I got the videotape you saw."
When Brother Wen saw the videotape about my dad's contact with the Soviets for the first time, the mystery that had been buried in his memory and had never been revealed resurfaced. He could see that he followed my dad to meet the Soviets.
The human being is Li Fusheng. At that time, Brother Wen couldn't figure it out, and even had the ridiculous idea that Li Fusheng was a quadruplet. But this idea was obviously unjustifiable. Brother Wen was very curious about Li Fusheng, so
For many years, he has been trying to find Li Fusheng, but since the last time he saw Li Fusheng in Anhui, Brother Wen has never seen him again.
Brother Wen only knows so much about Li Fusheng. Although through his narration, I learned that Li Fusheng was also a person who participated in the Xihai River project back then, and may have a relatively complicated relationship with my father. Cooperation first,
Then they broke up. However, that's all that can be understood. The various mysteries of Li Fusheng himself have still not been solved.
