1On March 28th, 938, a shooting incident occurred at the eastern end of cinder lane in Beiping (now Beijing). The assassin was an agent of the Military Bureau, and the victim was Wang Kemin, the number one traitor in North China and the chairman of the pseudo-interim government. The assassination was called "the first case in North China" by the press at that time. ...

1938 One day in late February, the sky in Tianjin was dark, the north wind roared and the dust was flying. In the evening, a young man riding a motorized bicycle came to the front of a cigarette shop near Sanhefang in the city. The car stopped, the engine didn't stop, it was still ringing. The young man stepped on the ground with one foot and one foot on the threshold, took off his leather gloves, took out a few bills from his pocket and handed them to the chubby shopkeeper:

"Boss, give me a' hardman'."

The shopkeeper took the bill, glanced at it briefly, and handed the other party a "Hadmen" cigarette without saying anything. The young man put down his cigarette and rode off on an electric bicycle. In the cigarette and paper shop, the fat shopkeeper looked at the mechanical bicycle in the distance, with an imperceptible smile on his face, and turned and walked into the back room. He bolted the door, took out a blank sheet of paper from the bill, coated it with steganography, and wrote several Chinese characters and a set of Arabic numerals on it. Chinese characters are very simple, with only five words: "Chen Gongzhu personally translated". Fat shopkeeper dare not neglect, immediately called the wife of shop-owner, with her immediately sent to the secret hotel in Chen Gongzhu.

The cigarette and paper shop is the secret traffic point of Tianjin Railway Station, which is responsible for receiving information and secret messages for the station authorities. "Wife of shop-owner" changed the tram twice, and when she saw that no one was following her, she stumbled into an alley, stood in front of a big red paint door, tapped on the door leaf, gave the code to the bodyguard when he opened the door, and left in a hurry without even entering the door.

The bodyguard went in, entered the room, and handed the tip-off to a middle-aged man in a fur robe, Chen Gongzhu, the stationmaster of the Military Bureau of Tianjin Railway Station. Take out the password book from the safe, translate the message, and silently say, "Tianjin Railway Station Chen: I want you to go to Beiping to kill the king as soon as possible. Dai Li today. "

Chen Gongzhu blinked, nodded slowly and said to himself, "Oh! This matter is so important that it seems that I have to go to Peiping myself! "

Chen Gongzhu was not surprised by Dai Li's secret order, because he knew its background:1On July 7th, 937, the Lugouqiao Incident in Peiping caused a sensation in the world, and the Japanese army began a full-scale war of aggression against China. In order to destroy China, Japan formulated the policy of "controlling China with China" and "divide and rule". According to this policy, every time a place is occupied, a "vigilante society" will be fostered. 1At the end of July, 937, Japan sent troops to support the "Beiping Police Society" headed by the late Qing Dynasty bureaucrat Jiang Chaozong. Later, large and small "maintenance clubs" were established in all parts of North China. However, with the escalation and expansion of military aggression, Japan felt that the role of "maintaining society" could no longer meet the needs of the war of aggression against China, so it decided to establish a unified political power-"interim government" in North China. Cao Kun, Jin, Wu and Cao Rulin were the four celebrities that North China sent troops to see at first. Cao Kun agreed to go out of the mountain, but it was difficult to reach an agreement on the asking price of100000 yuan. Jin declined, "I have respected Buddha for many years and have no intention of becoming a monk"; Wu also agreed to go out, but on the condition that "Japan must withdraw its troops and I will restore the legal system", which is unacceptable to Japan; Cao Rulin committed the May 4th treason and was afraid of adding another crime, so he didn't dare to answer. He refused Xiduo's request on the grounds that "my mother cried at each other and I had kidney disease".

The Japanese called the idea to Wang Kemin, and sent a major general officer to Dalian to contact Wang Kemin, asking Wang to be the chairman of the "interim government". Blinded by wisdom, Wang Kemin agreed, and immediately flew to Fukuoka, Japan, to meet with the head of the Japanese military department to discuss specific matters. After that, Wang Kemin went to Beiping and began to set up a puppet government in full swing. 1937 12 13, Nanjing, the capital of the national government, fell. The Japanese side believes that the establishment of an "interim government" at this time is politically "metabolic". Then, the next day, Wang Kemin led a group of traitors such as Wang, Dong Kang, Tang, Zhu Shen, Qi Yuan, Yu Jiaji and Zhu Shuyuan to appear in Beiping Huairentang Heifen. Shortly after the establishment of the "provisional government", puppet regimes were established in various parts of North China. Wang Kemin appointed a group of puppet leaders in the name of the chairman of the "interim government"; Mayor Jiang Chaozong of Beiping, Mayor Gao of Tianjin, Governor Gao of Hebei, Governor Xiao of Shandong, Governor Xiao of Henan and Governor Su Tiren of Shanxi.

Japan's actions of piecing together puppet organizations and establishing puppet regimes in various parts of North China directly endangered Chiang Kai-shek's policy of "establishing a unified, stable and powerful central government first", which was really unacceptable to Chiang Kai-shek. After Wang Kemin came to power, Chiang Kai-shek flew into a rage and decided to secretly carry out "anti-traitor action" in North China to assassinate traitors. 1938 After the Spring Festival, Chiang Kai-shek summoned Dai Li, director of the Military Bureau, and instructed the Military Bureau to be responsible for "eliminating rape", especially appointing Wang Kemin as the first in hit list.

These facts were known by Chen Gongzhu when he went to Wuhan to meet Dai Li in secret recently. At that time, Dai Li called Chen Gongzhu and prepared to assassinate Wang Kemin at Tianjin Railway Station. At this time, Dai Li sent a telegram, indicating that Chiang Kai-shek had made the final decision, and Chen Gongzhu, of course, resolutely carried out the order. That evening, Chen Gongzhu personally delineated the list of action personnel and informed them one by one, so that he could go to Peiping the next afternoon.

Wang Kemin, whose real name is Lu Shu, was born in Hangzhou County, Zhejiang Province (now Yuhang). 1873 (Tongzhi 12) was born in a bureaucratic family in Guangdong. 1903, Wang Kemin raised a juren, sent money to Beijing to donate alternate roads, and was sent to Zhili as an inspector after being dredged by Zhao Erxun, the governor of the three northeastern provinces, and Yang Shiying, the governor of Shandong Province. Soon, Wang Kemin was sent to Japan by the Qing government as the inspector of Zhejiang students studying in Japan, and was later appointed as the Counsellor of the Qing government's legation in Japan. 1February, 906, he was appointed as the "deputy supervisor of students studying in China", becoming the agent of the Qing government to control students studying in Japan and the sworn enemy of students studying in Japan. The following winter, Wang Kemin returned from Japan, worked in the branches of the Qing government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and soon joined Yang Shizhen, the governor of Zhili, as a staff officer to assist in foreign affairs; 19 10 was promoted to zhili ambassador to handle foreign affairs for zhili governor.

After the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911, Wang Kemin went to France and met foreign bosses in the banking industry, which laid the foundation for him to enter the financial sector in the future. Wang Kemin stayed in France for one year, and after returning to China, he served as finance minister in Yuan Shikai's government. Soon, "Sino-French Industrial Bank" was established. According to the agreement, each country recognizes half of the capital and each has a general manager seat. At the proposal of the French side, Wang Kemin became the general manager of China. 1965438+In July 2007, Wang Kemin became the president of Bank of China. Wang Kemin is not very proficient in banks, but he has an amazing memory. He can recite and remember numbers. He is known as the "living account book" and is favored by the dignitaries of Beiyang government. 19171.10. In October, Wang Shizhen, known as the "Dragon of Beiyang", was ordered to form a temporary cabinet, and Wang Kemin became the chief financial officer for the first time, from a bank boss to a big bureaucrat. Wang Shizhen's cabinet only lasted for more than three months, and Wang Kemin also stepped down. A few years later, Cao Kun became the president of the Beijing government, and Wang Kemin became the chief financial officer for helping Cao Kun to pay bribes.

1924 10, Feng Yuxiang staged a coup in Beijing, Duan made a comeback, took office as the interim government, and ordered an arrest warrant for Wang Kemin, a lineal monk. Wang Kemin, who heard about this incident, fled to a foreign embassy and soon crossed the border to Japan, from which he got in touch with the Japanese. 1928 In May, the Nanjing government ordered Wang Kemin to be wanted on charges of "controlling money, running a party for personal gain, supporting the army and delaying disasters". Wang Kemin fled to the northeast, took refuge in Feng Department, and served as commander of the northeast border guards. 19311February, Zhang Xueliang organized the Beiping Financial Consolidation Committee, appointed Wang Kemin as the vice chairman (the chairman is also Zhang himself), and authorized him to handle the affairs of the Committee. The following year, Wang Kemin became a member of the Northeast Government Affairs Committee. 1933, the National Government established the Administrative Restructuring Committee of the Executive Yuan in Pingping, with Wang Kemin as its member and chief financial officer, in charge of five provinces including Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Chahar and Suiyuan, and special cities such as Beiping and Qingdao.

During the period of 1935, with the deepening of Japanese imperialist aggression, the situation in North China deteriorated. At that time, Huang Wei, then chairman of the Beijing Municipal Affairs Organizing Committee, was deeply dissatisfied with Japan and found it difficult to negotiate with Japan, so he gave the post of chairman to Wang Kemin as an agent. In August, the committee was cancelled by the National Government, and Wang Kemin became a civilian. But in February of the same year, Jicha Government Affairs Committee was established, and Wang Kemin became a member. The following year, the Committee established the Economic Committee, with Wang Kemin as the chairman of the Economic Committee until the July 7th Incident broke out.

It is said that Chen Gongzhu, the stationmaster of Scout tianjin railway station, did not dare to neglect his orders from Dai Li. He transferred troops overnight and led nine agents to Beiping in disguise the next day.

After Chen Gongzhu and his party arrived in Beiping, they stayed in two big hotels as businessmen. Chen Gongzhu ordered his men to be careful to stand by and not to act without authorization. He personally visited Mao Wanli, secretary of the Military Beiping Station, and wanted to know about Wang Kemin. Mao Wanli is also a famous spy of the Military Bureau. Although he met Chen Gongzhu, he made selfless friends. He doesn't seem to agree that Dai Li doesn't ask the spies lurking in Peiping to punish Wang Kemin, but let Chen Gongzhu do it as much as possible. Therefore, he was indifferent to the arrival of Chen Gongzhu, and he was hesitant and ambiguous when introducing the situation. What kind of person is Chen Gongzhu? I immediately saw the signs, stopped asking questions now, perfunctory for a while and left.

Mao Wanli refused to help, so it was difficult for Chen Gongzhu. If the peach tree doesn't bear fruit, go under the plum tree. The next day, Chen Gongzhu went to see his old classmate, Qi Qingbin, who was a spy of another military system. At that time, he was the assistant secretary of the North China Branch of Fuxing News Agency. Qi Qingbin and Chen Gongzhu are good friends. After listening to Chen Gongzhu's explanation of his purpose, he introduced the relevant situation: after Wang Kemin appeared in BLACKPINK as the "chairman" of the pseudo-interim government, he was guilty and realized that he might be assassinated at any time, so he took quite strict preventive measures. Therefore, if you want to assassinate Wang Kemin, you must choose a suitable place and know exactly the law of Wang Kemin's activities.

Chen Gongzhu returned to the Kyoto Hotel where he stayed, and called several spies to discuss how to start. In the end, he came to the conclusion that the assassination must get through the interior, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve the goal. Chen Gongzhu began to look for the brains of insiders. According to the practice of military activities, there must be agents infiltrating around Wang Kemin, but this is from Beiping Station. Chen Gongzhu hit a soft nail in Mao Wanli, so naturally he won't kill himself again, so he must find another way. How to make laws? Chen Gongzhu has his own ideas. Among the nine spies who came to Beiping to carry out assassination missions, one surnamed Luo was from Beiping. Luo's grandfather was a Wu Jinshi in Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty. His official position is "Taishou" and he has eight wives and concubines, which makes a big family. By Luo's parents, the star had fallen, so he had to be a catcher and bodyguard. Each branch of the family will be independent and independent, but they will often walk around each other. In Luo's generation, his career became more and more complicated. Many officials (generals, of course, just sesame and mung bean officials) became spies and staff officers like Luo's peers before continuing to serve others. Luo has a cousin who works as a policeman in Wang Kemin Mansion. He is a cook in the kitchen. Chen Gongzhu's idea lies in this man.

On this day, I called Luo and made such an explanation, asking him to touch my cousin's bottom and see if he could help. Luo sent someone to call his cousin out of Wang Mansion and went to a teahouse to have tea and chat. After an hour, Luo inquired about his cousin and came back to tell him that there are three kinds of kitchens in Wangfu: large, medium and small. Servants and guards eat the big ones, the king's family eats the middle ones, and the king himself eats the small ones. Cousin cooks dishes in the middle of the kitchen, but because he has some cooking skills, sometimes Wang Kemin will let him cook some special dishes in the kitchen for a change. Now his monthly salary is 20 yuan Ocean.

Hearing this, Chen Gongzhu was secretly happy: According to the current situation, this person has the conditions to poison and assassinate. The instructions now are: "I will contact you tomorrow and make a substantive test. I can raise the price a little, even tens of thousands of dollars. We do things righteously, and we can secretly take his home to safety in advance; Afterwards, he was immediately sent to Wuhan or Chongqing to find another job. "

"Luo nodded." Yes! "

The next day, Luo went to see his cousin again. When I went to my cousin's house this time, I was surprised when I entered the door: my cousin was lying on his back in bed and couldn't move. When I asked the reason, it turned out that my cousin was working the night shift in Wang Mansion yesterday and couldn't go home until midnight. I was accidentally knocked down by a carriage on the way and was taken to the hospital for investigation. His calf and fibula were broken and he had to rest at home with a splint. Luo had an idea about his cousin's carelessness, and he suspected that the other party had seen the signs yesterday and refused to start, so he came to this "risks", but it's no use crying over spilt milk, so he had to comfort a few words and leave some money. When he returned to Kyoto Hotel and reported to Chen Gongzhu, Chen Gongzhu was both surprised and silent.

Chen Gongzhu didn't have a spell to say, so he curled up in his room and asked the tea boy to go to the restaurant to order some lemonade and a bottle of wine, so that he could drink it alone. This is not only to drown my sorrows, but also to think hard again. Maybe he can figure something out. But after thinking about it, I couldn't figure out a way. It seems that the only way to complete the task is to send a secret telegram to Dai Li, and in the name of the bureau headquarters, instruct the Scout Beiping Station to provide him with inside information to assist in the assassination of Wang Kemin. Of course, Dai Li agreed to do this, but this move is "a benefit will have a disadvantage", which will show that his ability in Chen Gongzhu is not enough, and I am afraid it will affect his future career.

Chen Gongzhu drank the wine and asked himself, "Is this really necessary?" He asked this question five times, and finally came to the conclusion: don't do it for the time being, wait a day or two to see the situation.

The next day, things unexpectedly improved. ...

Chen Gongzhu has a very good old friend, Zhang Ming Zuoxing. He used to be an agent, but later he switched to business and lived in Beiping. Chen Gongzhu came to Beiping and made a special trip to see us. Because they are old friends, they spoke publicly, revealing the solution to Wang Kemin. Zhang Zuoxing came to Kyoto Hotel this day to pay a return visit to Chen Gongzhu. When he was sad, he saw this man, asked the reason, learned what had happened and smiled.

"Dude, what's the problem? Just willing to spend some money; Solved! "

Happiness comes from heaven! Chen Gongzhu asked each other what was the best way. Zhang Zuoxing pulled his fingers and told me in detail that he was ugly-Zhang Zuoxing had a brother-in-law named Liu who lived in Huangchenggen, and Liu had a neighbor named Wu Shouyi, a retired officer in his fifties. He used to be a teacher under Zhang, and now he has returned to the local area to live with a young wife. Wu Shouyi has no children, and the husband and wife are inevitably lonely, so they often drink. He has a habit that he has developed for many years: he likes company when drinking and hates drinking too little. It happened that his wife was not good at drinking, and after three glasses of wine, she was drunk as mud, which broke his rules and ruined his interest. Wu Shouyi often pulls Liu to drink together, and sometimes Zhang Zuoxing just goes to his brother-in-law's house and is dragged away. Wu Shouyi is interested in drinking with his companions. He often talks nonsense after a few drinks. Although he talked a lot, he talked about XXX being a battalion commander under him, XXX being a colonel under him, and how to be respectful and polite to him as an officer in those days. He has a roster in his stomach, and he can't say a word wrong, and the person mentioned must be rich now. On one occasion, Wu Shouyi mentioned an officer named Peng Xihai, saying that Peng used to be a company commander under him, and now he is the captain of the guards of Wang Kemin, the chairman of the "interim government". He has a lot of power, but he still exerts influence on his former boss who is already an ordinary person and visits him from time to time. ...

At this point, Zhang Zuoxing said with a smile: "Dude, why don't you think of a way for this guard captain?"

Chen Gongzhu stopped, beaming, rang the bell to call the waiter, and asked him to prepare dining tables and entertain his old friend. During the dinner, Chen Gongzhu asked Zhang Zuoxing to learn more about Peng Xihai's current attitude towards Wang Kemin, so as to judge the possibility of wooing Peng Xihai as an insider. Zhang Zuoxing agreed.

The next day, Zhang Zuoxing came to see Chen Gongzhu and reported: "According to Wu Shouyi, Peng Xihai, the captain of the police, has a good reputation, but it is not worthy of the name. There are only seven or eight people under him. He works as a catering officer in Wangfu, taking care of the house. As for the guards, Wang Kemin has four close-fitting male soldiers, who follow him all day and never leave. So I am dissatisfied with Wang Kemin. "

Chen Gongzhu was overjoyed: "Good news! In this case, it is necessary for me to visit Wu Shouyi personally, let Wu Shouyi come forward and talk to Peng Xihai, and let Peng Xihai help us. "

In the afternoon, Chen Gongzhu, accompanied by Zhang Zuoxing, took gifts such as famous wine, jewelry, cloth and snacks to the Royal Genbujia. Wu Shouyi buys wine to entertain. Chen Gongzhu thinks his reputation is too great to tell the truth. He pretended to be Zhao Mingjingfu and was entrusted to come to Beiping from Wuhan to do this big "business". Wu Shouyi was born in the army, very loyal, and also had some patriotic thoughts. He didn't think highly of Wang Kemin's behavior of betraying himself for glory. At present, Chen Gongzhu doesn't have to say much, so he promised to lobby Peng Xihai. The old man patted his chest and said to Chen Gongzhu, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I'm trying to force someone to come forward. Even if you don't succeed, it won't ruin your plan. Peng Xihai is my old subordinate. Even if he disagrees, he will never shake the details to Wang Kemin! "

Chen Gongzhu and Wu Shouyi agreed that he would come to Wu Jia to hear back in three days.

Three days later, at noon, I went to the Wu family with Zhang Zuoxing. The news is that Peng Xihai promised to do it, but he put forward two conditions: one is to give the family 20 thousand silver dollars; Secondly, it is absolutely necessary to ensure that he and his family are safely transferred to Wuhan.

Chen Gongzhu nodded: "Twenty thousand dollars to buy Wang Kemin's head is worth it; Ask to transfer to Wuhan, yes. " Make a decision now and promise to pay half the fee first and the other half as soon as it is done.

That evening, a spy was sent to the Wu family to send a check for 10000 yuan and five gold bars as a reward for Wu Shouyi. Wu Shouyi accepted the check and sent a message to "Miss Zhao" waiting for good news. The gold bars were returned, saying that they were helping friends and could not benefit. Chen Gongzhu was naturally happy, so he stayed at the Kyoto Hotel to listen to the news, and made his agents ready to leave Peiping at any time.

The news came quickly, but to Chen Gongzhu's great disappointment, when Wu Shouyi sent the check to Peng Xihai, the captain of the guard changed his mind and refused to accept it. Wu Shouyi's persuasion failed, so he had to take the check back. He felt embarrassed and bowed to "Miss Zhao" again and again: "I'm sorry! Sorry! "

Chen Gongzhu, a senior agent of the Military Bureau, is very considerate. Although he was disappointed, he was angry with Peng Xihai. On the surface, he kept a straight face, accepted the check, and conveniently wrote another check for 5,000 yuan and handed it to Wu Shouyi: "Please Mr. Wu run again and give this to Captain Peng."

This hand, even Wu Shouyi, a teacher, was shocked: "What is this?"

"This incident has caused mental stress to Captain Peng, so I have the right to shock him."

Afterwards, it was proved that Chen Gongzhu's skill was necessary, which not only blocked Peng Xihai's mouth, but also played an unexpected role.

Peng Xihai's sudden change of heart embarrassed Chen Gongzhu. He realized that he had fallen into that embarrassing situation again a few days ago. He huddled in the room and thought for a long time, but his mind was still blank. In desperation, we had to gather all nine of us to discuss any good ideas. We talked for hours and had several ideas, but they couldn't stand the scrutiny and had to give up.

After dinner, a traffic policeman suddenly came to scout Beiping station and sent a secret message. Chen Gongzhu took out the codebook to translate the content, which was a headache-Dai Li called to urge him to do it quickly, saying that Chiang Kai-shek was waiting to hear the news.

Chen Gongzhu this time there is no way out, Dai Li's telegram is the military orders, if you don't start, is to disobey the military orders, that is, lose your head, not kidding. It seems that only by adopting the original idea can we ask Dai Li to order the use of the inside line of the Beiping military system. Although this will be considered incompetent by the supervisor, incompetence is much better than using your head.

"Alas-"sighed, grabbed the telephone transmitter and dialed Luo's guest room downstairs: "Come at once!"

Luo went to junior high school and studied literature and ink. On this business trip, Chen Gongzhu asked him to be a part-time clerk and called him, in order to ask him to draft a telegram for Dai Li, asking for the use of the insider of Beiping Station. At the moment, Chen Gongzhu said the meaning again. Finally, he said, "You write a telegram at once. After I translate it into code, I will send someone to have his radio station send it to Boss Dai. "

Luo's mind is relatively calm. After listening for a while, he asked, "Mr. Chen, have we reached the point where we have to do this now?"

Chen Gongzhu was shocked: "What did you say?"

"In my humble position, it seems that there are other ways to try."

"What road can I try again?"

"Although Peng Xihai refused to start, if he is willing to provide us with clues about the law of Wang Kemin's activities, it will be of vital significance for us to achieve our goal."

Hearing this, Chen Gongzhu woke up like a dream: "Yes! Damn, why didn't I think of that before? I hope to let him start first, but I didn't expect this layer of convenience! " Now I decided not to send a telegram for the time being. Please ask Wu Shouyi to go to Peng Xihai to understand the situation tomorrow.

This move is correct, and half of this "correct" acquisition is based on the check that Chen Gongzhu asked Wu Shouyi to give to Peng Xihai yesterday. Peng Xihai looked at the check and provided Wu Shouyi with a crucial message: Wang Kemin would go to the Japanese Gendarmerie in Cinder Lane at 2 pm every Tuesday to meet with Secret Service Minister Hideyoshi.

Like reinforcements, Chen Gongzhu was in high spirits and decided to ambush Wang Kemin in cinder lane on the spot.

The next day, Chen Gongzhu personally went to cinder lane to check the terrain. When he came back, he drew a topographic map. After repeated consideration, he made an action plan: nine agents were divided into two groups. The first group of key shooting targets Wang Kemin; The second group blocked the counterattack of the other guard with fierce shooting and covered the first group.

That evening, Chen Gongzhu called a meeting of all the action personnel and announced: "The action time is scheduled for two o'clock next Tuesday afternoon. 1: 40, the personnel gathered outside Guanglu Cinema at the east exit of Jinyu Hutong in Dongsipailou South Street, with a time difference of three minutes. After the assembly, the first group directly reached the predetermined place through the sidewalk and took their positions. The second group went west from Goldfish Hutong, with one person riding a bicycle and two people walking in one or two formations. At the gate of the gendarmerie, they stopped according to the rules set by the Japanese, saluted the past post, and then went over, on the principle of not causing trouble. I sat in a food stall on the road opposite the east exit of cinder lane. When you see me stand up, get ready. Watch me put on my hat, and you will do it. After laying hands on him, quickly evacuate the scene separately. Do you understand? "

The agents nodded, and it was settled. In order to ensure the success of the operation, Chen Gongzhu and the Ministry conducted three drills on the spot.

Tuesday, March 28th, 1938. As usual, Wang Kemin took a nap after lunch, knocked on the office at one o'clock, flipped through the newspaper and ordered to prepare the car. At half past one, two black cars slowly drove out of the gate of Wang Mansion. Four guards sat in front of a car, followed by Wang Kemin's car, and slowly drove in the direction of cinder lane.

Wang Kemin met with Sido this day, mainly about the merger of Nanjing Liang Hongzhi's "interim government" and the reform government. Therefore, he had to take Yamamoto Rongji, the temporary consultant of the "interim government". In advance, Yamamoto Rongji and Wang Kemin have already called and waited at the gate of Dream Jiao Cafe on the way to cinder lane in Wang Mansion. Wang Kemin's car stopped when it passed "Dream Jiao" and let Yamamoto Rong Zhi get on the bus.

There is a long food stall across the road from the east exit of cinder lane. At one o'clock this day, a middle-aged man wearing a Chinese coat and a wool hat came to one of the stalls selling braised dishes, asked for a dish of braised beef, a dish of peanuts, a dish of salted duck, and a couple of shochu. He sat down facing the alley, took off his hat, and took his time to eat and drink. 1: 45, six customers wearing coarse clothes came to the tofu stall and wonton stall next to the pot-stewed vegetable stall. They each ordered a bowl of snacks, sat down facing the road, ate slowly and chatted with each other from time to time. Chen Gongzhu, who was drinking at the pot-stewed food stall, didn't look at the new customers on both sides of the stall, but only drank by himself. 1: 55, Chen Gongzhu saw a bicycle in the opposite alley. Luo Mou, riding a bicycle, dressed as a rich man, shook his head while riding and hummed a little song. The bicycle rode slowly, six or seven meters behind the car, followed by two big men. Chen Gongzhu turned his eyes to the south of the road, and suddenly the light came on: Wang Kemin's car is coming!

When two black cars arrived at the mouth of cinder alley, it was 1: 57. As soon as the police car in front turned into the alley, the car behind began to turn. Just then, Chen Gongzhu suddenly stood up and put on his hat. Almost at the same time, six agents in the food stall jumped up, pulled out their pistols and shot Wang Kemin's car together. At that time, the gunfire on the road was deafening and smoke filled the air. Luo and two other agents had already reached the alley mouth, with guns in their hands. Willy-nilly, they shot at the police car, and the roaring bullets overwhelmed several guards, making them unable to get away.

After a close fire, Chen Gongzhu blew a sharp whistle, and the agents found the way to escape according to the division of labor in advance, and disappeared in an instant. ...

The assassination, well-organized, assassin lineup is also very strong, but because of timidity, dare not close to the shooting, the result only killed Japanese consultant Yamamoto Rongji, Wang Kemin only suffered minor injuries. After the incident, the Japanese Gendarmerie and Beiping Pseudo-Police Station dispatched a large number of military and police to search for the murderer, but Chen Gongzhu and others had already left Beiping, and this big case was finally dropped.

On August 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. 10 On June 6th, the No.1 traitor in North China, Wang Kemin, was arrested at the home of Ma Lian Wang Shijing, the Northeast Army of Beiping, and imprisoned in the prison of Beiping Artillery Bureau. On February 25th, 65438, Wang Kemin committed suicide by taking poison and died in prison at the age of 72.
