Official letter of "Prime Minister's Personal Instructions"
March 18, 1960. dusk. A middle-aged man wearing a gray herringbone coat, tall and thin, with a long face, parted hair, and yellow-black complexion appeared in the secretary office of the People's Bank of China Head Office located at the east entrance of Xijiaomin Lane in Beijing.
"I am from the State Council, and I am here to deliver 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-covered envelope. The text read, "Please sign." The clerk in the secretarial office signed at the location designated by the visitor. The visitor said "OK" in a routine manner, put away the text, and walked out of the door with a calm step. The light in the secretary's room was dim, and the young clerk could not see the sender's features more clearly.
Seeing "urgent" written on the envelope, the president's secretary immediately opened it. Inside was an official letter personally written by Premier Zhou Enlai. The content was:
Prime Minister: From the Chairman's Office. The phone call reported that at 9 o'clock tonight, the Tibetan Living Buddha will hold a sermon. Chinese and foreign reporters will participate and make documentary videos. The Chairman asked that some funds be allocated for temple repairs, which would demonstrate our policy towards ethnic minorities and religious freedom. It is planned to allocate 150,000 to 200,000 yuan. Please give me your approval if this is possible. March 18, 1960
On the left is Premier Zhou’s instruction: “Please ask the People’s Bank of China to allocate 200,000 yuan immediately.” Under Zhou Enlai’s signature, there is also the following note:
< p>1. It needs old tickets circulating in the market; 2. It needs ten-yuan notes; 3. The packaging should be nice, and it must be given to Zhao Quanyi (Religious Affairs Department of the Tibet Working Committee) at the Nationality Hotel at 7:00.Looking at the familiar and chic signature, although the young secretary had doubts about this unconventional approach, she raised her wrist and saw that the watch pointed to 6:12, and her heart tightened, ah , there is only 1 hour left before the limited time. Time is tight and there is no room for overthinking. So she hurriedly picked up the phone: "Hello, is it the issuance bureau? You must prepare 200,000 yuan in cash within half an hour. Yes, there is an important political task! The Planning and Research Bureau will issue a formal payment notice soon."< /p>
After hanging up the phone, the secretary hurriedly knocked on the door of the office of the leader on duty, Deputy Director Wang of the Bureau of Planning and Research. She handed the letter and the Prime Minister's instructions to Deputy Director Wang. After reading it carefully, Deputy Director Wang asked doubtfully: "200,000 is not a small amount. Why not go through the Ministry of Finance?"
Before he could answer, the phone on the table rang sharply. He grabbed the receiver and said:
"Hello, this is the Planning and Research Bureau of the head office. I am... We are preparing! Deliver it on time before 7 o'clock. Please tell the Prime Minister to rest assured."
The call was hung up. Deputy Director Wang did not put down the receiver. He dialed and said: "The Prime Minister's Office called again to urge me. I will immediately notify the issuing bureau and ask them to send it quickly. "Money!"
It's time to light the lamp, and it's the time to get crowded. Zhu, Section Chief of the Issuance Bureau, and three other people carried two sacks of banknotes into the revolving door of the front hall of the Minzu Hotel. They went straight to the service desk and asked "Comrade Zhao Quanyi of the Tibet Working Committee." At this time, a man stood up from the big sofa next to him. Blue gabardine tunic, black woolen 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 what was in front of him. Zhao Quanyi asked with relief: "We didn't make any mistakes, right?"
Zhao Quanyi smiled and shook his head, pointing to the clock on the wall: "It's very on time!"
Zhao Quanyi took out a letter stamped with the seal "For Letters of Introduction from the Prime Minister's Office only." It reads:
This is 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
Section Chief Zhu read the letter and asked Zhao Quanyi to write a receipt.
Chief Zhu took the letter of introduction and receipt and left the Minzu Hotel. When they stepped out of the hotel door, they all let out a long breath, "Oh, the mission is completed!"
Dragnet
On the afternoon of March 24, 1960, the Ministry of Public Security Vice Minister Yang Qiqing was speaking at a meeting. Suddenly, his speech was interrupted by an emergency call: The Prime Minister's Office informed that a liar with the pseudonym "Zhao Quanyi" forged Premier Zhou Enlai's instructions and defrauded the People's Bank of China Head Office of 200,000 yuan in cash... The responsible comrade of the Central Committee instructed the Ministry of Public Security , organize forces immediately and solve the case quickly!
Just the day before, the People's Bank of China reported the case to the public security department. They originally thought that after the huge sum of 200,000 yuan was delivered, the Prime Minister's Office would quickly explain how to account for it. However, one day passed, two days passed...until the sixth day, I still did not receive a reply from the Prime Minister's Office. They couldn't keep calm anymore and hurriedly called to inquire. The staff of the Prime Minister's Office were baffled and claimed that they had no knowledge of the matter. They asked to send the "Prime Minister's Instructions" and the receipt for verification, only to discover that this was a huge fraud case of forging the Prime Minister's Instructions.
1960 was the first year of three years of natural disasters. In this extraordinary period of extreme economic difficulty, a scammer used a forged "Prime Minister's Instruction" to defraud him out of 200,000 yuan! The Prime Minister was extremely angry after hearing the news and ordered that the case be solved within a time limit.
The technical department confirmed through the identification of the evidence left by "Zhao Quanyi" - the forged Prime Minister's instructions, the withdrawal introduction letter and the receipt of 200,000 cash: the kraft paper envelope used by the criminal was genuine from the State Council An old envelope, the official document paper is 15 lines of lined paper used by large institutions. The criminal has a high level of education and is familiar with the format and terminology of official documents. The stationery used by criminals is not sold on the market, but is homemade within the agency.
Soon they found the envelope from the State Council, which was once used by the State Council to send documents to the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and the 15-line lined paper was also one of the official papers used by the Ministry of Foreign Trade in the past.
It is certain that the criminals are hiding in the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
A small list was placed on the table. During everyone's analysis and discussion, the suspects quickly changed from ten to five, four, three, two, and finally, only There is only one left - Wang Zhuo.
Dong Lin, who was in the same office as Wang Zhuo, definitely connected Wang Zhuo and "Zhao Quanyi" as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Why?" the project officer asked.
“First, on the afternoon of the incident, Wang Zhuo asked for leave and did not go to work. He said he was taking his mother to Jishuitan Hospital for medical treatment. After investigation, it was found that he and his mother had not been to the hospital.< /p>
Second, some comrades in the office were chatting a few days ago. They were talking about this big fraud case. They mentioned that the characteristic of criminals is that they have very small eyes. I casually said, Lao Wang, you don’t have good eyes. That's a big deal. It was originally a joke, but Wang Zhuo immediately stood up and said angrily: You framed a good person! Why has he never lost his temper like this?"
< p>Soon Wang Zhuo's handwriting was handed over to the Technical Appraisal Department. In less than two hours, the identification conclusion was reached: Wang Zhuo's handwriting completely matched that of the fraudster. At this time, the simulated portrait of "Zhao Quanyi" was also spread out flat on the table. Comparing it with Wang Zhuo's photo, it looked like it was developed from the same negative.
