Report on the survey published in the summer of that year the United States on news and world report, the results of international media sensation and historians, this was reproduced in the media in many countries and comment.
Released by the record of the investigation when Peter and Susan is still in Beijing. I have to do this interview with Peter several times, interviews me on his strict and cautious working attitude is impressed. Peter familiar Chinese articles to me all the facts involved in weighing every word of criticism.
In recent years, many involving documentary literature of the cultural revolution, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Lin Biao to Lin Biao crash ondorhaan events are often not elaborate. So I decided to write to Peter and Susan's investigation process, readers.
Bai Ke mining areas: aircraft wreckage and 9 empty graves
In May 1993, respectively Australia radio and the United States news and world report and Beijing correspondent Peter and Susan flew to Mongolia. They rented a Soviet-made Jeep, together with the translation leave Ulaanbaatar, sailed to the East. Whenever it encounters a man on horseback, they were approached to ask the way. When it was passing through ndrhaan point, distance 70 kilometres of the city has a mine called Bai Ke, it is said that September 1971 there was a plane crash near the mining area.
Peter said: "without people pointing, I do not know anything had happened shocked the world, here are just a Gobi, some ups and downs of the mound, and the scenery that you see any on the road. Driver manager told me that although more than 20 years later, some scattered residents near the aircraft debris have been picked, but the body of the wreckage after being dragged to the mining area, with sand and has been working with Wild Wolves, until 1990, several Chinese businessmen here as scrap metal to sell their aircraft wreckage in the mining area. ”
Nevertheless, Peter and Susan is still a worthwhile trip. Bai Ke mining area, they found 12 pieces of aircraft debris, the largest pieces are part of the fuselage, two-foot-long, can confirm here did have a plane crash.
By contrast, graves found air crash victims is not an easy task. Their grave without a tombstone, not even any tag. Because of age, these weeds among the graves. Later, Peter knows, 9 grave here is just an empty grave. "At that time, I do not think that Lin Biao in the middle of this group of those who lost their lives. "Peter said.
In the survey, Peter and Susan was informed that Mongolia's investigative team had made a formal report on the matter, but this report is confidential, to the year 2008 can be decrypted. However, contact with the report said, in the report made no mention of Lin Biao, only spoke of a Chinese plane crash, the crew were killed. In the Chinese Embassy staff after reading, the body was buried in place. Mongolia is also reported from abroad know Lin Biao fled from China in things.
A respondents told Peter he doubts on Lin Biao in the plane. That year he was in Mongolia as English translation of the Ministry, a day late at night, he was a stranger phone call, 10 minutes later a car took him to the Ministry, kept in a hut. Someone gave him a piece of printed paper in English, made him immediately translated into Mongolia language. Looking at pieces he is fear--this is a specification of the contraceptive pill, which was written with efficacy and method. Read: Yes, security people laughed. Afterwards they told him that contraceptives were placed in the woman's pocket.
Peter understood his meaning, according to the projections of common sense, Ye Qun has been the age used contraceptives--this woman probably not Ye Qun, Lin Biao is also on the plane there is a lot of questions.
Ondorhaan: KGB took two skulls
Mongolia places can be found, Peter and Susan were searched, but the truth is still not surfaced. At this point, Peter has a new idea: the answer in the hands of the Soviet Union.
The day of the plane crash, the Soviets immediately arrived at the scene, this is a mainly by military personnel and aircraft investigation team composed of experts. They are responsible for understanding causes of aircraft crashed, but seems to be the British "Trident" is more interested in, in their Rolls Royce engine 3 is good one back to the Soviet Union, and the bodies of several dismissive.
There is talk, Soviet secret back here a few weeks later, and dug up the bodies for examination. Peter was very lucky to find involved a handful of Mongolia one person--one pathologist. The expert provides a great help, confirmed the secret operations by the KGB to, make new progress in the investigation.
Later, Peter and Susan was informed that, although when China blocked the message, but the official provided by the Embassy of the Soviet Union, are concerned about the aircraft. The Soviets feel that we should go to see it again, so consists of KGB investigation group, came to ndrhaan in a plane crash 5 weeks. Because of the dry and cold weather, when the plane crashed were burnt dead bodies have not been excessive rot, in Mongolia with the assistance of experts, they first ruled out of the plane's passengers had died before the crash, because the body of all injuries are caused because the aircraft crashed.
You need to confirm the identity of the deceased. Bring 4 big boxes of the Soviet Union, which have information on senior 38 Chinese figures, who had not appeared in public after September 13, 1971. Because the body was burned beyond recognition, identity confirmed progress very difficult. And so the Soviets cut off the head of woman and man age maximum, skull boxing back to the Soviet Union.
Later, China announced that Lin Biao died of ndrhaan crash. Many years later, the Mongolia pathologist present at that time one of the peers of the Soviet Union have been asked, whether Lin Biao in the middle of these deceased? but refused to answer their Soviet counterparts.
Peter finds an old photo, was the investigating officer of the Soviet Union and Mongolia official photo taken at dinner time. People showed him watching, photo in the third one the Soviets from the Moscow Hospital, called Tomilin, is the leading pathologists in the survey.
Peter wanted to only find Tomilin, to determine whether Lin Biao in the plane. So, he packed the luggage, with the fee to buy a ticket to Moscow. At that time, the investigation is maintained in the success of this already yellowing photographs.
Moscow: sources refused to provide
With a photo, a name, find a person in a metropolis, really as a haystack, particularly when Peter learned that when the third hospital of Moscow had been withdrawn. But he did not give up, "I think there are clues to be found. I took photo, looked the size pathology laboratory in Moscow, has finally been recognized Tomilin, give me a call. ”
Tomilin is friendly with Peter, but refused to answer any questions. He told Peter, yourself and KGB have agreement, may not disclose the outcome of the investigation. Although the KGB is now no longer exist, but are still subject to approval of the KGB's successor to the secret public.
Peter had a lot of trouble, get to know of the two new body replaced the KGB Division. He was sent to interview requests. But the low efficiency of these bodies, coupled with positive summer, most of the officials in the countryside holiday, Peter reactive power back. This is the entire investigation experience, the most frustrating day, seeing, Visa will expire, spending money running out, and interview requests still no result.
Fortunately, the United States news and world report and understood the importance of investigations to Peter and Susan, are willing to finance part of the costs. Peter has decided to use the waiting time for the interviews for approval to the United States, from another angle to investigate.
New York: Lin Biao prospective daughter-in-law here "9·13" night
Peter interviewed United States diplomatic, intelligence community, the media many people and many scholars, but there is still no new progress.
Later, a friend told Peter, Lin Biao's son Lin Liguo fiancee Zhang Ning in New York, she was one of the few last person to see Lin Biao. Zhang Ning told Peter, at Beidaihe last night, while she took sleeping pills to sleep, without seeing Lin Biao, Ye Qun boarded the plane, but she was sure that Lin Biao on the plane.
Peter suddenly asked Zhang Ning, do Ye Qun to menopause. Zhang Ning was very unexpected, she thought, was certainly Ye Qun indeed have fertility. She recalls, in Beidaihe, Lin Biao was told that Mao Zedong visited the secret speech at the South's uneasiness. One day, he is perversely Ye Qun's bedroom. The following day, Ye Qun anxious to find a doctor, asked if she may be pregnant, the doctor examined only let her heart.
Thus, Peter told Zhang Ning, the crash scene female corpse found in the pockets of contraceptives, and voiced his doubts: would Ye Qun regular use of the contraceptive pill?
Zhang Ning said that is unlikely, because she is very jealous of body, are afraid of side effects of contraceptives. But Lin Liguo sometimes take contraceptives, perhaps he pockets of contraceptives into the group.
Zhang Ning with even tone rehearsed on September 12, 1971, Lin Biao Villa what happened the last few hours.
The day family are watching movies, Lin Biao took sleeping pills into the room to sleep. Lin Liguo suddenly comes back, another house called Ye Qun to commune. Subsequently, Ye Qun to announce, to prepare, to Guangzhou by plane at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. And Ye Qun has been discord of Lin Biao's daughter Lin Doudou hurried to call security forces, brought him to Beijing. At 11 o'clock, Zhou Enlai came to telephone enquiries, Ye Qun talked for more than 10 minutes on the phone, looked confused. After putting down the telephone, she changed her decision, asking everyone to start at once. Bean refused to leave the forest; Lin Liguo not going to get are Mongolian sleep Zhang Ning, but take several cronies, and Ye Qun Lin Biao hasn't come with rack cars, drove to the Shanhaiguan airport away.
Ye Qun driver later told of Zhang Ning, fled, Lin Biao, who was thrown down by soft ladder climb out of a plane. Lin Biao was weak, below someone he carried on the shoulders, Ye Qun and drop above him, before boarding the plane.
Aircraft initially to the South-eastern direction. Came back after 20 minutes, hovering at the airport a few weeks, and then fly away to the North. And Peter in Mongolia and Russia Shi, had told him, wrecked aircraft initially entered Mongolia territory of fly to the Soviet-Mongolian border to the North, but flew back to South 200 km, and then crashed in ndrhaan. Peter said, the reason can't crack.
Returning to Moscow: the outstanding mystery
Peter regained Russia visa in return Moscow en route, he surprised to learn that Tomilin has been disclosed to him 22 years ago, the survey results.
In the Office, in addition to Tomilin, Peter saw a tall Russia people. He asked Orszag World Gold, is a former KGB official, is also head of the investigation of the plane crash.
Orszag World Gold bluntly said: "more than 20 years, only 4 people in the world know about it survey results--Brezhnev, Andropov (then head of the KGB), I and Tomilin. Today, we will disclose to you the survey results. "" Lin Biao and his wife Ye Qun did on the plane, and because the aircraft were killed in the crash. "Orszag LMT payment confirm that.
"How do you verify the conclusions?" Peter asked.
Tomilin took out a package it is terrible photos and information, including several skull photos taken from multiple angles. "This is exactly what Lin Biao's skull," Tomilin said. Lin Biao's head wound in the war, locations and injuries on the skull locations anastomosis.
Lin Biao in command of the eighth route army on the Japanese army after the battle wounded, from 1938 to 1941 in the Soviet Union for medical treatment. Soviet holds Lin Biao detailed medical records, including dental records. About the dental records of Lin Biao and the reality of the skull to a T.
Tomilin told Peter, ear lobes like a fingerprint, identification is important basis for identity. They cut off from the scene that a female corpse in one ear. "I can through the earlobe shape independent conclusions, or just comparison of dental records to identify, through the head injuries can also distinguish. Comparison of these three areas-we are able to draw firm conclusions in Mongolia ndrhaan get indeed and Ye Qun was Lin Biao himself of skulls. ”
"Identification of another direction, is used the skull against Lin Biao living photographs," zhagewosijin said, "KGB information there is a picture of overhead imagery of Lin Biao in size photographs, it is very rare. Photo clearly shows the scars of Lin Biao in the head. We stacked skulls photos and some photos of Lin Biao, see the outlines of the two fully coincide. ”
Identification of the KGB work in a meticulous. Lin Biao's medical records, there are records that he suffered from tuberculosis, in order to perfectly safe, the investigation groups return to Mongolia. Then the Gobi has North wind ROAR, cold. They dug up the bodies, in the right lung had indeed touched hard blocks calcification. Since then, Mongolia people cremated the bodies of these incomplete, with wood and kerosene burn the body for a long time, and then put the ashes in the bag to Chinese.
Peter asked about the aircraft's black box, they say black box found, but no record has been found in the aircraft when the KGB identification and call on the ground. This is a yet to be uncovered the mystery of posterity.
They confirmed to Peter, Lin Biao and Ye Qun skull are still saved in Russia, in the library of the former KGB. Not identified bodies of Lin Liguo, KGB has no interest to him, the Soviet Union did not take notice of result of Lin Biao in the investigation of the plane on the Mongolia.
At the end of an interview with Peter I calmly said: "half a year of investigation, finally found a historical mystery of the outstanding cases of the death of Lin Biao, although many of its details to our expectation. ”
As a Chinese journalist, I sincerely admire Peter and Susan pursue investigation of historical truth meticulous attitude and excellent skills. Their work is extremely important for the contemporary history of China provides circumstantial evidence, and set an example for report writing.
