A Murder Beside Yanhe River

A woman's body was found beside Yanhe river one day in 1937 with a gunshot wound on her head, and the investigation led to the arrest of Huang Kegong, a 26-year old general of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. He shot the woman, Liu Quan, who was a student at the North West Anti-Japanese Red Army University in Yan'an, after she turned down his marriage proposal. The case was passed to the newly formed Regional High Court, where Lei Jingtian, a former Red Army, served as a judge.
