In the murky circumstances surrounding Peoples Liberation Army Marshal Lin Biao's purported coup attempt against Mao and subsequent death during the Cultural Revolution, the biggest outstanding mystery involves the high-ranking military officers Zhou Yuchi, Yu Xinye, and Li Weixin reputed to have plotted with Lin Biao's son Lin Liguo. On the evening of September 12, 1971 the plotters swept clean of all evidence their Shanghai officer's building and then left. But 67 hours later a service attendant entered the apartment and found a copy of the infamous Project 571 coup plot outline, along with an English-language textbook, a copy of Che Guevara's "Motorcycle Diaries," and an empty imported Japanese notebook. These are the infamous "Four Pieces of Evidence." Who put them there? The suspicion is that it was Li Weixin. Li Weixin was the last to leave the officer's building and could have planted the evidence. It is suspected that Li was a spy planted by Mao and the chief of his palace guards Wang Dongxing to spy on the distrusted Lin Liguo. More evidence is that Li Weixin was the lone survivor among those who boarded a helicopter trying to escape from Beijing after Lin Biao's plane--also carrying his wife Ye Qun and son Lin Liguo--is reported to have taken off from Beidaihe on September 13, 1971 and crashed in Mongolia, leaving no survivors. Li Weixin subsequently "confessed" to the coup plot. Li Weixin was eventually released and subsequently worked with a foreign company and built up a family fortune. A strange second act for a traitor guilty of trying to assassinate the Great Helmsman. This episode of Chinese history remains a deep mystery.
