1928年底,曾擔任(ren)中共山(shan)東省(sheng)委(wei)重(zhong)要職(zhi)務的(de)王(wang)復元(yuan)投敵叛變(bian),山(shan)東省(sheng)黨組織遭到了(le)嚴(yan)重(zhong)破壞。根據中共中央(yang)指示,中共山(shan)東省(sheng)委(wei)和青島(dao)市委(wei)召開(kai)了(le)聯席會議(yi),專題(ti)研究如(ru)何(he)鏟除叛徒(tu)的(de)問題(ti)。因為(wei)徐子興是王(wang)復元(yuan)介紹入黨的(de),如(ru)果借這(zhe)(zhe)個(ge)關(guan)系(xi)深入虎穴,以假自首騙(pian)取敵人的(de)信任(ren),甚為(wei)方便(bian)。省(sheng)、市委(wei)對情況做了(le)認真分(fen)析(xi)后,決定讓(rang)他擔當(dang)這(zhe)(zhe)一重(zhong)任(ren)。
1929年(nian)4月(yue)1日,叛(pan)(pan)(pan)徒(tu)王(wang)(wang)復(fu)元來(lai)(lai)到(dao)了青島(dao),徐(xu)子(zi)(zi)興(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)根(gen)據(ju)黨(dang)(dang)(dang)的(de)指示,立(li)即(ji)趕赴火車站去“迎接”。王(wang)(wang)復(fu)元一見徐(xu)子(zi)(zi)興(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing),心里十(shi)分(fen)狐疑,他(ta)先發制人,問徐(xu)子(zi)(zi)興(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)打算(suan)怎么辦。徐(xu)子(zi)(zi)興(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)鎮(zhen)定(ding)地(di)說:“我是你(ni)介紹參加共產黨(dang)(dang)(dang)的(de),你(ni)怎么辦,我就怎么辦!”經過(guo)一番對答(da),終(zhong)于騙得(de)了王(wang)(wang)復(fu)元的(de)信任,當上了“捕(bu)共隊員(yuan)(yuan)”。徐(xu)子(zi)(zi)興(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)“自(zi)(zi)首叛(pan)(pan)(pan)變(bian)”的(de)消(xiao)息傳開后,招來(lai)(lai)了許多人的(de)白眼(yan)和責罵。一向(xiang)把(ba)氣節(jie)看(kan)得(de)很重(zhong)(zhong)的(de)徐(xu)子(zi)(zi)興(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)心里十(shi)分(fen)難過(guo),但是為了黨(dang)(dang)(dang)的(de)工(gong)作,他(ta)只能(neng)忍辱(ru)負重(zhong)(zhong),不能(neng)泄露(lu)半點機密。為了鏟(chan)除大叛(pan)(pan)(pan)徒(tu)王(wang)(wang)復(fu)元,周恩來(lai)(lai)親自(zi)(zi)派(pai)(pai)警衛(wei)員(yuan)(yuan)張(zhang)英(ying)來(lai)(lai)山(shan)東協助(zhu)除奸。省委(wei)亦(yi)派(pai)(pai)交(jiao)通(tong)員(yuan)(yuan)王(wang)(wang)科(ke)仁(ren)扮成(cheng)賣香(xiang)煙的(de)小(xiao)販,尋找叛(pan)(pan)(pan)徒(tu)蹤跡。然而,張(zhang)英(ying)和王(wang)(wang)科(ke)仁(ren)都不認(ren)識王(wang)(wang)復(fu)元,所以,如何(he)使執行除奸任務的(de)同(tong)志(zhi)辨準叛(pan)(pan)(pan)徒(tu)的(de)面目成(cheng)為關鍵所在。徐(xu)子(zi)(zi)興(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)利(li)用(yong)自(zi)(zi)己是檢(jian)信員(yuan)(yuan)和“捕(bu)共隊員(yuan)(yuan)”雙重(zhong)(zhong)身份的(de)便利(li),在老工(gong)人的(de)幫助(zhu)下(xia),通(tong)過(guo)查閱郵件,找到(dao)了叛(pan)(pan)(pan)徒(tu)的(de)照片,黨(dang)(dang)(dang)組織立(li)即(ji)把(ba)照片在有關人員(yuan)(yuan)中(zhong)傳閱,并讓張(zhang)英(ying)、王(wang)(wang)科(ke)仁(ren)用(yong)強記憶的(de)辦法認(ren)清(qing)王(wang)(wang)復(fu)元的(de)面目。同(tong)年(nian)8月(yue),徐(xu)子(zi)(zi)興(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)獲得(de)了叛(pan)(pan)(pan)徒(tu)王(wang)(wang)復(fu)元又潛(qian)入青島(dao)的(de)消(xiao)息后,及(ji)時把(ba)這一情報通(tong)知(zhi)了中(zhong)共青島(dao)市委(wei),市委(wei)立(li)即(ji)向(xiang)張(zhang)英(ying)、王(wang)(wang)科(ke)仁(ren)兩(liang)人作了部署。接著,徐(xu)子(zi)(zi)興(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)又通(tong)過(guo)陳少敏向(xiang)市委(wei)轉達了王(wang)(wang)復(fu)元將于同(tong)月(yue)16日下(xia)午6時去山(shan)東路(lu)(現中(zhong)山(shan)路(lu))110號新(xin)盛(sheng)泰(tai)鞋店(dian)的(de)情報。根(gen)據(ju)徐(xu)子(zi)(zi)興(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)的(de)情報,下(xia)午6時,王(wang)(wang)科(ke)仁(ren)在張(zhang)英(ying)的(de)配合下(xia),將大叛(pan)(pan)(pan)徒(tu)王(wang)(wang)復(fu)元擊斃(bi)于新(xin)盛(sheng)泰(tai)鞋店(dian)門口。
王復元被擊斃后,徐(xu)子興首先被敵人懷疑,但由于他從(cong)容鎮(zhen)定,言談行動毫無破綻,騙過了敵人的訊問(wen)。從(cong)1929年夏到1931年春天(tian),他多次向(xiang)黨組織(zhi)報告“捕(bu)共(gong)隊(dui)”的行動計劃,使黨組織(zhi)有所防范,免遭破壞。
1931年(nian)4月,徐(xu)(xu)子興(xing)奉命(ming)去碼頭迎接(jie)中(zhong)共中(zhong)央由(you)上(shang)(shang)海派來的(de)(de)(de)交(jiao)通(tong)員,由(you)于(yu)交(jiao)通(tong)員上(shang)(shang)船(chuan)時,就(jiu)被(bei)(bei)(bei)特務盯哨,所以剛一下船(chuan)與(yu)徐(xu)(xu)子興(xing)接(jie)頭,即被(bei)(bei)(bei)逮捕(bu)。敵(di)人(ren)故意(yi)放過了徐(xu)(xu)子興(xing),意(yi)欲通(tong)過他(ta)(ta)獵取(qu)更(geng)多的(de)(de)(de)線索,但由(you)于(yu)徐(xu)(xu)子興(xing)的(de)(de)(de)行動謹慎,使敵(di)人(ren)毫無所獲(huo)。同月25日(ri)上(shang)(shang)午(wu),敵(di)人(ren)將(jiang)徐(xu)(xu)子興(xing)逮捕(bu)。他(ta)(ta)們施盡酷刑,要他(ta)(ta)供出黨(dang)的(de)(de)(de)機密和擊斃王復元的(de)(de)(de)經過。但他(ta)(ta)回(hui)答的(de)(de)(de)只(zhi)有一句(ju)話“莫名(ming)(ming)其妙”。敵(di)人(ren)把(ba)他(ta)(ta)的(de)(de)(de)妻子、兒(er)子和女(nv)兒(er)捉來一起拷打,他(ta)(ta)的(de)(de)(de)回(hui)答仍是(shi)“莫名(ming)(ming)其妙”。敵(di)人(ren)黔驢(lv)技窮(qiong),只(zhi)好把(ba)他(ta)(ta)押往濟(ji)南(nan)(nan)監(jian)獄(yu)。同年(nian)6月,李(li)毅抱著孩子到濟(ji)南(nan)(nan)探望子興(xing),他(ta)(ta)堅定地告訴(su)妻子:“我活(huo)著是(shi)黨(dang)的(de)(de)(de)人(ren),死了是(shi)黨(dang)的(de)(de)(de)鬼(gui)!”8月19日(ri)黎明(ming),濟(ji)南(nan)(nan)大雨如注,徐(xu)(xu)子興(xing)和21名(ming)(ming)戰友高唱著雄壯的(de)(de)(de)《國際歌》,被(bei)(bei)(bei)敵(di)人(ren)殺害于(yu)濟(ji)南(nan)(nan)千佛山下。
