The starring and supporting roles are played by actors who have appeared in The Long Season. The drama is already guaranteed in terms of acting.
The drama version is different from the movie version. It not only expanded the content, but also modified the setting. The escaped prisoner became Wang Dayong, played by Chen Minghao. Wang Eryong died unexpectedly during the interrogation, causing the captain of the third brigade, Cheng Bing, played by Qin Hao, to serve his sentence in prison. His teammates were also implicated and were dismissed from the police and demoted, and the third brigade fell apart.
After ten years in prison, Cheng Bing regained his freedom, but lost everything. His wife divorced him, and his teammates scattered to make ends meet. But Wang Dayong is still on the run. After Cheng Bing regained his strength, he vowed to catch Wang Dayong, comfort the spirit of Uncle Qi who died in the case, and give an explanation to the victim's family. At the beginning of the
series, the Wang Dayong brothers robbed a local smuggler in the coastal city and stole a gold chain and a standard M9 pistol. After the incident, the two fled back to their hometown of Ningzhou.
At this time, Cheng Bing was leading the Third Brigade to ambush and arrest drug dealers. During the operation, the rookie policewoman Lin Ying, played by Ma Yinyin, acted without permission and was hijacked by the drug dealers. However, she responded quickly and the Third Brigade successfully completed the arrest.
In just one plot, the main members of the three teams were introduced, including Cai Bin played by Lin Jiachuan, Liao Jian played by Li Xiaochuan, Lao Ma played by Fan Lei, and Shi Shi played by Liu Yitie. It was also revealed that Cheng Bing was getting divorced. His wife, Liu Wenfang, played by Tong Liya, has prepared the divorce agreement and is waiting for Cheng Bing to sign it.
Before dinner, because of Lin Ying's performance during the day, Cheng Bing expressed to Uncle Qi, played by Yang Xinming, that he wanted to transfer Lin Ying to the second brigade. Uncle Qi was retiring in one month and just wanted to live in peace. He didn't Agree with Cheng Bing's suggestion and advise him to surrender to his wife.
Everyone was having dinner in the cafeteria. Cheng Bing received a page from Liu Wenfang, saying that if he did not sign the divorce agreement, he would go directly to the court. Cheng Bing called home, but Liu Wenfang pulled out the phone line.
At the same time, Cheng Bing also received a case fax from the two brothers Wang Dayong and learned that the two had committed another crime and had guns in their hands. Cheng Bing communicated with the team members and Lin Ying accurately stated the model and range of the gun.
Not long after, a case of wounding someone with a gun occurred in the city. Cheng Bing led a team there. Through understanding, he found that Wang Eryong wanted to do some health care, but he was jumped by a local gangster, which later led to the shooting. Cheng Bing confirmed that Wang Eryong and his two men were in Ningzhou and led a team to stay at Wang Dayong's hometown. Wang Dayong's mother said nothing, but Cheng Bing learned from Wang Eryong's daughter Miao Miao that the two had worked in Jiangzhou. Miao Miao thought Cheng Bing Bing was his father's friend and asked Cheng Bing to hand over the bracelet he made to Wang Eryong.
Back in the bureau, Pan Dahai, the captain of the Second Brigade, played by Li Naiwen, appeared. Wang Dayong and the two had escaped from the Second Brigade after committing crimes. Pan Dahai wanted to investigate Wang Dayong's case, which attracted sarcasm and an argument from the members of the Third Brigade. Both of them were afraid that Wang Dayong would run away and were unwilling to issue a wanted order. The director decided to give Uncle Qi the control within three days and let the two captains lead their own investigation.
On the other side, Wang Dayong found his friend Liuzi. After settling in, he asked Liuzi to sell the gold chain for money. The owner of the gold shop took the opportunity to lower the price for Liuzi. After receiving the money, Liuzi kept part of it for himself. Wang Dayong still distributed the money to Liuzi and asked him to rent a house in Ping'an Community.
Cheng Bing read the case information and found that Wang Dayong did not grab the cash, so the gold chain became a breakthrough.
found the owner of the gold shop through the platoon, and then caught Liu Zi. Liu Zi confessed about renting a house. Cheng Bing led the team to Ping An Community, but Wang Dayong had never believed Liu Zi and had strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, so he escaped to the next door in advance. After Cheng Bing broke the door and saw that the house was empty, he went to ask the girl next door. He didn't notice that Brother Wang Dayong was hiding on the balcony next door. When Cheng Bing asked the girl to be careful, Pan Dahai called and said that he had found traces of Wang Dayong and the two. Cheng Bing immediately took people to arrest them, but found that they were just two fugitives who looked similar.
The next day, a murder occurred in Ping An Community. Cheng Bing and Pan Dahai came to the scene. When they saw the girl next door lying in a pool of blood, Cheng Bing realized that he had been negligent last night, and he regretted it.
After identification, the girl was brutally murdered after being violated by Wang Eryong. The director summoned Cheng Bing, Qi Shu, Pan Dahai and others to a meeting, reprimanded them to solve the case quickly, and issued a wanted order.
Cheng Bing looked at the case report of the victim girl and wondered why Wang Dayong took the risk and returned to Ningzhou. After the wanted order for
was issued, someone quickly called the police. Cheng Bing discovered the reason why Wang Dayong rented a house in Ping An Community through the traces left by Wang Dayong.
Cheng Bing led a team to arrest the person. At this time, Wang Dayong had completed the plan and drove away. Cheng Bing drove the car to intercept him. During the chase, Wang Dayong asked Wang Eryong to jump out of the car and escape, while he lured the police away. In the end, Wang Dayong escaped, but Wang Eryong was blocked by the crowd with the stolen money.
After the crowd beat Wang Eryong violently, Cheng Bing took Wang Eryong back to the police station. Wang Eryong ate and drank enough and explained how he committed the crime in Ping An Community. During the process, he said that he had a headache and had to go to the hospital, but Cheng Bing did not care.
After Wang Eryong asked for a cigarette, he still provoked the police with arrogant words. It turns out that Wang Dayong has never allowed Wang Eryong to kill people. All the victims in the cases, including the victim girls, were killed by Wang Dayong. Wang Eryong said that he was only raping and could not be sentenced to death. He had the ability to arrest his brother, which led Cheng Bing to beat him, which caused Wang Eryong's old injury and lost his life.
Since then, the story of the three teams has officially unfolded. Cheng Bing's fate has already been explained clearly in the movie, but the addition of the new character Lin Ying will obviously bring more changes to the process of chasing Wang Dayong. Friends who like this movie should look forward to the update of the series.
