Dark Night and Dawn

Plot Synopsis
In 1943, an explosion that shocked Shanghai brought underground Communist Party member Lu Zhengyang ( played by Nie Yuan ) and former policeman Lin Shaobai ( played by Chen Zheyuan ) into their first confrontation, each showing their skills. Six years later, Shanghai was liberated and Lu Zhengyang became a key figure in the anti-espionage front of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau. Faced with the severe anti-espionage situation, Lu Zhengyang, with the support of his superiors, boldly recruited the former policeman Lin Shaobai, who was known as the "Shanghai Know-it-all", after strict screening. The two became partners and successively cracked major cases such as the "vault robbery", "counterfeiting case" and "hidden radio station case" planned by Zheng Lanting ( played by Wang Zhiwen ), a veteran spy of the Shanghai Special Station of the Bureau of Secrets, and completely thwarted the conspiracy of the enemy spies hiding in the dark. In the process of handling the case, Lu Zhengyang and Lin Shaobai went from constant friction to gradually building trust, and finally became comrades-in-arms who shared life and death 

Episode 1
On the eve of Shanghai's liberation in 1949. The Kuomintang's dark rule was about to end, but dawn had not yet arrived. Lin Shaobai, an old policeman from the Shanghai Municipal Police Department, was looking for various ways to hoard rice, flour, vegetables and other daily necessities. He was just a small policeman. No matter who took over the city, he had to maintain the lives of his two mothers - his deceased father's original wife and his biological mother. This was the day for salary payment. On Lin Shaobai's way to work, he saw the whole street was full of chaos as Shanghai fell. Salaries had been in arrears for more than half a year, but what was issued was gold yuan coupons that were like waste paper. Lin Shaobai was so angry that he took his partner Xu Wei to sneak into the warehouse of the police station and took away a lot of good goods, ready to resell them on the black market. At night, Lin Shaobai and Xu Wei came to pick up the goods, just in time for Director Ye Shiwu, who was ordered by Director Mao Sen to secretly massacre underground party members before the fall of Shanghai. The underground party members were ready to die and sang "The Internationale". This scene deeply touched Lin Shaobai, who was peeking. Lin Shaobai and Xu Wei were about to leave secretly, but Ye Shiwu blocked them and forced them to shoot at the underground party members. Since Lin Shaobai and Xu Wei saw them slaughtering the Communists, they would get their hands stained with blood together. At the critical moment, Lin Shaobai shouted to see Director Mao Sen, pretending that he could stay in Shanghai as an undercover agent, but for the sake of innocence, their hands must not be stained with blood. Just as Mao Sen agreed, Xu Wei's gun went off downstairs, and he fired two shots in a row, killing the remaining two Communists for Lin Shaobai.

Episode 2
Lin Shaobai was taken to the Zhabei Power Plant, where he learned that Ye Shiwu was going to blow up the Zhabei Power Plant, and that this required the assistance of Rong Zheng, the chief engineer of the power plant, but the spy who was going to pick up Rong Zheng was late. Ye Shiwu was suspicious, and Lin Shaobai tried to escape but was intercepted. He lied that he was going to pick up the chief engineer and got acquainted with Rong. Rong Zheng was late, and Ye Shiwu was worried that there was a fraud, so he called Lin Shaobai to test him. The two strangers played a trick for their own purposes and hid it from Ye Shiwu. At the same time, Xu Wei returned to the police station to inquire about Lin Shaobai's whereabouts, but was forcibly taken to Zhoushan by Mao Sen. Rong Zheng pretended to go to the toilet to check on Lin Shaobai's movements, and found that Lin Shaobai had opened his handcuffs and was about to escape through the window. Lin Shaobai was worried that Rong Zheng would tell on him, so he prepared to subdue Rong Zheng, but was subdued by the gray-haired old man. Lin Shaobai is sure that Rong Zheng is a Communist in disguise. Rong Zheng once again locks Lin Shaobai in the toilet and warns him to keep his mouth shut if he wants to live. Rong Zheng seizes the opportunity to destroy all the detonators of the explosives. At this time, Ye Shiwu also knows Rong Zheng's true identity through the phone. A gunfight broke out between the two sides. Ye Shiwu was shot dead. Rong Zheng fell into despair. Fortunately, he had the support of Lin Shaobai. On the one hand, he couldn't bear the death of the power plant workers in vain, and on the other hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to make merit and show goodwill to the Communist Party. Hu Zi arrived with a large force, the power plant was liberated, Rong Zheng tore off his disguise, and his true identity was Lu Zhengyang, the head of the Security Section of the Political Department of the Ninth Corps.

Episode 3
Lin Shaobai denied that he had anything to do with the Fuzhou Road explosion four years ago. Lin Shaobai was familiar with interrogation strategies, and the interrogation was at a stalemate. At this time, someone reported that a friend of Lin Shaobai was waiting for him at the Public Security Bureau and would not leave until he saw him. Lu Zhengyang went to meet this friend and found out that it was Jin Yan. Jin Yan used the "Eight Articles of the People's Liberation Army" to demand the release of Lin Shaobai. Lu Zhengyang assured Jin Yan that if Lin Shaobai was really innocent, then the investigation would help him. Lu Zhengyang went to Lin Shaobai's house to investigate the situation. Lin Shaobai's cat got into Lu Zhengyang's car and followed him back to the society. Only then did Lin Shaobai know that the two families did not leave Shanghai by boat. He was no longer fearless and began to explain the whole story of four years ago. At that time, when the Japanese occupied Shanghai, Lin Shaobai and Xu Wei were partners in the police station. They received a call saying that there was a car accident on Fuzhou Road and someone in the car was carrying a gun. The strange thing was that the car accident happened after the two arrived at Fuzhou Road. The two went to the scene of the car accident to check and found Lu Zhengyang and Huzi in the car. The two sides were in a stalemate, and gunshots were heard from the direction of the villa. When Lin Shaobai rushed over, an explosion occurred, and there were bodies and a bloody butterfly knife on the ground. The Japanese military police came to arrest him, and Lin Shaobai immediately fled, but was intercepted by Lu Zhengyang, and the butterfly knife also fell into Lu Zhengyang's hands. Although Lin Shaobai confessed, Lu Zhengyang still believed that he was hiding something and continued to detain him.

Episode 4
When Lu Zhengyang went to question the thief, Lin Shaobai took the opportunity to escape, but when he got home to greet his two mothers and ran away, he found that Lu Zhengyang was waiting for him at home. Seeing that he could not escape from Lu Zhengyang's palm, Lin Shaobai worked hard to investigate the case and confessed that Luo San's most frequented place was the Hollywood Club, a casino. Lin Shaobai used gambling to cause trouble to lead out the club's boss Gu. Boss Gu revealed that Luo San went to a hotel after gambling last night. When the two arrived, they found that Luo San had died tragically in bed. Lin Shaobai asked Jin Yan to help with the autopsy to continue the broken clues. Jin Yan's autopsy found that Luo San was forced to take industrial borax particles and died, and borax is a regular raw material for smelters. Lu Zhengyang concluded that the murderer of the vault robbery would re-melt the gold bars and remove the stamps on the gold bars for easy circulation. After a field visit, Lu Zhengyang locked on the Wu Iron Factory. Zheng Lanting had already set up a trap at the iron factory. Lu Zhengyang noticed that someone was sniping on the roof of Wu's Iron Factory through the abnormal landing points of the flock of birds. He deliberately used the explosion to divert the sniper's attention and let Lao Xu go to the roof to catch the person. In the end, Wang Liqun escaped with injuries. As soon as the fight was over, it was a life-and-death struggle. Lu Zhengyang and Zheng Lanting both understood that the opponent should not be underestimated. Lin Shaobai provided new clues based on his familiarity with Shanghai. After the gold bars were smelted, the spies would exchange them for silver dollars through underground banks. The largest underground bank is the Hollywood Casino.

Episode 5
When Xiao Yun was cleaning the room, he entered the room of Zheng Lanting's ex-wife, where four portraits of Zheng Lanting's ex-wife were placed. In the Fuzhou Road explosion four years ago, Zheng Lanting's pregnant wife was also shot and killed. Xiao Yun was driven out by Zheng Lanting. She knew that she could never replace the position of the master's wife in Zheng Lanting's heart. Lu Zhengyang was going to recruit Lin Shaobai to join the social department as a non-staff member. After a lot of bargaining, Lin Shaobai finally refused on the grounds of fear of death. Lu Zhengyang simply let him go. This was the instruction of Deputy Director Yang. He would not admit it without ironclad evidence. He had to change his tactics, loose outside and tight inside, so as not to worry that he would not reveal flaws. When Zheng Lanting met Mao Sen, he proposed the "Overthrow Plan" to disrupt Shanghai, and the trump card was the bacterial weapon in Ogura's hand. Mao Sen hurriedly distanced himself from the matter, but Zheng Lanting said that the winner was not to be blamed. When the day came to throw out the trump card, Zheng Lanting had nothing to do with any organization. Mao Sen then agreed to hand over the list of spies lurking in Shanghai to Zheng Lanting, with the additional condition that his secretary Liu Guiheng would assist him in the radio station, which was actually responsible for surveillance. At this time, gunshots rang out, and Xu Wei, who had been waiting for the opportunity, escaped to the island. When boarding the ship to leave the island, Zheng Lanting knew that Xu Wei was hiding on the ship but did not report him, but took him back to Shanghai. In the cooperation four years ago, Zheng Lanting knew that Xu Wei was a rough diamond with excellent skills and scheming. As long as he was carefully polished, he might become his right-hand man.

Episode 6
Jin Yan took the initiative to apply to join the Public Security Bureau and officially become a forensic doctor. In front of her mother's grave, Jin Yan talked to Lin Shaobai about her mother's past. Jin Yan's mother used her body to bring out the bacterial samples developed by the Japanese, helped her colleagues develop antidotes, and saved countless people. So Jin Yan believed that the corpse would speak, and from then on she was determined to be a forensic doctor. Jin Yan asked Lin Shaobai if he still remembered his original intention of becoming a policeman? Lin Shaobai avoided her gaze and said that he had forgotten it long ago. But Jin Yan saw the unwillingness in his eyes. Xu Wei secretly went home to visit his wife Zhao Lan, but the police came to question him about his whereabouts, so he had to hide again. A few days later, Xu Wei couldn't help but go to the Conkering counter to meet Zhao Lan. Zheng Lanting happened to come to buy a pen, and Xu Wei was horrified. After he secretly met Zhao Lan and reported that he was safe, he asked Zhao Lan to keep his meeting with him secret, and then left in a hurry. Xu Wei followed Zheng Lanting to the Lanting studio and warned him that his family was the bottom line. Zheng Lanting pointed out a clear path for him, that only by cooperating with him could he protect his family's safety. Xu Wei had no choice but to obey. Wang Liqun arranged a new identity for him at the dock. The news was on the radio, and the new government invited many industrial and commercial representatives to attend a symposium to work together to restore and develop Shanghai's economy. The Shanghai Special Station also began to take action. Zheng Lanting forced Dr. Ogura, who had been under house arrest four years ago, to speed up the research on biological weapons. Ogura proposed that as long as the research conditions were met, it could be completed within half a year.

Episode 7
Lin Shaobai, who came to report, was the first to enter the crime scene. He found a peace charm belonging to Xu Wei under the sofa and hid it secretly. Lu Zhengyang arrived and drove him out of the scene. He led people to investigate the factory and found that Jin Maochang and Manager Liu had always had old grudges over the ownership of the factory. Lin Shaobai, who came to cooperate with the inquiry, wanted to participate in solving the case and clear the suspicion for Lao Jin, but was rejected by Lu Zhengyang. Since the case involved his father Jin Maochang, Jin Yan had to avoid it. But Liu Rui from the forensic department was inexperienced and had to secretly ask Jin Yan for help, but was caught by Lu Zhengyang. Jin Yan proposed a workaround. In order to ensure the objectivity and fairness of the autopsy, Lu Zhengyang supervised the whole process. Lu Zhengyang agreed. By analyzing the activities of Manager Liu in recent days, Lu Zhengyang found that reporters took a lot of photos on the day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, including a picture of Xu Wei staring at Manager Liu. In another photo, Xu Wei walked towards a car on the side of the road. The person in the car was unclear, but he could be seen playing with a butterfly knife with his left hand. At this time, Jin Yan's autopsy results came out, and the murderer was left-handed. On the other side, Lin Shaobai was also looking for witnesses. He accidentally confirmed from the newspaper boy that Xu Wei had an argument with another person near the Jin's Cotton Mill on the night of the murder. Lu Zhengyang recalled that the murderer of the villa on Fuzhou Road four years ago and the murderer who sniped at him at the Wu's Iron Factory were both left-handed. Lin Shaobai arrived and slapped Wang Liqun's portrait on the table. It was him.

Episode 8
Lin Shaobai was late for work on his first day and was punished by Lu Zhengyang to write a self-criticism. Newcomer Cen Xiaoman also reported in. Both of them were assigned new police uniforms, but due to confidentiality, they could only wear them when they were awarded for meritorious service or sacrificed. Everyone looked serious and understood the responsibilities and significance of their duties. For Jin Yan's safety, Jin Maochang pretended to be sick and tricked Jin Yan to come to the dock to send her abroad. But Wang Liqun arrived first and warned that it would be easier to attack Jin Yan abroad. Jin Maochang had no choice but to give up the plan to send Jin Yan abroad and negotiated with Wang Liqun that he could cooperate, but he had to solve Liu Xisheng, his competitor for the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce for the Military. Liu Xisheng was soon involved in a sex scandal and withdrew from the competition for the chairmanship. Jin Maochang also established a sugar research center as agreed, which was actually a cover for Xiaocang's bacterial weapons research. Secretly, Jin Maochang contacted the top killer Jiang Yang and ordered him to find and kill Wang Liqun and his superiors. Lin Shaobai was tormented by reading so many files. Cen Xiaoman, who was good at speed reading, soon found valuable clues. The spy holding the butterfly knife had used the alias "Chen Yingwu" to fight and injure people in the casino during the Japanese puppet period. The person who bailed him out was a businessman named Li Qian, whose registered address was on the file. Lu Zhengyang ordered to arrest Li Qian immediately.

Episode 9
Lu Zhengyang agreed to Lin Shaobai's ticket-getting business, but asked him to change his habit of being late. Wang Liqun went to the Xianlemen Ballroom with US dollars and went to Dai Yueqing to ask for cooperation with the Bureau of Secrets. Dai Yueqing accepted the money but drove Wang Liqun away. Wang Liqun had no place to vent his anger and forced the dancer Lin Li to perform. After being humiliated, Lin Li accidentally discovered that Wang Liqun was a hidden spy and was silenced by Wang Liqun. Xu Wei was then called to help deal with the body. Xiao Yun came on behalf of Zheng Lanting to inquire about the progress of cooperation with the Hand Hook Gang. Xu Wei reiterated his suggestion to help the Hand Hook Gang in the fight, and Wang Liqun was extremely annoyed that Xu Wei stole his limelight. Xiao Yun asked Wang Liqun to deal with the body and not to act again without Zheng Lanting's order. Lu Zhengyang got two tickets for "White Haired Girl" for Lin Shaobai. Lin Shaobai gave him a thumbs up and lamented that Old Lu had a wide range of connections and a big face. Everyone also asked Director Lu for tickets. Lu Zhengyang agreed to give two tickets to each person after the case was solved. Later, Hu Zi told Lin Shaobai that the director would not make special arrangements, and he had waited in line outside the theater all night to buy the tickets. The criminal police team received a dismemberment case. Since the place where the case occurred and Wang Liqun, who was being pursued by the Social Affairs Department, were both in Putuo, the Social Affairs Department and the criminal police team worked together to handle the case. Lin Shaobai and Jin Yan deduced through the autopsy that the deceased was a dancer. Captain Zhang of the criminal police team praised Lin Shaobai's brilliant analysis and tried to poach her in front of Lu Zhengyang, but was rejected by Lu Zhengyang.

Episode 10
Zheng Lanting telegraphed Wang Liqun that the dancer case had occurred, and asked him to stop contacting Dai Yueqing and immediately abandon the safe house in Putuo. Wang Liqun was furious and asked Jin Maochang for money, which was transferred to the account of HSBC Bank. Jiang Yang got through the internal relationship of the bank, bit the spy who came to withdraw money, and tracked all the way to Wang Liqun's Hongda Department Store. Jin Maochang asked Jiang Yang not to take action for the time being, and continue to dig deep into the people behind Wang Liqun. Lao Xu visited the landlord of Wang Liqun's safe house and learned that he used the alias Yang Jun. When he left, he said he was going to Xuzhou, but the traces on the telegram paper in the room showed that he was going to Hangzhou. Just when he was about to send people to Hangzhou to arrest him, Lu Zhengyang found that the radio wires were not covered with dust, and the electricity consumption of the electric meter was very low. The radio was obviously newly equipped, and going to Hangzhou was the second smoke bomb. Lu Zhengyang asked everyone to continue to check the permanent residents nearby. Lin Shaobai found Lin Li's dancer license and found out that she worked at the Xianlemen Ballroom. At the same time, Lu Zhengyang found a bone-setting clinic that Wang Liqun often visited. Master Zhao's son was drafted and there was no news. Master Zhao thought he was beaten to death by the People's Liberation Army and refused to cooperate with the police. Lu Zhengyang deduced that Lao Zhao's son was probably not dead, and immediately contacted the army to confirm. Lin Shaobai found the Xianlemen Ballroom and confirmed that Lin Li was finally taken away by Wang Liqun. The boss remembered Wang Liqun's dress very clearly. It was the work of a Red Gang tailor and was newly made. Lin Shaobai followed this line and began to check the tailor shop.

Episode 11
Following Jin Maochang's order, Jiang Yang took his subordinate A Kui to rent a house opposite the hospital, set up a sniper rifle, and faced the ward with closed curtains, ready to wait until Wang Liqun was discharged before taking action. Xiao Yun went to the hospital to scout the area and prepare for the rescue of Wang Liqun. She pretended to ask for directions and found out the number of plainclothes officers. Unfortunately, she ran into Lin Shaobai. Lin Shaobai followed all the way and found that Xiao Yun had gone to see a doctor for stomach problems. After Xiao Yun left, he asked the doctor and found out that the previous patient did have stomach problems, which dispelled his suspicion. The hospital was heavily guarded, and Zheng Lanting decided to use Xu Wei, who was also an old policeman and was relatively familiar with public security work. Lin Shaobai took some money raised by Jin Yan and the social department to comfort the parents of the murdered dancer. Xu Wei found Lao Bai, who was addicted to opium, and prepared to use him in the operation to rescue Wang Liqun. On the way to the toilet, Wang Liqun saw the hidden message on the slogan by the spy Yang Hui and stopped the hunger strike. During the second interrogation, Lu Zhengyang told Wang Liqun that his superior had killed his brother Wang Liheng in order to fight for power. Wang Liqun's psychological defenses began to collapse, but he was still holding on. Lin Shaobai brought the parents of the murdered dancer Zhao Wangju to her residence. At this time, the newspaper sent a letter of employment to Zhao Wangju. It turned out that Wangju had been trying to jump out of the sea of ​​fire, but was killed by Wang Liqun just before she succeeded. Lin Shaobai completely lost control, rushed to the hospital to send everyone away, and forced Wang Liqun to confess by injecting bromine water into the infusion bottle.

Episode 12
The transfer took place in the second half of the night. Suddenly, gunshots rang out from a street corner. Jiang Yang and A Kui, who had been watching the hospital, also rushed over upon hearing the noise, waiting for an opportunity to shoot Wang Liqun. In the chaos, Wang Liqun held Jin Yan hostage. Xu Wei took the opportunity to take Wang Liqun away on a motorcycle. Until this moment, Wang Liqun was still humiliating Xu Wei, and Xu Wei endured it again and again. Jiang Yang, who happened to be chasing him, hit Wang Liqun when he was beating Xu Wei. Xu Wei saw that Wang Liqun could not escape, so he decisively shot him to death and fled. Lu Zhengyang found the shell of a shrapnel bullet at the scene, and inferred that the person who fired the gun was to kill Wang Liqun, and it was a mysterious third party. Xu Wei went back to report to Zheng Lanting, and gave a sufficient reason for killing Wang Liqun, that is, he had begun to doubt whether Zheng Lanting was the real murderer who killed his brother that year. Zheng Lanting let Xu Wei go, and admired his decisiveness even more, and thought of letting him replace Wang Liqun as the captain of the action team. The leakage of the transfer route indicated the existence of an insider. During the transfer of Wang Liqun, Lin Shaobai was in solitary confinement and was the least likely to leak the transfer route. Lu Zhengyang asked Deputy Director Yang to let Lin Shaobai cooperate with him in the internal audit. Lin Shaobai flipped through the book "On the People's Democratic Dictatorship". Chairman Mao's words gradually touched him. He understood that the people's country protects the people. Lin Shaobai turned over and wrote the word "review" on the paper. Lu Zhengyang let him go. Lin Shaobai learned that Wang Liqun was killed and blamed Lu Zhengyang, but finally decided to conduct a joint internal audit.

Episode 13
The cryptographer deciphered the code on the slogan and waited for rescue. According to the hospital, the slogan was painted by Lanting Studio. Deputy Director Yang ordered an arrest. When everyone came to Zheng Lanting in full gear, they saw that he was defenseless and looked like an ordinary citizen. Zheng Lanting and Xiao Yun performed flawlessly during the interrogation and pushed the matter of repairing the hospital slogan onto Yang Hui and Li Xu. Lin Shaobai and Cen Xiaoman visited the teachers and students of Minli Primary School and found that Zheng Lanting was an honest and timid person. Lu Zhengyang first let Xiao Yun return to Lanting Studio for normal business, and then arrested Li Xu and Yang Hui when they came to work. Li Xu was arrested quickly. According to his recollection, it was Yang Hui who called to go to the hospital to touch up the color, but lied to his boss that he was going to the soap company to deliver the pattern. Yang Hui was late to come to the studio, and Lu Zhengyang took people to his residence but found that it was empty. The residence was clean and tidy, which showed that Yang Hui was a rigorous person. In fact, this was a false illusion set up in advance by Xiao Yun at the instruction of Zheng Lanting. Lu Zhengyang found a code book on the leaves of the ceiling fan and immediately sent it to the eavesdropping department to decipher it. Xiao Yun tried to pass a message to Yang Hui, asking him to make a big fuss outside so that Zheng Lanting could come out faster. In fact, Zheng Lanting had long planned to use Yang Hui as a cannon fodder for him. Lin Shaobai and Lu Zhengyang decided to stage a play to test Zheng Lanting. Lin Shaobai pretended that Xiao Yun had brought food, and Zheng Lanting found a piece of soap and a note in the bowl while eating, so he was asked to swallow it and pretend to be sick and wait for rescue.

Episode 14
After Xu Wei got a positive answer, he went straight to Liu Guiheng's Xiya Watch Shop and subdued Liu Guiheng and his clerk Xiao Si by force. Zheng Lanting learned that the transfer was imminent, and he was extremely anxious because he didn't know what the situation was outside. The train rumbled forward, and Yang Hui had already ambushed along the line with people trying to blow up the tracks, waiting for the train to approach and detonate. Just as Yang Hui was about to detonate, Xu Wei suddenly came on a motorcycle and desperately held Yang Hui hostage to stop the explosion. The train rumbled by, and Zheng Lanting finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Shaobai and Lu Zhengyang still had some doubts about Zheng Lanting. At this time, the Interception Department intercepted the secret telegram of the Security Bureau, and the spies would assassinate people in the industry that night. Lu Zhengyang took the lead and the spies were completely defeated. The captured spies were members of the Anti-Communist National Salvation Army organized by Yang Hui, and identified Yang Hui as the station chief of the Shanghai Special Station. The next night he would meet with the Anti-Communist National Salvation Army at Qiujiang Wharf. Deputy Director Yang personally took charge and led Lin Shaobai and other soldiers of our side to disguise themselves as anti-communist national salvation army and meet with Yang Hui. Lu Zhengyang and the water police intercepted on the river to be prepared. Facing our offensive, Yang Hui wavered. Xu Wei fired a shot in secret. Yang Hui mistakenly thought that it was the police who did it, and immediately fought back, but was killed on the spot by Lin Shaobai. That shot was not fired by our side, it was very likely done by a spy. All of this was arranged by Xiao Yun in advance by Xu Wei to do so that Yang Hui would die at the right time.

Episode 15
For Mao Sen's sake, Zheng Lanting beat Liu Guiheng and then released him, solemnly announcing in front of him that Xu Wei was the new falcon. Xu Wei received rare respect and was satisfied, but he didn't know that this was Zheng Lanting's way of controlling him. Lin Shaobai made meritorious contributions in the operation of arresting Yang Hui, and was officially hired. Lin Shaobai was very happy. The Social Affairs Department organized the first dinner, and Lin Shaobai toasted one by one. In the clash of wine glasses, in addition to jokes, there was more comradeship that settled down. Although they didn't get along for a long time, the Social Affairs Department has become a big family of unity and friendship. One side is true love, and the other side is false righteousness. Zheng Lanting personally cooked and arranged a family dinner to entertain Xu Wei. During the meal, Zheng Lanting called Xu Wei a brother in distress, further winning over Xu Wei's heart. Zheng Lanting knew that Xu Wei's knot was his former brother Lin Shaobai, but Xu Wei immediately drew a line. Lin Shaobai spoke the truth after drinking, and kept talking about his past with Xu Wei. Fate played tricks on them. In just a few months, the two had become enemies with different positions. The big compradors and speculators entrenched in Shanghai, using the Shanghai Stock Exchange as their base, set off a "silver dollar trend" and openly clamored that "the People's Liberation Army can enter Shanghai, but the RMB cannot." This provided an opportunity for Zheng Lanting's next plan. He put the counterfeit currency plan on the agenda. He wanted to make the RMB lose its credibility in Shanghai, and the Shanghai economy would collapse.

Episode 16
Jin Maochang convened industrialists to discuss how to deal with the silver dollar craze. Zheng Lanting was eavesdropping next door to find out the attitudes of the industrialists. The industrialists headed by Gao Huaipu were pro-communist, and were recorded by Zheng Lanting. Major banks have successively discovered counterfeit money. The Social Affairs Department immediately launched an investigation. In order to trace the source of counterfeit money as quickly as possible, Lin Shaobai proposed to disguise himself as another group of counterfeit money dealers, break into the enemy's business chain, and let the real criminals come to the door. This is a strange move, but also a risky move. Deputy Director Yang finally agreed and asked them to find the source of counterfeit money as soon as possible. Under Zheng Lanting's operation, the news of the flood of counterfeit money spread like a river that broke its dam and could not be stopped. At the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the RMB plummeted as soon as it opened. The East China Bureau sent the highest instructions to immediately seal off the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the headquarters of speculation. Lu Zhengyang analyzed that the purpose of the counterfeit money makers was not to make a fortune, but to attack the credit of the RMB, which was a typical spy behavior. In the process of luring the counterfeiters, Lin Shaobai took risks and lured the snake out of its hole. He caught a link in the counterfeit money transaction, and the Hand Hook Gang also took action against him. Lin Shaobai fell into the hands of the Hand Hook Gang's big bearded man. The big bearded man tortured him severely and forced him to tell the details of his "colleague". Lin Shaobai was full of nonsense and provided information about his superior, nicknamed "Sick Vimo".

Episode 17
Xu Wei was called by the bearded man to confront Lin Shaobai. Xu Wei denied knowing Lin Shaobai and gave him a wire by beating Lin Shaobai. The bearded man asked Xu Wei to take a letter to Shrike and asked to meet for confrontation. After Xu Wei left, Lin Shaobai used the wire to open the chain, but was still discovered by the bearded man when he escaped. Xu Wei hid in the dark and covered Lin Shaobai's escape with firepower. The brothers reunited, but the taste changed. Lin Shaobai wanted to persuade Xu Wei to turn back, but was driven away by the ruthless Xu Wei. Lu Zhengyang and Hu Zi investigated in many ways and found that they were near Taipingli. They ran into Lin's mother. The two were unable to explain to her where Lin Shaobai was for a while. At this time, the eldest wife sent a message that Lin Shaobai had just called and would not go home for the next two days because he had to work overtime. The two were stunned. Lin Shaobai is back? At this time, Lin Shaobai was shaving leisurely in the barber shop. Lu Zhengyang confirmed again and again that Lin Shaobai was fine before he was relieved. After escaping from the jaws of death this time, Lin Shaobai brought back key intelligence, confirming that the spies were working with a gang and using them to circulate counterfeit currency. As for which gang it was, there was only one clue - Shrimp Dumpling. Lin Shaobai decided to visit Master Qin, the boss of all the gangs in Shanghai, the founder of the Green and Red Gangs, who has now retired and is working with the Communist Party. Master Qin's disciples ripped off Lin Shaobai's clothes, looked at the wound on his stomach, and came to a definite conclusion - the Hook Gang, Dai Yueqing. Lu Zhengyang guessed that Lin Shaobai was saved by Xu Wei, and told him not to act on his emotions. Lin Shaobai promised to catch him himself. Xu Wei was...

Episode 18
Lu Zhengyang and others have already investigated Dai Yueqing. If they move her rashly, they are afraid that it will alert the enemy. Lin Shaobai suggested that Qin Ye invite her to have tea. As soon as Dai Yueqing sat down, she found that Qin Ye's house was full of police. Lin Shaobai and Lu Zhengyang hoped that she could help the police, and Dai Yueqing pretended to agree. She made an appointment with Shrike to meet the next day, but deliberately told Lu Zhengyang that it would be the day after tomorrow. That night, Dai Yueqing quietly escaped after Lu Zhengyang "slept soundly", and Lu Zhengyang followed all the way to the church. Dai Yueqing must get the copper plate before escaping, but she didn't know that Xu Wei had ambushed him in advance. Xu Wei sat in the confessional as Shrike, and Dai Yueqing judged that the other party had no sincerity to hand over the bottom plate. The two sides exchanged fire, and Lu Zhengyang led people to rush in to encircle. Dai Yueqing couldn't bear to see his brothers die, so he put down his gun and surrendered. Xu Wei threw a grenade to kill Dai Yueqing. In the end, the big bearded man escaped and Dai Yueqing was arrested. While chasing Xu Wei, Lin Shaobai accidentally let him escape, but he found the driver's license left by Xu Wei at the scene. When Lu Zhengyang was on the move, he saw a familiar figure on the street corner - Zheng Lanting. How did he appear nearby? Zheng Lanting explained that he was visiting a student's home. Lu Zhengyang took him back to the Public Security Bureau on the grounds that the Public Security Bureau had a business of propaganda posters that they wanted to introduce to him, but in fact he was taking the opportunity to keep him under custody; Lin Shaobai went to the student's home to verify the truth of Zheng Lanting's words

Episode 19
The interrogation of Dai Yueqing must make a breakthrough as soon as possible. Lin Shaobai deceived Dai Yueqing that Yingshuan had found Tong Susu a few days ago. In order to make Tong Susu completely safe, the only way is to completely eradicate Shrike and Shanghai Special Station. For the sake of the child, Dai Yueqing began to cooperate and gave out the address of the counterfeit currency factory. Soon, Xiao Yun from the counterfeit currency factory also received a warning from Zheng Lanting and immediately ordered a transfer. But it was too late, and the soldiers from the Social Affairs Department had already attacked. In the end, the counterfeit currency factory was destroyed, the master printing machine was seized, and Xiao Yun escaped alone. Lu Zhengyang was injured in the leg to cover Lin Shaobai. The counterfeit currency case came to an end, and the credit of the RMB stabilized. The big bearded man contacted the heads of the hand hook gang to gather, but few heads responded. The big bearded man asked them to lie dormant for a while and wait for the opportunity to welcome back Dai Boss. Wu Lao San was so treacherous that he turned around and told Xu Wei about the gathering of the Hand Hook Gang. It turned out that Xu Wei bribed Wu Lao San and asked him to keep a close eye on the big bearded man, waiting for the opportunity to integrate the remnants of the Hand Hook Gang for the Shanghai Special Station in the future. Lu Zhengyang, who was injured in the leg, asked Lin Shaobai to pick up someone - Feihang. At the train station, Feihang checked Lin Shaobai's ID like a little adult before leaving with him. Lin Shaobai found that Feihang was independent and ambitious. He learned from Lu Zhengyang that Feihang was the child of Wen Tian and his wife, and had been raised by Lu Zhengyang all these years.

Episode 20
After Xu Wei ran away, Lin Shaobai was speechless and was put in solitary confinement again. Lu Zhengyang still wanted to help Lin Shaobai. He took the opportunity to give Deputy Director Yang a bath and said all the good things, and even vouched for him. Deputy Director Yang also valued talent, and finally Lin Shaobai was transferred to the police pigeon unit to feed pigeons. After Xu Wei narrowly escaped death, he was too ashamed to see Zheng Lanting again. Zheng Lanting asked him to shoot himself. Xu Wei shot and found that the magazine was empty, and then Li Xu put a hood on him. When he saw the light again, he saw Zhao Lan who was taking care of the baby in the countryside. He thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect to be able to reunite with Zhao Lan, and he was even more devoted to Zheng Lanting. When he heard that he had to go to the police pigeon unit, Lin Shaobai was a hundred times unwilling, but when he heard that he would be expelled if he didn't go, he immediately became cowardly. Knowing that Lu Zhengyang had lost face and pleaded for him, Lin Shaobai didn't say it, but he had already recognized Lao Lu in his heart. Feihang fainted at the school gate. Lu Zhengyang rushed to the hospital as soon as he got the news, and then he learned that it was Zheng Lanting who sent him to the hospital in time. Feihang has a congenital heart disease. Zheng Lanting asked Lu Zhengyang why he didn't inform the school in advance about the child's physical condition. Lu Zhengyang apologized for a while, wondering if it was Zheng Lanting's plan. He asked about the details before and after Feihang's illness and found that it was just a coincidence. The hospital sent news that anthrax cases were found again. One of the cases even worked at Jin's Sugar Factory. Jin Yan went to the sugar factory to find the source of infection. The manager of the sugar factory, Li Yuquan, urgently notified Xiaocang to implement the concealed plan. Fortunately, there was no danger in the end.

Episode 21
Jin Yan went to the pigeon station to see Lin Shaobai. Lin Shaobai was still unconvinced and said that although he was in the police pigeon unit, he could still solve major cases. Let Lu Zhengyang take a look. Jin Yan basically determined through the test report that the source of anthrax contamination was near the sugar factory. When Jin Maochang learned about this, he immediately notified Xu Wei. Xu Wei assured him that everything would be arranged properly. At the same time, Jiang Yang had found out that the shrike was Zheng Lanting. Jin Maochang decided to take action. Jiang Yang pretended to be a cloth merchant to order a sign at Lanting Studio. After discussing with Zheng Lanting, everything seemed to be going well. Zheng Lanting quietly tested Jiang Yang, and he keenly felt a hint of danger. At the instruction of Zheng Lanting, Jin Maochang arranged for Xu Wei to be an administrator in a warehouse at a remote dock. Xu Wei asked Jin Maochang to grasp the whereabouts of pro-communist industrialists such as Gao Huaipu as soon as possible. Jin Maochang lent Xu Wei documents and materials to find out that they were going to kidnap this group of pro-communist industrialists. Jin Maochang asked to be kidnapped, otherwise it would easily arouse suspicion. On the other hand, Jin Maochang met with Jiang Yang and decided to take action against Zheng Lanting and others after Jin Maochang was kidnapped by Xu Wei, thus finding a perfect alibi for himself. Xu Wei led people to pretend to be PLA soldiers and quickly kidnapped progressive industrialists including Jin Maochang. When the industrialists who were trapped in the truck saw Xu Wei kill the PLA soldiers who were checking at the intersection, they suddenly realized that the people who kidnapped them were spies.

Episode 22
Lu Zhengyang led people to investigate the source of these photo papers and locked his sights on Master Qi of Yaohua Photo Studio. After interrogation, Master Qi admitted that the photo papers in the store were stolen. After verification, Lu Zhengyang confirmed that Xu Wei used the photo to delay Master Qi that night, creating an opportunity for his accomplices to steal the photo papers. At this time, Xu Wei asked the industrialists to write down the routes and call signs of each ship. Those who did not cooperate were tortured immediately. Gao Huaipu suffered an asthma attack in fear and was relieved after taking special medicine. Seeing that everyone's life was hanging by a thread, Jin Maochang had to take the lead and write down the routes and call signs. Everyone had to follow suit and write down the routes and call signs. The family members of the kidnapped industrialists cried at the door of the Public Security Bureau. Lin Shaobai found that Gao Shaochun, the son of Gao Huaipu who was kidnapped, was not right. Lin Shaobai found out that Gao Shaochun was not in a hurry, and even had the leisure to play mahjong with Lin's mother. It turned out that Gao Shaochun was kicked out of the house by his father Gao Huaipu because he was not doing his job properly. Lin Shaobai felt that there must be something hidden, so he asked his mother to invite Gao Huaipu out to play mahjong again, taking the opportunity to explore clues. Master Qi, who came back from the Public Security Bureau, hanged himself in the photo studio the next day. Everyone talked about it and said that the public security had forced people to death. Lu Zhengyang, Jin Yan and others rushed to the photo studio. After a preliminary autopsy, they concluded that Master Qi was killed and then hanged, faking the illusion of suicide. Lu Zhengyang found fine sand again on Master Qi's collar and the hemp rope used for hanging.

Episode 23
Jiang Yang went to Lanting Studio alone, but was knocked unconscious by the tea handed by Xiao Yun. It turned out that when Jiang Yang came to the studio for the first time as a cloth boss, Zheng Lanting's casual question about the color of the cloth exposed Jiang Yang. Jiang Yang fell into the hands of the Shrike with hatred, but he refused to reveal the mastermind behind it. Zheng Lanting had long guessed that it was the old fox Jin Maochang who did it, so he took Jiang Yang to find Jin Maochang and took the opportunity to beat him. Zheng Lanting and Jin Maochang set a dead rule that once he got into trouble, whether it was related to Jin Maochang or not, he would be buried with him, and forced Jin Maochang to bury Jiang Yang alive with his own hands. Lu Zhengyang led people to investigate the source of the sand and find the hiding place of the spies. For this reason, Deputy Director Yang specially selected elites from the anti-espionage, criminal investigation, archives, transportation, water police and other departments to form a special task force, with Lu Zhengyang as the team leader, in order to solve the case as soon as possible. Lin Shaobai found out the whereabouts of the spy by checking the special medicine that Gao Huaipu needed, and used the police pigeon to urgently notify Lu Zhengyang who was investigating outside. Lin Shaobai therefore joined the special case team, and the clues he found narrowed the scope again, and this area coincided with the place where the Shougou Gang started. Lin Shaobai and Lu Zhengyang thought of Dai Yueqing almost at the same time. She knew best where the tricks were in the Shougou Gang's nest. Dai Yueqing agreed to cooperate, but she had to go to the gang members in person. If the public security came forward to find them, they might not help, and they might even leak the news. She hoped to strive for the opportunity to reduce her sentence by meritorious service.

Episode 24
Dai Yueqing was very alert. She planned to get rid of Lu Zhengyang and Lin Shaobai, and took Cen Xiaoman hostage and drove away. In order to find out where Dai Yueqing was, Lu Zhengyang immediately sent someone to find Dai Yueqing's son Tong Susu. If Dai Yueqing wanted to escape, she would not be able to avoid seeing her son for the last time. At the same time, all the files of the Hand Hook Gang were transferred. If she wanted to escape, she would definitely ask the old subordinates for help. Lao Chen from the Archives Department noticed something was wrong. Taking the opportunity of sending the files, he keenly guessed that Dai Yueqing had escaped while assisting in the case, and immediately reported the situation to Shrike. Dai Yueqing could not stay. Xu Wei found out about Tong Susu's situation and immediately sent someone to kidnap Tong Susu and force Dai Yueqing to show up. At this time, Lu Zhengyang, Lin Shaobai, Axiang and others were also secretly guarding Tong Susu. In order to protect Tong Susu, Axiang was shot in the chest and was rushed to the hospital. Dai Yueqing summoned old subordinates such as Big Beard and asked them to find the place where the spies detained the industrialists. Dai Yueqing actually wanted to lure out the snake. She knew that some of her old subordinates must have defected to Yingshuan. They would go to inform Yingshuan, and they would definitely find him by following them. Soon, Dai Yueqing's confidant Da Huzi found out that Wu Laosan was abnormal. Dai Yueqing used herself as bait to lure out Wu Laosan and subdued him unexpectedly. Cen Xiaoman moved him with emotion and reason, and Wu Laosan finally gave in. Xu Wei was in Gaoqiao Shanhuang Village near the sea.

Episode 25
The war of rice and cotton has not ended. The Central Finance Committee decided to urgently mobilize a large number of grain, cotton yarn and coal from all over the country to Shanghai and concentrate them to defeat speculators with absolute economic strength. The Shanghai Public Security Bureau must ensure the absolute safety of these materials and provide strong support for this war of rice and cotton. When Lin Shaobai took Tong Susu to the hospital to visit Axiang, he deliberately passed by the female prisoners who were clearing weeds in the suburbs. Dai Yueqing was among them. She saw her son smiling at her from a distance and shed tears silently. Lin Shaobai asked Lu Zhengyang and Deputy Director Yang to launch a just public opinion war. Let everyone know the true face of Shrike who betrayed his own people, and use this to publicize our policy, "the main culprit must be dealt with, the coerced followers will not be questioned, and the meritorious service will be rewarded", to further divide and disintegrate those spies. As soon as our public opinion war was launched, many hidden spies surrendered. Xu Wei was almost caught while hiding on the streets. Zheng Lanting suppressed his anger, and the current trick was more like a trick played by Lin Shaobai. Jiang Yang's younger brother A Kui came to Jin Maochang to inquire about his brother's whereabouts. Jin Maochang could only tell A Kui that Jiang Yang was killed by Shrike. Jin Maochang comforted A Kui, who was determined to take revenge, and asked him to work in the factory. He would contact him when needed, and one day he would make Shrike pay double. Lu Zhengyang formally asked Lin Shaobai to return to the society, but Lin Shaobai refused. No one knew what Lin Shaobai was up to.

Episode 26
Lin Shaobai refused to return to the second room. Lu Zhengyang deliberately provoked him by using the newly transferred Li Yaohong. Lin Shaobai told the truth. From Bai Qingfang's death and the leakage of Wang Liqun's transfer route, it was more certain this time that the traitor was in the special task force to rescue the industrialist. Lin Shaobai hoped that he could relax the traitor's vigilance and investigate better by being in the police pigeon unit. Seeing that Lu Zhengyang was too busy recently and had no time to take care of Feihang, Lin Shaobai simply took Feihang home to let his two mothers help take care of him. Lu Zhengyang was grateful. Lu Zhengyang and Li Yaohong discovered the correlation between the actions of different spies by analyzing and comparing the confessions of a large number of spies, and then analyzed that the next move of Shrike was likely to destroy the warehouse where the materials were stored. Among the spies who surrendered, there was an external spy named Liang Yunda, who was asked by his superiors to purchase white phosphorus. Lu Zhengyang designed to use Liang Yunda in reverse, asking him to contact his superiors in the name of handing over white phosphorus. During the operation, Lao Chen learned that Liang Yunda had been taken away and urgently contacted Xu Wei. Xu Wei stopped Liu Guiheng from making contact and took the opportunity to seize power from Liu Guiheng. Lu Zhengyang's trap failed, and it was obvious that the letter was sent by an insider. Lin Shaobai suggested that he was from the police pigeon unit and it would not attract attention if he investigated. So Lin Shaobai pretended to be a college student who wrote letters for dock workers and inquired about the abnormalities at the dock.

Episode 27
After hearing the situation reported by Xu Wei, Zheng Lanting asked Xu Wei to immediately arrange the white phosphorus incendiary bomb and personally put an end to Lin Shaobai. Lu Zhengyang received the news from the police pigeon, but could not find any trace of Lin Shaobai. Lu Zhengyang learned that the spy was going to blow up the warehouse, and immediately took action to stop the spy. Lin Shaobai was imprisoned and heard the sound of pigeons. He called twice and saw the police pigeons flying over. He wrote down the address where he was imprisoned and asked the police pigeons to pass the message back. Xu Wei came with the four kings, and Lin Shaobai knew that this was the last meal of execution. The more Lin Shaobai persuaded Xu Wei, the more he found that Xu Wei took this path, and in the final analysis, he wanted to use money and status to exchange for dignity for himself. Looking at the distorted Xu Wei, Lin Shaobai told him that the real dignity was to stand up on his own. Xu Wei argued speechlessly and raised his gun at Lin Shaobai. At this moment, Lu Zhengyang arrived with his men. It was the police pigeon that used up its last bit of strength to bring the message back. The police acted swiftly. Xu Wei fled when he saw the situation was not good. Lin Shaobai was still trapped in the warehouse. Lu Zhengyang rushed to Lin Shaobai through the wall of fire regardless of everything. On the street, the air was filled with a festive atmosphere. The city's radio rang out Chairman Mao's voice, "The People's Republic of China, the Central People's Government was established today." There was no explosion. Zheng Lanting looked at the laughing people around him with a sullen face.

Episode 28
Jin Maochang deduced that it was most likely Li Yuquan from the sugar factory. To deal with the Shrike, he must be removed first. Lin Shaobai officially returned to the second room and began to track down the source of white phosphorus in the incendiary bomb without stopping. Lin Shaobai and Cen Xiaoman investigated Jin Maochang and found that Jin Maochang seemed to be unaware of this. In fact, Jin Maochang had already pretended to let Li Yuquan go on a business trip, but turned around and secretly kidnapped him. Jin Maochang deliberately pointed out that there was a problem with white phosphorus at the sugar factory, guiding Lin Shaobai to point the finger at Li Yuquan. A figure flashed by the door of the sugar factory. Lin Shaobai chased out and found that it was Jin Yan. It turned out that the anthrax bacteria found by Jin Yan before the test were not the same as the anthrax bomb left over that year, so she came to investigate again, but she didn't expect to run into Lin Shaobai. Jin Yan began to suspect that the previous events were related to her father. She sneaked into her father's study and wanted to open the safe to check the information inside. Jin Maochang came in time to interrupt her. Li Yaohong investigated the files of everyone in the bureau and found that Lao Chen was highly suspicious. Lao Chen's files were very complete, but his social relations had changed after 45 years, and the comrades who could prove his identity before were killed. Currently, no one can prove that the current Lao Chen is the same person as the Lao Chen 45 years ago. Lu Zhengyang decided to verify Lao Chen's identity. The Social Affairs Department organized a physical examination and specially added a leg examination for Lao Chen. Other things can be faked, but old injuries cannot be faked. Lao Chen was reluctant to go for the examination and made many excuses, which aroused more suspicion.

Episode 29
Just when everyone was waiting for Lao Chen to be exposed, the test results came out. Lao Chen's leg was indeed injured and broken a few years ago. Lu Zhengyang suspected that he was wrong, but he analyzed it again with Lin Shaobai and Li Yaohong and found that Lao Chen had been deliberately confusing before. He first refused to go to the hospital, making people suspect that he had a problem, and then used the test results to prove his innocence. It turned out that Zheng Lanting arranged for him to infiltrate our party four years ago. In order to play the role of "Lao Chen" well, he broke his calf cruelly. For him, this was a medal for serving the party and the country. Ningbo called back and Li Yuquan did not go to Ningbo at all. Lu Zhengyang went to the sugar factory and found only a "confession". The letter explained how he provided white phosphorus to Zheng Lanting and assisted Xiaocang in making anthrax bacteria. The police found the laboratory hidden in the sugar factory, but Xiaocang had already moved at this time. Jin Yan tested the culture dish brought back by Lu Zhengyang and found that the Sugar Industry Research Center was the real source of the anthrax bacteria before. Cen Xiaoman doubted the authenticity of the confession, but Lin Shaobai deduced from the details that the confession was indeed written by Li Yuquan. Lin Shaobai and his mother went to comfort Li Yuquan's wife and found a key in the chess piece with the words "Jian'an 403" written on it. Lin Shaobai and Lu Zhengyang found Jian'an Apartment, and Li Yuquan was indeed there, but he had become a corpse. Lu Zhengyang and Lin Shaobai found a fragmentation bomb at the scene, exactly the same as the one they found when they transported Wang Liqun.

Episode 30
Zheng Lanting instructed Xiao Yun to send the coordinates of important factories in Shanghai to Mao Sen. On the eve of the Spring Festival in 1950, enemy planes raided Shanghai and dropped a large number of heavy bombs with the help of coordinates. Shanghai, which the Communist Party would rather die than bombard, was bombed into a hell of fire and blood by Kuomintang planes. Lin Shaobai watched the citizens on the street being engulfed by flames, and when he saw Lao Chen, his eyes turned red. He couldn't help but pull out his gun to kill him, but was stopped by Lu Zhengyang. Now is not the time to move him, and he still has Shrike behind him. Zheng Lanting was very satisfied with the bombing. He ordered Xiao Yun to send the coordinates of a new batch of bombing targets to Zhoushan as soon as possible to prepare for the second bombing. Xu Wei went to Jin Maochang according to Zheng Lanting's instructions and asked him to provide a plan for Shanghai to resume work and production. Jin Maochang advised Xu Wei to think about his family and the people, but Xu Wei could no longer get off the boat. The Central Committee came forward to coordinate, and the Soviet Union sent an aviation corps, which will soon arrive in Shanghai secretly. We and the Soviet Union will jointly establish an air defense combined command post. Deputy Director Yang sent Lu Zhengyang to participate in the security of the command post. As the two were talking, the lights came on. Only 42 hours after the "February 6" bombing, Shanghai's power supply was restored. The light cannot be blocked. Jin Yan urgently called Lin Shaobai and showed him two reports. According to the time, Li Yuquan died before the anthrax bacteria died, which means that the whole thing was planned by someone else.

Episode 31
Lu Zhengyang and Deputy Director Yang proposed to forge a fake air defense command post and use Lao Chen to pass on false information through him, so that the enemy planes would never return and completely regain air superiority. At the same time, they followed Lao Chen to find Shrike and wiped out the Shanghai Special Station in one fell swoop. Zheng Lanting went to a new secret location to meet Kokura and ordered Kokura to develop bacterial weapons as soon as possible. Kokura knew that the day he developed it would be the day he died. According to Lu Zhengyang's plan, Lin Shaobai deliberately revealed the news that Lu Zhengyang had recently performed other secret tasks, so that Lao Chen "accidentally" saw the notice that Lu Zhengyang was temporarily transferred to the air defense command post. He also secretly followed Lao Chen under the pretext of handling the Li Yuquan case. He monitored day and night and found that Lao Chen only went to a cemetery to visit a tombstone without words except for his home. Lin Shaobai and Lu Zhengyang decided to give Lao Chen more information and deliberately expose the location of the fake air defense command post. Lao Chen went to confirm it, and Lin Shaobai followed carefully all the way. After Lao Chen confirmed the location of the air defense command post, he met with the shoe shiner to pass on the information. Lin Shaobai, who was following him, thought that the person who came to meet him was Shrike, but he didn't expect it to be Xu Wei. After confirming that Lao Chen had spread the news, Lu Zhengyang and others arrested him. Lao Chen confessed to his crime, but refused to provide information related to Shrike, and he concluded that with Shrike's intelligence, it would soon find out that the information was false.

Episode 32
The Social Affairs Department interrogated Lao Chen. Lu Zhengyang called out Du Lengquan's name. He still wanted to pretend, but when he saw the photo of the workers, he finally admitted that he was pretending to be Lao Chen. Lao Chen pleaded guilty, but still refused to give out the Shrike. In order to anger Lu Zhengyang, Lao Chen mocked Lu Zhengyang, saying that it was because of his mistake that the Fuzhou Road explosion happened and the Wen Tian couple died. Lin Shaobai knew that this was Lu Zhengyang's heart disease, and he had to find a way to help Lao Lu solve it. Lin Shaobai took the secret information he collected to the Fuzhou Road building and found Lu Zhengyang who was hiding. The interrogation of Lao Chen must be done by Lu Zhengyang himself. At this time, the Kuomintang's planes had taken off from Zhoushan and would reach Shanghai in an hour to carry out bombing. Once the enemy planes were shot down, the Shrike would know that the information was false and would definitely move immediately. If he was allowed to run away, it would be difficult to catch him. Lu Zhengyang finally came to the interrogation room. Lao Chen was still trying to anger Lu Zhengyang, but this time Lu Zhengyang did not fall for it. He exposed Lao Chen as an ungrateful person. Comrade Chen Rushan sacrificed his leg to protect him, but he brutally killed his lifesaver. So when he was in agony, he went to confess in front of the tombstone without words. Chen Rushan was a martyr who sacrificed for the people and the revolution, while he was just a shameless and despicable spy! Finally, Lao Chen couldn't resist the inner struggle and bowed his head in front of Lu Zhengyang.

Episode 33
Lu Zhengyang forced himself to calm down and defuse the bomb before the last second. Lin Shaobai drove to hunt down Zheng Lanting. Xu Wei and Li Xu suddenly rushed out and kept throwing grenades at Lin Shaobai. Lin Shaobai almost lost his life. The car crashed into the wall and could not start. Zheng Lanting was able to escape. After a city-wide search, the police finally found the car left by Zheng Lanting. When Lu Zhengyang and others rushed over, they found that the car was found, but there was no one in the car and no blood. At night, Feihang returned home alone. Lu Zhengyang and Lin Shaobai rushed back immediately after getting the news, but Feihang was unwilling to see them or talk. Lin Shaobai had to comfort Lu Zhengyang, thinking that Feihang was frightened. Who knew that the next morning, Feihang was still unwilling to go out. Lin's mother opened the door and found that Feihang had a fever. Lu Zhengyang and Lin Shaobai rushed Feihang to the hospital. Lu Zhengyang feeds Feihang, and Feihang reveals that she learned from Zheng Lanting that her parents died because of Lu Zhengyang, and musters up the courage to ask her second father for confirmation. Lu Zhengyang is caught off guard and doesn't know how to face it. Lin Shaobai thinks that the child should know the truth. Zheng Lanting escapes to the abandoned Zhongtian Chemical Factory, which is the new anthrax research base in Xiaocang. Zheng Lanting feels humiliated that every step has fallen into the scheme of Lu Zhengyang and Lin Shaobai. At the same time, the silence from Taiwan makes him worry that he has been abandoned by the Bureau of Secrets.

Episode 34
The Social Affairs Department found the bank headquarters in Hong Kong based on the bank account and finally confirmed that the remitter was Jin Maochang. It was also found that Jin Maochang's account had remitted money to a man named Han Jinkui (Akui). According to the confession of the black market arms dealer, Akui was the person who bought the shrapnel from him before. Putting together many clues, Jin Maochang was the third party who provided material support to Shrike behind the scenes. Now Jin Maochang has sent Jin Yan to Nanjing in advance to prevent Jin Yan from being coerced by Shrike in Shanghai. He remitted money to Akui to buy guns and ammunition to make the final preparations for getting rid of Shrike. Lu Zhengyang and Lin Shaobai immediately arrested Jin Maochang, but the factory and company were nowhere to be found. At this time, Zheng Lanting and Xu Wei arrived at the warehouse to meet Jin Maochang. Jin Maochang was determined to die together and tricked Zheng Lanting into the warehouse to prepare for the attack. However, the wily Zheng Lanting had already left a backhand. Zheng Lanting arranged for Xiao Yun and Li Xu to hide in the dark in advance, and tried to sow discord between A Kui and Jin Maochang. A Kui did not believe it, but Xiao Yun, who was hiding in the dark, took the lead in shooting. Xu Wei had been paying attention to the development of the situation, and finally pulled the trigger at Jin Maochang. Lu Zhengyang and Lin Shaobai could not find the whereabouts of Jin Maochang. At this time, Cen Xiaoman came to report that a gunfight had occurred in the Jin family warehouse. After a firefight, A Kui was shot and killed, and Jin Maochang was also seriously injured. He only begged Zheng Lanting not to hurt Jin Yan. Zheng Lanting agreed and led his men to escape.

Episode 35
Lu Zhengyang speculated that Zheng Lanting was likely still in Shanghai, because he did not take Xiaocang with him on the day he escaped. He could not let go of the trump card in his hand. If Xiaocang was caught, Zheng Lanting would definitely be caught. Xiaocang's super anthrax entered the human experiment stage. Meng Heng, a subordinate of Liu Guiheng, secretly monitored Zheng Lanting's movements and was caught by Xu Wei and used directly for human experiments. Zheng Lanting also asked Li Xu to put anthrax spores in the letter and send it to the society for revenge. Fortunately, Lu Zhengyang discovered the doubts in time. After inspection, anthrax spores were put into the letter. This was Zheng Lanting declaring war on them. Jin Yan wanted to catch Zheng Lanting with Lu Zhengyang, Lin Shaobai and others. Lin Shaobai did not want her to participate because of the danger, but Jin Yan was very determined. Zheng Lanting used Meng Heng's human experiment to hit Liu Guiheng. Liu Guiheng was frightened and frankly said that he came back to make money and would never threaten Zheng Lanting's position. Xu Wei and Li Xu recruited people to do human experiments. Xu Wei invited Li Xu to have supper and asked where Li Xu had transferred Zhao Lan. Li Xu stopped talking in time and did not reveal too much. After Zheng Lanting knew about it, he asked Xu Wei to put away
