On the evening of April 28, 2001, Wu Tian, general manager of Tianhong Company, was shot at the door of his home and died on the spot. Xu Guoqing, deputy director in charge of criminal investigation of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, received the report and immediately rushed to the scene to organize police forces to investigate. After investigation, he found that the victim Wu Tian's background was extremely complicated and he had a deep hatred with many people. The two most important of them were his mistress Chen Mei and his business partner Zhou Guoquan. Chen Mei is a beautiful and intelligent woman who used to be Wu Tian's secretary and later became his mistress. She has deep feelings for Wu Tian, but also has hidden secrets. Zhou Guoquan is an underworld boss, he and Wu Tian used to be partners, and later turned against each other because of differences in interests. He always wanted to get rid of Wu Tian and seize his business and property.
According to the clues, Xu Guoqing locked up two murderers: a gangster named Li Gang and a professional killer named Zhang Jun. They are all killers hired by Zhou Guoquan, but they have different motives. Li Gang was forced to accept the task because he owed Zhou Guoquan, while Zhang Jun held a grudge because Wu Tian had killed his father. Xu Guoqing led the police to launch a hunt for the two murderers, but was obstructed and counterattacked by Zhou Guoquan and Chen Mei. In this contest between police and bandits, Xu Guoqing not only has to face the cunning and cruelty of the enemy, but also faces his inner struggles and contradictions.
In the life and death struggle again and again, Xu Guoqing gradually uncovered the amazing truth hidden behind Wu Tian's death: it turned out that Wu Tian was not a simple businessman, but an undercover policeman. In order to break into Zhou Guoquan's gangster organization, he sacrificed his identity and family, and even did not hesitate to have feelings with Chen Mei. But just as he was about to complete his mission, he was discovered by Zhou Guoquan and assassinated. And Chen Mei is not a simple mistress, but a woman with the same mysterious identity. In order to protect Wu Tian, she did not hesitate to collude with Zhou Guoquan and devised a complex and ingenious plan. She took advantage of Zhang Jun's hatred of Wu Tian to make him one of the murderers and left her necklace as a clue at the scene of the shooting. She hopes that in this way, Xu Guoqing can find Zhang Jun, so as to expose Zhou Guoquan's crimes and avenge Wu Tian. But what she didn't expect was that her plan also brought herself mortal danger.
The climax of the play:
In a fierce shootout, Xu Guoqing successfully captured Li Gang and learned Zhang Jun's whereabouts from him. He immediately took the police to Zhang Jun's hiding place, ready to hunt him down. But just as they were about to arrive, they found that Zhang Jun had been killed. Xu Guoqing was surprised to find that the person who killed Zhang Jun turned out to be Chen Mei. It turned out that after Chen Mei learned that Zhang Jun was being chased by the police, she was worried that he would tell his secret, so she personally killed him. She also wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but was stopped by Xu Guoqing. Under Xu Guoqing's questioning, Chen Mei finally said the true identity and feelings of herself and Wu Tian. She cried and said that she did all this for love, she only wanted to avenge Wu Tian, and did not want to hurt anyone. She also said that she knew that she could not escape the punishment of the law, and she only hoped that Xu Guoqing could forgive her and let her see Wu Tian for the last time.
Xu Guoqing was deeply moved by Chen Mei's words, and he felt her sincere and selfless love for Wu Tian. He also felt admiration and regret for Wu Tian's sacrifice and bravery. He decided to let Chen Mei go and take her to see Wu Tian's body. But just as they were about to leave, Zhou Guoquan suddenly appeared. It turned out that Zhou Guoquan had long detected Chen Mei's defection and followed her whereabouts. He surrounded Xu Guoqing and Chen Mei with a group of his subordinates and laughed at their stupidity and ridiculousness. He said he was going to kill them with his own hands and throw their bodies into the river. He also said that he wanted the world to know that Wu Tian was a despicable undercover agent and Chen Mei was a slut. Xu Guoqing and Chen Mei were enraged by Zhou Guoquan's words, and they desperately resisted and resisted. In a life-and-death duel, Xu Guoqing and Zhou Guoquan fought to the death, while Chen Mei took the opportunity to pick up a gun and shoot at Zhou Guoquan. But unfortunately, the bullet did not hit Zhou Guoquan, but Xu Guoqing. Xu Guoqing fell in a pool of blood, while Zhou Guoquan took the opportunity to escape.
