The death of the villain Zhong Baiming in "#Secret and Great#" made many people clap their hands, on the surface it seems that Gu Yaodong stabbed the enemy who secretly killed his spiritual mentor and lover, but it was he who wanted to kill Zhong Baiming, and it was his competitive spirit and greed for fame and fortune that finally sent him to the guillotine. If it weren't for him competing with Deputy Director Qi for the position of director of the bureau with someone above, Gu Yaodong would not have been able to take advantage of the void to easily gain the trust of Deputy Director Qi, and the play that Xia Jicheng wanted to direct might have been easily completed.
Who is Director Chung? As the director of the second criminal police department who succeeded Xia Jicheng, his appearance is a little different. Before the official transfer order came, he first went to Xia Jicheng's office for a circle, and quickly discovered Zhao Zhiyong, a "usable talent". Zhong Baiming, who hid needles in the cotton, went to the beginning of the police station, was well versed in Taoguang's way of raising obscurity, never competed with Wang Keda, the head of the criminal police department at that time, and always had a meek appearance in front of Deputy Director Qi, which was harmless and the first impression he wanted to give, and it was precisely because of this trait that Zhao Zhiyong did not have more precautions against him.
But Zhong Baiming's hasty arrival in office is by no means simple. On the surface, he is only the right-hand man of Deputy Director Tian, the first official sent for the Shanghai Financial Deficit Crisis Bureau, but in fact, he is responsible for the dual role of the director of the Huzhou branch of the Secrecy Bureau and earning merit for his career.
This point was accidentally killed by Wang Keda, director Duan was about to take office in Zhejiang, and the existing structure of the police station was broken and began to become more direct. Zhong Baiming, who was promoted to the head of the first criminal police division, began to go crazy after receiving permission from Deputy Director Tian of the Shanghai Municipal Police Bureau.
Zhong Baiming, who had always been accustomed to putting away his sharp edges, began to sit still, first bypassing Deputy Director Qi and directly reporting the progress of the case to Director Duan, and then showing undisguised pride after reporting to Director Tang, both of which made Deputy Director Qi, who thought that the position of director of the bureau was within reach, hate to the bone. It is no wonder that when Gu Yaodong found "key evidence", Deputy Director Qi would calculate the time to report directly to Director Tang, and cleverly obtained the position of "chief" deputy director. From the details of this official position dispute, the deep meaning behind it is really worth playing.
Zhong Baiming, who thought that there was someone above him, would not have thought that Deputy Director Qi actually had a back hand and easily copied him. However, these did not sound the alarm bell for him, but made him more firmly believe that only meritorious service could make his career go smoother, so after receiving the support of Deputy Director Tian, he directly bypassed deputy director Qi, who was in charge of the police station, and began to frantically search for the intelligence network of underground party reports. These undisguised seizures of power have accelerated the tragedy of Zhong Baiming.
Therefore, after Xia Jicheng returned from the position of inspector and joined hands with Gu Yaodong to design Zhong Baiming, the scene that Deputy Director Qi co-starred in was really amazing. On the surface, the deputy director was pleading, hoping that Xia Jicheng could see that he had raised his hand on the former love points, but in fact, he was pushing outwards sentence by sentence, hoping that Zhong Baiming would be picked up. And if Zhong Baiming had not created a deep sin for the struggle for power and profit before, with the thin face of Deputy Director Tian, Deputy Director Qi would also try to protect it. So from this point of view, Zhong Baiming's death was done by himself.
Turning his head and looking at the actions of his only "own person" Zhao Zhiyong, he could more support such an argument. When Zhong Baiming first arrived at the Shanghai Police General Bureau, he was bound to form his own team, and in the case of Wang Keda's strong power and the two places were scattered, Zhao Zhiyong, who was most likely to be controlled and swayed, was the best candidate. First attacking the heart and then seducing, the originally kind Zhao Zhiyong was quickly taken down, but these so-called compromises and struggles were not worth mentioning in Zhong Baiming's eyes.
When Zhao Zhiyong's mother was critically ill, in order to keep Zhao Zhiyong from continuing to track and monitor Gu Yaodong, he withheld all the letters and used the DOLLAR to tempt Zhao Zhiyong to continue to stick to his post, knowing that Zhao Zhiyong was a filial piety, and he was so reticent, Zhong Baiming's viciousness was evident. Therefore, in the end, Zhao Zhiyong, who has always been loyal, was also forced to rebel and began to beat him angrily, which shows that he has lost his last foundation in the police station, and it is only a matter of time before he falls.
If you compare it with Wang Keda, who is also a negative person, this is even more obvious. As the head of the criminal police department, Wang Keda conscientiously searched for the underground party, and he had no selfish intentions in this regard. And although he was fierce, he still had real feelings for his opponents, and it was precisely because of this that after Yang Kui's uninformed death, he would stare at Gu Yaodong. So in the end, Wang Keda accidentally went offline, and many viewers were reluctant to "reach the duck", which shows that this "no selfishness" was wrapped up by the times, and the director who chose the wrong road still had audience affinity. But Zhong Baiming's downline was only exchanged for a round of applause, and the audience base of the characters was self-evident.
Therefore, Zhong Baiming's death is actually no wonder to others, even if it is not Gu Yaodong who shoots, there will be other people, but what really hurts him in his bones is greed. Although he will undoubtedly die, if there is no greed and less evil, at least in the audience's psychology will not be early "social death". You can't live by your own sins, so it's no wonder that others aren't merciful. Text/Red Queen
