In 1946, Cheng Fan led his troops to take over the Harbin Puppet Manchuria Police Station and served as the director of the Public Security Bureau. At that time, Harbin was facing double pressure: the Kuomintang entrenched in Changchun could attack Harbin at any time, and hidden enemy special organizations, bandits and bullies, Japanese puppet personnel, and even rogue rogues were waiting for opportunities to cause trouble. Internally, public security cadres come from all over the world, have different work ideas and methods, often disagree when encountering specific problems, trade unions and peasant associations are also arguing about who is the leader of urban management, and the municipal leadership lacks experience in managing large cities, etc., all of which put tremendous pressure on Cheng Fan and his comrades-in-arms. The Kuomintang successively sent high-ranking spies and agents specially trained in the United States to infiltrate Harbin. Cheng Fan gathered the forces of all sides of the Public Security Bureau and relied on the grass-roots masses to stop the enemy's conspiracy one by one. In order to stabilize social order, the Neighbor Lu Committee was established, the management of the hukou of overseas Chinese in the city was improved, and brothels, tobacco houses and casinos were abolished. The ghosts lurking in our public security bureau were eliminated and the assassination of General Li Zhaolin was cracked.

Introduction to Episodes:

Episode 1 On April 28, 1946, the Communists liberated Harbin, an important town in Northern Manchuria. The CPC Central Committee appointed Cheng Fan, head of the Public Security Section of the Central Social Department, to serve as the director of the newly established Harbin Public Security Bureau. Cheng Fan took Wu Zheng and Tang Wenjing and his entourage to the Public Security Bureau as scheduled, and Deputy Director Zhao Lushan and others lined up to welcome them; before Cheng Fan could enter the gate of the Public Security Bureau, he was ambushed by Kuomintang agents, and both sides suffered heavy losses. On the same day that Cheng Li came to Harbin, Song Hongling, a commissioner for military command, and his disguised husband Yang Jingxiu also came to Harbin from Shanghai to take up their posts, and according to the arrangements of the Chongqing Kuomintang headquarters, the Binjiang group led by Song Hongling was directly responsible for the operations in Harbin, and since then Binjiang Station has no longer been under the management of the Kuomintang Changchun Station, which has also caused the dissatisfaction of Han Qiushui, the station chief of the Changchun Station. For the accidental assassination incident that occurred yesterday when he took office, Cheng Fan openly held accountable in the Public Security Bureau and demanded that the relevant personnel responsible for security on that day be suspended and suspended without pay; Cheng Fan's accountability punishment was questioned by the pseudo-Manchu policeman Shi Mingxi and others, Shi Mingxi and Cheng Fan openly shouted, and Cheng Fan decided to properly adjust these pseudo-Manchu policemen for their own use. Subsequently, Zhao Luwei also submitted his resignation to Cheng Fan, who bitterly persuaded him to stay and assist him in his work, and said that for the Shi Mingxi incident, he would definitely give Zhao Lu a satisfactory explanation, which persuaded Zhao Lu to continue to serve as deputy public security bureau chief. When the Japanese army withdrew from Harbin that year, a batch of arms was buried on the outskirts of Harbin, and Jin Yuxuan, a major intelligence general of the puppet Manchukuo Security Bureau, assassinated the Japanese general Itagaki and obtained the coordinates of the arms. Jin Yuxuan called Han Qiushui and said that he had mastered the batch of arms that could equip 10,000 people, and asked the Kuomintang to trade two hundred gold bars. The Communist undercover sleepers at Changchun Station sent back this information, Cheng Fan was too aware of the importance of Banyuan arms, if he could obtain this batch of arms, he could greatly improve the situation of the Communist Party's War of Resistance in the Northeast, so Cheng Fan decided to make the search for arms the first priority in the future, asked Zhao Lushan and Wu Zheng to lead the police to carry out a city-wide search and arrest in Harbin, although a large number of traitors and hooligans were captured, but Still Jin Yuxuan was not caught. Song Hongling also received a telegram from the Chongqing headquarters, asking her to contact Jin Yuxuan as soon as possible, and if necessary, to get rid of Jin Yuxuan, and not to allow the Communist Party to obtain the arms. Song Hongling and Cheng Fan, when they studied in Moscow 8 years ago, were once lovers. When Cheng Fan learned from Zhao Luwei that Song Hongling had also returned to Harbin and had become a family, he was a little distracted. And Song Hongling and Yang Jingxiu pretended to be husband and wife for many years, although she knew that Yang Jingxiu loved herself and had been taking good care of herself for so many years, but she could not let go of her former lover Liu Xinghan in her heart.

Episode 2 Song Hongling received information to negotiate with Jin Yuxuan, she and Yang Jingxiu rushed to the billiard hall where they met, the fake Jin Yuxuan on the phone asked to meet tomorrow at the café for a deal, Song Hongling and Jin Yuxuan secretly discussed to stabilize Jin Yuxuan first, as long as they met, they could not help him. Unexpectedly, the process of their discussion was overheard by Jin Yuxuan, who pretended to be a waiter, and Jin Yuxuan knew that the Kuomintang was not sincere, so he did not appear at the agreed time, and Song Hongling's first negotiation with Jin Yuxuan failed. Then Song Hongling obtained a photo of Jin Yuxuan, and only then did he know that the waiter in the billiard hall that day was Jin Yuxuan, and the two realized that they could not despise their people, and this matter could not be forcibly taken, so Song Hongling sent a telegram to the Headquarters of the Kuomintang in Chongqing, hoping that the headquarters could allocate funds to show sincerity and ensure that this batch of arms was taken. Cheng Fan investigated Shi Mingxi's situation and learned that the situation in his family was indeed more difficult, and that Shi Mingxi had been a policeman for more than ten years, with strong ability and great backbone, so Cheng Fan decided to take it for himself and appointed him as the deputy captain of the action team. The situation in Harbin was chaotic, and Cheng Fan also injured some businessmen while cracking down on hooligans, and some businessmen took the opportunity to hoard and live in Qi, causing the price of grain in Harbin to soar, causing the people to question and accuse the Communist Party. Cheng Fan received instructions from his superiors to control the price of grain and give an account to the people. Cheng Fan had to ask Song Boyang, the president of the Harbin Chamber of Commerce and Industry, for help, so he sent the deputy director to negotiate with Song Boyang, hoping that Song Boyang could coordinate with the merchants to stabilize the price of grain, but Song Boyang refused. Cheng Fan had to visit in person, and Song Boyang refused to meet. Song Hongling hoped to take this opportunity to get acquainted with the director of the Public Security Bureau, which would be of great benefit to her future work, so she asked her father to go upstairs to avoid it, and she went downstairs to prevaricate the director of the Public Security Bureau. Unexpectedly, the director of this public security bureau was his former lover Liu Xinghan, the two people actually cared for each other for a while, the two poured out their experiences for so many years, in the war years, born like duckweed, the two could not be together is also fate. The Song family suddenly received a letter of extortion, and the rogue leader Hong Baokui kidnapped Song Yuhan, the second lady of the Song family, and demanded four gold bars before she could release her. Song Boyang was furious, believing that it was Cheng Fan that they had released Hong Baokui to cause this incident, and was ready to use gold bars to protect Song Yuhan, Cheng Fan proposed to Song Boyang that he should solve the matter, and then arranged for Wu Zheng and others to find out the terrain, pretending to be Song Hongling's husband to send gold bars to Hong Baokui, Hong Baokui demanded that he must send himself out of the city before he was willing to release people, Cheng Fan and Wu Zheng and others cooperated to take down Hong Baokui's gang, and finally Song Yuhan was rescued. Song Boyang was impressed by Cheng Fan and decided to come forward to negotiate with the government to control grain prices. After this incident, Shi Mingxi and others saw the bravery and integrity of Cheng Fan, Wu Zheng and other Communists, and decided to serve the Communists. Yang Jingxiu was keenly aware of the unusual relationship between Song Hongling and Cheng Fan, and he asked Song Hongling for verification, and Song Hongling admitted that he and Cheng Fan were previous lovers.

Episode 3 Song Hongling confesses to Yang Jingxiu that he and Cheng Fan were once lovers, and Cheng Fan was called Liu Xinghan at that time, and the two met when they were studying at university in Moscow. Yang Jingxiu questioned that Song Hongling still had Cheng Li in mind, which might affect the party-state mission, but Song Hongling said that he could take the opportunity to get close to Cheng Li to gather intelligence. The Kuomintang's distrust made Jin Yuxuan very angry, in order to prove that there was a clear matter, Jin Yuxuan informed Cheng Fan and Song Hongling of the coordinates of some of the arms at the same time, and Cheng Fan immediately arranged to decipher the coordinates, and according to the deciphering results, led the troops to dig up the arms, on the other hand, Song Hongling also analyzed the coordinates of the arms, and Yang Jingxiu drove there. But Cheng Fan took the first step and obtained the ammunition. Song Hongling saw the Communists preemptively obtaining ammunition from a distance, and she understood that Jin Yuxuan no longer trusted the Kuomintang, and if she wanted to obtain the remaining ammunition, it would be more difficult than she had imagined. Song Hongling instructed the Binjiang group to find the first batch of ammunition obtained by the Communists on the one hand and try to destroy them, and on the other hand, to seize the remaining ammunition in jin Yuxuan's hands. Cheng Fan and other Communists arrested and imprisoned businessmen who had previously done business with the Japanese, and the families of these businessmen not only went to the public security bureau to make trouble, but also went to Song Boyang's house every day to cry and complain. As long as Song Boyang found Cheng Fan and demanded that the wrongly caught merchants be released as soon as possible, it would be difficult to balance the price of grain. But Cheng Fan adhered to principle and refused to let people go. Song Hongling caught the person who delivered the letter to Jin Yuxuan, and learned from it that Jin Yuxuan had lived in a house called Fan Dongyang before the arrest, and Song Hongling and Yang Jingxiu speculated that Jin Yuxuan and Fan Dongyang had a good friendship, and at this time, Fan Dongyang was arrested by Cheng Fan as a traitor. The two discussed using public opinion to put pressure on Cheng Fan and release the other arrested businessmen as soon as possible. Song Boyang and other members of the Chamber of Commerce discuss the Communist Party's persecution of businessmen at home, and Song Hongling learns that her father has failed to persuade Cheng To release him. Decided to use Hong Baokui to create trouble in prison. After discussion, the superior leaders believed that song Boyang's request was reasonable, and now that the economic situation was special, it was necessary to obtain the support of the businessmen, and it was a big thing for the people to fill their stomachs, and the superior leaders demanded that Cheng Fan immediately release the businessmen in prison, at this time Cheng Fan received a phone call, and there was a fight in the prison, resulting in the death of 6 people, of which 3 were businessmen. After Song Hongling learned the news, she immediately released the matter to various newspapers and media, and organized a large-scale demonstration of students on the streets to put pressure on the public security bureau, and the superior leaders once again issued an order demanding that Cheng Fan release the merchants in order to quell social unrest. However, Cheng Fan felt that there might be some trouble behind this, and applied to his superiors to convene a public trial conference to gain the trust of the people. The panicked family members of the merchants came to the Song family every day to make trouble. Song Hongling organized the merchant's family and collected all kinds of evidence of not betraying the country, and among them, there was information on Fan Dongdong. Song Hongling sent the relevant evidence found by the businessman's family to Cheng Fan, who invited the businessman's family and witnesses to attend the public trial meeting, Cheng Fan did not know that this was Song Hongling's plan, and sincerely thanked her for her support for her work.

Episode 4 Song Hongling's calm and methodical performance in dealing with the arrested businessman makes Song Boyang extremely satisfied, and he decides that Song Hongling will become the acting president of the Harbin Chamber of Industry and Commerce. The public trial assembly released a group of innocent and misdemeanor businessmen, and calmed the grievances of the merchants' families. Fan Dongyang was also acquitted, and both Fan Dongyang and his wife were extremely grateful to Song Hongling, who asked about Jin Yuxuan's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, Fan Dongyang was reluctant to sell his friends, and Song Hongling, under the pretext of discussing issues such as stabilizing grain prices and social assistance, made an appointment with Cheng Li for lunch. Faced with their former lovers, both of them try to control their feelings. Jin Yuxuan has been concerned about Fan Dongyang's safety, and after finding out that he has been kidnapped by the Binjiang group, he tries to rescue him.

Jin Yuxuan's clue was thus interrupted. For the safety of the munitions, Cheng Li hid the ammunition in the Nangang military camp and waited for the arrival of the handover troops, with Wu Zheng and Shi Mingxi jointly responsible for defending the arms. The Binjiang group finds Shi Mingxi's subordinate Shi Zhao and asks him about the whereabouts of his arms, Shi Zhao swears to die, and eventually the whole family is killed, and Cheng Fan finds a severed finger in the mouth of Shi Zhao's wife. In order to prove that his brother did not leak the information on the arms, Shi Mingxi took the initiative to ask that he guard the arms, and Cheng Fan agreed.

Han Qiuchi quickly called back, and the person in charge of the arms handover was Zhou Baoguo, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast Democratic United Army, who was both Song Hongling's middle school teacher and Cheng Fan's enlightenment teacher for participating in the revolution. Cheng Fan sent Zhao Lu to deliver supplies to Shi Mingxi, who was guarding the arms.

Under the persuasion of Tang Wenjing, Shi Mingxi forgave Cheng Li and returned to the Public Security Bureau. Jin Yuxuan contacted the Binjiang group again, asking the Binjiang group to prepare the gold bars and continue to trade the remaining arms. The Binjiang group laid an ambush at the agreed location of Jin Yuxuan, but Jin Yuxuan easily removed the people and horses under Song Hongling's ambush, took the gold bars with them, and asked Song Hongling to prepare the remaining gold bars as soon as possible. Song Hongling and Yang Jingxiu anxiously awaited the gold bars approved by the headquarters, but what they were waiting for was Han Qiushui, the escort of the gold bars.

Cheng immediately rushed to the prisoner-of-war camp to look for Takeda Jiro, but was told that Takeda Jiro was dead.

Cheng Fan considered for the people of Harbin and said that he would lead the public security bureau to persist to the end. With the tightening of the war on the front line, more and more wounded were sent to Harbin, and the field hospital could no longer meet the needs of the front line, so Cheng Fan came to the Boyang Hospital opened by the Song family to consult with Song Hongling. Seeing that so many wounded people were amputated or even killed because they could not receive timely treatment, Song Hongling decided to build a temporary field hospital.

In the temporary field hospital, in the process of treatment, the cooperation between Cheng Fan and Song Hongling became more and more tacit. Lacking a doctor who was proficient in lung disease, Cheng took Song Hongling with him to the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp to look for a doctor named Oshima. However, this Oshima doctor had treated Song Hongling in Shanghai, so it was very likely that he knew song Hongling's true identity. In the face of Song Hongling's temptation, Oshima did not seem to have seen Song Hongling before. Before leaving the camp, someone hurriedly sent a baggage and asked Cheng To hand it over to Takeda's Chinese brother-in-law. Based on this, Song Hongling speculated that Jin Yuxuan had been captured by Cheng Fan, and she consulted with Yang Jingxiu that she must rescue Jin Yuxuan as soon as possible.

Yang Jingxiu insisted on going his own way and assassinated a senior CCP official, and Song Hongling was very angry. Yang Jingxiu hears that Jin Yuxuan is likely to be imprisoned in the city prison, and they decide to rescue Jin Yuxuan. Song Hongling sent two agents to the prison to publicize the false news that the Communist Party would massacre prisoners before evacuating Harbin, causing panic among everyone in the prison. Hong Baokui and others are reluctant to sit still, and a prison riot is brewing rapidly. When Cheng Li arrived, the prisoners had already rushed out of the prison and were in a confrontation with the public security fighters.
