Episode 13 recap: Cheng Bing and others investigated the raw stone.
Wang Da Yong came with money, indicating his intention to go to Jiecheng. Cheng Bing mentioned that Lao Tang had said that his friend saw this raw stone in Jiecheng last year. This means that regardless of who eventually handled this raw stone, it definitely came from Wang Da Yong's side. As long as they trace it back in that direction, they will surely find Wang Da Yong.
Lin Ying discussed the matter of the raw stone with Pan Da Hai and wondered whether they should send a joint investigation letter to Jiecheng. Pan Da Hai asked Lin Ying to personally go there. Wang Da Yong brought money and expressed his willingness to go to Jiecheng. Everyone gathered there, and Cheng Bing mentioned that Lao Tang had said his friend saw this raw stone in Jiecheng last year.
Lao Ma believed that after so many years, it must have changed hands several times. Cheng Bing believed that regardless of who eventually handled this raw stone, it definitely came from Wang Da Yong's side. As long as they trace it back in that direction, they will surely find Wang Da Yong.
Everyone agreed with this reasoning. Lin Ying discussed the matter of the raw stone with Pan Da Hai, and Pan Da Hai thought Wang Da Yong had quite the patience since he waited so many years to make a move. Lin Ying considered whether they should send a joint investigation letter to Jiecheng.
Pan Da Hai asked Lin Ying to personally go there. Cheng Bing and others discussed recent events and mentioned that they were now going to Jiecheng to search for information about this raw stone. Cheng Bing was determined to go, Shi Tou also expressed his intention to go, Lao Ma had already retired but still wanted to go.
Lao Liao and others were still hesitating since they had families. Cheng Bing told them not to go, as a few of them would be enough. However, everyone still wanted to go because it concerned the entire Third Squadron. Lao Liao went home to wash his wife's feet, but she immediately sensed that something was wrong and asked him what was going on.
Lao Liao told his wife about the matter, and she was also shocked. They had finally been living peacefully for a few days, and now they had to get involved in this. Cai Bin went home and talked to his wife about the matter, but she disagreed and said she understood him, but she wouldn't agree to it.
Cai Bin came over to help his wife mop the floor, and his wife gave him some money, indicating that even if they couldn't go in person, they could at least contribute financially. Cai Bin was also happy about it. Cai Bin went to find Cheng Bing and gave him the money, and Cheng Bing assured him that they would definitely repay the money later. Lin Ying also arrived and mentioned that she was going on a business trip, and if they provided leads, it was natural for her to investigate.
Everyone got on the car, and suddenly Cai Bin came up and said that the Third Squadron needed to gather. Cai Bin called his wife, who had already anticipated this and told him to stay safe and come back early. Everyone was in high spirits, but Xiao Xu thought about the conversation with his wife and felt upset.
Xiao Xu's wife didn't want Xiao Xu to come and said she wouldn't help him with taking time off. If Xiao Xu insisted on going, they would get a divorce. Xiao Xu received the message from his wife, who said she had helped him arrange the time off and gave him ten days. Xiao Xu was happy to see it.
Cheng Bing and the others arrived in Jiecheng. Cai Bin went to find accommodation while Cheng Bing and the others went to the boss recommended by Lao Tang to gather information. The boss said they hadn't seen that piece of material, and if such a good piece appeared, they wouldn't be unaware of it. Cheng Bing asked for their help in gathering information.
Cheng Bing and the others returned and suggested that everyone stay here for the night. Cheng Bing came up with a plan: they would pretend to be buyers of the material and have it delivered here. Cai Bin would pose as the boss, Lao Ma as an appraiser, and Shi Tou as a bodyguard. Everyone went to a five-star hotel, and Cheng Bing would spread the news.
Many people came in these two days, but none of them brought the desired material. One person got angry, realizing that they weren't genuinely interested in buying the material, and a fight almost broke out. Lin Ying went to the local police station and was surprised to find out that Cheng Bing and the others were the ones who were recently looking to buy that piece of material.
Cheng Bing realized they had underestimated the situation. If someone had that material, they wouldn't publicize it, so their current method was definitely not going to work.
The sisters-in-law have such great vision! Honestly, if the people from the Third Brigade have already achieved success and now spend their days dancing, playing chess, and scrolling through short videos, and suddenly they decide to pursue their dreams, as a wife, I would tell them to go as far away as possible.
But their children are still in school, and some have just been promoted after much difficulty. They put their work aside to chase their dreams, and their wives are truly supportive.
It's really admirable!
The reunion of the Third Brigade, with the sisters-in-law taking the lead! It must be said that this hard-earned "mission" was made possible by the understanding of their wives.
Lao Ma's wife with her words, "There are some things to take care of while you still have strength, so just go and get them done~"; Big Liao's wife buying tickets and packing their luggage; Bin Ge's wife contributing money and manpower, and that line on the phone, "Come back safely for me," struck a chord in my heart; Xiao Xu's wife's text message, "I've taken care of your leave, just ten days, stay safe," was like a reassuring pill, letting everyone know that the sisters-in-law ultimately chose to support them.
The reason why the sisters-in-law support isn't simply because of their hot-bloodedness, but love. It is their dedication that has contributed to the Third Squad's achievements. In fact, if we put ourselves in their shoes, we can truly empathize with them.
At the beginning, their refusal stemmed from the fear that their own husbands would get hurt. However, as former police wives, they understand the regrets and unwillingness in the hearts of the Third Squad. In their hearts, they probably already knew that one day they would embark on this journey.
The final "letting go" is a way of fulfilling their wishes. The sisters-in-law truly deserve a big round of applause!
Over the course of ten years, Cheng Bing has transformed from a decisive and resourceful captain of the criminal investigation team into a silent and burdened ordinary citizen.
He has experienced the despair of being imprisoned and the sorrow of a broken family, but he is still able to emerge from it and reengage in the fight, to accomplish the missions of the three teams and remove the thorn in their hearts.
I believe this fully demonstrates Cheng Bing's sense of responsibility and dedication. He has never been defeated by the criminals. As Hemingway said, a person can be destroyed, but not defeated.
Cheng Bing is strong. Despite the collapse of his marriage and his daughter's rejection, these things have not crushed him. He continues to strive towards his goals, and this spirit is worthy of everyone's emulation.
This TV drama, based on a true story, allows us to see that our country is one of the countries with the lowest crime rates in the world, and is known as one of the safest countries.
This is precisely because there is a group of dedicated frontline police officers quietly making contributions. They may have let down their families and children, but they have fulfilled their duties to society and to the country.
Let us pay tribute to Cheng Bing!
