Features: Qingming Public Security Bureau Supervision Chief Li Wenhai and Qingming Public Security Bureau Liuhua Branch Chief Liu Yanbin were once inseparable comrades in the same criminal police team, sharing life and death. However, when they each took on new leadership positions, they developed significant conflicts and disagreements due to differing views on law enforcement. During Li Wenhai's inspection, he found that some departments under the Liuhua Branch were not enforcing the law according to legal procedures, tarnishing the image of the public security organ. When exchanging opinions with Liu Yanbin, Liu Yanbin dismissed Li Wenhai's concerns as nitpicking and overreacting. Soon after, an incident occurred where a police officer from the station police detachment, Ma Xiangdong, beat someone during an enforcement action. Li Wenhai demanded to handle the matter strictly according to the law, but was opposed by Liu Yanbin. This drew the attention of Chief Zheng Ziguang, who, during a bureau party committee meeting, emphasized that fair law enforcement is the guarantee for the Communist Party of China's ruling position and also the assurance for the people's peace and prosperity. The party committee unanimously agreed, and under the unified leadership of the party committee, Supervision Chief Li Wenhai was tasked with conducting a crackdown on illegal law enforcement across all departments under Qingming City. Liu Yanbin outwardly agreed but inwardly believed that to maintain stability, it was essential to cultivate good relations with the bosses in the jurisdiction, as only then could the responsibilities of the public security organ be fulfilled. Li Wenhai led the supervision team to thoroughly investigate illegal law enforcement practices, uncovering issues such as the management rental of the drug rehabilitation center and the arbitrary fines and detentions by the traffic team. At the same time, he also discovered Liu Yanbin's black dealings with the bosses. The two former comrades engaged in a fierce debate on this matter. In the end, under the weight of the facts, Liu Yanbin, with Li Wenhai's help, realized that his actions had crossed the line into criminal behavior. In the fight against criminals, Liu Yanbin turned against them, fulfilling his final duty as a police officer. This is a work that reflects the internal supervision mechanism of public security organs and is also the new work of author Wei Ren following The Public Security Chief. The theme is novel and highly readable.
