Episode 1

On March 24, 2014, Dongzhai Station received a mysterious alarm call. According to reports from the public, a large-scale cargo theft was about to occur in the Dongzhai cargo yard.The “large scale” here usually means that a gang of more than a dozen or even dozens of people will commit the crime.However, Dongzhai Station is located in a remote location and the local police station does not have sufficient police personnel. Therefore, the Public Security Department had to urgently mobilize other police forces to guard the station.

For many years, railway police have had a unique profession - small police station police.Due to the special lines and geographical location of the railway, it is necessary to set up stopping stations for freight trains in many places, and these stations need to be stationed and inspected by police to maintain the safety of the stations and freight trains.

When the police were ready to catch the theft gang, they found that the actual situation was very different from expectations.There are only five people in this theft gang. Although they seem to be well-equipped, their methods of committing crimes are very unfamiliar.They sneaked into the station in the dark night, pried open the door and got on the bus. When they were about to steal the goods, they were blocked by the police with bright flashlights and had nowhere to hide. They were eventually arrested.

One of the thieves tried to escape, but was knocked down by small police station police officer Chang Sheng with a stone and quickly subdued.What was originally considered a large-scale theft ended in such a dramatic way. Although there was no damage to the railway property, the number of people arrested was very different from the description in the report call, which made everyone present feel dumbfounded.

Afterwards, Chang Sheng said goodbye to his master Sun Eryong and returned to Huacheng to continue his work at the small police station.During an inspection, he happened to encounter a theft in the waiting room. Zhang Yanbin from the Police Inspectorate Detachment had already controlled Zhao Guangtian, a suspected thief.However, Chang Sheng deliberately got close to Zhao Guangtian and tried to let him go. This move was strongly opposed by Zhang Yanbin.

Chang Sheng used his unique vision to identify the real pickpocket among the crowd and find the stolen goods.He also cleverly used Zhao Guangtian to lure out the pickpocket's accomplices.However, this behavior was criticized by Zhang Yanbin, who believed that his law enforcement was irregular.Later, Zhang Yanbin reported the situation to the leaders of the North Station.Although the leaders had concerns about both parties, they ultimately handed over the issue to Chang Sheng's direct leader, Director Liu.

At the same time, Chang Sheng fell into a storm of public opinion because the video of catching a thief was maliciously edited and spread online.His son Chang Xiaoyong had conflicts with his classmates at school.Although his wife Zhou Ying tried to calm down the conflict, the father and son seemed not to learn from it.On the other hand, Zhang Laixi also encountered a series of challenges after returning to Dongzhai Village from Shenzhen.He was considered a person who could not survive and was ridiculed and provoked by He Laoliu and others.However, Zhang Laixi won the respect of He Laoliu with his own strength, and revealed that he was the whistleblower of the Dongzhai Station theft case.

Chang Sheng suspected that the new theft gang was competing with the previous gang for territory, so he took the initiative to contact his master Sun Eryong to remind him to be careful.However, shortly after the call ended, Sun Eryong was attacked and injured.At the same time, hot water bottles worth more than 6,000 yuan disappeared.And all this seems to be related to Zhang Laixi.He deliberately placed the kettle in a conspicuous location and produced the purchase invoice to clear himself of suspicion.But Chang Sheng did not believe him easily and contacted the Shenzhen police to confirm the authenticity of the invoice.In the end, the leaders decided to send Chang Sheng to Dongzhai Station to deal with this series of complex problems.

Episode 2

In order to satisfy Wang Dongyu's request, Zhang Laixi and others went to Dongzhai Primary School in person to add bricks and tiles to the campus facilities there and repair the damaged walls.Sun Eryong's retirement date was approaching, and his wife was worried that he would be too tired if he returned to Dongzhai, so she went to Director Liu to express her dissatisfaction.But Director Liu is also very helpless, because the situation in Dongzhai is complicated, and only Sun Eryong can solve those thorny problems. Now he really can't find a suitable candidate to take over his job.

Director Liu originally wanted Chang Sheng to persuade Sun Eryong, but Chang Sheng felt that the master's wife's concerns were justified and that the master should really enjoy his retirement life.After school that day, Chang Xiaoyong suddenly lost interest in the cram school and wanted to go to Uncle Li Dong to learn car repair skills.Chang Sheng thought this was a good opportunity to train his child, so he personally sent him to the car repair shop. The two spent a fulfilling and enjoyable afternoon.

However, when they returned home, they were greeted with severe criticism from Zhou Ying.It turns out that Chang Xiaoyong is about to face the exam for promotion from primary school to junior high school, but his academic performance has been unsatisfactory, which makes Zhou Ying very worried.She hoped that her son would be admitted to No. 4 Middle School, so she kept telling Chang Sheng to invite admissions director Zhou Huapeng to dinner and give him a bank card as funding.

Although Chang Sheng ostensibly agreed to his wife's request, in fact he did not want to do so.He believes that as a police officer, he should maintain a clean and honest image, and his reputation will be damaged if he is involved in violations of laws and disciplines.Director Liu continued to persuade Chang Sheng to persuade Sun Eryong, and hinted that he had a great chance of being promoted to deputy director.

After hearing the news, Chang Sheng changed his mind and decided to visit his master Sun Eryong.He frankly told his master that Director Liu had promised him the position of deputy director, and asked his master to return to Dongzhai again for the sake of his apprentice's future.Sun Eryong readily agreed for the sake of his apprentice's future.Director Liu asked people to prepare various daily necessities to make Sun Eryong live more comfortably in Dongzhai.

On the other side, Zhang Yanbin applied to Director Wei for grassroots training and designated to work at the Huacheng North Station Police Station.He believed that the police force there was insufficient and urgently needed reinforcements, and he also wanted to know more about Chang Sheng.In his opinion, although Chang Sheng is an experienced police officer, he often enforces irregularities in law enforcement, which makes him very confused.He hopes to find the root of the problem in the process of working together.

Zhou Ying attended the enrollment information session of the International Department of Huacheng No. 4 Middle School for her son's further education and competed with other parents for admission places.She finally found a chance to talk to admissions director Zhou Huapeng but unexpectedly learned that her husband had never asked him for help.This made Zhou Ying very angry and disappointed. She and Chang Sheng fell into a cold war.

After Director Wei approved Zhang Yanbin's application, he came to work at Huacheng Police Station.The first thing he did was to visit around to learn about the local situation and check out the shops that often made banners for the institute.Chang Sheng received a call from the store owner Lao Hu while on patrol and immediately rushed over and met Zhang Yanbin.After Zhang Yanbin left, Chang Sheng learned through Lao Hu that he was investigating whether the institute was designated to make banners and whether there were kickbacks and other issues.Lao Hu secretly called Chang Sheng because he didn't know how to answer.

Chang Sheng was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Yanbin's arrogance in advocating for Cha Jinqi, but Zhang Yanbin insisted that this was done to ensure fairness and justice.He believes that even if Lao Hu is a zone defender, he should not enjoy special privileges and the price should be reasonable.After seeing the conflict between the two escalate, Director Liu intervened and stated that he could no longer designate Lao Hu as the banner from now on.Although Chang Sheng was a little reluctant, he still accepted the decision.

When Zhou Huapeng learned that Chang Sheng might become the future deputy director, he personally contacted Zhou Ying and prepared for a home visit.After Zhou Ying told Chang Sheng about this, although Chang Sheng was a little reluctant, he temporarily agreed to his wife's request and prepared to welcome Zhou Huapeng's arrival.

Episode 3

In the waiting hall, an old grandmother neglected to monitor her grandson Lele in order to pick up the dropped mineral water bottle.When she turned around to look for her, Lele had disappeared without a trace.The train station started an emergency broadcast to search for someone, and the small police station police were also anxiously searching the crowd. However, Lele had been lured to the toilet by a male trafficker, and was injected with a sedative and fell into a coma.Then, the trafficker shaved off his hair, put on women's clothes, and disguised himself as a girl. He was then taken away from the train station by a female trafficker.

At this time, Zhao Guangtian clashed with tourists for selling fake mineral water, which attracted Chang Sheng's attention, causing him to fail to notice the traffickers passing by.In the end, the police found Lele's hair in the toilet, and the case was handed over to the Criminal Police Team.

Chang Sheng was distracted and failed to rescue Lele in time. He felt deeply guilty and accepted the punishment he might face calmly.Back home, his wife Zhou Ying was dissatisfied because he did not invite Zhou Huapeng. She also complained that the child lacked special skills and was at a disadvantage among his peers.

Early the next morning, Chang Sheng went to the train station to investigate the surveillance and asked his colleagues to help investigate Zhao Guangtian's whereabouts. He also asked Master to pay attention to whether Zhao Guangtian returned to Dongzhai.When Sun Eryong inspected the protective net, he found a hole, picked up a nearby cigarette butt, and recorded it in detail.

Later, Director Liu informed Chang Sheng that although he had not been punished, there was no hope of being transferred to the position of deputy director.The apprentice called to say that Zhao Guangtian was missing after Lele disappeared.At this time, Zhao Guangtian has quietly returned to Dongzhai Village.

Zhou Ying failed to invite the admissions director to dinner and went to see Zhou Huapeng in person with the information. However, after learning that Chang Sheng had no hope of being transferred, Zhou Huapeng changed her attitude and hinted that she would need to spend 500,000 to enroll her child in No. 4 Middle School.Zhou Ying's mood hit rock bottom. Coupled with the fact that a senior client's case was robbed and her performance bonus was lost, she suffered an emotional breakdown.

Zhou Ying accused Chang Sheng of disregarding the future of her family and children and filed for divorce.Chang Sheng angrily pointed out that his wife did not give him a chance to communicate, and the two had no trust at all, and the birthday cake was broken during the quarrel.For their son's birthday, the two temporarily put aside their dispute.However, after the meal, the two argued over the divorce issue. The conflict stemmed from the fact that Chang Sheng's dedication had put too much pressure on his wife.

Chang Sheng reluctantly went to Li Dong's house to spend the night, recalling the sweet past with Zhou Ying in his dream.That night, Sun Eryong encountered a suspicious man while patrolling the line, but his face could not be identified due to the darkness.While chasing the man, Sun Eryong suffered a heart attack and fell to the ground.After receiving the call, Chang Sheng rushed to Dongzhai Station and learned about the death of his master.

Chang Sheng and others rushed to the scene and asked the station to find a car to take Master home.Looking at his master's worn shoes, Chang Sheng took off his own shoes and put them on for him.Since Sun Eryong's child could not return home, Chang Sheng took the initiative to take on the important task of organizing the funeral and contacted friends in the neighborhood to hold a lively funeral for the master.

Episode 4

When Chang Sheng returned home, he expected his wife Zhou Ying to attend Master's memorial service together, but she was given a cold reception. She was inevitably disappointed, so she went to Li Dong's place to spend the night alone.Fortunately, on the day of the memorial service, Sun Eryong's son, Sun Haonan, returned from other places and criticized his father for being busy with official duties and neglecting his family.Chang Sheng patiently persuaded him to understand the responsibilities of the public security and that it was difficult to take care of his family and everyone at the same time.

At the memorial service, police colleagues and neighbors came to express their condolences. Chang Sheng was busy talking to Wei Chu and did not notice Zhou Ying quietly appearing, silently offering chrysanthemums and then leaving quietly.The master's wife noticed that there seemed to be some rift between her and Chang Sheng.Wang Xizhu, director of Dongzhai Village, came in person and bowed and knelt affectionately to express his deep memory of Sun Eryong.

After the memorial service, Director Wei reminded Director Liu to resolve the Dongzhai Station issue as soon as possible. Due to Sun Eryong's sudden death, the successor was a difficult problem.Chang Sheng thought about his master and his marriage difficulties, so he resolutely agreed to go to Dongzhai.Returning home to pack her bags, she told Zhou Ying about the incident and wanted to take this opportunity to think calmly.However, Zhou Ying proposed divorce and asked for a signature, but Chang Sheng refused angrily and put the divorce aside for the time being.

Chang Sheng boarded the train to Dongzhai under the spotlight and was warmly welcomed by the stationmaster Zheng Yi upon arrival.The apprentice returned to Huacheng after handing over the work.Zheng Yi introduced Dongzhai Station to Chang Sheng. At this time, Wang Xizhu's queen Dongyu appeared. She has a fierce personality but a kind heart and is now a primary school teacher in the village.

As soon as Zheng Yi finished the introduction, Zhang Laixi rode an electric tricycle and passed by arrogantly, holding up a “welcome” banner. Zheng Yi helplessly said that he was a second-rate man from Dongzhai, trying to steal the taxi business from the station.After Chang Sheng learned more about Zheng Yi, he went to his master's former residence. The furnishings were simple and clean, and the vegetable garden was full of green.Listening to Master's favorite opera, Chang Sheng wanted to do military boxing in memory, but unexpectedly sprained his waist and broke down crying.

Wang Dongyu met Zhang Laixi by chance and reminded him not to do anything illegal.In order to vent his anger on his master, Yu Yu conspired with Ruan Feizhou to cause trouble for Zhang Yanbin, but was exposed by Director Liu.Chang Sheng's mood gradually stabilized, he told his son Chang Xiaoyong to be obedient, and then fell asleep.Patrolling the line at night, the train station was unusually quiet.

Early the next morning, Chang Sheng was woken up by a rooster and scolded him angrily.Zheng Yi told him that this chicken was raised by the old stationmaster and was later fed by Sun Eryong. He would scream every morning when he got up.Zheng Yi also took Chang Sheng to inspect the cargo yard, explaining possible situations and countermeasures.

Episode 5

In order to force Chang Sheng to give up, Zhang Laixi secretly planned a prank.He asked someone to get a bicycle, and ordered his men to sneak into the station in the middle of the night, and smashed the police room with rocks and wine bottles, causing all the window glass to shatter, and even the door was not spared.By the time Chang Sheng heard the sound and chased him out, the group had already disappeared without a trace.In desperation, Chang Sheng had to call the village director Wang Xizhu for help.

However, this phone call unexpectedly angered Wang Xizhu's daughter Wang Dongyu.In the early morning, she deliberately woke up Chang Sheng, intending to let him experience the feeling of being disturbed as a reward for disturbing his father last night.Faced with Zhang Laixi's increasingly arrogant behavior, Chang Sheng issued a warning, saying that he was eyeing him and began to investigate his past in Shenzhen.

Episode 6

After Wang Xizhu understood the situation clearly, he angrily summoned Zhang Laixi to his home and angrily accused him of not even paying attention to his own words.Zhang Laixi responded that he had been reprimanded by Chang Sheng in public, and it was normal for young people to be a little impulsive.But he firmly denied that he had ordered anyone to smash the police room.Despite this, Wang Xizhu still has doubts in his heart. He always feels that Zhang Laixi did it, so he is very worried that the new small police station policeman Chang Sheng will be dissatisfied with him.

In order to prevent the troublesome behavior of Zhang Laixi and others, Chang Sheng specially found someone to install surveillance cameras nearby, and told them in advance that if they met anyone and asked, they would say that they were the masters who came to install the cameras for him.Not long after, Zhang Laixi and others found a way to sneak into the station again.Chang Sheng had already been hiding in a corner, quietly monitoring their actions.

Episode 7

Chang Sheng came to the school specially to find out something from Wang Dongyu, and asked her about the meaning of words such as "big head", "little man", and "梓子".Wang Dongyu glared at Chang Sheng and asked him for money unceremoniously. She complained that Chen Tiezhen had dropped out of school and her family could not afford the tuition, so she had to save money for him to go to school. This was all thanks to Chang Sheng..Hearing this, Chang Sheng offered to go to Chen Tiezhen's house to do his father's ideological work. Seeing this, Wang Dongyu reluctantly exchanged WeChat messages with him.

On the way back, Chang Sheng met Zhang Laixi and his party again.He sternly warned them that if they dared to do anything illegal or disciplinary, he would personally punish them severely, and he would deal with them quickly and severely.In addition, Chang Sheng also revealed in public the scandal that Zhang Laixi was fired for stealing at the factory.

Episode 8

Li Dong and Lingling felt very uncomfortable when they learned that there was a problem between Chang Sheng and his wife.They thought that if Chang Sheng got divorced, he would be alone. If they wanted to get out of the shadow of divorce, the best way would be to find a new relationship.So, Li Dong plucked up the courage to call Chang Sheng and recommended him, half seriously and half jokingly, to try Shake on WeChat, hoping to help him find new happiness.Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Chang Sheng immediately became angry and roared into the phone.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Laixi and a few people came to the goods yard in the dark, intending to do some sneaky things.Chang Sheng had long expected this move and quietly waited nearby.Unexpectedly, as soon as he was about to take action, he was attacked by Zhang Laixi and the others, and received a blow on the back of his head.Afterwards, Chang Sheng found that he had become a "street rat" in Dongzhai Village. The villagers either treated him coldly or deliberately avoided him. They even refused to sell pork and daily necessities to him.The figure dispersed, unwilling to pay attention to him at all.
