Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

In the small conference room of Shanghai Police Headquarters.

"Director Li, how many people can your Public Security Bureau mobilize to participate in this mission?" The deputy mayor said to Director Li with a serious expression.

"Deputy Mayor Zhao, our Public Security Bureau simply doesn't have enough staff. We can only mobilize 300 people, but for our entire Shanghai Stock Exchange, this is completely a drop in the bucket." Director Li looked a little embarrassed.

"I know your difficulties, but we must overcome them and work hard to complete the task! The city government will draw a regiment of soldiers from the garrison to cooperate with your work! This mission must be successful, and failure is absolutely not allowed!" Deputy Mayor Zhao's serious expression made Director Li feel awe-inspiring. He didn't expect that Zheng Chaoyang's proposal for a severe crackdown would be taken so seriously by the city.

In fact, not only Director Li was surprised, but even Deputy Mayor Zhao was very surprised. After all, after the matter was reported to the municipal government, Mayor Chen specifically discussed it with everyone at the Standing Committee meeting.

Faced with the serious sabotage activities of spies in the market today, it's not that we're not working hard, but there are simply too many of them. Many operations are reported to the spies in advance, and even as we're about to launch an operation, the spies have already fled! This has caused great inconvenience to our anti-espionage work!

"Deputy Mayor Zhao, since we have decided to start a severe crackdown, why do we need to inform the entire city in advance and let criminals and even citizens know about our actions three days in advance?" Director Li asked curiously.

"Mayor Chen said that this is our first large-scale operation after the liberation of Shanghai! Shanghai is also an international metropolis. Although many foreign institutions and individuals have withdrawn, there are still many people who remain in Shanghai. We must pay attention to our image and influence. The publicity three days in advance is also to persuade those ordinary people. Then we will catch the real bad elements!" Deputy Mayor Zhao's expression eased.

"I understand. Our Municipal Bureau will definitely complete the task!" Director Li nodded seriously after hearing what Deputy Mayor Zhao said, and ended the meeting.

After the meeting, all newspapers and radio stations in Shanghai received a joint notice from the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau regarding a crackdown! They were instructed to publish on newspaper headlines and radio broadcasts the announcement that the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Municipal Public Security Bureau would begin a week-long crackdown on illegal and criminal activities in three days. Citizens were reminded to control themselves during this period and report any illegal, criminal, and espionage activities! Reports would receive generous rewards!

This notice made everyone in the city feel that a storm was about to come.

Of course, ordinary people listened to the advice and planned to go to get off work and come home honestly in the next few days, and stay at home quietly without going out.

However, those spies or members of the spies' peripheral organizations did not take the warnings issued by the Shanghai Municipal Government seriously at all. After all, Shanghai's control was very strict before, and it is believed that this time it may be even more severe.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know that this crackdown was a pilot decision made after Mayor Chen reported it to Beiping. It was aimed at eradicating those criminals and spies to the greatest extent possible!

What they are about to face is a vast ocean of storms and people's war!

When Zhao Cheng learned the news, he was eating lunch at a stall.

"Tsk tsk, they move really fast! It seems the Shanghai government is also being forced into a corner. These spies are so rampant, it will be difficult to deal with them without taking some measures!" Zhao Cheng read the newspaper while observing the situation around him.

Zhao Cheng has not been idle these days. Ever since he was exhausted from walking all day, Zhao Cheng asked Zheng Chaoyang to buy him a bicycle. He rides the bicycle through the streets and alleys of Shanghai every day.

There were so many people around during the day that he could only observe with his eyes, which was not very helpful. Later one night, Zhao Cheng couldn't sleep, so he went out for a walk on his bike and discovered a spy base.

It was bad luck for the spy in this stronghold. He was sending a telegram in the house late at night and was heard by Zhao Cheng who was passing by the door.

After repeated observations, Zhao Cheng discovered the antenna hidden among the potted plants on the roof. Zhao Cheng immediately memorized the location and left.

The next day, Zheng Chaoyang was notified to arrest people. A list of more than 20 hidden spies, a code book, a radio, and several guns were seized, and six spies were arrested.

This made Zheng Chaoyang's opinions more important. Even Tian Dan became more interested in Zhao Cheng's listening ability.

When riding a bike on the road, Zhao Cheng could hear the sound of radio transmission in the room on the second floor. His ears were almost as good as a fox!

Tian Dan even suggested that Zhao Cheng should just sleep during the day and go out for a bike ride around the streets at night, and he should be able to find some such radio stations.

Zhao Cheng sternly refused. "Why would I need to go out and listen to the radio station myself?" "Don't we have radio detection vehicles?" Zhao Cheng was definitely not going to do it. He had a machine but didn't want to use it all by himself.

After hearing what Zhao Cheng said, Tian Dan actually asked if there was such a thing. To her surprise, it really existed!

However, only a few of these radio detection vehicles exist in Northeast China. Even Peking hasn't used one yet. If you want one, you'll have to wait.

In the end, Tian Dan's various promises of benefits failed to convince Zhao Cheng to become a humanoid detection vehicle. He had no choice but to wait for support from his superiors.

"The crackdown has begun and the streets will start to become quiet. After this week, when grid management is truly implemented, it will be difficult for spies to hide. Unless they are those who are lurking in deep areas, they will be really hard to find!" Zhao Cheng thought secretly.

Zhao Cheng wandered around for another afternoon but didn't find any valuable information, so he had to return to his rental house.

"No, big sister, are you so free? Go and deal with Liu Rusi when you have time! Why do you always come to me? I said that I would never be that humanoid detection vehicle even if you kill me! Just give up on this idea!" Zhao Cheng opened the door and entered the room, and saw Tian Dan sitting on the bed reading a book.

"Don't worry, we're not asking you to do this! Our own imitation detection vehicle is also in the production stage, and I believe it will be used soon." Tian Dan found it funny to see Zhao Cheng's nervous look.

"That's good. Then why are you here today? Have you dealt with Liu Rusi?" Zhao Cheng asked curiously.

"Not yet. We found that the man with Liu Rusi might have a foreign background, so we didn't act rashly. Instead, we wanted to see if we could catch a big fish from abroad!" said Tian Dan.

"No, this woman has colluded with foreign forces? Is she having so much fun? She's so brave!" Zhao Cheng sighed.

"Well, because he had already gone to Mingzhu, but for some reason he came back recently, and he even got involved with foreign forces. We are investigating the reasons and I believe there will be results soon. What's the matter? Are you afraid that Liu Rusi will be caught and taken home and it will be difficult to explain?" Tian Dan joked.

"Then you underestimate me. I have the final say in my family. Pingping will have no objection to what I say. Even Liu Rusi is not enough for me to explain anything to Pingping!" Zhao Cheng said confidently.
