Film and Television: My Cheat Code is AI

After arriving at the Municipal Bureau, Lao Zheng sat in the car, finished smoking his cigarette, threw it out the window, got out of the car, closed the door, stomped out the still-burning cigarette, and walked towards the office building.

Old Zheng walked to the door and knocked twice.

"Come in."

He pushed open the door, but stopped abruptly after taking just one step inside.

The office wasn't large; in the center was a dark solid wood desk with a row of folders, a white porcelain teacup, and an old-fashioned green lampshade table lamp.

Director Ma sat behind the desk, his gray hair neatly combed, and a pair of reading glasses perched on his nose.

On the left sat Deputy Director Liu, a man in his fifties with a slightly protruding belly, one hand resting on the armrest. On the right sat the political commissar, a tall, thin man with his legs crossed and an unlit cigarette between his fingers.

Three people, six eyes, all watching him.

Old Zheng quickly waved his hand, smiling as he said, "No, no, I'm just late."

Director Ma nodded and pointed to the seat next to him, saying, "Sit down."

After Zheng Yimin sat down, Director Ma said, "Let's start the meeting now."

"The Haida case has been going on for over a year now, and our informant has already withdrawn. Now let's discuss how to cleanly and efficiently take down the Haida case and completely eliminate this scourge."

When Lao Zheng heard this, he was surprised to learn that the case had been underway for over a year, while Yang Zhen had only been infiltrating Wu Jun'er's inner circle for a few months. It seemed that the leadership had a clear vision.

Director Ma glanced at Lao Zheng and said, "Lao Zheng, you're now in charge of the special task force. What are your thoughts?"

Old Zheng put down his cigarette and said, "Gu Yang has confessed. He revealed that a car will be coming from the coastal highway to our area tomorrow night. We request the bureau's assistance in checking vehicles coming from the coastal direction on the highway."

Qin Liguo then said, "We have the information. It's a truck transporting feed. It will exit the highway tomorrow evening. The transaction will take place at an abandoned brick kiln in the northern suburbs."

Upon hearing this, Lao Zheng glanced at Qin Liguo, surprised that they had more information than the special task force. At this moment, Director Ma introduced, "This is Comrade Qin Liguo, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Corps."

Old Zheng stood up, saluted, and said, "I didn't expect this case to have alarmed the entire headquarters."

Qin Liguo also stood up and returned the greeting, saying, "This case was initially handled by the headquarters, and was later transferred to the municipal bureau. We only provided intelligence assistance."

Old Zheng said, "Thank you to the General Team for their help to our task force."

He continued, "The task force is currently under the command of Yang Zhen. We have decided to officially launch the operation tomorrow night, dividing into three groups: one group will intercept the vehicle on the highway, one group will keep an eye on Zhao Fei, the boss of Haida, and one group will wait at the abandoned brick kiln. After we take the vehicle, we will pretend to be transaction personnel to conduct the transaction."

After exchanging a few words with the two bureau chiefs beside him, Director Ma said, "Alright, let's proceed according to your plan." Turning to Qin Liguo, he asked, "Captain Qin, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Qin Liguo stood up, took out a photo from his bag, and said, "This man is Zhang Li. He is a confidant of Zhao Fei, the boss of Haida, and also his driver. You need to keep a close eye on him."

After glancing at the photo, Old Zheng asked, puzzled, "Zhao Fei's driver? Isn't his driver named Zhang Yang?"

Upon hearing the name "Zhang Yang," Director Ma and Qin Liguo remained unfazed. Qin Liguo continued, "This is Zhang Yang's predecessor, a close confidant of Zhao Fei. According to intelligence, Zhao Fei has been plotting his escape with Zhang Li these past two days."

Old Zheng, holding the photo, said, "Okay, I'll have someone keep an eye on Zhang Li."

Qin Liguo knew from the serious look in Lao Zheng's eyes that he would definitely send someone to keep an eye on Zhang Li, and that way Zhang Yang's wish could be fulfilled.

That bastard Zhao Fei prevented Zhang Yang from returning to the police force and prevented Qin Feng's family from reuniting. Now, the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight.

After the meeting, Lao Zheng walked at the back: "Team Leader Qin."

Qin Liguo turned to look at Lao Zheng, then said to Director Ma and the others, "You guys go first, I'll be there in a bit."

After watching Director Ma and the others walk away, Old Zheng finally asked, "Does Zhao Fei still have any of our men with him?"

Qin Liguo shook his head and said, "No, you don't have the authority to know anything else right now. Just focus on your own work."

"Yes, sir." Old Zheng saluted and said, "Captain Qin, I'll be going now."

"it is good."

……

Yang Zhen and his team were discussing the action plan when Lao Zheng returned and said, "I just went to a meeting at the bureau, and the director said he would provide all the assistance we need."

Yang Zhen also said, "Ji Jie just called and said that Zhou Long called her and said that a truck transporting feed was suspicious."

Old Zheng added, "The intelligence from the bureau also indicates that a feed truck will be arriving on Highway 3 tomorrow afternoon. The information from both sides matches up." After lighting a cigarette, he continued, "Their rendezvous point is an abandoned brick kiln in the northern suburbs. Yang Zhen, please arrange the operation."

Yang Zhen tossed aside the red and blue pencils in his hand and said, "I, Lao Zheng, Ding Jian, Chang Baole, and I will lead a team of special police to check Highway 3 and seize this shipment. The brothers in Group 4, keep an eye on that old bastard Zhao Fei."

"The brothers from Group Five led the armed police and special police to the abandoned brick kiln in the northern suburbs. Once we arrived with the goods, we would take them all."

The crowd replied, "Yes."

At this moment, Lao Zheng said, "Fourth Group, your group leader also came from our Sixth Group. Since your Group Leader Huang is not here, I will take over. You must pay attention to this man named Zhang Li. He is Zhao Fei's confidant. According to intelligence, Zhao Fei is currently plotting to escape, and Zhang Li is the key."

"When we begin our operation, you must hold Zhao Fei and Zhang Li at bay. Economic Investigation officers will be coming to handle things at the Haida Building."

Yang Zhen said, "Did everyone understand? The task now is to eat, sleep, and conserve our energy."

"Yes."

……

Knowing this matter was finally coming to an end, Zhang Yang returned to his room. He began using special equipment to check his home for listening devices, a habit of his. To his surprise, he detected four listening devices in just one hour, indicating that his house had already been thoroughly inspected by the police.

Zhang Yang just smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Yang played foreign vinyl records on an old-fashioned record player, went to the bathroom and turned all the water on full blast, then took out his phone to call Zhao Fei.

We need to provoke Zhao Fei, otherwise he'll really run away.

"Hey, Fei-ge."

Zhao Fei was surprised to receive Zhang Yang's call and asked, "Yangzi? What do you want?"

Zhang Yang said, "Brother Fei, weren't we supposed to go out together tonight?"

Zhao Fei calmly said, "No need. Zhang Li is here, so I'll go with him. Get your passport ready; we're taking off the day after tomorrow."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Fei."

Zhang Yang shouted in his heart: Bean Bun

[Zhao Fei's wording is stiff. Voice analysis shows abnormal pauses between sentences; there's a 0.8-second pause after "no need," and the speech rate for "just right" is about 15% faster than usual. Probability of lying: 87%.]

Zhang Yang knew Zhao Fei was lying, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Zhang Yang thought for a moment and then said: Doubao, I want to change your name.

[Welcome, host, to rename this AI. What would you like to change it to?]

Zhang Yang raised the corners of his mouth and said: Deep Blue.

DeepBlue is at your service.
