Synopsis
In the winter of 2002, Peng Zhaolin, the captain of the Snow City criminal police, received a report about a murder case in a residential building. After searching the crime scene, the police gathered information on four suspects, led by Deng Ligang, who had already fled to another province. The police tracked them across multiple provinces, but the criminal gang suddenly disappeared without a trace. In early 2004, Peng Zhaolin received a report about the kidnapping of a high school girl named Zhen Zhen.
After arguing with her mother, Zhen Zhen ran away from home and went to Luan City in the southern region, where she was kidnapped. To Peng Zhaolin's surprise, the kidnapper was the long-hidden Deng Ligang gang. The Snow City police immediately rushed to Luan City and successfully rescued Zhen Zhen, but the Deng Ligang gang once again escaped. In the winter of 2011, Peng Zhaolin discovered a clue that Deng Ligang's brother had received medical treatment in Snow City.
Following this lead, he traced their whereabouts and discovered that Deng Ligang and his gang had changed their names and were hiding in the small city of Suilu in the northwest. With the assistance of local police, Snow City police set up a tight surveillance and finally brought Deng Ligang and his gang to justice.
