In the play, Anxin is the representative of justice, and his apprentice Xiao Lu is a loyal fan of Anxin. After Anxin was transferred from the Propaganda Department, Xiao Lu disappeared while investigating the February 28th incident.
However, Anxin did not know that Xiao Lu's disappearance was indirectly caused by Anxin.
Xiao Lu is a newcomer who has just joined the work. Following Anxin is tantamount to accepting his apprentice, but Anxin didn't teach Xiao Lu to hide his strength and protect himself.
Peace of mind is different from Xiao Lu in the play. He has an Changlin and Meng Dehai as backstage. So Anxin has been making trouble when he was in the criminal police team, but no one dared to deal with him publicly because they didn't want to offend the people behind him.
Gao Qiqiang got rid of many people who hindered him, but he never got rid of An Xin. One reason is that Anxin helped him when he was down and out, as well as his brother and sister. Another reason is that his sister likes Anxin.
However, Anxin has all the conditions, and his apprentice Xiao Lu has no background, no backer and is alone.
Xiao Lu accepted the case of 228. He was as persistent as Master Anxin, and he dared to investigate no matter who the opponent involved was. This also completely angered Gao Qiqiang and his gang. Gao Qiqiang dare not touch Anxin, but he doesn't care about a small land without background. In this way, Xiao Lu was killed and disappeared in the investigation of the February 28th case.
The Knockout's final outcome: the death penalty.
Huang Yao reported Gao Qiqiang with his real name. In the end, Gao Qiqiang, Tang Xiaolong and Zhao Lidong were sentenced to death, Yang Jian was sentenced to 15 years in prison, Gao was sentenced to 5 years in prison, He Liming, the biggest umbrella, was dismissed and Meng Dehai was demoted. In the play, Gao Qiqiang listed as many crimes as 1 1 in court.
At the end, Gao Qiqiang and An Xin with white hair are separated by a railing. An Xin told the scene of "How can there be so many ifs" in the face of Gao Qiqiang's hypothesis, which made many viewers feel embarrassed. For this ending, in the words of director Xu Jizhou, it was "very cruel" and "terrible victory".
