Synopsis
Guo Cong, head of the Passenger Inspection Division No. 1 at Binhai Huayan Airport Customs, leads officers, including Zhang Yu, in guarding the front line of customs. Within the roughly fifty-meter-long customs entry and exit corridor, they “see through people at a hundred paces,” identifying and intercepting various kinds of smugglers.
In cases such as the genetic sample smuggling case, the carpet-hidden drug case, the Layer upon “Layer Scenery Painting” smuggling case, the HPV nine-valent vaccine smuggling case, the luxury watch smuggling case, the helmeted hornbill headgear smuggling case, and the psychotropic drug smuggling case, they overcome great difficulties, dare to fight, and know how to fight. While protecting national interests, they also grow and transform rapidly through their teamwork, each gaining valuable life treasures along the way.
