Background / History

Wei Zi initially served as the Patrol Bureau’s handgun instructor. Wen Lujia’s ammunition quota was transferred to Xiao Wang for firearms training, and Wei Zi became suspicious of the unusually close attention Wen gave him 73.

She trained Xiao Wang from scratch, beginning with physical fitness tests, shooting theory, handgun assembly and disassembly, ballistics, and firing positions. Her instruction was demanding, but she repeatedly demonstrated techniques and monitored his improvement closely 73 79 85 122.

During Hu Guangzhong’s promotion banquet, Wei Zi was revealed to be the daughter of Deputy Director Wei Hui. Her father’s open praise of Xiao Wang’s shooting embarrassed and irritated her 102.

Although she initially worked only in the firearms hall, Wei Zi wanted to enter field operations. She accepted Xiao Wang’s invitation to serve as a sniper during the operation against Wei Tieshan’s underground boxing ring, then asked him to support her transfer to Team Three after proving herself in the mission 289 292.

Her experience against Wei Tieshan shook her confidence: despite firing repeatedly, she could not reliably hit an opponent whose movement and observation abilities exceeded ordinary targets. Xiao Wang persuaded her that her support had been vital, and Wei Hui ultimately allowed her to enter field operations 311 312. She later joined Xiao Wang’s rebuilt Group One, Team Four 314.

Appearance

Wei Zi is a tall woman, approximately 1.73 meters in height, with a delicate face, long legs, a defined athletic build, and a high ponytail 71.

• Often wears practical, fitted training clothes, boots, and cropped jackets in the firearms hall 71 72.
• Has also worn a short skirt and flats during instruction, and a purple evening gown at Hu Guangzhong’s banquet 79 100.
• Commonly carries a small black leather whip while training students 71 72.
• Uses a sniper rifle during field operations 291 295.

Personality

Wei Zi is blunt, demanding, and intolerant of excuses. She expects direct answers from trainees, strictly enforces punctuality, and pushes students through physically punishing exercises before allowing them to progress to shooting practice 72 73 85.

She is also proud of her marksmanship and initially dismissive when Xiao Wang claims to understand long-range ballistics better than she does. After successfully hitting an eighty-meter target using his calculations, she is visibly shaken, but honors their wager and later seeks the explanation she had been too proud to request directly 86 87.

Behind her intimidating manner, Wei Zi is ambitious and wants her skills used in meaningful fieldwork rather than exclusively in a training hall. Her frustration after the Wei Tieshan operation becomes motivation to improve rather than abandon that goal 292 311 312.

Marksmanship

Wei Zi is regarded as the Patrol Bureau’s best marksman and provides the long-range firepower for Xiao Wang’s field team 292.

• Provided the suppressive fire and opening needed for Wen Lujia, Qu Wan’er, and Xiao Wang to defeat Wei Tieshan 305 306 308.

Ballistics and Firearms Analysis

Wei Zi applies shooting knowledge beyond the range, including reconstructing crime scenes from bullet trajectories.

• Recreated the positions and firing angles involved in Guan Zhongnan’s postmortem gunshots, determining that the head and body shots had been fired by the same person after he had fallen 178.
• Understands the distinction between a handgun’s effective range and its maximum bullet travel distance, though she initially disputed Xiao Wang’s eighty-meter calculation 86.
• Recognizes the limitations of range accuracy against high-speed martial artists, especially after Wei Tieshan evaded repeated shots 305 311.

Field Operations

Wei Zi transitioned from instructor to field operative after participating in the crackdown on the Life-and-Death Arena.
