C.I.D. (刑警2人组) is a Singaporean police drama which aired in 2006 on MediaCorp Channel 8. The series debuted in June 2006 and was screened on weekday nights at 9pm.

The series was directed by Chong Liung Man (张龙敏) and starred Tay Ping Hui and Qi Yuwu in the main lead roles. Five years later, Chong would go on to direct award-winning police blockbuster C.L.I.F., which also features Tay and Qi in the main roles as colleagues in the CID. Rare for a locally produced drama, certain scenes were filmed on location outside Southeast Asia; there were several scenes which took place in Taiwan and were filmed in the country itself.

Sean is a CID officer and team leader. Together with his elite team of investigators, Zhang Zhihua, Lin Yaoshan and Wu Guoxiong, and forensic scientist Fang Jiayi, they tackle several cases.

The first case involves a string of triad execution-style murders tied with the notorious local triad. They are traced to a man called Tang Siwei, who is a member of Xiang Dahai's gang. Xiang Dahai ("Hai-ge") is a notorious "ah long" and head of the local syndicate. Recently, one of his men Lin Chenghui has been down on his luck and had several operations and gambling dens shut down. His partner is Tang Siwei, whom the CID has been tracking down. The murder count keeps piling up and evidence shows Tang Siwei is not the killer. The police manage to close down the syndicate and arrest Hai-ge. To Sean's shock, Siwei is actually a fellow CID officer who went undercover as a gang member as part of a dangerous covert operation to crack down on the local triads. After Chenghui was killed by another triad member, Siwei took it upon himself to help Chenghui's widow out guilt and compassion but did not disclose his occupation so that they would accept his help.

Tang Siwei's boss decides to transfer him to Sean's team. Although highly competent and intelligent, his aloof and seemingly anti-social nature makes the rest of the team feel uncomfortable. Sean and Siwei's relationship got off to a terrible start as they had locked horns several times before Siwei's transfer. Eventually, Siwei earns his colleagues' respect and is well-regarded by Sean. Siwei meets Fang Jiayi, the resident forensic expert, and mistook her for his missing sister. Unknown to the both of them, Siwei's mother and Jiayi's father have been hiding a deep dark secret for almost two decades.
