Something about the way it was written struck me as a bit of deliberately overdone wink-wink-nudge-nudge (including the "very official Communist-red print"), like the author was having some fun at the authorities' expense.
I think you're right. So... presumably it's Zhao Yunlan's sense of humour masquerading as patriotic formality. Ha!
I also LOVED the bit where Shen Wei dodged the question about following the requisite state atheism
Yesss, it's a lot like that exchange in the drama where Zhao Yunlan asks, "You even know about Dixingren?" :D :D :D
this eerily delightful line by the time any given case was closed, the culprits were all dead made me wonder if that wasn't partly because most of the culprits were dead to begin with!

Yup, pretty sure that's exactly it. :D :D :D
