Dark Night and Dawn Episode 29 Recap
> Dark Night and Dawn Recap
With Lin Shaobai's cleverness, he had long seen that this medical examination was a test for Old Chen. Old Lu reminded him to keep his mouth shut. The X-ray results came out, proving that Old Chen indeed had a disability in his left leg, and it was an old injury from many years ago. However, this could not dispel Old Lu and the others' suspicions about Chen Rushan. It's possible this move by Chen Rushan was a disguise.
Despite having an injury in his left leg, he repeatedly refused to go for the medical examination initially to arouse suspicion, and after proving he indeed had a disability, he wanted to completely dispel the suspicion against him. However, as experienced counter-espionage personnel, Old Lu, Lin Shaobai, and Li Yaohong would not be easily fooled.
Chen Rushan met with Shrike, and Shrike told him not to take any action recently, trying to make the investigation by the Social Affairs Department fall through. Shi Pengfei and Old Zhou went to Ningbo to investigate, but Boss Qiao said he hadn't seen Li Yuquan. Shi Pengfei immediately called back to inform Lu Zhengyang.
Lu Zhengyang ordered an immediate search of all places related to Li Yuquan, and in his office, a confession letter was found, which stated that the sugar refinery had been researching anthrax. Lu Zhengyang led people to the sugar refinery without delay. The research laboratory was empty. Old Lu ordered someone to notify the forensic department personnel to come over. Office Two analyzed the authenticity of the confession letter.
Lin Shaobai, through a detail, was certain that the confession letter was written by Li Yuquan himself. Old Lu asked for Old Chen's opinion. Old Chen suggested setting up a cordon to find Li Yuquan's whereabouts. Upon testing, the sugar refinery's research laboratory was the source of the anthrax bacteria. The anthrax bombs were indeed a deceptive tactic. Lin Shaobai took Grandma Er to inquire about the situation with Mrs. Li. Mrs.
Li's reaction made Lin Shaobai realize that she was indeed completely unaware of Li Yuquan being a secret agent. However, Mrs. Li said that Li Yuquan loved playing chess, which caught Lin Shaobai's attention. He then examined the chess set and unexpectedly discovered a key. Further investigation revealed the key's address was Room 403 of Jian'an Hotel. They immediately rushed to the hotel but were a step too late; Li Yuquan had already been silenced.
The murderer used dumdum bullets, the same as the third party who tried to kill Wang Liqun. Lin Shaobai suggested treating a desperate situation as if there's still hope, betting that Shrike didn't know Li Yuquan was dead, and using the opportunity to force Old Chen to make a move. Before the operation, Old Lu specifically left Old Chen, Old Xu, and Xiaoman behind.
As soon as Old Lu and the others left, Old Chen left the office on the pretext of getting materials from the bureau and went to a phone booth to transmit intelligence to Xu Wei. Li Yaohong, who had been tapping the phone booth's line, confirmed that Old Chen was the secret agent codenamed Linchi. Xu Wei came to silence him but was ambushed midway. He escaped, and Old Lu's capture plan failed.
To avoid Shrike's suspicion, Old Lu decided to act as if nothing had happened. Dumdum bullets were found at the crime scene, making it almost certain that the third party did it again. Xu Wei and Xiao Yun both advised Shrike to evacuate. Shrike disagreed. He calmly analyzed and found that Jin Maochang might be setting a trap, and Li Yuquan might not have absconded with the money as Jin Maochang claimed.
So he asked Xu Wei to call Jin Maochang, but the phone was constantly busy. The phone couldn't be reached, but Jin Maochang came himself. Shrike instructed Xu Wei to immediately eliminate Jin Maochang if he found anything amiss. Old Jin came over to explain. His lie had no flaws. And after Shrike's questioning, he admitted to making Li Yuquan take the blame.
Old Lu wasn't in a hurry to arrest Old Chen, keeping him on a long leash to catch a big fish. However, the matter was significant, and Deputy Director Yang needed to discuss it with several leaders before making a decision. Shrike and his group were people who could overturn the chessboard at any time. For his daughter's safety, Jin Maochang specially obtained a letter of admission from Professor Lin Ji. Classes would start after the New Year. Jin Yan was also very happy to be able to study under Professor Lin Ji.
