Killer And Healer Episode 11 Recap
> Killer And Healer Recap
Jiang Yuelou carefully applied a false beard as Chen Yuzhi playfully remarked that he looked like a vegetable vendor, questioning if his disguise was convincing enough to fool Captain Liu. Jiang Yuelou confidently assured him that Captain Liu was on duty patrolling the Western Gate and wouldn't be back. Jiang Yuelou was to pose as Chen Tongyin, Chen Yuzhi's distant relative from the countryside, serving as his assistant.
As Liu Qingfeng's housekeeper arrived to fetch Chen Yuzhi, Song Rong and Sun Yongren prepared for their own mission, with Song Rong noting the fortunate timing that Chen Yuzhi was attending to Liu Qingfeng's wife at his home, potentially linking the Security Department to their investigation. Sun Yongren reminded Song Rong that they only had half an hour, and if they smelled moxibustion upon their return, it meant safety; otherwise, they should retreat immediately.
Upon their arrival, Captain Liu's wife expressed her delight to Chen Yuzhi, praising the effectiveness of his medicine which allowed her to sleep through the night. As Chen Yuzhi began his examination with a stethoscope, Captain Liu walked in and became enraged, misinterpreting the device as inappropriate. Chen Yuzhi calmly explained it was a Western medical instrument used to listen to heartbeats and urged Captain Liu to listen for himself.
Initially hearing nothing, Captain Liu was intrigued by the "Western good," but Chen Yuzhi clarified that both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine had their merits, and he simply used the appropriate tool for the symptoms. Meanwhile, at a suburban factory, Song Rong and Sun Yongren waited as a group of individuals approached. Despite their cautious demeanor, two managed to escape as the agents closed in, leading to a brief chase that was eventually called off.
During Chen Yuzhi's examination of Liu's wife, Jiang Yuelou, disguised as Chen Tongyin, discreetly explored the house. He expertly evaded detection by pretending to have stomach issues when confronted by Captain Liu, who was then distracted by Chen Yuzhi offering him acupuncture. Back at Yuzhi Hall, Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi discussed their discoveries. Jiang Yuelou revealed that in the warehouse behind Captain Liu's house, he observed numerous packages that appeared to be Western soaps.
However, he was certain they were not. He explained that the old factory in the suburbs manufactured wrapping paper specifically designed to disguise opium as soap for transport into the city. With Liu Qingfeng of the Security Department providing a tacit green light and the Western packaging acting as a perfect cover, ordinary security soldiers would be unable to detect the illicit goods. Jiang Yuelou regretted not having enough time to inspect the cargo before it was moved.
Chen Yuzhi noted that uncovering Liu Qingfeng's connection to the suburban factory already made their trip worthwhile, confident that by following these clues, they would eventually expose the mastermind. For security reasons, Jiang Yuelou decided he would not visit Yuzhi Hall for a few days, instructing Chen Yuzhi to use their established method for contact if any new information surfaced.
Executive Zhan accompanied Boss Yu to a tailor's shop, where Executive Zhan generously offered to cover the cost of a new opera costume, including a phoenix crown with pearls, suitable for performing "Drunken Concubine." Boss Yu initially protested accepting such a gift without merit, but Executive Zhan insisted it was a present for his new play. As Boss Yu was trying on the costume, an assassin attacked Executive Zhan. Boss Yu heroically shielded Executive Zhan, taking a knife wound.
Executive Zhan quickly reacted, eliminating both attackers. Meanwhile, at the grand Daxing trading firm, Uncle Zhong tried to impress Ms. Zhao, meticulously detailing the various luxurious goods from around the world, including ivory from Southeast Asia, thousand-year-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain, famous French wines, Italian jewelry, and world-renowned Indian silks and French ties. Bored by his half an hour lecture, Ms. Zhao claimed she needed fresh air and quickly exited the store.
Spotting Jiang Yuelou passing by, she enthusiastically greeted him, but Jiang Yuelou, preoccupied, simply acknowledged her and walked away, prompting Ms. Zhao to comment on his peculiar demeanor, yet strangely admit she found it appealing. Though Boss Yu's life was not in immediate danger, his injuries were severe, affecting his body and throat, which would likely prevent him from ever singing again.
Executive Zhan later explained to Chen Yuzhi that the deep wound and significant blood loss were the cause, lamenting that the attack was likely intended for him due to the Finance Department's new policies, which his subordinates had implemented too aggressively, causing public resentment unfairly directed at him.
He requested Chen Yuzhi to stay at his mansion overnight to care for Boss Yu, a request Chen Yuzhi agreed to, but first needed to return to his clinic for anti-inflammatory medication and to see another patient. Executive Zhan then secretly ordered his men to guard Boss Yu.
Recognizing the attackers as Jiang Yuelou's men, Executive Zhan also instructed Han Zhong to visit Liu Qingfeng, ensuring he remained cooperative, and if necessary, to orchestrate a "suicide" to frame him and divert Jiang Yuelou's attention. Meanwhile, Song Rong and Sun Yongren reported to Jiang Yuelou that their raid had alerted the factory operators, who would likely abandon the site. Jiang Yuelou noted that two main clues remained: Liu Qingfeng and the mysterious Western soap.
He assigned Sun Yongren to discreetly monitor Liu Qingfeng and Song Rong to investigate the market for any information regarding the Western soap. Commissioner Bai also spoke with Jiang Yuelou, cautioning him that his pursuit of the opium trade was akin to "cutting off their wealth," making him a target, and urged him to be careful. Jiang Yuelou reassured him he would live to see the opium trade eradicated from Jing City.
Chu Ran arrived at the police bureau intending to annul her engagement to Jin Dacheng. Jin, dismissive of her request, attempted to force her to choose a wedding date, expressing his initial surprise at her beauty, despite his wife having arranged the marriage to secure an heir. He boasted about the prestige of marrying into his family, believing it to be a great fortune for her. Jiang Yuelou happened to pass by and, hearing the commotion, entered the office.
Jin Dacheng asserted it was a private family matter and none of Jiang Yuelou's concern. Jin then recalled seeing Chu Ran speaking with Jiang Yuelou outside the police station previously and mockingly accused Jiang Yuelou, a "grim-faced policeman," of having an "unclear relationship" with his "second wife." Chu Ran, seizing the opportunity, brazenly admitted to such a relationship, hoping to deter Jin.
To her dismay, her ruse backfired; Jin Dacheng, far from being discouraged, became even more determined to marry her. He then feigned an urgent call from Commissioner Bai to get rid of Jiang Yuelou. Shortly after, Jin Dacheng arrived at Yuzhi Hall with a contingent of armed officers, demanding a search. Chen Yuzhi, surprised by the aggressive display, asked what crime he was accused of and requested to see a search warrant.
Jin Dacheng arrogantly declared that his face was his search warrant in Jing City and accused Chen Yuzhi of being an opium seller. Despite Chen Yuzhi's protests that he possessed no such illicit substances, Jin Dacheng ordered his men to ransack the premises. The officers diligently searched but initially found nothing. Eventually, one of Jin Dacheng's men dramatically "found" a box containing what appeared to be opium, clearly planting the evidence to frame Chen Yuzhi.
