Killer And Healer Episode 12 Recap
> Killer And Healer Recap
Chen Yuzhi was framed with opium and arrested by Chief Jin's men. Meanwhile, Han Zhong watched the scene from a distance. Executive Zhan repeatedly tried to call Chen Yuzhi's clinic but couldn't get through, assuming Chen was simply occupied. He instructed his subordinate to arrange for a western doctor from the Church Clinic and prepared to keep his appointment with Section Chief Jiang, prioritizing official business.
On the street, Jiang Yuelou witnessed a man violently assaulting his wife, a scene that painfully reminded him of his own mother's suffering. Enraged, he intervened, declaring that a man who beats his wife is "unmanly" and "unworthy of being a parent." After helping the woman, Jiang Yuelou continued his walk, deep in thought. Meanwhile, Chu Ran arrived at Yuzhi Hall to find it swarming with police.
A bystander informed her that Doctor Chen had been arrested by "Chief Jin" for allegedly selling opium. Alarmed, Chu Ran immediately tried to call the police station to reach Jiang Yuelou, but was told he had already left and his home address could not be disclosed. Later, while passing through an alley, Chu Ran spotted Jiang Yuelou and urgently informed him that Chen Yuzhi had been arrested.
Jiang Yuelou reacted with immediate concern and rushed off, telling her not to follow him. Shortly after, Executive Zhan encountered Chu Ran and offered her a ride, introducing himself as Zhan Junbai, a friend to both Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi. They decided to travel together by car. At the police bureau, Chief Jin subjected Chen Yuzhi to a brutal interrogation, demanding a confession about the opium and the identity of his "partner."
Despite being severely beaten, Chen Yuzhi vehemently denied the accusations, insisting, "That's not mine." When pressed for details, Chen Yuzhi only requested to see Jiang Yuelou, which Chief Jin twisted into an admission that Jiang Yuelou was his accomplice in a secret opium trade. Just then, a guard frantically reported that Section Chief Jiang Yuelou was forcefully breaking in with a gun. Jiang Yuelou confronted Chief Jin, demanding Chen Yuzhi's release.
When Chief Jin refused, Jiang Yuelou, disregarding their "colleague" status, shot Chief Jin in the arm. Enraged, Chief Jin ordered his men to open fire on Jiang Yuelou, but Commissioner Bai arrived just in time, stopping the escalating confrontation. Commissioner Bai sternly reprimanded Jiang Yuelou, warning him that his actions were only making things worse for Chen Yuzhi, and ordered him to leave with him. In another location, Han Zhong confided in Brother Huo his suspicions about Chen Yuzhi.
He revealed that investigations showed Chen Yuzhi was the only person, besides their own men, to have visited Liu's home since the old factory's exposure, ostensibly for a patient visit. Furthermore, a man named Chaozi had also visited Yuzhi Hall just before his arrest, making it difficult to dismiss these incidents as mere coincidences.
Brother Huo added a crucial piece of information: Miss Zhao was seen meeting Jiang Yuelou in front of Daxing Firm, which is also located in front of Yuzhi Hall. Han Zhong concluded that Chen Yuzhi was an informant for Jiang Yuelou, and they were colluding. Brother Huo proposed a plan to use this apparent connection against them, spreading the "amazing" news of a "policeman who bans opium trades and a doctor who hides opium scheming together."
Han Zhong approved the "good idea," instructing Brother Huo to arrange for an anonymous tip to be called into the police bureau, specifically to the person who most despised Jiang Yuelou, ensuring a predetermined outcome. He declared that Chen Yuzhi would pay for his "rashness." Commissioner Bai furiously chastised Jiang Yuelou, accusing him of reckless behavior and believing he could act with impunity within the police bureau.
Jiang Yuelou adamantly asserted Chen Yuzhi's innocence regarding opium trafficking, but Commissioner Bai countered that regardless, Chen Yuzhi was now in prison with clear evidence against him. Jiang Yuelou argued that Chief Jin's brutal interrogation methods meant that Chen Yuzhi would be crippled or even dead before he could unearth the truth. Understanding the urgency, Commissioner Bai agreed to secure Chen Yuzhi's release from Chief Jin's custody and guaranteed his safety until the truth was uncovered.
However, this came with a strict condition: Jiang Yuelou must immediately apologize to Chief Jin. Jiang Yuelou initially refused, but Commissioner Bai sternly warned him that Chief Jin would leverage the incident to tarnish Jiang Yuelou's reputation and report him to the Municipal Council and Mayor Cai if he didn't comply. He emphasized that for Jiang Yuelou to save Chen Yuzhi, he must first ensure his own position and freedom, or both would end up unjustly imprisoned.
In the interim, Executive Zhan arrived at the police bureau to request Chen Yuzhi's release, citing that Doctor Chen had performed life-saving surgery on his critically injured patient, Boss Yu. Despite Chief Jin's initial reluctance, Executive Zhan used his reputation as leverage, also subtly implying increased funding for Chief Jin's department, which swiftly secured Chen Yuzhi's release. Shortly after Executive Zhan left, Jiang Yuelou, having been persuaded by Commissioner Bai, arrived at the jail to apologize.
He immediately went to Chen Yuzhi, who was lying injured on the ground, and helped him up. Jiang Yuelou then offered a formal apology to Chief Jin for injuring him. Unsatisfied, Chief Jin demanded multiple apologies, mocking Jiang Yuelou's sincerity. Finally, to settle the "account" for the gunshot wound, Chief Jin forced Jiang Yuelou to shoot himself in the arm. After this humiliating ordeal, Jiang Yuelou helped the severely injured Chen Yuzhi out of the police bureau.
Commissioner Bai and Executive Zhan later discussed the unusual coincidence of both of them having come to secure Chen Yuzhi's release. Outside, Jiang Yuelou expressed his gratitude to Executive Zhan. He then instructed Chen Yuzhi not to return to Yuzhi Hall for the time being, but to rest at home until the ongoing investigation was complete.
Upon returning to his mansion, Executive Zhan inquired about Boss Yu's condition from his guard, learning that the western doctor had changed his dressing overnight and he only needed ample rest. Executive Zhan instructed his staff to prepare nutritious soup for Boss Yu. When Executive Zhan entered Boss Yu's room, Boss Yu, who had just woken up, quickly feigned sleep.
Boss Yu lamented that he wouldn't be able to perform opera for a while, to which Executive Zhan responded reassuringly that he would have "too much time to sing" once he fully recovered, carefully omitting the more serious implications of his injuries. He had also informed Boss Yu's theatrical troupe leader that Boss Yu would be recuperating at the Zhan Mansion.
Chu Ran reported for her new job at Jing City Daily, where she was surprised to find her roommate, Ding Jia, already working there. Ding Jia excitedly told the editor that they were "destined," having just become roommates and now colleagues. The editor welcomed Chu Ran and assigned her a temporary desk, instructing Ding Jia to support her.
The editor then informed Chu Ran about an upcoming interview, asking her to fill in for a colleague who had taken leave, suggesting it would be a good learning opportunity. Chu Ran, eager to prepare, requested the interviewee's materials. To her surprise, the documents revealed the subject of the interview to be Jiang Yuelou. Following his concern for Jiang Yuelou, Executive Zhan initiated an investigation into his background.
His subordinate reported that Jiang Yuelou's original name was Kang Sheng'an, which he changed after Commissioner Bai Jinbo brought him into the police bureau. Executive Zhan found this intriguing, surmising that a name change often signifies deep-seated hatred or a hidden secret. He pressed for information about Jiang Yuelou's family and any past instances of emotional instability, but the subordinate admitted that such old records were difficult to retrieve.
Executive Zhan insisted on a thorough investigation, feeling that as a friend, he should show more concern. Separately, Executive Zhan learned that Miss Yuan from Tianyun Garden had visited the mansion twice, demanding to care for Boss Yu, having heard of his injury. Recognizing her sincere devotion, Executive Zhan instructed the guard to allow her in, believing her care would aid Boss Yu's recovery. Jiang Yuelou visited Chen Yuzhi, who was recovering.
He advised Chen Yuzhi to continue resting and not return to Yuzhi Hall until Jiang Yuelou's investigation was complete. Jiang Yuelou then brought up Chen Yuzhi's recurring illness, expressing his deep concern and desire to help, even though Chen Yuzhi was reluctant to seek treatment. Jiang Yuelou implored him to trust him, stating he didn't want to see Chen Yuzhi suffer any longer. Chen Yuzhi, contemplating Jiang Yuelou's plea, asked if he truly could trust him.
