Killer And Healer Episode 19 Recap
> Killer And Healer Recap
Executive Zhan, concerned about appearances, warned Jiang Yuelou to maintain a low profile at the upcoming charity fundraiser, emphasizing the significant risk he took in getting Jiang out and the severe consequences of failure. Jiang Yuelou reassured Executive Zhan that he would not let him face imprisonment, jokingly remarking on Executive Zhan's picky taste and how he wouldn't suit prison food. Executive Zhan expressed hope that Chen Yuzhi was reliable, and Jiang confirmed his trust in Chen.
The charity fundraiser commenced with children singing. Song Rong and Sun Yongren were also present, disguised as waiters. Chen Yuzhi, the event's organizer, welcomed everyone, explaining that the funds raised would primarily support Cian Primary School and subsidize schooling for refugee children. Chief Zhao Jingming of the Taxation Department then took the stage to deliver a short speech, advocating for daily good deeds and self-reflection. However, Jiang Yuelou unexpectedly made an appearance, stopping Chief Zhao as he concluded his speech.
Jiang directly questioned Chief Zhao about Cheng Tianba, revealing that Cheng Tianba was the insurgent he had killed at the police bureau a few days prior, presenting Cheng Tianba's imprisonment record. Jiang asserted that Cheng Tianba was a habitual criminal who had fled to Jing City and worked for Jinma Hall.
He then accused Chief Zhao Jingming of being the mysterious San Ye, the mastermind behind the murder of Commissioner Wu, the fraud within the police bureau, opium trafficking, cheating refugees out of subsidies, and inciting worker strikes to disrupt social security for profit. Jiang Yuelou apologized to the public for the prior killing but firmly stated he never unjustly kills an innocent person and was grateful to have someone who trusted him wholeheartedly.
Chief Zhao vehemently denied the accusations, demanding evidence. At that moment, Wang Meng from Jinma Hall stepped forward, identifying Chief Zhao Jingming as San Ye. Suddenly, an unknown assailant shot Wang Meng. Jiang Yuelou swiftly gunned down the attacker. As Wang Meng lay dying, he expressed a desire for revenge for his mother and hoped to be a good person in his next life, possibly even befriending Jiang Yuelou, a sentiment Jiang acknowledged.
Song Rong and Sun Yongren then escorted a protesting Chief Zhao away. Upon hearing of her brother's imprisonment, Zhao Moqing rushed to Executive Zhan's residence, begging him to help her brother. She asserted he was only involved in minor business irregularities, not serious crimes like those of San Ye.
Executive Zhan explained that with both witness and material evidence against him, overturning the verdict would be unrealistic, advising her that Jiang Yuelou was key to her brother's case and suggesting they go to the police bureau. Meanwhile, at the police bureau, Song Rong interrogated Chief Zhao Jingming, beating him and urging him to confess as the case was "irreversible" to avoid further suffering.
Chief Zhao, however, scoffed at them, accusing the "noble men" of resorting to "filthy measures" and stubbornly refusing to admit he was San Ye. Song Rong reported Chief Zhao's non-cooperation to Jiang Yuelou. They discussed the Daxing Firm's soaps, suspecting they were fronts for opium sales to "old clients" and lamenting the missing trading records that could expose the true buyers. Executive Zhan arrived at the police bureau and requested a private conversation between Jiang Yuelou and Zhao Moqing.
During their talk, Zhao Moqing pleaded with Jiang Yuelou, offering any terms if he would release her brother, insisting he was framed. Jiang Yuelou remained unmoved, stating their judgment would be independent, firmly refusing to release Zhao Jingming, and urging her to respect herself. Distraught, Zhao Moqing stormed out, threatening Jiang. Afterward, Executive Zhan and Jiang Yuelou visited Zhao Jingming in his cell. Executive Zhan advised Chief Zhao to confess to alleviate his suffering.
Chief Zhao continued to deny being San Ye, accusing Jiang Yuelou of framing him and vowing to appeal the case in Beiping. Jiang Yuelou dismissed his chances of appeal, reminding him that he knew the truth of his actions. Chief Zhao finally admitted to engaging in opium trafficking with Jinma Hall but vehemently denied involvement in the deaths of Li Chao, Qian Tongqing, and Wu Shuwei.
Moments later, Song Rong urgently informed Jiang Yuelou that Zhao Moqing had returned to the police bureau, armed with a gun and threatening to kill herself if Jiang refused to see her. Jiang Yuelou went to confront her, leaving Executive Zhan alone with Chief Zhao. Executive Zhan calmly told Chief Zhao that from that moment on, he was San Ye.
Chief Zhao initially seemed confused, but then, with dawning horror, he realized Executive Zhan was the true San Ye and that he had been a planned scapegoat all along. Executive Zhan chillingly confirmed this, recounting how he personally orchestrated Wu Shuwei's death and even designed Chen Keying's demise. Executive Zhan further taunted Chief Zhao, asserting that he operated without leaving any evidence, ensuring Zhao would never have known his true identity without being told.
He then offered Chief Zhao a deal: take full responsibility for all the crimes, and Executive Zhan would ensure the safety of the Zhao family and Zhao Moqing. Outside, Zhao Moqing, still holding the gun, confronted Jiang Yuelou, demanding her brother's release and threatening to die if he refused. Jiang Yuelou callously invited her to shoot, dismissing her threat as irrelevant to him and stating her life or death had no bearing on him.
Zhao Moqing also accused Jiang of shooting her. Having accepted Executive Zhan's terms, Chief Zhao Jingming confessed to being San Ye. When Jiang Yuelou returned, Commissioner Bai praised Jiang Yuelou for successfully closing the case and announced his intention to submit it to the committee for swift sentencing. Noticing Jiang Yuelou's subdued reaction, Commissioner Bai suggested he was overworked and granted him a week's holiday to rest.
Desperate, Zhao Moqing then sought help from Commander Zhan, begging him to save her brother's life. She offered him control of all the Zhao family's businesses and, in a final act of desperation, offered herself as his concubine if he would persuade the committee to release her brother. Commander Zhan, intrigued, confirmed her sincerity and agreed to intervene. Later, Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi met for wontons. Jiang Yuelou commended Chen Yuzhi's excellent cooperation during the fundraiser.
Jiang then cryptically asked Chen Yuzhi if it was "too late to be treated now." Chen Yuzhi replied gravely that it was "too late," that Jiang was "incurably ill," and that "no one can treat you except me." Meanwhile, Executive Zhan's subordinate reported to him that Commander Zhan had returned to his other mansion, and that Zhao Moqing, after being rejected by Jiang Yuelou, had approached Commander Zhan, offering herself as a concubine for her brother's release. Executive Zhan commented cynically that she was "a sheep coming to the mouth of a tiger," deeming it "evil."
