Killer And Healer Episode 6 Recap
> Killer And Healer Recap
Chen Yuzhi, a doctor, was conducting a session with Jiang Yuelou, discussing bipolar disorder and depression, suggesting that their symptoms often stem from childhood environments. He inquired about Jiang Yuelou's relationship with his parents and close friends. Jiang Yuelou, feeling agitated, insisted he was not upset and left, but Chen Yuzhi remarked that "everything cannot be ended," hinting at unresolved issues.
Meanwhile, Li Sihai, seeing Jiang Yuelou and his team depart, hastily called Wu Shuwei at his office to warn Jinma Hall to evacuate immediately. Wu Shuwei, though surprised by Li Sihai's risky call, quickly relayed the urgent message to a subordinate, ordering a quiet and swift retreat for Jinma Hall's members. When Jiang Yuelou and his officers arrived at the supposed smuggling den, they found the place deserted, with only burnt remnants in a stove.
Jiang Yuelou ordered the stove to be taken to the information department for analysis, noting that the thorough evacuation suggested a significant individual was behind the warning. He acknowledged that their informant, Wang Meng, led them to the location but they were still a step too late. Concurrently, San Ye, the leader of Jinma Hall, was furious about the raid, attributing their escape to Wu Shuwei's timely phone call.
He believed Jiang Yuelou had set a trap, implying they were being monitored. Li Sihai was soon apprehended by Sun Rong, who vehemently expressed his hatred for "rats" and collaborators. During the interrogation, Jiang Yuelou intervened, breaking Li Sihai's hand as a brutal tactic, but Li Sihai stubbornly refused to confess. Observing Li Sihai's conflicted demeanor, Jiang Yuelou suspected his family might be held captive by those he was protecting and urged him to speak up, offering help.
Li Sihai, with a complex expression, declared he was "unfit to be a policeman" and tragically ended his life by striking his head against the ground. Jiang Yuelou reported to Commissioner Bai that while Li Sihai died without revealing names, the last call was routed through a government-dedicated switchboard near Huannan Road, significantly narrowing the search for the internal traitor.
He informed the Commissioner that he had already dispatched officers to investigate calls made between 2:00 and 2:05 PM that afternoon. Song Rong later confirmed two such calls: one from Head Li of the Finance Department to Director Xia of the Office, and another from an unknown caller to Committee Member Wu. Commissioner Bai, anticipating Jiang Yuelou's next move, warned him against rash actions, explaining that Wu Shuwei had deep connections within the cabinet government.
Touching him would inevitably lead to severe repercussions from Mayor Cai, who would need to appease higher authorities. Despite the warning, Jiang Yuelou remained resolute, declaring he would bear all consequences and not implicate anyone else. Jiang Yuelou, accompanied by two subordinates, proceeded to Wu Shuwei's office to arrest him, only to discover Wu Shuwei dead. Noticing that two cups of Da Hong Pao tea were still warm, Jiang Yuelou deduced the killer had not left long ago.
He ordered Song Rong to pursue any fleeing suspects and instructed Sun Rong to summon Doctor Chen for a forensic examination of the body. Chen Yuzhi, after analyzing Wu Shuwei's blood, identified Quinidine, a rare drug that could induce sudden death in individuals with heart conditions, a detail consistent with Wu Shuwei's likely ailments. Chen Yuzhi concluded that the killer was likely familiar with the victim and that the unusual drug was probably smuggled.
Reporting back to Commissioner Bai, Jiang Yuelou speculated that the killer was likely an insider within the government, highly familiar with the surroundings, hence leaving no traces. He noted that the poisoning wasn't through the tea, as the killer also shared a cup, but rather suspected a watch. Jiang Yuelou theorized that the killer presented a poisoned watch to Wu Shuwei to incapacitate him, then took the watch away.
He confirmed that no source of poison was found in Wu Shuwei's office, supporting his theory that the poison was brought in and taken out by the perpetrator. With the autopsy confirming Quinidine, Jiang Yuelou requested permission to investigate Customs records for the drug, but Commissioner Bai refused, citing Mayor Cai's imminent return from Nanjing and urging Jiang Yuelou to prepare for his arrival instead.
Undeterred, Jiang Yuelou attempted to raid Customs for import records, but was thwarted by Chief Zhao Jingming, who reminded him of proper protocol and the need for an official approval document, which Jiang Yuelou's subordinate had forgotten. Jiang Yuelou later confided in Chen Yuzhi about the stalled investigation, expressing frustration that many perceived him as unfeeling and unfamiliar with the nuances of officialdom.
He maintained that his duty was simply to uphold the law and ensure the stability of Jing City. Chen Yuzhi, as a doctor, empathized, acknowledging that both had their principles. Jiang Yuelou then revealed a deep personal guilt: he confessed that he had seen Chen Yuzhi's younger sister, Keying, smiling at his doorstep the night she disappeared.
He also recalled seeing a car pass by his house later, with a child seemingly struggling inside, but he hadn't pursued it at the time. He lamented that if he had acted then, Keying might not have been lost. Chen Yuzhi listened gravely and then offered Jiang Yuelou a bottle of medicine.
Mayor Cai returned and swiftly confronted Jiang Yuelou and Commissioner Bai about the attempted arrest of a committee member and the lack of concrete evidence in Wu Shuwei's death, implying that Jiang Yuelou's actions were reckless and violent. Jiang Yuelou explained that the situation was an emergency, and Mayor Cai was unreachable. He promised to gather evidence to prove Wu Shuwei's connections with Hong Kong gangs and Jinma Hall, and to apprehend the killer.
He subtly hinted that failure to support the investigation might lead to public suspicion regarding Mayor Cai's own integrity, given recent rumors linking him to smuggling. Commissioner Bai intervened, suggesting that if Jiang Yuelou could prove Wu Shuwei's collusion, it would show Mayor Cai's commitment to justice. Mayor Cai, after careful consideration, sternly warned Jiang Yuelou to provide the evidence or face severe consequences. Later, Commissioner Bai found Jiang Yuelou lost in thought about the case.
He advised Jiang Yuelou against being overly stressed, saying that constant tension could lead to a breakdown. Commissioner Bai then led Jiang Yuelou to Tianyu Garden for a dinner arranged by Executive Zhan, stressing the importance of networking and "the way of being an official" even during a waiting period in the investigation. He reminded Jiang Yuelou that Chief Zhao Jingming had not reported his unauthorized visit to Customs, implying a need to mend relations.
Jiang Yuelou expressed confusion as to why he should be amiable with Zhao Jingming, whom he suspected of protecting smugglers, and questioned why such individuals prospered while he and the Commissioner had to engage in "superficial niceties" with them. Commissioner Bai explained that sometimes, compromise and such niceties are necessary to gain power and achieve one's larger ambitions. At Tianyu Garden, Executive Zhan and Commissioner Bai joined Zhao Jingming, who had arranged for them to watch a performance by Yutangchun.
Executive Zhan lightheartedly brought up Jiang Yuelou's "reckless" behavior at Customs, but also defended Jiang Yuelou's dedication, and Commissioner Bai stated the dinner was intended to resolve any lingering tension. During the meal, a performer mentioned that high-ranking officials from the financial department and police bureau were in the VIP box. Commissioner Bai and Executive Zhan then discussed the police bureau's next quarter's funding, with Executive Zhan promising to expedite its transfer.
