Killer And Healer Episode 7 Recap
> Killer And Healer Recap
After attending an opera where Boss Yu noticeably reacted to a distinctive watch on Executive Zhan's wrist, Jiang Yuelou felt stifled and stepped out for air. Outside, he encountered Chen Yuzhi, who was on a house call. Jiang Yuelou attempted to strike up a conversation, but Chen Yuzhi politely but firmly stated he was busy and quickly excused himself. Back at the police bureau, Mayor Cai urgently pressed the Commissioner for updates on the ongoing investigation.
The Commissioner then met with Jiang Yuelou, who explained that their enemy remained hidden, necessitating a cautious approach and waiting for the opportune moment. The Commissioner, however, stressed Mayor Cai's dwindling patience and the limited time they had. Jiang Yuelou admitted that the materials recovered from the casino were largely undecipherable, offering no substantial leads.
He had already deployed surveillance, waiting for Wang Meng to surface so they could locate Jinma Hall's new hideout and uncover evidence linking them to Wu Shuwei. Jiang Yuelou then raised a more pressing concern: the identity of the mysterious individual who murdered Wu Shuwei remained unknown. The Commissioner, visibly agitated, interrupted, stating that their immediate priority was to unearth Wu Shuwei's criminal evidence to appease Mayor Cai, dismissing the killer's identity as secondary.
Jiang Yuelou vehemently disagreed, arguing that the killer's identity was paramount, perhaps even more crucial than finding the evidence. He pointed out that this unknown person seemed to operate at a higher level than Wu Shuwei, posing a constant, unpredictable threat. Despite the Commissioner's appeals for caution and well-being, Jiang Yuelou stood firm on his own judgment, insisting on pursuing the full truth.
Elsewhere, an operative reported to Executive Zhan on their investigation, stating they had found opium at Nianchun Pavilion, with its owner caught attempting to destroy evidence. The operative suspected a connection to Jinma Hall and Wang Meng, indicating a wider criminal network potentially involving other brothels, also engaging in human trafficking and forced sales. Executive Zhan advised against immediate raids, instead ordering covert surveillance on all establishments to trace the source of the opium, aiming for a fundamental solution.
Meanwhile, Song Rong informed Jiang Yuelou that investigations into suspicious government personnel had yielded no new suspects; all officials present on the night of Wu Shuwei's death, including those from the City Defense Department and Ministry of Industry, had confirmed alibis and never left the meeting room. In a separate instance, a young master was preparing for an opening ceremony.
His Uncle Fu questioned the suitability of inviting Jiang Yuelou, given his strict enforcement against smuggling, which had made him an adversary to many businesses. The young master dismissed these concerns, asserting Jiang Yuelou was merely performing his duty and that their own business practices would be beyond reproach.
They also discussed the delayed arrival of Moqing, whose ship encountered a storm near Japan, pushing her return to the eighth of the month, much to the young master's disappointment as she would miss the ceremony planned around her initial return date. Executive Zhan later met with Jiang Yuelou, sharing a significant development: Ke Ying had been found.
Executive Zhan explained he had looked into her disappearance after sensing a misunderstanding between Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi, confirming that Ke Ying had been trafficked to Hong Kong. He cautioned Jiang Yuelou against immediately informing Chen Yuzhi, revealing that Ke Ying was mentally unstable, having been driven "crazy" by the torment of being repeatedly sold. While her appearance suggested she was indeed Chen Yuzhi's sister, her condition made it impossible to confirm definitively through conversation.
Ke Ying was expected to arrive by ship on the fifth. Jiang Yuelou decided he would personally meet the ship to verify her identity first, fearing the devastating impact on Chen Yuzhi if he were given false hope. Later, Chen Yuzhi visited Jiang Yuelou to return his cat, which he had fed and jokingly named Fat Kitten. Jiang Yuelou, without elaborating, mysteriously instructed Chen Yuzhi to remain at home on the fifth, regardless of his schedule, leaving Chen Yuzhi perplexed.
Boss Yu, meanwhile, was haunted by a childhood memory: witnessing his mother's brutal murder. He distinctly remembered the killer wearing a specific, beautiful watch. Executive Zhan, impressed by Boss Yu's operatic performance, invited him to his residence to sing. Seizing the opportunity, Boss Yu observed the watch on Executive Zhan's wrist, recognizing it as the one from his traumatic memory.
Executive Zhan explained the watch was an 18th birthday gift from his uncle, given at a time when the Xuantong Emperor had abdicated and old customs were being discarded. His uncle, however, emphasized the importance of a man's coming of age, thus presenting him with this Western-style watch. The conversation briefly triggered Boss Yu's repressed memory of his mother's desperate pleas for her life, which he quickly pushed aside.
Executive Zhan then proposed they sing a duet of "Farewell My Concubine." The fifth day arrived. Jiang Yuelou went to the pier to meet the incoming ship. With the help of the woman who had accompanied her, Ke Ying, initially fearful of strangers, slowly allowed her veil to be lifted. It was indeed Ke Ying.
The woman explained that Ke Ying's disobedient attempts to escape had angered her captors, who scalded her with hot water and inflicted a severe head injury, leaving her with the mental capacity of a young child. At the same time, Sun Yongren, eager to witness the reunion, encountered Chen Yuzhi, who was preparing to leave his home.
Unable to persuade him otherwise, Sun Yongren revealed Jiang Yuelou's insistence that Chen Yuzhi stay home for a "big surprise," hinting that it would resolve Chen Yuzhi's previous grievances with Jiang Yuelou. They went to a familiar small restaurant for wontons, but Chen Yuzhi, consumed by anticipation, constantly looked around for his sister. Finally, unable to wait any longer, Chen Yuzhi ran off into the pouring rain to find her, with Sun Yongren giving chase.
Jiang Yuelou drove Ke Ying towards Chen Yuzhi's home. During the ride, Ke Ying recalled fragmented memories of her brother, including that he had a "white cat." As they neared their destination, Jiang Yuelou's vehicle was ambushed. An assailant feigned being struck by the car, drawing Jiang Yuelou's men out, which quickly escalated into a gunfight. Jiang Yuelou instructed Ke Ying to stay hidden in the car as he exited to pursue the attackers.
After a short chase, an unseen assailant from above fired at the car, causing it to instantly burst into flames. The inferno was too intense for Jiang Yuelou to save Ke Ying. Just as the car became an inescapable blaze, Chen Yuzhi arrived, desperately attempting to rush towards the burning vehicle to rescue his sister. Jiang Yuelou forcefully restrained him, holding him back as the car exploded in a fiery inferno.
