Killer And Healer Episode 8 Recap
> Killer And Healer Recap
Chen Yuzhi knelt beside Ke Ying’s lifeless body, tears streaming down his face as he recalled shared memories. He gently placed a hairpin in her hair. After Chen Yuzhi emerged, Jiang Yuelou immediately stood up, his face etched with regret. He apologized, admitting that the killers were after him and he was responsible for Ke Ying’s death. Chen Yuzhi, devastated, demanded to know who those people were, and Jiang Yuelou revealed they were from Jinma Hall.
Overwhelmed by grief and rage, Chen Yuzhi declared his intent for immediate revenge. Jiang Yuelou tried to stop him, warning that he was no match for them and would only put himself in danger. Chen Yuzhi furiously retorted that Jiang Yuelou had no right to lecture him, as Ke Ying was merely an outsider to Jiang Yuelou, but his own sister. He even felt ashamed to dream of her.
Chen Yuzhi demanded Jiang Yuelou’s gun, but Jiang Yuelou insisted he couldn’t go alone. Chen Yuzhi then challenged him to go together. Jiang Yuelou promised to avenge Ke Ying but insisted it wasn't the right time. Chen Yuzhi pressed him, demanding to know when the time would be. Seeing Chen Yuzhi’s unwavering determination, Jiang Yuelou ultimately agreed, declaring he would go even if it meant sacrificing his own life.
Later, the initial surge of anger subsided, and they did not immediately seek out Jinma Hall. They sat together at Chen Yuzhi’s doorstep. Chen Yuzhi recounted how Ke Ying used to wait for him there when he returned late from house calls, waiting for him to eat dinner together and to be tucked in with a story before she could sleep.
Jiang Yuelou, having lost his own parents to opium at a young age, understood the pain of losing loved ones. He reiterated his vow that as long as he remained in Jing City, he would make it a smoke-free city. Chen Yuzhi confessed that he didn’t blame Jiang Yuelou for Ke Ying’s death, but rather the cruel world they lived in. Jiang Yuelou assured him that Jinma Hall would vanish from Jing City.
Inspired, Chen Yuzhi declared his desire to join Jiang Yuelou in this endeavor, determined to prevent any other child from suffering Ke Ying’s tragic fate. They both acknowledged that after enduring so much together, they could finally try to be friends. Grief-stricken, Chen Yuzhi sat by his doorstep, carving Ke Ying’s tombstone in the pouring rain, his tears mingling with the raindrops. He eventually collapsed, unconscious.
A white cat, observing his distress, hurried back and led Jiang Yuelou to Chen Yuzhi. Jiang Yuelou found Chen Yuzhi unresponsive, frantically calling his name. He gently touched Chen Yuzhi’s forehead, then carefully carried him back inside. Jiang Yuelou stayed up through the night, diligently caring for Chen Yuzhi, even brewing him medicine. The next morning, Sun Yongren noticed Jiang Yuelou’s exhaustion and asked if he had been up all night.
Jiang Yuelou tried to brush it off, claiming his cat was noisy, but Sun Yongren, knowing Jiang Yuelou’s cat was usually quiet, pressed him. Jiang Yuelou then offered a flimsy excuse about the cat being in heat, which Sun Yongren logically countered about cats rutting in spring. However, seeing Jiang Yuelou’s tired expression, Sun Yongren wisely dropped the subject. Meanwhile, Yu Laoban was practicing opera in his courtyard when he suddenly coughed up blood.
His junior apprentice, Zining, immediately offered to summon Doctor Chen, but Yu Laoban waved her off, claiming he just felt a little stuffy and wanted to take a walk alone. He then dismissed Zining, reminding her to practice diligently. During a conversation with Zining, Yu Laoban inquired about Executive Zhan, noting the stark contrast between Executive Zhan and his uncle, Zhan Tianqing, a notoriously ruthless figure known for violence.
Later, Yu Laoban visited Chen Yuzhi, who, at his request, increased the dosage of his medicine. Chen Yuzhi advised him to prioritize rest and forgo attending home entertainment parties for a while. At the police station, Song Rong reported yet another missing girl. The disappearance coincided with the assassination attempt on Jiang Yuelou, leading them to suspect Jinma Hall’s resurgence.
Jiang Yuelou deduced that a master strategist was pulling the strings behind the scenes, noting the distinct methods employed by the group. He shared his concern that they were at a disadvantage, operating in the open while their enemy remained hidden. Jiang Yuelou began to formulate a plan to expose them.
In his office, he reviewed all information on Jinma Hall from the past five years, instructing his officers to conduct thorough searches of warehouses, docks, factories, and even clinics for individuals consistently purchasing large quantities of anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medications. While discussing the case with Executive Zhan, Chen Yuzhi assured him that Jiang Yuelou, despite his recent personal tragedy, possessed an unyielding will and was fully dedicated to the investigation, suggesting that significant developments were imminent.
Soon after, Chen Yuzhi called Jiang Yuelou, inviting him to his home to analyze crucial clues and tend to Jiang Yuelou's lingering injuries. At Chen Yuzhi’s clinic, as he examined Jiang Yuelou’s gun wound, which was healing well, Chen Yuzhi shrewdly deduced that Jiang Yuelou had made a significant breakthrough in the case. Meanwhile, at a gambling den, Brother Chao, restless and bored by San Ye’s orders to lay low, expressed his desire to “get someone back” for their activities.
Despite warnings from his cohorts, he decided to venture out. At a biscuit stall, he spotted a young girl and tried to engage her in conversation, but she ignored him. He then stealthily followed her to Chen Yuzhi’s clinic. Inside, Chen Yuzhi treated the girl's father and offered her a biscuit. He subtly observed Brother Chao, who was still lurking, and the girl confirmed that he had been following her.
When Brother Chao entered, Chen Yuzhi, recognizing him from a previous encounter where he had saved him, cleverly delayed him by offering a detailed diagnosis of "kidney deficiency" and prescribing an elaborate, time-consuming treatment involving deer genitals, which he offered to prepare into pills by the next morning. This was Chen Yuzhi's ploy to detain Brother Chao.
Soon after, Jiang Yuelou returned to the police station, where a subordinate informed him that Chen Yuzhi had called with a lead on Jinma Hall, but due to Jiang Yuelou’s absence, the information had been relayed to Chief Jin of the Judicial Branch, who was already mobilizing an arrest operation. As Jiang Yuelou rushed out, the Judicial Branch arrived at Chen Yuzhi’s clinic. To Jiang Yuelou's shock, Chen Yuzhi was immediately placed under arrest and taken away.
