Shooting Stars Episode 4 Recap

Wei Daiqing was single-mindedly focused on achieving merits and getting promoted. He arrested Deng Mingyuan at Hua Zhen's house, and fearing there might be remaining members of the underground party, he investigated the situation of Hua Zhen's family members. The only suspicious point was Hua Zhen, who went to Shanghai three days after Deng Mingyuan was arrested and had not yet returned. This greatly piqued Wei Daiqing's interest.
He questioned Deng Mingyuan again about Hua Zhen, but Dengé“远 had previously investigated Wei Daiqing as well, knew Wei Daiqing's original name, and found a weakness in Wei Daiqing. Wei Daiqing did not investigate further. Luo Minmin returned home after her first day of work and saw everything in disarray. A group of thugs had come to cause trouble at her home again.
After Luo Minmin helped her brother clean up the house, she comforted him, saying that in a few days, she would have the police officers from her Fourth Branch Bureau come to their house to take pictures. This way, those thugs would not dare to come and cause trouble again. After Hua Zhen returned home and finished eating, he told Meng Duo Ci about some of the information he had investigated during the day.
Meng Duo Ci was very grateful that Hua Zhen could help her investigate the case and was also very satisfied with the slightly oversized clothes Hua Zhen had bought for her. Luo Minmin came to work and found there was no ladies' changing room. Her teammates changing clothes without reservation made Luo Minmin tremble with fear.
She originally wanted to apply to the leader for a ladies' changing room, but upon hearing that it would affect a month's salary, she immediately withdrew her application. The police department held a regular meeting. The Fourth Branch Bureau was still the least favored character. Zuo Ronghua didn't strive for advancement and had no connections above, so even though he had become an "old-timer" in the police department, there was no hope of promotion.
He would serve tea and water for everyone every time, but he didn't even have a stool to sit on. This time, the police department asked the Fourth Branch Bureau about the Wen Hua Hotel incident. Zuo Ronghua was not very clear about it. Chen Hao reported the several clues he had investigated, but the big leader intercepted them.
By the end of the meeting, the big leader decided to transfer the case of the Meng Duo Ci family massacre to the city bureau. Originally, for Zuo Ronghua, the fewer difficult cases, the better. Hearing that the case was to be transferred to the city bureau, he immediately organized the case files, erased the case code, and told the police officers to concentrate their efforts on solving the next case.
Hua Zhen's Fourth Branch Bureau got a clue that someone saw a kidnapper near a hotel. Because of this, the team members were both excited and nervous; this was their first mission. Chen Hao assigned tasks to several team members, telling them to apprehend the suspect in plain clothes.
Originally, new police officers were not required to go out on duty, but this kidnapper was the person Hua Zhen desperately wanted to catch; he was the one who escaped by climbing over the hotel's exterior wall that day. Hua Zhen volunteered to go out on duty. This caused great dissatisfaction from Bai Shoujun, who called Hua Zhen overestimating his capabilities.
However, Hua Zhen immediately made a solemn pledge on the spot: if he couldn't catch that kidnapper this time, he would never go out on duty to perform missions again. Chen Hao was surprised by Hua Zhen's initiative to volunteer for duty. It seemed Hua Zhen was eager to investigate something. Luo Minmin was very nervous during her first time going out on duty due to lack of experience.
To find the best observation angle, Hua Zhen went to a coffee shop nearby. The prices there were high, but Luo Minmin still took out all the money in her pocket and bought a cup of coffee for Hua Zhen. Seeing Luo Minmin's nervous expression, Hua Zhen told her to relax a little and then treated her to a piece of chocolate cake. It was the first time Hua Zhen had seen a cake.
Before he even picked up his chopsticks, he heard a commotion outside. Before he could figure out what was happening, he rushed out. This time, other team members had apprehended the wrong person. Seeing that the suspect was about to escape, Hua Zhen quickly chased after him. To apprehend the kidnapper, Hua Zhen rushed into the French Concession. Chinese police were not allowed to enter the French Concession, but Hua Zhen disregarded these rules.
After arresting the kidnapper, the French Concession police quickly came to demand an explanation. The person who came to reprimand Chen Hao was Shi Junyu, an Inspector from the Public Concession Police Department's Inspectorate. She demanded that Chen Hao release the kidnapper and arrest Hua Zhen to face charges. But Chen Hao immediately blocked her, claiming that the gate to the French Concession had not yet been repaired, and this transitional area did not yet belong to the French Concession.
After Chen Hao's reasoned argument, the other party finally made concessions. Chen Hao returned with Hua Zhen, a few team members, and the apprehended kidnapper. On the way back, he reprimanded Hua Zhen for acting rashly and asked him what his true purpose was for painstakingly coming to the Fourth Branch Bureau.
