White Cat Legend Episode 14 Recap
> White Cat Legend Recap
Li Bing went to a brothel and found a girl. She was the masked woman in black who had held Chen Shi hostage at the dock. Based on the throwing dart left behind, Li Bing found the masked woman in black's residence. She claimed to be a Hu person. Li Bing asked if the murder case was related to the masked woman in black. She denied it but admitted she was looking for something related to Yi Zhi Hua.
Immediately after, the beggar Li Bing had encountered at the tavern was also brutally murdered. When searching his residence, they found two pieces of broken silver in the room, which was the money Li Bing had paid the beggar for information. This indicates the murderer was not after wealth. After the coroner examined the body, he stated the cause of death was almost identical to Liu Fu's, and it was very likely the same person committed both crimes.
Shangguan Qin told Li Bing that the Jinwu Guard wanted to intervene in the dock murder case. The Jinwu Guard governed the capital's waterway transport, which was a normal takeover. But Li Bing did not want the Jinwu Guard to intervene. Shangguan Qin motioned, telling Li Bing to focus on investigating the case, and she would be responsible for keeping Qiu Qingzhi away. For now, clues could only be collected from the freight yard.
However, the members of Mingjing Hall had all investigated at the freight yard, so it was inconvenient for them to show their faces again. Wang Qi disguised himself and prepared to continue visiting the freight yard. Chen Shi took leave. Every day he went to Yuan Buer's stall to inquire about his brother's situation. Just then, he met the person delivering the letter, who was the coachman who had lost his purse a few days ago.
The coachman told Chen Shi that there was an itinerant merchant who often bought water from him, and he looked similar to Chen Shi. After asking, the merchant indeed had a younger brother, so he left a letter for Chen Shi. Chen Shi was very excited and begged the coachman to take him to his brother's residence. The coachman agreed. Wang Qi and Cui Bei disguised themselves as laborers and went to work at the freight yard.
Alibaba and Sun Bao disguised themselves as rich merchants. They wanted to work together to lure the habitual thieves into a trap. After a busy period, the few of them were caught by the leader hidden in the dark and tied up in the lower part of the ship cabin. Cui Bei questioned the bandits, asking if they had killed Liu Fu and the beggar using the same method.
The bandits did not refute him and boasted that they had been soldiers and had countless unjustly killed people under their command, so they didn't care about killing a few more people. They said the lives of these few officials had also come to an end. After saying this, they chiseled a hole in the bottom of the ship, letting water flood into the cabin to drown the few people. Li Bing and Shangguan Qin were waiting in the cabin.
A subordinate reported that someone had cut the ropes and the ship was floating in the middle of the river. Qiu Qingzhi arrived at the dock immediately with the Jinwu Guard. Chen Shi was originally going to find his brother. When he saw the Jinwu Guard team, he told the coachman he would find his brother another day. The Jinwu Guard rescued Wang Qi and the others and controlled several porters.
Only then did Li Bing understand that Qiu Qingzhi had been sending people to watch the movements of Court of Judicial Review. Now Qiu Qingzhi had shown a favor to Court of Judicial Review and wanted to take the suspects away, and Li Bing was not in a good position to stop him. Chen Shi prepared to leave Court of Judicial Review.
After expressing his attitude to Li Bing, Li Bing realized he had been trying to help the shoots grow by pulling them up, being too strict with Chen Shi. Chen Shi had originally come to the capital to find his relatives and had no intention of taking up a position at Court of Judicial Review. Wang Qi and the others also asked Chen Shi to reconsider.
Chen Shi told them that once he found his brother, he would still work hard to pass the examination to return to Court of Judicial Review. Finally, he took out the Jinwu Guard arrow he had found at the dock and gave it to Li Bing. Only then did Li Bing realize that Qiu Qingzhi had been obstructing. So he and Shangguan Qin went to the Jinwu Guard to get the hostages back.
Qiu Qingzhi stated that the three laborers could not withstand the harsh interrogation and had died. Chen Shi found the coachman again. The two of them walked into a warehouse. The coachman indicated that it was indeed Chen Jiu's residence. He also took out half of a pawn ticket and told Chen Shi that the other half was kept at the pawn shop. It should be money Chen Jiu left for his younger brother.
Li Bing led the few members of Mingjing Hall back to the Dragon King Temple at the dock. Wang Qi told Li Bing that perhaps, as the laborers had said, Court of Judicial Review's initial investigation direction was wrong. Li Bing re-examined the situation, believing the murderer should have a position that could cover their tracks. Looking closely at the wooden plaque in the Dragon King's hand again, it was actually a water delivery tally.
