White Cat Legend Episode 15 Recap
> White Cat Legend Recap
Chen Shi followed the water delivery driver Old Cheng to the warehouse. After receiving the document that was only half complete, he went around looking for pawn shops to verify it. Finally, a pawn shop owner was able to produce the other half of the document, and the pawn shop owner had a purse of the same style as the one Old Cheng had lost and recovered. After matching the two halves of the document, Chen Shi received a box.
He returned to the residence Old Cheng had pointed out to look for the key. Old Cheng took the key from his purse. Chen Shi began to feel suspicious. Old Cheng had said the purse was personally sewn by his mother, so why did the pawn shop owner have the same style? The Divine Capital was so vast, how could finding his brother be so easy? The more he thought about it, the more something felt wrong.
Just as he was about to leave, Old Cheng knocked him unconscious from behind with a wooden stick. Li Bing and the few members of Mingjing Hall discovered the water tally at the Dragon King Temple. He suddenly remembered that before Chen Shi left Court of Judicial Review, he mentioned the water delivery driver helped him find his brother, and that he lived near Court of Judicial Review.
Li Bing guessed that Chen Shi had likely fallen into the water delivery driver's trap, so he began searching house by house. After Chen Shi woke up, he was tied hand and foot and sat beside a cargo box. Old Cheng had an eager look on his face, seemingly not wanting to harm Chen Shi. Chen Shi cautiously questioned him, and Old Cheng finally told the truth. Liu Fu was indeed killed by him.
Originally, several of them were soldiers who had retired from the army. In recent years, waterway transport was not smooth, making it difficult to make a living, so they started tampering at the freight yard. Several of them colluded to steal, splitting the loot at the Dragon King Temple, and it had been quite smooth. Once, they stole a box and opened it to find a strange object inside. This stirred up a painful memory for Old Cheng.
Years ago, he served in the army with his younger brother. His brother was framed for theft, and the object involved was the same as the one stolen from the Dragon King Temple. His brother was subsequently beheaded as a warning, which was a lifelong pain for Old Cheng. Seeing it again now, he naturally wanted to destroy it. However, Liu Fu rushed into the Dragon King Temple, stating the object was valuable and could not be destroyed.
After a struggle between the two, Old Cheng simply beat him to death. Later, Zhao Hua Zi picked up the box but refused to hand it over to Old Cheng, so another life was added. The reason Old Cheng told Chen Shi was that he saw how much Chen Shi resembled his younger brother who had died unjustly – kind and upright. As soon as Old Cheng finished speaking, Li Bing led people and burst through the door.
Li Bing tripped Old Cheng using a move he learned from Sun Bao, and the Mingjing Hall quickly controlled him and rescued Chen Shi. Although the case was solved, there were still doubts. Liu Fu had told Old Cheng that he did not leave a message on the wooden plank, guiding Old Cheng and the others to steal the goods, otherwise he wouldn't have brought disaster upon himself. So, who left the message?
Cui Bei and Li Bing couldn't figure it out. Upon returning to Court of Judicial Review, Li Bing commended the brothers of Mingjing Hall. Chen Shi, by chance, also made a contribution. Li Bing asked Chen Shi if he still planned to leave Court of Judicial Review. Chen Shi said that he would now focus on diligently studying various skills to pass the examination and enter Court of Judicial Review as soon as possible.
Shangguan Lian and his wife asked their daughter to return home for tea and also inquired about official matters. Shangguan Lian reprimanded Shangguan Qin for repeatedly opposing Qiu Qingzhi. If he hadn't mediated, she might have made a mistake long ago. Qiu Qingzhi was a favorite of the Empress, so she should avoid provoking him as much as possible in the future. His wife mentioned preparing to find a suitable marriage match for Shangguan Qin.
Shangguan Qin was not interested and left her parents early to return to Court of Judicial Review. Li Bing found the masked woman from the brothel a second time and asked for more clues. The woman said that the item she was looking for was related to a person named Du Zixu. Three years ago, the Minister of Rites was old and frail, gradually nearing the end of his life.
At this time, a Western Regions man named Du Zixu appeared at the Minister's residence. Using unknown methods, he caused the Minister of Rites' fate to reverse, and he suddenly became much younger. After that, no one ever saw this person again. Soon, the Ministry of War transferred a murder case to Court of Judicial Review. Qin Wan, the younger brother of Qin Shu, the Libationer of the Imperial Academy, was found mysteriously murdered in the morning.
Li Bing went to his residence to investigate. There was a large amount of Five-Stone Powder in the room. Shangguan Qin smelled the strange odor from the body and went into the courtyard for fresh air. Alibaba thoughtfully offered her mint balm. Suddenly, they noticed boxes scattered all over the ground next to the courtyard wall. The murderer likely climbed over the wall and left after committing the crime.
