White Cat Legend Episode 24 Recap
> White Cat Legend Recap
Night. Li Bing secretly visited a private house, was injured by a hidden arrow, got blood on his hand, immediately transformed into a cat shape, and quietly returned to the room through the window blown open by the wind. Wang Qi and Sun Bao were also curious about Wang Zhi's identity. All four members of the Mingjing Hall began their secret investigations but did not reveal them to each other.
Chen Shi brought Li Bing a late-night snack, saw bloodstains on Li Bing's hand, and asked about Li Bing's whereabouts in the past few days. Li Bing replied that he was re-examining all the murder cases. Since getting the bone from Sun Xiaoying, he concluded that it was the "medicine guide" that Hu Ji mentioned. The missing item from the Dragon King Temple at the dock and Lu Chenghuang's hidden treasure were likely this item.
Yi Zhi Hua should not be dead, just not appearing in public. As someone involved, Yi Zhi Hua might also want to know the secret within. That's why he revealed clues to Court of Judicial Review bit by bit. The next day, another murder case occurred in the capital. The victim was Butcher Zhao. This person usually lived and worked in the South Market, but he died in an inn in the North Market.
Furthermore, he had only paid for one night's lodging the previous night, clearly having come to the North Market temporarily for something. Coroner Lao Bai analyzed that Butcher Zhao and the murdered bricklayer in prison had the same cause of death: broken teeth. The most bizarre thing was that after Butcher Zhao died, he held a note in his hand, written in blood, stating that only Court of Judicial Review's Mingjing Hall could solve the case.
Returning to Court of Judicial Review, while the few were analyzing the case, Lai Zhongshu told Li Bing that the North Market was under the jurisdiction of the Jinwu Guard, and thus they were preparing to take over the Butcher Zhao murder case. The others strongly argued for it, but Li Bing readily agreed and stated that he was preparing to return to his hometown to pay respects to his father, with Chen Shi accompanying him.
Chen Shi also found Li Bing's decision quite puzzling. Li Bing explained the reason: he had previously secretly visited Butcher Zhao, and Zhao's murder at this time must have hidden circumstances. Therefore, he planned to use the excuse of returning home to investigate secretly. Previously, in all cases related to Yi Zhi Hua, the Jinwu Guard obstructed them everywhere, indicating that Qiu Qingzhi was also looking for answers.
It would be better to use this opportunity to see what Qiu Qingzhi experienced in Huangsha Valley back then. Saying goodbye to the Mingjing Hall, Li Bing and Chen Shi traveled to Eighteen Mile Post. They rested by a small river and watered their horses. Li Bing told Chen Shi that this was the path he took when escorting his father's coffin back to his hometown.
At that time, he vaguely felt a Court of Judicial Review official watching from a distance and sending a fire signal. It was likely his father's only friend in Court of Judicial Review, but three years had passed, and he still didn't know who the person was. As the two were talking, they heard the sound of hooves in the distance. Li Bing realized it was Jinwu Guard soldiers and prepared to ride ahead.
Cui Bei also investigated Butcher Zhao's former profession and concluded that Li Bing's return home to pay respects to his father was just an excuse and that he must be secretly investigating the case. Shangguan Qin knew that Hu Si was an informant placed in Court of Judicial Review by her father and therefore began to distance herself from Hu Si. Li Bing and Chen Shi passed by an inn and discovered a skeleton in the courtyard.
There were deeply carved characters on the skull, indicating that the person was a serious offender during their lifetime. Immediately after, a male assassin jumped out of the dry well in the courtyard and used powder to blur Li Bing's vision. When he was about to assassinate Li Bing, Chen Shi blocked him, and the black-clad assassin jumped onto the roof and left.
Cui Bei told the others that he had long found a habit of pulling out teeth in the case files related to the serious offender Yi Zhi Hua, and thus speculated that Yi Zhi Hua was not dead at all. The bricklayer and Butcher Zhao were very likely killed by him. Cui Bei also re-investigated the past of Du Zixu and Wang Zhi. Several cases with no leads all began three years ago.
The four members of the Mingjing Hall also prepared to start investigating. Li Bing found the characters "Taixing" carved in sea mud on the wooden sign in front of the inn and prepared to start the investigation with a boat named Taixing.
