White Cat Legend Episode 3 Recap
> White Cat Legend Recap
Chen Shi saw the wanted poster and didn't know what to do. He repeatedly explained to Li Bing that he had never harmed anyone and also believed that the raccoon cat would not harm people. Li Bing knew the whole truth and also believed in Chen Shi's character. To avoid the spotlight, Li Bing suggested that Chen Shi leave the city for a while.
Chen Shi disagreed, saying that if he just hid like this, he would really be treated as a murderer, and he wouldn't be able to find his brother or help the little girl find her parents. Chen Shi proposed that Li Bing take him back to Court of Judicial Review to explain the situation. Li Bing explained that the time was not right, but the most important thing now was to find out the truth and clear Chen Shi's name.
Wang Qi, Alibaba, and Sun Bao searched for a long time but found no trace of Chen Shi. The fortune teller said that Chen Shi was with an official from Court of Judicial Review. The group speculated whether other colleagues had found Chen Shi first and taken him back. Returning to Court of Judicial Review, they didn't see the apprehended Chen Shi. Instead, Shangguan Qin had been waiting for a long time. The group looked disappointed.
Shangguan Qin stated that she had not paid enough attention to the demon cat case before. From now on, all resources under her command would be available for the Mingjing Hall to deploy, but the case must be solved within three days. Li Bing instructed Chen Shi that if he wanted to help Gu Xiaohuan find her parents soon, he must follow all of his arrangements.
The most important thing was not to be ostentatious and to keep a low profile. To prevent Chen Shi from being recognized by passersby, Li Bing found his own official uniform for Chen Shi to change into. When an official walked on the street, people would deliberately avoid him, and indeed, no one paid attention to Chen Shi's appearance.
Based on the material and paint of the rattle-drum Gu Xiaohuan carried with her, Li Bing roughly deduced the living environment of Gu Xiaohuan's parents. The group walked to Zhang's Horse Stable based on some of Gu Xiaohuan's memories. Boss Zhang was feeding horses. Upon hearing Gu Xiaohuan's voice, he sadly hugged the child, lamenting over and over again how regrettable it was.
According to Boss Zhang, Gu Xiaohuan's father, Old Gu, was a long-term laborer for his family and had always been honest and dutiful. A year ago, Gu Xiaohuan went missing, and Old Gu and his wife were extremely anxious. Old Gu went to the streets every day to inquire and search, while his wife waited for their daughter at the doorstep. Over time, she fell ill and soon passed away. Old Gu continued to search for his daughter.
Unexpectedly, a few days ago, when he was working as a stablehand for the Usher, he was harmed by the demon cat. Now, he is nowhere to be found, alive or dead. Boss Zhang and his wife had no children of their own and had always treated Xiaohuan as their own daughter, so they agreed to take Xiaohuan in as their child.
Li Bing felt that Xiaohuan was pitiful and immediately stated that he was an official of Court of Judicial Review and would thoroughly investigate to give Xiaohuan's parents justice. On the way back, Li Bing took Chen Shi past the moat, where the Usher had an accident. Chen Shi asked if it was true, as rumored by the people, that there was a demon cat appearing. Li Bing explained that so-called demons were just projections of people's minds.
If a person has guilt in their heart, they are easily scared to death by their inner demons. As the two were examining the lime on the railing, Qiu Qingzhi and his attendant also walked to the bridge. Li Bing did not want to reveal his identity, so he let Chen Shi speak up and turn away Qiu Qingzhi and his attendant.
Chen Shi turned back to look at Li Bing and saw that his eyes were red and flashing with a golden light, like a cat's eyes in the dark. In just a moment, Li Bing's eyes returned to normal. He explained that he had remembered some past events and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. Li Bing took Chen Shi to sneak into the morgue.
As the two were examining the body, Wang Qi and Sun Bao happened to enter. The coroner, Old Bai, said that although there were animal scratches on the deceased's body, there were also human-inflicted injuries, and the entire skeleton was fractured, which was extremely tragic. Hu Si brought some more case files and urged them to solve the case quickly. Back home, Li Bing re-organized his thoughts.
To investigate the current demon cat murder case, he could only start from three years ago. Chen Shi suddenly remembered that he had left his basket at the fortune teller's stall, so the two went out together to retrieve the basket.
