White Cat Legend Episode 4 Recap
> White Cat Legend Recap
Although Mingjing Hall was forced to take on the case, they had no clue at all. Wang Qi suggested having a good meal first. Hu Si bought a lot of meat and vegetables. Wang Qi ate heartily by himself. The others had no mood to eat at all. Sun Bao started analyzing Chen Shi's whereabouts. The fortune teller Yuan Buer clearly said he saw him with an official from Court of Judicial Review.
Could Shangguan Qin have secretly hidden Chen Shi? As the few were discussing, they heard someone knocking on the door. The person who came was indeed Yuan Buer. He was holding the wanted poster and claimed he knew Chen Shi's whereabouts. This was originally instructed by Li Bing for Yuan Buer to do.
In order to solve the case as quickly as possible, after Yuan Buer revealed Chen Shi's residence, he saw the delicious food on the table and couldn't take his eyes off it. Wang Qi saw through Yuan Buer's thoughts. The few of them couldn't gather much reward money, so they had to give Yuan Buer a piece of pork hock from the table to take away. After Yuan Buer left, Wang Qi and his group immediately took action.
Hu Si quietly followed behind, wanting to find out where the few of them were going. Unexpectedly, Wang Qi, along with Sun Bao and Alibaba, suddenly returned, put a sack over Hu Si's head, and beat him up, which was considered a public report for private revenge. Afterwards, they rushed to Li's residence. Li Bing and Chen Shi stood in the room, not letting Wang Qi approach.
Li Bing pretended to hold a knife to Chen Shi's neck, threatening a hostage, and asked who was currently in charge at Court of Judicial Review. Upon learning that the position of Court of Judicial Review Chief Minister had been vacant for a long time, Li Bing understood the reason for Court of Judicial Review's inaction. He then counter-questioned the few of them whether they genuinely wanted to solve the case or frame Chen Shi. Alibaba expressed his stance.
Li Bing instructed the few of them that they next needed to prove that the demon cat case was unrelated to demons, in order to gain time to collect further evidence. Qiu Qingzhi received news that a waiter from a restaurant reported the case. Someone claiming to be an official from Court of Judicial Review had eaten at their restaurant and determined the boss was murdered based only on the freshness of the food and a faint smell of pollen.
After investigation, it turned out to be true. Qiu Qingzhi suspected that Li Bing must have returned to Shendu. Chen Shi made porridge for Li Bing using wild mushrooms from the courtyard, but he himself had no mood to enjoy it. The series of events that had happened recently left Chen Shi puzzled.
The most suspicious thing was that Li Bing claimed to be an official from Court of Judicial Review, but the few people from Mingjing Hall seemed not to know Li Bing at all. Li Bing's answers to their questions also proved that he had no understanding of the situation at Court of Judicial Review. Li Bing stated that this matter concerned the secret of his forced departure from Shendu, and therefore it was inconvenient to disclose.
Qiu Qingzhi broke into Li's residence to search. Li Bing transformed into a cat and hid himself. Chen Shi was taken away by Qiu Qingzhi's subordinates. On the street, Qiu Qingzhi asked about the whereabouts of his companion. Chen Shi refused to admit anything. Li Bing then used qinggong to rescue Chen Shi. Chen Shi accidentally shouted Li Bing's name, and Qiu Qingzhi directly confirmed his suspicion.
Chen Shi woke up the next day and told Li Bing that the person who arrested him was Qiu Qingzhi. Li Bing said that he knew everything. Next, he was preparing to find Gu Xiaohuan's father, Old Gu. If one wanted to fake a demon cat murder, the timing had to be very precise. Furthermore, since Old Gu had not been seen since the Usher's accident, it indicated that he was very likely still in Shendu.
Wang Qi and his group began to study the illusion technique of making smoke. Hu Si told Shangguan Qin about the group's movements. Shangguan Qin went to the backyard to check. Alibaba explained the principle of smoke generation to Shangguan Qin. For a theatrical troupe, these were the most basic tricks, therefore, the demon cat murder was completely man-made. Shangguan Qin hurriedly reported the investigation results to the Minister of Rites, Lü Qing.
He deeply knew the stakes involved behind this matter. The demon cat case was characterized three years ago, and the testimony was provided by Lü Qing.
