”Tiger Crane” Episode 10 Plot Summary: Hu Zi is involved in the case of the demon master’s disappearance and investigates with Qi Xiaoxuan.
In episode 10, Hu Zi is accidentally involved in the case of the demon master’s disappearance. Cheng Jinian mistakenly believes that Hu Zi and Bo Yao are of the same kind and ridicules him. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts and waste of time, Wang Yuqian came forward to mediate and successfully persuaded Cheng Jinian to leave. In order to let Zhao Xintong and Wang Yuqian concentrate on preparing for the demon master exam, Hu Zi tried to keep them out of it, but the two did not listen and decided to participate in the investigation together.
Qi Xiaoxuan and Hu Zi returned to the ghost market, hoping to find the purpose and clues of Bo Yao’s going to the ghost market. At the same time, Zhao Xintong and Wang Yuqian were responsible for asking the shops along the street, trying to obtain eyewitness information that Bo Yao sent Hu Zi back to the inn at Mao Shi last night. However, neither side’s investigation made substantial progress. In the ghost market, Hu Zi and Qi Xiaoxuan found nothing, but accidentally caught a person who trafficked young children. On the other side, Zhao Xintong and Wang Yuqian’s inquiries also failed to obtain useful information, and both of them looked worried.
At this time, the demon attacked the people of Baiying again. Although the people of Baiying escaped, Zhao Xintong, who happened to pass by, fought with the demon and injured the other’s left arm. When Qi Xiaoxuan and Hu Zi arrived at the scene, the demon had already escaped. Zhao Xintong suggested that if all the demon masters could be checked, it would be possible to find the demon, but this required the approval of the three major halls. At this critical juncture, Qi Xiaoxuan decided to take extraordinary measures to advance the investigation.
During the investigation, they found that Lao Zhang of the Burning Demon Tower was missing. Qi Xiaoxuan and Hu Zi insisted on investigating Lao Zhang, but Lao Zhang suddenly appeared by himself and revealed his uninjured left arm. This plot made the case even more confusing.
