Episode 308
“I’m sorry to see you again like this.”
“Goodbye! Instead, please exin why you suddenly invaded the main stand and caused amotion!”
“I have already given the same exnation several times, but since the Great Lord has asked, I will answer it onest time. Among the leaders of the Suzakudae, there is a person who was in secret with the Demonic Cult. “We are here to take away the criminal.”
“Inner tube? “Who on earth told me this?”
Jujakdaeju yells with a very indignant expression.
After taking my gaze away from her, I looked around and a smile appeared on my face.
Inside the formation formed by the Suzaku members.
The sight of a woman looking this way with a puzzled expression caught my eye.
“Zhongli Xiaozhe. Pleasee forward.”
“…What did you say just now?”
Hwaseongdo’s face became nk.
I seemed surprised that an unexpected person was mentioned.
It was a natural reaction.
Jong-ri So-yeon.
A young female expert who receives a lot of attention from the world.
One of the talents who will lead the future of Maeng.
The person who was like the signboard of the jujakdae was none other than Geombong (劍鳳) Jong-ri So-yeon.
What if it is true that she was in cahoots with the Demonic Cult and that fact is widely known by the Cheonan Inspectorate?
There was going to be a huge storm.
It goes without saying that the main force would suffer enormous damage in the process.
“If you don’te out, I have no choice but to go myself.”
“……”
Zhongli Shaoyeon did not move.
I just busy rolling my eyes.
I withdrew the smile from my face and took a step forward.
visor!
Yan Yun-geom (煙雲劍), the submander of the Jujakdae, blocked my path with his sword drawn.
“No matter how much it is Cheonan Prison, this is not it.”
“What do you mean it’s not?”
“It means the method is not good. “You should also think about the dignity of the Suzakudae.”
Like Hwaseongdo, Yeon Woon-geom was an expert in flower painting.
If the best sword among women was Botaam’s swordsman, the two female swordsmen who were evaluated as closest to her were Amipa’s Baekungeom and Murimmaeng’s Yeonungeom.
“For face.”
“Couldn’t you have sent a letter to the Lord in advance and asked for his cooperation? “What is the reason for using force to do this?”
“I just chose the surest method.”
“……?”
“What if you ask for cooperation in advance and the criminal gets wind of it and runs away? Or what if the main team tries to cover up the incident?”
“Cheonan Inspector General! “Do you know what you’re talking about!”
“What do you mean, what do we believe and ask for cooperation from the Suzakudae? “It’s an organization that has no contact whatsoever and has never worked together before.”
“I will not tolerate any morements that disparage the Suzakudae!”
A heavy fighting spirit emanated from Yan Yun Sword’s whole body.
She couldn’t help but be angry.
Depending on how you listen to what I am saying now, it could be seen as a remark that disparages the entire Suzakudae.
‘If he had been the head of the existingw enforcement branch, he would not have said it so bluntly but instead said it in a positive way.’
I feel sorry for the Lord of Suzaku, but I had no intention of handling this matter smoothly and moving on.
It was Cheonan Gambu’s first official job.
The topicality had to be raised to the maximum possible.
In this way, the status of Cheonan Gambu will also increase.
This was the reason why he continued to provoke Yeon Woon-geom with provocative words.
‘It would be even better if Yeonwoon Sword couldn’t ovee me and attacked me here.’
Unfortunately, it didn’t seem like that would happen.
Although he was acting very excited, Yeon Woon-geom’s eyes were cold and sunken.
‘Well, it’s not like he won the position of Lord of the Lienun Sword by gambling.’
She knew that fighting with me now would do more harm than good.
They’re just arguing with me to buy time to figure out what’s going on.
You honestly don’t want to start a fight with me.
Some of the members of the main unit standing in the corner seemed to be trying to leave their seats, as if they had received some instructions from her.
Quang!
I took a strong step forward and drew the attention of the middle school students to me.
He then spoke as if warning.
“No one should leave this ce.”
“…….”
“We have not yet received Zhongli Xiaoze’s new recruit. “If there is someone who is doing something foolish, we have no choice but to use force.”
“Are you serious? “The Cheonan Inspector General has now dered that he will be willing to fight against the main forces!”
“There’s nothing you can’t do.”
Rather, it was what I hoped for.
The most ideal picture I hope for is for the situation to grow out of control.
The Great Master of Juju, who was watching the fight between me and Yan Yun Sword with a bewildered expression, sighed and said.
“Vice owner. “Go away for now.”
“But my lord!”
Yeonun-geom protested, but Hwaseongdo stopped her with a wave of his hand and turned his attention to me.
A low, subdued voice that tightened the hearts of those who heard it echoed throughout the area.
“Cheonan Inspector General.”
“Please speak.”
“You didn’t do this simply because of suspicion, right?”
“Of course not.”
“You will have to present convincing evidence. Otherwise…”
“I told you from the beginning. “I will disclose the evidence if you wish.”
“Good. Commander Zhongli, pleasee forward.”
“……yes.”
Jong Li So-yeon reluctantly answered and stood in front of me with heavy steps.
I gestured to Hwang Ho-jin, who was standing behind me, to restrain her.
While Jong-ri So-yeon was banned from performing internal exercises and tied to ropes, Jong-ri So-yeon did not protest at all.
She knew that resisting would be useless in a situation like this.
Stinging gazes poured in.
The members of the main unit, who were displeased with the current situation, were ring at me with eyes that looked like they were going to eat me.
I hummed inwardly and held the end of the rope in my hand.
As I turned around and walked away, Hwaseong followed next to me as if he had been waiting for me and said.
“I will apany you.”
“Are you saying you will personally stop by Cheonan Inspector General and check the evidence?”
“If what you said here wasn’t false, there would be no reason to refuse.”
“of course.”
Jong-ri So-yeon, tied to the rope, lowered her head with a sad expression.
Pity was evident in Hwaseongdo’s eyes as he looked back at her.
Cheonan Kambu members rushed out of the pce and moved around, as if guarding them.
* * *
Interrogation room in thew enforcement hall.
I said as I ced the documents and evidence brought by Seo Ho-seon and Sa Woo-yeon on the table.
“I will not ask you whether you admit your guilt. “At this point, I think we’ve already passed the stage where we need to hear the parties’ admissions.”
“…….”
Hwaseongdo, who was sitting next to me, looked puzzled.
Her hand trembled slightly as she picked up the document.
‘It looks like you’re in great shock.’
As much as you trusted him, you probably feel betrayed as well.
In his previous life, Zhong Li Shao-yeon seeded Yan Yun-geom, who died on the battlefield, and ascended to the position of head of the main unit.
Of course, there was no way that Hwaseong Ind, the master of the jujube, would not have intervened in her promotion.
Presumably, Hwaseongdo had chosen Jong-ri So-yeon as his sessor.
“Why did you do that?”
The interrogation took ce in a heavy atmosphere.
I asked a few simple questions, and instead of answering, Zhongli Xiaoyeon remained silent.
How much time has passed like that?
“Boss. “This is Sawooyeon.”
“Pleasee in.”
Sa Woo-yeon, a man in ck who appeared in the interrogation room, handed me a bundle.
After unwrapping the wrapping cloth and checking its contents, I poured it out on the table.
“…!”
“Additional evidence has arrived.”
Zhongli Shaoyeon’s eyes widened as if they were torn.
The face seemed to be asking how these items were here.
“There were two main reasons why we caused a disturbance and confronted the Suzaku members. The first thing I exined to the unitmander is the second…”
“Seongdonggyeokseo (聲東擊西). “Did you secretly let the members break into Jong-ri So-yeon’s residence while all the attention was focused?”
“That’s right.”
Hwaseongdoughed bitterly.
She looked up at the ceiling in silence and covered her face with her palms.
It was a rare sight.
It was rare for her to look this disheveled in front of others.
‘Even if I wanted to catch the pod, I wouldn’t be able to.’
Because there is literally evidence in front of you that cannot be removed or removed.
Most of what is written in the documents is merely circumstantial evidence, but the physical evidence that Seo Ho-seon and Sa Woo-yeon have recently obtained has greatly increased their credibility.
[Afterpleting the deal with Zhongli Shaoyeon, we captured the demon cultists who were trying to leave Honam and collected their belongings.] [If
Zhongli Shaoyeon’s residence ister raided andpared with the items found there, her guilt will be more clearly proven. I think I can do it.]
I also nned to interrogate the captured demons to obtain information.
There was no way for Zhongli Shaoyeon to escape.
“I will ask again. “Why did you do this?”
“…….”
“Zhongli Xiaoze.”
Despite repeated questions, Zhongli Shaoyeon did not open her mouth until the end.
Looking closely, it seemed like he was watching Hwaseong Ind’s thoughts.
I tapped the table with my index finger and sighed softly.
If Zhongli Shaoyeon did not answer the questions, he could not write a report to be sent to Meng Jubu.
‘Once Hwaseong Ind returns, we will have to torture them right away.’
In the first ce, interrogation in a moderate manner did not suit my temperament.
It took a long time, and above all, the possibility of the target spitting out correct information was low.
Coincidentally, among the members of Cheonan Gambu, there were several Germans from the Tang family.
If theye forward, we will be able to obtain quality information.
Hwaseongdo, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth.
“There is one thing I would like to ask you.”
“I’m sure you won’t say you want to ask for leniency.”
“Could you please ease the punishment for Commander Zong Li?”
“……?”
I looked back at Hwaseong Ind with an expression of disbelief.
I meant it as a joke, but I never thought she would really feel sorry for me.
I never thought that she, a principled person, would protect a criminal who broke the rules of the Order.
It was not a light crime, but a serious crime of having an affair with the devil.
I was so caught up in emotions that I went way beyond the scope of understanding.
“The reason why Commander Zong Li engaged in an internal conflict with the Demonic Cult is probably not unrted to me.”
“what do you mean.”
“Have you ever thought it was strange? “Why did a talented person who would have been sessful even if he didn’tmit fraud do something like this?”
It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t curious.
As Hwaseongdo said, I was curious.
Why did Jong-Li So-yeon have such an affair with Ma-gyo?
Not only me, but also Seo Ho-seon, who had recently been ordered to investigate her, reacted as if he could not understand.
A look of pain appeared on Hwaseongdo’s face.
“It’s because I ced too high expectations on her. “I couldn’t ovee the pressure and fell into extramarital affairs.”
