Chapter 277
Episode 277: The criminal leaves a trace (3)
“Didn’t you murder our Master Moon!”
Jinsan Yu made an expression of bewilderment. Because no one was killed, at least in the southern region.
If there were any, there were only masked warriors from Haereung Island.
Besides, wasn’t it only in the guest room ten days ago?
“What nonsense are you talking about? “If we kill someone, we won’t lie and say we killed him.”
When Yang Goe completely denied it, Bang Yu-cheol became confused.
Aren’t the Yin-Yang twins famous for not knowing what to say? Bang Yu-cheol clearly knew that.
Therefore, there is no reason to deny that they are evil beasts. It was a completely incomprehensible reaction.
At that time, Eum-gae asked me a question with a puzzled expression.
“Who did that? “We said that.”
“Lord Moon left a blood oath before he died.”
It must be said that he wrote with bloody hands right before he died.
Yu Seol even let out a laugh as if it was absurd.
“What did you say? When my grandpa kills, he kills with certainty. “Do you think I’ll handle things so sloppily that it forces me to write?”
Yu Jin-san, who had been listening quietly, cleared his throat with an embarrassed expression.
“Hmm! “It’s not wrong, but why are you talking so much?”
“This guy keeps doubting us.”
Bang Yu-cheol didn’t know what to do.
Even Eum-gae denied the crime, which made his head complicated.
At that time, Jinsan Yu looked at him as if he was pitiful and said.
“How can you determine the culprit if you haven’t seen it in person? And can you be sure that the blood letter was not fabricated?”
“That…”
Wasn’t it a martial arts world full of secret plots? Accusing someone of murder was something that happened occasionally.
Bang Yu-cheol hesitated, unable to answer.
Then Yu Jin-san shot at him again.
“If your name was written in blood, would you be able to call yourself a criminal!? “No matter how leisurely we seem, we can’t afford to worry about small children!”
Has Bang Yu-cheol finally realized that something is not clear? He lowered his head and thought for a moment.
Soon, his expression, which was full of anger and suspicion, began to gradually change.
And after a while. He asked in a more subdued voice.
“Are you saying… it wasn’t your doing?”
“How many times do you say it? But when I asked, “Oh my, this guy is so rude to an adult…”
When Yu Jin-san raised one hand, Bang Yu-cheol’s tone immediately changed.
“Then who said that?”
“How do we know that? “Maybe some old bastard framed us to cover up his actions.”
Since the Yin-Yang Twin Monsters, who were hostile to the Murim Alliance, were in the southern Murim, it would have been a good situation for someone to take advantage of.
“Who on earth would do that…”
Regardless of the reason, being impersonated is not a very pleasant experience. It was a problem that could not be ignored.
Moreover, it will be a good experience for the granddaughter who will lead Moorim in the future.
Yu Jin-san said as he forced a skewer into Bang Yu-cheol’s hand.
“For now, finish eating this. “After I finish eating, I’ll stop by and take a look.”
“Where do you mean?”
“Your recluse. “I don’t care whether the Murim League bastards die or not, but we can’t sit by and watch someone sell our name.”
“But that’s still…” When
he hesitated, Yoo Seol brought her face closer and asked.
“why. Are you embarrassed to take us and introduce us to your family?”
“It’s not like that, but…”
It must have felt uncomfortable to bring the yin-yang twin monsters into the shrine.
How can they take away the most hostile figures in the Murim Alliance?
But that wasn’t his option.
“First, hurry up and eat the skewers first. “I bought it with the money my uncle gave me, so it would be a waste to leave it behind.”
First of all, I have to fill my hungry stomach before doing anything.
Bang Yu-cheol silently began to eat the food assigned to him.
Yu Seol watched him eat with a happy smile and asked.
“It’s delicious, right? “Would you like me to buy you another one?”
“….”
Bang Yu-cheol lowered his head as if it was uncomfortable to talk to Eum-goe.
As a member of the Murim Alliance, how can you have a friendly conversation with the Yin-Yang twin monsters?
But it wasn’t just a rumor to be ignored.
“Why aren’t you answering?”
“…This is enough.”
Yu Seol calmly waited for his meal to finish.
Since I ate it so quickly, it didn’t take that long.
“Now, please guide me to the shrine.”
“There’s no need to do that. “Don’t worry, we’ll check again to find out who the culprit is.”
As expected, it seemed like he didn’t want to be taken to the shrine.
However, it was not a yin-yang pair that could be given up like this.
Yoo Seol, who was looking Bang Yu-cheol up and down, looked at his sword sheath and grinned.
This is because, along with the symbol of the Murim Alliance, a phrase that was presumed to be the name of the sect was written on it.
“Tae-eul (太乙)? “Are you from Taeeulmun?”
At that moment, Bang Yu-cheol was visibly embarrassed.
His face turned pale, he stuttered and didn’t know what to do.
“That…”
Yu Seol said to her grandfather with a serious expression.
“I guess this guy doesn’t want to take me there. Let’s leave it and go on our own.”
“OK. “If you ask around where Taeeulmun Gate is, you’ll find it quickly.”
At that moment, Bang Yu-cheol stood up from his seat.
“I will guide you!”
His voice was loud, but his eyes were watery.
This may be because the guilt of committing a sin against the monastic order was flooding in.
He had an expression on his face as if he were bringing a devil into the house.
“But why is your face like that? “I think we might get into trouble at Taeeulmun?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
“Don’t be scared. “We are not good people, but not to that extent.”
That one word actually made Bang Yu-cheol even more anxious.
Finally, tears fell from his eyes.
“Kkeuheuheuk….”
A worse voice pulled his clothes and pushed him forward.
“Stop!” Don’t cry and take the lead quickly. “We are busy people too.”
With tears in his eyes, Bang Yu-cheol began to force himself to move his unsteady steps.
* * *
Taeeulmun Gate was a distance of half a hour by road.
Perhaps because it was a rural area, the size of the manor was not large for a sect that was affiliated with the Murim League.
It looked like a place that could accommodate about fifty to one hundred people.
“Are you here?”
When Yoo Seol asked, Bang Yu-cheol answered in a dying voice.
“…exactly. I will go and explain first, so please wait a moment. “I really need you to ask me a favor.”
He looked so desperate that Jo-sun couldn’t refuse.
After receiving permission, Bang Yu-cheol began trudging towards the manor’s gate.
The way their shoulders slumped made them look like livestock going into a slaughterhouse.
Yu Jin-san, who was staring at his back, clicked his tongue and said.
“Tsk. “I thought he was brave and fearless, but he turned out to be a huge crybaby.”
“That’s right. “I think they know how to eat you.”
“Well, the Murim Alliance won’t be happy with us. “It’s not difficult, so let’s wait for a while.”
Zhao Son stood at the entrance of the manor and waited for him to come out again.
Before long, the commotion began to grow stronger on the other side of the fence.
“Big ambassador!? “What did you say just now?”
“Who did you come with?”
“Um, why does the yin-yang twin monster come here?”
“Bang Yu-cheol, you bastard! “Are you really crazy?”
Yu Seol looked at his grandfather with a gloomy face.
“I guess they really hate us for coming.”
“Don’t worry. “You will be welcomed back soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of swords being drawn rang out simultaneously.
window-! Chachachachang-!!
The life force emanating from beyond the person in charge could be felt even here.
“…oh my god?”
“hmm. “Let’s go in first.”
With the situation like this, I couldn’t wait forever.
Yu Jin-san slowly extended his right hand forward.
Then, an intangible energy gushed out from the palm of one’s hand and the door was opened wide.
Kwaang-!
Eugene San and his granddaughter trudged in, shoulder to shoulder.
As expected, everyone gathered in the front yard and appeared ready for battle.
About 50 warriors dressed in white attire like Bang Yu-cheol.
All of them had faces with mixed emotions of anger and fear.
That time when there was breathtaking tension.
“Don’t worry. “It won’t hurt you if you stay still.”
Although the rumor was reassuring, the disciples here did not budge.
If a battle breaks out, Taeeulmun Gate will be destroyed in an instant.
Bang Yu-cheol urgently cried out to the members of the clan.
“Everyone calm down! They say these people are not the thugs who killed Lord Mun!”
At that time, someone slapped Bang Yu-cheol in the face.
Looking at his age, he seemed to be an elder of a sect.
“There are hundreds of alliance members who have been killed by those maddus so far! “How could this guy called Daesang-hyung be so thoughtless!”
“Not this time, Elder! “I’m here to prove it, so please believe me!”
The elder of Taeeulmun frowned and tried to shout something.
But no sound came out of his mouth. This is because my body froze due to the force emitted by the leak.
I can’t keep watching it forever.
Yu Jin-san stepped forward and asked softly.
“where are you? “The place where Munju was murdered.”
Bang Yu-cheol could not bear to speak openly and was pointing somewhere with his eyes.
It was a hall near the center of the manor, the entrance of which was sealed with yellow paper.
I’ll have to go in and check it out first.
The new form of the Yin-Yang Twin Monster glided towards that place like the wind.
They were opening the door and going in, but no one even thought to stop them.
Suddenly-!
Inside, there was only a table and some furniture.
It had a simple appearance for Munju’s office.
“I think he died sitting there.”
It was because of the blood stains on the chair and table.
Yu Jin-san nodded with his arms crossed.
“hmm. “I think that’s what it means to think about allocating expenses.”
“Look here.”
On the table that the granddaughter pointed to, the phrase ‘Yin-Yang Pair’ was engraved in blood stains.
The writing looked as if it had been roughly written with a finger, so it could be read if you looked closely.
Anyway, I didn’t feel very good thinking that someone had impersonated me.
“I must catch what kind of rascal he is.”
It was while I was looking at the traces.
A shout of presence was heard from behind, and a group of people followed inside.
It was Bang Yu-cheol and his priests.
“What do you think?”
“The stains are all over the place and the direction is not uniform. “It means that he didn’t die from a single blow.”
Bang Yu-cheol was slightly surprised and nodded.
“That’s right. “He suffered penetrating wounds to his upper body and a cut wound to his throat.”
“As expected. The criminal tried to ambush him while he was sitting, but failed to hit his vital point. So he must have pulled out his weapon again and finished off by cutting his throat. “Afterwards, he scrawled our names on his fingers with blood.”
After finishing speaking, Jinsan Yu stood in front of the table and pulled out the dragon lance.
Then he gave a short shot into the air above the chair.
Shoot!
A red river swirled around where the spear blade passed, showing off its majesty.
After completing the movement, Jinsan Yu retrieved the spear again and asked.
“What do you think when you see this?”
“I think anyone would fall off their chair if hit by the blow from earlier.”
Jinsan Yu pointed to the blood stains on the floor with the tip of his spear.
“But instead of being pushed backwards, your gatekeeper received the force while sitting down. This means that your resistance is higher than that of your opponent. But how was it possible for the criminal to kill him in a matter of seconds?”
At that time, Yoo Seol narrowed his eyes and said.
“They must have used a cowardly move~”
Yu Jin-san nodded and continued with his next inference.
“Then number two. “Where did the criminal come in and how did he get out?”
“Hmm, the ceiling and walls are fine, so I guess they didn’t go back and forth through the door?”
“OK. However, it is impossible to just walk in through the door and kill someone stronger than yourself like that. “I must have let my guard down somehow.”
Yoo Seol stroked her chin for a moment and asked quietly.
“So the person you know well is the culprit?”
The disciples of Taeeulmun Gate, who were indifferently listening to the grandson’s conversation, had their eyes shining.
This is because the scope of the evil eye was narrowing as plausible inferences continued.
Jin-san Yu glanced at them and said.
“Yes. I think the fearless guy who dared to sell our name is right here.”
I was planning to prove it from now on.
