Chapter 278
Episode 278: My Eyes Can’t Fool (1)
Was it because Yu Jin-san’s words were persuasive? The disciples of Taeeulmun Gate seemed to agree with his words.
Except for one person.
“So, an insider murdered Lord Moon? “My brothers would never do that.”
One of the disciples argued, but it had no effect on Jinsan Yu.
“How can you be sure of that? “Are you saying that all of your death penalty punishments are equivalent to Buddhahood?”
“Our family is not the kind of person who would do something like that. “I absolutely cannot agree that this incident was an internal act.”
Yu Jin-san snorted at his confidence.
“That’s funny. The order of things is to check from the closest, so is it better to unconditionally protect them as if they were my own family? That’s why you’re being deceived by something like that.”
“Do not insult us!”
As the atmosphere was about to calm down, Bang Yu-cheol grabbed his shoulder and whispered.
“Sincerely, Priest Jeonghyeon.”
“I told you to calm down. “Whose side are you taking now, Ambassador?”
“That’s not it, I’m trying to confirm the truth. Have you forgotten who these people are?”
“Huh…”
The opponent was no one else but the Yin-Yang Twin Monster.
If you put your mind to it, destroying Taeeulmun Gate would not be an easy task. It was judged that it would be dangerous if the voices became louder.
However, Jinsan Yu did not seem to care much about his reaction.
“We can now find out whether Nobu insulted you or not.”
“Is there a way?”
“A criminal always leaves traces. “Please show me the body.”
Bang Yu-cheol hesitated for a moment.
This was because he had already been dead for ten days and was buried in the ground.
Bringing the deceased back out was not something I could decide on my own.
“Can we discuss it internally for a moment? “It’s something that requires the consent of a majority in the Presbyterian Church…”
“I guess so. “So be it.”
Bang Yu-cheol ran towards the Presbyterian Church.
And Eugene San also came out of the office with his granddaughter. Because there was nothing more to check inside.
“Grandpa, I just said that guy is the ambassador.”
“That’s right. “He looks so immature, but it’s really surprising.”
Bang Yu-cheol’s martial arts skills were not at the top of the list even among the death penalty.
Although he was only first-class, among his priests there were three of the highest level.
Maybe that’s why, even though he was an ambassador, he still felt ignored by his sect.
“But who is the culprit? “Why did they kill him?”
“hmm. Every crime has a motive. They coveted things or there was discord. “There must have been a reason for everything.”
“You kill your family because of something like that? “He is such a bad person.”
“The political factions who only shout for justice with their mouths are actually more sinister on the inside.”
Yu Seol also nodded as if he agreed.
“That’s why I like Sapa better. “Are Hohyeon’s uncles doing well?”
It had already been a long time since I left Paedomun.
The sacred site of Sapa was like home to my granddaughter.
“It looks like our Seol misses his uncles.”
“Yeah~ hehe. “I guess everything will be okay for the kids, right?”
This refers to the gwidudae of the Paedo clan, which is comprised of only children with the best qualifications.
By now, it should have grown into a formidable force.
“No need to worry. “Ddaengjoong is helping Uncle Baekgyu protect that place, right?”
As long as Apostate Jeonghye was there, there was nothing to worry about.
At that time when we were having a lot of conversations. There was a commotion in the hall, which was presumed to be the Presbyterian House.
There seemed to be conflicting opinions about taking out Moonju’s body.
“What did you say just now? “You’re bringing out Lord Moon’s body again, believing only the words of the Yin-Yang Twin Monsters, who may be evil beasts!?”
“Keep your voice down, Elder Kwak! But that doesn’t mean we can refuse their request.”
“I also think that what Elder Yeon said makes sense. “It is true that Lord Mun’s death is not surprising.”
“Now, calm down. “All you have to do is decide by majority vote.”
Yu Seol, who was listening to the elders’ conversation outside, clapped his hands together.
“thank god. “I think three out of four agree.”
“It seems so. “The elder who refuses should also be put on the dragon’s list.”
“huh. “I’m also suspicious of the guy who yelled at my grandpa earlier.”
Aside from the Mundoro elders named Jeonghyeon, he was the strongest person.
Jinsan Yu nodded with a faint smile.
“It will soon be revealed who the culprit is.”
After a while, Bang Yu-cheol, who had gone to the Presbyterian Center, returned and explained the situation.
“You’ve waited a long time. We will soon be moving to proceed with the excavation. Would you like to come with me?”
“That’s right.”
The discussion at the Presbyterian Church has finally ended.
Eugene San and his granddaughter followed him to the place where the grave was being exhumed.
A low-lying mountain behind the manor.
The disciples of Taeeulmun gathered together, performed a ceremony, and then began digging up the tomb.
The work did not take long because the warriors were full of strength.
It was around the time of the solar eclipse.
“Ready!”
The coffin was finally revealed. Now all you have to do is open the lid.
One of the elders gave an order.
“Open it.”
Everyone surrounded the pit and swallowed dry saliva.
Yu Seol also watched with bated breath, with his arms crossed around his grandfather.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
When the coffin lid was opened, the buried body was revealed.
An old man wearing a white robe had his hands folded neatly over his lower abdomen.
As soon as he saw that, Yu Jin-san’s expression darkened.
“Hmm…”
Bang Yu-cheol came next to me and asked.
“What do you think?”
Eugene San had the experience of seeing numerous corpses. It couldn’t even be compared to the disciples of Taeeulmun.
Therefore, unlike others, he noticed something strange at a glance.
It was that the body looked very fine.
“I guessed it, but I guess I was poisoned.”
“How can someone who died after being poisoned be so fine? “It doesn’t make sense because we’ve already confirmed it with a silver needle.”
Jin-san Yu asked back with a pitiful look on his face.
“Then does it make sense that the body, which has been dead for 10 days, is not decomposed?”
“That…”
Bang Yu-cheol was speechless. Because it was clear that it was a situation that did not make sense as he said.
“I have seen something like this. “There are poisons that cannot be identified even with a silver needle.”
Everyone’s eyes focused on Mt. Yujin.
“What is that?”
“It’s arsenic powder. “It can be used as medicine, but if the amount used is excessive, it cannot be tolerated unless it is a perfect acupuncture treatment.”
It was a substance that could be easily collected from minerals, etc., but was prohibited for use by the general public.
If you die from arsenic, there will be no traces of poisoning on your body.
However, because it has the effect of slowing down corruption, it can only be noticed after a long time.
There was also a precedent for a large-scale crackdown on arsenic-related murders in the imperial court.
“That can’t be possible.”
“Who would dare poison someone…”
While everyone at Taeeulmun was shocked, Jinsan Yu approached the body.
Then he pulled back his clothes and looked for signs of wounds.
A penetrating wound that was torn horizontally.
Jin-san Yu held his dragon lance to it and said.
“Anyone, please come here. “We have to check to see if the scars are the same as our weapons.”
The disciples were busy just watching to see if they were afraid to approach Yang Goe.
Bang Yu-cheol had no choice but to approach and compare the blade of the dragon spear and Munju’s wounds.
Then he turned around and shook his head horizontally.
“There is definitely a difference from these people’s weapons.”
At that time, Yu Jin-san’s right hand moved towards Bang Yu-cheol’s waist like a sword.
Up!
“…Huh!?”
It was a lightning-quick gesture that I couldn’t even think of avoiding.
By the time he noticed, Taeeulmun’s sword was already in Yujinsan’s hand.
“Now then, let’s check if what Nobu said is right.”
After finishing speaking, he compared Taeeulmun’s sword and Munju’s scar.
Coincidentally, the size of the wound matched the blade of the sword.
Although this alone cannot be conclusive, the possibility that it was an internal act has increased.
“…How can this be?”
While he was surprised, Yu Jin-san put down his sword, shook off his hands, and stood up.
Then he spoke to the elders.
“Please proceed with the search now. Are any of Moonju’s belongings missing? Also, please check if there is anything inside that appears to be arsenic powder.”
The elders hesitated and looked at each other.
It was because of the question of whether the Yin-Yang twin monsters would do as they were told.
But no matter what he asked, Taeeulmun had no power to refuse.
“From now on, form a group of three and search everywhere! No exceptions should be made!”
“Elder Yes!”
The disciples who received the order began to disperse.
Now all that was left was to wait for the results of the investigation.
The elders of Taeeulmun and the Yin-Yang twins silently stood by the body.
* * *
The disciples who rushed to the manor came in droves only after half hour had passed.
Since three people worked as a group, no one knows who discovered what.
That’s why they were only looking at each other.
“What happened?”
Most of the groups were shaking their heads.
Meanwhile, everyone’s eyes were fixed on one group.
“That…”
said Han Mundo, sweating coldly as if there was some kind of trouble.
Then the elders urged him.
“Go ahead and say it!”
“What did you find?”
After hesitating for a moment, Mundo took out a book from his pocket and held it out.
On the outside of the blue cover, the phrase ‘Taeeulmiri Geombeop (太乙美利劍法)’ was engraved.
“This came out from under Elder Kwak Cheol-jung’s bed.”
At that moment, everyone was shocked.
Other elders surrounded Kwak Cheol-jung and began questioning him.
“How can Elder Kwak still have Master Moon’s military rank that disappeared!?”
“Hurry and explain, Elder Kwak!”
“Is that why you refused to dig up the grave?”
Elder Kwak fidgeted with a pale face.
“I admit I took the rain for a while, but I was planning on returning it after looking at it for a while! “I never committed murder!”
However, no one believed his excuse.
Finally, the three elders pulled out their swords at the same time.
window-! Car window-!!
The atmosphere became cold and alive.
Just before the elders started stabbing, three monks approached from afar and shouted.
“Wait a minute!”
“…?”
Everyone stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on them.
“I found it! “I found arsenic powder!”
Elder Kwak, who was cornered, urgently urged him on.
“Where on earth did you find that!?”
“I came out of Jeong Hyeon’s execution room!”
At that moment, everyone was in shock.
The Yin-Yang twin monsters also knew him well. Moon Joo’s office strongly denied that the culprit was an insider.
Jeong Hyeon, who was singled out, kept blinking in surprise.
“That can’t be possible! Absolutely not me!”
Elder Kwak shouted, extending his index finger toward him.
“Jeonghyeon you bastard! I know very well that you were scolded by Lord Moon not long ago. Are you holding a grudge over that!?”
“Oh no! Someone framed me! I would never…”
He couldn’t continue.
This is because Elder Kwak suddenly rushed towards Jeong Hyeon.
He was moving quickly and was already swinging his right hand as if he was about to slap him.
But it wasn’t an ordinary slap.
At a glance, it was an attack full of strength. If you’re not careful, it’s enough to break your neck bones.
Then a bright light flashed between them.
Up!
When the light faded again, his palms were covered with oil.
And that too with just one finger.
Elder Kwak’s entire body froze in front of the overwhelming force.
“Wait a moment. “There is one more piece of evidence that I looked at in advance.”
“What evidence…”
Yoo Seol squatted down in front of Munju’s body and grabbed his left hand.
“Do you see here? “The blood stains on my fingernails and my skin.”
It was a very subtle trace. So much so that you can’t recognize it unless you look closely.
However, Yin Kai’s superhuman vision did not miss a single detail.
“What does that mean?”
“When I was stabbed in the abdomen, I grabbed the wrist of the criminal who was holding the sword with my left hand. like this.”
Up!
Before I knew it, Yoo Seol was in front of Elder Kwak, grabbing his wrist.
It was a movement like a thunderbolt, so much so that I didn’t even know when it had arrived.
“Ugh!”
Surprised, Elder Kwak exerted strength to shake off his wrist. However, his right hand holding the sword was unable to move as if it were stuck in a crevice in the rock.
“I got hurt when I tried to shake it off with such force.”
“Let go of this!”
No one defended Elder Kwak. Everyone probably wants to confirm the truth.
“Are there any scars inside the sleeve?”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
At that time, Yu Seol slowly raised her left hand, waving her fingers as if she were dancing.
Then he hummed and played with his sleeve.
“Then, let’s check it together~ Lala~ Lala~”
Elder Kwak tried to shake off his wrist until the end, but he couldn’t do it.
“Ugh!”
Soon his sleeves were forcibly rolled up.
At that moment, Yoo Seol’s eyes widened like a rabbit.
“Ugh?”
