Detective K: Secret of the Lost Island Page #5

---

Let me see that winning hand of yours.

Lay them out.

I think she played

a sleight of hand...

Get the lot.

Thank you for the game.

How did you do that?

What do you mean?

I just got lucky, is all.

This is unbelievable.

We have to be elsewhere.

Wait!

- Is that all of you?

- What are you doing?

Hot!

What's going on?

- Destroy it!

- Take it down!

What?

Where did they go?

I think we've lost them.

It's okay now.

Thank you.

I believe you're Japanese,

but your Korean is quite good.

But who are you to help us?

Perhaps there will be a day...

when I tell you everything.

But... I shall get going for now.

Did you do anything?

Anything at all?

You raunchy bastard.

Let's get out of here.

My lord.

Welcome.

We hope you've enjoyed your stay.

Come visit again another time.

This is where the ferry crew

spends their time.

You have the silver bar, right?

Of course.

After all the trouble we went through...

It's gone.

Perhaps there will be a day...

when I tell you everything.

Look at you.

Men are such interesting creatures.

You'd think one would lose their appetite

after making such a crucial mistake.

But you're still hungry.

Have you had enough?

You should have some more, huh?

Good sir.

Have you come to investigate

the fake silver?

I told you I would take care of it.

Please return to your islet.

The Norons are looking for

any excuse to catch you.

You think they'd let you be?

But you have my back.

You want us to go down together?

There seems to be more than one group

involved in the fake silver manufacturing.

I'll go to the gisaeng house

and find out who is involved.

Why go there?

Traders and the crew on

the ferry seem to frequent there.

I'm sure I'll find a clue there.

Im a prisoner in exile.

I cannot come forward

even if I solve this case.

If this case is a success,

you'll take all the credit.

Understood.

I'll prepare everything

to get you the help you need.

Who is the most beautiful gisaeng here?

What?

I don't understand what you're saying.

- Send in another...

- My lord.

Tell another to come in.

Stop being such a show-off.

There's always one person

who's like this.

Someone who comes in

and speaks in a foreign language.

We came here to acquire clues

about the Japanese.

Where else would we find a gisaeng

who can speak Japanese?

Who is the most beautiful gisaeng here?

The... best? Uhm...

Send in another gisaeng.

Send in another gisaeng.

Send in another gisaeng.

- Send in another gisaeng.

- Send in another gisaeng.

Welcome, gentlemen.

Youve come to the right place.

Im the most beautiful

gisaeng in this house.

- Send in another gisaeng!

- Send in another gisaeng!

I'm Sakura.

About that...

The food is quite delicious.

But is a cook allowed out of the kitchen?

Get back into the kitchen.

Are you planning on rejecting

all the gisaengs of this establishment?

Aren't... you that thief?

Has stealing from me

done you any good?

My name is Hisako.

You startled me.

I quit drinking.

- Let me fill your cup.

- I said I've quit.

Is this where you meant for us

to have our heart-to-heart?

With so many eyes watching us?

We have drinks, but no music.

Can you play something, zither player?

You there.

Yes, you.

The one not making eye contact.

He is blind.

How unfortunate.

Look at you.

You must work out.

I don't exercise.

Im covered with bed sores

from lying around all day.

I need to take a leak.

- I'll come with you.

- My lord!

I've held onto my virginity

just for this moment with you!

You seriously look like

my younger brother.

Ma'am, please!

Do you know what the biggest giveaway is

when one only pretends to be blind?

When a blind man hears a sound

his eyes naturally move towards

the direction of thatsound.

But pretenders refrain from doing that.

Just like you.

It's you, my lord.

I wondered who you might be.

The sound of your fist is amazing.

Cant find your shoes

because you cant see?

Those are your shoes.

Wear them.

My lord... why are you doing this to me?

Why do you pretend to be blind?

It gives off an air of

greater musicality.

Call it... a sense of

mysticism, my lord.

Please, my livelihood depends on it.

- Can't you keep this a secret between us?

- I will keep it a secret.

But will you do for me in return?

But I know nothing.

I haven't even asked you anything yet.

About that woman, Hisako...

I only know that she's from Japan...

Japan?

Is she so frightening that

she'd make your teeth chatter in fear?

My lord, I really don't know anything.

I just come and play the music

when I'm called.

That's all.

- What are you doing here?

- Pardon?

I called him to see if he can

teach me to play the zither.

Indeed.

That's correct.

I should get going then.

Did you know that he isn't blind?

How can you not notice

when his acting is that bad?

Lets go back inside.

I have many questions for you.

I'd love to... but as you see,

I'm rather popular here.

You must make a reservation

for a future date.

Wait.

Do you by any chance,

pack a hard slap?

A tear-jerker.

Hand, you remembered.

Geez.

Name.

People call me the zither player.

Age.

Year of the Monkey.

Do the Japanese ferry crew members

often come to the gisang house?

- Hurry up and answer!

- Geez.

Seeing as they're regulars

many of them stay at the gibang

until the ship sails back to Japan.

Who do they usually meet with?

Gisaengs, if they've come

to a gibang.

Anyone else?

I'll give you a smack!

They spend the most of their time

with the gisaengs

and it's the gisaengs

who know them best.

What I'm asking is,

is there anything suspicious

going on at the gisang house?

Perhaps a secret place

where children make fake silver...

Hey!

Fake... silver?

You dense fool.

If you speak a word

about having talked to us

then well tell everyone

that youre a fraud.

Seriously, why are you doing this to me?

I'll ask one more question.

Tell me what kind of a woman Hisako is.

She only arrived here

a few months ago.

I'm not sure if she's really Japanese.

But I heard she was

very famous even back in Japan.

No one seems to know

why she came to Joseon.

She's a top gisaeng who only

entertains Japanese guests.

She has a temper of a lioness.

No one messes with her.

But most importantly,

after observing her from up close

she is...

an incredible beauty.

Right?

You have a good eye.

Is she seeing anyone?

Like I said, she's got a fiery temper.

- What chance do I have?

- Oh, come on.

You definitely have a chance.

No question about it.

What?

Why must I keep track

of Hisako's movements?

Because she's got something

to do with the fake silver.

That's complete nonsense.

She might have a prickly temperament,

but she's not capable of doing that.

I'm sure that b*tch is

capable of anything.

Who she meets,

what they do together

and what she does when she's alone...

Report everything to me

and don't leave anything out.

Good work.

My lord...

My lord.
