Detective K: Secret of the Lost Island Page #8

---

Do Hae, shall I tell you

a story that you know?

- There was a well in a village.

- What is this crazy man saying?

The villagers were having

problems with the rope to the well.

But you know a clever girl called Da Hae

calculated the exact length of rope.

Do you know how?

If the rope is too short,

the bucket will dangle.

Kill her!

And it makes it easy to catch!

You're clever like your sister...

Jeez.

Over here!

He's a clever man,

so he must've thought of a way.

Where do you think

you're crawling off to?

Over there!

Don't be scared.

You have to see your mother.

My lord!

- Are you all right?

- No, I'm not.

- You look fine.

- I said I wasn't!

Thank you.

Attend to him.

You don't have to do that.

A gisaeng paid us good money

to save you.

She seemed incredibly worried.

Was she pretty or...

Not really.

Let's go.

Not you.

You have to pay up.

They've already been covered.

Who paid for them?

I did.

Let's go.

Good sir, I'll compensate you generously

if you'd take me with you.

Seo Pil, can't you cover for me?

- Mom!

- Mom!

Do Hae!

But... what became of Hwa Yeon?

She sympathized with the children

who suffered the same fate that she had.

It would have been difficult

to convince the army otherwise

without revealing that she was a spy.

You remind me of a frilled lizard.

This is the trend these days.

What do you think?

It looks uncomfortable.

Hold it!

She is a citizen of Joseon!

She's the king's treasured subject,

so treat her with respect.

Did you see her face?

She's totally swept off her feet.

My voice didn't quiver at the end?

- It wasn't weird, right?

- Well, it wasn't great...

Seeing that you're both alive,

I take it that the children are safe.

Wait, what happened to your friend?

As the detective has advised

we confiscated his wealth

and distributed it to the poor.

It bought back the freedom for many slaves

and I thought we'd be able to feed all

the hungry families for a while, but sadly...

Sadly?

He took his own life.

It was greed that drove him,

so how would he have remained sane?

Losing all that fortune

which must have been worse

than any other punishment.

His Majesty has acknowledged

you as his subject.

Must you leave for Japan?

I wish to go out into the world.

Come back to Joseon whenever you wish.

- When you come back, I...

- Wherever I am...

I will live the rest of my days

as a subject of Joseon.

- Don't.

- It's just...

I won't hear of it.

- She's just not into you.

- Shut up!

She's not!

I thought about what you called a dream.

So, what is it that you want to be?

I want to become a flower.

A flower?

Why a flower?

Don't flowers get treated like royalty

wherever they go?

They don't get pulled out like weeds

or get stepped on like grass.

And they're adored by everyone.

Even if you aren't a flower,

people are precious just the way they are.

[Paju, Gyeonggi Province. Not long after]

What a loss of a beauty.

Doesn't it look like she was

stabbed with a sharp object?

Judging from the depth of these marks,

I don't think it was an object.

Two identical punctures.

An equal distance

between the marks.

That suggests...

Suggests?

That hurts!

Have you lost your mind?

As expected, canine teeth.

Was it a beast then?

Not a beast, but a man.

Can't be. How can a man

create these puncture wounds?

Move!
