Detective K: Secret of the Virtuous Widow Page #2

---

What have you been up to?

Got yourself in a mess.

It's all my fault Your Highness.

Please punish me.

Compose yourself, Councilor.

It's no big deal.

You are hereby dismissed

from your office.

As probation,

you'll report on virtuous widows

to recommend for an award.

Your Highness,

this servant still has unfinished...

It's a quiet place for

self-reprobation.

I believe that location

is Jeok-seong.

I respectfully take your command,

Your Highness.

And, do something about that beard.

Sir!

Very impressed

to see you released so fast.

I heard you're very close to the King.

Such an influential figure!

I, Han Seo-phil shall serve you

for the rest of my life here...

- in this capital...

- Quiet!

I need to go down to Jeok-seong,

so hurry up.

Jeok-seong?

Why go down to Jeok-seong

when everything's going on in the capital?

Did you get screwed?

I told you

we got a long way to go!

What?

Did you really get screwed?

Sir.

Who could this be?

Minister Lim would like

to have a word.

Minister Lim?

And you are?

He is my uncle, sir.

I have no reason to meet him.

I'll arrange a carriage.

Sh*t! I'm in a hurry.

Who's Minister Lim?

He can't order you around

even though you've been screwed.

Isn't that right?

I mean when you must be upset...

Let's go since you're in a hurry.

To what does a petty scholar

like myself owe this honour?

I heard that you'll be inspecting

virtuous widows.

His Highness let me know.

It's to make me repent.

No matter to talk about.

The King must have been bored.

King was bored so that

he didn't send a lunatic

who escaped from prison in

for questioning?

So when do you start off

to Jeok-seong?

I have a favor to ask.

Actually the virtuous widow

you were assigned to inspect is

my niece-in-law.

If you're trying to buy me off,

I'll be on my way.

Then I guess I'll write up a petition

requesting for you to get investigated.

What was she like?

How can I make such a request

when she caused so many issues?

She threw herself off a cliff after

grieving for her husbands death.

I don't want to stain her pure death.

I want you to make a fair inspection

and rebuild the fundamental principles

of Confucianism

that's been smeared with dirt

by the Christians.

Sir, do you know what it was like

when I first saw you?

You were giving off this dazzling luster.

And I thought, wow!

You live long enough and

you meet such a character.

Wise, courageous, ethical and strong...

I was moved.

But you need to go through experience

to really know a person.

After all that fiasco last night...

Doing this and doing that...

light as a feather,

no honor, cowardly, petty...

and arrogant.

Bong-phil!

It's Seo-phil, sir.

- Yes, Seo-phil.

- What?

Why are you following me?

What? I thought we had

a long way to go.

Yes, there is a long way to go.

Were almost at Jeok-seong

so you should be on your way.

We're far from the capital now.

I lost all my money and customers

because of you.

And, you want me to go back?

Men and women alike

just won't leave me alone.

Sir, even animals will

pull out all their fur

to repay for gratitude.

Here!

Make yourself a coat.

This so-called aristocrat...

What?

You deserve a good beating.

I called an aristocrat an aristocrat.

What's wrong with that?

I guess you're right.

But I'm still angered.

Sir, just between us,

you're a funny aristocrat.

You bastard!

Is this the wolfsbane flower plantation?

Yes, sir.

Sorry. I'm not going to ask

anymore so finish eating.

Woo-jin!

News travels fast.

They ignore you because they heard

you've been screwed.

You bastard!

What's that?

A shooting star?

What? In the middle of the day?

A bird?

- It's an arrow.

- It's an arrow.

You're useful sometimes.

What?

Why?

No. It's nothing.

What? Tell me.

I've got good intuition.

What is it?

It might be better not to know.

Fine. I'm going!

Happy now?

No, it's not that...

But you...

Hurry up...

Bong-phil, Bong-phil!

Bong-phil, Bong-phil!

Sir, again...

It's Seo-phil.

Now it's okay.

I got so worried about you.

I couldn't swallow a drop of water.

Please just swallow that food

in your mouth.

Say hello.

He saved your life.

We wish to stay

for a couple of days.

I'll pay a proper amount.

No need sir.

I was getting lonely.

Please stay as long as you want.

There should have been

no reason to target him.

He's done a proper diagnosis.

Make some noise.

I thought you were a ghost.

Turd!

You must be begging for death.

You can die from this flower.

Move!

Is that wolfsbane flower?

Yes, sir.

I hear it's difficult to handle

because of its poison.

You have good skills.

You can't survive in this town

if you can't handle these flowers.

- This is nothing.

- Is that right?

Where did you get this?

I'm here because I want the answer

to that question.

Iron or man gets stronger

with more beatings.

This cast iron has been struck

thousands of times.

Can you hold this?

What are you doing?

No!

It's not from this land.

To make a monster like this,

it must have taken

a dozen blacksmiths.

Not from this country?

No, it's from China.

China?

That's right.

There's only one person

who could have imported this product,

The trade magnate, Master Han.

Master Han.

Peanuts.

Peanuts for sale.

Peanuts!

Peanuts for sale.

Peanuts!

What is with that look?

A disguise.

I'm perfect at everything that I do.

This level of undercover

disguise is necessary.

You should've made a little more effort.

Your intuition was right.

Embezzled funds go

through here, right?

You knew?

I nearly got assassinated

on my first day.

They're more aggressive than I thought.

Be careful.

I don't understand

how they handle goods of that size.

Outside the capital.

Nothing that a trade magnate can't handle.

It's too easy.

If they converted so many

products into cash,

such amount would be tremendous.

Won't be easy.

Can you trace the ministers

of the royal court?

Pry into the court?

If they embezzle such funds,

someone had to benefit...

either in property or by position.

Minister Lim, too.

It must have required a lot of money

to become a big shot of the royal court.

I understand.

And I need to find out

about this Master Han.

Can I have some peanuts?

It's not for sale.

Who's there?

Is Master Han present?

The Master is out.

Then I'll wait inside.

Didn't you hear that

the Master is out?

Take this.

Don't get on my nerves

and be on your way.

Yes, I'm on my way.

You're not worth

the mole on your face.

Master Han bastard has

beautiful ladies around.

Minister Lim sends another guest.

What a persistent man!

If you look that hard,

she'll talk back?

Pathetic bastard!

Who knows?

They say faith will move a mountain.

You just pay attention to reporting

on the virtuous widow.

Yes, honey?

What?

I know, honey.

Pathetic!

No wonder you get hit by arrows.

So let's quickly wrap this up

and go back to the capital.

I don't want to die here.
