Chapter: 1687
But by the time Pyo-wol arrived, the inn was empty yet again.
Pyo-wol asked a servant who was cleaning up,
�Where did the theater troupe go?�
�Oh! They packed their bags as soon as they came in and left.�
�They left right away?�
�Yes! As soon as their leader came back, they talked to him for a while and then left in a hurry.�
�Their leader came back?�
�Yes! The person with a small stature and slightly hunched back is the leader, right? If so, then yes, he came back.�
�Did he come back alone?�
�He seemed to have been pulling a cart.�
�A cart?�
�Yes! It was a cart with a large box��
�Do you know what was inside the box?�
�How could I know? I can�t just look inside a guest�s luggage as I please.�
Pyo-wol didn�t ask any more questions.
The Golden Heaven Society and the Heavenly Flower Troupe.
Two of the largest groups that had entered Runan had disappeared on the same day, and at the same time.
Pyo-wol didn�t think it was a coincidence.
Furthermore, Jang Noya and his subordinates, whom he had ordered to monitor the Golden Heaven Society, were all killed.
It was clear that the Golden Heaven Society, especially Dok Gohyang and Um Soso, were involved in this incident. And perhaps the Heavenly Flower Theater Troupe, specifically So Gyeoksan, had some kind of deal with them.
He had no evidence linking the two, but circumstances indicated otherwise.
�What kind of deal did they have?�
Pyo-wol thought about his conversation with So Gyeoksan.
So Gyeoksan was obviously under a lot of pressure with a request, which was why he tried to pass the request to Pyo-wol.
�It must have something to do with the box that was brought on the cart.�
There was no such box when Pyo-wol first saw the theater troupe so So Gyeoksan must have brought it here from somewhere else.�
�So Gyeoksan has only been away for a day or so since he left. If he�s planning to return, the maximum distance he can travel is about half a day.�
After organizing his thoughts, Pyo-wol left the inn.
He headed straight to the brothel, which served as one of the Hao clan�s branches.�
If it was a branch of Hao clan, they would be able find out what had happened within half a day�s journey from Runan. JrNovels.com
