Spear Warriors - Chapter 326

Episode 326: Twelve Angry People (3)

The yellow star was swallowing the red star.

Jang Che-gyeom called another witness.

“I have to meet the next witness.”

Then, a protester came into the conference room.

Unlike the servants who had come in before, she did not look intimidated at all.

I straightened my back and raised my eyes even wider.

It seemed like a very confident attitude.

“It is called the Golden Chorong (金剿朧), the monument to Gwigok Hakdang.”

“… … .”

Jang Che-gyeom’s eyes turn to the golden lantern.

In front of that poisonous snake-like gaze, the golden lantern finally flinches and averts its gaze.

Jang Che-gyeom asked in a hoarse voice that sounded like an animal crying.

“You said you heard Hashipuk’s shout from the same place where the lovebird screamed before it died. Is that correct?”

“yes. “I heard it with both ears.”

“False accusations are serious crimes and are subject to severe punishment. “You also know this, right?”

“… … yes.”

“good night.”

Jang Che-gyeom opened a document next to him and continued speaking.

“You and the dead lovebird shared a room.”

“That’s right.”

“Were you very close?”

“yes? Yes, it is.”

“How did we become friends?”

“Lovebird often asked me to ghostwrite her letters home. Lovebird didn’t know how to read and write. That’s how she became close.”

“good night. “Then write here, ‘We were very close.’”

“… … ?”

Jang Che-gyeom pushed the paper, pencil and ink in front of the golden lantern.

Geum Cho-rong tilted his head, but picked up his brush and wrote letters on the paper.

Although it was quite crooked, the writing was reasonably legible.

-We were very close.

When the ink on the paper dried, Jang Che-gyeom nodded.

“good. “Then you know what this is, right?”

“… … !”

What Jang Che-gyeom took out in front of the golden lantern was a crumpled wad of paper.

Upon seeing this, Geum Cho-rong’s face instantly turned pale.

Geomwoocho asked with a puzzled expression.

“What is that?”

“… … .”

Instead of answering, Jang Che-gyeom said something else.

“Before coming here, I took a look around the lodgings that witness Geum Cho-rong used. Coincidentally, the building right next to that lodging was the lodging where suspect Ha Sip-wook lived. “It was just facing one big road.”

“What does that mean? “Please speak calmly.”

“This means that this incident was caused by a political relationship.”

“Is there anyone who doesn’t know that?”

“What I meant was not a one-on-one love affair, but a love triangle involving at least three people.”

“… … !”

The expressions of Geomwoocho and other judges turned blank.

“… … “On what basis are you making such a claim?”

“This is the letter.”

Jang Che-gyeom unfolded a neatly folded wad of paper.

“… … !”

The judges’ eyes widened.

Inside the paper was written the contents of Geumchorong’s letter to Hashipuk.

-When I first saw you crossing the road and chopping firewood, my heart grew red like a ripe apple… …

All of them were confessions of earnest love and affection.

Geomwoocho tilted his head.

“After comparing the handwriting, I see that this was indeed written by Geum Cho-rong. “Where did you find this?”

“In the pile of trash from Hashipuk’s dormitory.”

“No, how did you deliver this letter? The servants’ quarters must be far away… … .”

“The paper would have been folded into a bird shape and sent out on the wind. If you fold it along the thick crumpled lines, you can see that it has a new shape like this.”

“Huh… … How could servants from two different camps be so close? It’s a love triangle… … “I just don’t understand.”

“After investigating, I heard that there are more cases than expected between the servants of the Murim League and the Guigok School that secretly become angry during each royal banquet. Since they usually live a confined life, there are few opportunities to meet new men and women. Moreover, since they are mainly selected for those with a neat appearance, it is inevitable that they will often feel good about each other.”

Jang Che-gyeom took out a portrait from his arms.

“There may be people who don’t know, so I’ll attach a portrait. “This depicts the disfigurement of the suspect, Ha Sip-wook.”

A young face can still be seen in the portrait.

Although he was young, he had dark eyebrows, big eyes, chubby cheeks, and a sharp nose, so he could easily be called a handsome boy.

“After investigating, I found out that not only the maids at Deungcheon Academy, but most of the maids at Gwigok Academy knew about Hashipuk. It is said that he was famous for being pretty. “It’s not strange to be involved in sexual relationships with multiple women.”

“… … Umm. “I see.”

Geomwoocho nodded while looking at the portrait.

Heuknoya grinned and tapped Geomwoocho’s side.

“why. “Is the sword instructor also a little interested?”

“oh! What are you saying! Objectively, I was jealous because I thought it would make me more popular with women! “I am not interested in sodomy!”

The atmosphere flows strangely.

Jang Che-gyeom said after putting down the portrait.

“In other words, Geum Cho-rong was in an affair with Ha Sip-wook. As everyone knows, Ha Sip-wook was having a secret affair with a dead lovebird. And the lovebird was close to the golden lantern. In this situation, the golden lantern, full of energy, may give overly subjective testimony… … .”

“No! I’m not jealous no matter who that kid meets! I never told a lie… … !”

Geum Cho-rong got angry and shouted, but in front of Jang Che-gyeom’s continued gaze, she flinched and kept her mouth shut.

At that time, Geomwoocho stepped forward.

“Now, I think the atmosphere is getting too heated. After listening to it, I realized that what the officer said was just speculation without any clear evidence. Also, we can’t just dismiss the golden lantern as lying.”

“… … .”

Geum Cho-rong snorts while looking at Jang Che-gyeom, as if asking him to look at it.

at that time. Jang Che-gyeom spoke dryly, but in a cold voice.

“I didn’t say what you said was a lie. “I said it could be too subjective.”

“… … .”

“A closer investigation will be conducted in the future. “If you framed an innocent person and caused their death, you must pay the appropriate price.”

“… … .”

Zhang Cheqian’s gaze stretches out like a spear and penetrates the golden lantern’s eyes.

Creepy-

The golden lantern’s eyes are bright red.

My arms and legs were shaking, and tears and saliva came out spontaneously.

Then, something no one expected happened.

“Joe, Joy, Joe, sin, sorry…” … Sorry, sorry… … .”

What are you seeing?

She suddenly slumped down in her seat.

“sorry. “Actually, I didn’t hear it very well.”

“what?”

Geomwoocho raised his eyes and asked.

Then Geum Cho-rong fell to the floor, crying.

“Actually, I didn’t hear it right! “I heard something, but I’m not sure if it was the sound of a wild animal or a man yelling!”

“What are you saying now! “I heard you heard a lovebird scream!”

“That was actually a lie too! When she heard that the lovebird had died around midnight, she suddenly thought… … .”

Heuk Noya clicked his tongue after hearing Geum Cho-rong’s words.

“Then why did you frame Ha Sip-wook? “Because I don’t accept your feelings?”

“Yeah… … Anyone can see that I am prettier than Lovebird… … The stupid bastard has no eyes for women… … Aeng-Aengi was a girl with a reputation for being promiscuous in her relationships with men… … There were a lot of rumors about this and that with Instructor Jang… … Heehee!?”

Golden Lantern glanced at Zhang Cheqian and immediately dropped his gaze.

“Ah, anyway. I felt embarrassed that Sipwook was possessed by a monster-like bitch and pushed me away. Ha, ha, but bur, I just wanted to be punished, I didn’t want to die. I’m not that vicious a bitch to want to do that. It’s real! Please believe me!”

She knelt down and started rubbing her palms together.

It seemed like he was just beginning to realize the weight of what he had done.

Zhang Cheqian stood in front of the golden lantern and spoke.

“Whether you kill with a sword or with your tongue, the sin is the same.”

The crime of false accusation in today’s era is serious.

If you file a false accusation, you will receive back the exact amount of sentence you intended to receive.

The golden lantern was dragged away by the warriors of the Sadōryun.

Although he will not be sentenced to death due to extenuating circumstances for revealing the truth at the end, he will probably be punished quite severely for perjury.

Geomwoocho muttered as he looked at it.

“… … “Then all the evidence and witnesses have disappeared.”

The reliability of the blind servant’s testimony was questioned.

It was confirmed that Sibi’s testimony, blinded by jealousy, was false.

The possibility was raised that the blood on the clothes was also insignificant.

In the end, the possibility that Ha Sip-wook is a real person has increased slightly.

at that time.

“Aren’t you focusing too much on what Instructor Jang says?”

Slut Yeonhwa stepped forward.

“I still believe that Ha Sip-wook is the culprit. You know that the evidence that has been released so far is not clear, but that does not prove that Ha Sip-wook is innocent, right? I don’t know why we have to presume him to be innocent. There is no such principle. “Isn’t it natural to catch even the smallest thing?”

She brightened her eyes at Zhang Cheqian.

“I think we shouldn’t let go of ten thieves for the sake of one wronged person. If you miss ten thieves just to relieve one person of injustice, what about the ten people who are wronged as a result? The sacrifice of cows for the greater good is the driving force behind the development of history. “Even if there are some things that are a little unclear, I think Ha Sip-wook should be punished and sentenced to death.”

Eleven judges look at Zhang Cheqian.

Slut Yeonhwa continued speaking with a bright smile on her face.

“But our instructor will vote for reservation again, and then this debate will never end. “Unless all eleven of us bend our opinions to Instructor Jang’s stubbornness.”

It’s a clever way of speaking.

She was speaking as if Jang Che-gyeom was interfering with the progress of the discussion.

If it were an ordinary person, they would change their opinions due to pressure.

At that time, Jang Che-gyeom answered.

“Then I will abstain just this time, so you can vote on your own.”

“… … !”

At those words, Yeonhwa Slut’s eyes widen.

Geomwoocho said.

“Are you okay? “I will still vote for the death penalty.”

“do whatever you want. “If there are 11 votes for the death penalty, I will follow that opinion.”

When Jang Che-gyeom took a step back, voting resumed.

“… … .”

Gu Ye-rim was looking at Zhang Che-gyeom’s back with a complicated mind.

What is this sadness and desperation that one feels when he leaves the venue?

Since when had she been leaning on him?

Regardless of her complicated feelings, the atmosphere in the courtroom was tense.

Soon, Geomwoocho gathered the eleven ballots in one place and began to spread them out.

“Death.”

The first ballot is, of course, a death sentence.

“Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death… … .”

The same results followed one after another.

Gu Ye-rim closed his eyes tightly and broke into a cold sweat.

Now that Jang Che-gyeom is out, the result is clear.

There will be unanimity, and an unexpected death sentence will be carried out.

Gu Ye-rim had already decided what to do in such a case.

Wow… …

She tightly gripped the batting stick that had been handed down to her to do good deeds.

Right then.

Geomwoocho’s voice trembled slightly.

“… … Yu (留).”

The eleventh table that was finally opened.

Because it was announcing opposition to the death penalty.
