Side Story Episode 16. Night train trip (1)
As expected, Doheon was punctual.
“There was a lot to touch upon.”
Doheon’s expression showed no signs of tension as he pointed at the front door with his chin.
“Let’s go.”
Jeon-oh, who was quietly glaring at Do-heon, called Jo Won.
Jo Won took out a thick blue rope from his waist.
It was called Cheonggwiseung (靑鬼繩) and was an object used to capture demons in the criminal court. The rope itself has the ability to suppress demon energy, so in case of emergency, the demon’s rampage could be minimized as much as possible.
“Please hold out both hands.”
Doheon shook his head.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Jeon-oh’s face distorted.
“Are you going to refuse the parish’s procedures?”
“Weren’t you trying to cross-examine me? “You’re going to go so far as to arrest a person like that as a Cheonggwi-seung?”
“You are like a half-sinner. Just one… … .”
“Did you say it was the morning before?”
Doheon smiled.
With cold eyes and only the corners of his mouth moving, it was a cruel smile that would make anyone who saw it feel their heart tremble.
“Do you really think that I am a great person who will refuse orders from superiors and just run away?”
Jeon-o’s fist gained strength. Do-heon’s look in his eyes was trying to discourage him, but he resisted with all his might.
“we are… … .”
“Are you going to bundle up? sincerely?”
“… … .”
“Very interesting.”
Doheon stretched out his arms.
“I believe you can handle it.”
Jeon-o’s eyes trembled with humiliation and fear.
Although he was boastful thanks to the power of Hyeongbeopdang, he could not ignore the value of Gwangma Daeju’s name.
The reason he came in the first place was because of the value of Gwangma Daeju’s name. Even in the world’s penal court, it was bound to be a burden to send an inexperienced leader to arrest a major lord-level figure in front of the inner demons.
Lord Gwangma Do-heon is famous for his gentle nature not only among the six great Lords but also among the inner-level executive-level demons.
The person who could break the momentum at this time was the leader of the work, so he came personally, but it took great courage on Jeon-oh’s part to decide and capture Do-heon, who came out so violently.
Jeon-o looked at Do-heon for a long time and spoke in a tone of disdain.
“I will trust in your honor, my lord.”
Doheon answered cheerfully.
“Thank you for knowing that.”
Jeon Oh turned around nervously.
“let’s go!”
Just like that, Doheon left Gwangmagak surrounded by a group of members of the Penal Court.
Before going through the gate, he glanced back.
The shaking eyes were full of surprise and worry that could not be hidden.
* * *
Many demons watched Doheon crossing the inner city and heading toward the criminal court.
But their mouths were tightly shut. This was because if I said something meaningless, I might be caught in the eyes of the criminal justice party members.
Doheon saw that and sighed inwardly.
‘It’s not a very nice thing to see, but… … .’
I can’t believe that rolling their eyes as if they were dead is an expression of the champions, who have made a name for themselves as fear in the midfield.
Today’s demons are just concerned about being seen by their superiors or not being noticed for no reason.
Mine are also people. This is something that can be taken for granted in the world where people live.
However, seeing the sight of no one making eye contact with the criminal law party members, Doheon could not help but sigh.
‘Where have all of us, who were so brave in the past, gone?’
The road to the penal court was quite long.
Considering just the distance, it wasn’t that long, but Jeon-o was deliberately going back. It was to show off to all the inner city residents the sight of Doheon surrounded by members of the Criminal Law Party.
It was a very petty thing to do, but Doheon didn’t show it and just walked with them in silence.
When they arrived at the criminal court, an hour had passed since they left Gwangmagak.
I’m sorry.
The door to the interrogation room opened.
Doheon closed his eyes and did not even turn his head.
Jump and jump.
A disciplined gait.
The person standing across from Do-heon with a cold air was Hang-hoe, a top-ranking investigator at the criminal court.
widely!
A simple yet heartless sound rang out.
Hanghoe, who had thrown the papers on the iron table, slowly sat down in his chair.
Only then did Doheon’s eyes slowly open.
Hang Hoe revealed his identity in a stern voice.
“It is said to be a first-class investigator from the criminal court.”
It was quite an overbearing tone.
But it wasn’t particularly rude. In front of those entering the interrogation room, Hanghoe always showed the same appearance.

Not just him, but all the investigators. This was because a proper investigation could not be conducted if the opponent was overwhelmed.
“Before I cross-examine you, I will first verify your identity.”
Hanghoe, who was shuffling through documents, stopped at some point.
“Are you Do-heon, the head of Shin Education University and Gwangma University?”
Doheon nodded.
Hanghoe’s eyes narrowed.
“Answer the question directly. “Your name is Doheon, is that correct?”
“That’s right.”
“I am thirty-seven years old this year. He became a Christian at the age of 13 and entered the Oejeon Hyangmadang (向魔堂). Afterwards, at the age of 18, he joined the Demon Sword Order and performed a total of 27 times in suburban battles.”
“… … .”
“Promoted to leader of the Ghost Swordsman at the age of 20. At the age of 23, he was promoted to Vice Commander of the Noble Swordsman. Promoted to head of the Gwigeomdan at the age of twenty-seven. Afterwards, in recognition of his abilities, at the age of twenty-eight he enlisted in the Naeseongjeon (former) Yukdae Junghyeolma Dae (血魔隊).”
“… … .”
“At the Battle of Nokgeommun (綠劍門) in Fujian, he cut off the head of the division commander and was promoted to the rank of Captain Sam of the Gwangma Dae. Afterwards, he participated in the tracking team of the Hyeopgeomshinjang (俠劍神掌), eliminated two of the target’s disciples and the target Hyeopgeomshinjang, and was promoted to lieutenant of the Gwangmadae at the age of 32.”
“… … .”
“Afterwards, at the age of 35, he was promoted to Gwangma Daeju. Is that right?”
“That’s right.”
“No family ties. Is that right?”
“That’s right.”
Hanghoe, who was quietly looking at the documents, looked at Doheon with his clasped fingers.
“Do you know what you were summoned for?”
“Have you finished checking?”
“Answer the question. what brings you here… … .”
“When you’re done, bring the head of the family.”
Hang Hui’s eyes became harsh.
“If no answers other than the questions are given, an additional charge of obstruction of cooperation with the investigation will be added. I’ll ask again. what… … .”
“Stop talking nonsense… … .”
hook!
Doheon’s cool eyes pierced directly into Hanghoe’s eyes.
“Bring the head of the family. “You must have wanted to see me.”
Hang Hoe glared at Do Heon without saying a word.
Doheon also did not withdraw his gaze. As time passed, his eyes became cold, not to mention cold.
How much time has passed like that?
Xiang Hui lowered his head.
“Additional charge of obstruction of cooperation with investigation.”
Grumble.
Hanghoe pushed the chair and stood up, holding a bundle of documents.
His face was slightly pale. Even though the demon energy was blocked, Doheon’s eyes were not the kind that could easily be endured.
If it weren’t for my pride as an investigator and my numerous experiences, my entire body would have already been drenched in cold sweat.
Doheon closed his eyes again.
Hanghoe growled.
“Even the six great lords of the world will have to relax their shoulders a bit here. “Even people of the inner city’s Wonju level cannot easily leave here.”
Doheon still didn’t say anything.
A slight twitch occurred around Hang Hui’s eyes. Doheon’s appearance without any tension touched his heart.
But that too for a while.
thud!
The sound of the door closing nervously was particularly loud.
Doheon, who stayed in that position for a while, slowly opened his eyes.
“It’s such a hard work for people.”
Half a day passed like that.
Even as that time passed, Doheon did not drink even a sip of water. He didn’t even change his posture. His motionless appearance seemed sublime, like a rock that had endured for a thousand years.
and.
Grumble.
A door that opens slowly.
Flash!
Doheon’s eyes opened.
“Oh my! “It’s been a while since this happened.”
The person who walked to the seat where Hanghoe was sitting with a sly tone was a middle-aged man of medium height who looked a little older than Doheon.
She was dressed in gorgeous red silk clothes and had gold bracelets on her wrists. Not a single strand of her beautifully curled hair was disheveled, and it had quite a strong scent, as if she had carried it in her sachet.
It was truly a splendid sight. It did not look at all suitable for a bloody interrogation room.
“I never thought I would see the Great Lord of the World in a place like this. Hehehe, isn’t it something that people will live to see for a long time?”
A slightly windy voice sounds surprisingly kind.
Doheon smiled faintly.
“How have you been?”
“I’m doing well. After becoming the head of the family, I was a bit busy being called here and there. “I wonder if this is the taste of success.”
A look of loud laughter.
Despite his relaxed voice, his appearance and behavior were nothing like that of a wealthy person. At least it seemed that way in Doheon’s eyes.
‘It’s still the same.’
Other than public affairs of the head of criminal law.
He was the parachute greeting I don’t know where he came from. In fact, not many people knew when government officials began to take charge of affairs within the church.
However, it was quite famous in inner city circles that he joined the Criminal Justice Party not long after and was promoted from a member of the party to an investigator in three months, and then to a leader within a year.
And three years.
It took only three years to go from leader to deputy head. What’s even more surprising is that it only took two years for him to become the head of the family from deputy head.
It was Gongmu-oe who took over the top position of the Criminal Law Party six years and three months after joining the party. Doheon had no way of knowing how he was able to achieve such rapid promotion.
I can only guess that all kinds of corruption occurred in the process.
“How is the air in the interrogation room?”
The way he snorted outside of official duties was uncharacteristically frivolous for the head of the Penal Court.
“Not so good, is it? I’m paying attention to the ventilation, but it’s still stuffy. “I told you to clean well, but it doesn’t seem to work that well.”
“Are you planning on arresting me?”
“Yes?”
Gongmuoe shrugged his shoulders.
“You’re trying to arrest me? There was a reporter and there was an investigation. “It turns out that I committed a crime in the process, so I’m here.”
“I guess so.”
“Do you really think that I deliberately created an innocent crime and brought it here?”
Outside of official duties, his expression became gloomy as if he were showing off.
“This person really makes me sad when he thinks like that. “No matter how bad our relationship is compared to others, how can we treat the Great Lord of the World so harshly?”
The tone of speech, facial expressions, and behavior were all exaggerated.
Outside of official duties, I was thoroughly enjoying the current situation. Even though I could have come sooner, I deliberately came late to make my current feeling of superiority several times sweeter.
Doheon knew that well. If he was asked to do it, it would be so base that he wouldn’t be able to wake up from death, but he was sick of seeing many demons show their ugly side like this.
“Anyway, you were a bit harsh. “My pride was hurt, so I ignored the instructions from the parish and even confronted the investigator.”
Gongmuoe sighed deeply.
“They say it’s a vicious place that commits crimes without a parish, but the crimes you committed are very clear during the investigation. Even Gwangma Daeju can’t pretend that he didn’t commit such a crime… … .”
“I would like to wait until you can enjoy it all, but there are circumstances here as well. “I think we should get to the point now.”
“… … “Oh my god?”
Outside of official duties, his eyes were shiny like those of a snake.
“This is another unexpected reaction. It’s so refreshing. “I never imagined that he would show such confidence in his captured body.”
“I didn’t know I could be this confident.”
“I don’t know what it means?”
Doheon spoke directly.
“Let me bury all my sins here.”
The corners of people’s mouths went up.
“Isn’t the confidence so overpowering that it overflows?”
“exactly?”
“A cat may think of a mouse, but the mouse never makes demands of the cat.”
“I heard that cats only catch and eat mice. “You eat fish and you eat sparrows.”
Gongmuoe frowned.
It was the first honest reaction I had seen since entering the interrogation room.
“Jura… … .”
“… … .”
“Somehow, my intuition tells me that there will be a lot of surprises today.”
“Good to see.”
“Hey, have you reached a good point with your superiors? “If it weren’t for that, you wouldn’t be able to be so brave in front of me.”
“I’m thinking of throwing a rope to one of those higher-ups.”
“… … ?!”
Doheon said with a smile.
“I want to bring Gwangma under criminal law. Do you have any thoughts on how?”
Outside of official duties, my eyes widened.
