Chapter 362: Are You the Cult Leader?
A man holding a large bowl filled with rice, various greens, and cuts of fresh meat was shoveling food into his mouth with chopsticks. His name was Ju Gwal, the owner of a butcher shop. He was eating some of the pork he'd butchered himself after grilling it.
Ju Gwal ate in a rush. Whenever he felt his throat clog up, he washed it down with liquor, and once it went down, he resumed eating rice and meat. Despite the large portion, the food was quickly disappearing. When about half of the bowl was gone, a man in dark clothing burst in and said urgently:
"Sir Ju."
Ju Gwal responded with his mouth full.
"Why the rush?"
"Yeompyeong was found with his head cut off."
Ju Gwal set down his chopsticks.
"Who did it?"
"It wasn’t just Yeompyeong. There was a corpse in the middle of the street with the entire upper body missing. Based on the records, we think it was Jeong Sam."
Ju Gwal stared at the messenger.
"Jeong Sam? No upper body?"
"Yes. The ground was littered with mangled remains. Looked like he was completely smashed. The heavy rain washed a lot of it away, so only the lower half remained. Also, Yeompyeong’s ears had been cleanly sliced off."
