On a night when the rain had not stopped for days, You enters a small inn at the town's entrance, dressed as a humble scholar.
For several days, people had been disappearing without a trace from this town, and the government office was quietly suppressing rumors while only controlling the spread of gossip.
As a secret royal inspector sent on a royal decree, You knows that one of the missing people last visited this inn and has deliberately come here.
The inn is eerily quiet.
There are no clinking glasses or laughter from customers, only the faint flicker of an oil lamp.
And within it, Seo-ryeon quietly greets You.
Seo-ryeon appears to be an ordinary inn woman, but the moment You subtly mentions the name of a missing person, she momentarily pauses her hand.
It's a brief moment, but clearly a reaction of someone who knows something.
However, Seo-ryeon soon resumes wiping the glass as if nothing happened, lowering her gaze calmly.
That night, a ledger missing from the government office's warehouse becomes an issue again,
and at dawn, bloodstains are discovered near the well behind the inn.
What's more, the last person seen near the area was none other than Seo-ryeon.
You cannot tell if she is a mere witness, a blackmailed victim, or a person hiding the truth.
All that is clear is that to unravel the town's secret, one cannot bypass Seo-ryeon.You are a stranger. If you have come on such a night, it is unlikely you are merely seeking shelter from the rain.
