Detective K: Secret of the Lost Island Page #2

Your Majesty.

This servant will depart this world

before you. Please...

Stay healthy and strong for

your nation and its subjects.

What are you doing?

Trying to poison yourself?

I brought that back

from my trip to Qing.

It's restorative herbal medicine

that I got for you.

Drink it all in one gulp.

How can I take herbal medicine

as a sinner in exile?

I hear it's really good for men.

It's bitter.

All right... dinner is served.

Now that I got to see you,

and made you dinner

it's time for me to get going.

- Why have you come?

- Since you're asking...

Counterfeit silver

is back in circulation.

The real problem here is that

it's virtually impossible to tell

the fakes apart from the authentic ones.

Probably not if scrutinized

under an ordinary eye like yours.

The answer is often closer

than one believes.

Counterfeit silver is usually

mixed with iron or copper

which is almost one-fifths

lighter in its mass.

If you place a real silver bullion

in place of the counterfeit silver

then the water will

naturally spill over...

But it doesn't, does it?

You think I wouldn't have

tested that already?

What's happened to you in your exile?

This fake is well-made, indeed.

You haven't grasped

the gravity of the situation.

If counterfeit silver leads to

a currency crisis

then it'll affect international trade and

the price of necessities will skyrocket.

What normally costs one nyang

will cost ten nyangs.

The suffering of the poor

will increase by two, no tenfold.

It's ridiculous that someone as smart as you

are sitting around, just wasting away!

Are you suggesting that I break the law?

This islet is inhabited by Kim Min,

who is six months into his exile.

I got it, so let's just get going.

But we're supposed to keep a close eye

to prevent them from running away.

He's right there.

Over there.

So let's go.

But we should go and check anyway.

What the...

All right. We'll check then.

You're Lord Kim, aren't you?

Yes, I am!

He says it's him.

My lord?

My lord?

My lord!

My lord!

Who's there?

Glow in the dark?

In any case, you're insane enough

doing all these strange things yourself.

Human bones?

Luminous pigments can be obtained

from animal bones.

You shouldn't disturb the graves

lest you want do deal with ghosts.

What are you doing?

You have to do this in order to

prevent getting possessed by a spirit.

Sea water is the same thing as salt.

There's no such thing as ghosts...

How can a man believe

in something like that?

I just had the strangest dream.

Still dreaming, I see.

I had a very restful sleep...

She's not a ghost.

She's human.

She swam across the ocean

in order to meet you.
