Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty And Masked Beast Chapter 287 - Thousands Of Clues

The guard's leader walked over to the wall which the arrow touched and noticed that a mark was made on top of it. Extending his hand towards it, he touched the surface of the wall, and a burn mark was made on top of it.

"This was made by a fire user," the guard's leader vocalised, "If I have to permission on it, Master Minhyun, I would want to check on all the fire user's inside the mansion."

"I am not the Leader, and it would be better to ask the King's opinion on such a thing," Minhyun vocalised, "As for the Maid who informed you about it, send her to my office later on."

Nodding, the guard's leader bowed at Minhyun and voiced out, "Yes, Master Minhyun, I will be doing so. Was there anything more that I will be needing to do?"

"Send the final results of the test to me," Minhyun vocalised.

With that, Han Minhyun turned his back on the guards, and while he walked forward, Soohyun followed behind him.

Soohyun could sense that Minhyun was in deep thoughts in that moment, and she wondered about what he was thinking about in that moment. It was not as if he was only appearing to be grim; he felt the same way about it as well.

After the two of them were walking towards their room, Lee Soohyun looked at the direction of Minhyun and asked, "Why did you ask the guards on which leader he was under?"

Soohyun a.s.sumed that Minhyun had an intention behind asking that guard the question, and even after thinking about it for a long time, she could not find herself being close to the reason.

"The guards rarely leave their position; they are forbidden from doing so until or unless the situation is too serious. Therefore, seeing how those guards ran towards us just by simply hearing the words of a mere maid is suspicious. Moreover, when we looked around, there was no one around us," Minhyun vocalised.

After hearing those words from Minhyun, she understood his point and voiced out, "Right, that makes sense. I guess that's why you have told him to send that maid to you. They mentioned how they are under Seo Taemin. Does that mean he is the one behind it?"

"No, that can't be said," Minhyun stated, "It could be that those guards were sent in order to make us suspicious on Taemin. Then again, it also could be that they were sent by Taemin with him thinking that we will be concluding this as him being framed.

 Hw.a.n.g Minjae is someone who uses fire, and with this, the suspicion will be falling on to him. By now, everyone believes that one of the Leaders is definitely behind the recent attacks."

"So basically, whoever the traitor is, he is trying to put the blame upon Hw.a.n.g Minjae?" Soohyun questioned.

"That can not be confirmed, but I know that Hw.a.n.g Minjae would not be behind it. Although it is not right to put emotions into dealing with something, this is something I am sure about," Minhyun vocalised.

Soohyun now understood why Minhyun was reluctant to let the word about this attack spread. Everyone will be putting the blame on Hw.a.n.g Minjae after this, and Minhyun did not want that.

"Making us doubt both Seo Taemin and Hw.a.n.g Minjae at the same time, this person is really smart and trying to mind games with us," Soohyun vocalised.

"Whoever the person is, he will be trying to confuse us more in the future, and that's why, before taking a decision, talk to me about it. A trap is laid down before us, and we have to take careful step in order to not fall in it," Minhyun vocalised to which she had nodded.

Walking out of her room, Soohyun went through the corridors of the palace. Recalling about Han Minhyun's words, she avoided going through the secluded areas and stayed closer to where the guards were stationed.

This entire situation was a puzzle, and thinking hard, Soohyun tried t0 think for a solution out of this. Pursing both of her lips together, she attempted to figure out the puzzle. 

"Moon Jiwoo, isn't that you?"

Soohyun heard someone mention her name, and raising her head, she looked at her left. A man stood before her, whom she recognized to be Seo Taemin. 

He was not someone Soohyun was acquainted with or knew personally. She remembered Han Minhyun's words on how the man in front of her was a big suspect and about his guards that were sent to check after the situation.

According to Han Minhyun, Seo Taemin was really close to his parents and one of those rare people who knew the entire story. Taemin treated Minhyun's father like a brother and was devasted by how things turned out to be in the end.

He held hatred towards Sungmin for killing Minhyun's family and now manipulating Minhyun. Lee Soohyun could understand his anger due to how unfair things were to him and his thirst for revenge.

It did seem likely for him to join up with the Blue Clan in order to get justice for in this way, he would not be able to cause harm to Han Sungmin.

However, in this, one thing that did not make sense to Lee Soohyun was why would he want to attack Han Minhyun. Minhyun was the son of someone he took to be his brother, and it did not seem right for him to kill someone like that. 

Then again, none of the attempts made seemed potentially life-threatening to Han Minhyun, and earlier outside, the attack was directed at her.

The more Soohyun thought about it, the more tangled up her thoughts became, and she found herself being in the place she first started at. 

In the movies, such situations were easily figured out by the protagonist and thousands of clues were left behind. But it was a completely different situation in actual life.
