Yonhap learns that the censor has asked Yonhap to stop the investigation into the death of his second cousin. Yonhap asks the censor why he is there, and Yonhap tells him that the chief censor asked him to do so. The chief censor is trying to protect his reputation, Yonhap says, and if they find out the identity of the murderer, the case will escalate. He tells Yonhap that two men have been killed, and that the murderer may have strolled around the marketplace. The censor asks Yonhap why he wants to punish a criminal for his honor and power, and the censor says that he wants the murderer to know that the king would not want him to serve him if he hid his sins. The officer says that they cannot find any evidence at the censors house, but that they can go to the mistress's house to look for evidence
