The second episode of a killer's story.
#August 16, 1997
People are crowding in front of a detached house.
Min-seok's mother: Hey guys, where are you? Come here, go away, you bad guys!!!
Kim Young-chul: Mother...Xiumin may not be suicidal right now. We're going to reveal that for you.Please be calm and rational.
Min-seok's mother: I didn't even go out of the house, but after meeting you guys yesterday, he hung himself up. Are you still police? Do you want me to stop you from killing people? You murderers!!!Make this innocent man a suspect and save my son right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Min-seok's mother was emotional, and Min-seok's father was just smoking without saying anything.
Then Jin-cheol and Myung-jin arrived.
Park Myung-jin: Oh...I don't think I should get out of the car. What should I do?
Choi Jin-cheol: Do you call it a horse? The note left at the bottom must be secured by us, but it may be a ding message.
Park Myung-jin: Phew...So you're gonna tell her she's a suspect and get out of here?
Choi Jin-cheol: What? What's wrong with your way of speaking? Do you think it's because of me that Minseok died?
Park Myung-jin: Not really, but I don't think we needed to summon him as a suspect.
Choi Jin-cheol: So do you think Min-seok's death was suicide? I don't think so at all. I'm sure the killer knew he was in contact with the police and killed him. Maybe he had to meet the witness first. The problem was that he was a student, so he was shocked and left it unattended. You went first a few times, but you didn't meet him.
Park Myung-jin: Yes..You were too stubborn. My parents...
Choi Jin-cheol: Anyway, let's go first. Nothing changes here just because it's embarrassing.
Jin-cheol and Myung-jin crossed the police line and went in front of their mother.
Min-seok's mother: What are you doing? How many guys are coming in and trying to get in or what?
Choi Jin-cheol: I will say without entering my mother. I have a few questions. Why didn't you call an ambulance when Minseok hung himself? Shouldn't we call an ambulance first? And I heard that Minseok left a letter. What is the content of the letter? Isn't your mother admitting that this isn't a suicide if you called the police? We're not here to make it hard for you. I'm here to help you. We're here to find out what your mother was thinking about calling us.

Min-seok's mother sobbed after hearing Jin-cheol's words.
Min-seok's mother, who had been crying for a while, took out a piece of paper without saying anything.
Jin-cheol, who received the note, said with a tear in his eyes.
Choi Jin-cheol: This...What is this...What does that mean? Did we think wrong from the beginning?
Park Myung-jin: What's wrong with you, Sergeant Choi? What do you want to win?
Kim Young-chul: What is it? Hand it over to me please.
The contents of the letter were shocking.
LOL. I'm sorry.^^
Min-seok's mother, who was sobbing, speaks.
Minseok's mother: My son...It's never going to happen, but...I think the detective class would say that Minseok is the culprit if they read this letter.So I called the police from work. I tried to hide the fact that there was a letter, but as soon as the police on patrol came in, I couldn't see it. I thought that if you tell us that the content is written, we can't show it to you.I'm sorry...But we still don't think Minseok is the culprit. I'm adding a little bit because you might not understand it. Your mother called the police to protest, and she thought she wouldn't break this and that.
Choi Jin-cheol: ...First of all, I think we need to see Min-seok's body.
Jin-cheol's mother and father passed by and entered the house, followed by Young-cheol and Myung-jin.
Park Myung-jin: Inspector Choi... Was Minseok really the culprit?
Choi Jin-cheol: I'm so complicated right now that my head is about to explode, so check the condition of the room first because it's a body, call all the police officers who were patrolling here regardless of the time, and find out the estimated time of death and the cause of death and recover the body right away. I smelled the reporters. First of all, he says he can't say anything, and he's gonna crack down on the contents of the letter.
Kim Young-cheol: Yes.
Myung-jin is just spacing out without answering.
On the same night, Jin-cheol, Yeong-cheol, Myung-jin, and five police officers gathered in one room.
Choi Jin-cheol: I'm sure you all know why we're here. Min-seok's estimated death time is 5 a.m. Tell me the time of the patrol money and everyone. It's a team of two, so I think you can just say it one by one.
Constable Lee Jae-gyu: We were in a group from 12:00 to 2:00. Chief Min Kyung and I were at the police box after that.
Constable Kim Tae-sik: We're at 2 to 4 o'clock. Jeong Gyeong-wi and I were also at the police box behind it.
Constable Kim Young-hoon: I... Constable Jeong Soon-hee is off-duty, so I'm going to go on patrol alone at 4 o'clock, but Myung-jin came and said he would go out instead. Then Myung-jin came back around 6 o'clock and I went out to patrol, although it's not the original patrol time. But I got a radio call. Minseok told me to go to the student's house and I saw a note. You didn't show me the content.
Choi Jin-cheol: What? What are you talking about? Myungjin, what are you talking about? Did you go on patrol?
Park Myung-jin: Oh...I'm actually worried about Minseok.Younghoon is also my colleague, so he looked tired, so I gave him back.I'm sorry...
CHOI JIN CHUL: You gotta report, man. Have you ever seen anything weird or suspicious about a report?
Everyone shook their heads.
Choi Jin-cheol: Okay. Thank you for your cooperation.
Jin-cheol, Young-cheol, and Myung-jin remained after everyone left.
Jin-chul said, smoking.
Choi Jin-cheol: Do you think Min-seok's death was suicide?
Kim Young-chul: I don't want to think that what you showed me when you talked to me was false. This is definitely a murder.
Choi Jin-cheol: What about the note? How are you going to explain the jokji?
Kim Young-chul: That could be what the criminal put...
Choi Jin-cheol: Assuming what you said, why didn't the patrol money see it? Minseok is a man, too. Wouldn't he have resisted? So you broke into that detached house, killed a student, and left a note? Your parents didn't wake up?Of course, there's a possibility, but do you think our superiors want us to do that? As soon as Min-seok says a student is killed, he becomes an incompetent cop or an incompetent cop who fails to protect witnesses. Do you think we'll be okay then? Besides, you even had a face-to-face meeting the day before. I hope it's not suicide either. But the situation is getting more and more like that. But the question is whether Choi Soo-kyung came to Seoul himself or died in Namyangju. If he died in Namyangju, the probability of Min-seok being the culprit is definitely reduced. We need to find the evidence and evidence that Min-seok is not the culprit. Oh, wasn't there any acquaintances of the victim who did something about Japan? What happened to him? I heard you contacted Myungjin.
Park Myung-jin: Oh...Yes, I got a call that it will probably arrive early this morning. I was going to report it to you later because I was supposed to meet you tomorrow.
Choi Jin-cheol: Really? Good. Then set up tomorrow's appointment and report it in the morning.
Park Myung-jin: Yes
#August 17, 1997
in front of the National Police Agency
Park Myung-jin: Inspector Choi just called and asked me to come home at 11 o'clock.
Choi Jin-cheol: Home? Why is it a house?
Park Myung-jin: He wants me to come home because he has some things to do at home.
Choi Jin-cheol: Really? Then let's get going.
Park Myung-jin: That's...I'm the only one who wants to come, but many people don't want to meet me.
Choi Jin-cheol: What? Take the tape recorder and record everything.
Park Myung-jin: Yes, I'll be back.
Choi Jin-cheol: Yeah.
While Myung-jin goes to pick up the car, Jin-cheol thinks for a moment and then blocks Myung-jin from trying to get in the car.
Choi Jin-cheol: Myung-jin, I'm a kiln.
Park Myung-jin: Yes? I've already told you I'm coming.
Choi Jin-cheol: You don't know who you are because you haven't seen your face anyway. You can just say that you have a cold.
Park Myung-jin: Well...If that's the case with Sergeant Choi, then do it.
Choi Jin-cheol: Okay, then tell me the name and address of the reference person. The phone number and
Park Myung-jin: Oh! His name is Jung Moon Young. Here is his address and phone number.
Myungjin hands over the notepad.
Choi Jin-cheol: Ansan? It's a long way off. Anyway, go.bad luck
Park Myung-jin: Yes, go ahead.
At around 11 o'clock on the same day, Jin-cheol feels that it will be a little late to go on his first trip, so he runs on the highway and calls the reference person.
Slurping, slurping, slurping.
Jung Moon-young: Hello?
Choi Jin-cheol: Oh...May I speak to Jung Moon-young?
Jung Moon-young: Yes, but who is this?
Choi Jin-cheol: Oh, I'm the detective I'm meeting today. Since it's my first time on this road, I thought I'd be a little late, so I called you in advance.
Jung Moon-young: Oh...Well, I'm going to work from home all day today, so it's okay to be a little late. Please take your time, but I think your voice is different from yesterday's phone call...
Choi Jin-cheol: Oh... I caught a cold. Haha, I heard that dogs don't catch a summer cold, but since it's my job,
Jung Moon-young: I see. Okay, I'll be waiting at home.
CHOI JINCHUL: Yes, I see. I'll go as fast as I can.
Click!
Choi Jin-cheol: Thankfully, I don't think I have any other appointment.
Around 12 o'clock, Jin-cheol arrived in front of the reference person's apartment.
It was on the second floor, so I was trying to climb the stairs, but the phone rang.
Choi Jin-cheol: Yes, I'm Sergeant Choi Jin-cheol.
Kim Young-chul: Sergeant Choi, you asked me to find out why the people who were at the scene of the incident didn't go that day. I've been looking into the street since this morning, and there's something strange about it.
Choi Jin-cheol: Weirdness? What's up?
Kim Young-chul: There are a total of three paths that lead to the scene of the incident. One is Min-seok's path and the other is the path he saw with his psycho-child giggling. However, the opposite road to which Min-seok came was lined with police lines. Min-seok said that the police came from the morning and told him not to go down the road today, saying that a bomb was installed on the road.
Choi Jin-cheol: What?! The police? So I remember the faces.
Kim Young-chul: He was wearing glasses on his mask. Most of the people thought it was a close call and just moved on. Some people asked me why I wore a mask, but I heard that I caught a cold with my mouth.
Choi Jin-cheol: I didn't expect you to impersonate a police officer.
Jin-chul, smoking, walked toward the front door for a while and sat on the front banch.
Kim Young-chul: I guess he wasn't even suspicious because he was wearing police clothes.
Choi Jin-cheol: Really? All right. First, check if there's any lost police clothes. Check if there's any police officers nearby that day.
Kim Young-chul: Yes!
Jin-chul closed his eyes for a moment as he felt his head getting complicated.
At that time, Jin-cheol frowned and looked in the direction of the smell as he smelled fishy blood in the wind.
A man was walking past him with his hat pressed deep.
Choi Jin-cheol: Why does it smell like blood?! Are you sure?
Jin-cheol rushed up to the reference person's house, trying to deny the thought that was spreading in his mind.
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.
Choi Jin-cheol: Mr. Moon-young! I'm the detective Jung Moon-young was supposed to meet.
Knocking on the door of the house with no answer, Jin-cheol called the reference person's cell phone.
The phone rings in the door. Jin-cheol unwittingly grabbed the door and turned it around, and the door opened.
Choi Jin-cheol: Excuse me, Jung Moon-young.
Moon Young was lying on her back on the desk in the living room.
Jin-cheol breathed a sigh of relief and shook the reference person to wake him up, but he fell weakly and found that there was a big wound in the reference person's stomach, and at first glance, none of the contents were left in the stomach.
Choi Jin-cheol: Shoes...
Jinchul quietly picks up his phone and calls Youngchul.
Choi Jin-cheol: Young-cheol, come here quickly. The address is XXXX, Sangnok-gu, Ansan-si.
Jin-cheol also calls Myung-jin. But Myungjin doesn't answer the phone.
Jin-cheol suddenly penetrates something into his head. They were the words and actions Myung-jin said.
Choi Jin-cheol: Why did Myung-jin try to meet a witness first? By yourself? Myungjin also contacted my acquaintances.That wasn't an instruction...Myungjin didn't like calling Minseok as a suspect.In addition, I didn't even meet Minseok's face.Only Youngchul had an interview.Yes, that way, everything fits. Why didn't anyone know that Minseok had contacted us in the first place? The night before he decided to write a montage, Minseok died. On top of that, Myungjin was on patrol that day. He must be tired from his own work, but crucially...On the day of the incident...The police controlled the floating population...No, let's not doubt it.Someone may be driving Myungjin into a situation where he has no choice but to doubt...Let's think about it.The night before the incident, Young-cheol and Myung-jin drank with me. Young-cheol complained that he didn't feel well until the next day, and poured it out as soon as he arrived at the scene.
While Jin-cheol thought about this and that for a long time, Young-cheol arrived.
Kim Young-chul: What happened, Sergeant Choi? What do you mean the reference you were seeing today is dead?
Choi Jin-cheol: Myung-jin...Where is Myungjin? Myungjin...
Kim Young-chul: Yes? Myungjin said he was going to fight for a while because he was tired, but isn't he answering the phone?
Choi Jin-cheol: Myung-jin...No, it's not...Let's take a look at the scene first.
Kim Young-chul: Yes? You haven't even checked the site?
Choi Jin-cheol: I have so much to think about right now. Please, and I don't want to buy fruit.
Kim Young-chul: Phew...I see.
Young-chul, who was looking around, screams in the bathroom.
Kim Young-chul: Argh! Sergeant Choi, please come here. Hurry up!
Choi Jin-cheol: What is it?
The second victim's organs are wrapped in the bathroom bath and a note is attached to the top of the bath.
