If I make you a prosecutor, are you going to be the president of South Korea?

At this moment, Chief Police Officer Cao Dajun, who was standing nearby, took it upon himself to step forward and reiterated his opinion: "Prosecutor Li, there's no need to look anymore, the murderer must be this illegal immigrant!"

"Look, he's covered in blood. There must be his fingerprints on the victim's body, and these bloody footprints are his too. He's definitely the murderer!"

Lee Seung-hwan slowly stood up, removing his gloves as he said expressionlessly, "You're wrong. These footprints on the ground come from at least three different people, because the footprints are all different sizes."

"The fact that he had the victim's blood on him only means that he had contact with the victim, and as he himself claimed, he wanted to take some money from the victim."

"Furthermore, the knife wounds on the deceased's body are different in size and type from the dagger in the suspect's hand. How can you be sure that he is the murderer and not someone else?"

Hearing Lee Seung-hwan's question.

The police captain was immediately stunned.

He hadn't thought about these details at all.

Logically speaking, a guy who appears at a crime scene covered in blood and flees in panic at the sight of the police is at least 80% likely to be the murderer, if not 100%.

Otherwise, why would he feel guilty?

However, Lee Seung-hwan's analysis was indeed reasonable and well-founded.

Could it be that the murderer really isn't Kim Gu-nam?

He took Jin Jiunan's dagger and placed it on the deceased's chest to compare, and was shocked to find that it really didn't match.

Jin Jiunan's dagger was shorter and thicker.

The wound on the deceased's chest was narrow and flat.

He then carefully examined the rows of bloody footprints and compared them.

It was discovered that each row of footprints was indeed different.

He was immediately embarrassed.

It really is!

He was just showing off his skills in front of Guan Yu.

I thought my deduction was flawless.

Unexpectedly, this prosecutor, Li, overturned it with just a few words.

Is this what a prosecutor is like?

No wonder these police officers can only do odd jobs for the prosecutors.

The gap is really too big.

Cao Dajun blushed with shame and quickly bowed to Li Chenghuan in apology.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Prosecutor Li, according to what you said, there is indeed a possibility that there is more than one murderer. I was too hasty."

At this point, he gritted his teeth and continued, "But no matter what, there's a lot of mystery surrounding this guy! Why would an out-of-towner run into someone else's apartment building with a knife? Did he witness or stumble upon this murder? More importantly, why did he run away nervously when he saw us?"

"I think there must be some connection between him and the deceased!"

"At least it's not too stupid." Lee Seung-hwan nodded calmly.

And this time.

Da da da…

A slender woman descended the stairs. She was wearing pajamas, had fair skin, her hair was tied up, and she was biting her lip. Her eyes were red-rimmed, and her watery eyes gave off a broken and poignant beauty. She was a very beautiful woman.

Cao Dajun and the other police officers were shocked when they saw the woman.

They had no idea there were still living people upstairs.

Who is this woman?

Was she a witness?

Or is he an accomplice of Kim Gu-nam?

A series of questions arose in everyone's minds.

Upon seeing this woman, Kim Gu-nam trembled all over and fell into deep despair once again.

Because this woman happened to witness him lying on top of Professor Jin and cutting his thumb, and he wasn't even sure if this woman had actually witnessed the real murderer.

What she sees when she goes downstairs is herself "murdering".

Then he's completely finished.

"What was your relationship to the deceased? His wife?"

Lee Seung-hwan looked at the woman and asked calmly.

The woman looked at Li Chenghuan in surprise. This man was tall and upright, his suit was impeccably tailored and had an extraordinary air about him. His gaze was deep and scrutinizing, and his sharp eyes seemed to see right through her.

In his presence, women seemed unable to hide anything from him.

She lowered her head, avoiding Li Chenghuan's gaze. Tears still clung to her face as she whispered, "I am the deceased's wife."

She then revealed her identity.

Cao Dajun was once again impressed by Li Chenghuan's insight.

They could tell at a glance that the woman had a close relationship with the deceased.

As expected of the chief prosecutor!

Lee Seung-hwan simply nodded slightly and asked again, "Did you see clearly who killed your husband just now?"

After saying that, he pointed at Jin Jiunan and asked, "Is he the murderer?"

Following Lee Seung-hwan's gaze, the woman looked at Kim Gu-nam, who was being held captive. Their eyes met, and Kim Gu-nam's face was filled with despair, pleading, hope, and grievance.

He opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself.

But the words just wouldn't come out.

He couldn't prove his innocence; the woman had witnessed him cutting off Professor Kim's thumb.

He wasn't sure if she had seen what happened before.

But given the circumstances at the time, I doubt anyone would believe that Kim Gu-nam had no connection with that group.

who knows.

Just when Kim Gu-nam thought he was about to be identified by the woman.

She shook her head and said, "I didn't see him kill my husband with my own eyes. I only heard loud fighting and screams coming from the stairwell. My husband screamed and cried for help. It was very noisy in the stairwell. I was too scared to come downstairs because I heard the noise from inside the house. Later, when the noise stopped, I mustered up my courage and came here. That's when I saw this person... he was looking for something on my husband's body. He saw me too, but he didn't attack me. Just then, the police arrived, and he turned around and ran downstairs..."

After listening to the woman recount the events,

Everyone fell into deep thought.

The deceased's wife claimed that she did not witness the real murderer.

All that could be heard from the stairwell were sounds of fierce fighting and killing.

She only encountered Kim Gu-nam after the sounds of fighting and killing had subsided.

Does this mean there was another group of people before this?

Are they the real murderers?

They killed Professor Kim and then ran away.

Is Kim Gu-nam from the second wave?

After listening, Jin Jiunan felt like a drowning person finally getting a breath of fresh air. His tense body finally relaxed for a moment. He didn't expect that this woman would not identify him as the murderer.

Did she see her fighting with Professor Kim's driver?

Upon hearing this, Li Chenghuan remained noncommittal, waved his hand, and instructed Cao Dajun: "Take this woman and this suspect back to the prosecutor's office. I want to interrogate them personally."

"As for you, take these two bodies back to the police station so the forensic doctor can examine the wounds and cause of death. Once you have the report, immediately report to me at the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office. Understand?"

"Yes!" Cao Dajun and the other police officers quickly bowed in response.

The two sides split into two groups.

Cao Dajun and some police officers called for forensic experts to assist in cleaning up the scene and taking photos to preserve evidence.

Another team of police officers was responsible for escorting Kim Gu-nam and Professor Kim's wife to the prosecutor's office with Lee Seung-hwan.

…………

Seoul District Prosecutors' Office, interrogation room.

The cameras in the four corners of the room were turned off.

Lee Seung-hwan casually crossed his legs, looked at the man opposite him whose hands were cuffed to the interrogation chair, whose eyes were lifeless and who was lost in a daze and pain, and asked: "Tell me, why did you kill Kim Sung-hyun?"

Jin Jiunan hurriedly said, "Sir, I really didn't kill him! I just saw screams and fighting coming from the deceased's house, so I went up to see what was going on and thought I might get something for nothing. I really didn't..."

He knew that the prosecutor in front of him was meticulous and had seen through him from the beginning that he was not the murderer. He had even refuted the sheriff's argument, which showed that the prosecutor was a very intelligent person.

He tried every means to defend himself and shirk responsibility.

He could fool others, but he couldn't fool Lee Seung-hwan, who knew the plot inside and out.

He casually tossed the pen he was using to take notes onto the table and stared blankly at Kim Gu-nam.

“You didn’t kill anyone, but you did want to kill Kim Sung-hyun. It just so happened that another group also wanted to kill him, and your two groups collided.”

"The group that actually killed Kim Sung-hyun has already escaped. You arrived too late and ran into Kim Sung-hyun's driver, who was one of the murderers. During your fight, he accidentally fell off the building and died. You were panicked and extremely nervous. You wanted to leave, but you didn't want to give up the mission. So you wanted to get some kind of token from Kim Sung-hyun to pretend that you had killed the target."

"But unfortunately, Kim Sung-hyun's wife saw everything you did, and for some reason the police arrived so quickly that you had no choice but to jump out of the window to escape."

"Is this how things went?"
