Episode Five:

Kim Sujin dedicated hours in his office, meticulously scrutinizing footage, desperately seeking any hint of suspicion. Suddenly, his friend Mark burst in with unsettling news – another girl, bearing bruises akin to Lee Chayeong, had been discovered in the ocean. As Mark observed the screen, a revelation unfolded.

"Is that Lee Chayeong's husband?" Mark inquired. The footage unveiled a man in a black suit confronting Lee Chayeong's husband, engaging in what appeared to be a lengthy conversation. The husband, visibly frightened, hastily retreated home, locking the door behind him.

Swiftly capturing an image of the man in the black suit, Kim Sujin handed it to Mark, urging, "Please find out who this is." Mark embarked on his investigative mission, while Kim Sujin redirected his focus to a new crime scene, an unfolding mystery demanding his attention.

In Kim Sujin's absence, the victim, now identified as Anna, emerged as a 25-year-old foreigner studying medicine in Korea. Paralleling Lee Chayeong's fate, Anna exhibited signs of brutal abuse, her organs callously extracted. Dumped in a jungle within a black bag, her tragic demise intensified Kim Sujin's frustration that Chayeong's case remained unresolved.

After crime scene investigators documented the harrowing scene, Kim Sujin returned to his office. Laying out the collected photos, he embarked on a quest to unearth any potential connections. A sudden revelation gripped him as he identified similar bruises on the necks of both Anna and Chayeong – as if they had fallen victim to the same necklace or chain. This discovery fueled Kim Sujin's determination to solve both cases and apprehend the perpetrator responsible for these heinous crimes.

Haunted by the urgency to unravel the mysteries, Kim Sujin tirelessly connected the dots. The man in the black suit emerged as a pivotal figure in a complex web of events. Mark returned with crucial information, identifying the mysterious figure as a high-profile individual tied to organized crime. The plot thickened, intertwining the two cases with the dark underbelly of a criminal enterprise.

Determined to confront this menace, Kim Sujin delved deeper into the criminal underworld. Interrogations, covert operations, and alliances with informants became integral parts of his strategy. As he peeled back the layers of deception, a clearer picture emerged, revealing a sinister network orchestrating these gruesome acts.

The pursuit of justice led Kim Sujin through a labyrinth of danger and intrigue. Each revelation brought him closer to the truth, yet the shadows of the criminal underworld cast long and treacherous paths. The clock ticked relentlessly, urging him to close the chapter on these unsolved mysteries and bring solace to the victims and their grieving families.

Detective Kim made a solemn promise to himself – to unravel the mysteries surrounding the two harrowing cases and apprehend the criminal. His determination stemmed not only from a professional duty but also from a heartfelt commitment to protect other girls who might be at risk of suffering a similar fate.

He thought to himself, "I will catch you no matter what."
