Queen of Mystery (추리의 여왕)

Episode 1 -

I am here.

What's that?

You'll scare the kids, punk. This will suffice. - You didn't bring your gun?

I don't think this will do. We need to call for backup. - What for? Two of us can take care of this quickly.

You are not calling for a backup?

Are you kidding? - What do you mean I am kidding?

You didn't?

You said it was done!

When I said "It's done," I didn't mean it was for that! Call quickly! - Ahh, seriously...

Ah, you scared me. - Call for backup quickly.

Oh my...

You all calm down or I'll shoot.

Aish... - Hold on.

You all be careful. The first shot is a warning shot and from the second shot, it's for real. Am I right?

But what to do? I've got more than five guys.

Aigoo, then five will die.

No. Our station's regulation is four shots.

Only four? I'm the one who decides that. - Yeah..

Okay, whatever.

He says it's four shots, four shots! Then four people will die.

Hey, hold this.

How dare you summon us so pretentiously?

Come here-- - Dong Jae!

Where are you? I am here! Come on out quickly!

You all are dead now.

You all are dead. Let's end this quickly and go home.

Hey, you son of a bitch!

Damn, so many...

We can't see you!

What are you looking at?!

Help out, it's getting out of hand! - Wait!

Move aside!

Here, look!

Aish, hey!

Jang Do Jang... aish...

I am positive it's a thief!

I keep getting inventory shortages.

I am asking you to recalculate it again calmly. We are busy, too.

I am saying it's not a miscalculation!

Then maybe it's your employee.

Isn't that why I called you to catch him?

We need to have some evidence to catch him.

We are violating the law if we question him without any proof.

Did you get anything? Like a crime scene or anything suspicious, huh?

Not yet.

Then... take your time.

I'll patrol around.

It's my first day, though.

Ah, first experience is good. It's a good opportunity for you.

Then... work hard. - Ah, Officer Jang...!

Eh? How can you assign this to a newbie?!

Perhaps they disappeared and left from the storage room?

The storage room... I am the only one who can open it.

Then it means they disappeared in the store.

I am telling you it's a thief who stole them.

Then why didn't we capture the act of thievery, when you have so many cameras in the store?

That is your job to find out.

I am... not an officer, but a lieutenant. I am also in charge of my station.

Oh, my. So you are the new person in charge of the station?

I thought that other man was in charge.

But... you look too young. You are probably not even 30 years old, are you?

Yeah.

Stop!

Who...?

This employee looks suspicious. - Who? Who is suspicious?

Ah, him? This is my son.

He watches the store when I am not around sometimes.

He's very nervous. Look. His body is crouched over.

Was he tired?

He's not that way at other times.

So what are you saying? My son is timid in nature.

He gets nervous whenever this student shows up.

Even his hands shake a bit.

Let's see.

It's true. He's that way on other days, too.

But he doesn't seem to be stealing anything though.

Geez, let's ring it up! And don't interfere with catching the thief!

Uh? This student only uses a card to pay.

I know, right?

Who pays with cash these days? Everyone uses a credit card.

Really? Then... I'll pay with a card, too.

How can you pay with a library card?!

Seo Dong Group Library?

It's the same as this one, right?

Yeah. - I recognized it at first glance. I tend to go to the library often.

He used a library card at the store?

Your inventory shortage wasn't due to stealing, your son just gave them away.

Because he knew he was being captured by CCTV, he pretended like he was paying by using a library card.

The reason this student shows up only when your son is the cashier---

I am here!

Oh? He's wearing the same school uniform as the student in the CCTV.

You brat... You, you, you!

You brat! Come here you brat!

You come here, huh?! - Ah, please, Mom!

So it was you making the inventory shortage, huh?!

Why did you do it? I gave you an allowance, huh?!

Ah, please!

That is... I don't know. It's making me crazy, too!

You lost a button. One is a different color, too.

Your sneakers seem to be too big. Is that why you tie them so tightly?

What did you do with your sneakers?!

I think it's best if you get some counseling from the school

to see if your son is being bullied there.

I didn't know anything because I was too busy with the store.

Don't worry too much because the police station has a department assigned just for school violence.

Chief, please look into this.

Are... you going to give me a discount?

Mother-in-law! Please come and eat.

Uh...

What about Prosecutor Kim?

He has a lot of work to do. I guess he won't be home for awhile.

My goodness... my prosecutor.

I wonder if he's even eating breakfast on a regular basis or not?

I am leaving.

Aren't you eating?

She normally doesn't eat breakfast.

Since when?

I haven't eaten this since high school.

Unni, I am off. - Yeah.

It's her loss if she doesn't eat.

Oh, so salty.

Are you planning to open a lunchbox business with this skill?

I tried. Is it not good?

My god...

Are you done eating?

I am late.

Where are you going?

Do I look like a person who only guards the house? I have a seminar with my friends.

Have fun.

You are not going out, right?

To the lunchbox shop for a bit...

Uh... okay.

Don't talk mindlessly with those women with low standards.

That'll only bring shame to my son.

Yeah. Have fun at the seminar.

Okay.

What to do, I feel so bad?!

There... give me one each.

Is your daughter-in-law alright?

My daughter-in-law?

Just think about it. She is in her prime.

You never know. - They still get along well, though.

They even go to the market and drink tea together.

He's not the type to go to the market with her.

I saw her, too... with a tall man.

A tall man?

With a porcelain face... - Right. He looks like a white rice cake.

And his eyes smile when he smiles. - Right, right.

Oh, he looked so young. He looked like a college student from behind.

By chance, is he Chief Hong?

Yes, it's Chief Hong.

You are leaving now? Yeah.

Then where should I meet you?

Since we need to avoid people, let's meet at the locker place.

My situation is like that. Yeah, Chief.

I'll see you later.

Stop! I got it. Give me one.

Here.

You got whammed.

Why would she date a precinct station chief when her husband is a prosecutor?

Don't you know a prosecutor is above the police?

Do people have affairs based on rank?

Affair? That's not for everybody.

She has no higher education, no money, or a reputable family.

Thanks to her husband, she's being called a prosecutor's wife.

What man would be interested in her? This is nonsense you all.

Hello. - It's me. By chance if my mother-in-law--

What do I tell her?

Tell her roughly something.

We have to get our story together. Don't you know your mother-in-law is quite meticulous?

Tell her I went to buy ingredients.

So why would you need to go buy the ingredients?

I am... meeting with Chief Hong again.

Really? You are enjoying this, aren't you?

Hey. This is too risky. How long can you hide it from your mother-in-law living in the same neighborhood--

I don't care. I don't care. I am so excited.

Aigoo! Think about it carefully to see if anything is weird.

Don't regret it afterward.

I heard Madam Park's daughter-in-law keeps leaving the house.

That is... - Is she sneaking phone calls out on the veranda?

Those are the telltale signs.

That is...

Don't mention it. Normally--

She has a friend who is running a lunchbox business.

But I guess the business is booming.

She goes there every day to learn the trade.

But strangely her skill isn't advancing. - Too salty.

Is that you, Daughter-in-Law? Uh, it's me.

Ask her where she is at? - Would you answer honestly if it were you?

Where are you at now?

Lunchbox shop?

Okay, I got it.

She say she's at the lunchbox shop.

How can you believe that? - Then shall we go check it out?

Right. I am sick of playing this game, so let's go.

Aigoo. - Let's go quickly.

Ah, she said she's at the lunchbox shop!

That idiot... - Come quickly!

I'll go check out the theft location.
