Seoul Busters

Episode 5

Wait!

Yes?

Well...

I'm not sure if this is related to the case, but...

We only need information relevant to the case.

Any information would be helpful. Please go ahead.

Hyojoo's ex has been giving her a hard time lately.

Her ex?

Yes, Nam Junghyun from the physical education department.

They briefly went out last year,

but he's been harassing Hyojoo ever since they broke up.

Having fun at karaoke? Pick up your phone

He's the reason Hyojoo took a leave of absence.

Has she reported him to the police?

The police said there was nothing they could do.

Also, he's from a wealthy family.

You didn't actually see him that day, did you?

No.

But I have a feeling he was nearby.

Is it that bastard again?

-Let's take a taxi together. -Let's go.

No need. We're not going in the same direction.

I'll get going.

- Be careful. - Bye.

Burnt table

Burnt microwave

Molten cutlery box

Display shelves completely burned down

Dishware fallen on the floor

What do you think you're doing?

Songwon Police Station has moved to a temporary location

Nam Junghyun.

He's in the physical education department at the same school as Yoon Hyojoo.

They briefly dated,

and he's been harassing Hyojoo nonstop since they broke up.

He's even been fined for stalking.

I bet he's the culprit.

Judging from the texts he sent her that night,

he must've been keeping tabs on her.

Isn't it obvious?

We don't know for sure yet.

Of course not.

What about the man from the CCTV footage?

I found out who he was.

He's Kang Sangdu, the owner of Lucky Chicken,

the place across from One Shot Chicken.

They've been at odds since day one.

One thing to note

is that he's been suspected in three arson cases.

Arson?

There you have it.

No, let's not jump to conclusions.

No, we shouldn't.

Yoon Minsoo, the owner of the restaurant,

and Song Sanguk, the landlord, are also suspects.

They both have fire insurance.

In the event of a fire, Yoon Minsoo receives 300 million won,

and Song Sanguk receives over a billion won.

The latter has more than four fire insurance policies.

That does raise a red flag.

Why would he have so many fire insurance policies?

-We've finally solved the case, sir. - No, not yet.

You're right. We haven't solved it yet.

Ugh, this is frustrating.

Minsoo didn't do it.

I'm sure this stalker's the culprit.

That's my hunch.

You'll soon see I was right.

This one's a tough nut to crack.

A T-Rex!

I brought us some lunch!

Detective Jung!

- Are you okay? - I'm okay. Take a seat.

All right!

-Let's summon all the suspects first. - Yes, sir.

Detective Jang, schedule the interviews and bring them in.

-Yes, sir. - Let's eat.

-I'll eat later. - Understood.

Seoul Busters

-Detective Seo. -Yes?

- Come with me, please. - Yes, sir.

Background Check

I'd appreciate all of your cooperation. Let's do this!

First Place: Yoon Minsoo

First Place: Yoon Minsoo

The Lord detests lying lips,

but he delights in people who are trustworthy. Proverbs 12:22

Why isn't this...

This is all I can offer you.

Sorry, there's not much to see.

Have a seat.

Okay.

Are you eating candy? I want some.

It's not candy. Don't mind me.

Thank you.

Did you say this could've been arson?

Well, yes.

Are you suggesting someone set my restaurant on fire on purpose?

That's a possibility.

- How's Hyojoo doing? -Sorry?

Oh, she's still unconscious.

But she'll come around. She's strong.

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come...

She's been ill for a long time.

Mr. Yoon seems like a good person, doesn't he?

I'm not sure.

Why not? I thought he seemed really kind.

Hmm. Maybe he is.

Does that mean you think he's a good person or not?

I don't think people can be labeled as simply good or bad.

Everyone is multifaceted, just like how every coin has two sides.

Any person can act in a good or bad way, depending on the situation.

I bet you're not religious.

I'm not. What about you?

I'm not either.

But I do think it could be helpful in these kinds of situations.

Why aren't you religious?

-Are you familiar with Gustave Courbet? -Not really.

He's a 19th-century Realist painter.

When criticized for refusing to paint biblical scenes, he said this.

"Show me an angel, and I'll paint one."

I feel the same way.

I don't believe in what can't be proven.

Mm-hmm. Sure, sure.

Am I being a know-it-all again?

Oh, my goodness. Are you still brooding over that?

No, not at all. It just suddenly came to mind.

Sure, sure.

Please don't take this personally. I'm just curious.

Are you saying "sure" twice

to indicate sarcasm?

No way.

Mm-hmm.

Never mind. Forget I asked.

Sure, sure.

Gosh.

Sorry for the long wait.

Something urgent came up.

I just got here.

Drink this. I got one for each of us.

Oh! Thank you.

Mmm! I love this tea.

How did you know I love tea with milk?

You got your PhD in the UK.

That's right. I hate the cold.

Tea with milk was my lifesaver.

Here's a picture of the scene.

We've identified pour and splash patterns.

It indicates that the fire started from flammable liquid.

It seems someone splashed flammables and set the fire.

That's the typical scenario.

Could the person who attacked Hyojoo have started the fire too?

Maybe.

This is the police report center.

Hello, sir.

I need help. It's urgent.

What's wrong?

My ex is outside the window, holding a knife.

A knife? He's holding a knife?

I can't make it out clearly,

but it looks like one.

He's quite short-tempered.

So please hurry here.

Okay. What's your address?

That bastard.

Taesung

Hi, Taesung. What's up?

Hey, Joongryeok. Coach Yoon's wife called me.

Some detectives visited them earlier

and took Coach Yoon to the police station.
