The Good Detective (모범형사)

(The names of locations, people, religions, corporations,)

(and cases in this drama are not based on real events.)

Besides all that,

normal people wouldn't hang a painting done by a woman they killed in their office.

He doesn't care.

What? You know him?

We're seeing each other often.

What brings your here this time?

There's something I need to ask you.

This is my colleague, Detective Kang Do-Chang.

Hello.

I'm Kang Do-Chang from Incheon West division's violent crimes department.

Please have a seat.

I guess this isn't about personal matters.

You brought your colleague with you.

Do you know Yoon Ji-sun, by any chance?

She's a college student who was murdered 5 years ago.

She was an art student.

Yes, I know her.

How did you two know each other?

She painted my portrait.

And I'm the one who asked her to do it.

Did you two meet privately while she was working on the portrait?

We had dinner together when she brought the finished portrait.

And I didn't see her after that.

It seems like you knew that she was murdered.

So you must know that the killer has already been caught, right?

Yes.

Then I would think that you would be curious about why we're asking you about her now.

Why should I be curious about that?

Detective Kang thinks that you're a suspect.

He thinks you're the one who killed her.

For what reason?

I told him about you.

About me?

Did you kill her?

Are you being serious right now?

Yeah.

I think you need to go.

If you have any questions, you can talk to my lawyers.

I have nothing more to say to you guys.

Let's go.

Reschedule my lunch plans.

I'm going to be free.

What is going on between you two?

He's my cousin.

So you think that your cousin--

I don't want him to be the killer either.

But I can't do anything about it evidence shows that he did it.

Hold on.

It seems like you're trying to cover for him.

Why would I do that?

Why did you ask him out of the blue if he had killed her?

We don't even have evidence or a motive.

Asking him that is telling him that he should brace himself because we're after him.

That's why I said that.

Jong-tae has never felt anxious or worried after doing something wrong.

He thinks that no one will dare to arrest him.

I'm probably the first one who directly asked him if had killed someone.

So if Oh Jong-tae starts moving because of what you said...

It means he killed her.

Such a show off.

The way she looked at me was so beautiful...

Jin Suh-kyung as the manager?

Yes.

The position is open at the moment.

Is that all right?

Is everyone on board with it?

Boss, it's too early for that...

I don't think the other companies will accept it.

They would give her a hard time if she was writing for other regions.

But she works at Junghan Daily's headquarters now.

No one would dare to get in her way.

I'm sure she can do it.

I believe in her.

Oh, so it's about a month before the crime happened?

How long was the stay?

Okay.

Did she say why she was going to New York?

Really?

She went alone?

Got it.

Sorry to keep bothering you.

Thanks.

What are you working on?

I need to investigate something.

Is Kang Do-Chang doing something else instead of enjoying his vacation?

I don't know.

I don't pay attention to what others do.

But he's your partner.

That doesn't make a difference.

I like working alone.

I'll see you later.

Yes, I'm the one who called.

This is Lee Gyung-oh, right?

You were violently assaulted by Oh Jong-tae recently, right?

I'm the one who greeted him while it was happening.

You do remember?

Yes.

You quit your job?

Yes.

I may not make much, but it's a 100 times better than working at that crappy place.

And I'm more at peace too.

I should've left a long time ago.

I looked into the department you were looking at. What exactly did you do?

We don't really have a specific job description.

You can just think of everyone as Oh Jong-tae's servants.

So you must've been involved in his private matters too.

Jong-tae would frequently date new people.

But I think he only saw Yoon Ji-sun around the time of the murder.

And he also didn't go to hostess bars during that time.

How did the two meet?

He met her when she was working a part time job at a gallery opening.

And I've confirmed that she was working at the gallery.

And I found out that the gallery was owned by Jong-tae's friend.

So they became a couple after that?

Yoon Ji-sun went to New York 6 months before her murder.

I heard she went by herself.

But I looked at the records, and Oh Jong-tae was on the same flight.

So they were very close.

And he made up for the age difference with his money.

Did Yoon Ji-sun dump him?

Is that why he killed her?

Maybe.

He would kill her because he got dumped?

He didn't seem like a total psychopath.

When we were young, Jong-tae had a dog named Happy.

He beat the dog to death because the dog didn't listen to him.

And he placed a picture of him and the dog on his desk.

He would look at the picture and tell me that he missed Happy.

When he was young, Jong-tae thought that he

could do whatever he wanted inside the house.

And now he thinks that the outside world is his world too.

What are you doing? You said we can't be late!

Go ahead first. We'll be right out.

Hurry.

Hey.

When a family member becomes a suspect,

you're supposed to stay out of the investigation.

You know why I'm saying this, right?

I'm just chasing after the killer.

I'm not thinking about anything else.

Let's get the killer.

To be honest, you're at a serious disadvantage.

What should we do?

I can't live without my son.

Don't worry. He's amazing at what he does.

He has never lost the cases that I've handed to him.

Detective Kang, I've never handled a child custody case before.

Remember what you used to tell me?

You told me that you became a lawyer to help those in need.

She is in desperate need.

You don't have to look for one anywhere else.

Of course. I need to take this case.

But...

- Do you... - Yes?

Do you have any family member who is in a high position or has a lot of money?

I see.

You're at a serious disadvantage.

Why?

I'm being considered for a promotion.

I'm going to be a lieutenant soon. That will put me in an executive position.

He's good at what he does.

Let's just trust him for now.

There's no hope.

What the hell do you want me to do then?

Why did you have to get a divorce?

It's not like he cheated on you or hit you!

You should've just been patient. Why did you have to get a divorce?

So that's what you wanted to say to me, huh?

You and he are the same.

You guys don't put yourselves in the girl's shoes!

I've thought about it in the girl's shoes too. But...

Someone who thinks in the girl's shoes wouldn't

get broken up with on the day of his wedding.

Why would you bring that up again?

It's embarrassing!

Look at us... Like brother, like sister.

Eun-hee.

Don't drink today.

Then how am I supposed to get through this?

Don't drink more than 3 bottles.

I have enough on my plate as it is. My head is going to burst.

How can you make her the manager of the legal team?

Did you want the job?

To be honest, I should've been offered the job considering the years of experience.

Jin Suh-kyung put Kim Gi-tae in jail.

Do you think the prosecutors will accept her when

she's the one who put one of their members in prison?

Why is the Central District Prosecutors' Office refusing to register her name?

I guess they don't like me.

This is not just about Ms. Jin.

They've totally looked down on our company.

We need to make a formal complaint to the Prosecutors' Office.

What do you think we should do?

It will only make Junghan Daily look bad if we fight petty with petty.

I think we can look for solutions if they do

the same thing when we send another reporter.

- Mr. Song? - Yes?

Go to the Prosecutors' Office.
