Autopsy finished.

Autopsy result?

I found extensive damage and multiple bone fractures caused by falling.

So, suicide or homicide?

The eyelids are black and blue with stasis of blood flow.

The eyelids are black and blue with stasis of blood flow. -=Blood Stasis: due to the destruction of capillaries that impedes blood flow to the eyes; may be a result of choking=-

There is also congestion of the organs found. -=Blood Stasis: due to the destruction of capillaries that impedes blood flow to the eyes; may be a result of choking=-

There is also organ congestion. -= an abnormal collection of blood in an organ=-

This can be seen in deaths caused by suffocation.

This can be seen in deaths caused by suffocation.

Suffocation and not a fall?

After inspecting the neck area, we discovered tissue damage due to injury.

Subarachnoid brain hemorrhage and thyroid cartilage fracture. -= Acute hemorrhagic cerebral vascular rupture =-

What does this mean?

Joo Seon Woo's cause of death was suffocation by choking.

But an eyewitness saw Joo Seon Woo jump from the 19th floor.

The problem here is the time of death.

Doctor.

Dr. Go Da Kyung. What's the matter?

The hammer killing case...

Have you examined the weapon?

Hammer killing?

Right.

The result just came out.

The victim's blood result is here; but, the suspect's DNA is not ready.

Kang Seo Yeon?

Joo Seon Woo's estimated time of death is not 11 o'clock.

The hotel records show that Joo Seon Woo dined at 6:30.

But, at 11 o'clock, Joo Seon Woo's stomach and intestines would have completely digested the food.

The duodenum is not empty. -= duodenum: first section of the small intestine =-

Based on the state of Joo Seon Woo's stomach and intestines,

the estimated time of death is about 7:00 pm.

Are the results complete?

No.

If that's the case...

Can you give the estimated time of death?

Estimated time of death? Why?

The suspect is quibbling.

But he has no alibi for 11:00pm to midnight.

If Woo Sang Eun died then, there would be a fit.

= estimated time of death for the 16th: 1:00 am ~ 8:00 am =-

For the 15th, 11 pm to midnight, right? - = estimated time of death for the 16th: 1:00 am ~ 8:00 am =-

15th, 11 pm to midnight, right? - = estimated time of death, 16th: 1:00 am ~ 8:00 am =-

Do you have the estimated time of death?

No, not yet.

I'll call you as soon as we have it.

Joo Seon Woo's estimated time of death is not 11:00 pm but, 7:00 pm.

Joo Seon Woo did not die from a fall but, from suffocation by choking.

The type of death is homicide.

Not falling but, suffocation.

Not suicide but, homicide, you say?

It's not "I say". Any medical examiner would have reached the same conclusion.

Good. I thought maybe you didn't know the difference.

But, you estimate death at 7 pm, not 11 pm, right?

Scientists from all over find it impossible to accurately estimate the time of death.

It is a difficult problem...one that a medical examiner cannot solve, either.

Photos from Joo Seon Woo's autopsy will be released to NFS.

If there are doubts about the result,

I'm ready to discuss them.

- = the estimated time of death is from the 15th, 10:00 pm till the morning of the 16th =-

Okay, I know.

Senior, Detective Choi discovered Kang Seo Yeon on the CCTV tapes.

What? Kang Seo Yeon went to the hotel?

It was around 7 o'clock, your estimate of the time of death.

If you can prove the time, we will be able to subpoena Kang Seo Yeon.

Call me when the autopsy report is done.

How did this happen?

How could you let Doctor Yoon Ji Hoon do the autopsy?!

If Yoon Ji Hoon did the autopsy ...

Of course he would discover that it was not suicide but, homicide!

We can't just stand here and wait like this.

We have to prevent the autopsy result from being made public.

That isn't necessary.

It's not suicide but, homicide.

As long as the murderer is not Miss Kang, isn't it all right?

What are you trying to say?

What I am saying ...

You'll just have to wait and see.

= Autopsy Report = -

I haven't seen any hammer...

I'm not a murderer...

The checkered coat... School uniform... Anything...

I don't know anything, really!

Doctor!

This ...

I heard you said that it was time for me to do autopsies alone.

This is a killing in an alley, with a blunt object.

It's my first time, so I'm in a rush.

After I consult Doctor Kang, I'll finish it.

You estimated the time of death?

Yes.

Do you want me to help you?

No, it's okay.

I'll finish this quickly and hand over the report.

All right, then.

I'm here because of Joo Seon Woo's autopsy.

I don't know the actual reason ...

But I hope that you won't do it.

The feeling I experienced in Jeong Cha Yeong's case...

It's...really painful.

That event will plague me all my life.

I'll never be able to forget it.

I hope that you never have to experience that painful feeling.

It's like Seo Yoon Hyung's case.

I want to catch a criminal.

Changing some hours means the criminal will be proven guilty.

The suspect definitely is the killer.

If some numbers are changed, it's possible to jail him.

Can't that be done?

Really?

Can't I?

She's my younger sister.

Five years ago ...

Someone...

As she was coming home from school,

someone made her become like this.

From that day ...

Her time stopped.

She made me want to become...

a Forensic Examiner.

I'm so angry about the injustice done to her.

I want to personally catch the criminal.

But ...

When a corpse with a similar wound came to NFS ...

I met the suspect after the autopsy.

I knew then...

that he was the one who did this to my sister.

I really hate him.

So I decided, in front of her ...

that, no matter what ...

I must personally catch the killer.

But the time of death does not fit.

I know it imight be the last chance to catch him. I want to pretend that ... it doesn't matter if the time of death doesn't fit.

I know. This isn't right.

Stop! I understand.

So, I started thinking...

And came up with that bad idea.

You don't need to say this.

But you were right.

We must only present the scientific truth.

Da Hee will also want me to do the right thing.

Are you members of Go Da Hee's family?

I don't know if your father told you ...

Your sister's condition has recently become very serious.

What do you mean?

She's been hanging on for five years ...

but ... now her heart condition has significantly worsened.

Then what should we do?

A heart transplant is the only solution.

Heart transplant?

There are two approaches.

One is the heart from a donor ...

and the other is an artificial heart.

However, it's hard to find a donor.

And, an artificial heart is very expensive.

I'm very sorry to give you such bad news.

This is insufficient as conclusive evidence.

There's no recording from the room?

No, that would be an invasion of privacy.

If we want to subpoena Kang Seo Yeon ...

we must find where she was at 7 o'clock, when Joo Seon Woo died.

We must prove that she entered his room.

I'm Prosecutor Jung Woo Jin from the Eastern Prosecutors' Office.

I want to look at the records of all 19th-floor guests on the 21st.

I'm calling because of the murder in Hangook Hotel on the 21st.

On that day, you stayed in room 1913 of the hotel, didn't you?

On the 21st, you stayed in room 1912 of Hangook Hotel, right?

That same day ...

Did you see this woman in the elevator?

No, I didn't.

What about that side?

The time of death is the 16th, 1:00 am to 8:00 am, right?

Yes.

Mr. Lee presented a solid alibi for that period of time.

He said that he was playing a game in the Internet cafe.

There are many witnesses, including the cafe's manager.

The game usage stats are consistent, too.

What's this about?

Joo Seon Woo stayed in room 1917.

Yes.

It's 1916.

What?

The man in the elevator wearing a gray suit...

stayed in the room next to Joo Seon Woo's.

What is it now?

That resident is a businessman called Cho.

He definitely saw Kang Seo Yeon enter room 1917.

He's willing to be a witness.

Finally...

She's caught.

Now we can subpoena Kang Seo Yeon.
