Despite I-soo’s affluent background, Gang-hyun remains indifferent to his presence, setting the stage for a compelling partnership rooted in the pursuit of solving crimes and bringing perpetrators to justice. As they delve into the intricacies of their work, the narrative promises a blend of wealth, intrigue, and the challenges inherent in the world of criminal investigation.
I-soo arrests Seung-ju and interrogates him while Joon-young and Kang-hyun interrogate Hyeonbae. The women who was found in the car’s trunk, Ms. Miyeon is sent to the hospital to regain consciousness. During the interrogation, Seung-ju doesn’t tell any detail to I-soo. Meanwhile, Hyeonbae acts arrogantly as they haven’t found the murder weapon and any solid evidence against him.
When Seung-ju’s attorney’s arrive, the senior officer and Kang-hyun speak with Seung-ju, who then reveals the truth about how he met Daehoon at the publication party and how he started to threaten his mother Heeja. Seung-ju says that Daehoon blackmailed and received a lot of money from his mother as he had a proof of his mother’s old affair. This news shocks I-soo. Seung-ju confirms that he has nothing to do with the murder and didn’t arrange the assassination. Seung-ju is then released as he is mentioned as a witness and not a suspect.

Apparently, Daehoon is the biological father of Seung-ju and to help her son become the chairman of the Hansu group she arranged the men to kill Daehoon. Daehoon simply used his DNA results to get money from Heeja.

The series is really good but I wish the last two episodes will give a proper conclusion and not rush the story’s end. Because all the different crime cases built the main story well and good. If they rush it and make the show end on a simple note, it’s going to spoil the reputation the series has earned so far. Moreover, no romance has bloomed between Kang-hyun and I-soo yet, and that’s a shame.
