- See you

GOOD MORNING Take-out

You still go to this place?

Didn't I tell you?

I always buy my lunch there

Don't you feel awkward?

Eating lunch prepared by a murder suspect?

Though you wouldn't care about

something like that

I'm going to wash up

I think I'm sobering up

It's getting cold.

Go under? Okay under

Aren't they cold? It's not summer anymore

These people here are

always the same like clockwork

So I've heard

they are precise like a clock

We're always fast or slow living life in a hurry

If we free ourselves from clocks,

will we be more punctual?

Who is he staring at?

Bye

Hey

Aren't you going to pick up lunch?

You have to eat

Hello

No, no, no. I'm not a cop today

I came as a customer

Okay

Let's see. What should I get?

What are you getting?

He always orders Good Morning Lunchbox

Okay then, two Good Morning Lunchboxes, please

Okay

Hey.

Did you find out? Hold on

Sorry but do you have a piece of paper?

Okay. So what?

Hold on

Sorry. the pen isn't working

Choi Chan-min?

010-3413-

728 7287

87 Correct? 87?

Okay, be right over

Thank you

Welcome

Hello Mr. Nam, you came again

Here you go

How much is it?

- It's 12 dollars

- 12 dollars?

I stopped by on my way to work

I wanted to try the lunchbox you make

You're busy from early in the morning

What should I get?

Aren't you leaving?

Oh yeah. I am

Do you go ice climbing?

I heard that is great

Heard the snaps on this thing is terrific

I don't do ice climbing

but the customers have complimented on it

Excuse me, please look around

I:

I don't think we should see

each other anymore

I came here to tell you that

I'm not saying we need to do anything right now

We have our own situations,

so let's take it slow

Did you forget everything

I've done for you?

Watch me

Watch what I will do

You're late

It's okay. No one's watching us

You were charged more

this month for the water

What?

I hear some leaking sound at night

I was wondering if you knew

You want me to fix it?

No, it's fine

Alright then

See you later

By the way

Your clothes seem gaudy today

And your make-up is heavy

Detective Jo!

What are you doing out in the cold?

- I brought some hot

- Left the bicycle

Left the bicycle with flat tires here

Bicycles?

Meticulously destroyed

the victim's face and fingerprints

but left the victim's things on the scene

You're saying the killer

left the bicycle on purpose?

What if he did?

And tell us the time of the murder?

Why would he do that?

To prove Baek's alibi

What?

In order to prove Baek was in the theaters

when Kim Cheol-min arrived here

That's why the tires are flat

So no one can ride it

Then the window of time for murder is

spread out and Baek's alibi becomes insufficient

You still think Baek killed him?

What if

"Baek was at home in between 6 and 6:30"

And Kim Cheol-min was killed there

No way

How can she move the body

from her house to here in 30 minutes?

She even has no car

Did she grab a taxi?

Also, she had to rent the bicycle

She can't do all that by herself

It's impossible, right?

No way

Especially, a woman by herself can't

The victim's clothes we found here

What was the size?

What about it?

That's not important. I found another suspect

What?

Did Ms. Baek ask you to kill Kim Cheol-min?

Hwa-sun could never kill someone

or hire a hit man

And do you think I'm stupid?

Even if I like the girl you think I'd kill someone?

Then you killed Kim Cheol-min

without her knowing?

Because in order to be with her,

Kim Cheol-min had to disappear

What?

What did you do on November 9th?

Look here guys

When will you stop bothering Hwa-sun?

Well

Until we have no reason to

November 9th

He's not our guy

Geez man

He has a clear motive

A motive!

So the motive

The reason

What?

There is someone but

Yeah? Who?

But there is no motive

Write question #1 on the board

and if you have the time, do it up to #4

Hey

So you are the disciple of Doped-Goras

Excuse me?

Back in school, your teacher's nickname was

Doped out Pythagoras

Aren't his problems difficult?

Everybody says it's hard but I like it

Oh yeah? Why?

Well

His problems have blind spots

that mislead people

It might seem like a geometry problem

But it's actually a function

You're killing them all

Go on

Yes, sir

Study hard

Let's go to the break room

Okay

What's up? Obviously, you're not here

to check out my tests

Don't take this personally

According to this, you skipped

the morning class on November 10th

And you came to work in the afternoon

What happened to you?

A cold

Really?

What do you mean?

And you were absent on the 9th

I heard that you sometimes skip morning classes

to do your math research

But the administrator was surprised

that you were absent on the 9th and 10th

Said you never took off for two days in a row

I haven't?

Is that weird?

A scrupulous person like you

It's odd you didn't come to work

for a mere cold

On top of that,

you were absent the day before

Did you go see a doctor?

What do you want from me?

I suddenly want to ask you this

Making a problem no one can solve

or solving that problem

Which is harder?

Did you pity Baek Hwa-sun?

She killed a person

I have to go

See you later

Auntie

The next door. He is here

What're you doing at my place?

You're home

I'm almost done

Isn't Kim Cheol-min about 5ft 6in?

Don't they seem too big?

These fit you

Don't they seem too big for 5ft 6in guy?

Guess so

But you can wear pants however you want

I felt uneasy so I thought well and hard

But this has to be an unmotivated murder

That's why there's no suspect

You think a psychopath did it?

Usually, when a murder happens

the killer will do anything to hide the body

Bury in the mountains or sink it in a reservoir

Even if he didn't have a car

Han-river was right in front of you

If I were him, I'll tie the body

with something heavy and sink it under water

So you're saying

the killer left the body

on purpose for others to find

Yeah, he's a psychopath

He wants the world to know what he did

At least that's my guess

Then think about it this way

The killer wanted the body to be found

That's right

Then this actually makes sense

Nov. 9th Absent

Nov. 10th Absent

His problems have blind spots

that mislead people

It might seem like a geometry problem

But it's actually a function

Right?

JINSUNG Inn

There was an empty noodle bowl

and he was gone

So you didn't see him

the day before his murder either?

Chinese food

think it was around midnight

He asked about food delivery

I gave him the number for a chicken delivery

Over the phone?

So you've never really seen

the guy's face. Have you?

Mister

Mister

No, no wait!

Mister!

Wait

Mister!

Hey!

You going up?

Stop right there! Hey!

Until now

I only focused on Baek's alibi

But the alibi wasn't important in this case

The problem was the dead body

Really?

But I

I hope I'm wrong

Looking at the homeless,

you said they are precise like clockwork
