Chương 36: The Fifth Case (1)

As a member of a specialized unit within the Seoul Metropolitan Police Department, my team and I are used to tackling the biggest and most complex cases that come our way. But the nature of our work means that there are times when things are slow, when there are no pressing cases demanding our immediate attention. During these lulls, one of the things we often do is review old, unsolved cases, hoping to find some new lead or insight that might help us finally bring the perpetrators to justice.

For me, this downtime is particularly exciting, as it gives me a chance to delve into the case that has haunted me for years - the unsolved murder of my own parents. But as a junior member of the team, my access to the old case files is limited, and I am forced to watch from the sidelines as my more senior colleagues pour over the evidence, searching for anything that might have been missed.
