Lee Hyun-woo paused for a second, then get inside and put his bag down.

"I guess im just gonna go around." Lee Hyun-woo getting out to the roof, and Park Min-ji just noticed him.

Park Min-ji then get up and search his bag, looking if she could find something interesting. She look at one of the book that Lee Hyun-woo bring, before she could even take it she hear a footstep and quickly back to her sit, thinking that was Lee Hyun-woo.

As the sound getting closer and closer the person that show up is Lee Ji-woo with the other students, and just wave at her.

'Sigh' of relieve.

"Why is there a problem?" Lee Ji-woo ask, while walking towards her chair infront of Park Min-ji.

Seo-ha then look into the old detective room, he saw many draft papers, the course of events, and the causes of the first murder that being place on the wall.

Seo-ha look around before he enter the room, he look closely to the draft and he make a face wondering about the second murder case that is not there.

*Why only the first? Just because the death doesnt make sense or because it's not a murder by humans from the looks of it.*

'Seo-ha remembering the terrifying death from the first murder, and the brutal death on the second murder case.'

Suddenly there was the sound of the door opening, Seo-ha quickly get out from the old detective room. He act normal and grab a coffe at the kitchen like nothing happen, he walk into his office but also look towards the camera.

*I should erased the footage soon.* He thought.

Seo-ha arrived at his office and ready to work.

'Sipping the cup of coffee'

His face changed as he felt unwell with the coffee he drank.

"Ugh, maybe i should really buy the coffe from Teo cafe." It's the coffe from Teo woo-ji cafe that mention.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Seo-ha looked at the door and realized that it was the old detective who was knocking.

"Oh, come in sir." Seo-ha just stand up while asking. "Is there a problem sir?"

"What- oh no, just talk about the first murder case." The old detective enter with the documents on his hand.

Seo-ha accept and look into the documents, every detail of the documents. Even though he arleady knows because he saw the draft on the old detective wall.

"I want you to go to the murder scene again and check if you can found anything else there. Print it down, then sent the documents to my laptop and office. Alright?" As the old detective left the room.

"Yes sir!" Seo-ha salute until he left the room, and wonder.

*Why do i need to print it down tho? Is there someone else handleing the case?* He thought.

On the other side can be seen that Lee Hyun-woo walk down the stairs, through the hallway going to his class.
