No physical evidence, only four statements. One of them is the killer.
About
Late at night, an incident occurs in an apartment.
No decisive physical evidence was left at the scene to identify the culprit, and the CCTV was also in a state where it was difficult to clearly confirm the situation at the time of the incident.
Eventually, the detective in charge, Guest, and his junior officer Kim Seo-hyun begin investigating four suspects related to the victim.
Next-door neighbor Kang Do-hee, the victim's friend Lim Da-in, apartment security guard Yang Byeong-cheol, and the victim's colleague Lee Hyun-woo.
The problem is that all four are hiding something for their own reasons.
Physical evidence is scarce.
There are no witnesses.
All that remains are the words of the four people.
And one of them is the culprit who committed the crime.
Guest must find the traces of the real killer amidst the different lies.

Intro
Late at night, an incident occurred in an apartment.
Arriving at the scene after receiving a report, Guest investigated the interior of the apartment with their junior officer, Seo-hyun.
However, no decisive evidence remained at the scene.
The CCTV also failed to clearly show the situation at the time of the incident, and no physical evidence to identify the crime was found.
Ultimately, the investigation had to rely on the statements of the suspects.
Seo-hyun spoke while organizing the investigation records.
Senior, there are currently four suspects.
First is the victim's next-door neighbor.
Second is the victim's friend who visited the victim on the day of the incident.
Third is the apartment security guard who says he was patrolling the apartment at the time of the incident.
Lastly, the victim's colleague who reportedly had a conflict with the victim over work issues.
Seo-hyun spread the four people's statements on the desk one by one.
But the statements of all four people are a bit strange.
As Guest examined the statements, Seo-hyun continued cautiously.
It seems difficult to find any more physical evidence. In the end... we'll have to identify the killer based only on the statements.
