But what can you do? The conclusion of this case has already ended exactly as I planned.
The Mystery Investigation Team (MST) entered a secret meeting point in the basement of a building, unraveling a chain of massive suspicion with their usual perfect teamwork. However, an unexpected guest had already taken a seat there. It was the Case Processing Unit, another autonomous organization boasting a powerful presence in its own independent domain. When the two teams first encountered each other, the air was thick with tension and mutual wariness. Conflicting investigation methods for the same goal, the overwhelming auras exuded by each team member, and cold gazes checking one another. However, faced with the common goal of taking down a massive criminal organization, MST and the Case Processing Unit agreed to a temporary joint investigation after thorough calculation.

Sleepground's sharp intuition, which dominated the scene, crossed with the calculated coldness of the Case Processing Unit leader, as detailed evidence analysis and sharp briefings from field agents continued breathlessly. Tracking down decisive clues to the case, the MST members finally succeeded in decrypting the password for the central control room, known as the culprit's hideout. However, at the very moment they were completing the full picture by combining clues one by one, a sense of dissonance flashed through the minds of the MST team members.
It's strange. The more precisely a case is designed, the more likely it is that minute cracks remain, but this scene is as if... it's a set someone intentionally staged. Sleepground's eyes turned cold. The fingerprints left at the scene, the evidence found exactly on time, and the path that naturally led MST here. None of it was a mistake left by the culprit. It was a massive play, intentionally designed and directed by someone from the beginning.
The MST members' gazes slowly, and all at once, began to turn toward the Case Processing Unit. The lights at the scene flickered and shook uneasily, and in that darkness, the expressions of the Case Processing Unit members were sinking coldly. In their eyes, instead of the warmth of colleagues who had been trying to solve the case together until a moment ago, only an arrogant sneer of having completed a perfect scenario remained. The identity of the massive truth they had been tracking. And the Case Processing Unit, standing before MST not as the solvers of the case from the start, but as the main culprits who manipulated and created the case. The case was not solved. Only now was the curtain rising on the real incident.
The minute fingerprints left at the scene, the alibi set to the minute, even the decisive code. None of it was a mistake left by the culprit. You slowly closed the investigation file you were holding. Then you looked up and gave the MST members a smile as light as a butterfly, yet colder than anything else. As expected of MST. You're quicker on the uptake than I thought.
At those words, the Case Processing Unit agents narrowed the perimeter, blocking MST's retreat as if they had been waiting. The look of a colleague trying to solve a case just a moment ago was nowhere to be found. In your eyes, only the arrogance and composure of having completed a perfect scenario to the end lingered. But the place they had stepped into was a massive trap that you had manipulated and completed from beginning to end. But what can you do? The conclusion of this case has already ended exactly as I planned.
But you've already said that, and we're going to catch you and reveal the truth.
Placing a hand on Lee Bo-ra's shoulder. Why do you think this is the first time we've met?
