Author's POV:

"Mr. Seo Ki-hun, please start by telling us your motive behind this crime and who is the actual culprit behind the fraud", Yoongi said.

"I knew this day was coming. Ever since I closed that case, I haven't been able to get a good night sleep. Every day I just hoped that somebody will find out what I did and I will finally be free from all this burden. I will start from the beginning. I was suddenly put in charge of this big case of a big shot company. It turns out that someone from the organisation committed a financial fraud causing their stakeholders to lose millions of their investments. When I first started this case I was determined to see this through till the end. We have dealt with such cases before so we knew which path to follow. Our progress in investigation was pointing to a certain angle. I decided to look into it by myself. When I got in touch with that person, you won't believe but he accepted it straight to my face that he is the one behind all of this. I was so shocked to hear him confess his deeds. But something was not right, why would one just accept his crimes even though we aren't able to gather enough proof against him. Then he told me why he confessed in front of me. He had done all the required background research on me and my team. That's when I realised how powerful these rich people can really be. He knew that I was on verge of drowning completely in debts and he knew that I will hold on to any straw that comes my way. That's when he offered me the deal. He told me in detail how they have managed to forge youngest son's signatures on all those documents and how they had enough proof which can be used against him. All I had to do was present those proofs to public and put all the blame on the youngest son. I asked him what if the youngest son opens his mouth and rejects all the claims. He said he was pretty sure he won't be doing that. It was like he had something on the youngest son which will keep his mouth shut and accept the blames. In return he offered to free me from all debts and that he will help to secure my daughter's future. So for sake of my family, I decided to go ahead with the plan. I convinced my team for the same. So we destroyed all the orginal investigation that we conducted and replaced it with fake documents and proofs. We arrested him on the basis of those fabricated proofs. I thought that was the end of it", Ki-hun sighed.

"But it wasn't the end of it, right?", Yoongi asked.

Ki-hun shook his head and continued, "I never understood why the youngest son just accepted the blame without complaining. But all of a sudden one day I heard that he blackmailed that person that he will tell everyone that this fraud wasn't done by him and he will tell the world who the real culprit is. That's when I received the call from HIM again. I just wanted to leave that part of my life behind me. But when I received his call I knew something was wrong. He told me indirectly that if I didn't help him he will announce what kind of police officer I have been for this case. I was worried about my family. We just started settling in and news like this would have ruined it all. My daughter just started going to a good school. So I thought that I had no choice and decided to go ahead with it. I knew it was wrong but my hands were tied. These rich people never want to get their hands dirty, so of course they made me do the dirty work. When I visited him in his cell he smiled knowingly, as if he knew what was coming. I tried to convince him one last time to keep his mouth shut, but he was in no mood to listen to me. So I strangled him with the rope I brought and used the same rope to tie him up to the roof to make it seem like a suicide".
