Yoona was welcomed by her Chief Prosecutor along with other recruits.

They were assigned their teams and the offices.

She got the team introduction...

She had an inspector... Inspector Choi, a middle-aged grumpy man...

An associate Miss Ji and an assistant Mr. Ahn

And most importantly she was handed over the first case of her life...

"It's a hit and run case... A 25-year woman died in the accident... Problem is we are unable to track down the exact car that might have hit the woman as the accident happened at a CCTV blind spot..." Chief was briefing her on her first case in her office... "We do have a witness a 50-year-old man who saw a silver Hyundai Sonata speeding to the sight of the accident few minutes ago from the sight of the accident... Here is the trickiest part... The gap between the time the accident happened to the time last CCTV camera is 30 minutes... And in those 30 minutes almost 40 silver Hyundai sonatas were captured in the CCTV entering the road where accident happened..." 

"Don't worry chief... We will do our best to bring the criminal to justice..." She sounded passionate exactly how a newcomer should sound...

"Now good luck, get to work and another thing before I forget about it... We are having a BBQ party tonight in the honor of our new prosecutors... Don't forget to join in... Dinner is on me..." Chief left the office after giving the invitation...

"Inspector Choi, can you please bring me the identities of the car owners who entered that road... Miss Ji please get me all the CCTV footage we have on the case... And Mr. Ahn please get me the CCTV footages from the adjacent routes as well, that will help us narrow down our culprit..." She instructed her team...

Within few minutes she was going through the identities of the car owners with CCTV footage playing on her laptop... Mr. Choi was standing right next to her rewatching the footage for like 50th time...

Inspector Choi scoffed... (These overenthusiastic newbies... Who think they can change the world now that they have taken charge of something...) He saw many people in his career taking charge as prosecutor, work passionately for a few months and then becoming a part of old rusty system...

"Pause..." She pointed towards the laptop screen... Mr. Choi paused the video...

"Here look, the only car slightly speeding is this one with the number plate 8529... Have you questioned him?" She was looking at Mr. Choi with question...

"We have questioned all 40 drivers but nothing significant came out of any of them..." Mr. Choi responded...

"Geomsa-nim (Miss Prosecutor) I got the footage for the adjacent routes..." Mr. Ahn was back with the USB.

"Great... Here strike out all the cars that used this route..." She handed him over the list with the cars' registration numbers...

"Aniiii... Geomsa-nim... don't you think you are making us work too hard on your first day... We can take it easy..." Associate Ji complained...

"Let's get over with this case fast..." Yoona responded.

There was a big case she was planning to opt... The one she worked so hard to become a prosecutor.

Striking out the vehicles based on different factors they were able to narrow down their search to 4 vehicles... Vehicle 8529 being one of them...

"Miss Ji please get the latest residence address to the owner of these vehicles... We are going to meet them..." She announced.
