J: State your name and occupation

H: Lim Hyunsong, spin doctor for Yoon Jongok

J: You were caught, at the scene, smothering student Young Jiyeon. Did you murder the other five victims in the case of the Pine Mural Murders?

[...]

H: ...No.

J: Did you?

H: I want my lawyer here if I am to talk about this.

J:  Did Yoon Jongok request you to kill the victim last night?

[...]

H:  He... believes there are people who know too much in town.

J: The pine murals? Why pine murals? You only killed people who had been part of Pine Readers. A warning?

H: Partially.

[...]

Of course, none of them was clever enough to actually understand the warning, no one stopped reading the book. No one stopped talking over themselves.

J: You had a list of victims... people that needed to be killed in a specific order. Last night's victim was only just accepted into the book club. You have someone on the inside. Who?

H: I didn't make the list.

J: No, but you know when it was made and how it was made. Someone planned for last night's victim to get accepted into that book club, read that exposé. Who?

H: The list was only made of predictable events.

[...]
 It was clear she would start writing articles on it if she read the book.

J: Then why let her?

[...]

H: I'm not sure.

J: Why didn't you try and kill her in the same way as everyone else?

H:  They never fought back, she did. She was difficult. Had I had a stone I would've bashed her head in.

J: And that's just about enough evidence that you killed the other five, thank you.
