GhostedEpisode 15:

After closing the case Yoo Ji finally has some time off, and Gwang Nam was still in the city and not off somewhere on a top-secret mission so they took the time to finally have a second date. Hopefully, this one won't get interrupted, Yoo Ji and Gwang Nam had decided on an at-home date for this time, mostly because it was too cold for them to go out. So Yoo Ji set up her small dining table, she bought alcohol and some snacks.

Gwang Nam knocked on her front door, he looked around, noting that it was a relatively small neighborhood, it looked safe. He assessed the danger level of the neighborhood just in case. Yoo Ji opened the door so that he could step inside, she has a cozy place, a little small for his taste but she decorated it very appropriately.

Gwang Nam mentally chuckled, Yoo Ji's apartment is exactly what you expect from her. Her walls were painted a dark gray. She had dark interior decor, it was a studio apartment, so it was small, Yoo Ji also had decided that she didn't need doors, and all the rooms except the bathroom to be all open to each other. There was a wall with a window separating the kitchen from her living room and her bed was behind the couch. There was a small patio that looked out into the darkening night and to her street. It had two chairs and a small glass table where she had some cactuses.

"No doors?" Gwang Nam said with a teasing tone as he set the takeout he had picked up before he made his way to her address.

"Unnecessary obstacles in my way" Yoo Ji dismissed with a small smile on her face.

"What did doors ever do to you?" Gwang Nam said settling down on the couch, looking at Yoo Ji setting the utensils on the rectangular marble table.

"They were in my way," Yoo Ji joked as she opened the take out boxes of fried chicken.

"What did you slam into them so often that you decided to take them all off with your walls?"

"I am not known for my great foot to eye coordination." Yoo Ji chuckled as she handed Gwang Nam a plate of sweet and sour fried chicken. He nodded and thanked her while laughing softly at her comment.

"How's your case? Did you solve it?" Gwang Nam asked. He hadn't seen her since Shi Jin was in the hospital.

"it was an accident, remember how you said that it might've been an accident? Well, you were right, partly" Yoo Ji started, "it was pretty interesting, I missed the detail the first time I looked at his medical records, the victim had a congenital disease that he was born with, but it wasn't specified in the subcategory."

"We know for a fact that the two suspects are involved with insurance fraud, but they both don't fit the profile of a murderer," she paused.

"Lee Eun Yong is too timid and has anxiety-related illnesses so she wouldn't fit the murder, because we knew that it was blunt force trauma to the back of the head. Shin Young Won didn't fit the profile because of similar reasons and the victim would easily overpower him in a fight because of his small stature so we ruled out the chance that Shin Young Won hit him hard enough to dismantle or even kill him altogether"

"So how did he die? A third suspect?" Gwang Nam asked, tilting his head.

"Nope, it was an accident," Gwang Nam raised an eyebrow, Yoo Ji's eyes twinkled as she explained her case.

"During our investigation, we found out that Lee Eun Yong helped Young Won get insurance payouts from companies by conning them into thinking he was a relative of the deceased, Lee Eun Yong worked in a nursing home, and we know Shin Young Won does the burials for free, so we know that she gives him the necessary information to fake his alleged relativeness."
