Episode Four:

Chaeyoung's husband trembled, unsure of what to do. Collapsing to the floor, tears streamed down his face. "The pressure at work, the constant bullying from my boss, the extra hours demanded of me," he confessed. Kim Sujin, in disbelief, questioned, "And what does that have to do with your right to harm your wife?"

The husband explained, "Chaeyoung was my boss's first love. After we met, we got married, but he couldn't let go of his feelings for her. It infuriated me. The work pressure became unbearable. I found myself begging everyone for money just to maintain a decent life."

The weight of his struggles and the tangled web of emotions cast a shadow over their troubled relationship.

Kim Sujin fixed a piercing gaze on him, judgment evident in his eyes. "Lee Chaeyoung is dead. She's no longer here, and someone targeted her for a reason. Do you have anything else to mention?" The husband, visibly nervous, appeared to be concealing something.

With a stern tone, Kim Sujin pressed further, "I think you're hiding a lot of things." The husband, desperate to deflect, insisted, "No, my wife is dead. Can you please leave my house? I've told you everything."

Ignoring him, Kim Sujin warned, "Don't even think about escaping. You can't leave the country, sir." Slamming the door behind him, he left the husband uneasy. Outside, he pondered the situation. A glimmer of hope caught his eye – a security camera for their building. Determined, he approached the building's security, requesting access to the camera records.
