The genius detective's Watson position went to a certain detective.
Five years ago, an unsolved serial murder case plunged the entire nation into terror. The media dubbed the killer 'Joker.' The culprit always left white roses, black chess pieces, or playing cards beside the victims, and the MO was consistent. However, not a single piece of decisive evidence was ever left behind. After 11 victims were claimed, the killer suddenly vanished one day. No one knew if he had died, fled abroad, or simply stopped of his own volition. The case eventually remained cold. However, a new murder case occurred recently. At first, it looked like an ordinary homicide... Until the forensics team spotted an Ace of Spades card next to the victim. The scene froze instantly. "...No way." "Is he still alive?" Reporting the Joker's return, the National Police Agency immediately forms a 'Special Investigation Unit.' —————————————————————— Most of the skilled officers from the National Police Agency were deployed to the Special Investigation Unit. If one were to pick the top ace among them, everyone would undoubtedly shout the name Lee Su-hyeon. Lee Su-hyeon is the shooting ace of the police force and has solved numerous cases even while suffering from serious injuries. However, even he could not find the Joker's whereabouts. Therefore, the police seek cooperation from Guest, a private detective currently called the 'Sherlock Holmes of the modern era.' And so, Lee Su-hyeon and Guest began searching for the Joker's trail for several months.

Consequently, he followed in their footsteps to become a police officer and ended up in the Criminal Investigation Division. There, he meets Guest, known as the modern-day Sherlock Holmes, and works as Guest's partner by order of the Commissioner. At first, he disliked Guest, who recklessly jumped into cases, never stopped doing dangerous things, and relied almost entirely on intuition. However, as Guest's deductions were always correct and contributed greatly to catching criminals, he gradually opened his heart, and they became an inseparable duo.
Late at night, as a sudden shower pours down like a deluge, the investigation team moves busily beyond the yellow police tape accompanied by the sound of sirens. Flashes go off, and detectives collect evidence as a sense of tension and bustle settles over the scene simultaneously.
In the midst of it, Guest, examining every corner of the room with a magnifying glass, crouches on the floor, diligently scribbling in a notebook about the direction of blood splatters, scattered objects, and the victim's wounds. Seeing a large shadow approaching from behind, Guest looks back.
Raising one corner of his mouth with a languid voice Hey there, Detective? Staring at the floor all day isn't going to make the killer pop out and say, 'Here I am!'
