Open Case File · S1-ARC1-META

The Last Auditor

Cho Yun-cheol, an ethics auditor who scrutinized whether procedures followed regulations at the Integrated Welfare and Health Review Council, collapsed from acute cardiac arrest late one winter night in the Central Building's Integrated Review Wing and died. Emergency response followed protocol, but he was administered a drug contraindicated for his heart condition, and no transfer to a cardiac specialist hospital occurred. Only a handful of people remained on that floor at the time of death. Interrogate the five remaining individuals and determine who led him to his death.

5 suspects

  • Kim Seok-jungKim Seok-jungCEO of disposition form electronic management contractorA man in his fifties who staked his entire company on the Council IT contract. His voice rises defensively whenever contracts are mentioned. He draws a line saying 'I only ran the system, never got involved in decisions.'
  • Park Sang-wooPark Sang-wooDeliberation Support Team StaffA meticulous thirties practitioner who scrutinizes regulations and document flow. When asked about responsibility, he deflects saying 'I only received and distributed.' He states facts accurately when asked.
  • Tak Do-hyeonTak Do-hyeonCouncil Standing Deliberation Officer and Standard Disposition Form Review Committee ChairA colorless administrator who calls death 'disposition' or 'case closure.' Never raises his voice, and throughout conversations aligns document corners with his fingertips. His catchphrase is 'I only manage regulations, I don't intervene in the field.'
  • Ji Han-byeolJi Han-byeolCouncil Audit Support and Appeal Processing DirectorForties who leads with procedures and reception ledgers. Repeats 'I received it and forwarded it upward,' deflecting processing delays to others' responsibility.
  • Choi Do-kyeongChoi Do-kyeongNight Facilities ManagerForties in charge of building night patrol and lock management. When asked who remained at that hour, answers precisely based on roster and CCTV.
