The Last Auditor

Integrated Welfare and Health Review Council Central Building Integrated Review Wing · late winter night

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.

  • Ji Han-byeol
  • Park Sang-woo
  • Choi Do-kyeong
  • Kim Seok-jung
  • Tak Do-hyeon

5 suspects

  • Ji 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.
  • Park 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.
  • Choi 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.
  • Kim 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.'
  • Tak 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.'

Exhibits

  • Employee Emergency Response Guideline Card

    The issuance and final approval fields at the bottom of the card are both filled. Formally, it appears to be an official card with complete approval.

  • Emergency Response Record

    Treatments administered to the collapsed Cho Yun-cheol are recorded in chronological order. Emergency drug administration time and basic vital signs like pulse and blood pressure are documented.

  • Late-Night Building Access and CCTV Records

    At the estimated time of death, only two people remained on the central floor of the Integrated Review Wing: Cho Yun-cheol and Tak Do-hyeon. Facilities manager Choi Do-kyeong remained in the lower-floor management office after his 22:40 patrol.
