Open Case File · S1-ARC5-METER
Fasting
In the dead of a winter night, at the Seolun Metropolitan City pressure regulation station—where city gas pressure is reduced and regulated for safe distribution—external verification inspector Kim Jae-gwang (55) was found unconscious in the metering room and died at dawn. Cause of death: hypoglycemic coma. A Type 1 diabetic, he had been confined from around midnight for over five hours in the verification zone, legally mandated for meter inspection and sealing, and during that time consumed nothing but water. Interrogate the five people who remained at the station that night and find the culprit.

5 suspects
Hwang Byeong-chanMeter maintenance company representative (retired from pressure regulation station)A man in his sixties who spent 30 years in this industry and retired three years ago. Takes pride in the fact that people he trained still remain in the field, and constantly compares old methods with current ones during conversation. When criticized, his voice rises and his speech lengthens.
Lee Hyeon-taekNight pressure regulation and metering management officerA taciturn man in his forties with procedures ingrained in his body. Takes professional pride in doing exactly as taught. Never stands and argues with people; pauses briefly before answering difficult questions, then responds tersely. Says what happens during his shift is his responsibility.
Jang Su-hyeokPressure regulator equipment maintenance technicianAffable, quick-handed man in his late thirties. Tends to say more than asked and trip over his own words, so his initial statements waver. Has worked night shifts long enough to know people's movement patterns during night hours well.
Kwon Min-jaeCity gas company grievance and safety report officerA man in his late forties who speaks with documents in front of him. Has a habit of quoting regulation text verbatim, frequently says things are not his responsibility. Rarely evaluates people.
Lim So-hyeonVerification witness and shift handover log officerA woman in her mid-thirties who handles records. Strives to state times and sequences accurately, and prefaces uncertain things by saying they are uncertain. Extremely reluctant to speak ill of coworkers, so unfavorable information only emerges when asked.
