On their way back, Jung-won comes across an article written by Woo-jae about a restraining order against Tae-heon.The police detective revealed that this was his advice to Woo-jae and told Jung-won to pay attention to her own safety.After the detective left, Zhengyuan stepped forward and hugged him from behind.She admits that she tried to suppress these feelings but ultimately failed.He moved closer to her and asked her to give him a minute.Then they kissed passionately.

After a while, Tae-heon visits Woo-jae and shows him Jung-won’s photo.He said the photos proved the existence of hidden cameras and suggested Zhengyuan was framed.He says Woo-jae is the only person he can turn to now.

Zhengyuan's thoughts drifted to Mou Xiulin, after whom Yinying's clinic was named.She goes to Mou Xiulin's cafe and talks about her relationship with Yoon Young.Zhengyuan lied that Yinying's alibi turned out to be false, and she was hiding in room 1401 where Euncai was killed.Mou Xiulin inadvertently reveals that she knows the layout of the room, but when Zhengyuan presses further, she lets Zhengyuan leave.Outside the store, Barron stared at Zhengyuan silently.

Back at the police station, Tae-hyun received a call from Jung-won.She told him that she suspected Mou Xiulin was related to the case.Later, Tae-heon talked with the police detective in charge of the Bongto factory fire case.The detective confirmed that Mou asked them not to report the second ignition during the fire.Meanwhile, the politician himself spoke to Kang In-Han, who revealed that Jung-won's show is about to be cancelled.

Zhengyuan suddenly received a text message from Zeus, which contained a series of photos on Mou Xiulin's mobile phone, including photos of Room 1401.Zhengyuan immediately informed Inhan of the incident, but was alertly aware that Mou Hengze had been secretly bribing him.Before leaving, In Han revealed that he had secretly operated to ensure that Jung Won would get three minutes of live time on TV.Jung-won carefully prepared her show and revealed her plan to Tae-heon.

While delving into Bongto's case files, Tae-heon discovered key evidence.However, when Zhengyuan's show started airing and she was about to reveal the truth, the studio suddenly cut off her live broadcast.Meanwhile, Tae-heon acted decisively and arrested Yoon-young for illegally prescribing propofol.This information was provided by Woo Jae.

Elsewhere, Mou Xiulin received an urgent notice requiring her to board a plane to New York immediately.At the same time, Tae-hyun interrogated Yoon-young and asked her if she had ever been to Room 1401.Yoon Young admitted that she had indeed been there and revealed that Woo Jae was there too.In the flashback, Eun-cae revealed the news of her pregnancy to Woo-jae, while Yoon-young chose to leave at the critical moment.

Yoon-young continues to lie to Tae-heon, but Woo-jae reveals the truth to the detective through the headset.Woo-jae explains that Yoon-young blackmailed him, threatening to reveal his affair unless he sent her away.Tae-heon then mentions Lee Na-ri, revealing Woo-jae's romance with her when they were in school.A flashback shows a young Woo-jae and Na-ri dating while Yoon-young angrily observes.

Tae-heon further hints that Yoon-young might be the mastermind behind all the murders committed by Moo Soo-rin.He noted that the two had been close friends since high school and accused them of being involved in the arson attack at the Bongto factory.At this time, Yoon Young mentioned Jung Won's photos, which had been hidden by Tae Heon, but Yoon Young officially mentioned them in the record.She also mentions the blood stains on Jung-won's sleeve, hinting at her guilt.Yoon-young confidently laughed and said that she had expected Woo-jae to do this, so the detectives found nothing when they searched her office.Later, Myung Soo confirmed this and told Tae Heon that the search indeed found nothing.

At the same time, Mou Xiulin, who was praying in the church, fell into memories.She thinks back to the day Eun-chae was murdered, when Yoon-young sat next to her and told her that Eun-chae suspected her and her father.Yoon-young warns that Eun-chae will expose their crimes in the Kim Myung-sook murder case and the Bongto fire.In order to solve the problem, Yin Ying gave Mou Xiulin a knife.
