Unraveling The Confusion Of The Billiard Hall Murders
As the summer draws to a close, the time has come to unravel the mystery behind the billiard hall murders and bid farewell to the residents of Angok. Yeo-reum grapples with the decision to leave or stay, especially as the Angok residents turn their backs on her. However, Dae-beom’s timely intervention sways the vote in favor of staying, leading to Yeo-reum accompanying him to his house after the billiard hall becomes off-limits.
Together, Dae-beom and Yeo-reum embark on a fresh investigation into Grandmother’s murder, setting aside any bias towards Geun-ho. Their exploration of the crime scene reveals a significant detail—the graffiti. Dae-beom questions how Geun-ho, who suffers from astigmatism and had lost his glasses before the murder, could have produced such clear graffiti. It becomes apparent that the real assailant was attempting to imitate Geun-ho.
As they ponder the identity of the killer, the unexpected appearance of the realtor, Mr. Kwak, raises suspicions. Despite his previous helpfulness and seemingly benign nature, the revelation of his purchase of the building triggers a sense of unease, prompting a reevaluation of his character in the search for the murderer.
