Into the book
A moment when I saw a similar corpse when I was younger and wiser came flooding back to me.
Se-Hyeon left the autopsy room with back steps.
He ran, leaving his bloody gloves and scrubs in a mess on the floor.
Crumbs fell from the marks where memories were layered on top of memories, and a pile of dust piled up on the footprints Se-hyeon left behind as he ran away.
--- p.20~21
Se-Hyeon was still confident that he could recite the order of his favorite songs in his head without making a single mistake.
When cutting, always insert the blade at a right angle, use your hands when removing, and peel off the skin as soon as it is visible.
Jo Gyun was a serial killer who killed people, and Se-hyeon was his daughter who cleaned up his corpses.
--- p.36
The raindrops that had been falling thinly began to fall in large drops.
Now that I look at it, Se-Hyeon was living in a place that was perfect for hiding a body.
Se-hyeon, who was quietly looking at the corpse piled up in the raincoat, burst out laughing without realizing it.
Things have become a hassle.
However, I had no intention of just letting the police catch Jo Gyun like this.
I vowed that the next time I met him, I would definitely kill him.
--- p.60
“And then there was the smell.
I didn't know when I was young, but I understood when I grew up.
That person smells like other people's bodily fluids mixed together.
On a hot summer day like today, it smells like the smell of spoiled white milk left outside.
“It was a pungent smell that made my nose tingle, and once I got it, it was so strong that it seeped into my skin.”
--- p.155
So, if one more body is found, the future situation could easily turn in Se-hyeon's favor.
If it were Jeong-Hyeon, the dismembered corpse from the past would be buried in the back of his mind and he would be obsessed with investigating the corpse that was discovered immediately.
Se-hyeon got up from his seat and walked over to Jeong-hyeon, who had just finished his call in a hurry.
Hoping that he would continue to be fooled like this, that he would wander around without knowing anything, I brushed off the raindrops from Jeong-Hyeon's shoulder.
--- p.207
(Omitted) The image of Se-hyeon, who had said without hesitation that he had chosen to become a medical examiner out of a sense of justice and mission, flashed through my mind.
The sound of gravel crunching under the car's wheels was so chilling that it made my hair stand on end.
When he turned his head, the glaring sunlight fell directly onto Jeong-Hyeon's eyes.
Jeong-Hyeon rubbed his eyes to wake up from his dazed state.
--- p.231~232
“I came because I had something to ask you.”
Se-hyeon answered calmly to Jeong-hyeon's calm voice.
“Ask.”
“Do you have any information about the unsolved case that you are hiding?”
Se-Hyeon burst out laughing before he could finish speaking.
There were countless things I hid from him.
“I want to believe in Manager Seo.
So if you know anything, please let me know first.
Then I… … .”
"Why do you doubt me? I'm only guilty of accepting the former detective's excuse for his past wrongdoings."

Publisher's Review
“He was a serial killer who killed people, and I was the daughter who cleaned up his corpses.”
A woman who chases a murderer to keep a secret.
A serial murder case that occurred in the small city of Yongcheon.
This incident, in which the body was cut up and sewn together, received media attention and was called the 'Tailor Murder Case'.
While performing an autopsy on the body, forensic scientist Se-Hyeon realizes that the culprit of this case is Jo Gyun, the father he killed in the past.
Se-hyeon, who senses that if Jo-gyun is caught and revealed to be the murderer's daughter, she will not only not be able to advance in her career but will also not be able to work as a medical examiner, decides to find him and kill him before the police do.
He is confident that he knows everything about the bacteria, but he is left bewildered when it doesn't move as he expected.
To make matters worse, he finds out that even Jeong-hyeon, who knew Jo-gyun in the past, is suspicious of him.
Will Se-hyeon be able to find Jo-gyun faster than Jeong-hyeon without revealing the secret?
“People said that.
Even if a person dies, the culprit won't be caught.
“It’s really strange.”
A man chasing a murderer due to past guilt.
Jeong-Hyeon, who has just become the head of the violent crimes unit at Yongcheon Police Station, is assigned to the 'tailor murder case', which has no evidence or witnesses.
As Jeong-Hyeon investigates the case, he is reminded of the murderer he saw as a child, and begins to investigate past unsolved cases.
The members of the violent crimes team, who are trying to quietly bury the case, are displeased with Jeong-hyeon, and Jeong-hyeon has difficulty investigating the case.
Only the medical examiner Se-Hyeon gives strength to Jeong-Hyeon.
Jeong-hyeon gradually begins to trust and rely on Se-hyeon, and even begins to feel affection for him.
But the more he investigates the case, the closer he gets to the secret Se-hyeon has been hiding, and he begins to suspect her.
Was Se-hyeon sincere in his desire to catch the real culprit? Was he truly unrelated to the serial murders?
'Why do you think that happened?'
A poignant question to those who judge 'good and evil'!
"The Hunter with a Scalpel" begins its story by revealing the identity of the murderer.
Se-Hyeon is a person who does not hesitate to use any means necessary to achieve success.
She pursues the serial killer Jo Gyun only for herself.
Se-hyeon meets Jeong-hyeon.
Jeong-hyeon struggles to catch Jo-gyun, whom he met by chance 21 years ago, dedicating everything to his life.
Se-hyeon doesn't understand Jeong-hyeon, who is the complete opposite of him.
But as time passes, his pure justice and genuine affection for her begin to stir emotions.
Does absolute "good and evil" exist? This question has persisted since time immemorial.
Se-Hyeon considers himself a 'sociopath' who cannot empathize with the feelings or pain of others.
So she considers being a medical examiner, dealing with the dead all day, to be her calling.
However, an unknown problem called Jeong-Hyeon appears in front of Se-Hyeon.
Jeong-hyeon always shows honest and affectionate feelings to Se-hyeon.
Se-hyeon, who had been able to understand human emotions with his head, gradually finds himself unable to wear a mask in front of Jeong-hyeon.
Watching Se-hyeon get angry, laugh, and cry, can we confidently declare her a sociopath? Can we now readily answer whether she's a good person or a bad person?
