A young son is talking on the phone with his deceased grandfather, causing his parents to worry. Is this merely a game created by the child to alleviate loneliness? Or is there really something wrong with his mental state? Or, is there a hidden, unspoken purpose behind all of this? A man shoots himself in front of the one he loves! In the face of such a brutal reality, the detective is only interested in one thing: whether he used a revolver or a semi-automatic pistol. Is that really important? For the detective, it is. This fact will determine whether the person's death was suicide or an accident. The vampire park is about to open, and at the same time, the body of a real estate developer is thrown onto the road, with a wound on his throat and no blood in his body. It seems that the ancient horror story is today, but are there really vampires? An elderly woman living alone in a building is being harassed by a thief. The thief is bold enough to visit every night, and the elderly woman's valuables are constantly stolen. The doors and windows are all locked, so how is the thief getting in? Once this question is solved, catching the thief will be as easy as pie.
