action

Old Shim Deok-su owns some properties in the Ari-dong district. He's not very popular and is considered grumpy. He always reminds his tenants of the outstanding rent. Some are constantly in default. Suddenly the bodies of two elderly people are found. One apparently fell from the bridge, the other simply died of old age. In the evening Deok-su seeks out Mr. Choi, who used to be a police officer and did not pay the rent. While drinking together, Choi tells that the two dead old people remind him of a case from 30 years ago that was never solved. He firmly believes that the killer is back. He first killed old people to practice, and later kidnapped and killed young women with long, black hair.

Since Choi's apartment door is broken, Deok-su wants to replace the door handle and lock the next day. But in the morning Deok-su Choi found dead. It looks like suicide. Some residents of the district accuse Deok-su of driving him suicide because of arrears in rent. The other did not know anything about the friendly relationship between the two. The young Ji-eun also tells Deok-su that she will move. The day before he also asked her about the rent. Deok-su asks if she, too, thinks he is responsible for the death and is therefore moving out. But Ji-eun denies this. She always found Deok-su to be friendly. Even if after he keeps asking people who are in arrears about rent, he never threw anyone out.

When Ji-eun returns to her apartment that evening, her friend is dead. She is also attacked by a perpetrator. Deok-su wakes up from the blow, but he suspects that the two young women would just go through the night again. The next morning Deok-su meets the police officer Park Pyung-dal. He is looking for his friend Choi. Deok-su feels annoyed by him, but tells him that Choi is dead. Park then tells that there is a murderer in the area. This probably also murdered Choi. But the actual goal is young women. Deok-su is unsettled and both go to Ji-eun's apartment for safety. There they find a body dismembered in the refrigerator. There is no trace of Ji-eun. Park assumes a kidnapping. He advises against calling the police. You would have to solve the case without her. If the police were called, the perpetrator would kill Ji-eun immediately.
