One year after the incident.

The detectives gathered their information
and decided to take action.

The police arrested Dr. Gum-San at his hospital office,
they brought him back to the station for questioning.

Maybe, they could get a confession out of him!

     [~~~~~~]

[--GUM-SAN (DR.)]
“Detective. Why did you arrest me? In front of my colleagues even!? What did I do?”

[DETECTIVE]
“Dr. Gum-San. In our investigations, we discovered you had been quoting a price for ‘CO’. Your wife and daughter died from ‘CO’. Could you care to explain the timing?”

[--GUM-SAN]
“My lab bought ‘CO’ purely for a university experiment. I don’t know what you’re trying to suggest.”

[DETECTIVE]
“After the experiments were finished, did you have any ‘CO’ left over?”

[--GUM-SAN]
“It’s been what, a year since I did that experiment. I don’t really remember.”

[DETECTIVE]
“Dr. Gum-San. According to eye witness Mr. Chow, your lab assistant, he claimed he saw you fill TWO Yoga Balls with the ‘CO’ you had. One blue. One silver. Tell us, where did those Yoga Ball go afterwards?”

[--GUM-SAN]
“...Ooooh Right. Yes. I am starting to remember now. You see, my house had a rat infestation at the time.”

[DETECTIVE]
“...Excuse me?”

[--GUM-SAN]
“I had thought of using the left over ‘CO’ from the lab, to get rid of the rats plaguing my house over the weekend. The Blue Yoga ball had a leak, so I had to empty it out and threw it away as it was no longer usable. Then I brought the Silver Yoga Ball back home, storing it in our fitness room.”

[DETECTIVE]
“...You brought back poison gas – to your home!?”

[--GUM-SAN]
“Oh pleaaase. Detective. I am a doctor and scientist for many years, I knew what I was doing and I have the experience.”

[DETECTIVE]
“D-did you run into anyone when you came back home? Did anyone witness your claim?”

[--GUM-SAN]
“...My daughter, Lily. Just as I brought back the Silver Ball to the fitness room, Lily walked out from her room and saw me. I explained to her, very carefully, this Yoga Ball was filled with ‘CO’ – very lethal – and I was going to use it to kill the rats in our home over the weekend. After that, she was very happy about it and went right back to sleep.”

[DETECTIVE]
“...Pardon me but – WHO in their right mind would be happy to have poison gas brought back to their home AND be able to sleep on it!? It’s no different than having a bomb sitting in the living room couch—Why would your daughter be happy after hearing all that?”

[--GUM-SAN]
“She really hated rats.”

[DETECTIVE]
“...On the day we found your wife Sui-Fan and daughter Lily dead in their Mini Cooper, there was a deflated Yoga Ball in the back of the Mini Cooper’s trunk. Silver colored. Why is that?”

[--GUM-SAN]
"..."

[DETECTIVE]
“Dr. Gum-San. Are you the murderer?”
