**"His Deduction (part 1)"** is the sixty-sixth released episode of My Deepest Secret by Hanza Art. News of Sophie's stabbing incident and Emma's kidnapping has spread since the university field trip. As Yohan is brought into the police station to identify a suspect in the investigation, he inquires Detective Kayla about her perspective on defying the law.

## Synopsis

Several days following the university field trip, news of the incident has spread across the internet. Alarmed, H. University students immerse themselves in fervent discussions about the scandals involving their fellow schoolmates. One student has been stabbed by a mysterious perpetrator who has yet to be caught, while another has been kidnapped. Nura stands in the doorway of her home, scrolling through the online comments her classmates have been posting. While several commenters have speculated that the same perpetrator committed both crimes, others conjecture that the student who disappeared willingly left with the kidnapper. A police officer thanks Nura for cooperating with the investigation and bids her farewell. Nura stares at her phone in concern, barely noticing as her younger siblings attempt to gain her attention.

At the police station, Yohan slams his desk on a police officer's desk. He yells in frustration, demanding to know why Emma has not been located after days of searching. The officer raises one eyebrow in skepticism and asks why Yohan is certain that Emma has been kidnapped in the first place. Enraged, Yohan seizes the officer by the front of his shirt. Before he can do anything, a hand grabs Yohan by his hood and flings him backward against a wall. Yohan slams loudly against into a bench and looks up to see Yojoong and Kayla standing over him. With a solemn expression, Yojoong cautions his nephew against attacking an officer, reminding him that yelling will not aid the investigation in any manner. Yojoong sighs and asks why the usually composed Yohan is suddenly so emotional.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Yohan confesses that he is at fault for abandoning Emma despite knowing that she was in possible danger. As he apologizes for acting out of anger and frustration, Yojoong receives a phone call. Yojoong listens briefly before asking Kayla to follow him out of the room. Once they are out of earshot, Yojoong confides with her that the suspect has been apprehended and brought into the station. He instructs her to wait until Yohan has calmed his emotions before bringing him to the lineup for identification.

Kayla returns to Yohan with a cup of water and asks if he has calmed down. Yohan pauses, his grip tightening around his cup. In a serious voice, he asks if Kayla is willing to commit a felony in order to do accomplish a once-in-a-lifetime goal. Surprised by the direction of the conversation, Kayla explains that since it is her job as a police detective to uphold the law, she will refrain from committing such a crime. Depending on the circumstances, however, she admits that there is a slim possibility she may disregard her career and abandon everything to accomplish the goal. Kayla smiles and states that it is inevitably within human nature to be selfish. After listening carefully, Yohan finishes his water and follows Kayla to the lineup.

Inside the room, a group of people are lined up in a single file line against the wall. As Yohan peers through the one-way glass, he notices a figure at the end of the line wearing a black hoodie. After a moment of hesitation, Yohan identifies the man as the hooded figure who attacked him at the abandoned warehouse. Yojoong nods and instructs his officers to take the man into an interrogation room while Kayla escorts Yohan away. Once they reach the hallway, Yohan heads toward the exit. As Kayla asks where he intends to go, Yohan states that he is going home. Once outside, he glances back at the police station with an unreadable expression on his face. Yohan then slaps his cheeks in determination and begins to run.
