Late one evening, Yang Choon Dong wanders down an alley to take a leak. Right next to him is a young guy (Kim Beom) with a hooded sweatshirt covering his face. The young guy appears to have finished spray painting graffiti on the wall. Yang Choon Dong begins chewing out the young guy for vandalism, when the young guy sprays Yang Choon Dong in the eyes and dissapears into the night.
Days later, the missing girl is found dead in a vacant lot. Yang Choon Dong is chewed out for not solving the case. During the evening news, Yang Choon Dong watches a report on the missing girl case. The news report shows the crime scene from a distance. A chill suddenly runs through Yang Choon Dong. He thinks back to the graffiti incident in the dark alley. The graffiti that guy painted perfectly depicted the crime scene where the missing girl was found. Yang Choon Dong becomes confused, because the graffiti was spray painted about a month before the girl's body was found. Yang Choon Dong begins to hunt for the guy who spray painted the graffiti.
