Jeong Yun-ho kills the mill owner, and Jae-kyung quickly deduces from the surrounding circumstances that the culprit had hidden in a taxi. However, he doesn't realize that the taxi driver is Yun-ho, his high school friend. 

Yun-ho boasts to Chi-hyun that he destroyed the CCTV footage. Still, Chi-hyun beats him up, questioning why he killed the mill owner when simply erasing the footage would have sufficed. Yun-ho, unaware that the mill owner handed a USB to Jae-kyung just before dying, assures Chi-hyun that Jae-kyung wouldn't have seen the CCTV footage. The CCTV had captured the "Inner Circle" friends passing by on the day Jun-seo died. 

Detective Inspector Yoo Kyung-hwan from the Violent Crimes Unit at Anhyeon Police Station reports the case details to Prosecutor Park Tae-jin. Tae-jin asks his friend Chi-hyun if he knows anything about the case, but Chi-hyun feigns ignorance. 

Jae-kyung, Joo-song, and Yun-jin track down the address of the company Audiophile. Instead of finding an office, they arrive at a shabby house where Min Hyun-woo, a high school student, is waiting for them. Hyun-woo lives with his grandmother and mentions that they received a lot of help from Jun-seo. 

Jae-kyung goes to Jun-seo's house, where Jun-seo's wife, Ji-yeon, helps him check the videos on Jun-seo's laptop. As he's about to leave, he encounters Tae-jin entering the house by punching in the password as if it were his own home. 

Thus ends episode 5 of “Connection.“
