[Spoiler] "Queen of Mystery 2" Investigates 9-year-old Arsonist

On the latest episode of the KBS 2TV drama "Queen of Mystery 2", Yoo Seol-ok (Choi Kang-hee) and Ha Wan-seung (Kwon Sang-woo) found out that elementary schooler Won-jae (Park Min-su) was an arsonist copycat.

Seol-ok and Wan-seung couldn't prevent Won-jae from starting another fire. The victim was the mother of his friend from school and she had to live with a scar that was caused by a glass bottle lit on fire thrown from the roof of a building. Her daughter Ye-na had no one to take care of her and had to go to an orphanage.

Won-jae's father was a successful lawyer and his mother was a member of the school committee and a pharmacist so everyone was careful around them. They knew what Won-jae had done, but they claimed he was just doing a science experiment from the book and he'd never caused a fire before. The problem was that Won-jae was only 9-years-old and protected by the law.

Seol-ok was motivated by Wan-seung who said, "If a detective gives up, the world gives up. We're the only thing poor victims have left". Seol-ok tried to solve the case based on school rules. Jung Hee-yeon (Lee Da-hee) also helped. Wan-seung got a confession from Won-jae and the principal said she would have him do community service at the hospital. At the hospital, he ran into Ye-na who recalled her mother buying her strawberries and someone lighting a fire and had a fit.

When Won-jae found out that it was Ye-na's mother that he'd hurt, he cried saying, "What if Ye-na doesn't forgive me for what I did when we grow up? I'm so scared". After his community hours were done, Won-jae carried out more community work with his parents.

The eldest son of the law firm Ha and Jung and Ha Wan-seung's brother, Ha Ji-seung (Kim Tae-woo), appeared at their father Ha Jae-ho's (Jang Gwang) inauguration together.

Meanwhile, Seol-ok claimed she didn't want to be an honorary officer. Hee-yeon's expression changed; she'd carried a cake box full of cash when she went to meet Won-jae's headmaster.
