Episode 5

"I'm the Grim Reaper" is the Webtoon by GRAVEWEAVER. Scarlet follows Chase to the police department, where Chase demands access to a special file called "Case X".

Synopsis
Making their way through the city, Scarlet notes to herself that as Chase appears to be a detective, the police force would have to be insanely corrupt to hire someone who has broken moral code. She disregards the thought, knowing that it was to her advantage anyways. She then concludes that if he ever tried to turn on her, she would kill him, just like how she did with Jordan.

The two arrive at the police station, where everyone around the two starts to talk to each other in hushed voices. Scarlet takes into consideration that they could very well be looking at her and the odd clothing she was wearing. She then remembers that she is in a bad situation, due to the amount of people in the building, along with the fact that they were in the police station. The other civilians in the building gossip about Chase, saying that he should "not show his face", and that he is shameless to come back to the station. Chase asks for Scarlet to wait in the lobby so he can go organize his paperwork, which Scarlet accepts and sits next to a small child.

In front of the chief detective Veronica Carter's office, Chase announces that he's going in. Chief Carter is displeased to see him, asking about how the receptionist just let him waltz right in. She states that Chase is forbidden from the building, revealing a file labeled "Case X" under a large stack of books. Chase asks for access to Case X, much to Carter's surprise, but declines his request because he is no longer an official detective. Chase claims that this is exactly the reason why he needs access to the file, that no one had ever been able to solve it, and that he is the one who would get to the bottom of the case, once and for all. He demands the file so that he can solve it and prove himself as a valuable member of the police force.

Unsatisfied with this the chief explains that she had worked endlessly to cover up Chase's mishaps, and due to said mistakes, he was forbidden from showing his face in the office. Still standing stubbornly, Chase claims that this is a misunderstanding because the subject of Case X is sitting right outside the door. Carter is shocked, but reminds him that this is impossible. Enraged, Chase yells that the woman in Case X looked exactly like Scarlet, down to the minor details like the "x" shaped scar, pleading the chief for the file.

Annoyed by his actions, Carter exclaims that there is no "suspect" in Case X, only a victim; moreover, Case X is a file to discover the cause of the victim's death, as the body was in the morgue. Chase is devastated to hear this, begging for a chance to redeem himself by solving the case. Still irritated, Carter states that she wonders where he learned to fake cry, and hands him the file; nevertheless, she still stands by the claim that "Case X" does not exist, but he can start right then and there, as it was the case she'd picked out specifically for Chase.
