Professor Seo's Wife Believes Han Joon Hwi Killed his Uncle

The plot thickens every episode as "Law School" episode 3 presents a shocking turn of events for professor Yang Jong Hoon (Kim Myung Min.)

Episode 2 left off hinting that Han Joon Hwi (Kim Bum) was the true culprit behind professor Seo Byeong Joo's (Ahn Nae Sang) death.

Now, all eyes are on Han Joon Hwi after being painted as the possible suspect behind the death of his uncle. Professor Seo's wife believes that the first-year law student had all the reasons to kill her husband, and to prove it, she approved the second autopsy request by professor Yang.

Was the Murder Related to Han Joon Hwi's Inheritance from Professor Seo?

Ahead of the second autopsy, Seo Byeong Joo's wife visited Yang Jong Hoon in prison and spoke about her nephew.

She tells the prosecutor turned law professor that Han Joon Hwi killed her husband and was no doubt about it. She then explained that he wanted his inheritance early.

All the Evidence Points to Han Joon Hwi

Right after professor Seo's wife visited, Kang Sol A (Ryu Hye Young) and Seo Ji Ho (Lee David) went to see Yang Jong Hoon.

Sol A confirmed to the law professor that Lee Man-ho has a solid alibi at the time of professor Seo's uurder, as seen on his tracking device. The case now points to Han Joon-hwi after Seo Ji Ho mentioned that he found the late professor's missing glasses under his bed.

Now, the investigators questioned the first-year law student and asked if he killed his uncle. He replied with a smirk and said that if he is the culprit, they will have to let Yang Jong Hoon go.

Professor Yang Jong Hoon Attacked in Prison

"Law School" episode 3 also featured a devastating situation for professor Yang.

While in the shower room, he was attacked and brutally stabbed by a man he put behind prison when he was a prosecutor.

He was immediately rushed to the hospital but ended up in critical condition.

The doctors told his colleague Kim Eun Suk (Lee Jung Eun), who was also with Han Joon Hwi and Seung Jae, that his blood pressure is slowly dropping and he needs to find a blood donor. Unfortunately, professor Yang has O is Rh-negative, which is a rare blood type.

"Law School" episode 3 ends with Han Joon Hwi choosing whether to save the law professor or not.

It came after Lee Man Ho (Jo Jae Ryong) called him and told the law student that he can save his life. It appears that he has the same blood type as professor Yang.

He then leaves Han Joon Hwi with an option to save the prosecutor-turned professor but wonders who would benefit from his death, adding that if Han Joon Hwi benefits from it, then he will not donate his blood.

Surprisingly, he tells the man not to give blood, making professor Yang on the verge of his death.
