What are the details of "Memories of Murder" worth paying attention to?

Why did the director arrange for the man with the toolbox (let's say he was holding a toolbox) to appear? Who is he? Why can he be here at this time? What has he come to do? The two policemen didn't look at him from the time he came in and out. The man was wearing the same clothes as those on the construction site. This man looked quite young, a young man with a pair of gloves. When he entered the door, he carried the toolbox with his right hand, and when he went out, he carried the toolbox with the left. From the time he entered the door to the time he went out, he never saw him open the toolbox and use the contents inside. As far as the plot is concerned, this person is irrelevant. If it is said that this person is of no use, why does the director need to do this?
