Missing couple who went on a trip...The unsub's unexpected identity 'Shock'('Yonghyung4')
Brave Detectives 4 revealed the bare faces of the brazen criminals.

In the 6th episode of T-Cast E-Channel 'Brave Detectives4' (directed by Lee Ji-sun), which aired on the 18th, Detective Yoon Kyung-hee, former police officer of KCSI Yoon Oe-chul, and Inspector Kim Jin-soo made public the case they solved themselves.

The first case introduced on this day began with an urgent call to call an emergency car. After the class, the child went home and found someone wrapped in a blood-soaked blanket and asked a nearby relative for help. The man who was wrapped in the blanket was the child's father, who had already died. The victim was known to have been a terminal cancer patient, adding to the regret.



After seeing the scene, the investigation team speculated that it was a robbery murder or a crime disguised as a robbery. About 2,300 ex-convicts of the same kind were investigated at the same time as the surrounding people, but no suspects could be found. The investigation team paid attention to the yogurt delivery bag that was hung from door to door in 2004 when the incident occurred. When I asked a yogurt delivery lady who was delivering at dawn about the situation, she stated that she saw the victim's wife talking to two young men in an alley far from home on the day of the incident.

Amid the increased possibility of contract murder, the investigation team tracked the wife's six-month phone call details and movements, but no significant results were found. At the time, the youngest detective of the investigation team mentioned the possibility of using a public phone and found a record of calling the same number on a public phone on his wife's main route. The name of the number was said to be the number used by his younger brother, and it was confirmed that he was in constant contact with a man in the phone call history. In addition, at dawn on the day of the crime, the two men were caught at a mobile phone base station in the same area.



Eventually, the two men who were arrested stated that the victim's wife ordered the crime. The wife was found to have planned several murders of contractors for 10 months, adding to the shock. He claimed that his husband had domestic violence, but it turned out that he had been caught by his husband after cheating on him for six years. The wife was sentenced to life imprisonment, the two accomplices were sentenced to 15 years in prison, and the one who connected the accomplices was sentenced to four years in prison.

The case of KCSI was then introduced. The incident began with a report of his brother's disappearance that his sister and his wife, who were traveling to Jeju Island, did not return even after 15 days had passed and lost contact with him. Before losing contact, my sister texted me saying she was extending her schedule due to a stomachache or flight cancellation, adding to the question. However, it was confirmed that her sister's cell phone was found at home, and her credit card was paid at motels, restaurants, and entertainment establishments in Daegu, not Jeju Island.



The investigation team searched the entertainment establishment, and the employees of the establishment stated that a man in his 40s came and used the card. And when I showed the couple's picture, everyone pointed out her husband and shocked her. The husband reportedly told her that his wife died suddenly in a car accident while drinking liquor at an entertainment center, and that he collected a memorial tablet after putting on makeup.

As a result of checking her husband's communication records, there was a man in his 20s who had been in constant contact with him since he announced the news of the trip. The man said he met his husband by chance at a temple, and that he introduced himself as a legal professional and promised help to him studying for the exam, exchanging phone numbers. The wife's younger brother also thought that his brother-in-law was a family of legal professionals from a prestigious university, but this was all false.

The investigation team found the commonality of 'statue' in the entertainment establishment and the story of a man in his 20s, and headed to a temple in Gyeongju where a man in his 20s went. The husband recently said his wife died in an accident, and it was confirmed that he enshrined a plaque with his wife's name on the temple. As a result of tracking the husband's ID by checking the couple's PC, they were able to arrest him through the records of downloading the drama from a jjimjilbang in Gyeonggi-do.

The husband claimed that his wife expressed a lot of dissatisfaction with him and his family and demanded excessive alimony. He was found to have used his wife's card while visiting more than 10 entertainment establishments, and wasted 10 million won by receiving credit card cash services. My husband was actually a part-time job at a friend's shop, not a legal professional, and he was suffering from 'Ripley Syndrome' where everything was false.

Meanwhile, 'Brave Detectives4' airs every Friday night at 9:50 p.m. and is also released on major OTTs such as Netflix, TVing, and Wave. You can also find vivid news and videos about the program on the official E-channel YouTube and Instagram.
