In the Channel A real-life detective drama "The Detectives' Business Secrets," the "Dokkaebi Detective Team" obtained a "waiver of parental rights consent form" from the birth mother who disappeared after leaving two children behind. Additionally, guest Ailee, known as the "April bride," was horrified by the shocking true story of a mother who was "exploiting the unborn child."

In the episode aired on 17th, the "Dokkaebi Detective Team" separated from two children after being reported for child abuse and then set out to find the birth mother, who had lost contact for several years. The birth mother's sister came forward as the client, requesting, "Please find my missing sister and obtain the waiver of parental rights consent form for the two children." The detective team investigated a factory complex presumed to be where the mother worked based on information provided by the children's grandmother. As a result, the "Dokkaebi Detective Team" visited an apartment complex that is presumed to be the place where the mother recently moved.

In the heavy snowfall, the detectives in hiding finally found the birth mother and attempted to speak with her, saying, "Your mother-in-law and sister are worried." The birth mother, who responded to the conversation, expressed guilt about abandoning her young children and being reported for child abuse, saying, "My husband passed away unexpectedly, and it was the hardest time in my life, so it was hard to cope." She also stated, "I want to make an effort to live together before my second child enters high school," indicating that she is now trying to get her act together to be with her children.

The "Dokkaebi Detective Team" then brought up the original purpose of the request, which was the "waiver of parental rights consent form." The detective team emphasized to the birth mother that "there are situations where legal decisions are needed as the children grow," and explained that for the grandparents who are actually raising the children to exercise parental rights, the birth mother's "waiver of parental rights consent form" would be a significant help. The birth mother agreed to the waiver for the children's sake and conveyed her remorse for her mother-in-law and sister as well. Upon receiving the "waiver of parental rights consent form," the mother-in-law expressed affectionate concern, saying, "I will take full responsibility for the children, so I hope my daughter-in-law meets someone nice and gets married and lives well." Although the situation is difficult, the request for assistance from the "Dokkaebi Detective Team" concluded with the family confirming their affection for one another.

Meanwhile, in the true story reconstruction segment "Case Notebook - One Day, Suddenly," guest Ailee, who is set to marry in April, joined the show. The client, a high school teacher, suspected her husband, a university professor, of infidelity and sought out the detective agency. The client shared that she had dated her husband for 10 years since college and that they were enjoying an overwhelmingly happy marriage of 10 years. However, while living as a weekend couple due to work issues, she became suspicious when her husband started lying and displaying unusual behavior.

The detective followed the husband's movements. He discovered that the husband had borrowed a considerable amount of money from acquaintances and seemed to be struggling financially, even working as a substitute driver after his classes. Additionally, the detective captured footage of the husband handing money to a high school girl. Eventually, the client confronted her husband directly, asking what was going on. The husband confessed, "I accidentally spent a night with a part-time worker from a PC bang 17 years ago." He had forgotten about the incident since then, and the part-time worker, who had given birth to his child, had mistaken the unborn child for her boyfriend's child and married due to the premarital pregnancy. However, she was divorced because the unborn child was not biologically his. The part-time worker who randomly met the client's husband again demanded, "Pay me 100 million won for past child support and 1 million won monthly" as the biological father.

Understanding her husband's situation as he tried to handle the sudden emergence of the issue regarding his out-of-wedlock child alone, the wife ultimately paid the outstanding child support all at once and forgave her husband on the condition that he would never meet the out-of-wedlock child again. However, shortly afterward, the client returned to the detective agency, stating, "I will gather evidence of infidelity and get a divorce," revealing that she had witnessed the mother of her husband's out-of-wedlock child (the part-time worker) in a late stage of pregnancy.

However, it turned out that the husband was only taking care of the out-of-wedlock child struggling with his mother's pregnancy. The part-time worker who gave birth to the husband's child was exploiting her pregnancy to obtain money from several men, engaging in an unheard-of "baby business." Moreover, the mother of the out-of-wedlock child had two additional children. Horrified by the neglect of these children, the client reported the mother of the out-of-wedlock child for child abuse and separated the children from her. The client and her husband made the difficult decision to become guardians of the out-of-wedlock child and their siblings, hoping to help them grow up healthily away from their mother's care. Ailee was moved, stating, "I saw a great example of a wife. I want to become that kind of wife in the future, and I feel a new emotion that I have never experienced before."

The lifestyle-oriented detective real-life drama "The Detectives' Business Secrets" airs every Monday night at 9:30 p.m. on Channel A.
