The Channel A lifestyle detective docudrama "The Secret Business of Detectives" concluded the 'Finding 17 vehicles' case commissioned to the 'Seagull Detective Team.' Guest Kai from EXO was horrified by a terrible 'marriage scam.'
In the episode aired on the 14th, the 'Seagull Detective Team' concluded the 'Finding 17 vehicles' case of a mother and daughter who had borrowed the name of a male acquaintance (the target) only to end up with 17 vehicles they had never seen and debts. The 'Seagull Detective Team' kept in constant contact with the male acquaintance, persuading him, and he began to disclose the locations of the vehicles one by one. The vehicles were found in parking lots, storage areas, and junkyards, but some vehicles were missing engines or were so wrecked that their shapes were gone, making it only possible to confirm that they were the client's vehicles by matching the vehicle identification numbers. The 'Seagull Detective Team' confirmed up to the 11th vehicle. However, while looking for the 12th vehicle, which was personal entrusted car acquired on credit, the case took another turn compared to other vehicles used for getting loans through Capital.
The previous owner had asked the target for consignment sales, and even though no payment had been made, the name was already changed to the client. Lawyer Namsung, who was retained for legal advice, noted, "It's like selling and buying a house, but not receiving the payment and transferring the ownership. No one knows whether they will disappear without paying, which is very dangerous," pointing out the precarious situation where the ownership transfer was completed without any money exchanged. Sure enough, the target and police gathered in front of the detective wanting to deliver the vehicle. The target prevented the delivery, stating, "Since the previous owner consigned the vehicle, it cannot be delivered," and the previous owner pressured the detectives over the phone, saying, "Take it after paying." The police urged them to properly follow legal procedures, stating, "Anyone moving the car would be committing theft. It is a priority to get a court execution order through litigation."
Despite the ownership being under the client, the detective team, unable to make the vehicle delivery, ultimately requested a 'license plate seizure' to at least prevent the operation of the vehicle and wrapped up the case. The investigation by the 'Seagull Detective Team' concluded that out of the 17 vehicles, 7 were 'junked or scheduled for junking,' 5 were 'operable vehicles,' and the remaining 5 were 'still unknown.' Namsung reminded the mother and daughter in a difficult situation, stating, "The situation where the target has not given the car to the owner constitutes embezzlement. If embezzlement is recognized, it can be canceled. The existing vehicles can be organized, and for the vehicles not found, they can be canceled, leaving the remaining debt to be confirmed and using the debt adjustment system."
Meanwhile, in the reenactment corner 'Case Notebook - Magic Castle,' EXO's Kai appeared as a guest. In this true story, a physician client moved into a luxury apartment complex with parents. The client ended up attending a 'marriage promotion meeting within the apartment complex' that was applied by their parents and met a girlfriend with many similarities to them. The two began preparations for marriage after three months, with the bride-to-be, living with her father, stating, "My mother is living abroad due to my younger sibling's studies." However, the client witnessed the bride-to-be feeling uncomfortable around her father and jumping at the slightest touch. Scenes of the prospective father-in-law enjoying extramarital activities with a young woman were also captured. Ultimately, the client, worried that the bride-to-be might be undergoing 'incest sexual violence' from her father, asked the detective to investigate.
After a thorough investigation, the detective uncovered that the prospective father and daughter were not actually related but were entangled in a 'sponsorship' relationship as well as a contractual relationship. The bride-to-be, originally from an entertainment establishment, had been living as the mistress of the prospective father-in-law and had been promised that should she not marry after five years, he would choose a suitable man to marry her off. When those five years passed, the bride-to-be had moved in with the plan to find a 'good match' without any procedures like a marriage consulting company by living in the luxury apartment complex.
The man pretending to be the prospective father-in-law mentioned, "I'll marry you off, but you're still mine..." while deceiving overseas clients into believing that the bride-to-be was his wife. Defconn commented, "Marrying off your mistress to someone else? What kind of a mess is this?" in shock. Kai stated, "It's not just doctors who save lives; detectives also save people," expressing shock at the reveal of the shocking relationship before the wedding. However, the woman who was the bride-to-be had already completed the marriage registration with the client, citing the benefits of being newlyweds. Ultimately, the client canceled the marriage through litigation, and the terrible marriage scam of the fake father and daughter ended.
