An unprecedented mystery, the "biological mother death case," has raised suspicions that a relative nephew is deeply involved. In addition, it shocked viewers when a sordid true story was revealed that the husband enjoyed secret trysts with a married female boss at work with the help of a female friend who was part of an "affair crew."
On the 15th, Channel A's Detectives' Trade Secrets aired an episode titled "Detective 24 Hours," which traced clues surrounding the death of the biological mother who had been separated for 30 years and dug into the questions one by one. The first question was the place where the mother died. When the Dokkaebi detective team went to the death place recorded in the documents, it was a vast muddy field that was not easily accessible to people. The second question emerged at the mother's residence, which had gone up for auction. A neighbor said the mother had left her cell phone at home and the door was open when she died, raising suspicions of murder. The third question involved the three apartments the mother owned besides her residence. The client said, "My mother suffered from a mental illness. It doesn't seem she bought them herself," raising strong suspicions. An employee at the apartment management office testified, "She stopped by briefly early last year, and a man came with her and kept waiting."
The fourth question was the 70 million won loan taken from a private lender. The person in charge said, "Four people visited together, including a man. It felt like she was pressured into taking the loan," suggesting a fraudulent loan. The fifth question was 32 insurance contracts. It was confirmed that the mother paid 800,000 won monthly before her death and paid about 8 million won in insurance premiums in 2024 alone. An insurance planner said, "She enrolled in all of them herself," but added, "At some point she had difficulty paying the premiums. She said she left all the money to a man," amplifying the suspicions. Everyone the detective team met commonly mentioned the presence of a "man" beside the mother, and a friend reported, "A relative nephew came every day and demanded money. He even took out a loan against the house to lend it to her." Whether the mysterious man who appears throughout the mother's life is indeed the nephew, and whether he is connected to her death, will be revealed next week on Detectives' Trade Secrets.
In the "case notebook," a female client appeared saying, "I suspect an affair between my husband and a female colleague who joined the company the same time as him." The client's husband and the female friend exchanged messages constantly, bought units in the same apartment complex and moved in, increasing the frequency of their meetings. Their schedules even overlapped on a couple's overseas trip, heightening the client's anxiety. However, the detective team's investigation found that although the two were overly close enough to arouse suspicion, there was no direct evidence of an affair. But records showed the client's robot vacuum ran in the bedroom every time the nurse client worked overnight. Then an earring belonging to an unidentified woman was found in the vacuum dustbin, turning the client's suspicion of her husband into certainty.
The owner of the earring and the husband's actual mistress was revealed to be the married female boss at work. The two had maintained an extramarital relationship for as long as eight years and did not stop the affair even after the client married her husband. Even more shocking was that the client's husband and the female friend were "affair mates" who helped each other's affairs and created alibis. Ultimately, the client divorced and immediately exposed everything to her husband's company, and the husband, the mistress and the female friend all faced consequences. Watching this, day detective Hong Ye-seul said, "I should casually stop by in front of his company sometime," unable to hide her shock. Defconn exploded in anger, saying, "Living like a decent person is this hard," and then trailed off, "Marriage won't be easy..."
