'Detectives' Trade Secrets' tracks the disappearance mystery of a man who cut off contact and even had his phone number disappear after returning to his hometown.
On Monday the 29th at 9:30 p.m., Channel A's Detectives' Trade Secrets features a client with the story, "My brother, who felt like family for 14 years, suddenly cut off contact." The client and the brother met at work in 2011 and even moved jobs together, maintaining a close bond. After the client started a business, the brother became a reliable helper who carved out time from his busy schedule to assist. In particular, the brother was like an uncle who casually played with the client's children. Then, in December 2023, the brother said, "I'm going to help a friend with some work," and returned to his hometown. But from June of this year, he stopped using messenger and posting on social media, and completely disappeared.
The client said, "In July the phone that had been turned off became a state of blocked outgoing and incoming calls in September, and recently the number itself disappeared," amplifying suspicion. As his whereabouts became unclear, acquaintances even suggested, "Maybe he went to Cambodia." The client revealed that after the brother disappeared, she called the guesthouse run by the hometown friend he said he went to work for.
However, faced with the guesthouse owner's evasive response, Kim Poong said, "At this point I'm worried," expressing anxiety, and the Detectives' Trade Secrets studio was instantly filled with tension. Ultimately, the Night Owl detective team heads directly to the guesthouse, the only clue in the case, and begins a full-scale investigation. They encounter an unexpected situation in the brother's hometown village. Whether the detective team can uncover the missing brother's whereabouts and the shocking result will be revealed on next week's Detectives' Trade Secrets.
Meanwhile, this broadcast draws attention as former announcer-turned-broadcaster Jeon Min-gi joins as a guest detective for the day.

He confesses honestly, "Seeing people around me rise was hard to endure," describing how he felt watching his peers' success. He also reveals his goal as a broadcaster that stunned everyone and the hidden story of having to change his name for success.
