'Detectives' Trade Secrets' revealed stories ranging from an 80-year-old mother who was deceived by a woman posing as a 10 billion won asset owner and extorted hundreds of millions of won, to a husband with dementia who, seeking revenge for his wife's affair, transferred all his assets to his son, which shocked and angered viewers simultaneously.
On the 12th broadcast of Channel A's 'Detectives' Trade Secrets' segment 'Detective 24 Hours', a daughter's request was filed asking, "Please reveal the true identity of the woman claiming to be a 10 billion won asset owner who gaslighted an octogenarian mother." The client said, "My mother was deceived by a young woman who claims her mother is a 10 billion won asset owner, lent about 500 million won, and had her house and commercial property mortgaged," and complained of the damage. The incident began with Mr. Kang (alias) and his group. He approached the client's mother by introducing himself as "chairman of S Construction, an elder at a church, acquainted with a lawmaker's wife, and whose brothers-in-law are a police chief and a Blue House official." Later, using a beef supply business as a pretext, they borrowed 50 million won from the client's mother, then at some point stopped paying the promised interest and introduced a woman in her 30s as a "100 billion won heir."
The woman, who introduced herself as "the father is the president of H Construction and the mother is a gallery director," showed a bankbook stamped with "100 billion won" and offered to pay off the couple's debts. But she began demanding money from the client's mother, saying, "Because I signed a bad guarantee, the bankbook was seized. To lift the seizure I need to pay off the debt." Thus, the 10 billion won asset woman took all of the client's mother's cash assets and pressured acquaintances to bring money, pocketing tens of millions of won. Not stopping there, she directly took out an online bank loan in the client's mother's name, asked for the telebanking password, and withdrew money into her own account. Even the house where the client's mother lived had a mortgage registered, and the commercial property bought with the father's death compensation was put up for auction.
Upon investigation, the 10 billion won asset woman was found to have tens of millions of won in loans from secondary financial institutions and multiple long-delinquent loans. The Baekho detective team immediately went to the guesthouse that was the recent address of the 10 billion won asset woman to begin inquiries. Watching the case, Defconn said, "I really hope this request is resolved. Many people are boiling right now," expressing anger, and Yoon In-na also reacted emotionally, saying, "I want to find out what she looks like as soon as possible and see her." Attention is focused on whether the Baekho detective team can reveal the true identity of the '10 billion won asset woman' and solve this case.
Meanwhile, in 'Case Notebook,' which featured SS501's Kim Kyu-jong as a one-day detective marking his 20th debut anniversary, a shocking truth behind the story of a dementia patient father who gifted all his assets to his son without his wife's knowledge was revealed. The client's father, who had been living with a caregiver in Sangju, was found to have gone to a tax accountant to carry out gift procedures whenever he was clear-minded. After his condition worsened and he was admitted to a nursing home, the caregiver left a meaningful remark to the client: "He gets very angry whenever he sees his wife's face. There must be a reason he hates her so much." The client asked the detective team to investigate, and soon footage captured the client's mother openly having an affair with the husband of another female dementia patient in front of her dementia-stricken husband.
The investigation found that the relationship between the two dated back to the past. The client's mother, who clashed with her stubborn husband who treated her like a "meal girl," committed an affair with a man she met while hiking. After being found out, the husband's harassment intensified. Then, when the affair partner's wife and her own husband sequentially developed dementia, the two sent their spouses to the same dementia center and nursing home and continued their affair openly in front of them without restraint. Their conversations, "We're free now," and "Our house is empty, your house is empty too, we saved on motel fees," horrified everyone. Watching the story, Kim Kyu-jong said, "This can't be aired," unable to hide his shock, and Defconn fumed, "How can they do this leaving their sick spouses? Aren't they psycho perverts?" Kim Poong also expressed bitterness, saying, "I think this will make the top 5 trash scenes of 'Tambi' in 2026."
