In Detectives' Trade Secrets, an aunt suffering from end-stage renal disease revealed a heartbreaking story about trying to find the biological father for her nephew, whom she raised like her own son for 18 years. Alongside this, viewers were appalled by a wife who meticulously schemed her husband's affair to target her mother-in-law's assets, and the shocking true story of an 'affair-addicted' husband who fell into that very trap himself.
On the 23rd, Channel A's Detectives' Trade Secrets featured a 'Detective 24 Hours' segment that introduced the story of a 20-year-old who asked, "Please find the biological father I was separated from 18 years ago." The client had been left at his biological father's family home after his parents divorced when he was about two, but his aunt and her husband, feeling sorry for him, took him in and raised him like their own child alongside their two sons for 18 years. It was revealed that "the biological mother visited only once at the elementary school graduation, and the only child support over 18 years was 300,000 won," leaving many speechless. Meanwhile, it was also reported with sorrow that the client's aunt is currently in the terminal stage of renal failure and desperately needs a kidney transplant. The client decided to donate a kidney, but the aunt cried, saying, "I am grateful, but I cannot accept it. My nephew has more days to live ahead of him...," which left viewers with heavy hearts.
The aunt expressed her wish that before her condition worsened further, her nephew would meet his biological father and ease the burden on his heart. Watching this, Defconn said, "Because the aunt's health is so bad, it seems she fears she may no longer be able to protect her nephew," unable to hide his sorrow. The married detective team first went to the biological mother to obtain information about the biological father, but they were shocked when she turned them away even after hearing her son's name. Kim Poong angrily said, "She seems to consider him less than a stranger," and Defconn also expressed bitterness, saying, "It seems she deleted marriage and childbirth from her memory." The detective team then followed clues to what they believed was the biological father's family home. Whether the detective team can find the client's biological father will be revealed in next week's broadcast.
Meanwhile, the 'case notebook' segment portrayed the story of a mother troubled by her only son's 'affair addiction.' The client, a well-known couple counseling expert, came to the detectives saying, "My son, who divorced because of an affair, seems to be cheating again after remarrying." Worried that her son's divorce over an affair would harm her reputation and career, the client managed the situation at the time by paying a large alimony to the former daughter-in-law after the first divorce. Two years later, the son remarried a woman who was a pharmacist by trade, but signs suggested he was committing infidelity again. The investigation found that the client's son was having an affair with his wife's friend. He was even caught in an affair at home, leading to another divorce crisis. Observing this, guest detective Jo Min-hee clicked her tongue, saying, "There are many things you can tolerate, but an affair between a married couple is absolutely unforgivable." She added, "My father's dancing flirtations once happened, and my mother said she could never forget that even after my father died," underscoring the deep wound left by a single infidelity.
Soon after, the son's affair with his ex-wife was exposed. Shockingly, it turned out that all of this had been meticulously planned by the daughter-in-law to target the mother-in-law's assets. The daughter-in-law took her husband to an alumni gathering to orchestrate a natural meeting with a friend, and she made a reservation at the same time at the esthetic salon the ex-wife frequented to engineer a reunion. Using this as a pretext, she secured the house under the mother-in-law's name as joint property for the couple, and even planned to demand that the pharmacy the client had established at the time of the marriage be moved to the heart of Gangnam. The daughter-in-law even made a shocking remark that stunned everyone: "A mongrel can't stop being a mongrel. I only threw the bait, and the one who bit it was my husband." Thus, the client's son's second marriage also ended in divorce, and the client had no choice but to agree in order to obtain a nondisclosure agreement.
