Ahn Jung-hwan, a person surnamed Kim Nam-il, and Kwon Il-yong, forming an international investigation team(?) called the "Three Cops," set out to track a legendary unsolved case that shook the Japanese archipelago.
Today (22nd) at 7 p.m., episode 41 of E Channel's original web variety show Hyungsuda season 2 (hereinafter "Hyungsuda2"), which will be released on the YouTube channel "Detectives' Chat," depicts the three visiting Tokyo, Japan, and presenting sharper, deeper profiling.
Arriving at Hachioji Station in Tokyo that day, profiler Kwon Il-yong increased immersion from the start by recounting the origin of the place name and the narrative of a serial murder case that once shocked Japan. In response, Ahn Jung-hwan said, "Professor on the head, (Kim) Nam-il on the body, and my intuition finishes it. We are the real 'Three Cops,'" showing unusual confidence and passion for international investigation and turning the scene into a sea of laughter.
The case the three began to dig into in earnest at a small bookstore in Tokyo was the "Kameido beautiful female manga artist case" that occurred in September 2000. At that time, police who responded to a manager's report of a strong odor at an apartment in Kameido, Koto Ward, Tokyo, witnessed a bizarre scene. The victim's face on the bed was covered with a white cloth, but since there were no signs of a struggle or blood anywhere in the house, the case fell into mystery from the start.
The victim was Yoshida Yoko, a 28-year-old amateur manga artist who was on the verge of her professional debut. Popular with male fans and who had even filmed cosplay videos, she had published her studio address at the end of her manga books, revealing that fans and assistants frequently visited. In addition, a shocking disclosure from an acquaintance that "the victim was doing another job at night that no one knew about" intensified suspicions about a hidden occupation.
The case, which could have remained unsolved for lack of meaningful clues, took a twist four years later in 2004 when a British psychic appeared on a live broadcast program about unsolved cases. The psychic said, "I saw the perpetrator's face in a dream," presented a detailed composite sketch, and more than 120 tips poured in immediately after the broadcast. At the same time, a mysterious letter that the victim was said to have entrusted to a friend while alive surfaced, and the case began to move in an unpredictable direction.
Did the psychic's strange prophecy and the mysterious letter become the decisive key that restarted the stalled investigation? Ahn Jung-hwan, who sighed deeply throughout the recording, said with regret, "I'm angry and frustrated. How hard it must be for the bereaved families waiting," expressing his sorrow.
