Ahn Jung-hwan, a person surnamed Kim Nam-il, and Kwon Il-yong composed an international investigation team(?) called 'Three Cops' and set out to track a legendary unsolved case that shook the Japanese archipelago.
Today (22) at 7 p.m., episode 41 of E Channel's original web variety show Hyungsuda season 2 (hereinafter Hyungsuda2), which will be released through the YouTube channel "Detectives' Chat", depicts the three visiting Tokyo, Japan, showcasing sharper and deeper profiling.
Arriving at Hachioji Station in Tokyo that day, profiler Kwon Il-yong began by explaining the origin of the place name and recounting the narrative of a serial murder that once shocked Japan, raising immersion from the very start. In response, Ahn Jung-hwan said, "Professor in the head, (Kim) Nam-il in the body, and my intuition finishes it," showing unusual confidence and passion for international investigation and turning the scene into a sea of laughter.
The case the three began to probe in earnest at a small bookstore in Tokyo was the "Kameido beautiful manga artist case," which occurred in September 2000. At the time, police who responded to a superintendent's report of a strong stench 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 there were no traces of a struggle or blood anywhere in the house, and the case fell into a maze from the beginning.
The victim was 28-year-old amateur manga artist Yoshida Yoko, who was on the verge of making her professional debut. Popular with male fans and who even filmed cosplay videos, she had published the address of her studio at the end of her manga, revealing that fans and assistants frequently visited. To that was added a shocking allegation from an acquaintance that "the victim was doing another job at night that no one knew about," intensifying suspicions about a hidden occupation.
The case, which nearly remained unsolved for lack of meaningful clues, took a twist four years later in 2004 when a British psychic appeared on a live unsolved cases program. 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 during her lifetime surfaced, and the case began to move in unpredictable directions.
Did the psychic's strange prophecy and the mysterious letter become the decisive keys that had stalled the investigation? Ahn Jung-hwan, who sighed deeply throughout the recording, expressed sorrow, saying, "I'm angry and frustrated. How hard it must be for the waiting bereaved families."
