In "Brave Detectives," the detectives' persistent investigation to uncover the true nature of the terrible crime has been revealed.
In the 69th episode of the T-Cast E-channel "Brave Detectives 4," which aired on the 30th, Detective Chief Inspector Cho Tae-ki of the Yangsan Police Station's Criminal Team 1, Detective Team 2 Lieutenant Cho Hyun-ki, Detective Team 6 Lieutenant Park Jae-woo, former police officer Yoon Oe-chul of the KCSI, and Inspector Kim Jin-soo made public the investigation log. Um Ji-yoon, an entertainer, played an active role as a guest. Um Ji-yoon said, "I wanted to come out because I liked a cider-like case where the criminal was caught rather than an unsolved case."
The first incident introduced on the day began with a fire report at dawn, saying, "Smoke is coming from the church site scheduled to be redeveloped." The fire was soon brought under control, but an unusual smell of burning remained in the garbage, along with the smell of gasoline. At first, the debris, which appeared to be an animal carcass, was a part of the human body, and several parts, including the head, torso, and pelvis, were separated.
Based on pelvic size, the victim was estimated to be a woman. Around the site, the fence was high due to restrictions on access due to redevelopment, but a decisive clue was found on nearby CCTV. About 30 minutes before the report, a flame that appeared to be arson was confirmed, and only one person, Park (a pseudonym), traveled to and from the scene before and after the incident. He entered the fence just before the fire, came out a few minutes later and later entered a nearby row house. Park is a person with a past history of injury resulting in death, and residents testified that "Park's wife has not been seen for a while." The two were in a common-law relationship for 12 years, and the last time their cohabitation was caught was 16 days before the fire broke out.
The victim's sister was worried that she had lost contact with her sister, and it was also revealed that Park responded to her sister's text and phone calls a few days before the fire. The victim has supported Park by paying off her gambling debt even in financial difficulties. The investigation team arrested Park 12 hours after the fire broke out. The house looked clean, but the ruminol reaction came out, and crime tools such as hammers, vestibular scissors and saws were found in the refrigerator. The rest of the bodies were also recovered from the place Park visited the day before the arson through CCTV.
When the evidence was presented while denying the crime, Park made absurd statements, such as "When I woke up after sleeping, the body of my cohabitation was in the bathroom," or "When I woke up after drinking, it was wrapped in a plastic bag." He claimed that the victim committed the crime by nagging him about alcohol to the end. The exact cause of death was not specified due to the severe damage to the body. In the process, Park's past history of injury and death also drew attention. At that time, the record of the incident revealed that he had done something terrible to the victim, which shocked him. He received a final sentence of 35 years in prison.
The incident introduced by KCSI then began with a mysterious fire in a local natural recreation forest. On a morning patrol, the manager found the scene where both bungalows were burned to ashes overnight and reported them to the police. At the scene, bones that appeared to belong to humans were found along with the smell of gasoline, and a total of four bodies were identified after a search for fruit trees and national fruits. The guest who checked in the previous day was a man in his 40s, and the name of the vehicle was his wife. As a result of the investigation, both the couple and their middle school children could not be contacted.
Genetic identification confirmed that three of the four bodies were family members, but the other one was severely damaged, making it difficult to identify them. He was presumed to be a family member under circumstances. The investigation was carried out after the murder of a family member, weighing the possibility of arson to destroy evidence. A blood-stained weapon was found in a fireplace in the front yard of a bungalow, and blood was also found inside a vehicle under her husband's name found in a nearby parking lot. During the investigation, the husband told his relatives that he would soon make a lot of money from the government's secret business and investment in new drug development, and behind it was a person named Professor Jeong who he met while playing tennis. In fact, the husband delivered about 200 million won to Professor Chung.
Detectives have revealed through tennis meetings that Professor Chung has introduced himself as an honorary professor at a famous university and a person dealing with state secrets, inducing many people to invest. But no one knew his name or contact information. I only contacted them on a public phone. After the incident, he analyzed the records of his public phone calls, which hid his traces, and identified two people involved, and succeeded in arresting him through Professor Chung's mistress. The two people who contacted Professor Jeong were local government officials and graduate students, who were identified as accomplices who helped the crime, but were actually victims who were tricked and used by him. Jeong had the two prepare a vehicle, gasoline, and an electric shock absorber and ordered them to stand by near the scene on the day of the crime.
Jeong, who was arrested, was unemployed. He claimed self-defense, saying that he had met with the victim's family several times and that his children had committed the crime because they knew his face, but that his husband suspected him and his wife and held a knife first. The same argument was repeated in court, but during the prosecution's investigation, it was revealed that he confessed the situation at the time of the murder to the same inmate. The court sentenced Jeong to death. Ahn Jung-hwan could not hide his bitterness, saying, "There are too many bad guys in the world."
