It sheds light on the whole story of the murder of Lee Eun-hae and the murder of a mother and child in a residential area, which were revealed with tenacity in "Brave Detectives 5."

The first episode of the T-Cast E-channel "Brave Detectives 5" (hereinafter referred to as "Yonghyung 5"), which aired on the afternoon of the 27th, was joined by Ahn Jung-hwan and Kwon Il-yong, as well as new MCs Kwak Sun-young and Yoon Doo-joon (Highlight and Beast). On top of that, Kim Myeon-joong, chief of the second detective division of the Michuhol Police Station in Incheon, former police officer Yoon Oe-chul of the KCSI, Inspector Kim Jin-soo, and former head of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's Scientific Investigation Team made public the investigation log.

The first incident began with the story of Detective Kim Myeon-joong, who returned to keep his promise to "talk again when the (case) results come out" when he appeared in Season 2. Detective Kim told the whole story of the case, saying, "It is the first time to talk about the full story of the prosecution."

The incident originated from a dead traffic accident that occurred 12 years ago in 2022. A situation in which the driver's girlfriend, who was in the vehicle, may have committed a planned murder for insurance money and needed to be re-investigated. While even the identity of the deceased was unclear, only the suspect woman's name was known and the accident records were checked in the adjacent area, but the woman was not found on the passenger list.

Four years after the incident, suspicions arose that the woman was related to another boyfriend's insurance death. The two were on a trip to Pattaya, Thailand, and their boyfriend drowned while snorkeling. At that time, the insurance money was paid to the bereaved family, but it was revealed that the same person was involved in both cases. It was Lee Eun-hae who shocked the Republic of Korea by diving and killing her husband in the valley.

After the first investigation, Lee Eun-hae disappeared with Cho Hyun-soo, an affair man and accomplice. However, the issue is whether the act of proposing diving to the victim is a crime, and arrest was not easy. Cho Hyun-soo stated that he was suffering from hypothermia while trying to rescue, and it was difficult to book because the cause of death was confirmed as drowning in the absence of trauma. However, the situation was reversed as the reinvestigation proceeded at the request of the bereaved families. It was confirmed that Lee Eun-hae claimed 800 million won in insurance money, and the motive for the crime became clear as the previous murder was attempted.

In particular, the victim was a researcher at a large company, but he was economically subordinated, opening a negative bank account and transferring the full salary after a year of dating Lee Eun-hae. The message that asked an acquaintance to "send 3,000 won so that I can buy ramen and bottled water" added to the regret. It is known that Lee Eun-hae did not live with the victim and lived with another man, not Cho Hyun-soo, while she adopted her daughter after she reported marriage to the victim. Ahn Jung-hwan responded angrily, saying, "It's really the worst, and I've never seen a criminal like this in 'Yong-hyung'."

Detective Kim Myeon-joong analyzed the existing investigation data and tracked people and their families around him. In particular, he found Lee Eun-hae's father and persuaded him, and in the process, various circumstances related to the incident were revealed. Detectives narrowed down the investigation by analyzing the relationship between the two, as well as identifying food habits, coffee tastes, tobacco types, and cat food types. During the investigation, it was also confirmed that Cho Hyun-soo was involved in a voice phishing organization, and Lee Eun-hae needed 300 million won to appoint a lawyer Even the mentioned circumstances were detected, and the investigation team tracked down and raided the voice phishing organization.

Lee Eun-hae's father also acted suspiciously. He made a move to secure statements to refute Lee Eun-hae's attempted murder, such as directly checking whether pufferfish intestines were provided when selling at Jumunjin Market in Gangwon Province. Detectives hid in the condo where the family stayed, but did not find Lee Eun-hae, and cooperated with overseas lodging sites to track reservation information.

One of Lee Eun-hae's close friends said that he refused to cooperate at the beginning, but when it was confirmed that he was going to Yangju via Ilsan in a car under his acquaintance's name, Lee Eun-hae said he was going to die and was forced to look down at Samsong Station with Cho Hyun-soo. Detective Kim Myeon-joong persuaded his father to turn himself in to prevent accidents between the two during the arrest, and eventually succeeded in making a direct call with Lee Eun-hae. Lee Eun-hae asked Detective Kim Myeon-joong to come alone, and Detective Kim Myeon-joong used his base to share the location with his juniors and succeeded in arresting the two three years after the incident.

The two were all false during the trial. Lee Eun-hae jumped up and down, saying it is impossible to take someone's life for money, and Cho Hyun-soo repeated the story of going through hypothermia. However, Lee Eun-hae was sentenced to life imprisonment and Cho Hyun-soo was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Lee Eun-hae was found to have claimed her husband's insurance money even after the sentence, and the helpers who helped her escape were known to be Cho Hyun-soo's acquaintances.

The case introduced by KCSI was then joined by Kim Hee-sook, former head of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's Scientific Investigation Team, who has been conducting scientific investigations for 40 years. The case they introduced began with a call from a woman who reported that her mother and brother were lying bleeding at home in 2004. At the time of arrival at the scene, the victims had already passed a considerable amount of time since their death, and they were confirmed to have died from multiple puncture. It was confirmed that the criminal washed up through blood at the scene, and the culprit was identified as a man wearing 285mm shoes through a bloodstained jumper left behind.

It was difficult to see the victims as a murder that they wanted to get along well with their neighbors, and although they confirmed all the ex-convicts nearby, it was not easy to find the culprit. While the investigation was struggling, a phone call to the police station became a decisive clue. The drunken man reported that his junior went to the neighborhood where the incident occurred and said he killed him when a person suddenly woke up while he was trying to steal money. Based on this, the detectives successfully identified the suspect and arrested him. The suspect, who was playing billiards at the time of the arrest, resisted by wielding a weapon, but was arrested, and the victim's blood was found in the crime tool and shoes. It was found that the amount he stole was only 43,000 won, adding to the shock. However, he remained unrepentant and showed sophistry and tears, saying, "If a person lives, he or she will be subjected to unwanted things." In response, Kwak Sun-young couldn't help but be angry, asking, "Why are you crying?" and "Why are you killing people?" In the end, the criminal was sentenced to life in prison.
