The whole story of the murder surrounding a famous web novel writer has been revealed.
In the third episode of the T-Cast E-channel "Brave Detectives 5," which aired on the 10th, Lieutenant Lee Dong-hee of the phishing crime investigation team at Busanjin Police Station, Lieutenant Seo Jung-hee of the 4th team, former police officer Yoon Oe-chul of the Scientific Investigation Unit (KCSI), and Officer Kim Jin-soo made public the investigation log.
Prior to the introduction of the incident, Kwak Sun-young said, "The victim turned out to be a famous web novel writer who posted several works online," adding, "It's a really heartbreaking and sad incident." The incident began in 2019 when a woman reported and called to go home with her, saying, "My close sister couldn't contact me and didn't even go to work."
My sister's house was a luxury apartment with a thorough security system. After opening the door, police found the victim dead in the bathtub in the bathroom of the main room. However, the condition of the body was difficult to see as a simple suicide. There were bruises all over the body and wounds remained on the knees. The investigation team began to doubt the possibility of murder. The victim was a woman in her 30s and had recently moved to the apartment to live with her parents. The reporter said that the victim felt strange, saying that the house password had never been changed, but it had been changed. In addition, it was confirmed that the victim posted a sofa sale on a used trading site the day before the incident, and last lost contact with the message that the buyer was in front of the house.
Records of apartment visits revealed that among those who visited the home on the day of the victim's last contact, there was an unidentified man in his 20s, and that the man visited the apartment the day before and on the day of the transaction.

CCTV analysis confirmed that the man took over the vehicle on the road near the victim's home. Based on the color of the vehicle, it was revealed that the vehicle was a rental car by tracking the route through the local government control center and the traffic center situation room. The rental car contractor was a 21-year-old Kim (pseudonym), who had two previous convictions, and was able to arrest Kim through GPS records of the rental car. In the bag he was carrying, the victim's mobile phone, card key, and apartment contract were found. Ahn Jung-hwan said, "I'm out of my mind." However, Kim said, "I don't know why the victim's phone is in the bag," adding, "I brought the apartment contract as a substitute for a memo paper."
Kim later admitted to the crime and said that when he asked for a discount to 1.8 million won because the sofa cost 2.3 million won, the victim suddenly criticized his parents and assaulted them, and he died when he stepped on his neck because his anger did not go away. However, before the transaction, the criminal's account balance was only 40,000 won, so it was confirmed that he did not intend to purchase the sofa in the first place. It has been confirmed that Kim transferred 1 million won from the victim's home four times, and later transferred 32 million won or received cash services.
What was even more shocking was the move immediately after the crime. Kim was found to have gone on a date with his girlfriend, served his girlfriend's parents a meal, and even went to a luxury outlet, making everyone puzzled. Kim had been unemployed for two months before the crime and had spent all the money he had collected and borrowed only 10 million won from more than 10 private loans. Eventually, he was sentenced to life in prison for robbery and murder. Kim's older sister appointed a lawyer and made a deposit to the bereaved family, but the money was also found to have been transferred from the victim's account, causing outrage.
The case introduced by KCSI began in 2014 when a man in his 60s came to the police station and reported his missing brother in his 70s, who lives alone, saying he could not contact him and his mobile phone was turned off. The missing person was living alone after his divorce two months ago, and he was in contact with his younger brother almost every day. However, after losing contact, it could not be found in the residence.
Meanwhile, the phone number of the self-defense supply agency was found in the missing person's notebook. The younger brother said he has always been anxious since his brother was kidnapped 10 months ago. In the past, the missing person was suddenly kidnapped while on the road and forcibly hospitalized in a mental hospital, and his younger brother filed a lawsuit and was discharged from the hospital three months later. The missing person's wife was behind the incident. The wife forced her husband to be hospitalized, saying he had a phobia and mental illness, and the two later divorced. In particular, after discharge, the house in the name of the missing person was transferred, and while hospitalized, the private taxi license was revoked, adding to the question. The missing person owned a building worth about 2.5 billion won, but he also transferred the name at the request of his wife.
The wife was investigated as a reference, and the alibi was perfect before and after the missing person's cell phone was turned off. He claimed that his husband usually drank and assaulted him, and his children also told the same story. In addition, he applied for a search warrant to check his wife's communication details and financial transactions, but was rejected due to a lack of evidence. The investigation continued afterwards, but no witnesses appeared.
A year after the incident, an important tip came into the police force team, who knew more about the incident, saying that they were aware of the disappearance of an elderly man in his 70s. The informant said he heard about the crime process from inmates at the time of imprisonment, and found out that it was a real case after accidentally seeing the article after being released from prison. The detainees were suspects who had already been investigated for kidnapping several times, and they denied the crime.
However, after the conflict, the accomplice claimed that the main culprit was commissioned and that he only kidnapped. In order to find the person who requested them to contract, he confiscated his mobile phone from the detention and entrusted it with forensics, and searched for the targets he frequently talked to before and after kidnapping along with several photos of the missing person's house. The person on the call was an employee of a private emergency center, and he had a relationship with the wife of the missing person. Even when the missing person was forcibly admitted to a mental hospital, it was confirmed that he was handed over 20 million won through the emergency center staff.
Afterwards, the wife of the missing person denied that she paid 50 million won for the request, but did not order the murder, and claimed that what she requested was to put her husband in a place that would never come out of his life. However, the emergency center staff interpreted the words as the owner of the murder and ordered the contractors to kill them two hours after the kidnapping. The wife claimed that her husband's violence was to blame in the past, and kept quiet about the reason for returning the property's name until the end. The body was found in a hill, and the National Forensic Service confirmed that it was the body of a missing person.
The missing person's wife and emergency center staff were each sentenced to 15 years in prison, and contractors were found guilty during the trial. It was revealed that a man in his 40s, who was discharged from a mental hospital after receiving treatment for alcohol dependence, was injected with a sleep-inducing drug and buried him in secret, and they planned the crime against a mental hospital patient who had property among the subjects who appeared to be unrelated. The main culprit was sentenced to life imprisonment and the criminal was sentenced to 24 years in prison.
