On Channel A‘s real-life detective drama ‘The Detectives’ Trade Secrets’, the ‘Seagull Detectives’ took on a request from a mother and daughter to find 17 cars that they had taken on through name lending. Kim Hyo-jin, the ‘Nosan Icon’, who also appeared as a guest, trembled at the appearance of the ‘ultimate villainess’ who repeats evil deeds.

On the ‘Detectives‘ Trade Secrets’ on the 24th, the ‘Seagull Detectives’ took on a request from a mother and daughter to “find 17 cars they “have never seen or driven in”. The mother of the two daughters lent her used car business name to a man she was acquainted with five years ago. At the time, the client was going through a difficult time due to her divorce from her ex-husband, and the acquaintance made a sweet offer: “If you lend me your name for a little while, I’ll pay you some living expenses every month.” The client thought it would be okay for a while and lent his name. However, after two years of starting the business, the client received a notice of unpaid taxes as well as demand letters from various capitals. In addition, the business had no purchases or sales, and there were no employees working in the office. Eventually, the tax office determined that there was no business activity and the business was closed down with an “ex officio closure order.”

The client was left with debts worth about 500 million won, including unpaid taxes, unpaid rent, and business-related loans. In addition, the debt continued to grow as late fees and interest were added every day. In the meantime, the man who lent his name promised to “get his house in order” and obsessed with the client, even making excessive demands such as “take videos or photos of sex.” In the end, the client was hit in the head with a cell phone by this man and was diagnosed with a two-week recovery period. With the help of her daughter, the client filed a stalking report and even filed a restraining order, but the man still visited the client‘s house. When the client did not act as he wanted, he said that he would not resolve the debt and vehicle issues and said, “Do it yourself.” Since the 17 vehicles were being driven as “cannon vehicles,” it was difficult to “delist” them, and since these vehicles were considered assets, personal rehabilitation or bankruptcy was not possible.

In the end, the “Seagull Detectives” began their investigation by going around the industrial complex. They then searched through the numerous vehicles in the used car dealership for several days. As a result, they were able to find the vehicles in the client’s name. However, the vehicles were already half-destroyed or in a shocking state of fire. The surprising facts that the “Seagull Detectives” learned through the vehicles in question will be revealed next week.

Kim Hyo-jin, who became a hot topic at the age of 45 after becoming pregnant naturally, joined as a guest in the true story reconstruction corner ‘Case Notes - Crime and Punishment’. The client who visited the detective agency in this true story had a severely autistic son with her teacher husband. While both the couple were exhausted from raising the autistic son, the client found out that her husband was having an affair. The client tried to ignore it for the sake of her family, but the woman who was her husband‘s teacher colleague continued to provoke her. Eventually, the wife decided to get a divorce and asked the detective to find evidence.

With the evidence the detective captured, the wife tried to file both a divorce and an incest lawsuit. However, the woman said, “If you file an incest lawsuit, it won’t be an affair, but ‘sexual assault due to hierarchy in the workplace.’ I am a temporary teacher, so I am worried that your husband will be disadvantaged in getting rehired...” and demanded a settlement of 50 million won in compensation. The wife, who needed money for her autistic son’s medical expenses, decided to settle with the mistress despite her humiliation and destroyed all evidence of the affair. However, when the mistress’s husband came to the school after seeing the complaint of the affair, the mistress accused the client’s husband of being a sexual assaulter, as she had told the client, and had him fired from his teaching position. The client’s husband could not bear the false accusation and took his own life. The client, who saw the mistress who had completely ruined his life living happily with her original husband, held a one-man protest in front of the mistress’s house, holding a picket sign.

After that, the client’s son received a complaint titled “Claim for Subrogation.” The mistress shamelessly responded, “I wanted to claim the 50 million won in compensation from the client’s husband, but he is already dead, so I am claiming it from my son, who is his heir.” The client eventually received help from a detective and learned that the mistress had previously threatened to “make her lover a sexual assaulter” at another school in the same manner to avoid punishment for her crimes. In the end, the mistress who had committed evil deeds was divorced by her husband who had trusted her like crazy, and she also lost her job when rumors spread at school.

Defcon, Yoo In-na, and Kim Poong all said, “The worst villainess of the year has appeared.” Kim Hyo-jin also expressed her anger toward the mistress, saying, “This is the first time my trapezius muscles have grown in such a short period of time.” Kim Hyo-jin, the “model of harmony,” then said, “I hope everyone can protect their families,” expressing her earnest wish that all adultery in the world would disappear.

“Detectives’ Trade Secrets” airs every Monday at 9:30 p.m. on Channel A.
