‘Detectives’ Trade Secret ‘asked for viewers’ attention and tips to find the biological daughter of a client who broke up 40 years ago.Former JTBC announcer Kang Ji-young, who joined as a daily detective, was shocked by the true story that her husband’s affair partner was a man, saying, “I think I’m going to lose my humanity.”

On the 23rd, on Channel A’s ‘Detectives’ Trade Secret’s ‘24 Hours Detective’, a request to find a biological daughter who was given up for adoption by her uncle 40 years ago ended with regret.The client became pregnant while living with her ex-boyfriend, but the husband left home after a conflict just before their wedding.The client gave birth alone to protect the child, but due to the social stigma at the time, she was unable to register the birth.In the end, struggling financially, the client gave her daughter up for adoption to her ex-boyfriend’s older brother, who did not have any children, and in other words, the child’s uncle.The client confessed, “I’ve lived my whole life as a sinner,” and appealed that she wanted to find her daughter now.

The detectives in charge of the case met the daughter’s biological father in person after asking around.However, when they showed him a photo of the daughter, the biological father said, “Who is this? I have no idea…” and did not remember.After a while, the biological father remembered what happened and gave an evasive answer, saying, “I couldn’t tell if she was really my daughter.” Then, the biological father’s third sister-in-law, who was the last to take care of the child, said, “No one wanted to raise her, so I left her at the police station.I don’t know the rest.” The studio of ‘Detectives’ Trade Secret ‘was enraged by this, saying, “No matter what, they are blood relatives…” The biological father also said, “The child could have been a burden, so the brothers did that for the sake of their younger sibling’s future,” adding to the regret.The detectives in charge of the detectives inquired at the police station near where the biological father’s third brother lived at the time, at a daycare center in the area, and at the Seoul City Hall, but were unable to find the whereabouts of their client’s daughter, which was disappointing.

Meanwhile, in the true-story detective drama ‘Case Note’, a woman came to the detective team saying, “I think my husband is having an affair with my bestie at our house.” She was suspicious of her husband and his best friend who had been staying at her house for two months under the pretense of a water leak.The client also said that one day, she saw the two of them sleeping on the living room sofa while drunk.After investigating the apartment where her friend lived, it was revealed that no household had had a water leak repaired in the past two months, making it clear that she was lying and staying at the main character’s house.However, while tracking the two people’s movements, the detective team witnessed a strange sight where the main character’s friend was obsessively chasing her husband.

It turned out that the main character’s husband was having an affair with people of the same sex, and her friend knew everything.In order to stop this, her friend chased after her husband and ended up moving in with him.When everything was revealed, the husband came out, saying, “That’s right, I like men too.After getting married, I realized that I like men better.” Then, he shamelessly said, “But it’s better than having an affair with a woman, right?” and shocked everyone.The friend’s feelings, who was worried that the main character would find out about her husband’s sexual identity, were also revealed to be ‘love’ rather than ‘friendship’.Defconn was shocked, saying, “This was the most confusing story ever,” and daily detective Kang Ji-young was unable to hide her shock, saying, “Humanity has disappeared that this kind of thing actually happens.”

Channel A’s ‘Detectives’ Trade Secrets’ airs every Monday at 9:30 PM.
