The results of the persistent pursuit are revealed.

In the 40th episode of E Channel’s ‘Brave Detectives 4’, which will air on the 27th, Detective Park Ki-hoon, former Superintendent Yoon Oe-chul of the Scientific Investigation Unit(KCSI), and Superintendent Kim Jin-soo will appear and share their stories of investigating cases they solved themselves.

According to the production team, it starts with a report of a man lying on the sidewalk of an eight-lane road that day.The victim was found dead with his lips bitten, wearing a blood-soaked running shirt, and there were 17 stab wounds and signs of strangulation on his body.

The victim, a taxi driver in his 40s, was a father of a one-year-old child and drove a taxi until dawn on the day of the incident to make a living.However, his taxi was found not at the scene of the crime but in a nearby residential area after a fire report.After the perpetrator killed the victim, he abandoned the taxi in the residential area and set it on fire.At the scene, a fire starter, bloodstains presumed to be the perpetrator’s, and two suspicious men captured on CCTV were also found, but the investigation was hazy due to the blurry footage.

Despite a comprehensive investigation including base station analysis and similar case searches, the case remains unsolved.Twelve years later, a detective who joined the unsolved case team and was examining the photos from the scene at the time catches a new possibility in one photo, and the investigation begins again.After three years of persistent pursuit, the identities of the criminals surface after 15 years.


The scientific investigation team then reveals the full story of the arson murder case.A fire was reported in a townhouse, but the door to the fire was locked.Inside the house, a burnt body of a woman was found under a pile of charred blankets and clothes.The deceased was a woman in her 40s who lived alone in the house, and she had over 30 stab wounds.The perpetrator did not touch the precious metals, and only the victim’s cell phone and house keys were missing.

There was a possibility that the criminal locked the door with a key and ran away, but the scientific investigation team, which had been re-examining the scene several times, found conclusive evidence that the criminal had not escaped through the front door.After that, the investigation team decided to directly check the criminal’s seemingly reckless and dangerous escape route, and discovered traces left by the criminal in an unexpected place.

The words of the criminal who risked his life to commit the crime shocked everyone.What is the truth behind the arson murder case?

The broadcast is on Friday the 27th at 9:50 PM.
