The 100th episode of Channel A's 'Secrets of Detectives' delves into a bizarre case involving a famous bakery owner who has been the target of a shocking curse involving burnt talismans and knives.
Airing on the 2nd, the special episode's 'Case Notebook' segment reveals a desperate plea from a woman who believes someone is harboring a grudge and cursing her. After her divorce, the client opened a small bakery in her hometown, which quickly gained popularity on social media, leading to a successful second location. However, her success was short-lived as eerie incidents began to occur. Torn talismans were found in front of her store, and a knife was discovered in a flowerpot outside her home. An employee reported finding coins scattered around the store and evidence of something burnt in the bathroom sink. These strange occurrences led to the client suffering from terrifying nightmares. Watching this unfold, Defconn shared his own experience, saying, "In my 30s, I was paralyzed by a female ghost. I was so lonely that I held on to her as she tried to leave."
Desperate to prevent further danger, the client asked the detective team to find the culprit. She suspected either a nearby bakery owner, who was jealous of her success and had reported her to the authorities, or her ex-husband, who blamed her for his downfall after being caught in an affair and demoted at work. He had even threatened her directly, saying he wouldn't let her be.
The detectives captured a suspicious scene where someone secretly buried a talisman in the client's flowerpot. The revelation of the culprit's identity left everyone in shock. Defconn remarked, "Some people outwardly congratulate you but secretly wish for your downfall." Guest detective Park Se-ri speculated, "The culprit is likely someone close, envious of her success." Kim Poong expressed disbelief, saying, "It's hard to believe this is a true story."
Channel A's 'Secrets of Detectives' 100th episode special airs at 10 PM.
