Kim Gwang-gyu blames himself for ‘lease fraud’ 11 years ago
On T-Cast E Channel's 'Brave Detectives 2', which aired on the 13th, Inspector Kim Jeong-jin of the Ulsan Police Agency, Inspector Kim Nam-gyu of the Ulsan Southern Police Station, Inspector Lim Kwang-soo of the Gwangju Eastern Police Station, and Inspector Kim Young-geun of the Gwangju Police Agency appeared and opened investigation notes.
The first incident was so horrific that it was not even mentioned in the news. In early 2000, Lieutenant Kim Nam-gyu received a call from his younger brother asking him to check that something had happened to his older sister. He went to the store run by his older sister. Nothing much happened to her, but I felt like she was hiding something.
During the conversation, Detective Kim opened the steamer placed on the gas stove and looked inside. There was a human head with the hair removed. The victim she murdered was the man she lived with. The man who lived with her used violence, gambled, and even molested the woman's middle school daughter. As a result, the woman committed murder while her husband, who was intoxicated, was unable to resist.
The second case began with a missing persons report in 2014. The reporter reported that his close younger brother, who came to Ulsan with him, could not contact him. The two detectives searched the park area within the 880,000 pyeong housing development district, as this was the area where the missing person's cell phone was turned off.
At this time, a tip was received from a resident living in a nearby garden. It was a somewhat absurd report that kidney bean sprouts that were supposed to grow in one's field were growing in the wrong place, but detectives observed the area and found traces of the ground being dug up. When they dug there, they found a gunny sack, and the body of the missing person was found underneath it.
The last person the missing person met in Ulsan was Manager Oh, a man in his 50s who worked at a public company and was the reporter's mistress. Director Oh claimed that the reporter and the missing person demanded money using the fact that they were having an affair as hostage.
Manager Oh was also paying the insurance premiums for the two women, and Manager Oh was the recipient. The investigation into Director Oh began, and when detectives who dug up his alibi presented evidence, he admitted to the crime. Moreover, it was shocking to hear that the reason the gunny sack was placed on top of the body of the missing person was to provide space to bury the reporter.
Gwang-gyu Kim was present in the third incident. Kim Gwang-gyu, who was a victim of a rental scam 11 years ago, said, "If I had known that such a professional existed, I would not have been scammed," and said, "I met the detective even if it was late, so I will get a lot out of it."
The two detectives guarding Gwangju began looking for the two unresponsive women the day after they arrived in Gwangju in 2014. In a phone call with a friend, the missing person said, "Mr. Choi asked me to go fishing, so I came to the reservoir, but it felt strange. I was so scared." The missing people went to the reservoir with Mr. Choi and his two juniors.
Inspector Kim Young-geun went to the broadcasting reservoir they had visited, but Inspector Lim Kwang-soo found out that it was a no-fishing area. Detectives were concerned that Choi's group might run away and destroy evidence, so they pretended to trust them and dug into the case behind the scenes. According to Choi's rental car GPS check, he stayed for a long time at the 'Bangujeong Reservoir' rather than the Broadcast Reservoir.
Detective Lim found a bloody glove at Bangujeong Reservoir and collected fine blood traces from Choi's rental car. Meanwhile, a setback occurred as the investigation was reported on the news. The day before the report, Detective Kim made an appointment with Choi's group. The two juniors came out, and Detective Kim took one of them and headed to Bangujeong Reservoir.
In a situation where he had to confess, Detective Kim pushed him, and eventually he confessed to murdering the missing people and abandoning their bodies. They put the body in a bag and threw it into the Yeongsan River. Detectives found the bag using a 'fish finder' that detects objects in the water. It was the first body search operation using a fish finder. When Mr. Choi could not repay the money lent to him by the missing woman, he committed a heinous murder using his juniors.
