Unraveling a Mysterious Murder Case on 'Brave Detectives 4'

The truth behind a mysterious murder case is unveiled on 'Brave Detectives 4'.

In the 72nd episode of T-Cast's E Channel show 'Brave Detectives 4' (directed by Lee Ji-sun), airing on the 20th, detectives Park Man-soo and Park Hyun-shin reveal their investigation logs. Following Lee Yi-kyung's temporary departure due to personal controversies, actor Kim Tae-hoon will join as a guest, continuing from the previous episode.

The episode begins with a report from a villa resident who, upon returning home, detected a strange smell from the basement and discovered a body in an open apartment.

The room was covered in blood, and a young woman lay on the floor, staring at the ceiling. The body was in an advanced state of decomposition, with maggots present, and a knife, presumed to be the murder weapon, placed on her abdomen, adding to the shock. However, no items were missing, and there were no signs of forced entry. Forensic analysis revealed traces of cleaning on the drawer and door handles, and a 240mm-sized bloody footprint suggested the possibility of a female perpetrator.

The investigation team learned from a friend who last spoke with the victim that a gas inspector visited the victim's home during their call. Despite questioning all local gas inspectors, none had visited the victim's residence. The development left Ahn Jung-hwan bewildered, asking, "What does that mean?", and Kim Tae-hoon equally astonished, questioning, "Can such a thing happen?"

The identity of the gas inspector at the victim's home and the details of the serial killer's crimes can be uncovered on 'Brave Detectives 4'.

'Brave Detectives 4' airs every Friday at 9:50 PM and is available on major OTT platforms like Netflix, TVING, and Wavve. The E Channel's official YouTube and Instagram also provide vivid updates and videos about the program. Additionally, the E Channel original web variety show 'Detective Talk', which expands the universe of 'Brave Detectives', covers behind-the-scenes stories of investigations, major case insights, and real stories of executed death row inmates in South Korea. It is released every Friday at 7 PM on the YouTube channel 'Detective Talk'.
