Intriguing Chase Unfolds in 'Secrets of Detectives' as Illegitimate Child's Registration Sparks Drama

In a gripping episode of Channel A's 'Secrets of Detectives', airing Monday at 10 PM, a dramatic chase unfolds as a father who registered his illegitimate child under his ex-wife's name is pursued, leading to a nail-biting situation that hinges on a single day's difference.

In the segment 'Detective 24 Hours', an older half-sister seeks to correct the family registry that lists her father's illegitimate child as her mother's. The client recalls her father having an affair with an employee at his beauty salon when she was in middle school, which led to her parents' divorce after the mistress became pregnant.

The revelation that the mistress was also a married woman with an 8-year-old son adds to the shock. The real issue arises when the client reveals, "Dad secretly registered my half-brother under my mom's name," leaving everyone stunned. The detectives confirm this through the family registry, which lists the illegitimate child as the client's mother's. The client seeks help to rectify this before her half-brother becomes an adult. Defconn, witnessing the situation, is left speechless, calling it an "unbelievable story."

This week's episode sees the Seagull Detective Team visiting the address on the client's father's records to start their investigation. However, they hit a snag when neighbors reveal, "They moved out." A crucial clue emerges when it's mentioned that a couple lived there and ran a beauty salon, suggesting it could be the client's father. The detectives rush to the salon, only to find it empty, adding to their frustration.

Construction workers at the scene reveal, "The salon moved yesterday," and add that "they came back this morning to pick up remaining items," highlighting the narrow miss with the client's father. Defconn laments, "They moved just a day before. It's so disappointing," while Kim Poong shares the sentiment, "I thought it was resolving too easily." With both the house and salon recently relocated, the investigation resets, leaving the Seagull Detective Team feeling like they're on an emotional rollercoaster. The suspense builds as viewers wonder if they will overcome these hurdles to find the client's father.

Adding a fresh dynamic to the show, SG Wannabe's Lee Seok-hoon joins as a guest detective. Defconn asks him, "Now that you're approaching your 10th wedding anniversary, has your perspective on marriage changed?" Lee, married to a ballerina, humorously responds, "Married people don't ask such questions. It's always the singles who wonder how to end such love," bringing laughter with his witty remarks.

Lee Seok-hoon charms with his candidness and unexpected answers, adding a sweet and humorous twist to the episode. Join him on 'Secrets of Detectives', airing Monday at 10 PM, for a blend of intrigue and entertainment.
