Detective Oh Ji-hyeok investigates disappearance of daughter of death row inmate

Lieutenant Oh Ji-hyeok has returned to the Violent Crimes Team following a one-year leave of absence to investigate the disappearance of 28-year-old Lee Eun-hye. The case has taken a dark turn as the missing woman is revealed to be the daughter of Lee Dae-cheol, a convicted killer sentenced to death.

Tensions rise as interpersonal relationships are revealed during the search for missing 28-year-old Lee Eun-hye. A video featuring key scenes from the JTBC drama 'The Good Detective' depicts Detective Oh Ji-hyeok, who received the missing person report, confronting a brutal connection hidden behind the case.

"My father is Lee Dae-cheol": A killer hidden behind a missing person report

While verifying information about the missing Lee Eun-hye with the informant, Lieutenant Oh Ji-hyeok learns a shocking fact: the missing person's father is Lee Dae-cheol, a brutal criminal who previously murdered a female college student, disposed of her body, and even killed the detective in charge of the case. Having been sentenced to death in court, Lee Dae-cheol's identity turns the report of his daughter's disappearance into a clue that connects past tragedies to the current incident, moving beyond a simple case of running away.

To track the missing person's movements, Oh Ji-hyeok continues his conversation with the informant, checking the clothes Lee Eun-hye usually wore and the stores she frequently visited. During this process, the relationship between the informant and the missing person, along with the weight of the figure known as Lee Dae-cheol, shifts the flow of the case.

The return of Violent Crimes Unit veteran Oh Ji-hyeok and divided views within the team

A strange tension flows through the team as Lieutenant Oh Ji-hyeok, who recorded the number one rating while working at the Seoul District Office's Violent Crimes Unit, returns to the Violent Crimes Team following a one-year leave of absence. The team's need for field personnel clashes with his career background from the Violent Crimes Unit, leading to divided perspectives among team members regarding his joining.

While acknowledging Oh Ji-hyeok's abilities, internal discussions arise regarding how to deploy him in a situation where field-active personnel are required. In particular, sharp dialogue continues between the team leader and members concerning his schedule management style and his potential impact on the team atmosphere. Immediately upon his return, Oh Ji-hyeok demonstrates his characteristic tenacity by taking on the missing person case.

A meeting between a tycoon and a detective, and conflicting interests

The flow of the case becomes complicated as figures from different worlds—a tycoon and a detective—become entangled. The video includes scenes of high-priced items being auctioned and features an individual with massive financial power, implying that economic elements are involved in the background of the case. Meanwhile, in the process of tracking the disappearance, Oh Ji-hyeok comes into contact with a wealthy individual, leaving a foreshadowing that the simple disappearance may be part of a much larger incident.

Oh Ji-hyeok interrogates those around the missing person to trace Lee Eun-hye's last movements. While remaining cautious, stating, "This might not be a disappearance but just running away," he continues a pressured investigation to approach the reality of the case by contrasting the informant's attitude with the information regarding the missing person.
