Summary
A Mystery of Insurance and Murder: The Cheonggyesan Woman’s Case
In the early hours of the morning, the body of a woman is found on a rainy trail deep in Cheonggyesan Mountain.
Strangled—so it seems—but the relentless summer monsoon has washed away every trace of evidence.
All that remains is this: 1.7 billion won in life insurance, and a husband who vanishes after submitting her death certificate to claim the payout.
The sole beneficiary? Her husband.
Their only son? Missing for nearly five years, presumed dead or disappeared.
A death shrouded in suspicion. A case that reeks of insurance fraud.
Veteran investigator Chae-Gwang, a former cop with a crooked smile and more instinct than polish, is dispatched by KS Life Insurance's elite SIU (Special Investigation Unit). By his side—reluctantly—is rookie analyst Oh Gi-jun, a meticulous, by-the-book professional who believes in rules, order, and clear lines.
Mismatched in every way, the two form an unlikely team as they dig into the case—bickering, clashing, and uncovering more than either expected. What begins as a suspicious claim soon spirals into a web of secrets, lies, and a death that may not have been so simple after all...
