'Chief Detective 1958' Episode 7 Recap

Chief Choi Dal Sul and the new Superintendent, Baek Do Seok, were surprised to see Chief Yu return to the station. This was in the middle of Chief Choi's verbal warning to Park Young Han after the detective accused the two of plotting the incident against Chief Yu.

During their private meeting, Chief Yu presented proof of why Choi Dal Sul and Baek Do Seok wanted him to be silent.

It turned out that Choi Dal Sul was supporting the Japanese. Chief Yu handed them a photo of the official pledging support to the Japanese Emperor for his ruling.

While the chief caught them off guard, he surprised them, including Park Young Han, by destroying the proof.

He made a deal and promised to keep the bombshell news to himself, and in return, he wanted to stay away from the case under Investigation Unit 1.

The incident left Park Young Han stunned, since he believed that it was the only evidence they had against the duo.

However, Chief Yu assured him and the team that he had another copy of it if Choi Dal Sul and Baek Do Seok break the deal.

One of the highlights in "Chief Detective 1958" Episode 7 was the murder case involving an auditor named Hong In Ho.

While Park Young Han and his wife, Lee Hae Joo, were walking on their way back to work, a man suddenly fell down from a window. The detective rushed to the individual to check if he was still alive.

Unfortunately, he didn't survive the impact and died on the spot.

Park Young Han and his team were suspicious about the incident, especially with the suicide note and the evidence at the crime scene.

The investigation unit team 1 was having a hard time gathering evidence, but thankfully, a leprosy patient who was hiding in the alley saw the victim and gave the detectives the man's description.

Other than the witness, the team also interviewed a stock specialist and found out the anomaly in the stock exchange.

Through Bong Nan Sil's theory, they found out that the murder incident was involved with Myungil Securities, which was manipulating the stock market by creating dummy accounts.

During the arrest, Park Young Han and the rest of the team were told that the case would be transferred to KCIA.

However, Young Han stopped them because he knew that they were connected to the higher-ups.

At this point, Park Young Han insisted that they would handle the case and would not let anyone ruin it.
