'Connection' Episode 3 Recap: Oh Yoon Jin Discovers Jang Jae Hyuk's Secret

After finding out that Park Joon Seo made Jang Jae Hyuk the beneficiary of his insurance, he sensed that something was not right and wanted his family to request an autopsy.

On the other hand, the detective also found out that Oh Yoon Jin was also listed as the beneficiary of Joon Seo. For her, she wanted to get the insurance money to get her daughter's custody.

However, prosecutor Park Tae Jin and Won Jong Soo pushed the family not to request an autopsy.

They pointed out that the two, including Two Star Holdings CEO Heo Joo Song, were after the insurance money and revealed to Park Joon Seo's wife that her husband made them the beneficiaries instead of the family.

Of course, the wife felt like she and her husband were being used to get the 5 million USD in insurance money, but for Jang Jae Hyuk, he knew that something was not right. He speculated that his being forced to take drugs and Park Joon Seo's death are connected.

As Jang Jae Hyuk and Oh Yoon Jin were interviewed by the police, authorities are suspecting that they might be the suspects behind the death.

However, the wife insisted that her husband should undergo an autopsy to find out the real cause of his death.

At this point, Park Tae Jin and Won Jong Soo were anxious that the police might find something on Joon Seo's system.

Jong Soo instructed Tae Jin to work on it before the results reach Jae Hyuk.

At the funeral, Oh Yoon Jin and Heo Joo Song paid their respects to the deceased, while Jang Jae Hyuk said that he was working on a case.

At the police station, he took over a case where two drug addicts caused a scene at the convenience store and found out that they were fighting over the same drug, the lemon mulberry.

Jang Jae Hyuk tried to dig up some information regarding the mysterious pill, but he was attacked.

One of the significant scenes in "Connection" Episode 3 was Oh Yoon Jin's discovery of Jang Jae Hyuk's secret.

After seeing him lose consciousness, she tried to help him and brought him to his apartment. She saw a box that says "Park Joon Seo" on it and after opening it, she found a lemon mulberry pill and suspected that Jang Jae Hyuk was using it.

Jae Hyuk almost attacked Yoon Jin, but she managed to hide in the bathroom. At this point, he revealed why he kept it a secret.
