00:00This guy had been chasing his idol for a full 10 years.
00:02But today, scrolling through her social media, he was stunned buried in her captions.
00:06He could make out a hidden acrostic.
00:07Reading the characters diagonally, they spelled out, Jack, I love you.
00:11But she'd always claimed publicly that she was single.
00:13Thinking of all the years he'd silently devoted to her,
00:16a bitter mic immediately opened that actor's website.
00:18And sure enough, he uncovered the secret.
00:20He noticed that whenever Jack bought flowers,
00:22that same bouquet would show up at the female idol's house the next day.
00:25Or when Jack posted a photo of a gorilla, she'd post about checking in at the zoo.
00:28Just as Mike's suspicions were growing,
00:30a matching pair of bracelets pushed him over the edge.
00:32This was clearly a secret relationship hidden from the fans.
00:35Feeling betrayed, Mike immediately unfollowed her but that wasn't enough to quell his anger.
00:38He posted everything he'd found online.
00:40And before long, the idol's secret romance was trending.
00:43Fans unfollowed her en masse.
00:44But Mike, who'd exposed it all,
00:46hadn't yet noticed the private message she'd sent him.
00:48Her agency was suing Mike for defamation,
00:51demanding 10 million yen in damages.
00:52Just as he was panicking about where to find that kind of money,
00:55there was a knock at his door.
00:58Mike was terrified he had no idea why the police would be at his door.
01:01But the officer looked friendly enough,
01:02which left him confused.
01:04The male officer got straight to the point.
01:05They wanted Mike to help with an investigation.
01:07The police had been impressed by his online detective skills.
01:10And if Mike agreed, they'd help him resolve the lawsuit.
01:12With 10 million yen on the line,
01:14Mike had no choice but to take the job.
01:16Not long ago, a girl group member named and had gone missing.
01:19All the police knew was that she'd been performing on stage as usual.
01:21But when the lights cut out during a transition,
01:24she'd simply vanished into thin air.
01:25Mike took the case and watched the footage over and over until something odd caught his eye.
01:28Right before she disappeared,
01:30and seemed to be staring at something in terror.
01:31Following her line of sight,
01:33there was a man with a neck tattoo standing there
01:34and after the lights came back up and N was gone,
01:36that same man left the area on camera.
01:38Convinced the tattooed man was connected to her disappearance,
01:41Mike started pulling nearby traffic cameras.
01:43He finally caught a glimpse of Ann,
01:45only to see a van suddenly pull up and abduct her.
01:47Had the tattooed man kidnapped her?
01:48Mike immediately contacted the officer with his findings.
01:51And based on his leads,
01:52they did locate that black van tracking its route.
01:54They discovered it had driven into an abandoned factory.
01:57When the male officer followed the trail to the factory,
01:59he found it had clearly been deserted for years.
02:01They searched room after room,
02:02and just as they were starting to think and had been moved elsewhere,
02:05the officer's flashlight caught something.
02:07His assistant followed the beam in their lay and spotting.
02:09What had started as a missing person case had turned into a murder.
02:12Mike was terrified again,
02:13fearing for his own safety.
02:14He wanted to quit immediately.
02:16But the police,
02:17having seen what he could do,
02:18wouldn't let him to keep him on board.
02:20They paired him with Anna,
02:21a new recruit at the station.
02:22She was a police intern who admired guys with real professional skills,
02:25since unfollowing his idol.
02:27This was the first girl who'd made Mike's heart race.
02:29He even stuttered through his self-introduction.
02:30Compared to the risks of the case,
02:32he chose the other option without hesitation.
02:34To give Anna a taste of real detective work,
02:36the police teamed them up on the case.
02:37Eager to impress her,
02:39Mike threw himself into it full force,
02:40and they soon turned up a new lead.
02:42He noticed that Anne,
02:43the missing girl,
02:44had two moles on her hand.
02:45Another retired celebrity had a group photo,
02:47though the face next to her was blocked.
02:49Mike and Anna recognized those two moles immediately.
02:51The girl in the photo was Anne,
02:52before she disappeared.
02:53The photo had been taken at a party,
02:55and after that night,
02:56the once poor Anne suddenly started carrying luxury bags.
02:59When Mike pulled up the party video,
03:01just as they were wondering what kind of gathering this was,
03:03two familiar figures caught their eye.
03:05One was unmistakably the missing Anne
03:06and when the man beside her turned around,
03:08the two of them staring at the screen were completely dumbfounded.
03:10The man in the video was none other than the male officer
03:12who'd hired them for the case.
03:14Seeing that he and Anne had clearly had some kind of falling out,
03:16Mike immediately told the female officer what they'd found.
03:18But just as they were laying out their discovery,
03:21the male officer suddenly requested to join their group chat.
03:23He announced that Anne's killer had been found a creepy middle-aged man
03:25and told Mike and Anna to stop investigating.
03:27Then he left the chat.
03:28Everything felt rushed,
03:30especially to the female officer who'd been his partner.
03:32Mike ignored the order and soon found another lead.
03:34While searching,
03:35he came across a man carrying a handkerchief from the same brand as Anne's bag.
03:38It turned out the handkerchief was a free gift with that bag,
03:40and their posts were timestamped around the same time.
03:42Clearly,
03:43the man in had met at that party was the one with the handkerchief.
03:46Mike wanted to tell the female officer about the new lead,
03:48but when he video called her,
03:50he learned she was already tailing the male officer.
03:52Her suspicions aroused.
03:53Using the GPS on the officer's phones,
03:55she quickly tracked him down.
03:56On the ground she spotted a watch and following the direction it pointed,
03:59a pair of men's legs came into view.
04:01The male officer had clearly been killed.
04:03Just as Mike was drowning in fear,
04:04a call came through on his computer's messaging app,
04:06forcing himself to stay calm.
04:08He answered and on the other end was the male officer,
04:10the one who was already dead.
04:11And he'll like you next time.
