In fact, the reason why this work can attract huge attention, in addition to the ingenious plot design and the superb acting skills of the actors, there is also a big reason: many cases in this drama
are based on real events. of. The first and second episodes of
are based on the Jun Hyun-joo case that happened in 1997--the 8-year-old girl Park Na-ri didn't go home on time after school, only to find out that she was abducted by a pregnant woman, Jun Hyun-joo .
1.
On August 30, 1997, Park Nari, who was in the second grade of elementary school, went to a department store in Gangnam, Seoul to study English as usual. The
department store is about a 20-minute walk away from home. There are many learning institutions, and Park Nari goes to study alone every week.
School was dismissed at 3 o'clock that day. Park Nari's mother had been waiting at home for her child's return, but she had not seen her daughter come back after waiting for a long time, so she called the school to ask the teacher. Teacher
told her that the child left on time after class.
Park Na-ri's mother called her classmates again and found that the other children had already arrived home on time.
described through the child's classmates that Park Nari's mother learned that she was taken away by a strange aunt after school.
panicked, the mother immediately went to the police station to report it. The police initially determined that the child might have been abducted, and immediately went to Park Nali's house to report charges, waiting for the kidnapper to call.
Sure enough, more than two hours later, the phone of Park Na-ri's house rang, and after answering it, she found a female voice on the opposite side.
She promised that the child was still alive, but when the mother asked about Park Na-ri's state at the moment, the woman hung up the phone as if frightened. The entire call time of
was only about 10 seconds. In addition, there was no caller ID on the phone at that time, and the time was too short, so the police could not trace the source of the signal.
That's it, Park Nari's parents spent the night in a state of anxiety and panic, hoping that the kidnappers would call again.
arrived at around 3:50pm the next day and the phone rang again.
This time, under the police's instructions, Park Nari's mother prolonged the phone call as long as possible. The conversation between the two was as follows:
Kidnapper: "Nali is fine now."
Park Nari's mother: "I Has her child eaten? What requirements do you have to let her go?"
Kidnapper: "Prepare 20 million won (about 120,000 yuan), if you delay or call the police, you will never see Nali again. "
Through this conversation, the police finally locked the phone's specific location as a phone booth near Myeongdong in the bustling business district of Seoul, so they immediately dispatched police to Myeongdong.

When the police arrived at the phone booth where the kidnappers called, they found several witnesses nearby. According to their descriptions, the caller was a young woman in her 20s.
then they collected some fingerprints on the public phone, and arranged for a police force near Myeongdong to continue to stand alone.
It was after 9 o'clock in the evening, the kidnapper called again and asked Park Nari's family to wait in a commercial building next to Myeongdong subway station with bank cards.
This time, the police made it clear that the source of the call came from a nearby cafe, and immediately surrounded the cafe. At that time,
had a total of 13 customers in the store: one male + 12 females, plus other staff, a total of nearly 20 people.
so the police started checking each customer and job one by oneidentity information of persons and collect their fingerprints.
But at this time, a pregnant female customer got up and was about to rush out of the coffee shop. After being stopped by the police, she immediately questioned the other party:
"Do you police treat a pregnant woman like this? If something goes wrong with me, who are you? Come in charge?"
said a word that made the police blushed, and the surrounding customers also stood up to help the woman who looked like she was about to give birth.
The police considered that a woman in her third trimester was indeed unlikely to kidnap a child, so they ruled out the suspicion and let her go.
After the pregnant woman left, the police did not find any problems with the other 10 customers and staff present, and the kidnappers never called again that night. After
's tossing, the kidnappers have obviously become startled.
did not contact Park Nari's parents for 5 days in a row. In desperation, the poor couple had to publish their daughter's photo and seek help from the whole society.
After a lot of media reports, the whole of South Korea is worried about the girl who may have been bad.
Because everyone thinks that the kidnappers are seeing the situation out of control, they may have torn up the child's vote.
did not expect that on September 11th of the same year, things turned around.
A man called the police station and said that the person who kidnapped Little Nali was probably his daughter, Quan Xianzhu.
28-year-old Quan Xianzhu was born into a wealthy family. Her father was a leader of a state-owned enterprise, who gave her a fairly comfortable life since she was a child.
She also had a big dream when she was a child: to be a writer, but then she majored in trade, and then switched to first aid and began to study abroad.
has been studying abroad in her early years. She only returned to South Korea two years before the incident, and has been studying literature and art creation at Seoul University of the Arts .
In February of the same year, she was just married, and her husband had been running his own business, but suffered economic losses due to poor management.
Quan Xianzhu has always lived a good life, so she is a big spender, and she is very insecure in the face of sudden economic pressure.

She often quarrelled with her husband because of this. Later, the relationship between the two broke up, and Quan Xianzhu simply moved to live with her parents. During the
period, she did not work, and often went out alone with a big belly, but her family also knew where she went and what she did.
Until Father Quan saw Park Na Ri's disappearance on TV and thought about how weird his daughter's recent behavior was.
He didn't have any evidence, just an intuition, because Jeon Hyun Joo disappeared after seeing Park Na Ri's disappearance broadcast on TV.
The police immediately released the recording of the extortion call to the whole father, who immediately recognized that it was indeed his daughter's voice.
So, they immediately retrieved Quan Xianzhu's fingerprints and confirmed that they were the same as those on the public phone, and then started the arrest work.
But in fact, Quan Xianzhu had run away long ago, and the police could not do anything, and it was her father's credit for her capture in the end.
On September 12th, Quan Xianzhu's father called again and informed his daughter's specific location. An hour later, she was caught.
After more than 10 days of "fleeing", Quan Xianzhu's state is particularly bad, and even a little confused. After
was arrested, she was mentally unstable, and she often overturned her testimony in her statements, said she had been subjected to violence, and said she had an accomplice.
She also sometimes refuses to answer questions and yells, "I don't know, I can't speak, I don't know anything..."
Experts diagnosed Jun Hyun Joo with histrionic personality disorder, but in the end she was still in the family persuasion, and intermittently confessed the entire process of his crime.
It turned out that due to the debt of 30 million won, Quan Xianzhu hoped to take the money to repay the debt through desperate means.
On the same day, when she was shopping in the supermarket, she saw Park Nari who was leaving the cram school alone. Seeing that she was well dressed, she thought she was a child of a rich family, so she cheated away with "take you to a fun place to play with dolls". took her.
Eventually, the police found Park Nari's body in an underground warehouse used by her husband's toy business.
It turns out that the child was killed by Quan Hyun-joo on the night of the kidnapping. She first poisoned her with sleeping pills, and then strangled Nali's neck.
It is said that Park Na-ri was very happy to see the doll at first, and happily told Jun Hyun-joo her home address and phone number, but at night she was hungry and kept clamoring to go home. Under the irritability of
, Quan Xianzhu tied her hands and feet, and then fed her sleeping pills.
In the end, Jun Hyun-joo was sentenced to life imprisonment and is still serving time in prison.
The child she gave birth was raised by her husband, but her ex-husband thought that the child would not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion when he grew up, so he sent him abroad and was adopted.
looks at it this way, Jun Hyun Joo's children are also very pitiful.
However, although Jun Hyun Joo received the punishment he deserved, Nali, the girl who looks like an angel, will never come back.
