More circumstances are raising suspicions about the connection between the father of Jang Yoon-gi, who is a police officer, and the investigation team handling his son's case. Police Inspector Jang did not know where his son lived before destroying evidence. However, our investigation has confirmed that the head of the investigation team provided him with the address and the door lock passcode. It has also been revealed that Inspector Jang frequently communicated not only with the team leader but also with another member of the investigation team with whom he had a previous working relationship.

Before his son, Jang Yoon-gi, was arrested for the brutal murder of the late Lee Chae-won, Inspector Jang did not know where his son, who lived separately, was residing.
Nevertheless, he was able to visit his son's studio apartment on May 8 and dispose of two real dolls because he had received relevant information from the police.
It has been confirmed that this information was provided to Inspector Jang by the leader of the investigation team for the "Jang Yoon-gi case" at the Gwangju Gwangsan Police Station.
It was found that the investigation team leader gave Inspector Jang not only Jang Yoon-gi's address but also the passcode for his electronic door lock.
According to SBS, circumstances have also been captured indicating that a key investigator on the same team, identified as A, leaked information related to the investigation while speaking with Inspector Jang on several occasions.
Inspector Jang was already acquainted with both individuals, and in particular, A had worked with him at the same workplace in the past.
As suspicions arise that the investigation team for the "high school girl murder case" effectively acted as a bridge between the father and son during the investigation, the police have also become busy.
It is reported that the National Police Agency's inspection team questioned the Gwangju Gwangsan Police Station's investigation team today, July 3, regarding the overall initial investigation.
The Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency stated to SBS, "We humbly accept the inspection and will cooperate faithfully according to the principles."
However, they clarified, "We understand that there is no truth to the claims that the investigation team helped destroy evidence or leaked information."
The National Police Agency explained that it intends to examine all raised suspicions and plans to conduct an in-person investigation of Inspector Jang as soon as the review of records and other materials is completed.
