Kimchi is a Korean spicy fermented cabbage side dish. It is traditionally prepared in big red buckets…
The two detectives were standing staring at one of those kimchi buckets. But they knew there was more than just kimchi inside otherwise, they wouldn’t be in a morgue right now.
They slowly opened the lid to the massive kimchi bucket and inside they were confronted with 2 bodies. From this point on, the clock started ticking. The investigators would need to find the woman responsible for this and make sure she didn’t kill again.
This is the story of South Korea’s most unhinged serial killer in the making.

The "3 Body Problem" was going to be Jeff Bezoz’s billion-dollar investment. The plan? Invest $1B into a new sci-fi series and watch the subscriptions to Amazon Prime Video flow in.
All they have to do is buy the English adaptation rights off from the Chinese gaming giant – Yoozoo Gaming. They own the film and TV rights to the “3 Body Problem Universe.”
The deal was close to being done – till CEO Lin Qi of Yoozoo walks into a conference room in LA. Dressed like a gangster. Puts his feet up on the table and suggests a co-production. He blew up the deal that Amazon had been working on for 8 months.
Amazon was upset but as they were walking out of the meeting room… they noticed something. Nobody around CEO Lin looked happy either.
They wouldn’t be surprised when they heard the news 2 years later. The billionaire CEO Lin was murdered by someone inside his company.

#358: Netflix’s “3 Body Problem” New Show Leads To MURDER Of YOUNG BILLIONAIRE

There’s a boring red brick building in the middle of Yale University’s campus. If you walk past it you might think it’s an administrative office. It looks - boring. 
But if you look closely - there are 75 CCTV cameras pointed directly at the building. Covering every square inch of the exterior. Why would they need so much security for a university building?
It is the Animal Research Laboratory. It houses over 4000 research mice and has tens of millions of dollars of research experiments being conducted inside the brick walls. 
It is one of the most secure buildings on campus. 
Till a brilliant Yale graduate student disappears inside. 
She walks in. 
Never walks out. 
She is nowhere to be found in the building - or at least that’s what the authorities initially thought. 
But have they checked the walls?

#357: Yale Student Found Inside The Wall of Multi Million Dollar Research Lab on Campus

He once controlled the entire economy of the country—to put it simply. The man in the restaurant security footage is an ex minister of Kazakstan, the third most powerful person in the entire country. 
 
His name is Kuandyk Bishimbaev and his wife, Sultanat Nukenova, were supposed to be on a dinner date; instead the security cameras capture something else.
 
Around 7 in the morning, the ex minister grabs his wife by a fistful of her hair and throws her onto the ground in the hallway.
 
Her jacket naturally flips open – and she’s naked, barely covered on the cold dirty floor of the restaurant. He’s standing over his wife’s limp body on the ground. The ex minister lifts his right leg up and starts kicking his wife as hard as he can. He’s holding onto a table to maintain his own balance. 
 
That’s how much force is being used.
 
Then he drags her by the hair into a bathroom – where there are no CCTV cameras. Any footage of her after that has been erased.
 
But the ex-minister is seen many times after on the security footage. Spending time with other women – a lunch date with an influencer, texting an alleged sex worker, all while his wife lay dying in the VIP booth of the restaurant. 
 
His excuse for why he couldn’t call for help or get his wife's battered body out of the restaurant? Well—because— Vladimir Putin is coming.

#356: Ex-Minister Beats Wife To Death For 8 Hours THEN Goes To Lunch Date With Influencer In Next Room

That was it. He was going to kill her. 
Sato, a bachelor, a young man who still lived with his mother terrorized her within the walls of her own home.
Sure, she could still go out, enjoy her life, but Sato had control over the household in a way that made her feel suffocated. 
Trapped. 
Sato’s mother called the police on him the first time she felt that her life was truly in danger. She was sure he would kill her. 
At least that was the version she told the police. But when they came to her house and found a kidnapped girl in her son, Sato’s bedroom—
They discovered the girl had been missing for nearly a decade. 
She was nine years old when she had disappeared. 
Still, the mother kept to her story. That she too, was held emotionally captive and it seems the police believed her. 
But the girl, now a young woman, remembers things a little bit differently

#355: Man Kept A 9-Year-Old Girl In His Room For 10 Years Without His Mom Noticing

He melted onto the street. 
He was 6 years old when he was walking down the street in South Korea. Someone walks up to him and pours sulfuric acid down his throat and all over his face. His clothes were burnt black. The floor had bits of melted flesh. 

Third degree burns over most of his body - the boy had a 5% chance of survival. 
He was rushed to the hospital where he told the officers that the man - “Mr. Kim” who owned the fried chicken shop was running up behind him with the bag of acid. He was the one that did it! 

“Nonsense, acid is liquid. You can’t put it in a plastic bag - it will burn through the plastic.”

That was the police’s response. Had they investigated properly - they would have realized… the fried chicken shop owner was indeed, a little strange.
