[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The 'entire fortune' vanished without a trace. A woman in her 70s was left pale with shock. There were no signs of forced entry or any disturbance at the door, so where on earth did the money she had cherished and saved all her life go?

At around 2:30 p.m. on the 1st, an urgent report was received at the Jeonpo Police Substation of Busanjin Police Station that 20 million won in cash kept inside the house had disappeared.

Judging it to be a high-value cash theft report, police officers from the Jeonpo Substation and the Busan Police Agency's Forensic Investigation Unit were dispatched to the scene together.

The grandmother lived in an old apartment and had placed her entire savings of about 20 million won under the bed, but she was restless because it was gone.

The forensic investigation team officers who arrived at the scene examined the surroundings but found no signs of external intrusion. The grandmother lived alone and had no visitors.

"Let's not miss even a speck of dust." The investigation team suspected the possibility that the grandmother might have forgotten where she put the cash, so they reassured her and began a meticulous search as if turning the place upside down.

Even after disassembling the stone bed, the money was nowhere to be found. After more than an hour, Sergeant Hwang Seong-jin shouted. The money was hidden inside the pillow. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The 'incident' ended as a misunderstanding, but if it weren't for the police officers, it would have been a hellish day for the grandmother who almost lost her entire life savings.

"Since the money might 'disappear' again, how about keeping it in a bank?" Sergeant Hwang advised the grandmother as he left the house.
