Season 2
Following the events of Mrs. Cop, Park Jong-ho (Kim Min-jong) of Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency planned to fill in Crime Squad Team One since its leader Choi Young-jin (Kim Hee-ae) left and the rest of her team followed suit. The head of police recommended Ko Yoon-jung (Kim Sung-ryung) to be the new leader. She has just returned to South Korea from New York after 6 years wherein she trained with the F.B.I. She intended to reopen the Bundang female college student murder case that she solved in 2010 because she discovered that the imprisoned culprit Min Jong-bun (Kim Byung-chul) is actually innocent. As the new team captain, she formed the new Crime Squad Team One composed of Bae Dae-hoon (Lee Joon-hyuk), Kang Sang-chul (Kim Hee-chan), Oh Seung-il (Lim Seul-ong), and Shin Yeo-ok (Son Dam-bi).
The first assignment of the team was the Jung Mi-ryung murder case in which CEO Lee Ro-joon (Kim Bum) of EL Capital is the principal suspect. After an in-depth investigation, Yoon-jung deduced that this is not a standalone case but rather a serial murder case that took place every March 15 for the last 6 years (from 2010 to 2015), starting with the Bundang female college student murder case. In turn, she ruled out Ro-joon as the suspect since he was not in the country until 2011. However, she suspected Ro-joon to have pertinent info about the case so she pursued him. She was tricked into a deal with Ro-joon to exempt him from the reinvestigation in exchange for the info about the real criminal. Eventually, his tip helped Yoon-jung and her team capture the real culprit Kim Ha-ram (Seo Young).
Next, the team decided to take on the case of pickpocketing which Jong-ho and Detective Jung frowned upon. While looking for intel, they discovered a lead to the big-time swindler Joo Hee-chul (Lee Jae-yong) instead. After two undercover missions, they caught the swindler and his group in an armed operation.
Yoon-jung discovered EL Capital's investment in Hee-chul so she met with Ro-joon personally to question its validity. As she was leaving their meeting place, she stumbled upon the case of Ha Sung-woo's (Yoo Jang-young) disappearance. Not long after, they found Sung-woo's corpse in a river. After meeting with the sole witness Lee Hae-in (Jang Seo-kyung), she confirmed her suspicion that Ro-joon is the murderer in this case. They arrested him with Director Baek Jong-shik (Choi Jin-ho) as his accomplice. However, Hae-in appeared to have attempted suicide before testifying in the trial. Without a witness, the murder case had no evidence to proceed. Through Yoon-jung's keen insight and Ro-joon's confession, it is revealed that he staged her suicide through coercion and betting in a game. However, this case could not be proven as Yoon-jung's attempt to record Ro-joon's confession failed. Since Hae-in is in critical condition and unable to testify, the prosecutor did not appeal the case. Therefore, Ro-joon was found innocent for now.
In the meantime, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency set an operation to capture the Gangnam gangster group that controls illegal drug markets across the country. They succeeded and arrested all gang members except for two. Upon further inquiry, it turned out that the missing members were killed by Ro-joon in self-defense when he was attacked by the gang. Though they wanted to prosecute him, the murders were valid on the basis of self-defense.
