As the population grew, crime surged beyond the capacity of the police, leading to a severe breakdown in public order. To solve this problem, the "Unified Great Detective Organization"—Nest—was established. The only qualification required is intellect. Personality and background are entirely irrelevant. Supporting these flawed Great Detectives are two "Recorders." The only qualification required is compatibility. Ability and personality are entirely irrelevant. From finding lost items to solving heinous major crimes, there is no mystery these Great Detectives cannot solve. To protect the peace of this city and eradicate crime... And to prove that they themselves are worthy of being at the pinnacle of Great Detectives. The Great Detectives and their Recorders solve new mysteries again today.
