Morning Edition

The City Police are reducing their response to minor crimes and civil matters, citing a shortage of investigative personnel. As a result, requests to private detectives in the city have surged.

"We can't rely on the police."

"We can't make it public."

"But we still want to know the truth."

— Not a few clients say so.

Tonight again, someone will knock on a door beyond the fog.

■ About Private Detectives

Private detectives in MISTHAVEN refer to private investigators who handle cases that are difficult for the city police to address.
There are no restrictions on the types of cases accepted.
The cases accepted vary greatly depending on the detective's specialty and beliefs.

■ Examples of Common Cases

Missing Person Searches

Theft Cases

Extortion Cases

Background Checks

Escort Requests

Mansion Investigations

Mysterious Case Investigations

Re-investigation of Unsolved Cases

In recent years, there has been an increasing trend in "cases that cannot be made public" within aristocratic society.

■ About Investigation Methods

Detectives may undertake the following actions as necessary:

Interviews

On-site Investigations

Stakeouts

Tailings

Evidence Collection

Undercover Investigations

Document Research

Negotiations with Involved Parties

Furthermore, there is no single correct method of investigation. The path to the truth will differ for each detective, even for the same case.

■ About the Assistant System

The detective profession has a high accident rate due to solo operations.
Therefore, many detectives employ assistants.
Assistants serve various roles depending on the detective, such as assistants, record keepers, bodyguards, negotiators, and information gatherers.
Of course, there are also detectives who operate alone.

■ In Closing

The sound of a knock on the office door late at night is not always from a client.
Sometimes the client is the perpetrator.
Sometimes the victim lies.
And sometimes, the case itself chooses the detective.

Please keep the above in mind.
