Missing Detectives Case

The **Missing Detective Case** is a serial murder case. Recently, detectives all over the world have been found dead after they went missing.

## History

Because detectives have been disappearing all over the world, the World Detective Alliance is looking into the matter. So far, all victims possess either an A- or S-rank detective license.

After the corpses of three missing detectives are found, the World Detective Alliance's network is illegally accessed and they receive a strange video message from a disguised person holding a copy of the *Guardian of the Citadel*: They state that the disappearances and killings will continue until they figure out what the "opposite" of a "detective" is. The video is then sent to Aimee Emmerich, and a spokesman informs her about the Alliance's analysis and plan of action. Shortly afterward, Aimee is shot to death in her office, and two more missing detectives are found dead.

Right after Spitz Feier reads about this development, he is approached by Winter Moriarty. Winter saw the video that was sent to the Alliance and is now looking for the person in it. They believe they might be the same person who is currently destroying the M. Family as the symbol inside the *Guardian* was found next to their brother's corpse along with the words "Who's the useless one?".

Later, Spitz and Winter—disguised as BLUE's vice principal—head to where the latest victim was found; Winter identifies him as Kenneth See, a BLUE instructor. Afterward, Winter and Spitz discuss the case. Winter swears that the M. Family is not behind the murders and confirms that Mylo is indeed dead and not pulling strings from the shadows because he would have never acted like the person in the video. Further, because Winter is the only one still alive out of Mylo's siblings, the culprit might target him next.

When they fail to contact Ron Kamonohashi and Totomaru Isshiki, Spitz and Winter head to BLUE where the drawbridge is raised, an indicator that the emergency isolation system is running. Meanwhile, Ron and Totomaru investigate and solve the Cryptid Serial Murders Case within the academy. After they apprehend the culprit, Winter and Spitz join Toto, Ron, and the police to examine the secret underground passageways. There, they discover the room from where the person in the video filmed their message to the World Detective Alliance.

Further, Winter spots a copy of the *Guardian of the Citadel* on the ground. The handprint mark on the book and Billie Za Gozzila singing "Humpty Dumpty had a great fall... and then his hair was silky and smooth" while being escorted to the paddy wagon allow Winter to figure out the culprit's true identity.

Two days later, Ron heads to the World Detective Alliance to inform them about Winter's discovery. Albeit skeptical about the provided information, two Alliance members thoroughly question Ron about the matter. When they are done, they inform him that, since the conclusion of the Cryptid Serial Murders Case, there have not been any new victims in the Missing Detectives Case.

Afterward, Ron informs Totomaru and Spitz that he offered to help catch the culprit, but the Alliance turned him down and suggested that he should return to Japan. The Alliance has also assembled a special team to investigate the Missing Detectives Case further and prohibited any "outsiders" from engaging with the case. Ron is certain that the special team will not be successful though, stating that he is the only one capable of solving the mystery and defeating the culprit.
