    Strange, bizarre, and unsolved cases—in his hands, even the most cunning fox will be exposed. While others solve cases through deduction, he relies on "money power" and "handsome charm." Starting as a lowly constable, he later earns the respect of even the prime minister. Amidst court turmoil and the treacherous world of martial arts, this constable becomes everyone's last line of defense. Even imprisoned, as long as the case remains unsolved, he can turn the prison upside down. The thrill of intellectual dominance is incredibly addictive! The villains don't even have time for regret. [Emphasis on chivalry and contrast] Seemingly a playboy, he possesses a pure heart, using the most "unconventional" methods to do the most righteous things. Living in the marketplace, yet with his heart set on the martial world, this is no ordinary constable; he's clearly a reclusive master. His wine jug holds strong liquor, his heart is filled with concern for the common people, and in his arms… he holds a beautiful woman. The world laughs at my madness, but I laugh at their ignorance. This is how a real man should live! Skilled in both literature and martial arts, both gentle and forceful—who wouldn't love a man like that? Saving the world while falling in love—that's a man's ultimate dream! [Highly Recommended/Book-Savior] A must-read for anyone experiencing a reading slump!
