A feast of real-life reasoning, with the ultimate trick of the stand-in, returning to the golden age of real-life reasoning in Japan. Well-known fashion designer Ryoko Kishihama trained a similar-looking Hatsuko Shibata as a stand-in, Hideki Kazeyama helped his friend Isao Kojima fabricate an alibi, and Masao Ogan ran around the streets of Osaka to create the illusion of being witnessed. The three people have evil intentions and act independently. The severed hand sent to the company, the head abandoned on the luggage rack, and the torso lying on the floor of the divination classroom were confirmed to belong to the same person. At the same time, the whereabouts of the mysterious fortune teller Ren Gengzi are unknown... Who is the deceased? What kind of trap will the intricate substitute conspiracy and alibi intertwine into? A long fantasy novel, exquisite mystery puzzles, and endlessly memorable prose. Welcome to "The Myth of the Detective" by Haruo Yamazawa!
