The great detective, Gokotai Kaze. His assistant, me, Narumiya Yugure.
After meeting for the first time in 20 years, the former great detective and his assistant embark on a journey to verify their past deductions
- the birth of a new masterpiece by Sakuraba Kazuki!

There was once an era of great detectives. Once a difficult case occurred, great detectives appeared out of nowhere, logically solved the mystery without being influenced by the police or the media, and left. They were in the limelight and built a golden age, but they were quickly forgotten after the mid-Heisei period. ...More than 20 years have passed since then, and now that we are in the Reiwa era, a popular YouTube channel has suddenly started to denounce great detectives. The target of the attack is Gokotai Kaze, one of the four great detectives. Who is the mysterious accuser who says, "A great detective took away my life. I will never forgive Gokotai Kaze"? Narumiya Yugure, once an assistant to a great detective and the once great detective set out on a journey to verify their past cases.
