Summary:
“Just call me Rudie. No formalities needed either. The nature of this case is very delicate. Additionally, after reading the Treaty Blade tale in the Mythrill Eye, I believe you would be best suited to this job if you choose to accept it.” “Gladly, dear Rudie! Now, let us listen in to what cur to track down. Is it a theft? A murder? A maiden in danger who needs protecting? Perhaps something only a gentleman is capable of?” “I need you to go into our holding cells and interrogate Inspector Briardien.”
A fellow inspector in asylum! Will the conniving Inspector Briardien cooperate with this case? Does a Manderville Man have what it takes to save this priceless treasure? The only one who truly knows is six feet under...
The key to this case is a combination lock! Wait, what do you mean that's not it?
