| Summary | Minami Ichitarou is a self-proclaimed numismatist whose eccentricities – like paying for lunch with ancient gold coins – are as flamboyant as his attire. But this bizarre act catches the eye of a mansion steward, drawing Minami into the perplexing disappearance of millionaire coin collector, Haruyama Noboru. Eight months ago, Haruyama vanished, leaving behind a colossal fortune, a house divided by warring heirs, and two baffling clues: a sword-shaped coin and a mysterious silver key. As Minami's bumbling facade peels away, a keen intellect emerges, determined to unearth the truth buried beneath the family's bitter secrets. Will his unconventional methods expose a killer, or will the missing fortune remain lost forever? |
