Otasuke Ura Doshin Juzo Gumi Kakioroshi Chohen Jidai Shosetsu (Kosu Mikku Jidai Bunko)

[Machine Translation] Who started calling them "Shigezo's group"? The one who called his friends to the abyss of the Kawarazaki-za, a playhouse, was Shigezo Gojusaka, a skillful former assistant in charge of the Kitamachi Magistrate Office. As a young man, he had caught a number of miscreants as a Teicho-mawari, and after being transferred to the "Hikari-bata," he used his sharp mind to handle a number of unsolved cases. Shigekura, too, had gone into retirement with Kanbei as his successor, but there was no end to the number of people who came to him for advice on cases and petitions in recognition of his character and achievements. Shigezo therefore formed a private magistrate's office, so to speak, to share people's suffering and sorrow and to heal their hearts. Together with trusted members of the team - Tomigoro, a former secret agent, Okon, a hairdresser, and Hayato Arifune, a Dutch doctor - they took up the challenge of solving a case that had once been solved. Today, they use their keen insight to clear Ichirin's suspicions and uncover the whole story!
