Premise

The series focuses on the adventures of Ron Kamonohashi, an eccentric private detective, and Totomaru Isshiki, an unskilled police officer, as they solve crimes together.[3] Five years ago, Ron was the top student at the Detective Training Academy Blue. However, after being found responsible via temporary insanity for a deadly incident known as the "Bloody Field Trip", his detective license was revoked and he was expelled. Unable to fulfill his only love of solving mysteries, Ron has lived in isolation since. When Totomaru seeks his help on a case, the two form a partnership where Totomaru takes the credit for the cases that Ron solves.
