For the profession of private detectives, the public perception is shrouded in mystery, with the detectives being perceived as enormously capable.
In fact, being a private detective isn't something just anyone can do, nor is it a job you can simply slide into after serving as a soldier or as a special forces reconnaissance operative.
Working as a private detective requires a high level of technical skill. Thus, Memphis Blackwell, who retired from the intelligence section of a major military region, enlisted at sixteen and joined the intelligence section as a junior serviceman at seventeen. Because he was a serviceman with access to a variety of tasks, he was able to encounter all sorts of high-tech equipment.
In this way, he spent eight years in the intelligence section. When he retired at twenty-five, he was assigned a position in the Public Security Bureau.
