New case. New problems. Old raincoat.
You've been thrown out of your posh office into a windowless basement. Even rats borrow change and spit on the carpet. But when the Mayor himself is on the line, sobbing like a schoolgirl, you have no right to say "no."
His wig has been stolen from his safe. But not just any wig—it's one with a government microchip that controls all the city's traffic lights. If the chip falls into the wrong hands, the city will be in a giant traffic jam, and the Sausage Baron will start selling hot dogs for a hundred bucks apiece. Welcome to the most absurd investigation of your career!
