private detectives

Anybody know of any asian dramas or movies with private eyes as the lead character, preferaribly set in the 40's

I have seen the long goodbye.

Thank you, kreps.

here try this: Assassination and you can watch it here: Assassination 

Thank's folk. Yep, saw private eye, and asssassination diesn't seem to have anything tt private detectives. 
Anyway just googled "asian movies about private detectives"
came up with The Accidental detective"-korea, and that's all. I guess it's not a big thing in asian cinema.

Hmm, I'm sure I saw that one. But for some reason I forgot to grade it. But In case I'm wrong, I;ll check it out again.
Than;s for suggesting it.
