What do you mean by "their samurai skills"? And what kind of mysteries do you mean?

Samurai formed the backbone of the Edo era police force, although I don't know
if that's what you're looking for.

Well, what they have learned over the years, something
like kiddnapping, theft, gambling, murder, things like
that.

Edogawa Ranpo - Or as we say in English, Edgar Alan Poe ;) Wrote the
Sherlock Holmes of Japan stories. Many movies were made of them, some
of them quite bad. Sorry too late!

How about the Baikin mysteries? He's an assasin working as a masseuse
if I remember correctly. These books were translated into English...
