Purely detective/deduction manga with an overarching story

I'm baffled that even after trying for a while I haven't been able to find a manga that fits these categories (Maybe i just suck at finding manga, although I don't think so):

- Seinen (Or at least isn't immature, or has too much "fan-service")
- Realistic (No magic, no deus-ex-machina, no plot armor)
- Pure deduction (Just a guy finding clues and then putting them together - questioning everything basically)
- Modern (Or at least has a decent drawing of the world outside the character expressions and architectural facade, basically that the panels have information beside the character's expressions)
- Realistic interactions (as little drama as possible please, girls don't shout in public while their skirts are flowing in the wind)
- Has a central story (Basically isn't just Detective Conan or Master Keaton where each story is a new adventure. There should at least be a central antagonist and a central story that the manga is driving towards)

I've been trying to find mangas that especially fit the category of "Realistic and Realistic Interactions" but it seems I'm stunned. Is the medium of manga just over-saturated with exaggeration, fan-service, 'mid' stories popularised by big-boobed girls so much so that "The serious" ones have to be by heavy-weights like Naoki Urasawa or forget about it?

It feels lately like the combination of realism and a story that stays good (and doesn't just whimper into the old-reliable open-ended ending) is extremely rare.

Or do I just suck at finding them?
