Galileo 2 (Uso wo tsuku, nazo wo toku / See through the lies, solve crimes / ガリレオ / 嘘を突く 謎を解く)

Dear Policemen,

I'm a man that has The Devil's Hand.

By using this hand, I can cause people to die whenever I want.

The police can't stop me.

June 3

Because people can't see The Devil's Hand.

Therefore, the police will have to call my crimes accidents.

Since you're all morons, you probably think this letter is a prank.

So, I'm going to do a demonstration.

Then, you'll understand how powerful I am.

What the hell is this all about?

It's a confession...

The Devil's Hand... Do you think it's for real?

If you can't deal with this on your own, go ask for help from Professor Y at T University.

What?

This battle will make it clear which scientist is the true genius.

Say hello to the Associate Professor for me From, The Devil's Hand

T University?

Professor Y...

Yukawa Manabu

Kishitani speaking.

I received a weird letter.

Letter?

The sender is...

The Devil's Hand.

I received another letter.

It's the second one.

The police received a second letter too.

As I said in my previous letter, I've demonstrated the power of The Devil's Hand.

I caused Ueda Shigeyuki to die from a fall.

That's the same letter that we got.

What are you doing?

This is a wave motion experiment using a spring.

I see.

In fact, after we received the first letter Ueda Shigeyuki-san fell to his death.

What?

Ueda-san was a window cleaner.

He fell while cleaning the windows of a pachinko parlor in Shinagawa.

We're investigating the relationship between this letter and his death.

So far, we haven't found any clues.

Since you got this letter after the accident...

This must have been written they watched the news.

Most likely.

Anyway, calling himself "The Devil's Hand" sounds really lame.

The Devil's Hand

However, the first letter...

The letter sent to the police had this line.

"As usual, go and ask for help from Professor Y at T University."

Professor Yukawa at Teito University!

So that's why I got that letter..

"Let's have a contest to see which scientist is the true genius."

What?

This is your fault.

What?

The only reason this kind of article is in a weekly magazine is because someone someone told them about me.

It wasn't me.

I don't intend to cooperate with the police.

I just want to find out the truth behind mysterious phenomena.

I know that. But it wasn't me!

The Professor hates appearing in the mass media like this.

That's why I apologized to him.

Is that an apology?

I'm very sorry about this article.

But, if this Devil's Hand issue started because of this article...

It's nothing serious, right?

Take a look at the back of the second letter that was sent to me.

What?

The back?

The second letter...

Where is it?

I had it.

The back?

Give it to me!

Internet address?

I've accessed that site.

This is it.

The little wish?

The official website of a movie?

Message

There's a message.

I'm going to see this movie on June 3.

I should be careful not to fall because of too much excitement.

From a window cleaner at a pachinko parlor in Shinagawa.

This was written on June 2nd.

What?

June 2nd?

It's the day before Ueda-san died.

This may be the suspect's advance notice of his crime.

Does The Devil's Hand really exist?

I don't yet know if it really exists or not.

However, if the advance notice of the crime was written the day before the incident occurred,

and somebody died as it claimed they would,

it's no longer just a case of mischief is it?!

Professor Yukawa, do you know anybody who would do this kind of idiotic thing?

Who?

I have no idea. All I know about people is what they've achieved in their lives.

I don't know anything about their personalities.

I have no idea.

However, since the sender of the letters says that he's a scientist,

The Devil's Hand is using scientific methods to commit the crimes, not some sort of occult power.

That's right.

Then...

Do you know any scientists who hate you?

They certainly exist. However, I don't care about that sort of people.

He doesn't care about that kind of thing.

Those who knows Professor Yukawa... and hate him.

You're a scientist, sort of...

What?

You've been an assistant since Professor Yukawa was a student, right?

That's right.

However, he surpassed you and then allowed you to be his assistant...

What's your point?

You must be jealous.

I am not!

You have a grudge against him.

I don't have a grudge!

Do you hate him?

I don't hate him!

I like him! I like him very much!!

I don't mean it like that...

As a man!

I'll question you at the police station.

Come with me?

Professor, help me!

Kuribayashi-san isn't the kind of man who'd do such a terrible thing.

Professor.

Kuribayashi-san isn't the kind of man who'd do such a terrible thing?

Professor Yukawa, it's not like you to have an illogical opinion like that.

You!

I'm not joking.

The Devil's Hand may have really killed somebody.

Even so, don't get us involved in your case.

That's right!

You're already been involved, aren't you?

The Devil's Hand is challenging you.

Professor, you're already right in the middle of this case.

What's the point of challenging me?

The suspect should be challenging the police instead, right?

Even if he beats me he won't win any fame or prizes.

That's right. They'll get nothing. Nothing!

Listen!

Professor, you absolutely have to win!

Otherwise somebody else may be killed.

Galileo Episode 9, Disturbance

It's up there.

Ueda-san was in charge of cleaning these windows every Monday.

Since he was a veteran and was a little overconfident, he didn't use a safety belt.

However, at the time he fell there was no one near him.

In other words, he wasn't pushed off by some one.

That's right.

Was there a tremor that shook the building?

No.

There wasn't even a strong wind up there.

From here, I wouldn't be able to tell if he was wearing a safety belt.

From here, I'd have a clear view of the workers.

What are you doing?

He fell 30 meters to the ground.

30... How do you know that?

My arm is 59 cm long.

The length of my thumb is 6.6 cm.

In other words, the angle from the top to the bottom of my thumb is 6.4 degrees.

If I stick out my thumb like this, the height of that building is about 17 thumbs.

Therefore it's about 30 meters high.

Wow, that's the first time I've actually seen someone use mathematics in real life!

Impressive...

This isn't mathematics.

It's a mere calculation.

How was he pushed off the building in a way that looked like an accident?

Don't tell me, some sort of invisible power.

There are many types of invisible power in this world.

For example, magnetism,

and universal gravitation.

Even between you and I, there's gravity.

However, the suspect didn't use either of these kinds of invisible power.

If magnetism were used, other things would have fallen down along with the window washer.

It'd be the same with gravity.

Even if there was a black hole, the result should have been the same.

It's very interesting.

I've proved the The Devil's Hand is real.

Now, I have a request.

I want the police to hold a press conference, and let the people know about me.

However, if you do that, I'm sure that impostors pretending the be The Devil's Hand will appear.

I'll give you a way to tell who the impostors are.

It's a table of random numbers.

The Devil's Hand, Column-S, Row-G, 96.

A table of random numbers?

This is a copy.

I see. It seems like a code.

Column-S, Row-G... 96.

With this, you'll easily be able to tell which letters are real and which are fake.

He's a very kind criminal.

He wants us to let the people know about him.

He must be the kind of person who craves the limelight.

And he's also worried about impostors pretending to be The Devil's Hand.

This suspect actually believes that we'll accept his demand.

Are you going to hold a press conference?

The Police? Of course not!

We won't let him push his luck any further.

The suspect wrote this at the end of the letter.

P.S. I'll do a second demonstration soon.
