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)

Is there anything more to report to the President?

No.

Then, call me again at 4 P.M..

But call me any time if something comes up.

Certainly.

Talk to you later.

M-Systems Mashiba Yoshiyuki-sama.

I'm glad that your father didn't seriously hurt himself.

Me too!

I was worried that he'd have to stay in bed all the time.

He called me in a total panic after he fell down, even though he barely hurt his back.

He may have just wanted to see you...

You haven't seen your father since you got married, right?

You didn't have a formal wedding ceremony either.

It's a bit shameful to wear a wedding dress if you're over 40 years old, right?

So, how's your newly-wed life going?

It's been a year, right?

It's a lot of fun.

Going on trips, going out for dinner...

He's a rich businessman, right?

Rich and a gentleman, he's the ultimate husband isn't he?!

That's right!

Are you going to have kids?

I think its a little too late.

Excuse me, can we have more of the same wine.

Yes, certainly.

By the way, do you remember "The Devil's Hand" incident that happened recently?

It involved Professor Y at University T, right?

The criminal mentioned them specifically.

That's Yukawa-kun you know.

Yukawa-kun?

Don't you remember? He was our classmate in junior high school.

Yukawa Manabu-kun?

Ah, he transferred to our school!

Didn't he transfer back to a school in Tokyo?

He's a physicist now. He's an associate professor at Teito University.

I had no idea...

He's helped the police to solve lots of cases.

The police?

Even though he's physicist, why?

I don't know.

Excuse me, can you clean up the table?

Certainly.

Hello?

This is Kato from M-Systems.

Kato-san.

Do you know where the president is?

We were supposed to have a meeting with the president at 4 P.M.,

but we can't get in touch with him.

He told me that he was going to stay at home the whole day.

Galileo

Redemption Part 1

Your husband was found lying dead in the kitchen.

I asked them to check on him...

because he didn't answer the phone.

His body is undergoing an autopsy right now.

The cause of death is still unknown.

Can't I see him?

I'm afraid...

May I take you to Kaizuka-Kita police station to talk?

Can I go back home first?

I'm not sure whether this is a dream or reality.

I know how you feel.

Mashiba

We're still investigating.

Your husband was attacked while he was drinking coffee.

Excuse me.

Everything left behind went to CSI for analysis.

Can you have a look at this?

A broken coffee cup,

2 used coffee filters, one in the sink, and the other in the coffee maker.

A coffee can.

A bottle of mineral water in the trash.

And a kettle.

Are these all yours?

I think so.

How long will it take for the police to finish their investigation here?

It'll be a while.

Then, I'm going to stay at a hotel.

Staying here is a little...

I know that you're very confused right now.

It will really help us if you do that.

Can I water the flowers upstairs?

The planter on the second floor veranda hardly gets any rain.

Go ahead.

We don't have a bathroom upstairs.

I see.

Since you can't water your plants for a while I'll take care of it for you.

Thank you.

Ohtagawa-san, can you check this out?

Yes.

They're beautiful.

My husband liked these flowers too.

Why...Why did such a horrible thing happen to me?

Ayane-san.

I thought you only liked instant coffee, Professor..

I won a badminton tournament and got this coffee maker as a prize.

Once I started using it I found it more convenient than I expected.

It's economical too.

You should have bought one a long time ago.

I don't think so.

Coffee makers have one big defect.

Defect?

It can't replicate the taste of instant coffee.

Professor, I'm speechless...

In fact, there's been a murder.

Don't interrupt our conversation!

Mashiba Yoshiyuki-san (43) was killed by drinking poisoned coffee.

What?

Poisoned...

The official name of the poison is sodium arsenide.

It's a deadly poison, commonly known as arsenic.

This looks like a murder.

It's most likely a premeditated murder.

A premeditated murder?!

Kishitani-kun.

Why do we think that it's a premeditated murder?

Because the use of arsenic was thoroughly prepared.

You're... trying to use the confusion of the moment to tell me more about the case aren't you?

However, it has absolutely nothing to do with physics.

His wife was in Hokkaido on the day of the incident.

And Mashiba-san was at home alone.

Leave us alone, we don't know anything about arsenic anyway.

This does have something to do with you.

Let me finish!

What?

Until 10 in the morning, Mashiba-san was perfectly healthy.

His co-workers saw him through a web-cam meeting they had that morning.

Web-cam?

At that time Mashiba-san was drinking coffee.

Drinking coffee?

According to the CSI report, arsenic was detected in the coffee found on the floor.

Of course, it was found in the coffee cup as well.

Cut it out!

Arsenic was also detected in the used coffee filter found near the sink as well as in the kettle.

Hey!

Arsenic wasn't detected in the used filter found in the sink or in the mineral-water bottle found in the garbage.

What do you mean?

Mashiba-san probably made a cup of coffee with this filter in the morning,

and made another cup of coffee with this filter in the afternoon.

In other words, the poison was added between the time the first cup and second cup of coffee were made.

Most likely, somebody put poison into the kettle.

Why do you think so?

Because arsenic wasn't detected in the mineral-water bottle or in the tap water.

When you think about the process of making coffee the kettle is the logical suspect.

Arsenic was detected in everything to my left.

I see.

Just as I thought, this has nothing to do with physics.

What? Ah, I shouldn't be talking about the investigation with you!

Even though the victim was at home, the criminal was able to put poison in the kettle.

That's physically impossible.

A thief can still break in even if someone is at home.

My TV was stolen from my apartment while I was napping in my room.

There's no way something lame like that would have happened at Mashiba's residence.

How come?

His house was protected by a home security system.

I see.

However, as I said, this has nothing to do with physics.

That's right.

Now, let's talk about the main subject.

Using the video intercom recording from Mashiba's house we found out that there was a visitor between 10 A.M. and 4 P.M.

A visitor?

This is a picture taken by the intercom's camera.

All you can see is an umbrella.

She visited him at 2:04 P.M.

Mashiba Yoshiyuki-san opened the door and answered.

He didn't turn off the alarm.

We've detected a break-in alarm.

Sorry, I opened the door without turning off the alarm.

I see.

It's common for people to open their doors without turning off their alarms.

So the security company didn't bother to send guards to investigate.

So, you don't know if this lady with a purple umbrella went inside or not.

That's right.

And the web-cam meeting at 4 P.M.

Since they couldn't get in touch with Mashiba-san,

they called his wife who was in Hokkaido.

The wife then called the security company and asked them to check on her husband.

The guards found his dead body.

The victim was most likely killed sometime between 2 P.M. and 3 P.M.

In other words, he was murdered right around the time the lady with the umbrella visited him.

I see. Then she's definitely the most suspicious person.

It's very interesting.

And it was an excellent presentation.

Even though I kept telling you that your case has nothing to do with physics,

you kept telling us the details of the investigation without giving up,

built up a hypothesis that has nothing to do with physics,

and finally, you lead us to the conclusion that it has nothing to do with physics.

That's what we call... a super presentation.

Well done!

Professor!

I have zero interest.

Go home, you blabbermouth woman!

I haven't told you the conclusion.

All you have to do is find that lady with the purple umbrella.

That's right!

Even though it has nothing to do with physics, it does have something to do with Professor Yukawa.

With the professor?

Look at the people in this picture.

Take a look at this lady next to the recently deceased Mashiba-san.
