Point It Out

Why are you hesitating, Kanako?

Haven't you liked Horibe-senpai since you were in junior high?

That's true, but...

You're super lucky!

He's said that he likes you too.

Hey, do you have a boyfriend?

Nope.

I see.

Then, do you want to be my girlfriend?

How come you didn’t say YES?

It's a serious question.

I have to ask first.

That again?

You have to trust your feelings...

Can I ask a question?

Yuka-chan, can you take these coupons to school and hand them out?

But I've already graduated from junior high school.

Thank you very much.

Should I be Horibe-senpai's girlfriend?

Hey, Kishitani!

Hey?

What the hell is this?

Ah, that's my report.

Why do you keep talking to me so casually even though I'm your senpai?

What do you want?

Listen, this doesn't explain anything.

How was the dog of that murdered old lady actually found?

A high school girl found the dog with a pendulum,

Is it Supernatural Power?

I don't get it.

I wrote exactly what I saw.

This totally doesn't make sense, right?

As a report for a murder case this just doesn't cut it.

But it's the truth.

Confirming the facts is the first step of investigation, isn't it?

Then what's the second step?

You have to provide reliable evidence so that all of the other police working the case can understand what happened.

Reliable evidence?

You can ask an expert.

Like a school professor...

I don't want to get involved with that kind of people.

Kishitani, do you want me to tell you what everybody calls you?

"Teito University prodigy"

No!

"***-chan"

What?

"***-chan"

Teito University

Dynamics has 4 main theories.

For example, you and I are riding on the same train.

If the train isn't moving then we're stuck at the station.

However, once the train starts moving,

we start swaying.

Then everyone on the train will start moving the same way,

and the train continues moving forward.

This is the First Law of Motion.

In other words, the "Law of Inertia".

He's so cool!

I'll stand beside Professor Yukawa on the train anytime!

Me too!

So I want to know how that girl discovered the dog.

That's because...

it was an accident.

There's no way it can be an accident.

Then, it's supernatural powers!

Can I write a special feature about it?

I'm asking you seriously.

Are you really a detective?

You're just a student from this university, right?

I said I'm a detective didn't I...

Ha-ha, I totally don't understand what you're asking me.

An object standing still will continue being stationary.

If power is added to an object is will start accelerating uniformly with linear motion.

I thought you weren't coming to see me anymore.

Nobody but girls!!!

First, I'll provide a summary of the incident.

Yesterday at around 7 in the morning,

Nohira Mitsuko-san (72) whose house is in Omori-town was found dead.

Her daughter who lives in Chiba discovered the body.

This is a synchronization experiment using the Law of Inertia.

I'll start moving all 32 metronomes randomly.

Please.

The daughter went to visit her mother, who lives by herself, because she couldn't get in touch and was worried.

It looked like someone had searched Nohira's home.

Mother?!

Mother!

Since the alarm clock stopped at 10:02, the suspect must have broken in...

They'll start moving the same way shortly.

The vibration of each metronome is transferred to those around it causing synchronization.

It is believed that the suspect entered Nohira's house 2 days before her body was found.

The Professor isn't going to help you with your investigations anymore.

Why don't you shut up, Mr. Assistant?

What?!

Ah, they're synchronizing!

By putting a number metronomes on a board suspended by wires,

the periodic vibrations synchronize and Entrainment occurs.

Take notes!

Yes.

And then,

it was found that gold bars were missing from Nohira-san's house.

Gold bars?

She hid her valuables behind a Buddhist alter.

What?

Oh, it's getting more synchronized!

This Entrainment has the limit cycle.

And one more thing.

Somehow, Kuri-chan was missing.

Kuri-chan?

Please come with me! My mother is dead!

It was Nohira-san's pet dog.

That's my nickname of a junior high school.

Kuri-chan was a stupid mongrel of a dog that barked at everybody.

Kuri-chan was good-for-nothing?

What?

It's coming!

Furthermore, Kuri-chan was found dead at a location a few hundred meters away from Nohira-san's house on the same night that Nohira-san's body was found.

What?

One more!

And soon, this will be...

Why did Kuri-chan die?

That's not important.

It is!

The problem is...

The problem is?

What is it?

The problem is...

The way that the dog was found.

It's about to synchronize.

A high school girl...

Perfectly synchronized.

She found the dog using a pendulum!

What?

A pendulum?

Galileo Episode 2, Point It Out

In other words, this is a robbery and murder incident.

Robbery and murder incident

Nohira Mitsuko-san (72) was murdered around 10pm on April 13.

30 million yen worth of gold bars hidden behind a Buddhist alter was stolen.

Her pet dog, Kuri-chan, was missing when Nohira-san's body was found.

And later, Kuri-chan was found dead in another location.

The suspect must have killed Kuri-chan.

Why did he kill Kuri-chan too?

However, the most mysterious thing about this incident is,

how Kuri-chan's dead body was found.

How?

I saw a high school student amongst a crowd of curious spectators during our investigation.

Kuri-chan.

Excuse me.

Sorry to stop you.

Mase Kanako

Do you know that old lady?

We're neighbors.

She seemed to be popular among the kids in this area.

Have you been to her house before?

When I was an elementary school kid...

I trust my instincts.

That girl, Mase Kanako-chan, knows something.

Why did you think so?

What? Ah... It's a detective's intuition.

There it is! A detective's intuition?

It's totally illogical.

Stupid dog, be quiet!

I found her house and did a stakeout.

I'm not Kuri-chan you know.

And at that time, I saw something.

It was just after 10 o'clock at night.

Kanako-chan came out of her house.

She muttered something to herself.

The pendulum...

Started spinning.

It can't be...

Kanako-chan put the pendulum back in her pocket.

Ouch!

Stay here.

The washroom is that way.

And when she reached an intersection...

What is she doing?

She kept doing the same thing again and again.

She walked as if she was guided by that pendulum.

What's that?

And then Kanako-chan finally reached that street.

She began to walk while holding the pendulum in front of her.

And then she stopped.

Are you all right?

What?

Kuri-chan.

Pesticide was detected in Kuri-chan's blood.

Nohira-san's murderer must have poisoned Kuri-chan and then disposed of the body.

How could he do that?

A substance we believe as human blood was found on Kuri-chan's teeth.

That must be the suspect's blood!

Kuri-chan must have bitten him.

Since that blood's DNA data is still being analyzed,

I can't identify the suspect yet.

The problem is that pendulum.

That's right.

Crystal?

I was searching for Kuri-chan using this crystal.

Are you serious?
