"Hi." "Who are you?" "You don't need to know." "Her mother found the body." "They found their drowned daughter in the pool - when they returned from vacation." "She drowned to death." "Maybe this would've never happened if she didn't have a pool in her house." "I'm glad we were poor." "The poor drown in their own bathtubs!" "Did she really drown?" "It's her own pool." "You only see the superficial!" "Maybe she got leg cramps while swimming." "There's lots of possibilities why she could've drowned." "Right " "No suspicion of crime in this case!" "Let's call it a day, Utsumi." "Yes." "Wait a minute..." "What's this?" "Excuse me." "The cause of death is heart failure from cardiac arrhythmia." "Basically what most people call a heart failure." "Heart failure?" "Healthy people can have heart failures too?" "Yes, such cases exist." "Yeah, there are!" "Maybe her heart suddenly failed from jumping in too fast!" "Either way, there's no suspicion of crime!" "Are you listening to me?" "But her left breast makes me curious." "That bruise?" " It became necrotic." "Necrotic?" " It's rotten." "Only this part." "I've never seen anything like it before." "It was heart failure, so technically, it's death from a natural cause, - but something about this bruise bothers me." "What are you doing?" "What do you thin will happen when I blow soap bubble on this?" "I don't know." "I don't know her skin became necrotic in the first place." "That's why I don't know where I should start my investigation..." "What?" "!" "It's beautiful!" "What's going on in there?" "Dry ice is made of frozen carbon dioxide." "Relative density to air is approximately 1.5." "Therefore, soap bubbles filled with air will float on top of dry ice." "That's all there is to it." "It must be easy being you." "Completely different from me, who's bound to solving crime cases every day." "You get to play like an elementary school student..." "Are you stressed out by your job?" "Yes, because unlike you, I can't do things that interest me all the time." "What are you talking about?" "I have to give lectures - and I also have to grade my student's papers." "Assessing Kuribayashi-san's performance is also part of my job." "Kuribayashi-san?" "Oh..." "How long has he been an assistant?" "Before I came to this university, - so more than 20 years." " Whoa!" "I guess he wants to become an associate professor - and eventually a full-time professor?" "Wait, can he become one?" " I'm rooting for him." "But judging from this academic thesis, - it will be difficult." "Maybe that is another source of my stress." "That doesn't count as stress!" "Anyway..." "I want a definite answer for this." "How can skin become necrotic?" "That's not a problem in the field of physics." "You overly depend on me for everything." "Galileo Rots" "The who am I supposed to consult this with?" "Ah!" "What are you doing?" "Leave me alone..." "Kuribayashi-san, people like you get stressed out too?" "It was a wonderful presentation." " It's an honor to hear that." "Keep up the good work." "Thank you." "Yukawa-sensei." "My name is Tagami Shouichi, I'm a graduate student her." "Tagami Shouichi?" "Your presentation was wonderful." "I never imagined there would be such new methods, I was touched by it." "Don't tell me that you're Tagami, who wrote that graduation thesis?" "Piezoelectic effect..." "Practical use of gyro-sensor systems using the piezoelectic effect!" "You've read it?" "It was very well written." "I was looking forward to talking with you." "Thank you." "I've always wanted to meet you too, the Genius of Physics." "Contact me any time." "I'll make time to talk with you." " Really?" "!" "Yes." " Thank you." "Good bye." "She had a bruise on her left breast." "I saw her in the gym last week, but - she didn't have anything like that, right?" " Yeah..." "I see, thank you." "Ah!" "So, it was a student here who died." "What are you doing here?" "Oh, some convention?" "Why don't you just ask some dermatologist if you're curious about the bruise?" "I already did!" "No one knows why." "Yukawa-sensei?" "It was a wonderful presentation!" "Can I have your autograph?" "Sure." "Why don't we go out for dinner some time?" "I want to discuss Smolin's Loop Quantum Gravity Theorem with you." "Great idea." "We shall someday." "Thank you!" "What's wrong?" "I was just thinking that you live in a world I can't possibly keep up with." "You don't have to keep up with me, good luck with your investigations." "He's looking down on me for sure!" "A dark, evil emotion is welling up inside me again..." "Skin disease..." "Please visit the Applied Scienses Laboratory if interested, before 2007/12/20" "Anybody here?" "I'm Utsumi of the NKPD." "There's something I would like to consult with you." "Yes, what is it?" "Here you go." "Thank you." "I'm not an expert in employing theories of physics for medical instruments." "But I have encountered many patients through this research." "Our medical examiner told me it's an unusual bruise." "Exposure to radiation." "Wait, frostbite." "No, that's not it..." "Whatever the cause, it shouldn't be related to heart failure." "As I expected..." "Police detectives have to investigate all cases like this?" "No, it's just my personality, I guess." "A young girl died, we can't disregard it so easily." "A sense of justice?" "How admirable." "Admirable?" "Really?" "I have some delicious cookies too." "Have a drink." "Thank you." "How cute!" " I made it myself." "You did?" "!" "Can I touch it?" " Sure." "I carved it from a semi conducting material called " ""silicon wafer," with that machine over there." "Really!" "You can have it." "I can make as many as I want." "Really?" "Go ahead." "Thank you." "Yukawa-sensei." "Tagami-kun?" "I see." "That's quite a refreshing perspective on ion cocktail beams." "I'm delighted to be praised by someone as great as you." "Do you intend to stay in Japan forever?" "I mean, scientists in Japan don't get proper recognition." "All brilliant scientists go-abroad." "You want to eventually go abroad too?" "Yes." "Yes, I want to research about subject that are practical - to society and receive appropriate compensation for it." "It can't be wrong for a scientist to become wealthy!" "Which field of study would you like to get into?" "Hm..." "Maybe the military industry." "Wars will never end, - so the demand for it will never cease." "Working with other brilliant scientists on a chemical weapon - that no one else could imagine will be fun for sure!" ""No one else could imagine?"" "Like a giant hurricane... or a weapon that causes earthquakes!" "That alone is enough to destroy a small country!" "Oh, excuse me..." "I was an anime maniac when I was little." "It's all right." "But all outcomes must have causes." "It is not illogical to think that - a seemingly natural occurring phenomenon was - in fact an outcome caused by artificial means." "I'm surprised!" "You're the only person who takes me seriously on a topic like this." "I'm delighted." "I'm so tired!" "Oh, Yuge-san." "Yo." "I couldn't find any relation between the bruise - on her left breast and her heart failure." "I told you, it can't be murder." "The investigation of "rich girl drowns in a pool at her own mansion" is over." "Later." "I guess so." "I can finally rest!" "Ugh!" "What is it now?" "Tell me the details of that incident again." "Huh?" "At last, I get to see you with my own eyes, Yukawa-sensei." "I've heard plenty of rumors about "Galileo, the Weirdo" from Utsumi-san!" "Jounouchi-san, don't mention things like that..." "Only the epidermis has become necrotic." "Yes, only to the skin depth of first or second-degree burn." "Why are you curious about it now?" "How can you cause heart failure from an external force?" "Huh?" "That force also causes skin to become necrotic." "Are you saying it's a homicide?" "All outcomes must have causes." "The simplest solution is heart failure due to electrocution." "But it's difficult electrocuting someone swimming in a pool." "To ensure that the target dies from electric shock, you must - set up the power cord such that it sandwiches the heart." "Even if it goes well - it would leave burn marks on both sides of the body, - entrance and exit of the elecric current." "Necroses doesn't occur from burns in the first place." "Exactly." "But if this is in fact murder..." "Truly interesting." "Wait a minute!" "Don't suddenly change your opinion!" "I didn't tell you to continue with the investigation." "I'm only interested in how the victim died." "How can you expect me to do nothing after telling me that?" "Then go investigate." "Start with people who died from heart failures in the past 6 months." "What?" "There has to be five to six hundred just in the prefecture alone." "Ah!" "I've been walking around the whole day, I'm totally exhausted!" "What's with him?" "He's so selfish, and ignores the effect of his actions on others." "I can't believe they're both scientists!" "Oops." "Do you know Tagami-san of the Yotsuya Institute of Technology?" "Tagami?" "Gentlemanly and chivalrous despite his young age." "He's the total opposite of Yukawa-sensei!" "Oh, crap." "What are you doing?" "Yukawa-sensei asked me to make a separator for experiments." "Oh, assistant professors have to do things like that too?" "You have to get used to soldering irons!" "It's not a soldering iron!" "This is a plastic welder." "It makes stuff stick using ultrasound." " Ultrasound?" "It's not the same things as your crafts class in middle school!" "Why are you slacking off here anyway?" "I told you, Yukawa-sense..." "And I told you, I don't know where he went!" "I have to get him to clarify his homicide theory of..." "I'm sure he won't come back today." "Why are you so uncooperative, Kuribayashi-san?" "Because it has nothing to do with me!" " I was alredy frustrated!" "I've been accumulating stress for 20 whole years!" "Poor guy." "I don't need your pity!" "Daily Science magazine" "Homicide?" "How can a person intentionally cause heart failures?" "Wasn't it an accident?" "A physics professor assisting me with the investigation says otherwise." "Physics professor?" "Teito University's associate professor, Yukawa." "Do you know him?" "Tagami-san?" "I see..." "Yukawa-sensei..." "But there must be things even he couldn't understand." "What?" "I'll try to think of a solution too." "Ways of causing heart failures, right?" "Thank you." "Good bye!" "Oh, OK." "Thank you for the tea." "Come again any time." "Thank you." "Oh, man!" "I did it again!" "Professor, please give me some more time." "It's not going well with the separator." "Why are you making things like that?" "You told me to..." "Oh." "You didn't need it?" "!" " Please make it." "I might use it one day." "I can't believe he canceled class without notice!" "I'm glad though." "That class is so boring." "For me too, I don't like that professor." "You guys, - can I ask you for a favor?" "So, it's called "assassination"." "Heart failure, heart failure..." "I don't know how to read German!" "Assassinio?" "What are you guys doing?" "!" "Searching the web." "Yukawa-sensei told us to search all these words on websites from around the world." "Heart failure, assassin, - arms, assassination." "Websites from around the world?" "Murase-san, please search in Latin." "Latin?" "What makes you think I can read Latin?" "What are you making them do?" "Tell me, what would you do if you wanted to become a - scientist in a company developing weapons and arms?" "Weapons?" "Usually, you wouldn't know anyone from such companies." "How would you sell yourself to that company?" "That's such an unrealistic scenario..." " Please use your imagination." "You're hopeless as an assistant professor." "So you want to find a job in the military industry." "What would you do?" "That's mean." "Whoa!" "Food here is way better than our cafeteria!" "Um..." "I heard a rumor..." "Is it true that you're assisting the police with their investigations?" "Yes." "With cases like that laser beam igniting someone's head on fire?" "Yes." "That sounds fun!" "I've been thinking - assume a psychic stopped someone's heart with his psychic powers " "Would that become a murder case?" "It would be absolutely impossible to prove." "It would be the perfect crime." "I don't believe in psychic powers." "It's not possible to stop someone's heart without using anything." "If such an incident occurred, " "I will definitely uncover the trick behing it." ""All outcomes must have causes"." " Yes." "Also, a rational motive link these two." "I believe in it." "Psychic powers!" "Maybe I happen to be that psychic!" "This is seriously tasty!" "Delicios." "This is a search result in Spanish." "This is "assassin"." ""Heart failure"." ""Assassination"." ""Arms"." "This is a Cuban website called, "Arms for Assassination Research Center"." "Cuba..." "I translated it." "Revolutionary murder weapon invented." "A method of murder that only seems like heart failure." "Ideal for assassinations." "Can also be converted into military arms." "Effectiveness of the weapon is already confirmed in several tests." "Contact us if interested." "This guy is trying to sell the murder weapon he invented." "Who would buy such things?" "Terrifying!" ""Effectiveness of the weapon is already confirmed in several tests."" ""What's your nationality?"" "Professor, I found it!" "Hey?" "There you are!" "I found two other similar suspicious deaths." "First, on August 16th " "Shimeji Gorou, 42 years old, died in a Asagaya Fuji public bath while bathing." "Cause of death is heart failure." "His body underwent an autopsy exam, but it was determined to be of natural causes." "But there was a bruise on his left chest according to the records." "And... in a Gotanda sauna on October 4th " "Tanigaki Yuusaku-san, 30 years old, died from heart failure." "An employee found him dead in a bath." "There was also a bruise on his left chest." "It took you quite a long time just to find that out." "Huh?" "!" "How much of a hassle did you think it was?" "See?" "What do they all have in common?" "What?" "What does the female university student who died - in her own pool have in common with those two?" "The fact that they died of heart failures, and - they were all healthy." " One more thing." "They all died in water." "In water..." "A diplomat of a country meets a woman." "Huh?" "They become lovers - and the man leaks important national classified information to the woman." "The woman happens to be a spy from a hostile nation." "The man who was no longer useful was later found dead in the hotel's bathtub." "Cause of death was heart failure." "No one would've known that the woman killed him." "Such a tool for murder exists right now." "What's this tool for murder?" "I don't know." "Yukawa-sensei?" "Not the slightest clue." "There were others who died the same way." "It may turn into a serial murder." "That's impossible." "These are the photos." "And what did Yukawa-sensei say about this?" "He was troubled by it." "Usually, he things he doesn't understand amusing..." "I've never seen Yukawa-seisei like that before." "Sorry, I don't understand it either." "I see." "You seem to be pretty tired." "It's because I'm investigating this case by myself." "You alone?" "All my superiors think they're just accidents." "They don't take opinions from a rookie like me seriously." "Then, maybe they're just accidents." "No." "If Yukawa-sensei says so, - then it must be murder." "I trust him as a scientist." "I'll find the perpetrator no matter what." "I'll give you something you'll like." "All expenses paid stay at a hotel." "Hotel?" "I won this on online, - but I can't use it because it's a "lady's plan"." "But..." "Intercontinental?" "If you rest for one whole day and revitalize your - body, I'm sure your investigations will go smoother." "Thank you, but are you sure I can have it?" "Maybe I'll come for a visit too!" "What?" "!" "Just kidding!" "He startled me!" "Yukawa, did you know in clubs - the popularity of a police detective from - the central office is at a whole new level - compared to a police detective from a district branch!" "I'm enjoying it a lot thanks to you." "I'm really grateful for it." "I'm regretting it." "If you weren't my college classmate, " "I wouldn't have been forced to assist the police with their investigations." "I thought you were doing well with Utsumi?" "Thanks to her, I can't focus on my own researches." "Yeah, she always puts everything she's got into work." "It sounded like she was really stressed out on the phone." "She told me she's going to take a day off for the first time - in 3 weeks and get refreshed at the Intercontinental Hotel." "I want to be freed from this too." "Something that serious happened?" "Human minds aren't beautiful like equations." "Not only that - sometimes it's repulsively grotesque." "Just when I thought it's been a while since I've met a refreshing young talent..." "Yukawa-sensei?" "I want to discuss something with you." "How about dinner tonight?" "Unfortunately, I already have plans with someone tonight." "You're the killer, aren't you?" "Did you need research data?" "Or did you just want to prove its effectiveness?" "Don't think you're allowed to do whatever you want just because you're a scientist." "Who are you saing I killed?" "What exactly are you basing your accusations on?" "What's wrong, Yukawa-sensei?" "Oh - you must be disoriented from thinking too hard about a difficult problem." "It turns out you're unexpectedly like a normal person." "You should rest for the day." "And give up on that unsolvable problem." "Good bye." "Thank you." "It's so good!" "Utsumi-san!" "I decided to spend an elegant weekend here too." "May I sit down?" "I wanted to talk to you too." "Am I disturbing you?" "Not at all." "Then, can I join you?" "Yes." "Heart failure - necrosis, water..." "There should be at least one tidy student around here!" "Hey?" "This is Detective Utsumi's..." "She must have dropped it!" "She got it from someone she liked from the Yotsuya Institution of Technology." "Who was it?" "Tanaka?" "Ta..." "Tadokoro?" "No, Tagami, it's Tagami." "How did you know him?" "So, she got secuded by Tagami's handmade brooch!" "In the end, she's still just a woman!" "Handmade?" "That's a silicon wafer, right?" "He carved it with an ultrasonic welder." "Professor..." "We should buy a full-scale ultrasonic welder too, not a toy like this." "Ultrasonic welder?" "How can skin become necrotic?" "Impossible to prove." "It would be the perfect crime." "But when you wear clothes like that, you look like an entirely different person!" "Well, you look completely different too, Utsumi-san." "No one would've guessed that you were a police detective." "Of cource, this is a compliment." "It's been so long since I've had such a nice break!" "Excuse me." "Sorry." "Hello?" "The perpetrator used ultrasound." "Huh?" "When you transmit ultrasound in water... negative pressure will be created, causing hollow spaces and bubble in water." "At the very moment this pressure turns from negative to positive, - it will cause a powerful destructive reaction by - the disappearance of these hollow spaces in water." "Wait, what?" "By applying this principle and intensifying the effects - then by aiming it at a human heart in water - the destructive reaction will transfer from water, to skin, to bodily fluids - until it finally reaches the heart." "The skin became necrotic in the process." "By using water as a conductor, - you can turn ultrasounds into a murder weapon!" "Are you sure about this?" "There can't be any other way." "And the perpetrator is most likely..." "I'm glad we found out how she was killed." "We only have to find the perpetrator now." "It turns out you are unexpectedly like a normal person." " I'll start the investigation tomorrow." " Utsumi-kun!" "Thanks for your help." " Wait!" "I'll work hard starting tomorrow!" "The number you have called is out of range or the phone is turned off " "It was delicious." "Here." "Are you all right?" "I'm fine." "This is your room." "What's wrong with me..." "Take a bath and take it easy." "Well then, good night." "Good night..." "Tagami!" "You bastard!" "I got him!" "Get him up!" "Yes!" "Tagami?" "Utsumi!" "Utsumi-kun was safe." "The man we caught in her room will eventually confess." "That you paid him off for it." "What are you talking about?" "Utilizing ultrasound is a truly creative idea." "But your talent was used for such a foolish purpose..." "What a waste." "Foolish purpose?" "In this world, good and evil constantly coexist." "Talented hackers get hunted by elite online security corporations." "And people working in the military industry don't - think their researches are used for foolish purposes." "If you kill one person, you're a criminal." "But if you hink of a weapon that kills 100,000 - you are a hero!" "You're bound by morality, Yukawa-sensei..." "I'm disappointed." "Morality?" "I was only saying that if you're a scientiest, - you should sincerely tackle the problem in you research." "When you were using ultrasonic tools, - you overlooked the fact that it cause the skin to become necrotic." "You assumed no one would suspect a bruise on the chest." "Therefore, no one would suspect its relation to the heart failure." "But she didn't overlook it." "Incomplete proofs of hypotheses are pointless." "That was... a failed prototype." "Failed prototype?" "!" "No one in the military industry would want to hire someone like you." "That graduation thesis praised by you " "I've been thinking about this while writing it!" "It took me 5 years to complete!" "I'll go abroad and..." " It's impossible for you." "If it took you 5 whole years to create that junk, " "your drink is on me." "If it were me, I wouldn't have left a bruise." "He is a genius... without a doubt!" "I'm so pathetic..." "What are you depressed about?" "Tagami confessed his crimes." "It turned out fine." "The case wouldn't have been solved if it weren't for you." "But I was sleeping in the bathtub at the most critical time!" "Not only that... they all saw me naked!" "I may have a keen eye for bruises - but I don't have a keen eye for men!" "Can you please leave soon?" "I need to prepare for the experiment..." "I'm so ashamed, I can't walk outside!" "Please don't make it a habit of coming here - to complain after solving cases..." "I hate myself!"
