What ensues is a high level battle of wits, as Ishigami tries to protect Yasuko by outmaneuvering and outthinking Yukawa, who faces his most clever and determined opponent yet. After meeting up with him again, Yukawa is convinced that Ishigami had something to do with the murder. Yukawa, known to the police by the nickname Professor Galileo, went to college with Ishigami.

Manabu Yukawa, a physicist and college friend who frequently consults with the police. Kusanagi is unable to find any obvious holes in Yasuko’s manufactured alibi and yet is still sure that there’s something wrong. When the body turns up and is identified, Detective Kusanagi draws the case and Yasuko comes under suspicion. Overhearing the commotion, Yasuko’s next door neighbor, middle-aged high school mathematics teacher Ishigami, offers his help, disposing not only of the body but plotting the cover-up step-by-step. When he shows up one day to extort money from her, threatening both her and her teenaged daughter Misato, the situation quickly escalates into violence and Togashi ends up dead on her apartment floor.
