Detective Galileo

Tachibana Manabu (played by Masaharu Fukuyama), who is about to become a physics professor at the Imperial University, is a true physics genius with unconventional thinking. One day, female police officer Ueai Kaoru (played by Miki Nakatani) takes on a strange case of spontaneous human combustion. With no leads and eager to solve the case, she seeks out Tachibana Manabu through her colleague Kusanagi Junpei. Initially, Tachibana wishes to avoid trouble, but he eventually gives in to Ueai's persistence and agrees to help her solve the case. After a series of evidence collection, Tachibana uses his profound knowledge of physics to reveal the criminal's methods, helping the police successfully solve the case.One day, Ueai encounters another bizarre murder case. A young boy named Takanori claims that he had an out-of-body experience and saw the suspect's car. If what Takanori says is true, the suspect could be cleared of suspicion. However, how can the police consider an out-of-body experience as evidence? Could Takanori be lying? Ueai naturally turns to her 'guiding light' - Tachibana Manabu. After conducting on-site evidence gathering, Tachibana proves that Takanori indeed saw the suspect's car, thereby exonerating the suspect while also debunking the so-called 'out-of-body experience,' ultimately revealing the truth.Difficult and dangerous cases continue to arise, and Tachibana finds himself entangled in these bizarre mysteries, repeatedly demonstrating the power of intellect.
