- May 20, 2003
The Tantei Gakuen Q season 1 episode 6, titled "The Perfect 1000-Witness Alibi," follows the cases of the famous detective academy group, Q Class, as they try to solve a murder mystery. The episode opens with the Q class and Mitarai, the academy's analyst, discussing their new case, which involves a murder that occurs during a crowded street festival.
The victim is Shibata, a wealthy scientist who has recently invented a new kind of fuel cell. However, the murder weapon, a knife, has no fingerprints on it, and the street festival was crowded with thousands of potential witnesses, making it almost impossible for the detectives to identify the culprit.
During their investigation, the Q class discovers that Shibata had recently fired a colleague, Dr. Yanagisawa, who was also working on a fuel cell project. They believe that Dr. Yanagisawa might have been the motive for the murder and begin to investigate him.
Their investigation leads to a dead-end when they discover that Dr. Yanagisawa has a perfect alibi, as he was giving a lecture at the time the murder occurred. However, the Q class discovers that the alibi is too perfect, as there were over 1000 witnesses that could confirm his whereabouts, which seems highly unlikely.
The detectives continue their investigation and discover that Dr. Yanagisawa had hired several actors to pose as witnesses during the lecture, and the real lecturer has gone missing. The Q class soon discovers that Dr. Yanagisawa had a motive for murder, as he hoped to stop Shibata from completing his fuel cell project, which would have made Dr. Yanagisawa's project obsolete.
The episode reaches its climax when the Q class confronts Dr. Yanagisawa and reveals their evidence. Dr. Yanagisawa attempts to escape but is soon caught by the academy's security. The detectives ultimately succeed in solving the case, and justice is served.
Overall, Tantei Gakuen Q season 1 episode 6 is a thrilling and exciting episode that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. The complex and convoluted plot keeps the detectives and the audience guessing until the very end. The show's use of science and technology to solve the mystery adds an exciting twist to the typical murder investigation show.
