Case

Situation

A robbery of the temple and Takenaka's concussive injury is reported when the earthquake struck Tokyo. Can Takagi deduce how one man wanted to perform two crimes in one night?

Attempted robbery

Location: Teitan Shrine

Victim: Head priest

Age: unknown

Time: 2:15 AM

Culprit: Rokusuke Urasawa

Although Urasawa tried to rob the shrine, the earthquake made the bells fall on him as he was searching the offering box. He was then knocked out, and, the next morning, the head priest found him unconscious and alerted the police.

Robbery - Assault

Location: Takenaka household

Victim: Takeo Takenaka

Age: 33 years old

Time: 2:30 AM

Injury: Blunt trauma to the back of the head

Suspects: Rokusuke Urasawa

Takenaka accidently interrupted a robbery when he returned home late after a meeting. He tried to stop the robber from fleeing, but was knocked over and struck his head on the table, getting knocked unconscious.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Rokusuke Urasawa. He mistakenly thought that he had murdered Takenaka during the robbery and was afraid of serving a decades long prison term for murder. He decided to rob the faraway Teitan temple in order to give himself an alibi. He intentionally knocked himself unconscious with the bells to make it look like he committed the robbery during the earthquake, and therefore was unconscious when the robbery at Takenaka's house took place. Before doing that, he was so desperate that he prayed and offered 200k yen--which he stole from Takenaka--in hopes of forgiveness. He believed that being charged with a robbery would be a minor offense and shorten his release, but nonetheless he confesses with Takagi's disapproval.
