Case notes

Today's Puzzle:

Another excellent puzzle with a bigger mystery on what the title means. My guess is this is about finding which number does not belong on the region sum lines. What's your guess?

Rules:

Normal sudoku rules apply.

Digits along thermometers strictly increase from the bulb end.

Adjacent digits along thin green lines must have a difference of at least five.

Thick box borders divide thick blue lines into segments with equal sums.

The digits separated by the black dot are in a 1:2 ratio, i.e. one is double the other.
