Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Detective Conan Episode 884 "The Pop-up Book Bomber (Part Two)"

Mori Detective Agency

The unfinished pop-up book Kogoro-no-occhan

received in the mail contained a series of bomb threats.

It was thought to be the work of the dead author's half-brother

with a previous conviction of manufacturing explosives, Hirukawa Takuji.

Hirukawa Takuji (38) Bomber

Through the old man's efforts,

the second explosion was successfully avoided.

All right.

We did it!

Private Caller

Tick tock, tick tock.

Boom!

Well done, Detective Mori Kogoro.

But the game isn't over yet.

Wh-What?!

Grandpa Tick Tock and the Three Clocks

"Grandpa Tick Tock is a clock maker."

By Imai Kenichi

"Tick tock, tick tock."

"Deliver the final clock to the middle of the 7."

Curtains rise as the headliner appears!

He beautifully dances his mystery-solving steps!

The pop-up book and the final bomb.

The mystery of seven takes us in an unexpected direction.

Always determining the one truth

with the body of a child and the mind of an adult,

his name is Detective Conan!

The Pop-up Book Bomber

"The Pop-up Book Bomber, Part Two!"

Deliver the final clock to the middle of the 7.

Damn it!

What does the middle of seven mean?

Divide seven by two is 3.5.

"Nana"...

nana

Between "na" and "na?"

na

na

Seven!

"V?"

V

None of them seem right.

I have no idea!

Hey, you!

You really don't remember the answer to the riddle?!

I'm sorry.

Tomonaga Hiroyuki (45) Editor In Chief

Like I mentioned before, publication was delayed.

I was too busy handling the incident to read it.

But I do remember the end.

The end?

It's not a 100% happy ending.

Our company wasn't sure it was appropriate for a children's book.

I thought the same thing after reading it.

The drawings and pop-ups are really cute, but...

What do you mean?

Grandpa Tick Tock dies.

You learn at the end that he's actually really sick.

But in the epilogue,

his grandson takes over his business ten years later,

so that's kind of a relief.

That's right.

Seriously? It's not a clue to the bomb's location.

Anyway, what's the answer to the riddle?

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

What does the number seven remind you of?

Huh?

What's expressed in sevens?

Expressed in sevens?

Oh, right. Like the seven days of the week?

Yeah.

Or the seven colors of the rainbow?

There are seven notes in a musical scale, too.

What's the middle of those?

In a week, that would be Thursday.

In a rainbow...

I think it's green.

In a musical scale, it's fa.

But there are too many things it could be.

Yeah, but what if a bomb were to explode at a location related to those?

I-Inspector!

Of course we can't ignore it.

Have the entire department begin searching for the bomb immediately.

Yes, sir!

Inspector, I'd only be getting in the way

if I stayed any longer.

You're right.

Now that the investigation has established a direction, you're free to go.

Thank you.

Oh, thank you. Excuse me.

Oh, the picture book.

Let me see that, Conan-kun.

Excuse me.

Don't you need this?

Well, that's odd.

Until now,

the riddles were limited to a single answer,

Words beginning with "green"

but this time the riddle itself is rather broad.

5 letter words including "tree"

Words beginning with "fa"

Kinomiri Park

Midori Law Office

Midori Elementary School

Green Green Restaurant

Jupiter Research Center and Observatory

Why?

And I'm still curious about the bomb

the old man threw into the manhole.

And finding the unexploded bomb has been put on hold

There's no time to spare!

Search everywhere it could be!

since the entire department has been mobilized.

Huh? Could it be?

Okay, good.

Keep searching.

Hey, Inspector!

What is it, Conan-kun?

What exactly did the bomber Hirukawa do?

What did he do?

Caused explosions, of course.

He manufactured explosives, blew up the safes

and cash transport vehicles, and stole a lot of money.

What about it?

Nothing.

That's nothing like this crime which seems

to be motivated by resentment.

Megrez Security

Did something happen?

I'm not sure.

What? You found the bomb?

The garbage collection point at the #3 Thursday Building in Toriya City?

We found one, too.

Green Garden

It's at the orchard in Kenbashi City.

It was inside the management office's trash can.

Alloy

We found one at "F.A. Alloy" in Daitoma City.

It's a gilding factory known locally as "Fa Alloy."

It was found inside a garbage can.

Three bombs at once?

Is something wrong?

I'm sorry, but a bomb was discovered up ahead.

What? A b-bomb?

We found all three of the bombs!

Tell us how to disarm them!

Hey, answer me!

Answer me!

Wow! Were you surprised?

Wh-What? They're all fake?

Wh-What does this mean?

Damn it.

What is Hirukawa trying to do?

It's a trap.

Huh?

Like the previous riddles, the three fake bombs are trick answers.

The real one is somewhere else.

What?

Okay, okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Okay, okay.

Is something wrong?

Hello, officer?

Is something wrong?

Megrez Security

Megrez Security...

Is something wrong, Conan-kun?

The Megrez in Megrez Security refers to this star.

That's...

A picture of Ursa Major.

The Big Dipper?

That's right.

The seven stars forming the tail of Ursa Major

are known as the Big Dipper.

And the center star is Megrez.

So it's the middle of seven.

Yeah.

Damn it. The culprit included the answer

because he knew we wouldn't get there in time.

Inspector Megure!

Take a look at this.

Bomb Site

Kanematsu Park

Wh-What is this?

A map of the sewer?

That's right.

Going from the manhole at Kanematsu Park

where Mori-san threw the bomb to here.

Did that bomb flow all the way here?

Almost certainly.

Carried along by the increased water level from yesterday's rain,

the bomb most likely stopped at the grate under here.
