I wonder what Conan-kun's doing right now.
The professor said he suddenly had to go to Hokkaido.
He's probably stuffing himself full of tasty foods, like eel.
Yeah, right. He's not you.
So...
Tada!
Farmer's Market
We should go to this event without him.
The Beika City Farmer's Market?
Beika Central Park
Beika City Farmer's Market
Fruits and vegetables from around the country!!
Come to Beika Central Park next weekend! Eat at the food court and enjoy the fun sounds of the MPD band!
It's an event where farmers bring their produce to sell.
Full line-up of food trucks at the food court! Grade schoolers and younger eat free
Listen to a speech from MPD Section 1 Inspector Megure Juzo and a performance by the MPD Band! ~Building a safe and secure city~
Lots of food trucks are coming, too.
And kids in grade school or younger eat free.
I see. So that's what you're after.
There's a police event, too.
See? He's wearing his uniform, but this is Inspector Megure, right?
You're right.
Forget that. Let's hurry.
I'm hungry.
What?
What do you mean it won't arrive in time?
Didn't you say you ordered it?
H-Hey, keep your voice down.
The shipping company made a mistake.
Yamawaki Yuji (33)
What can we do?
We'll have to give up on today.
Kanno Kaori (29)
We can't! What do you think we've been preparing for?
If the stuff won't arrive today, we can just go buy it.
Y-Yeah, but...
No.
There's still time. It could still work out.
Kadokura Nobuo (32)
You're right. Let's have an explosive time, just like we planned.
What?
Did you hear that?
Yeah.
She said something about having an explosive time.
Speaking of explosions...
A bomb!
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
I thought I heard someone.
Must've been my imagination.
It sounds like they're planning to set off a bomb at this event.
But it's just a farmer's market.
What are they going to explode?
Inspector Megure?!
In my eyes are maximum creation!
My detective skills are tomorrow's reaction!
The Detective Boys are minus Conan!
How will they handle the bombing case?
Always determining the one truth
with the body of a child and the mind of an adult,
his name is Detective Conan!
Intrigue at the Food Court
"Intrigue at the Food Court!"
We overheard something terrible.
What should we do?
You're asking me? What can we do?
Well, shouldn't we tell the police?
But will they believe us?
It'll probably end with them shooing us away like they always do.
If only Conan-kun were here.
Nicely done, Ayumi-chan.
What?
You realized something important.
If you want the police to believe you, you need to calmly come up with a plan.
That's it!
Let's calmly come up with a plan so the police will believe us.
What? That's easier said than done.
I hate to admit it, but I wish Conan-kun were here.
Come on.
Aren't you the Detective Boys?
What's the most important part of a police investigation?
Um... Is it evidence?
So you do know the answer.
If you want the police to act, you need evidence first.
That's it!
We need evidence that they're planning to set off a bomb.
Then the police will believe us.
See you guys in an hour.
Got it.
Make sure there aren't any leaks.
We know.
Hey, they're leaving.
What should we do?
We should split up and follow them.
What? But I'm hungry.
Excuse me, Genta-san.
If you catch the bad guys, you might be rewarded with lots of tasty food.
What?
And the other two are counting on you.
Oh, right. Yeah, you're right.
Okay, let's split up and follow them.
Didn't I just say that?
Yeah.
Sato-san, security is in place.
We just finished combing the area for suspicious persons, too.
The background checks on the food truck owners and vendors came back clean?
Yes.
We've asked them to present
the identification papers they prepared beforehand when they enter the park.
Okay. Inspector Megure's speech is in about two hours.
Let's patrol the area again.
What? Uh, r-roger...
Huh? What?
Takagi-kun, what are you doing? Let's go.
Oh, sorry!
This guy...
Darn bad guys.
How far is he going?
Uh, oh.
Genta-san.
Try to calm down.
Okay.
And you should stay a little farther back.
I-I know that.
Genta-san, Genta-san.
You can't just look at his face.
Memorize his clothes and possessions and use them to spot him.
All right.
Vegetable Oil
What's he buying all that stuff for?
They're all highly flammable objects.
What? Then are they actually...
Singaporean Restaurant
What's wrong, Ayumi-chan?
Th-There's a strange sound coming from inside.
It's okay. I'm here for you.
Okay.
Watch your step. Walk slowly and carefully.
Okay.
Who are you?
Hello?
Why are you making that face, Mitsuhiko?
There's something strange about his actions,
but I don't know what it is.
Good grief. I thought you were smarter than this.
Don't I always tell you how important it is to observe?
Think back on the things you saw.
You're right. He was sitting in the non-smoking section.
But after taking a seat once, he switched to a different table closer to the front.
Why did he do that?
I know!
The back of the restaurant is near the smoking section.
The smell of cigarettes bothered him.
So he hates cigarettes.
So why did he stop at a cigarette shop?
He bought something.
Something's definitely fishy.
Yes.
Hey, kid.
You got some business with me?
I see. So you overheard us.
Explain yourselves.
What's so funny?
Oh, sorry. An explosive time, huh?
I see. That certainly sounds like we're setting up a bomb.
What? You're not?
Hey, what's going on?
Who's the kid?
Mitsuhiko!
Be careful!
He was buying oil and gas at the hardware store!
They must be planning to build a bomb with it!
No way.
Listen, this is a misunderstanding.
This is our food truck.
We're trying to sell our chicken rice here today.
Chicken rice?
It's a famous Singaporean dish.
We work at a nearby restaurant called Marina.
We decided to participate in this event to show off our best dish.
If we do well today, the restaurant will get lots of customers starting tomorrow.
The explosive time you heard us talking about was in reference to explosive sales.
Chicken rice, huh? That sounds good.
Then what did you get at the cigarette shop?
These. I had a printer friend make them for me.
Since I ordered them late, they weren't finished until today.
I was supposed to pick them up at a café, but he was too busy to come,
so he called to say he left them with that shop he regularly visits.
Ayumi-chan!
Ayumi!
It seems like we were confused.
They're not bad people.
Where'd you find this girl?
I ran into her when I returned to the restaurant to pick up the prepped chicken.
Since I had the apron and knife we use to butcher chicken,
I scared her.
They were just trying to cook.
Chicken rice, huh?
Are you going to back down now, detective?
Of course not!
Then hold out a little longer.
Hold out?
But why do you need so much oil and gas?
There was a mistake, and our stuff didn't arrive.
We did the basic prep work at the restaurant,
but we heat up the soup and make the sauce inside the food truck.
We received our eating and cooking utensils, but we don't have any oil or gas.
We considered giving up,
but we managed to get everything in time by going out and buying it.
Although the unnecessary expense will probably put us in the red.
Don't worry. If we spread the name Marina here, starting tomorrow...
...our sales could explode!
This might have been a misunderstanding on our part.
After all, they say there's no such thing as an evil cook.
Yeah, you're right.
Sounds like it was a misunderstanding.
Yes.
Well, don't worry about it.
Detectives are bound to make mistakes.
Ayumi-chan, are you sure you want to give up?
Isn't there one last thing you need to confirm?
Let us eat your chicken rice.
What?
If you really work in a restaurant, you should be able to make some chicken rice.
Good grief.
We don't have a choice.
We're not open yet, but...
We'll make an exception for you.
All right!
Three chicken rices ready.
Got it.
Thanks for waiting.
Use as much sauce as you'd like.
We didn't make it too spicy.
What? This is chicken rice?
It's nothing like what I imagined.
It's not red.
What you normally eat is fried rice flavored with ketchup, right?
Singaporean chicken rice is rice cooked in chicken broth
and topped with steamed chicken.
Then you cover it with whatever sauces you want and eat it.
It's the national dish of Singapore.
Thanks for the food!
It's delicious!
It's good!
This sauce goes perfectly with chicken!
Has this resolved our misunderstanding?
Yeah.
More!
We're really sorry. We were just confused.
It's fine. Don't worry about it.
Thanks for the food.
It was great.
Can I ask you something?
What is it?
Why do you have a giant star on your food truck?
What? Oh, this?
We like stargazing.
On our days off, we always go stargazing.
We just went last week.
Really?
Be careful on your way home.
And come to our restaurant.
Okay.
Huh? You kids.
Detectives Sato and Takagi.
What are you doing? The event hasn't opened yet.
Oh, this and that.
Those guys made us chicken rice.
Chicken rice? You mean rice flavored with ketchup?
No! Singaporean chicken rice is totally different!
You serve steamed chicken over rice and eat it with all kinds of sauces.
It's the national dish of Singapore.
Did they teach you that?
Yes!
They certainly must work at a Singaporean restaurant.
That's quite the flashy food truck, though.
There's a giant star on it.
Oh, that's—
They said it's because they like stargazing.
They go stargazing on their days off.
Really? Is that so?
Well, we've got work to do.
Bye!
Jeez. Those kids were odd.
I wasn't sure what to do when she followed me to the restaurant.
They were strangely intelligent,
but kids are kids.
The deal is done.
If that old woman learned a bomb was exchanged at her shop,
she'd be paralyzed with fear.
Will it work? It doesn't seem very powerful.
We're inside a car.
If we set it up near the gas tank, the truck itself will be a bomb.
And we've got oil, gas tanks, and fuel accelerants.
I was worried when I heard the bomb wouldn't arrive
because of the shipping company's mistake.
But if all this stuff explodes at once, he won't stand a chance.
Not Megure.
What about me?
Don't move!
I remember you.
We arrested you when you tried to rob a bank seven years ago.
I heard you'd gotten out, but to think you'd do this for revenge.
All of Marina's employees are under our protection.
After entering the restaurant before opening and stealing the ID's of the employees,
they had them prep the chicken rice before tying them up and trapping them in storage.
And plotted to blow us up in the park.
They bought the bomb on an illegal website.
The cigarette shop was just used as a drop-off location.
The cyber crimes unit identified the bomb maker and arrested him.
I thought our plan was perfect.
How did you figure it out?
Thanks to some detectives.
You didn't know what the star on this food truck meant.
What?
America is sometimes called "rice country," and Russia is sometimes called "dew country."
What about Singapore?
I-Is it...
That's right. It's "star country."
I thought it was strange that someone working at a Singaporean restaurant wouldn't know that.
Damn it!
The Detective Boys actually did a good job this time.
Aw, shucks. I hope Conan-kun comes home soon.
I was so sure it was a case.
Who cares? The chicken rice was good.
Hey, why don't we stop by Professor Agasa's place?
Good idea.
He might have some tasty food.
You're still hungry?
For dessert.
Professor Agasa!
While the kids were visiting the professor,
we were caught up in a terrible plot because of him.
