Episode 4
Good morning!
I've been accepted!
C-Congratulations.
Alright! I'm the first to arrive at DDS!
H-Hey! Excuse me!
Hey, wait! You'll need this! Hey!
Wow! They have some huge trees here.
Awesome!
Yahoo! I'm so excited!
Hey! Kyuu!
Good morning!
You're early. The matriculation ceremony doesn't start for a while.
Heh, you may say that, but didn't you come in early to explore the campus as well?
Well, yeah…
I guess we were all thinking the same thing.
Well, let's get to it!
S i m u l a t i o n C l a s s r o o m
Huh?
S i m u l a t i o n C l a s s r o o m
What's a simulation classroom?
Let's take a look inside.
This is like the set of a monster movie.
Wow!
These miniatures are probably used to reproduce crime scenes.
What does this switch do?
Looks like you can control the weather in this room.
Kyuu!
How dare you!
S-Sorry...
Looks like this is a martial arts practice hall.
When it comes to the crunch, detectives have to use their fists.
What about this room?
This is probably a forensics lab.
A-
A corpse!
It's just a doll.
This simulation is for us to practice determining the presumed time of death.
And this is?
The sign said "Special Disguise Room".
What's this for then?
This is awesome!
There are lots of different classrooms!
Hey, it's almost time for them to announce the class divisions.
Class divisions?
Didn't you know?
At DDS, incoming students are divided into classes A to D according to their entrance exam scores.
Really? Is that right?
Every year the class divisions are posted on this billboard.
Good morning!
So you guys really came.
Oh! Katagiri-san, I mean, Sensei.
Good morning!
Mister... That was you back then.
The mountain climber!
We meet again.
This is Dan Morihiko-sensei, the founder and current headmaster of this school.
You're that… legendary detective…
Dan Morihiko…
So this is Dan-sensei, the eminent detective who made it possible…
...for this to be the only school in Japan where you're allowed to bear arms.
P-Please give me your autograph!
What the heck is Kinta thinking?
I have great expectations for you guys.
Good luck.
Yes!
Ah, they're posting the announcements!
Announcements?
These are the new Class A students.
Huh? Our names aren't there.
Ah, I guess we didn't qualify for Class A.
It's Class B!
Not even on the Class B list.
We're not in Class C either, so…
Let's have fun in Class D, guys.
You guys I can understand, but I can't believe my name wasn't…
You're kidding me.
Our names aren't there either.
That's impossible!
Are these the right lists?
Oh my! Can't find your names?
Perhaps it was just in your dreams that you guys got accepted.
Saburoumaru-san!
Hey now! Starting today, call me Saburoumaru of Class A.
Here they are!
But…
What's wrong?
What's Class Q?
It's quite a long way from ABCD to Q.
Just a class of substitutes, isn't it?
What's wrong with that? We still got accepted!
But, it's still Class Q. Bye now.
Huh? What's this sheet of paper?
D-Dan-sensei!
Look at this!
To headmaster Dan Morihiko…
I've planted bombs on your campus.
This is a challenge to you.
I will provide you with some hints.
There are three bombs in total.
The first one will…
…explode at 8:00 am.
This is...
...a bomb threat?
Planted somewhere on the campus?
Maybe it's some kind of prank.
Could this also be part of the entrance exam?
It's already 8:00!
They've come.
Dan-sensei…
Unfortunately, this is not part of the exam.
Evacuate the students immediately!
Yes, sir!
Now, you guys, hurry and get out of here as well.
Y-You're right. This doesn't seem like a joke.
He's right. Bombs being planted at DDS is no joke!
Dan-sensei. Please let me help too!
Kyuu-kun, I appreciate your concern, but…
…you should evacuate for the time being.
But...
Dan-sensei!
We've caught a suspect!
Just as expected of DDS.
They've caught the culprit this quickly?
But, there are still two bombs left.
Oh yeah, that's right.
Where are the remaining bombs?
Find them yourself.
Aren't you supposed to be the best detective in Japan?
I challenge you to find the other bombs that I planted.
My talents are superior to the rest! This is your punishment for rejecting my superiority!
Take him away.
Sensei!
At this rate, there won't be anybody left who can find my bomb!
I'm more talented than anybody else!
In spite of that, you rejected me. Why?
The answer to your question will be revealed when the third bomb fails to explode.
We'll see! The third bomb will explode 10 minutes from now!
10 minutes!
The third one is another time bomb?
Take him away.
Yes, sir.
Evacuate the students at once!
That's an order, Katagiri-kun.
Yes.
It's just so wrong.
The classrooms we explored this morning might be destroyed.
We all worked so hard to get here.
And now that we're here...
...we can't do anything to help.
Don't give up, Megu.
That's right! There's still time!
Let's find that bomb!
Kyuu…
Um… Me too?
O-Of course I'll help!
This is the DDS I worked so hard to get into after all!
There has to be some hint that will help us find the bomb.
Why did the culprit stick around after planting the bombs?
Staying here would make his chances of getting caught much higher.
Even though he said he was so superior, he's pretty stupid.
Perhaps the culprit allowed himself to be caught intentionally.
But why?
For example, maybe he did that to target Dan-sensei.
Dan-sensei?
Come to think of it, that warning letter was addressed to Dan-sensei.
The culprit probably intended to lure Dan-sensei out.
But what if Dan-sensei didn't come?
That's why he detonated the first bomb!
Surely, with all the commotion and the way that the threat was addressed…
…it was very likely that Dan-sensei would come.
And then, the second bomb exploded.
Why did the culprit let the bomb explode right next to himself?
That's right.
He could have been hurt as well.
It was quite a powerful bomb too.
My hat got blown off somewhere thanks to that blast!
No, no. Look on your back.
Eh?
See? Your hat.
It got hooked on your backpack.
What the, it was here the whole time!
That's right.
I've got it!
What? You've got it?
In any case, Dan-sensei is in trouble!
H-Hey!
Wait up!
What do you mean, Kyuu?
There are two hints!
The first one is the fact that the culprit detonated the bomb right next to himself.
And the other hint is.…
...Kazuma-kun, your hat!
Huh? My hat?
Right!
I still don't get it!
Oh no! We only have 5 minutes!
Dan-sensei!
You guys haven't evacuated yet?
Excuse me for a second, Dan-sensei!
Kyuu-kun!
Sensei, are you carrying something different than usual?
Hey, hold on! What do you mean?
There's only one answer!
The bomb was planted on Dan-sensei!
Eh? On Dan-sensei?
It was planted there?
Kyuu-kun!
We assumed that the three bombs were planted in advance by the culprit.
But actually, the third bomb was planted on Dan-sensei...
...right when the second bomb exploded.
I see. The culprit planted the bomb during the confusion.
We have less than 3 minutes!
Hey, hurry up!
Sensei, sorry about this…
Sensei…
You're just as I expected, Kyuu-kun.
I agree with your reasoning.
Right after the second explosion, I searched around myself.
I did that because I knew I was the culprit's target.
However, the bomb was nowhere to be seen.
Then, where could the bomb be?
Kyuu!
We have less than a minute before the explosion!
Time's running out!
This isn't good, Kyuu!
I won't give up!
If a detective gives up, the case may never be solved!
You idiot! Don't just say stuff like that.
If it wasn't planted on Dan-sensei…
What are you doing!?
Katagiri-sensei!
Is there something unusual around you, Katagiri-sensei?
What? Something unusual?
I've got it!
Eh?
Her schedule book pen!
In the morning there was one...
...but there are two now!
Oh, no! There's no time left!
Up you go!
W-Why!?
Why did you throw it straight up?
O-Oh, no!
W-Why?
It didn't explode.
That pen wasn't the bomb?
So that means…
…we were wrong?
Hand me that schedule book, Katagiri-kun.
Okay.
The pen that you guys were talking about is this one, right?
Th-That's it.
Don't worry.
The time bomb has already been removed.
When I discovered that the bomb wasn't planted on me…
…I thought he might have targeted Katagiri-kun, who is always by my side.
Sensei…
Thank goodness!
So it won't explode.
Awesome! He had already solved the trick!
There's no mistaking the legendary detective!
So this is an example of Dan-sensei's reasoning skills.
No. Your reasoning was something else, too.
Students of Class Q.
I was the one who removed the bomb.
Follow me. I'll show you guys to Class Q.
This is a bit different from the main campus, isn't it?
Different in that it's more run down perhaps.
Look over there. That's the building for your Class Q.
Th-That is?
It looks like a haunted house.
Awesome! The school building looks like a mystery in itself!
Let's hurry inside!
Is it just that Kyuu's a real optimist?
Or is it that he's got a few screws loose?
That's the mystery, isn't it?
It's already been 40 years since then.
When I was a police detective…
…I had my doubts about the rapidly changing institutionalized investigatory practices.
That doubt compelled me to retire from the police department.
As a result, I made my first step towards becoming a private investigator.
This was the place where I made that first step.
Eh?
So this is where the legendary detective Dan Morihiko started out?
It hasn't changed a bit.
No matter how much times change…
…the scenic view from here hasn't changed from the way it was in the past.
I would like to perform my last job as a detective by going back to that starting point of 40 years ago.
With the passion I had when facing crimes on my own back then…
…I intend to give everything I've learned as a detective to you new students.
In conclusion, the DDS notebook that was handed out today...
...is the proof that you are students of DDS.
Once again, to all of you newly-enrolled students, congratulations on your acceptance!
