Suzuki=Bakudan (爆弾)

Excuse me.

Come on, drop the act.

What act?

We'll find out as soon as we look into it.

We won't get mad even if you lie,

and it won't make things worse for you.

Well, it won't make things better either.

Oh, um... N-No... Detective, you've got it wrong. Um...

People doubt me a lot, but my name really is Suzuki.

Certified genuine, Suzuki Tagosaku.

Well, whatever.

So, Suzuki-san, why were you drunk today?

Um, I drank three canned chu-hais at home.

I'm a massive Dragons fan, you see.

It was a crucial game at the Dome.

But they lost big time, 5 to 1.

I mean, even if losing was inevitable,

getting 6 hits and only scoring 1 run—

Suzuki-san.

Oh, sorry... I'm sorry. Sorry, right.

So, because of that, I was so frustrated.

I felt like convenience store chu-hais just weren't going to cut it anymore.

Um... I was so mad, I thought I'd buy some fine liquor.

So, um... I went to the liquor store.

And that's when I realized I didn't have any money on me.

I had no money in my wallet.

Not a single 1,000-yen bill, not even a 100-yen coin.

And then, I just couldn't take it anymore, so I accidentally...

What are you doing?!

What the hell are you doing?!

Oh, Officer.

You accidentally kicked the vending machine,

and punched the owner who came to stop you.

Is that correct?

I do feel bad about it.

But come on, everyone loses it sometimes, don't they?

Maybe so, but most people don't actually go and punch someone.

R-R-R-Right...

I see. You're absolutely right.

The store owner said if you just pay for the repairs

and his medical bills, he won't make a fuss about it.

Um, about how much do you think it would cost?

Who knows.

Well, if you hand over 100,000 yen, it should cover it.

100,000, huh...

100,000 yen is flat-out impossible.

How much can you manage?

Hmm, how much indeed...

Um... Detective, could you lend it to me?

Don't ask so casually. I'm on a measly salary myself.

I haven't had a paycheck in years.

Might as well be dead.

Then, how about this?

I'll be of use to you, Detective.

In exchange, could you somehow, um... persuade the victim for me?

You'll be of use?

What, are you going to direct traffic for me?

Um, since a long time ago...

I've always been a bit confident in my sixth sense.

Your sixth sense?

So, like...

I might be able to predict an incident before it happens,

and then, um, tell you about it.

Do you have a lead on something?

Did you hear about a theft plan somewhere,

or a drug deal?

Oh no, no, no.

I couldn't possibly get mixed up in something that frightening.

But, like... By the way, what time is it now?

It's 9:55.

I see.

Hmm. I feel like, um...

an inspiration is about to hit me.

What could it be?

I sense an incident about to happen.

I wonder where this is...

Maybe somewhere around Akihabara.

I don't think it'll be anything too horrific though...

Hey. What are you talking about?

At exactly 10:00, over in Akihabara.

I'm sure something will happen.

Give me a break. That's not even worth calling a joke.

Scary, scary.

What's your real name?

I've been telling you, it's Tagosaku.

Tagosaku the Completely Useless.

What are you

trying to pull here?

Detective.

I've taken a liking to you.

I don't want to talk to anyone but you.

Hmm. According to my sixth sense,

there will be three more.

The next one will explode in one hour.

Subtitles: HPriest

No fatalities reported so far,

but we're still assessing the damage.

Based on the situation, the possibility of an accident is low.

From the items left behind, we believe it was a time bomb.

Our only lead is the guy who predicted the explosion—

That drunkard named Suzuki?

Todoroki, what about his belongings?

Just an empty wallet.

He doesn't have a cell phone either.

You can't even get his address out of him?

He keeps insisting he "forgot."

Do you think pathetic excuses like that will fly?

Whether they fly or not,

he won't crack, so there's nothing I can do.

Making them crack is a detective's job!

Chief.

The investigators from Manseibashi Station are heading this way.

Not just Mansei, Headquarters too, right?

So, we're absolutely clueless.

Are you telling me to bow my head and say that to the guys from Mansei and HQ?

I'll do my best not to embarrass you, Chief.

Suzuki-san.

It happened. The explosion.

Apparently a girl caught in the blast

is not going to make it.

Oh, that's terrible for her.

I definitely can't lend you 100,000 yen.

Huh? Why not?

Because monsters don't pay back their debts.

Monsters?

Sure, I'm a bit of a tub, but I'm still a human being.

I don't call someone a human being if they can hurt others and act like nothing happened.

Me?

Come on, stop that.

I'm not the one who caused the explosion.

My sixth sense just went beep-beep-beep and picked it up.

For now...

just tell me where the next explosion will be.

Hmm. But who cares if it explodes?

What did you say?

Someone will die, and someone will be sad about it, sure.

But it's not like that person is going to lend me 100,000 yen.

And if I died, they wouldn't be sad either.

Actually I lied.

About the girl dying, I mean.

All the victims only sustained minor injuries.

Oh, is that so?

You're not a murderer yet.

There's still time to stop this.

You don't know the next location?

Well, it is a sixth sense, after all.

Um, but, maybe, um...

If I got various kinds of stimuli,

inspiration might strike me again.

Like watching TV.

Where's your own smartphone?

It seems I lost it somewhere.

Because I was drunk.

Is the TV a no-go?

Pro baseball news. That's my only joy in life.

No.

Hmm. I really think having some stimulation would be better, though.

It's past 11:00.

Looks like your prediction was off.

Todoroki-san!

This is Rescue 06. Confirming two injured.

See, I told you.

Three, two...

I'm here in front of the MPD.

Regarding the explosions

that occurred in succession at two locations in Tokyo,

Akihabara and near Tokyo Dome City,

the police have established a task force inside the—

The victims are a married couple who were jogging.

The wife took the brunt of the blast and is unconscious in critical condition.

Any progress on Akihabara?

Also, what about Suzuki's route leading up to the liquor store?

You're awfully eager.

Now that there's a serious injury, you're fired up?

Wagatsuma.

Yes?

Where's the written report?

Hello, sir.

Hello, sir.

Are you Chief Tsuruku?

I'm Kiyomiya, First Investigation Division, Violent Crimes Unit.

I'm Ruike.

How is the suspect's interrogation going?

He's handling it.

Are you Todoroki-kun?

Yes.

I'll ask you straight: Is Suzuki guilty?

It's impossible for him to be unrelated to the bombs.

Based on what?

Both times, right before the explosion occurred,

he hinted at the location.

The first time, he clearly said "Akihabara,"

and for Tokyo Dome City,

he brought up baseball right beforehand.

Is he acting alone?

Probably.

I just can't picture him consulting with someone else

to formulate a plan.

His motive?

Thanks for your hard work.
