Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Wada's target was Misao Hamanaka all along, and the bomb was in fact placed in his office, where Sato, Takagi, Kogoro and Conan were. His motive was that Hamanaka sold him a bad plan years ago, making him end in jail. Conan successfully disarms the bomb and meets Wada on the rooftop of the building across Hamanaka's, because it was the place he would most likely be, to witness his crime get fulfilled. Wada willingly surrenders himself.
