They tell the kids there wasn't any bomb and that they were just trying to find the necessary material for the dish they'll prepare for the Market: Singapore's national dish, Chicken Rice.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

They were in fact really planning to explode the site. Just after leaving the Detective Boys, Sato and Takagi, the three suspects enter their truck and take out a few bombs and fuel to explode the site. They planned to take revenge on Juzo Megure after Nobuo Kadokura was arrested after a failed robbery seven years ago. They planned to set the bombs next to the truck's fuel tanks to maximize the damages but as they said Megure's name, the inspector bursted in the truck with the police and arrested Kaori Kanno, Yuji Yamawaki and Nobuo Kadokura. Their plan was to first get into the restaurant, steal the employees' ID and make them prepare the chicken in advance before keeping them hostage in the restaurant's back room then get the bomb they found on an illegal website at the cigarette shop which was concealed under a pack flyers. Another man was arrested by the police as the bomb-maker at the cigarette shop under the surprised look of Mrs. Shimomura and the restaurant staff was freed. In fact, their plan didn't work since there was one detail the Detective Boys found and reported to the police: the star on the logo wasn't related to stargazing but to the country the restaurant originates, Singapore who is called Star Country which meant that every worker of the restaurant should know it. The culprits are then sad their plan didn't work just because of it.
