"The body of a young male was found in the laundry room of the Empire Theatre."

"What?!"

Listening to the words of the theater staff, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko covered their mouths and exclaimed.

Conan and Sera Masumi on the side narrowed their eyes at the same time.

Under the leadership of the staff, Mouri Kogoro came to the backstage of the stage, which was already in chaos.

"What happened? I heard someone died?"

"Really or not?! Where is it? Has the murderer been found?"

"How could such a thing happen? By the way, who died?"

Many artists and staff gathered here to discuss what happened this time.

Among the group of artists, Mouri Kogoro immediately spotted Okino Yoko, who was still dressed like Detective Quinn.

He noticed that at this moment, Okino Yoko was raising her neck and looking around in panic.

"Miss Yoko!"

Mouri Kogoro spoke,

And Okino Yoko, who noticed Mouri Kogoro, also walked over quickly.

"Mr. Mori, did you hear what happened? Do you know who was killed?"

There was an obvious look of panic on Okino Yoko's delicate cheeks. She looked at Mouri Kogoro with her blue eyes and asked.

Kogoro Mouri has "solved" many Okino Yoko cases.

Naturally, it is also clear that Okino Yoko is extremely afraid of dead people and murders.

Whenever she encounters a case, this talented entertainer who can always hide her emotions well in front of outsiders,

Always scared to death.

"Sorry, I only heard that he was a young man, and I don't know the rest."

Seeing Okino Yoko's expression shaken by his words, Mouri Kogoro also had a strong desire to express himself.

"Don't worry, Miss Yoko, I will definitely find out the truth of the case!"

He patted his chest hard and assured Yoko Okino.

Then he followed the staff and walked towards the laundry room behind the stage.

Arriving at the laundry room deep in the corridor.

Mouri Kogoro saw the body of a male lying on the ground through the open door.

It was only after he entered the room that he noticed.

At the very back of the laundry room, there was another man covered in blood.

"Huh? Didn't you say that only one young male body was found? Aren't these two?"

Mouri Kogoro looked at the staff member who had just conveyed the message to him.

The man looked at another pale-faced woman wearing cleaning clothes who came from behind.

"I noticed the body at the door and didn't dare to go in."

The cleaning lady replied shakily.

"Did you notice it at the door? In other words, the door here was not closed, right?"

Suddenly a clear neutral voice sounded.

The cleaning lady turned around and looked at the "handsome guy" with short black wavy hair next to her in surprise, and nodded lightly:

"Yes."

Mouri Kogoro turned his head when he heard the voice.

After seeing Sera Masumi and Conan, a very impatient look appeared on his face.

"Didn't I tell you to stay in the theater? What are you doing here?"

"Oh, don't worry, Mr. Kogoro. We can be regarded as a detective for now, so I can definitely help you."

Sera Masumi said as she walked into the laundry room.

But after she walked into the laundry room and saw the figure lying in the back, her next words were stuck in her throat.

She knows this person!

"Huh? What can I do if I ask you to help me? Do I, a great detective, need help from a brat like you?"

Mouri Kogoro said with a look of disgust.

Then he saw Sera Masumi ignoring him and walking straight towards the male "corpse" in the room.

Just when Mouri Kogoro was dissatisfied because Sera Masumi ignored him.

Suddenly, when he saw Sera Masumi, he turned his head suddenly and shouted in his direction:

"He still has a pulse, he's alive!!"

"Ah, oh."

Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a full five seconds before he understood Sera Masumi's meaning.

He hurriedly came to the young male corpse in the center of the room and checked the other person's pulse and breathing.

"He's dead."

Mouri Kogoro shook his head and said regretfully.

The glimmer of hope that finally rose was dashed in the end.

It seems that the person at the end of the room is really lucky at this time.

Conan came to Sera Masumi's side and lowered his voice:

"Ms. Sera, this is"

"That's right, it's that Akikawa."

Sera Masumi turned around and cast a very serious look at Conan.

This case is so similar to the matricide case half a year ago!

There are two victims.

And in both cases, Akikawa Kongsuke miraculously survived.

Even Conan, who has always denied Sera Masumi's speculation about Akikawa Kyusuke,

After facing this too coincidental thing at this moment,

I also noticed something was wrong.

Sera Masumi raised Akikawa Kyusuke's drooped head.

Only then did the two of them discover that the left half of Akikawa Kyousuke's cheek was covered in very obvious blood stains.

Look along where the blood appears.

Sera Masumi and Conan also noticed the swollen and long crack on Akikawa Kousuke's forehead.

"Hey, did you two find anything?"

Mouri Kogoro's voice rang out.

"Akikawa's forehead wound had swelling and a long crack."

"At the same time, there are contusions that only occur when hit by a hard object."

"So he must have been hit on the head by something, causing him to become comatose."

As Sera Masumi said, she also looked around, but did not find any murder weapon that met the requirements in the laundry room.

"The same goes for this one here. He must have been hit hard on the head and killed."

After hearing Sera Masumi's words, Mouri Kogoro also checked the wounds of the deceased on his side and made a judgment.

"Huh~~? Was this big brother beaten to death?"

Conan's artificial and innocent voice sounded.

Before Mouri Kogoro could get angry again, Conan quickly pointed at the deceased's neck and said:

"Uncle, look at the marks on his neck!"

Mouri Kogoro looked in the direction of Conan's finger. As Conan said, there were obvious strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased.

"That means he was strangled and knocked unconscious first, and then he was crushed to death?"

"No! He was beaten first and then strangled to death by the murderer."

Sera Mazen said to Mouri Kogoro firmly.

"At the same time, I also discovered that the real murderer was not here, but escaped in a hurry."
