In Conan, people have a brain option system

In the auditorium of the Empire Theatre.

Many spectators at the scene were confused because of the sudden suspension of the performance.

Since there is no way to continue watching the stage play, many people want to leave directly.

However, when the audience who wanted to leave were stopped one after another by the criminal police guarding the exit of the theater,

Everyone also began to realize that something was wrong.

"What's going on? Why are the police here?"

"Just now I thought I saw Detective Maori being pulled into the background."

"Could it be that someone is dead?!"

As the audience interacted with each other at the scene, the news that a murder occurred in the Empire Theater quickly spread.

"Homicide case?!"

Misaki Itakura, who was still angry because the stage play was interrupted, was shocked when she heard the news.

She looked at Koichi Nishihara, who was sitting leisurely in front of the bar of the tavern set up in the center of the stage.

A bad feeling suddenly arose in my heart.

Itakura Misaki still remembers that when she brought Akikawa Kyusuke to the rehearsal for the first time five weeks ago, she was solemnly told by Okino Yoko,

We must keep our artists away from Koichi Nishihara.

Afterwards, Misaki Itakura searched for Nishihara Koichi's name and found out that he had committed two violent incidents in middle school and high school.

Although this matter has been very long ago.

But Misaki Itakura still connected this incident with Koichi Nishihara for no reason.

"No...it can't be possible?! How is it possible! No matter how you talk about this kind of thing..."

The more Misaki Itakura thought about it, the more panicked she became, so she stood up and started walking towards the backstage of the stage.

She wanted to personally confirm the safety of her artist Akikawa Kyusuke and her idol Okino Yoko.

Misaki Itakura was also questioned by the police before entering the backstage.

However, after she revealed her identity as an artist manager, she was still put backstage.

As soon as Itakura Misaki entered the backstage, she noticed that the atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense.

Whether it is Takemura Mine, the director of the stage play, or her idol Okino Yoko, as well as other artists at the scene,

Everyone looked panicked.

After meeting Yoko Okino, Itakura Misaki quietly relaxed a little.

She began to look around, but she could not see her artist Akikawa Kyousuke.

"No...it's impossible. Mr. Akikawa should be in the dressing room. His appearance was in the fifth act, and it's not his turn yet!"

Just as Itakura Misaki was thinking in panic,

Her black eyes suddenly saw emergency personnel carrying a stretcher coming out of the warehouse.

Itakura Misaki hurriedly walked towards the direction of the emergency personnel.

At the same time, Itakura Misaki also discovered.

At this time, there was another figure in the backstage of the stage, and he was also walking quickly towards the emergency personnel with him.

——My idol, Okino Yoko.

Just when no one figured out what was going on,

Misaki Itakura and Yoko Okino had already run to the stretcher carried by the emergency personnel.

When Misaki Itakura saw clearly that she was lying on the stretcher,

Almost half of his face was covered in blood. After the figure wearing a late 19th century British student uniform,

I only felt a strong sense of dizziness rushing straight to my head.

Why is this happening? !

Why did something like this happen to me again?

I obviously successfully entered the company where my idol works.

I got a very good artist to take on the role.

Then the first job was to work with Yoko Okino.

It was obvious that he finally crawled out of that muddy life and started to get back on track.

but why?

It happened that his own artist was killed?

Itakura Misaki only felt that her brain began to become extremely trance-like, and the things in front of her eyes gradually became blurred and had double images.

"Hello, how is his injury?"

A familiar voice sounded clear and pleasant, but full of urgency.

Misaki Itakura turned her head.

I saw the idol Okino Yoko, who was so heroic not long ago, but now her cheeks were filled with an obvious look of panic.

He no longer looked like a shining idol in front of others.

More like a mother who is worried about her injured child.

"The injured person suffered 'several' blows to the head and suffered severe bleeding."

The accompanying police officer explained.

"In addition, the injured person had subconjunctival hemorrhage in his left eye. If not treated in time, it is likely to affect his vision."

"Although it is not life-threatening, the injured person is likely to have a concussion and needs to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible."

Everyone present noticed.

Okino Yoko's cheeks, which were already full of panic, became as white as white paper after hearing the police's speech.

Even his figure began to shake a little.

"Why does Miss Yoko show such a pale expression?"

Misaki Itakura couldn't help but think in her heart.

Just when Okino Yoko was about to leave with the emergency personnel to the hospital, she was suddenly stopped by the police on the side.

The reason is of course because Megure Thirteen and Detective Mouri Kogoro and others are still determining the identity of the murderer.

No one backstage can leave the theater at will.

Okino Yoko was very anxious, so she quickly came to Itakura Misaki's side and grabbed Itakura Misaki's hand.

Then she stared into Itakura Misaki's eyes with her deep blue eyes, and said with a pleading look on her face:

"Can Miss Itakura please accompany Sora to the hospital? I'll come back later."

"Ah, oh, okay."

Misaki Itakura, who was suddenly asked by Okino Yoko, was also a little overwhelmed, so she quickly agreed.

Then she saw Okino Yoko turned to look at the police over there and said loudly:

"This Miss Itakura is Akikawa-kun's manager. She has been in the audience since before the show started and just entered the backstage."

"Miss Itakura cannot be a prisoner, so after the police officer confirms it, can she be allowed to accompany Akikawa-kun to the hospital?"

Upon hearing this, the accompanying policemen also looked at the policeman who had just let Itakura Misaki in.

After receiving confirmation from the other party, the accompanying police officer said:

"Okay, go ahead."

Hearing this, Okino Yoko turned around and held Misaki Itakura's hands together with both hands.

"Please, Miss Itakura."

Itakura Misaki once again saw the sincerity in Okino Yoko's eyes that she had never seen before.

A strong sense of responsibility surged into her heart, and Misaki Itakura nodded heavily.

"Leave it to me, Miss Yoko."

After Misaki Itakura finished speaking, she followed the first responders and the accompanying police officers out of the backstage.

And on the way to the hospital after leaving the theater.

Misaki Itakura looked at Kyusuke Akikawa lying on the stretcher with her eyes closed, and she still couldn't help but recall the extremely panicked expression of Yoko Okino just now.

"I always feel that Ms. Yoko cares more about Mr. Akikawa than ordinary people."

——

The other side.

The artists and staff present did not dare to breathe, and their eyes were silently focused on Okino Yoko.

Okino Yoko's eyes have been following the movements of the people who just left.

And when the other party left the background, the figure completely disappeared from the field of vision.

Everyone heard a "pop" sound.

I saw Okino Yoko falling to his knees on the ground as if all his strength had been drained out in an instant.
