But at this moment, Yoko Okino's song reached the climax of the chorus, and everyone in the audience stood up and cheered for her.
Even Conan, the tone-deaf kid, howled with his voice that had been scratched by a ghost, which made Kogoro Mouri unable to leave for a while.
Five minutes later, everyone calmed down and started discussing Yoko Okino's performance.
And Takashi Matsuo also appeared panting and returned to the scene with sweat on his head.
Kogoro Mori stared at Takashi Matsuo doubtfully. Was he going to the toilet or to kill someone?
Killing a person in five minutes?
Is this really possible?
At this time, Takashi Matsuo came on stage and was responsible for the hosting of the show.
He walked over to Yoko Okino with a smile on his face and a microphone in his hand. There was nothing unusual about him. Kogoro Mori also relaxed a little.
"Thank you Ms. Yoko Okino for bringing us such a moving performance!"
Takashi Matsuo's loud voice led the audience to burst into warm applause and cheers again.
When the applause died down, Matsuo Takashi continued, "Ms. Okino Yoko, the song you sang just now was so touching. Can you share with us where the inspiration for this song came from?"
Hearing this, Yoko Okino smiled shyly and said slowly, "This song was actually created to express gratitude to a detective."
As she spoke, she secretly glanced in the direction of Maori Kogoro.
The photographer was very smart and quickly switched the camera to Kogoro Mouri.
Kogoro Mori sat in the VIP area, looking handsome and calm.
As the camera switched, his figure appeared on the big screen and live broadcast.
When the audience saw the image of Kogoro Mori, they immediately burst into exclamations and discussions.
They had never seen such a handsome man, with a 360-degree handsome appearance.
At the same time, the voice of the system popped up in his mind.
[World-Famous (Challenge): Please use this opportunity to make your reputation as a famous detective known. You will receive points upon completing the mission. The reward multiple depends on the number of people.]
Maori Kogoro was slightly stunned, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded politely to the camera, "Hello everyone, I am Maori Kogoro, a detective."
The audience applauded enthusiastically again, and a wave of enthusiasm quickly swept the live broadcast platforms and social media.
Kogoro Mori's handsome image and Yoko Okino's soulful singing became hot topics of discussion, with everyone speculating and discussing the identity and story of this mysterious detective.
At this moment, a staff member ran up in a panic and the camera footage was cut off.
"No...it's not good!"
"Producer Suwa is dead!"
"Wha...what!"
Matsuo Takashi was so nervous that he was about to jump up, and he shouted in an anxious voice: "Then, before the next singer comes on stage, let's take a break and go to a commercial!"
Soon, he hurried to the backstage.
Seeing this, Kogoro Mori naturally didn't want to stay any longer and went straight to the backstage.
Naturally, little Conan also followed. If nothing unexpected happened, something unexpected would have happened at this music festival.
"Dad? Conan?"
Mao Lilan, who was still immersed in the music, was a little surprised, but after all, she had experienced so many things, so she naturally understood what happened and quickly stood up and chased after him.
Backstage at the music festival, Yuko Ikezawa, who was preparing to go on stage as a challenger, was venting her emotions in dissatisfaction.
"What the hell is going on! Why is my show being postponed? Also, what does it mean that the live broadcast might be interrupted?"
She was extremely anxious, because she had the ultimate weapon given to her by Kogoro Mori, "Snow Flower", which could allow her to go on stage and receive the award directly!
At this critical juncture, you actually called a halt to yourself?
"I also want to ask, what exactly is going on?"
Kogoro Mori walked over, patted Ikezawa Yuko's shoulder gently, and asked Matsuo Takashi in a deep voice.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Mori... Our producer, Mr. Michihiko Suwa, was murdered..."
Matsuo Takashi said to Maori Kogoro with a trembling voice, "The police will be here soon..."
"what……"
Yuko Ikezawa was so startled that she almost shrank into Kogoro Mori's arms.
When Mao Lilan saw this scene, she felt inexplicably jealous.
Humph, stinky dad, having contact with other women again.
That won’t do. I have to take care of him for my mother!
However, Kogoro Mori had no time to care about anything else at this moment. His eyes were fixed on Takashi Matsuo.
I knew something was wrong!
My memory is correct, this guy with the middle-parted hair is indeed related to the murder case!
But how did he do it in just five minutes?
Chapter 23 Yes! Miss Mizunashi Reina!
"Anyway, take us to the scene first! Let's stop talking about the music festival first..."
Maori Kogoro wanted to stop the music festival, but Ikezawa Yuko suddenly stood up from his arms and said firmly, "No, the music festival cannot be stopped!"
She gritted her teeth and whispered, "I said I would bring you a championship. The Snow Flower cannot be wasted like this!"
Kogoro Mori was slightly stunned, and looking at Yuko Ikezawa's determined gaze, a smile inexplicably rose in his face.
"Okay, then it's up to you. Just give me some time."
"How long do you want?"
"Ten minutes, help me hold on for ten minutes."
Kogoro Mori glanced at Takashi Matsuo. The criminal was right here. All he had to do was find evidence and complete the reasoning within ten minutes.
If Takashi Matsuo can kill someone in five minutes, why can't he solve the case in ten minutes?
"Ten minutes? Good!"
Ikezawa Yuko nodded seriously, "The music festival can continue, I'll try to delay it for ten minutes on stage!"
"Me too!"
Okino Yoko also ran out at this time, pursed her lips and looked at Maori Kogoro, "Mr. Maori, I can also hold on for ten minutes, giving you enough time to solve the case!"
"Please, solve the case as soon as possible and let our music festival continue!"
Not only the two of them, but even the other challengers came up and looked at Kogoro Mouri with hopeful eyes.
The Neon Music Festival is a rare opportunity for these singers. If it is terminated like this, they may never have another chance.
"I understand."
Maori Kogoro took a deep breath and smiled handsomely, "I, Maori Kogoro, will risk my reputation as a detective and solve the case in the shortest possible time so that the music festival can continue. This is the agreement between you and me!"
"Let's go, Ran! Follow me to the scene! Host Matsuo, you lead the way!"
After saying that, Kogoro Mori grabbed Takashi Matsuo and strode towards the scene.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Maori!"
The girls bowed to Kogoro Mori one after another, and walked towards the stage with determined expressions on their faces.
Mr. Maori has his battlefield, and we have our battlefield!
Mao Lilan looked at her father with admiration and quickly caught up with him.
Conan was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide. Is this extremely handsome and hot uncle really the loser uncle I know?
Also, solving the case in ten minutes?
This challenge is very interesting, and I, the high school detective Shinichi Kudo, accepted it!
Conan rushed forward with great enthusiasm and vowed to solve the case before Mouri Kogoro.
After they left, a woman who had been watching from the backstage asked, "This is big news on Tokyo TV. Did you film it?"
A photographer holding a camera nodded repeatedly and said excitedly: "I got it, I got it!"
"I've caught something good this time. A murder occurred at Tokyo TV, but the music festival went on as usual. The uncle detective boasted that he could solve the case in ten minutes. Hey, this is a great selling point!"
The woman was so satisfied that she was anxious. "Why didn't Nichiuri TV let me get a permanent job this time? Come on, hurry up! We'll start a live broadcast too! Let's show everyone the true face of Tokyo TV!"
"Yes! Miss Mizunashi Reina!"
……
Takashi Matsuo, who has been caught by Kogoro Mori, feels like he is screwed.
He hasn't had time to deal with the things on his body yet, why is this guy holding on to me?
"Hey...Mr. Maori, why don't we wait for the police to arrive first?"
"Mr. Maori! I'm a little scared. Can you let me go to the toilet..."
However, Maori Kogoro was completely like Matsuo Takashi, and gave him a half-smile, "Matsuo host, you should be most familiar with the terrain of the TV station, right?"
"It should be easy enough to take me to the crime scene, right?"
"Or do you have any information about the case that you want to tell me?"
"No...no...I'm just too scared."
Matsuo Takashi smiled awkwardly and had no choice but to accept the defeat and take Mori Kogoro to the crime scene.
He originally wanted to ask a useless detective to come and prove his alibi, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this...
When the four ran to the elevator entrance, they found that the four elevators had been out of use and maintenance workers were busy performing daily maintenance.
Seeing this, Takashi Matsuo explained, "The elevator is under maintenance from 7 to 9 tonight, so we can only take the stairs."
Kogoro Mori looked at Takashi Matsuo again, followed him, and ran down from the eleventh floor.
However, when they ran to the eighth floor, the stairs were broken.
"There was an accident here before, so it's not passable. Let's take the stairs to the emergency exit."
Matsuo Takashi said again.
Maori Kogoro grabbed him and said coldly: "You know we only have ten minutes, don't beat around the bush, take me to the scene quickly."
"I'm beginning to doubt you now."
"Yes Yes……"
Takashi Matsuo wiped the sweat off his forehead, cursed in his heart, and took Kogoro Mori to find the stairs leading to the emergency exit. They finally ran to the crime scene, which was the door of the mixing room on the third floor.
The entrance to the mixing room was already crowded with people, all taking photos with their phones and talking about the topic.
Kogoro Mouri quickly squeezed into the crowd and entered the mixing room.
He saw a fat man with a bowl-shaped head. He had been shot in the forehead, his brain burst, and he collapsed against the wall. His death was extremely tragic.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is an old-fashioned large flip window behind him, which can be opened with a push.
Seeing this classic scene, how could Kogoro Mouri not know which plot this was about?
"father!"
When Mao Lilan saw this horrifying scene, she immediately threw herself into Mao Li Kogoro's arms. He gently rubbed his daughter's head and said softly, "I will solve this case quickly, don't be afraid."
"Help me stop other people from coming in and destroying the scene."
"By the way, we must not let Matsuo Takashi get away. He is an important suspect."
