Chapter 50 Please, Ms. Itakura

In the auditorium of the Imperial Theatre.

Many audience members were confused by the sudden end of the performance.

Since the stage play could not be continued, many people thought about leaving directly.

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

Everyone began to realize that something was wrong.

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

"Just now I seemed to see Detective Maori being dragged backstage."

"Could it be that someone is dead?!"

As the audience at the scene communicated with each other, the news of a murder in the Empire Theatre spread quickly.

"Murder...case?!"

Itakura Misaki, who was originally angry because her stage play was interrupted, was also shocked after hearing the news.

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

I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart.

Itakura Misaki still remembers that when she first brought Akikawa Sosuke to the rehearsal five weeks ago, Okino Yoko solemnly told her,

Keep your artist away from Koichi Nishihara.

After that, after searching for Koichi Nishihara's name, Misaki Itakura found out that he had committed two serious violent assaults in middle school and high school.

Although this incident happened a long time ago.

But for no reason, Misaki Itakura still linked this incident to Koichi Nishihara.

"No... No way?! How is it possible! No matter how you look at it, such a thing..."

The more Itakura Misaki 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 Sousuke and idol Okino Yoko.

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

However, after she revealed her identity as an artist's agent, she was still allowed backstage.

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

Whether it was the director of the stage play, Takemura Mine, her idol, Okino Yoko, or other artists at the scene,
Everyone looked anxious.

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

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

"No... Impossible. Mr. Akikawa should be in the dressing room. He will appear in the fifth act, and it is 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 emergency personnel.

At the same time, Itakura Misaki also discovered.

At this moment, there was another figure behind the stage, who was also walking quickly towards the emergency personnel along with him.

——It’s my idol, Yoko Okino.

When no one knew what was going on,
Itakura Misaki and Okino Yoko had already run to the stretcher carried by the emergency personnel.

When Itakura Misaki saw clearly the person lying on the stretcher,

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

I just felt a strong feeling of dizziness suddenly rushing to the top of my head.

Why is this happening? !
How could something like this happen to me again?
I have successfully entered the company where my idol works.

We got a very talented artist.

Then my first job was working with Yoko Okino.

It was obvious that I had finally crawled out of that miserable life and started to get back on track.

but why?
Why did it happen that it was his own artist who was killed?

Itakura Misaki felt her brain begin to become extremely hazy, and the things in front of her eyes gradually became blurred and doubled. "Hello, how is his injury?"

A familiar voice, clear and pleasant, but filled with urgency, sounded.

Itakura Misaki turned her head.

The idol, Yoko Okino, who was so heroic not long ago, now had a look of obvious panic on her face.

He no longer looked like the shining idol in front of people.

It's more like a mother who is anxious about her injured child.

"The victim suffered 'several' blows to the head and was bleeding severely."

The accompanying police explained.

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

"Although there is no danger to life, 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 it.

Yoko Okino's face, which was already filled with panic, turned even paler than a sheet of paper after hearing what the police said.

Even his body began to shake.

"Why does Miss Yoko look so frightened?"

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

Just as Yoko Okino was about to follow the emergency personnel to the hospital, she was suddenly stopped by a policeman nearby.

The reason, of course, is that Megure Juzo and detective Mori Kogoro are still trying to determine the identity of the murderer.

No one backstage can leave the theater at will.

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

Then she stared into Itakura Misaki's eyes with her deep blue eyes and said pleadingly:
"Could you please, Ms. Itakura, accompany Sora to the hospital? I'll come over later."

"Oh, oh, okay."

Itakura Misaki was a little overwhelmed when she was suddenly asked by Okino Yoko, and she quickly agreed.

Then she saw Okino Yoko turned her head and looked 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 went backstage."

"Itakura-san can't be the criminal, so after the officer confirms it, can you let her accompany Akikawa-kun to the hospital?"

Upon hearing this, the accompanying police officer looked at the police officer who had just let Itakura Misaki in.

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

"Okay, go ahead."

Upon hearing this, Yoko Okino turned around, clasped her hands together and held up Itakura Misaki's hands.

"I'm counting on you, Ms. 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 in her heart, and Itakura Misaki nodded heavily.

"Leave it to me, Miss Yoko."

After saying this, Itakura Misaki followed the emergency personnel and the accompanying police and left the backstage.

On the way to the hospital from the theater.

Itakura Misaki looked at Akigawa Sosuke lying on the stretcher with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but recall the extremely panicked expression of Okino Yoko just now.

"I feel like Ms. Yoko seems to care about Mr. Akikawa more than most people."
-
the other side.

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

Yoko Okino's eyes were following the movements of the people who had just left.

And after the other party left the backstage and his figure completely disappeared from sight.

Everyone heard a "plop" sound.

It seemed as if all of Yoko Okino's strength had been drained away in an instant, and she fell to her knees.
