Synopsis

“The 33-Minute Detective: Comedy Club Murder Mystery”

Detective Rokuro Kurama (Tsuyoshi Domoto) and his team rush from Kyoto to Osaka following a murder at a comedy club. The victim: Kishimoto of comedy duo Frankenz, found collapsed on stage by security.

Upon arrival, Detective Mogi brings in comedian Sano from duo Kerokero, a known troublemaker who quickly confesses to beating Kishimoto. However, Kurama interrupts, declaring he’ll solve the case in 33 minutes.

The investigation reveals deeper complexities: Kishimoto’s partner Kudo with a perfect alibi, an overenthusiastic manager, and the victim’s secret bookings against their agency’s wishes. The medical examiner finds crucial evidence: the fatal wound was to the back of the head, impossible from a face-to-face fight, plus mysterious burn marks around the mouth.

After consulting an informant about the volatile personality of Sano’s partner Nakajima, Kurama pieces together the clues and gathers all suspects for the dramatic revelation.
