In fact, the crowd was still reacting to the killing, that's how Kougami was able to figure out how the mask works. The copied person's coefficient was making spikes as the blows landed. Also there's the fact that whole area stress increased rapidly to warrant investigation.

As for Akane, she was getting to a good point as a character but then ep11 happened with its idiot ball ex machina. She was sacrificed by the author vs the character who had absolute plot armor at that point and was sacrificed so Makishima would look like a badass manipulator while she looked like a complete weakling. I doubt that the author would be able to recover her prestige even if he wanted this late in the story. Merely maintaining a carefree state isn't cool by itself, people won't cheer for it. They will cheer for the guy who bashes skulls in with baseball bats 1vs3 even if he eats babies alive after this point, as they're doing.
