【~ Testimonies about seeing Jack the Ripper at night~】

[Testimony begins]

"I'm a postman, working the night shift, delivering mail in the old London neighborhoods every night until daytime the next day."

"Late this evening, I was on my way with a letter bag, and suddenly I saw a man in strange clothes following a woman!"

"At that time, I thought of the serial killer Jack the Ripper who had been making a lot of noise in Old London recently!"

"But, because the man had a knife in his hand, I was afraid that if I alerted the woman, I would also die."

"So, I hurried outside, intending to find a phone booth to call the police, but I ran into Director Yan Tu..."

“Then, I knew nothing.”

[End of testimony]

“…What’s next?”

Naruhodō Ryunosuke was stunned. He blinked and felt stunned.

Who taught him this trick? Is the other witness in the witness stand Yan Tu Hai Ci? !

He glanced at Yan Tuhaici on the other side, but saw that the new chief commissioner of Scotland Yard was still calm and composed. He even smiled and nodded after noticing his gaze.

In fact, Daniel Mueller's speaking skills were indeed taught to him by Yan Tuhaici.

As a defeated opponent of the legendary lawyer Wright Phoenix, he was deeply impressed by Wright's defense style. Therefore, he simply asked the witness to testify with as few and useless words as possible to respond to the other party's questions.

In this way, even Phoenix Wright would not be able to obtain more information through simple rhetoric.

Although it is unclear what the defense style of Naruhodō Ryunosuke, the ancestor of Naruhodō Ryuichi, is, it seems that the reserve measures he prepared before... seem to have worked. Yan Tu Haici smiled and pushed his red glasses.

"As expected... Naruhodō-kun, your defense style is indeed very similar to Kodou's."

"Haha, is this what it means to say 'If you're not from the same family, you shouldn't leave the same house'?"

He thought to himself.

At this time, Hunter Mo Hao said coldly.

"Narbuto Ryunosuke, please start your questioning phase now. I don't have any extra time to wait for you."

"Or... do you want to leave the courtroom in disgrace and lose this trial?"

Naruhodō Ryunosuke's eyes narrowed.

He had previously thought that these new faces would be unexpectedly difficult, but he had not expected them to be so difficult. They used high-pressure tactics against the defense all the time. Didn't they intend to give them any time to think?

If the presiding judge is completely on the side of the prosecutor, would the prosecutor still say something like "you will only be given one time to question the case"?

He slapped the table and spoke loudly.

"Defense, the questioning phase will begin now!"

[Inquiry starts]

"…Lawyer Naruhodō, did you notice that?"

The boy's voice rang out in the Detective Medal.

"He said he was delivering mail at night and caught a glimpse of Jack the Ripper before he struck, and left to report the incident to the police without either of them noticing."

"Lawyer Naruhodō, have you noticed anything wrong here?"

...something's wrong?

Naruhodō Ryunosuke was a little surprised.

But, did this boy from the Junior Detective Team start reasoning from the very beginning?

So, what is this thing that the young detective mentioned that is wrong?

Naruhodō Ryunosuke's eyes wandered back and forth over the witness Daniel Mueller.

But he didn't find anything wrong...ah, he couldn't find anything wrong here.

Because the young detective was not at the trial scene, and he was not a bat, he could not determine the other person's appearance by voice, let alone know the details of the other person.

Therefore, Conan could only have realized the flaws in the other party's testimony...

"…What is the flaw…what is it…"

Wright began to think rapidly.

When performing mystery plays in the past, Mr. Holmes always used nonsensical reasoning to guide his thinking, just like a crossword puzzle that required him to observe and then fill in the words.

But now, Conan threw the question he wanted to find the answer to in front of him from the very beginning, letting him search for it on his own.

This was an experience completely different from before, making him feel a little strange... but also a little excited.

"……I see."

The barrister closed his eyes.

"I know what's wrong... where it is!"

Chapter 580: Defeat Demon Hunter?

"Mr. Mueller, please tell me, you just said that you were afraid that if you reminded that woman, you would also die..."

"That means you didn't attract the attention of Jack the Ripper and that woman at the time, right?"

Wright Phoenix asked.

Hearing this, Daniel Mueller nodded somewhat unexpectedly, and he said as a matter of course.

"Of course. If I were noticed by Jack the Ripper, I would be killed..."

"Lawyer Naruhodō, do you still need to ask about something like this? You can obviously know the answer by just listening, right?"

In response, Karma Gou at the prosecutor's table nodded in approval, snapped his fingers, and pointed at Naruhodō.

Then he shook his finger and tilted his head, revealing a mocking expression.

"Wright Phoenix, have you been so overwhelmed by the possibility of failure that you are asking such a meaningless question?"

"Mr. Presiding Judge, I now question the professional competence of this famous lawyer... Can such a defense lawyer really speak in such a serious courtroom?"

Prosecutor Hao is still so proud.

His words caused the audience seats in the old London court to become noisy.

In the main seat, an old man wearing a silver wig quickly lowered the gavel.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Silence! Silence! The trial needs to be quiet now! No one is allowed to speak without permission!"

The presiding judge spoke loudly, returning silence to the courtroom.

He looked at Karma Go, paused for a moment, then looked at Naruhodō Ryunosuke in the defense seat and shook his head.

"Parole Assistant Naruhodō, could you please be more serious with your inquiry?"

"If you keep asking such obvious questions, then this court will think that you are deliberately delaying the trial by asking meaningless questions, and if you delay the trial... this court will expel you!"

The old man with the silver wig said such serious words, but Naruhodō Ryunosuke shook his head.

The barrister's face was filled with confidence. He slammed the table without hesitation and spoke loudly.

"Your Excellency, the defense's questions...are not obvious questions!"

"Because, the eyewitness is now...lying!"

Naruhodō's voice quickly spread from the defense seat to all directions, echoing throughout the closed courtroom.

Whether it is the audience seat, the prosecutor's seat, the witness stand, or the main seat.

Everyone heard what Naruhodō said, and they all showed surprised expressions at this time.

Only Yasou Yiyizhen in the dock just folded his elbows. He seemed not to be surprised or shocked at all, and was still so calm and composed - he had known it for a long time.

Naruhodō Ryunosuke was a natural born defense lawyer, as was evident from his first defense in Japan.

His talent as a defense lawyer seemed almost innate. He grew at an incredible speed and surpassed him within a single trial. He also defeated Prosecutor Yane in one fell swoop.

Ya Shuangyi said in his heart.

"... Naruhodō Ryunosuke, what do you want to say?!" Faced with this familiar scene, Karma Go and Gantō Kaiji's pupils shrank. They seemed to have seen another person, another man who was growing up very quickly and raised objections in public.

Phoenix Wright.

A man who, as a fledgling new lawyer, grew into an elite prosecutor within six months.

Although they have completely different experiences and times, the feeling they give people at this moment is extremely similar!

"Daniel Muller is a postman, and he claims to deliver mail every day in the neighborhoods of Old London, which means that he works very long hours every day and is very experienced."

"He said that he came to Old London to work and earn money, and he could even make money by delivering mail in the middle of the night when serial killers were out and about. So, he must value efficiency, and he must want to make more money faster!"

Naruhodō Ryunosuke slammed his hands on the table and spoke loudly.

"That is to say, Daniel Mueller, you are lying!"
