The judge's gavel came down.

[“Testimony on all the circumstances surrounding the Gypsy murder case~]

[Testimony begins]

"The deceased in this case was a wandering person, a gypsy with no fixed place to live, and the deceased was a man."

"During his lifetime, he roamed around various locations in Old London, maintaining a certain peculiar pattern. According to investigations, he seemed to have a history of illegally trading games—"

"This pattern of wandering around multiple locations without leaving Old London is most likely a means of survival for the deceased to avoid debts and continue his illegal trading game."

"As for why the deceased was wearing strange clothes and looked like a wizard—"

"In fact, this is one of the ways the dead make a living, because in the eyes of the British, gypsies are mysterious, possessing witchcraft and being good at divination."

"So the deceased, who knew nothing about this, would go to the streets in this disguise and obtain some money from the citizens of old London through deception and blackmail, which would serve as initial funds for the subsequent illegal trading game."

"So, I think the death of the deceased was most likely due to the fact that he owed too much money, or because he cheated or extorted too much money in something, which led to revenge killing."

[End of testimony]

Rainer Kendall's testimony seemed a little far-fetched.

At least, in Naruhodō Ryunosuke's opinion, there were many points that he should have raised but did not.

Such as the white powder on the body of the deceased, or the crow feathers of the extremely black night crow near the deceased.

In other words, Reiner Kend is most likely a corrupt police officer who is completely inclined to Yan Tu Haici's side. His testimony is full of lies. If we can find a loophole in the logical chain and defeat him...

"" - There's a high probability that we can get testimony that's unfavorable to Yan Tu Hai Ci, right?"

Naruhodō muttered.

The Shinigami elementary school student next to him nodded in agreement.

He stroked his chin, his eyes wandering around the criminal in charge.

In the Sherlock Holmes collection, there was a passage that mentioned the logician's argument. Although it was not a point of view recognized or expressed by Holmes, it still had some merits in Conan's eyes.

For example, if obtaining this criminal suspect is the final result of the corrupt police under Yan Tu Haici, and if we trace back the case based on various events from this final result...

"The case can be solved."

Edogawa Conan said as if talking to himself.

Chapter 631 Continuous Breakthroughs

"It seems that the cause and effect of the gypsy's murder are very clear. So, defense lawyer, do you have any other questions? In my opinion, there is no need to ask any more questions!"

Standing at the prosecutor's seat, Karma Hao folded his arms, tapped his elbows with his fingers, and said indifferently.

Even though Yan Tu Haici seemed to be on guard against him, he did intend to find an opportunity to trick Yan Tu Haici, but definitely not now, at least not right away.

No matter what, you have to pretend to do it and then give a push when things are almost done.

This way, when the Mortal Kombat is about to happen, he can say that he has done his best.

".—? Hmm, that sounds like it does."

The presiding judge nodded as well, he also felt there was no need to ask any more questions.

After all, such vendettas were common in the lower city of old London, let alone a gambler, blackmailer, and gypsy who no one cared about?

The possibility of the case just described by Reiner is indeed very likely to happen in reality.

"Then, Attorney Naruhodō, does the defense still want to question Officer Reiner's testimony?"

Isn't this nonsense?

Naruhodō Ryunosuke sighed, then spoke loudly.

"Of course, the defense is going to question the witnesses about their testimony, and now!"

If he is not going to question the witness, then why does he have the witness appear in court? Is it just for fun?

Hearing this, the presiding judge coughed twice and then nodded.

"Then, let's follow the defense's advice and start your questioning phase!"

[Inquiry starts]

So, where should you ask first?

Naruhodō Ryunosuke tapped his forehead with his finger and was thinking.

At least there is no need to ask about the first sentence. Reiner Kend is not the previous director of St. Andrew's Hospital. You cannot use the method of questioning him sentence by sentence to affect his mentality. You have to question only the parts that can be questioned.

Otherwise, if you questioned me one by one, the prosecutor's intimidation would most likely ruin my impression of you with the presiding judge. "Officer Reiner, please elaborate on your second statement."

Naruhodō made up his mind and then asked.

"Officer Reiner, when you talk about illegal trading games, do you mean the kind of card or dice games where money is staked? Can you tell me all the places where the deceased roamed?"

Those who understand the so-called illegal trading game will understand it.

When Reiner Kend heard Naruhodō's question, he answered without hesitation.

"Of course, the deceased often visited the following four places."

"Illegal underground game places, porn clubs, huts for living, and parks that are easy to hide in."

These four places don't sound good. They are indeed the kind of places that possess all five poisons. Naruhodo is ashamed and thinks that it's a good thing that he hasn't been contaminated by any of the bad things in them.

However, he quickly rubbed his chin with his hand and began to think.

So, if we throw it out now, can we get a good result?

"Wright, I also have an investigation file on the murder of the gypsies."

He heard Conan's voice and quickly turned to look at the young detective.

The young man took out a file bag from somewhere and placed it on the table.

In the investigation information column of the file bag, the name of Baroque Benziks was clearly written.

"Prosecutor Benziks—he's definitely not just sitting there waiting to die!"

Naruhodō Ryunosuke perked up.

In fact, this was the result Conan obtained after asking Baroque Vanziks to use his connections to investigate after the phone call at Scotland Yard.

The name of Baroque Benziks is included only to legitimize the investigation.

He quickly opened the investigation materials, and then couldn't wait to pull out the letter paper.

The contents of the letter were surprising.

""—Is this, an account book?"

The barrister was a little surprised. He flipped through a few pages and found that these were obviously taken from the account book and copied onto the letter paper. The content was completely incomprehensible and was simply information recorded in code.

However, when he turned to the last page, he saw lines of Japanese written on it.

This was not the handwriting of Prosecutor Bangix. That native of old London, a pure British nation, did not know how to write in Japanese. It was obvious that a Japanese had cracked the code and copied the information!

An incredible result flashed through Naruhodō's mind. He swallowed and looked at Conan.

The Shinigami elementary school student put his hands in his pockets, seemed to notice Naruhodō's gaze, and nodded slightly.

As one of the top high school detectives in the real world, his reasoning and puzzle-solving abilities are beyond the reach of ordinary people. The puzzles left by Noah's Ark are at most difficult for ordinary children.

Xiaolan might be stuck on a puzzle for about an hour, and Huibara could probably decipher it in fifteen minutes. As for him?

Three minutes——————is enough.

"To deal with Reiner Kendall, Naruhodo, I suggest you use the method of continuous breakthrough."

"What the other party said should be what Yan Tu Haici taught him. The faster you break through, the more computing power he needs to think about and make up for his lies, and the more likely he is to make mistakes and have problems."

"As long as there is a problem with Reiner Kend, you only need to observe the changes in Yan Tu Hai Ci's micro-expressions, and you can easily break through Yan Tu Hai Ci's defense from this aspect."

Conan said calmly.

He and Xiang Yuanguang cooperated in the same way in the trial. He deduced the composition of the witnesses, their relationship to the case, and the general direction of breakthrough.

Then Xiang Yuanguang would use his wind magic, which was extremely unscientific, combined with his extremely oppressive fighting power to make the witness reveal all the true information.

But... that seems to have been some time ago.

After Xiang Yuanguang grew faster and faster, he and Xiang Yuanguang rarely cooperated in the court.

"Is that so? I understand. Then—leave it to me!"

Naruhodō Ryunosuke's expression turned serious.

Now Conan helped him solve the most difficult step in dealing with Reiner Kend.

It is equivalent to putting the meal in front of him. If Conan is asked to feed the meal into his mouth, it would be too disrespectful to the young detective and would also be too contemptuous of his own lawyer qualities.

Now, he will use continuous breakthroughs to get rid of Reiner Kend in one go!
