I'm in Conan, but I'm in Ace Attorney

[Inquiry starts]

As soon as the questioning stage began, Yuantai shouted without hesitation.

"Grandpa Yan Tu, you said [In order to catch Jack the Ripper, the guys from Scotland Yard patrolled everywhere with all their might], why is that?"

…This question is so obvious, is it really necessary to ask?

Yan Tu Haici's gaze narrowed slightly, and his attention shifted from Naruhodō Ryunosuke to the members of the Junior Detective League. He felt a little surprised. This kind of approach of taking a shot without getting anything in hand was the real Ayazato-ryu.

Regardless of whether the questioning can obtain valid testimony, all testimonies must be questioned.

He shook his head, then smiled and replied.

"This is of course because Jack the Ripper had already committed two brutal murders, which even made headlines in newspapers and made many citizens afraid to go out at night."

"Because Scotland Yard has not caught Jack the Ripper, its reputation has declined. If its reputation declines too much... everyone's salary evaluation will be in trouble."

"Haha, whether it's for your own salary assessment or for justice, you should work hard, right?"

This answer is quite reasonable.

Naruhodō pinched his chin and nodded slightly.

Most professionals will work harder if it involves their salary, let alone such a serious job as a police officer in Scotland Yard.

He asked following Yuantai's question.

"Then, Chief Inspector, may I ask why you were on patrol with those Scotland Yard officers? Was it just because you got excited? ... Were you like this in the days before today?"

When they were inside the detention center, Ya Shuangyi once mentioned that Director Yan Tu arrived at the scene too quickly and led the way, which made people wonder whether Director Yan Tu was an accomplice of Professor Moriarty.

Now that Naruhodō Ryunosuke asked this question in public, he naturally hoped to get an answer.

Director Yan Tu clapped his hands and gave this answer with a smile.

"Haha, to be honest, I really haven't done this before."

"As for why I did this today, firstly, I was inspired by the attitude of those guys, and secondly, because two murders happened tonight, and I don't want other innocent people to die."

"Are you satisfied with this answer, Attorney Naruhodō?"

Chapter 572: Demon Hunter's Warning

...Two murders occurred tonight? That's right.

Information about the two cases flashed in Naruhodō Ryunosuke's eyes.

One is the shooting of Dr. Hosou Reito, and the other is the murder of Jack the Ripper. It's not surprising that it turned out like this... Hmm? It seems a bit strange...?

Why are there two murders? When Chief Yan Tu was on duty, wasn't there only one murder that happened, the murder of Hosho Reito as described in [Gina's Reply]?

It sounded as if Director Yan Tu had known that two murders would occur tonight!

Without having time to think, Naruhodō slammed the table with a dull sound and asked loudly.

"Director Yan Tu, I would like you to give further testimony on what you just said!"

"You said that one of the reasons you went to the scene in person was because two murders occurred tonight. But didn't Jack the Ripper kill his third victim after you went to the scene in person?!"

"According to the description of Gina Lestrade, a police officer from Scotland Yard, you led the police team in person only after she returned to the police station and reported to you that Hosho Reito had been shot..."

"Could it be that another murder occurred during this period of time?!"

Hearing this, the presiding judge's eyes lit up as he noticed this special situation.

If Director Yan Tu did not make a slip of the tongue, doesn't this mean that he knew that two murders would occur tonight, so he went to the crime scene to arrest the people as soon as possible?

If the defense persists, this alone can make Yan Tu Hai Ci one of the suspects!

"Yes, just as you said, another murder occurred during this period of time."

Yan Tuhaici said with a smile without any concealment, and he reached out to adjust his glasses.

Then he clapped his hands again and spoke seriously.

"There was a gypsy who was shot dead in the dead of night in old London. The murderer has not yet been found, and I do not mention it specifically because I do not think it is relevant to this case."

"So, Naruhodō-kun, do you want to say that this case is related to this one and link them together? Or do you want to conduct further inquiries on this case?"

……Gypsy?

Naruhodō Ryunosuke was stunned.

He knew the Gypsies, a nomadic race with no fixed place to live and who were always mysterious and spooky.

Three months ago, while wandering the streets, he met a gypsy who liked fortune-telling.

However, Yan Tu Haici's words were just nonsense in Naruhodō Ryunosuke's eyes. Since new information points had appeared, he must of course seize the opportunity and grasp all the information points in one go!

But just when Naruhodō was about to continue his in-depth questioning, Karma Gou in the prosecutor's seat suddenly spoke.

Lao Deng's tone was still as arrogant as before, and he spoke as if threatening.

"Don't say I didn't warn you, Naruhodō Ryunosuke. The judge and I have a limit to how much we can tolerate you. If you waste too much time, you know what the final result will be!"

The implication of this sentence is undoubtedly to warn Naruhodō Ryunosuke not to ask about the second gypsy murder case, which Yan Tukai believed was unrelated to the current case.

However, as the saying goes, the more your opponent opposes something, the more you will do it.

Naruhodō Ryunosuke looked at the members of the Junior Detective League next to him, and after seeing that the three [lawyers] had no objection, he spoke loudly without hesitation.

"Wasn't Mr. Baosheng shot to death? The same situation as the gypsies were shot to death!" Such words made Karma Hao sneer. He swung his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Idiot, does being shot by a gun have to matter? Since you must do this... okay."

"I will let you finish asking about this irrelevant case, but if this case really has nothing to do with the current case... you should know how the presiding judge and I will treat you!"

Hearing what Karma Hao said, the chief judge couldn't help but blink his eyes.

Although he didn't know why, this new prosecutor seemed to be very familiar with him.

What does his attitude towards Naruhodō Ryunosuke have to do with you? How can they be linked?

Although he was complaining in his heart, the presiding judge wearing a silver wig did not say it directly.

On the one hand, it was to give face to Hunting Demon Hao, and on the other hand, he also somewhat agreed with what Hunting Demon Hao said.

Although what that guy said was indeed unpleasant, this is indeed the situation.

The trial time for this case was very tight, otherwise the case would not have been tried on the same day the arrest was made. If Naruhodō Ryunosuke wasted time on a case that the police considered irrelevant.

Even though he had a good relationship with Naruhodō Ryunosuke, he had to give a warning or punishment at this time.

This is the order of the court, and as the presiding judge, he has to maintain it.

After all, there are many citizens of the British Empire watching here, and the order of the courtroom reflects the credibility of the British Empire's judicial system!

"Then, Director Yan Tu, please give me the information about the murdered gypsy!"

Naruhodō Ryunosuke looked at Yan Tu Haici at the testimony stand and said seriously.

In his eyes, the suspicion of the relationship between Yan Tuhaici and Professor Moriarty has become increasingly greater. Therefore, even if Yan Tuhaici shows resistance here, he will once again ask the other party to provide information about the case.

However, to Naruhodō Ryunosuke's surprise, Yan Tu Haici had no intention of resisting at all.

The new commissioner of Scotland Yard just smiled and shook his head, then took out the case information wrapped in a file bag from under the testimony desk and placed it on the table.

Yan Tu Haici smiled and clapped, then said.

"Haha, it's good for young people to have a little questioning spirit. Naruhodō-kun, take it. This is the case information you want. Let's see if I can help you!"

"I hope you can find some information that can help solve the case!"

...So simple?

Naruhodō Ryunosuke was stunned. He felt that this situation seemed a little wrong.

However, the two cases occurred on the same night with the same murder method. It really doesn't seem right to say that they are unrelated. Even though Yan Tu Haici's attitude is weird, he has to continue investigating.

He walked out of the defense seat, came to the front of the testimony desk, and then picked up the case information.

Chapter 573 Trap

According to Yan Tu Hai Ci, the murder of gypsies had nothing to do with the Jack the Ripper murders...

There was a hint of caution in Naruhodō Ryunosuke's eyes.

Although he had a vague feeling that Humahao and Yantu Haici were most likely setting a trap for him, without any useful evidence in his hands, he had no choice but to fall into it even if it was a trap.

As long as we can find any tiny crack point, any loophole...

He is determined to completely reverse the case and make a complete comeback.

"…How pathetic, Naruhodō Ryunosuke."

The Yaluwuren from the jury said softly with his ancestral fake smile.

Although as partners of Professor Moriarty, they had a bad relationship with each other and did not even communicate with each other, it did not mean that they had never exchanged any information or cooperated at all.

For example, the information about the murder of a gypsy in the hands of Naruhodō Ryunosuke is included in the information.

Whether it was Hunter Hau, Yan Tu Haici, or him, they all knew that the so-called second murder case had nothing to do with Jack the Ripper's murders.

This is just a trap, a snare, to give Demon Hunter a legitimate reason to use the Demon Hunter style of play.

The so-called demon hunting style is a tactic in which prosecutors relentlessly pursue defense lawyers, constantly using their advantages to force lawyers to ignore or give up certain inquiries and opportunities to present evidence.

Demon Hunter was able to use this set of skills to perfection in the former Inquisition because of his extensive experience.

Although his reputation is not good, his decades of undefeated record are there. Even the chief judge of Tokyo has to consider Karma's words again and again, or even blindly follow them, which makes Karma difficult to confront in the court.

But it was different in the Old London Court. Karma was just a new prosecutor temporarily assigned to the Procuratorate by Professor Moriarty. It could be said that he had almost no advantage in the Old London Court.

Moreover, given Demon Hunter's arrogant attitude, it was impossible for him to use other means to please the Chief Judge and improve his status in the eyes of the Chief Judge. Therefore, he adopted another method.

Since it is impossible to improve the status and voice of prosecutors, then we should just lower the status and voice of lawyers.

Just like a balance, continuously adding to your own chips can make the balance tip to your side. While keeping your own chips still, you can reduce the other party's chips and achieve the same effect.

"...The murders of the gypsies...are really unrelated...?"

At this moment, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Ryunosuke Naruhodō in the defense seat.

He only took a glance at the case information and immediately came to this conclusion. The reason was simple: there was something wrong with the location where the gypsies were killed.

Although he had not lived in Old London for a long time, he was not so unfamiliar with the administrative divisions here.

The hospital where Hosou Reito was murdered and the alley where Asou Yoshikazu was caught by the police are in the same area, so if Asou Yoshikazu is the murderer, he had enough time to travel back and forth to commit the crime.

But the location of the gypsy murders was different. It was a district far away from the edge of old London. If the real murderer went there to kill the gypsies after killing Hosho Reito, it would be impossible for him to turn back and kill people!

Crash——-——

Naruhodō placed the case information on the table, and his eyes quickly scanned the words on it, over and over again.

This might be a trap, but even if it is a trap, there should be ways to exploit it.

Just as he suspected at the beginning, why were the gypsies shot at such a delicate time, neither early nor late, it was simply an excuse for Yan Tuhaici to lead the investigation.

“…Damn it, what on earth is the problem…?”

Seeing this scene, Demon Hunter couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

If this were a court in Tokyo, he would definitely yell at these guys and ask the presiding judge to kick these kids who don't even meet the qualifications to be lawyers out of the courtroom.

Unfortunately, this is the old London Court. He can be arrogant and bad, but he cannot order the presiding judge to do anything.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be the presiding judge's evaluation of Naruhodō Ryunosuke that would decline. I'm afraid even the evaluation of the new prosecutor would also drop to the bottom.

"I have never heard of this place. What is this place?"

Yuantai said somewhat puzzledly, scratching his head, looking as if he had no idea of ​​the situation at all.

However, it is not Yuan Tai's fault that he was confused. In fact, if many people in modern society were to come here, they would probably be confused as well. The reason is that the regional planning of old London in the late 19th century...

How many people could know this clearly? Besides, Phoenix Wright didn't even have a map with him!

"I don't know, but this must be the conspiracy of the evil Professor Moriarty!"

Mitsuhiko, who was lying on the other side, said angrily.
