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

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!"

"Ah I?"

Daniel Mueller subconsciously took a step back.

"You must have alarmed Jack the Ripper, because an experienced courier would use a bicycle as a means of transportation. Would a courier like you who pursues efficiency not even use a bicycle and deliver the mail on foot?"

"As long as the bicycle is in use, the friction between the chains will definitely be audible to a serial killer like Jack the Ripper in the quiet streets of old London!"

"So, if you encounter him while delivering mail, it is impossible not to alert Jack the Ripper!"

Naruhodō Ryunosuke said with great certainty.

However, at this moment, Hunter Hao slammed the table and said with a sneer.

"What does that mean? If the witness had a small allotment of correspondence which he could have carried on foot, why did he use a bicycle?"

"This is impossible!"

The barrister turned his head suddenly and pointed at Karma Hao in the air.

"If your assumption is correct, it doesn't make sense. If there are only a few letters, why do they have to wait from the evening until the next day? If they are really distributed according to quantity, and the quantity is small..."

“Then it’s even more important for Daniel Mueller to use a bicycle as a moving prop!”

"Prosecutor Hao! If you were a courier, and the number of people was small, and there was a danger of a serial killer lurking in the middle of the night, would you deliver the mail on foot instead of using a bicycle to quickly deliver the mail and go home?!"

"Uh……"

Damn, my arm is starting to ache again.

Karma Hao subconsciously covered his arm, his face darkened and he stopped talking.

As an experienced prosecutor, he realized that if he continued asking, Naruhodō Ryunosuke might take this opportunity to jump to another aspect - he was very likely to say so.

[If the number of letters is so small that there is no need to use a bicycle and one can just walk home quickly, then it is likely that someone else sent the letters, so he is an arranged witness.]

If it came to that, Naruhodō Ryunosuke might really take advantage of the situation and ask the presiding judge to adjourn the court for a day to investigate all the people who asked Daniel Moore to send the letter that day.

And during this day... the defense is likely to directly eliminate the information gap between the two sides!

"… Naruhodō Ryunosuke, you bastard…"

He lowered his head, not wanting others to see his expression...

As if he was frustrated by Naruhodō Ryunosuke's reasoning?

Chapter 581 Reversal

Without caring about Karma's reaction, Naruhodō Ryunosuke stared at Daniel Muller.

Without hesitation, he slammed the table again and continued asking questions.

"Mr. Mueller, tell me, did you use a bicycle as a means of transportation that day?!"

Daniel Mueller's forehead was covered with sweat.

And at this moment, Yan Tu Haici spoke.

"Narihodō-kun, using coercion and bribery at this time is not a just act for a lawyer."

The new director of Scotland Yard clapped his hands and smiled, giving people an inexplicable sense of danger.

"Whether you use a bicycle as a means of transportation or not, it does not necessarily mean that you will be discovered by Jack the Ripper."

"After all... before the witness found us and called the police, the bells of Big Ben rang."

"Isn't it normal that the sound of a bicycle chain is ignored by the sound of the clock telling the time on the hour?"

Hearing this, Daniel Mueller also reacted. He immediately nodded repeatedly and started speaking.

"That's right. Although I was using a bicycle to deliver the mail, Big Ben happened to be ringing at that time."

"Then I saw Jack the Ripper following a woman, so I took my bike and went to find the police..."

"objection!"

Naruhodō Ryunosuke pointed his finger at Daniel Muller and shouted with great momentum.

The Swiss boy immediately stopped speaking and looked at Naruhodō Ryunosuke in surprise and suspicion.

And the barrister spoke without hesitation.

"That's impossible! If you saw Jack the Ripper following a woman, then you would definitely be discovered by Jack the Ripper, even with the sound of Big Ben as a cover!"

"W-why?! He was wearing strange clothes, so conspicuous, I could tell from a distance!"

Daniel Mueller spoke loudly and excitedly, refuting what Naruhodō Ryunosuke said.

Yan Tuhaici narrowed his eyes, vaguely realizing the problem.

At this time, Naruhodō Ryunosuke turned his head to look at Asogi Yizhizhen in the dock, and then turned back to look at the presiding judge.

"Your Excellency, do you think what the witness said makes sense?"

The old man with a wig sitting in the main seat was stunned.

He didn't expect that he would be involved... Oh, that's right, he is the presiding judge.

So the old man adjusted his reading glasses, looked at the defendant Xi Yashuangyi Yizhen, and nodded.

"I think what the witness said makes sense because the defendant's appearance is indeed conspicuous enough."

"There's also a half-covered mask as evidence in this case, right? If you put it on..."

"Even for me, I would find it strange and suspicious to see a defendant like this late at night."

Then, he looked at Naruhodō Ryunosuke in the defense seat with some pride and spoke loudly.

"That's right. Look, Jack the Ripper was wearing something so conspicuous that he looked suspicious even from a distance!"

"I think your purpose as a defense lawyer is to get Jack the Ripper released. You are just looking for trouble!"

"I will never let you release Jack the Ripper, otherwise I will be retaliated against!"

Hmm, that makes sense...right?
