"So I reported it to Scotland Yard but was given a cold shoulder..."

"That is all I know, Mr. Attorney."

[End of testimony]

"...It seems that the situation is now clear, Naruhodō Ryunosuke."

Karma Go snapped his fingers and pointed at Phoenix Wright.

There was a hint of pride in his voice, and he spoke as if it was a matter of course.

"The witness' testimony can prove that the defendant in this case, Yashuang Yiyizhen, Jack the Ripper, met the deceased in the afternoon, and committed the crime that night, killing the deceased in the alley and was caught on the spot!"

"In this case, you have nothing else to say!"

...How can there be nothing to say about this!

Naruhodō Ryunosuke slammed the table without hesitation, refusing to be outdone.

He also pointed at Karma Hao and spoke in a very loud voice.

"What are you talking about! Prosecutor Hao, this only means that the person the witness saw was wearing similar clothes to Ya Shuangyi!"

"It's just a set of clothes. I can wear it too! What does it mean?"

...What a familiar statement.

Juror number five on the jury blinked.

He vaguely remembered that when he was angry about what he said in the court, he also loudly said that he could also wear this clothes.

The only difference is that what he was talking about was the maid uniforms in the cafe, while the ancestor was talking about Jack the Ripper's uniform.

"...It seems that the situation is not very optimistic, but...it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Hmm... they should be here soon...?"

Naruhodō Ryuichi raised his eyebrows uncertainly.

Chapter 592 You've Already Lost

"…What are you talking about? Naruhodō Ryunosuke, are you crazy?"

Demon Hunter slapped the table and said coldly.

"The witness met the customer this afternoon, and you were still on the ship from Japan to Britain at that time!"

"Anyone in the courtroom can wear this suit, except you!"

"Besides that, Naruhodō Ryunosuke, I have already reminded you before!"

He delivered the fatal blow without hesitation.

"In a court of law, the most important thing is evidence! Reasoning without evidence is just imaginary reasoning!"

"You mean [Jack the Ripper wore this suit, but the person wearing this suit is not necessarily Jack the Ripper]? But, Naruhodō Ryunosuke, don't forget..."

"From beginning to end, in the three cases this court has been involved in, Jack the Ripper's outfit has always been the same, and only Yasougi Yishin has ever worn this outfit!"

"If you want to prove the point you want to make, then you have to prove something first!"

Prosecutor Gou's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Naruhodō Ryunosuke's heart.

The prosecutor, who had just arrived at the Old London Court, said in a cold voice.

"You have to prove the possibility that someone other than Asougi Ichima could wear this costume first!"

"Don't you have any evidence to say that there was a madman wearing the same clothes, cloak and mask as Yasou Yizhizhen who killed people in the dark, and then Yasou Yizhizhen knew nothing about it and happened to appear in the same place, and then he raised the dagger that killed the deceased and was caught on the spot?"

"Stop joking! Naruhodō Ryunosuke, aren't you ashamed of your rhetoric?!"

The words of the Demon Hunter were extremely oppressive, but what was even more deadly was...

The situation in the Inquisition changed at this moment, and everyone's thoughts tended to favor Hunter Demon, because they also believed that such a coincidence could never happen.

Because the most unconventional thing about this incident is that it is an indisputable fact that Yasou Yoshikazu was found holding a knife.

If Yasou Yoshiichi really wasn't the murderer, then why was he standing next to the corpse with the murder weapon?

If Yasou Yoshiichi was really the murderer, then why was he standing next to the corpse with the murder weapon?

It is impossible for him not to be the murderer standing next to the corpse with the murder weapon. It is somewhat unlikely that the murderer would be standing next to the corpse with the murder weapon, unless the murderer was really caught red-handed and had no way to escape!

"Yes, yes, Prosecutor Hao is right, I think so too..."

"If he's not the murderer then why is he holding a knife? He must be the murderer!"

"It's really unfortunate for our sect. I didn't expect that Prosecutor Bangjix's disciple would be such a person..."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and Naruhodō Ryunosuke was feeling increasingly bad.

This situation is really difficult to deal with. What he just said is really problematic.

In order to prove that the person mentioned by the new witness is not Asogi Yizhen, it is necessary to prove that there are other people who may have acted in Jack the Ripper's attire.

But the problem is, even though he knew someone was acting in Jack the Ripper's attire, he couldn't get any evidence!

Naruhodō Ryunosuke grasped his head with both hands and buried his fingers in his messy hair.

If it can be proven that the Jack the Ripper who killed Hosou Reito in the hospital was not Asougi...

No, it's not just this breaking point, there's also an opportunity... in the testimony of this new witness.

The barrister looked a little embarrassed, but his eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, there is definitely something wrong with this new witness, there is no doubt about that.

Just like the existence of the Swiss boy before, it was too coincidental, too fortuitous.

Whenever the police needed a witness, a witness would immediately pop up, and his testimony was the kind that could not be verified.

The other party's testimony is likely to be as false as the testimony of Swiss teenager Daniel Mueller...

It's possible that she hadn't even seen Jack the Ripper this afternoon!

“…No matter how desperate the situation ahead is, we have no choice but to keep going down this path…!” “We have to at least delay until Alice and the others come back from their investigation, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted!”

Naruhodō Ryunosuke whispered in his heart.

From the perspective of outsiders, the great lawyer Naruhodō Ryunosuke was devastated by the blow he received from Karma Go and could only hold his head in his hands and doubt his life.

This made the people in the audience even more doubtful of Naruhodō Ryunosuke's ability.

Even Juror No. 1 Ya Liuwuren forced out a mocking smile and spoke to himself.

"It seems that compared to true legends, legends that have not yet fully grown are more likely to fall midway."

"…Really? I don't think so."

Juror number five, Naruhodō Ryuichi, shook his head slightly and smiled.

"I was too proud at the time, so I used unfamiliar evidence without verification."

"But the ancestor won't. He hasn't grown up yet and still knows how to be humble. He won't fall into any traps."

"Besides, there's nothing weird about this look. I've done it all the time."

It's just that when Naruto holds his head with both hands, he can accurately put each finger between each thorn of his spiky head, creating an inexplicable sense of harmony.

"Hmph, it looks like this is the end, Naruhodō Ryunosuke."

Hunter Mohao sneered and did not intend to give the defense any more chances.

"Your Honor, you may now issue a guilty verdict! The winner is decided!"

In response to this, the presiding judge sighed and felt that there was no need for a trial.

Of course, anyone can wear the same set of clothes, but the problem is that only Yasou Giichi has worn them so far.

There is no other person who can wear this special kind of clothes, so it would be too abstract for the defense to point to this point.

"So, about Asougi Ichima's involvement in the Jack the Ripper murders."

"This court hereby announces the final result of the trial——————"

"Do not."

Someone objected.

The presiding judge was stunned and didn't hear clearly, so he asked.

"what?"

In the defense seat, Naruhodō Ryunosuke raised his head with a determined look in his eyes.

"I say no! Your Honor, the defense is still going to enter the questioning phase!"

"The witness's testimony... still has some unclear points!"

…It seems that you are still unwilling to end your failure.

Karma snapped his fingers, stretched out his hand, and shook his fingers.

"There is nothing unclear. What irrelevant things do you want to say?"

"Narhodō Ryunosuke, you... have already lost."

Chapter 593 Unexpected Help

".--It is the natural power of a lawyer to question the testimony of witnesses."

"The prosecutor is not qualified to deprive this power. Is this an unfair court?"

"Do prosecutors in the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs have the right to deprive lawyers of their rights and decide life and death?"

Juror number five on the jury, Naruhodō Ryuichi, said quietly at this time.

Although he didn't curse directly, his sarcastic tone was not much different from cursing.

Moreover, using this kind of back-handed scolding method is more likely to gain the approval of the presiding judge.

After all, from the beginning of the trial until now, the presiding judge seemed to have great faith in the authority of the Old London Court.

Then, Karmahou's behavior has the potential to subvert the judicial order of the old London Tribunal. I guess the presiding judge will not allow it, right?

Of course, Juror No. 5 Naruhodō was not the only one who objected to this. Juror No. 1 Yarushito also spoke up at this time, standing on the side of the defense.

As a lawyer who once defeated Phoenix Wright, he pushed his glasses and then said affirmatively.

"As Juror No. 5 said, questioning witnesses is a natural right of defense counsel."

"The prosecutor has no right to deprive the lawyer of the right to conduct an inquiry, and now Prosecutor Hao actually said such words in public—"

"Haha, have you forgotten your identity and don't know who is the leader of the Tribunal? Can't you tell the difference between the big and small kings?"

Yaluwuren has always been the most aggressive of the four villains.

At this moment, as a lawyer, he was dissatisfied with Karma's behavior and attacked him directly.

"Yalu Wuren, I will remember you————."

Karma Hao turned his head and stared at Yaluwuren fiercely.

He was not surprised that Naruhodō Ryuichi would refute his words, but he did not expect Yaluwuren to jump out.

Originally, it would be impossible for Phoenix Wright alone to change the presiding judge's mind, but if Juror No. 1, Garukito, was added, the situation would become uncertain.

There is a high possibility that the presiding judge will reconsider the impact of this case and ultimately change his original mind.

As expected, the presiding judge, who had been hesitant after Naruhodō Ryuichi spoke, now sided with the defense without hesitation after hearing what Yalukurō said.

The presiding judge changed his previous statement and said,

"The two jurors' remarks are quite reasonable. This court believes that Prosecutor Hao is indeed not qualified to deprive Phoenix Wright of his questioning rights as a paralegal.

? 7

"Well then, please allow Naruhodō Ryunosuke to begin the questioning phase now."

Naruhodō Ryunosuke couldn't help but cheer up. Although he didn't know what was going on, it seemed that he could last one more second!
