People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 536: The Detainee - Yasou Yoshikazuma

"…Is Hosou Reito already dead? This is really surprising."

The new chief parachuted into Scotland Yard shook his head.

He seemed to be very sorry about the death of Baosheng Lidou, or maybe he was just pretending.

Gina Lestrade, who sat before the new chief, remained silent.

She couldn't help but think of what Reito Hosou said before he was shot.

[…Beware of any officer-type characters that appear during this period, whether they are from the police station or the chief judge…]

The other party was almost saying that there was something wrong with the police chief who was parachuted into Scotland Yard.

But, is there really something wrong with him? This is just one-sided words from Reito Hosho that are not very credible...

"What's wrong? Little Gina, it looks like you've suffered quite a blow this time."

"I still prefer your usual lively and energetic self...Okay, let's do this."

The new chief of the police station stood up. He was very tall and had an indescribable majesty.

When she first saw him, Gina felt an overwhelming sense of rejection, but it quickly disappeared after contact.

Because the new chief was really good to his subordinates, and the more active and lively the police officers were, the more likely they would get recognition from the new chief. That was why Gina was promoted from a reserve police officer to a regular officer.

"...Xiao Gina, after the record is finished, I will give you a few days off so you can adjust your mentality."

The new director of Scotland Yard walked up to Gina, making her more aware of the height difference between them.

He wore an orange double-breasted coat, black gloves, and glasses that were lavender, almost pink.

He looks very old, with white hair and beard, just like a grandfather.

Gina came back to her senses, shook her head violently, tried to cheer herself up, and replied seriously.

"It's okay, I'm fine... May I ask where the transcript is...?"

"Director Yan Tu...?"

Director Yan Tu just smiled and touched her head, as if he was treating his own granddaughter.

"Little Gina, please confirm once more the appearance of the shooter you saw."

"He was wearing a black cape and a white mask covering the upper half of his face, right?"

"Is such that……"

Gina nodded, and then she saw Director Yan Tu take out a photo from the file bag next to him.

The smiling police chief picked up the photo and asked.

"Is this what it looks like?"

...The person in this photo is...Asogi Yizhizhen...?
Gina thought of the prosecutor who had once worked with the famous London prosecutor Baroque Benziks.

Looking back now, both parties were dressed exactly the same, just like in this photo.

But... the prosecutor, Asogi Yoshikazuma, who is from Japan like Naruhodō...

Would he really kill his former comrade-in-arms, Reito Hosho, with his own hands...?

"That's exactly the suit I saw..."

Officer Lestrade said quietly.

---------

The nights in old London always seemed quiet, as if there was no pedestrian, only the dim lights of the street lamps.

However, after the appearance of Jack the Ripper, this tranquility turned into a dangerous and terrifying place.

There were already few pedestrians on the street, and after the appearance of this serial killer who killed people in the dark, the number of pedestrians became even smaller.

The police officers in the police station always clamored that if they were allowed to catch Jack the Ripper, they would definitely teach him a lesson.

However, the quality of the police officers in old London is not much different from that of the police officers in the Criminal Department of Beika Town.

It was already difficult for them to deal with some ordinary murderers and thieves, let alone Jack the Ripper? Not to mention that Jack the Ripper was now supported by Professor Moriarty.

However, all this will change today.

"ah-------"

As screams pierced the night sky, Scotland Yard police officers strode towards the source of the screams.

They originally thought that this time would be the same as the previous two crime scenes, where they could only see the bodies of the deceased.

But this time it was different, they saw another person next to the dead body.

The man was wearing a black cloak and a white mask, and his appearance was exactly the same as what Officer Gina had described before.

"Don't move, Jack the Ripper, you have nowhere to run! Put your hands up!"

The sheriff who had been at the scene where Baosheng Lidou was shot raised his pistol and spoke loudly.

"Idiot, don't you know that this area is guarded by our brave Scotland Yard police officers?!"

The cloaked man turned his head and looked at the newcomer in surprise and doubt.

However, this slight turn of his head was enough for people to see clearly what he was holding in his hand——

A bloody knife.

"you……"

boom!
A bullet pierced the air and hit the edge of the cloaked man's mask.

The powerful impact tore the hood off, causing the half-covered mask to fall off.

The new chief commissioner of police at Scotland Yard put down his gun and said coldly.

"Former trainee prosecutor Asougi Yizhen, you are suspected of multiple vicious murders. Do you still want to fight back?"

"Humph, he could even shoot and kill his former friend, Hosho Reito, without mercy..."

"Your level of brutality is beyond the police station's expectations!"

Yasou Yoshikazuma stared at the police chief, a man he had never seen before.

He doesn't even need to think, he can realize it even if he has no brain at all.

How could the chief of police be the first to appear at the scene of the crime?
The other party is definitely related to Professor James Moriarty, and may even be one of the professor's partners!

"If you try to make any other unnecessary movements now, other police officers will shoot without hesitation."

"Yasougi Ichima, it's time to surrender."

Director Yan Tu said indifferently.

thump.

The sharp knife fell to the ground, and the inscription "Jake" could be vaguely seen on it.

Under the watchful eyes of Gina Lestrade, Asougi Yizhen was urgently arrested by the Scotland Yard Police Department.

Originally, as a trainee prosecutor who had always been following prosecutor Baroque Benzieks, Prosecutor Benzieks should have dealt with the matter of Yoshikazu Aso being arrested as Jack the Ripper as soon as possible.

However... Baroque Bangzix no longer has the authority to handle this matter. Due to the recurrence of the [Hound of Baswick] incident, he has been suspended for investigation under pressure from a certain party.

The night in old London, which was already too dark, completely entered the "deep night" at this moment.

--------

"…It seems to be getting a little darker, and the illumination of the lights has decreased."

The Death Student pushed up his plain glasses.

Although he didn't know what happened, he knew very well that this was most likely the plot being pushed forward by someone.

"It seems I have to find Prosecutor Bangzix quickly."
