People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 552 Meeting with Yasou Yoshikazu
——————Old London, Detention House——-———

——————Time, late night——————

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Yashuang Yiyi was leaning against the wall.

He took off the half-covered mask on his face and stared at the mask for a long time.

"Yashuangyi! What happened? Why were you arrested?!"

A familiar voice that had not been heard for a long time sounded, and Yashuang Yiyi subconsciously turned his head to look outside the cell door.

The person who came was his partner, who had helped him find the truth of the case many times before...

Currently the most famous and powerful defense lawyer in the country, Naruhodō Ryunosuke.

However, there was no joy on Yashuang Yiyi's face, but rather an extremely serious expression.

He would rather Phoenix Wright not be involved in this special incident because it was too dangerous.

Professor Moriarty is different from the enemies they have faced together in the past. He does not follow any rules.

"...Partner, I didn't expect that we would meet again under such circumstances. It's surprising."

As Yoshikazu Aso said this, his eyes fell on the Demon Hunting Sword on Naruhodō's waist.

This sword was once his famous sword, and when they parted, he entrusted it to Naruhodō.

The Demon Hunting Sword, as the name suggests, means a sword for hunting monsters and killing all monsters.

The handle of this famous sword once contained the final reversal message left by his father before his death...

He didn't expect that he would have the chance to see this demon hunting knife again at this time.

"Originally I was the defense lawyer and you were the suspect, but now it's the other way around."

"However, please go back now. This defense...is unlikely to succeed."

This would not cause Naruhodō Ryunosuke to waver in the slightest.

The legendary defense attorney grabbed the Demon Hunting Knife at his waist, raised it, and pointed it at Asougi Ichima.

he shouted.

"Nothing is impossible! I believe that Yashuangyi would not do such a thing! Since you would not do such a thing, it means that you must have been wronged!"

"Yasougi, leave it to me. At this time... you just need to trust me! The sharpness of [Demon Hunting] can kill all monsters, right?!"

Naruhodō's attitude was extremely firm, and this scene felt familiar to Ran Mouri.

She had once seen Xiang Yuanguang talking with his clients, and the legendary lawyer, who was already famous in Tokyo, would make the same decisive statements with unquestionable confidence.

Perhaps this legendary lawyer who also wields a demon-hunting knife and possesses the same awareness may not be inferior to the legendary lawyer she is familiar with in his performance in the courtroom!
"…That's right, buddy."

Asougi was silent. He raised his head and looked at Naruhodō Ryunosuke with an extremely firm gaze, as if he could sense the other's unwavering will and final awakening.

"Well then, I'll leave it to you this time, Naruhodo!"

The glances were like swords, crossing each other in the air, and finally the contract between the lawyer and the client was finalized.

From this moment on, Jack the Ripper's great reversal truly began.

--------

In the detention room, Asougi Ichima had learned from Naruhodō Ryunosuke that the real defense lawyers were these three teenagers, and he was appearing in court as a lawyer's assistant. Although he was a little surprised, he had already anticipated the absurdity of the world's court, so he did not dwell on these insignificant things, but talked about what he knew.

【————Testimony begins————】

"Jack the Ripper was a subordinate trained by Professor Moriarty. It is said that he had a bad relationship with Professor Moriarty. I have been investigating for a long time but have not seen Jack the Ripper."

"It was not until tonight that Professor Moriarty told me that Jack the Ripper had been attacked by unknown persons and asked me to go over to help. I think this is a good opportunity to find out the true identity of Jack the Ripper..."

"When I arrived at the scene, all I saw was the body of the deceased and the knife that had fallen next to the body. I found an inscription on the blade of the knife, so I picked it up and checked it."

"And just at this moment, I heard footsteps. The new police chief arrived with his men and arrested me as Jack the Ripper. They also accused me of having killed Dr. Hosho Reito not long ago."

"My friend, the witness who accused me of killing Dr. Baosheng was none other than Miss Gina. She personally witnessed the scene where I shot and killed Baosheng Reito."

"Perhaps the breakthrough in this case is to start the investigation from the death of Dr. Baosheng."

【————End of testimony————】

Although he had already learned from Gina that Hosou Reito had been shot, Naruhodō Ryunosuke still found it difficult to accept when he heard it again from Asogi Yishin.

Although Hosho Reito was arrogant and radical, his ability was unquestionable. He was able to find the truth about the Baswick Hound incident ten years ago in a short period of time and find an opportunity to send the Supreme Judge to prison...

Such a person was shot to death so easily, without even leaving any trace of his death!
"…Lord Baosheng, how could it be…"

Shousado whispered.

At this time, the members of the Junior Detective Team remembered the teachings of Yuan Guang when they were class judges.

"At this time, we should use [Ask]...right?"

"Uncle Xiang Yuan seemed to have said so at the beginning, but where should we ask?"

"Stupid, didn't Uncle Xiang Yuan tell you? If you don't know what to ask, then just ask everything!"

Yuan Tai displayed his amazing wisdom.

"Wouldn't it be enough to just ask all the questions and get all the information that might be useful?!"

This left Mitsuhiko and Ayumi speechless.

This is indeed a simple and crude way to obtain information, but it sounds a bit silly.

Regardless of the other two people's thoughts, Yuantai immediately turned around and asked loudly.

"Uncle Ya Shuangyi, since you have never seen Jack the Ripper, how do you know that Jack the Ripper is Professor Moriarty's subordinate? And how do you know that they are not on good terms?"

"Could it be that Jack the Ripper once fought with Professor Moriarty? But if there was a fight, you would have helped, right? Then how come you have never seen Jack the Ripper?"

This kind of in-depth questioning made Naruhodō, Shousado, and Asouyoshi feel a sense of déjà vu.

This is a very similar way of asking questions... I really don't know who taught these kids...

Yasou Yiyi shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts from his mind. He folded his elbows and answered seriously.

"Because, when Jack the Ripper started killing people, one of his men found Professor Moriarty. I got this information from Professor Moriarty at that time."

"However, it now seems that the relationship between Jack the Ripper and Professor Moriarty is probably not that of a subordinate and a superior, but more like a [cooperative] relationship, and it is far from the so-called [discord]."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been tricked by Moriarty into coming here to help Jack the Ripper [take the blame]!"
