People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

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."

With the support of the presiding judge, Daniel Mueller calmed down and tightened his collar.

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?

A voice came from the detective medal held in Mitsuhiko's hand.

"General."

Everything went as Conan expected when the witness gave these testimonies.

He knew that the other party's lies could no longer be maintained and would be exposed at the first poke.

Naruhodō Ryunosuke nodded in agreement, even though he knew Conan couldn't see what was going on in the courtroom. "Ah, thank you for your help this time. Otherwise, by the time I figured out the details, I would have gotten the lowest impression from the presiding judge..."

The barrister closed his eyes, took a breath, and then slammed the table at the defense table again!

Boom!
Everyone fell silent, waiting for Naruhodō Ryunosuke to speak.

The barrister, who once teamed up to defeat the old London Chief Justice Hart, pointed at Daniel Muller again without hesitation and spoke loudly with great determination.

"Objection! Your testimony just now shows that you are completely lying!"

……What? !

Daniel Muller stood there somewhat at a loss, with a look of astonishment on his face.

How can we tell he is lying? Doesn't the presiding judge think what he said makes sense?
Is this lawyer just bluffing or talking nonsense? Or is there something else going on…?
Hearing this, the presiding judge was immediately surprised and asked quickly.

"Assistant Naruhodō, you said that the witness's testimony just now proves that he was completely lying before..."

"How did you know this? I didn't see anything wrong at all."

…By the time you see something wrong, Yasougi will probably have been executed.

Several dark lines appeared on Naruhodō's forehead.

However, he was not surprised.

This is because if the presiding judge of the court can be observant and can see through the lies of witnesses and find the truth of the case, then there will be no need for prosecutors and lawyers as components of the trial.

In his impression, the only judge who could do this was probably the one with the crescent-shaped black face...

Naruhodō Ryunosuke pointed at Asogi Kazuma in the dock and spoke to Daniel Mueller.

"You just said that Jack the Ripper was dressed in strange clothes, which made him stand out in the night, right?"

"Y-yeah, what's wrong?"

Daniel Mueller swallowed and asked.

"This white outfit will definitely be visible in the dark. Isn't it very conspicuous...?"

"That's the problem, Director Yan Tu. You told me before what Ya Shuangyi was wearing when he was arrested... Can you tell me again?"

The barrister looked at Yan Tu Hai Ci, who was silent for a moment before giving his answer.

"He was wearing a cape, a mask, and a knife... The cape was black, the inner garment was white, the half-covered mask was black, and the knife had the inscription JKAE and was stained with blood."

Then, Naruhodō Ryunosuke asked again.

"So, what do messengers wear?"

There is no need to ask this question; just take a look at Daniel Mueller, who is now on the witness stand.

However, no one would question Ryunosuke Hodō for asking useless questions at this time.

Because they also realized that there were loopholes in Daniel Mueller's testimony.

Hearing this, Yan Tu Haici closed his eyes and then said.

"When the witness came to us and called the police, he was wearing a white work uniform, a white hat, and a night light was hung on the front of his bicycle... This is the answer you want."

The situation...has reversed.

Naruhodō Ryunosuke finally made the final decision.

"Mr. Daniel Mueller, in your previous testimony you saw Jack the Ripper in his entire attire. So, did you see Jack the Ripper from the front or from the back?"

"From the front, if you saw Jack the Ripper, it means Jack the Ripper saw you."

"From behind, you have to be very close to see the white clothes and black mask under Jack the Ripper's cloak..."

"Please tell me, from which direction and where did you see all this?!"
