People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 597: Laughing at the Defense Lawyer's Lack of Stratagem and Wisdom

The questioning phase...begins.

Yaluwuren folded his hands over his elbows, with a somewhat puzzled look on his face.

Because he had previously estimated that Naruhodō Ryunosuke might act separately from his legal assistant, he had Moriarty's right-hand men make arrangements for this in advance.

If Naruhodō's legal assistant had not been stopped at St. Andrew's Hospital, he would have been stopped again near the courtroom. As for the current situation... he should have been stopped temporarily near the courtroom.

Soon, the first female legal assistant to this legendary lawyer who only exists in history will appear.

"... Naruhodō Ryuichi, I told you that you will lose miserably this time, and I wasn't just saying that."

This has been emphasized three or four times and has no deterrent effect.

Naruhodō Ryuichi didn't even bother to pay attention, and just stared at Yan Tu Haici who was at the testimony stand.

Judging from his impression of Yan Tu Haici, since Yan Tu Haici did not give up his right to speak this time.

Well, according to the special circumstances of the British Inquisition, the other party was very likely to interrupt and make amends for Gina Lestrade when the ancestor was questioning her.

In other words, although Naruhodō Ryunosuke's opponent seems to be his friend, he is actually a strict disciple.

"However, if it were the ancestor, he wouldn't necessarily suffer a loss when facing Yan Tu Hai Ci."

The legendary lawyer was still very confident in his ancestors, he murmured in a low voice.

At this time, Naruhodō Ryunosuke had already started the questioning stage.

[Inquiry starts]

"Ms. Gina, please describe your third testimony in detail!"

Wright said loudly.

"You said you met a person running over in a hurry. She said she saw a dead body. That was the person who called the police and the person associated with this case. What did she look like? Any characteristics?"

...Who would remember such things? The passerby took the statement and left.

Gina Lestrade's face immediately showed some displeasure.

She had just assured Director Yan that her preparations were complete, but as soon as the questioning phase began, Naruhodo asked her a question she didn't have an answer to.

In this case, wouldn't her salary assessment be a big challenge? !
However, despite being unhappy, Miss Gina still replied.

"I don't remember this kind of thing clearly because I was not the police officer responsible for taking the statement from that lady, and she left right after taking the statement. I only glanced at her when she first called the police."

"After that, I paid attention to Baosheng Reito's physical condition, and then I followed him to the hospital."

"As for the subsequent situation at the crime scene... we need to ask the police chief in charge at the time, right?"

In response to Gina's answer, Yan Tuhaici added some testimony.

"Narihodō-kun, let me fill in the blanks for what Gina-chan just overlooked."

"According to the description and transcript of the police captain who led the team at the time, the young lady was wearing a blue long skirt and a black coat. She had a pretty face... Moreover, she did not approach the crime scene after she arrived."

"It is said that he watched from a distance because he was afraid of the appearance of the corpse, and left after taking the statement."

"I later investigated the lady's information and was able to confirm that she had nothing to do with the case. She just happened to be passing by."

"You said it's not true? How much information did you investigate about that lady to be so sure?"

The barrister caught the point and asked, "Since Director Yan claims to have investigated the relevant information, please show evidence to prove that the man has nothing to do with the case. Otherwise, can't we rule out the possibility that the original shooter was this eyewitness?!"

That's right, if the shooter shot and seriously injured Baosheng Reito and then hid the gun and reported the case to the police.

In this case, the shooter may be cleared as a suspect by the police because they are in the dark.

However, Yan Tu Haici had already anticipated this.

The new commissioner of Scotland Yard police clapped his hands and laughed, as if he was amused.

This caused several question marks to appear above the presiding judge's bald head with a silver wig.

"???"

The old man with a wig sitting in the main seat couldn't help but ask.

"Director Yan Tu, why are you laughing in the courtroom?"

"Hahahaha, I'm not laughing at anything else. I'm laughing at the defense lawyer who is so clueless and stupid and is just looking for trouble!"

Yan Tu Haici said this, adjusted his red glasses and explained with a smile.

"According to the description of the police officers on the scene, the person who reported the case did not smell of gunpowder. This is one reason."

"No gun was found on her, and the police officers who stayed to investigate the scene did not find a gun either. That's the second reason."

"Based on Officer Gina's description, the shooter can be determined to be Jack the Ripper himself, a man, and the reporter is a genuine woman, so the gender identity has ruled out the possibility of murder. This is the third point."

"Finally, Jack the Ripper has always acted alone, whether it was scouting locations or killing people..."

"So, if the defense lawyer says that the witness was arranged by someone, then he must first provide evidence that can prove this conjecture. However, the defense may not be able to produce this evidence at all, right?"

...Evidence? There is absolutely none...otherwise, I wouldn't be so passive.

Naruhodō Ryunosuke didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Indeed, if he and Alice had not deduced in the logic theater that Jack the Ripper was related to Professor Moriarty, he would not have guessed that Jack the Ripper had such a powerful force behind him.

And his previous attempt to prove the relationship between Jack the Ripper and Professor Moriarty had been directly rejected.

Unless new evidence is found, reopening the topic will only give Prosecutor Hao a handle and lead to him being expelled from the courtroom at once, leaving the three children nearby to bear the pressure alone and lose the game.

The barrister then turned to the fourth statement.

"...If that's the case, then the defense asks Ms. Gina to elaborate on her fourth statement. May I ask what the specific circumstances of the location of the body are?"

"Are there any other places or people worth noting nearby? Is it just Hosou Reito?"

This question is definitely a knowing question.

Because Naruhodō Ryunosuke knew clearly that there was at least one Haibara Ai present at that time.

It's just that Haibara Ai, as a new member of the Junior Detective Team, was engulfed by the bomb while trying to save Alice...

"That's not the case. There were two children at the crime scene."

Gina Lestrade said.
