Whether it was Hunter Hau, Yan Tu Haici, or him, they all knew that the so-called second murder case had nothing to do with Jack the Ripper's murders.
This is just a trap, a snare, to give Demon Hunter a legitimate reason to use the Demon Hunter style of play.
The so-called demon hunting style is a tactic in which prosecutors relentlessly pursue defense lawyers, constantly using their advantages to force lawyers to ignore or give up certain inquiries and opportunities to present evidence.
Demon Hunter was able to use this set of skills to perfection in the former Inquisition because of his extensive experience.
Although his reputation is not good, his decades of undefeated record are there. Even the chief judge of Tokyo has to consider Karma's words again and again, or even blindly follow them, which makes Karma difficult to confront in the court.
But it was different in the Old London Court. Karma was just a new prosecutor temporarily assigned to the Procuratorate by Professor Moriarty. It could be said that he had almost no advantage in the Old London Court.
Moreover, given Demon Hunter's arrogant attitude, it was impossible for him to use other means to please the Chief Judge and improve his status in the eyes of the Chief Judge. Therefore, he adopted another method.
Since it is impossible to improve the status and voice of prosecutors, then we should just lower the status and voice of lawyers.
Just like a balance, continuously adding to your own chips can make the balance tip to your side. While keeping your own chips still, you can reduce the other party's chips and achieve the same effect.
"...The murders of the gypsies...are really unrelated...?"
At this moment, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Ryunosuke Naruhodō in the defense seat.
He only took a glance at the case information and immediately came to this conclusion. The reason was simple: there was something wrong with the location where the gypsies were killed.
Although he had not lived in Old London for a long time, he was not so unfamiliar with the administrative divisions here.
The hospital where Hosou Reito was murdered and the alley where Asou Yoshikazu was caught by the police are in the same area, so if Asou Yoshikazu is the murderer, he had enough time to travel back and forth to commit the crime.
But the location of the gypsy murders was different. It was a district far away from the edge of old London. If the real murderer went there to kill the gypsies after killing Hosho Reito, it would be impossible for him to turn back and kill people!
Crash——-——
Naruhodō placed the case information on the table, and his eyes quickly scanned the words on it, over and over again.
This might be a trap, but even if it is a trap, there should be ways to exploit it.
Just as he suspected at the beginning, why were the gypsies shot at such a delicate time, neither early nor late, it was simply an excuse for Yan Tuhaici to lead the investigation.
“…Damn it, what on earth is the problem…?”
Seeing this scene, Demon Hunter couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
If this were a court in Tokyo, he would definitely yell at these guys and ask the presiding judge to kick these kids who don't even meet the qualifications to be lawyers out of the courtroom.
Unfortunately, this is the old London Court. He can be arrogant and bad, but he cannot order the presiding judge to do anything.
Otherwise, it wouldn't just be the presiding judge's evaluation of Naruhodō Ryunosuke that would decline. I'm afraid even the evaluation of the new prosecutor would also drop to the bottom.
"I have never heard of this place. What is this place?"
Yuantai said somewhat puzzledly, scratching his head, looking as if he had no idea of the situation at all.
However, it is not Yuan Tai's fault that he was confused. In fact, if many people in modern society were to come here, they would probably be confused as well. The reason is that the regional planning of old London in the late 19th century...
How many people could know this clearly? Besides, Phoenix Wright didn't even have a map with him!
"I don't know, but this must be the conspiracy of the evil Professor Moriarty!"
Mitsuhiko, who was lying on the other side, said angrily.
"To deal with the evil Moriarty, we have to beat up a blue superhero like Uncle Gen!"
"I've seen this mentioned in Kamen Ultraman. The villain of this evil organization will definitely let his men commit crimes everywhere, and then be defeated by the righteous heroes! We will definitely defeat Professor Moriarty in this way!"
Such words seemed very frivolous, especially inside a serious courtroom.
The presiding judge couldn't help but shake his head. He could give the defense some more time to adapt, but if these children still treated the trial with this attitude, then he would also warn the defense about their behavior.
In fact, allowing children to appear in court as lawyers is already adding a bit of disgrace to the old London court. If the children are allowed to speak nonsense, the consequences will be disastrous!
thump.
The judge lowered the gavel and spoke.
"Assistant Naruhodō, may I ask if you have obtained any new clues or information from within this case?"
"If not, I hope you will stop wasting the court's time and continue your questioning phase, or simply give up your defense and admit that the defendant Yashuang Yiyi is indeed guilty!"
…The presiding judge began to get impatient.
Karma Hao tapped his elbow lightly with his fingers, and a dangerous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
From the beginning till now, everything was in their plan. So, next, he would start using the Demon Hunting Style to defeat Naruhodō Ryunosuke completely like a whirlwind.
But at this moment, Naruhodō Ryunosuke suddenly raised his head and spoke loudly.
"Your Excellency, the defense has indeed obtained useful information from this evidence!"
This was not a bluff. Mitsuhiko's words just now reminded him, and he suddenly realized Professor Moriarty's identity - he was the Napoleon of the criminal world and the tyrant of the underworld!
How could such a person not have any subordinates to help him?
That's the problem!
Chapter 574 Gypsy Identity
"Your Excellency, the defense has indeed obtained useful information from this evidence!"
Naruhodō Ryunosuke used both hands to slap the table with both palms at the same time.
thump.
The dull sound attracted everyone's attention and made Karma Go frown. He didn't know what new information Naruhodō Ryunosuke had obtained from this case information which was completely distracting.
However, based on his understanding of Naruhodō Ryuichi, and if he infers the style of Naruhodō Ryuichi's ancestor Naruhodō Ryunosuke, then perhaps this is just a bluff?
The prosecutor tapped his fingers lightly on his elbow as he debated whether or not to use a deterrent force at this moment.
But if Naruhodō Ryunosuke really got some new information from it, perhaps he would lose some of the chips on the scale, which would be a huge loss that is difficult to make up for.
After all, the identities of prosecutors and lawyers are different, and the difficulty of gaining the trust of the presiding judge is also different.
"… Let's be a little more cautious and listen to what this guy has to say."
Demon Hunter Hao whispered in his heart but did not speak rashly to intimidate.
Yan Tuhaici, who was standing behind the witness stand, reached out and pinched his red glasses. He lifted them subconsciously, then pinched the frame of the glasses and asked with a somewhat surprised smile.
"Oh, is that so? So, Naruhodo, what new information did you get?"
At this moment, Naruhodo pointed at Yan Tu Haici who was standing at the witness stand and spoke loudly.
"The murder of the gypsies is indeed related to the Jack the Ripper case! It is impossible for two murders to happen on the same night, and the time difference is less than half an hour!"
…This is sheer nonsense.
Yan Tuhaici's smile was a little hard to maintain, so he simply restrained his smile and put on a calm look.
Although it feels like this Naruhodō Ryuichi's ancestor is most likely bluffing, but since he said so, there won't be any problem in seeing what he has to say if we are sure of winning.
"Well, Naruhodō-kun, you should have other evidence, right? Don't keep me in suspense. I want to hear your new ideas, which can also make up for the shortcomings of my previous investigation!"
However, Yan Tuhaici's attitude is one thing, and the presiding judge's attitude is another.
The presiding judge frowned, lowered the gavel, and then asked.
"Paralegh Naruhodō, it's a bit far-fetched to think that the murder of the gypsies is related to this case just because of this. This is really unacceptable!"
"There are all kinds of time-related coincidences in the world, and it's not impossible that something like this happened by chance!"
"Are you really able to provide further reasoning, arguments or evidence for your point of view like Director Yan Tu? If not, then this court will have to warn you!"
Faced with the intimidation of the presiding judge, Naruhodō Ryunosuke was not at all panicked. He pinched his chin, looked thoughtful, turned his head to glance at Asou Yoshikazuma in the dock, and then spoke affirmatively.
"Mr. Presiding Judge, Director Yan Tu, I believe that the connection between these two incidents is indeed related to time, but it is not just a matter of time."
"Because the identity of this deceased gypsy is very special. He is not a normal citizen."
...Special identity? Not a normal citizen? How special can it be?
The presiding judge was a little surprised. He asked the bailiff next to him to fetch the case information backup prepared by Director Yan Tu. He then took out the papers inside and flipped through them.
However, even the chief judge of Old London could not see anything with just a cursory glance. So, he used his amazing wisdom as a chief judge——————
Even the kids in the Junior Detective League could easily see that the Judge was weak inside.
Yuantai said in a low voice even more unhappily.
"What? Didn't the presiding judge even read the case information carefully?"
"Humph, pretending to know when you don't, adults like this are the most annoying!"
Mitsuhiko, who was standing next to him, also wanted to curse a few words, but then he thought again, this seemed to be the presiding judge's territory, so he took back his words and just hesitated.
Ayumi, who was the most well-mannered among the three, spoke in a low voice.
"Yuanta, don't say such things here. If the silver-haired old man hears it, he will be angry again and we might be kicked out of the court!"
“…What? I’m Kojima Genta, a junior lawyer who was taught by a senior lawyer…”
Yuan Tai muttered softly.
"This kind of small matter is nothing...Okay, then I won't say anything for now."
Naruhodō Ryunosuke was used to the presiding judge's behavior of pretending to know everything. He held up the case information in his hand as if it was nothing strange, then patted the paper and spoke seriously.
