Chapter 533 Phoenix Wright 1
Chapter 533 Phoenix Wright
“…Lawyer Naruhodō? Are you Naruhodō Ryunosuke…?”
Conan, who arrived late, looked at the guy in front of him who looked like a homeless man with some suspicion.
How should I put it? Suspicious, very suspicious. Just judging by his temperament, he doesn't seem like someone who would abide by the law.
Although he didn't know what Naruhodō Ryunosuke looked like, he most likely wouldn't be dressed as a homeless person.
"Well... maybe. Anyway, I am Naruhodō's lawyer who can help you for now. Is that enough?"
Attorney Naruhodō did not give a direct yes or no answer, but instead skirted around the topic in an ambiguous manner.
This also made the Death God Elementary School Student feel even more suspicious of this guy.
However, Conan is not worried that Lawyer Naruhodō will be the "new lawyer" that Reito Hoshino mentioned.
Because this top gamer, based on his own intelligence and experience, believed that the new lawyer needed to be found.
In other words, the villain lawyer who replaces Phoenix Wright should not be the type who shows up in the spotlight.
Therefore, he decided to listen to what lawyer Naruhodō said first and then make an evaluation based on its credibility.
Of course, there is a reason why Conan has this tendency to eat the sugar coating first, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, good or bad.
(Although my current body is just that of an ordinary elementary school student, if I had the equipment of a doctor...)
(Except for the fact that I can't fly, I seem to be no different from Superman.)
Conan sat on a chair in the coffee shop next to Xiaolan, and a somewhat complacent thought flashed through his mind.
Although, with Conan's current full outfit, hypnotic needle + voice changer + compressed football + special sneakers and other props.
If you don't encounter a particularly tough enemy, you can probably kill it easily on the first sight.
Not everyone can resist the hypnotic needle or crush a football with bare hands. Such people are totally abnormal!
"Haha, don't be so nervous. I won't lie to you... not yet."
Lawyer Naruhodō smiled, easing the slightly tense atmosphere after Conan and Haibara Ai arrived.
Since he brought Mei Guan to 221B Baker Street, he must have some understanding of the current situation in London.
Professor Moriarty's style of doing things is somewhat familiar, and he acts very quickly.
For the time being, even he couldn't be sure of Professor Moriarty's exact location.
But…if it’s Alice Watson, he’s not without a clue.
"Detective Sherlock Holmes, who once worked with Hart, the chief judge of London, is missing, and so is Dr. Baosheng..."
"…Dr. Baosheng is dead. He was shot in the hospital by the Professor's men with a pistol."
Conan interrupted lawyer Naruhodō directly and dropped a new bombshell.
"..."
Lawyer Naruhodō did not speak immediately. He turned his head and looked out the window thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about something.
Or maybe the opponent is simply in a daze, or using the bluffing skill that has been ingrained into his bones.
For some reason, Conan tends to believe his third judgment.
...Perhaps it's because bluffing is a special skill that every great lawyer is good at using?
"Wasn't Dr. Baosheng shot dead in that alley?"
Mao Lilan asked in confusion.
This made Conan hesitate to speak, and finally he bypassed [Hat-kun] and the cloaked Haibara Ai to add his words.
"The gunshot in the alley only seriously injured Uncle Baosheng. He was shot again after he was sent to the hospital."
"Before leaving, Uncle Baosheng told us about the situation here, and that's how we found this place."
"As for the hospital where the crime scene took place...it was St. Antel's Hospital."...St. Antel's, is that the hospital where Sherlock Holmes was sent after being shot?
Lawyer Naruhodō held out a finger and gently placed it on the center of his forehead.
At this moment, all the information he knew seemed to turn into a blue ocean.
As the only deep diver, he used this information to quickly come up with a reasonable route.
——————One of the skills of a lawyer is [deep thinking].
This is a skill that a young and inexperienced person has not yet learned.
He felt that there was a high probability that the young man would not have the opportunity to realize this deep thinking technique.
(Hosho Reito, the only special person who does not exist in the ancestor's memory notebook... is he a player?)
(The current situation has changed considerably from the memories of the ancestors.)
(Even if we ask our ancestors to come and help, they will probably be overwhelmed by the endless stream of things that happen.)
The memoirs left by his ancestor Naruhodō Ryunosuke flashed quickly through Naruhodō Ryuichi's mind.
There are many discrepancies between that memoir and what we know about London today, but that's not surprising.
After all, this is a game world, and he only appears as a helper for the game players.
(Alice Watson, the real author who fictionalized the Sherlock Holmes stories.)
(A medical doctor who is only ten years old, if you want to find her...)
(Perhaps you can quickly draw a conclusion by just thinking about Professor Moriarty's original identity.)
"...I think Alice Watson is probably at [that university] now."
Naruhodō Ryuichi straightened his face, still looking a bit unserious.
"If it's Miss Watson, maybe she can find some clues about the professor."
"As for the professor's identity...I guess he's a professor of judicial studies at a certain university?"
...Shouldn't he be a professor of mathematics?
Conan's eyes showed some confusion. He didn't understand why Professor Moriarty might be a professor of justice.
Because in his impression, James Moriarty's career as a professor was famous for mathematics.
Among them, Moriarty's "Asteroid Mechanics" shocked the academic world and even Sherlock Holmes praised it.
How come in this worldview, Professor Moriarty becomes a professor of jurisprudence?
Although he didn't understand, Conan nodded and decided to investigate in this direction.
After all, there are two professors in this world. It is not impossible that Moriarty stopped studying mathematics and switched to law.
"By the way, Mr. Naruhodō, as a lawyer, I assume you always carry your ID with you, right?"
Finally, the Shinigami elementary school student asked.
"Can you show me...your lawyer's medal?"
"...Lawyer's Medal...? It seems that you have already noticed it."
Naruhodō Ryuichi was not surprised. He knew very well that for Conan, who was familiar with the situation at the end of the 19th century...
The other party will surely know that lawyers of this era do not use lawyer medals, but lawyer armbands.
Conan's words were almost equivalent to revealing the truth and wanting to find out his identity.
“…Not yet.”
He stood up and spoke calmly.
"You will see it when you find my old friend."
