Chapter 565 The trial is about to begin
Chapter 565 The trial is about to begin
[The gunman who shot and killed Reito Hosho was a gang leader].
[The purpose of the gangster boss shooting Reito Hosho was to exonerate Jack the Ripper].
Although the reasoning had yielded the answer, the defense lacked evidence to prove Moriarty was the murderer.
In other words, we must at least get evidence that the hospital is controlled by Moriarty.
And judging from the fact that Gina Lestrade was forbidden by Director Yan Tu to contact them, it seems that Director Yan Tu is not on the side of the defense. In other words, it will be difficult to get help from the police this time.
Naruhodō is thinking about the next direction of investigation.
In addition to this, there is the side where Yashuangyi was captured as Jack the Ripper.
Although there were no fingerprints of Ya Shuangyi on the knife, it does not mean that Ya Shuangyi did not kill people with a knife. The reason is very simple, because Ya Shuangyi had gloves on his clothes.
Regardless of whether Ya Shuangyi was the one who killed people with the knife, there would be no possibility of his fingerprints on the handle of Jack the Ripper's knife.
Similarly, there would be no fingerprints of the real Jack the Ripper on it, which means that it would be difficult to obtain evidence on the knife.
The defense wants to prove that Ya Shuangyi is innocent, so perhaps they need to buy time by investigating his motive, or at least buy time to investigate the situation inside the hospital ward...
"... Naruhodō-kun, if you are the attorney's assistant this time, then Shoushasha won't be able to go to court with you to defend the case, right? Then why not just let Shoushasha go with me!"
Alice's voice sounded at this time, and she said with a smile.
"Shou Shasha and I will go to the hospital together. As for the defense in the court, I'll leave it to you guys. You have to hold on until we can investigate and collect evidence!"
"…But the police officers from Scotland Yard will not cooperate with the investigation at all. In this case, even if we make progress, we can't present it as evidence without police certification, right?"
Naruhodō sighed, but what he didn't expect was——
This problem is not a problem at all for Alice Watson.
Unlike other international student lawyers from distant countries, Alice is not only a local, but also has a very good relationship with the legendary former Scotland Yard detective, Inspector Gregson, who has died in the line of duty.
The reason... is because she has a close relationship with the professor's case more than ten years ago.
In the case of the professor, also known as the Hound of the Baskervilles incident, the professor who let the dog kill people was Klimt Vanziks, the biological father of Alice Watson who had never met.
At that time, Klimt Benziks was a legendary and fair prosecutor in old London. He had become the chief prosecutor of the procuratorate and had a bright future. He had helped countless people.
It was because of the deceased Prosecutor Klimt that Sheriff Gregson was so caring and close to Alice, even to the point of doting.
The police officers in Scotland Yard used to follow Inspector Gregson in handling cases, and they had great respect for him, even now that he had passed away...
They wouldn't refuse Alice Watson's request either.
"Don't worry, Naruhodō-kun. We will be back safe and sound!"
At the door of Scotland Yard police station, Alice waved goodbye to Naruhodō with a smile.
Standing next to her was not only Naruhodō's legal assistant Susato, but also Mao Lilan.
As a girl with high combat power, Mao Lilan is determined to do her best to complete the cocoon game.
Although she may not be able to help with reasoning, when it comes to physical matters, as a local champion-level fighter, she is still somewhat confident.
This time they went to the hospital to investigate Reito Hosou's ward. If things went as expected, they would probably be attacked by Professor Moriarty's men, so she would feel more at ease going along.
"Ah... I know, Miss Alice, be careful on the road." Naruhodō Ryunosuke nodded, and he also waved goodbye to Alice.
This time, no matter who it is, they are risking everything to try to change Yashuangyi's fate. If they say now that it is too dangerous and they should not go, it would be tantamount to giving up their own fighting spirit.
Although the once passionate man with spotted belt is now sitting in a detention center, his classmate Naruhodō Ryunosuke also has the same fighting spirit and determination.
“This time, I will definitely let Yashuangyi go free…!”
he whispered.
The celebrity boy who had been following the Junior Detective Team finally couldn't help but speak.
"What about me? What about me? So... I'll just stay in the police station at Scotland Yard forever?"
Takizawa Susumu was a little confused. The situation was far from hopeless, so why did everyone look so sad?
It was as if this separation was a farewell of life and death, and they would never see each other again... NPCs were understandable, but wasn't Mao Lilan a player? Why did her expression look similar to that of the NPCs?
"Well, I'll leave it to you to keep an eye on Scotland Yard!"
Yuan Tai casually reached out and patted Takizawa Shinya's shoulder. The great force made him subconsciously shrink his shoulders. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Yuan Tai stuffing a special-looking object into his arms.
Taking out the thing in his arms, Takizawa Jinye examined it with some confusion.
It looks like the silhouette of Sherlock Holmes is leaning against the capital letter [B].
"What is this? What is it for?"
The famous young man said with some confusion.
Yuantai answered seriously.
"This is the detective badge of our Junior Detective Team. With the detective badge, we can contact each other even if we are far away. I will lend you my detective badge first!"
"If there is any unexpected situation at Scotland Yard, remember to notify me immediately!"
...He really knows how to order people around, even though he is obviously the one from a famous family.
Takizawa Jin didn't say anything either, he just put the detective medal in his arms.
Although he didn't directly say that he knew, he didn't refuse either, which Yuantai thought was his consent.
So, the leader of the Junior Detective Team turned around, raised his hand, and spoke loudly.
"Alright! The Boy Detectives' new operation is about to begin! Let's defend like we did before!"
Mitsuhiko and Ayumi also cheered quietly at this time, saying that this didn't feel like going to a court, but more like going to an amusement park.
As if infected by the atmosphere of the Junior Detective League, Naruhodō Ryunosuke, who was originally in a heavy mood, now felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He looked down at Genta and was about to ask what happened "before."
But they saw a figure appear behind them. The figure was tall and carried an inexplicable sense of danger.
This is... Director Yan Tu.
"Hahahaha, seeing that you guys are all so excited, I feel relieved."
Director Yan Tu clapped his hands and appeared behind everyone with a smile.
"So, what are you waiting for? The trial of Asougi Ichima... is about to begin!"
