Chapter 571 Are you satisfied?
"Why are you looking at me like that...?"
Naruhodō Ryunosuke turned around and saw the looks of the three little ones beside him, and he said with some surprise.
Why do you look like you heard something incredible? What just happened?
However, Naruhodō shook his head, not caring about these things, and asked seriously.
"I know you said you had experience in court trials before, but I want to confirm it again..."
"Do you know how to question witnesses and get effective information from them?"
The members of the Junior Detective League looked at each other, then nodded in unison without hesitation.
These basic common sense of court trials had already been taught to them by Genmizu during the class trial in Teitan Elementary School, so there was no need for Naruhodō Ryunosuke to waste his time thinking about it and teach it again.
Recalling what Lawyer Yuan had taught him, Kojima Genta frowned and scratched the back of his head.
"Well, Uncle Xiang Yuan told us how to conduct the [inquiry]..."
Seeing the little fat boy's appearance, Naruhodo felt that the future was bleak.
It seems that he can't count on the members of the Junior Detective League to help this time, so he has to do it alone.
But at this moment, Mitsuhiko said seriously.
"Didn't Uncle Xiang Yuan tell us? If we can't find any clues, we should go through all the testimonies from beginning to end. That way, we will definitely be able to get useful information!"
Naruhodō raised his eyebrows, feeling that this action gave him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
No, it can't be said to be a sense of déjà vu. This is what he usually does when conducting inquiries.
Although I don’t know who the Uncle Xiang Yuan these kids are talking about is, since his style of doing things is similar to his, he must be the kind of lawyer who fights for the truth of the case.
It would be great if we could meet in person, but I don’t know if I’ll have that chance.
After seeing that the people in the defense seat had finished their discussion, Karma Hao spoke coldly.
"It seems that you have already discussed how you should leave the Inquisition if you lose next?"
"Now, should we enter the [questioning phase], or just admit defeat?"
This kind of thing...there is no need to ask any more questions.
Naruhodō Ryunosuke tapped his hand on the table, making a dull sound, and spoke without hesitation.
"Your Excellency the Presiding Judge, the defense requests to enter the [Interrogation Phase], and we will interrogate Director Yan Tu!"
The presiding judge nodded without hesitation, raised the gavel, and then lowered it.
thump.
The knocking sound of the gavel against the table made the members of the Junior Detective Team become serious. They thought carefully about the testimonies that Director Yan Tu had given before, and how to obtain effective information from them.
"The defense's request is reasonable and logical, and this court has no reason to refuse it. So, please invite the three defense lawyers and the paralegal Naruhodō Ryunosuke to enter the questioning phase and start questioning!"
"...Alas, sometimes it is really frustrating, to see someone trying to hold on like this."
Juror number one, Yaluwuren, pushed up his glasses and sneered meaningfully.
The jurors in old London were not clerks or mere spectators; they had special powers.
That is, in the current trial, if all jurors agree that the defendant is guilty, then the trial can be forcibly ended and the presiding judge can directly sentence the defendant guilty. Unless the lawyer can persuade the jury members to revise their previous opinions, the trial can continue.
However, Naruhodō Ryunosuke could never do this, at least not in this court.
because……
"Let me see how hard you can struggle, Naruhodō Ryunosuke."
Yaluwuren calmly watched the people in the defense seat who were about to begin the questioning phase.
Although the Professor Moriarty in this world is not the same person as the one he knows, because he has no bottom line, Professor Moriarty is several times more dangerous than the one he knows.
Professor Moriarty, the Napoleon of crime, has everything ready from the beginning, just like a jury.
Currently, all four jurors in the courtroom were bribed by Professor Moriarty. In other words, as long as Yaluwu wanted, the trial would be forcibly terminated in an instant and the defendant would be found guilty.
Therefore, in his eyes, no matter how Naruhodō Ryunosuke struggled, he would ultimately not be able to escape the fate of failure.
[Inquiry starts]
As soon as the questioning stage began, Yuantai shouted without hesitation.
"Grandpa Yan Tu, you said [In order to catch Jack the Ripper, the guys from Scotland Yard patrolled everywhere with all their might], why is that?"
…This question is so obvious, is it really necessary to ask?
Yan Tu Haici's gaze narrowed slightly, and his attention shifted from Naruhodō Ryunosuke to the members of the Junior Detective League. He felt a little surprised. This kind of approach of taking a shot without getting anything in hand was the real Ayazato-ryu.
Regardless of whether the questioning can obtain valid testimony, all testimonies must be questioned.
He shook his head, then smiled and replied.
"This is of course because Jack the Ripper had already committed two brutal murders, which even made headlines in newspapers and made many citizens afraid to go out at night."
"Because Scotland Yard has not caught Jack the Ripper, its reputation has declined. If its reputation declines too much... everyone's salary evaluation will be in trouble."
"Haha, whether it's for your own salary assessment or for justice, you should work hard, right?"
This answer is quite reasonable.
Naruhodō pinched his chin and nodded slightly.
Most professionals will work harder if it involves their salary, let alone such a serious job as a police officer in Scotland Yard.
He asked following Yuantai's question.
"Then, Chief Inspector, may I ask why you were on patrol with those Scotland Yard officers? Was it just because you got excited? ... Were you like this in the days before today?"
When they were inside the detention center, Ya Shuangyi once mentioned that Director Yan Tu arrived at the scene too quickly and led the way, which made people wonder whether Director Yan Tu was an accomplice of Professor Moriarty.
Now that Naruhodō Ryunosuke asked this question in public, he naturally hoped to get an answer.
Director Yan Tu clapped his hands and gave this answer with a smile.
"Haha, to be honest, I really haven't done this before."
"As for why I did this today, firstly, I was inspired by the attitude of those guys, and secondly, because two murders happened tonight, and I don't want other innocent people to die."
"Are you satisfied with this answer, Attorney Naruhodō?"
