Chapter 572: Demon Hunter's Warning
Chapter 572: Demon Hunter's Warning
...Two murders occurred tonight? That's right.
Information about the two cases flashed in Naruhodō Ryunosuke's eyes.
One is the shooting of Dr. Hosou Reito, and the other is the murder of Jack the Ripper. It's not surprising that it turned out like this... Hmm? It seems a bit strange...?
Why are there two murders? When Chief Yan Tu was on duty, wasn't there only one murder that happened, the murder of Hosho Reito as described in [Gina's Reply]?
It sounded as if Director Yan Tu had known that two murders would occur tonight!
Without having time to think, Naruhodō slammed the table with a dull sound and asked loudly.
"Director Yan Tu, I would like you to give further testimony on what you just said!"
"You said that one of the reasons you went to the scene in person was because two murders occurred tonight. But didn't Jack the Ripper kill his third victim after you went to the scene in person?!"
"According to the description of Gina Lestrade, a police officer from Scotland Yard, you led the police team in person only after she returned to the police station and reported to you that Hosho Reito had been shot..."
"Could it be that another murder occurred during this period of time?!"
Hearing this, the presiding judge's eyes lit up as he noticed this special situation.
If Director Yan Tu did not make a slip of the tongue, doesn't this mean that he knew that two murders would occur tonight, so he went to the crime scene to arrest the people as soon as possible?
If the defense persists, this alone can make Yan Tu Hai Ci one of the suspects!
"Yes, just as you said, another murder occurred during this period of time."
Yan Tuhaici said with a smile without any concealment, and he reached out to adjust his glasses.
Then he clapped his hands again and spoke seriously.
"There was a gypsy who was shot dead in the dead of night in old London. The murderer has not yet been found, and I do not mention it specifically because I do not think it is relevant to this case."
"So, Naruhodō-kun, do you want to say that this case is related to this one and link them together? Or do you want to conduct further inquiries on this case?"
……Gypsy?
Naruhodō Ryunosuke was stunned.
He knew the Gypsies, a nomadic race with no fixed place to live and who were always mysterious and spooky.
Three months ago, while wandering the streets, he met a gypsy who liked fortune-telling.
However, Yan Tu Haici's words were just nonsense in Naruhodō Ryunosuke's eyes. Since new information points had appeared, he must of course seize the opportunity and grasp all the information points in one go!
But just when Naruhodō was about to continue his in-depth questioning, Karma Gou in the prosecutor's seat suddenly spoke.
Lao Deng's tone was still as arrogant as before, and he spoke as if threatening.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, Naruhodō Ryunosuke. The judge and I have a limit to how much we can tolerate you. If you waste too much time, you know what the final result will be!"
The implication of this sentence is undoubtedly to warn Naruhodō Ryunosuke not to ask about the second gypsy murder case, which Yan Tukai believed was unrelated to the current case.
However, as the saying goes, the more your opponent opposes something, the more you will do it.
Naruhodō Ryunosuke looked at the members of the Junior Detective League next to him, and after seeing that the three [lawyers] had no objection, he spoke loudly without hesitation.
"Even if that's the case, I'm still going to ask... Who knows if these murders that happened on the same night are really unrelated to Jack the Ripper?!"
"Wasn't Mr. Baosheng shot to death? The same situation as the gypsies were shot to death!" Such words made Karma Hao sneer. He swung his hand and snapped his fingers.
"Idiot, does being shot by a gun have to matter? Since you must do this... okay."
"I will let you finish asking about this irrelevant case, but if this case really has nothing to do with the current case... you should know how the presiding judge and I will treat you!"
Hearing what Karma Hao said, the chief judge couldn't help but blink his eyes.
Although he didn't know why, this new prosecutor seemed to be very familiar with him.
What does his attitude towards Naruhodō Ryunosuke have to do with you? How can they be linked?
Although he was complaining in his heart, the presiding judge wearing a silver wig did not say it directly.
On the one hand, it was to give face to Hunting Demon Hao, and on the other hand, he also somewhat agreed with what Hunting Demon Hao said.
Although what that guy said was indeed unpleasant, this is indeed the situation.
The trial time for this case was very tight, otherwise the case would not have been tried on the same day the arrest was made. If Naruhodō Ryunosuke wasted time on a case that the police considered irrelevant.
Even though he had a good relationship with Naruhodō Ryunosuke, he had to give a warning or punishment at this time.
This is the order of the court, and as the presiding judge, he has to maintain it.
After all, there are many citizens of the British Empire watching here, and the order of the courtroom reflects the credibility of the British Empire's judicial system!
"Then, Director Yan Tu, please give me the information about the murdered gypsy!"
Naruhodō Ryunosuke looked at Yan Tu Haici at the testimony stand and said seriously.
In his eyes, the suspicion of the relationship between Yan Tuhaici and Professor Moriarty has become increasingly greater. Therefore, even if Yan Tuhaici shows resistance here, he will once again ask the other party to provide information about the case.
However, to Naruhodō Ryunosuke's surprise, Yan Tu Haici had no intention of resisting at all.
The new commissioner of Scotland Yard just smiled and shook his head, then took out the case information wrapped in a file bag from under the witness stand and placed it on the table.
Yan Tu Haici smiled and clapped, then said.
"Haha, it's good for young people to have a little questioning spirit. Naruhodō-kun, take it. This is the case information you want. Let's see if I can help you!"
"I hope you can find some information that can help solve the case!"
...So simple?
Naruhodō Ryunosuke was stunned. He felt that this situation seemed a little wrong.
However, the two cases occurred on the same night with the same murder method. It really doesn't seem right to say that they are unrelated. Even though Yan Tu Haici's attitude is weird, he has to continue investigating.
He walked out of the defense seat, came to the front of the testimony desk, and then picked up the case information.
