Chapter 574: The Gypsy's Identity
Chapter 574: The Gypsy's 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——————
"Ahem, this court has a general understanding of the circumstances of this case. Please ask Assistant Naruhodō to explain in detail!"
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.
"In the case of the gypsy murder, the forensic autopsy report mentioned that the deceased seemed to have some addictive drug powder on his body, and the police's simple investigation results also stated that the deceased often moved around in a fixed place."
"But gypsies are wanderers. How could they stay in one place? And they carry addictive drugs and wear weird clothes..."
"Your Excellency the Judge, do you think that this gypsy could be simply disguising himself as a wizard..."
There was a gleam in the barrister's eyes as he remembered the information about Professor Moriarty.
"Addictive drug dealer!"
Hearing this, both Demon Hunter and Yan Tu Hai Ci were shocked.
Although their faces remained calm and they seemed to be able to keep their composure, they were actually already verbally criticizing Professor Moriarty in their hearts.
The reason is simple. Everyone in the underground world knows that Professor Moriarty hates this kind of drug dealers the most, and he uses thundering means to purge them...
It even got to the point where whenever someone mentioned that a drug dealer in a certain place was killed, some people would suspect that it was Moriarty's men who did it!
In this case, when Yan Tu Hai Ci was about to lead the police team, he caught someone with such a special identity to take action? If Naruhodo knew about Professor Moriarty's habit of taking action, wouldn't he immediately associate it with the mastermind behind it?
There are so many killers, swindlers, or other villains in the old London underworld, why do you insist on doing this?
However, what surprised Karma Hao and Yan Tu Haici even more was that the jury members spoke.
The person who spoke this time was Juror No. 1, Yaluwuren.
The legendary lawyer who claimed to have defeated Phoenix Wright spoke with a fake smile.
