Chapter 580: Defeat the Demon Hunter?
Chapter 580: Frustration... Demon Hunter?
"Mr. Mueller, please tell me, you just said that you were afraid that if you reminded that woman, you would also die..."
"That means you didn't attract the attention of Jack the Ripper and that woman at the time, right?"
Wright Phoenix asked.
Hearing this, Daniel Mueller nodded somewhat unexpectedly, and he said as a matter of course.
"Of course. If I were noticed by Jack the Ripper, I would be killed..."
"Lawyer Naruhodō, do you still need to ask about something like this? You can obviously know the answer by just listening, right?"
In response, Karma Gou at the prosecutor's table nodded in approval, snapped his fingers, and pointed at Naruhodō.
Then he shook his finger and tilted his head, revealing a mocking expression.
"Wright Phoenix, have you been so overwhelmed by the possibility of failure that you are asking such a meaningless question?"
"Mr. Presiding Judge, I now question the professional competence of this famous lawyer... Can such a defense lawyer really speak in such a serious courtroom?"
Prosecutor Hao is still so proud.
His words caused the audience seats in the old London court to become noisy.
In the main seat, an old man wearing a silver wig quickly lowered the gavel.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Silence! Silence! The trial needs to be quiet now! No one is allowed to speak without permission!"
The presiding judge spoke loudly, returning silence to the courtroom.
He looked at Karma Go, paused for a moment, then looked at Naruhodō Ryunosuke in the defense seat and shook his head.
"Parole Assistant Naruhodō, could you please be more serious with your inquiry?"
"If you keep asking such obvious questions, then this court will think that you are deliberately delaying the trial by asking meaningless questions, and if you delay the trial... this court will expel you!"
The old man with the silver wig said such serious words, but Naruhodō Ryunosuke shook his head.
The barrister's face was filled with confidence. He slammed the table without hesitation and spoke loudly.
"Your Excellency, the defense's questions...are not obvious questions!"
"Because, the eyewitness is now...lying!"
Naruhodō's voice quickly spread from the defense seat to all directions, echoing throughout the closed courtroom.
Whether it is the audience seat, the prosecutor's seat, the witness stand, or the main seat.
Everyone heard what Naruhodō said, and they all showed surprised expressions at this time.
Only Yasou Yiyizhen in the dock just folded his elbows. He seemed not to be surprised or shocked at all, and was still so calm and composed - he had known it for a long time.
Naruhodō Ryunosuke was a natural born defense lawyer, as was evident from his first defense in Japan.
His talent as a defense lawyer seemed almost innate. He grew at an incredible speed and surpassed him within a single trial. He also defeated Prosecutor Yane in one fell swoop.
"I knew you could do it, Naruhodo... nothing can stop you!"
Ya Shuangyi said in his heart.
"... Naruhodō Ryunosuke, what do you want to say?!" Faced with this familiar scene, Karma Go and Gantō Kaiji's pupils shrank. They seemed to have seen another person, another man who was growing up very quickly and raised objections in public.
Phoenix Wright.
A man who was a fledgling new lawyer but grew into an elite lawyer within half a year.
Although they have completely different experiences and times, the feeling they give people at this moment is extremely similar!
"Daniel Muller is a postman, and he claims to deliver mail every day in the neighborhoods of Old London, which means that he works very long hours every day and is very experienced."
"He said that he came to Old London to work and earn money, and he could even make money by delivering mail in the middle of the night when serial killers were out and about. So, he must value efficiency, and he must want to make more money faster!"
Naruhodō Ryunosuke slammed his hands on the table and spoke loudly.
"That is to say, Daniel Mueller, you are lying!"
"Ah I?"
Daniel Mueller subconsciously took a step back.
"You must have alarmed Jack the Ripper, because an experienced courier would use a bicycle as a means of transportation. Would a courier like you who pursues efficiency not even use a bicycle and deliver the mail on foot?"
"As long as the bicycle is in use, the friction between the chains will definitely be audible to a serial killer like Jack the Ripper in the quiet streets of old London!"
"So, if you encounter him while delivering mail, it is impossible not to alert Jack the Ripper!"
Naruhodō Ryunosuke said with great certainty.
However, at this moment, Hunter Hao slammed the table and said with a sneer.
"What does that mean? If the witness had a small allotment of correspondence which he could have carried on foot, why did he use a bicycle?"
"This is impossible!"
The barrister turned his head suddenly and pointed at Karma Hao in the air.
"If your assumption is correct, it doesn't make sense. If there are only a few letters, why do they have to wait from the evening until the next day? If they are really distributed according to quantity, and the quantity is small..."
“Then it’s even more important for Daniel Mueller to use a bicycle as a moving prop!”
"Prosecutor Hao! If you were a courier, and the number of people was small, and there was a danger of a serial killer lurking in the middle of the night, would you deliver the mail on foot instead of using a bicycle to quickly deliver the mail and go home?!"
"Uh……"
Damn, my arm is starting to ache again.
Karma Hao subconsciously covered his arm, his face darkened and he stopped talking.
As an experienced prosecutor, he realized that if he continued asking, Naruhodō Ryunosuke might take this opportunity to jump to another aspect - he was very likely to say so.
[If the number of letters is so small that there is no need to use a bicycle and one can just walk home quickly, then it is likely that someone else sent the letters, so he is an arranged witness.]
If it came to that, Naruhodō Ryunosuke might really take advantage of the situation and ask the presiding judge to adjourn the court for a day to investigate all the people who asked Daniel Moore to send the letter that day.
And during this day... the defense is likely to directly eliminate the information gap between the two sides!
"… Naruhodō Ryunosuke, you bastard…"
He lowered his head, not wanting others to see his expression...
As if he was frustrated by Naruhodō Ryunosuke's reasoning?
