Chapter 595: The Murder of Hosou Reito
Chapter 595: The murder of Hosou Reito
"Ms. Edwards, you mentioned in your testimony that you were standing at the entrance of the alley ready to ask the lady what was going on. Excuse me, did you talk to her in the end?"
"How did Jack the Ripper disappear? People can't just disappear out of thin air. There must be a process, right?"
Naruhodō Ryunosuke asked cautiously, and after that, he did not forget to add one more sentence.
"People who are so fast that they are invisible to the naked eye can only exist in myths and stories. They can't exist in the real world. It's too unscientific and hard to believe."
...That makes sense.
The presiding judge nodded, but caught a glimpse of Prosecutor Hao from the corner of his eye.
The prosecutor, who looked experienced but was actually new to the job, seemed a little embarrassed.
What's the reason?
The answer is simple.
If it were a more normal world view, Karma Go would think that what Naruhodō Ryunosuke said was absolutely correct. How could there really be someone who is so fast that he cannot be caught by the naked eye?
But in fact, such people do exist in this world.
For example, the guy who used Xiang Yuanguang's body and identity, his strength increased several times, reaching an indescribable height, and it was not impossible for him to move in a way that could not be captured by the naked eye...
However, although Karma Hao knew this, he was unable to directly refute it in public.
Because if he said the defense was wrong, people could move at speeds that could not be captured by the naked eye.
Then, the final result can only be that the defense, the audience and the presiding judge all look at him with an eye of care for the mentally disabled - because this is a bit too supermodel for old London.
He could have refuted it, but was unable to do so due to the knowledge of the people present.
This experience made Karma Hao feel very uncomfortable. His fingers kept tapping his elbow at a faster frequency.
"…I was planning to ask the woman about her specific situation, but she didn't intend to talk to me. She just turned around and pushed open the iron door next to her and went in, shutting me out."
"She may have said something to Jack the Ripper, but I didn't hear what they said."
Katherine Edwards replied.
"As for how Jack the Ripper disappeared... I don't know, because, I really just blinked, and then Jack the Ripper disappeared from my sight."
"At that time, a corner of my skirt was lifted up by the wind for no apparent reason, which made me feel very strange."
...What kind of inexplicable wind? You wouldn't think that someone was driving so fast that it caused the wind, right?
Naruhodō Ryunosuke held his forehead with his hand as if he had a headache.
Answering the question about Jack the Ripper is the same as not answering it at all. There is no difference.
Just like a person cannot be so fast as to be invisible to the naked eye, it is also impossible for a person to be so fast as to create the wind.
This place... maybe I can ask again...
"Miss Edwards..."
"That's enough! Naruhodō Ryunosuke, there's no other place you can ask!"
At this moment, Karma Go suddenly shouted loudly, stopping Naruhodō from asking questions.
He pointed at the barrister without any hesitation, and then said with a sneer.
"No matter how many times you ask, the witness knows what he knows, and he still doesn't know what he doesn't know." "There are many ways to disappear suddenly, such as magic, or too fast, or some kind of hook, sleight of hand... These things have nothing to do with the progress of the case."
"I've had enough of your meaningless nonsense. It's almost time to end it!"
what? !
Is this the end?
Naruhodō Ryunosuke was just about to slam the table and yell at Prosecutor Gou.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, juror number five of the jury tapped the table with his fingers, attracting everyone's attention.
Whether it was Naruhodō Ryunosuke or Karma Go, the two protagonists in the court looked sideways at the same time.
Because juror number five is Phoenix Wright.
"I also think that the trial of the third Jack the Ripper serial murder case is almost over. At present, there is no evidence or testimony to further advance the investigation of the case."
In the shocked eyes of his ancestor, Naruhodō Ryuichi spoke without hesitation.
His answer surprised Karma Hao, and the old prosecutor subconsciously wondered if this was a trick.
After all, when Naruhodō Ryuichi was laning against him, he was relentless and even banged the table until his hands hurt in order to buy himself a few more seconds to think. Why did he just give up now?
This is not like his defense style. Even if the other party is a juror, he will stand on the side of the defense.
"But, Mr. Judge, it is a bit unfair to want Asogi Yizhen to be found guilty just by looking at the result of the third trial of the Jack the Ripper serial murder case, isn't it?"
"Don't forget, this case is trying all the cases of Jack the Ripper at the same time...including the murder of Hosou Reito at St. Antlers Hospital."
"Isn't it time to let the witnesses in the murder of Hosho Reito testify in court?"
Naruhodō Ryuichi smiled and changed the subject, directing the question to another case.
The person in charge of this case beside Moriarty is no longer Yan Tu Hai Ci. He only plays a role in pushing the mainstream, and the main arrangements are still made by Ya Liu Wu.
Juror No. 1 Ya Liuwu pushed his glasses and smiled inexplicably.
As if this had been anticipated.
In fact, he knew that Wright would definitely lead the topic to the murder of Reito Hosou, but this was also within his expectations. Rather, he hoped that Wright would lead the topic in this way.
Otherwise, wouldn’t all his previous arrangements be wasted and not even be put to use?
"Haha, Naruhodō Ryuichi, you already have one foot in the grave."
The reverse male ghost made a not very friendly sound.
This voice did not change Naruhodō Ryuichi's expression at all, he just spoke again.
"Ya Liu, don't forget, I'm not a defense lawyer... But even if I'm not on the defense bench, I can still defeat you, just like Wang Nixi's first trial..."
"I went from the defense table to the witness stand, and finally to the defendant's table."
"This time, I think you want to try a new experience, such as moving from the jury seat to the witness stand or the dock, right?"
Juror No. 1 snorted coldly. He was deeply impressed by the case that Naruhodō described.
The other party actually used his students to send him to jail. This was a great shame in his teaching career!
"Then just wait and see, Naruhodō Ryuichi, I will let you know who is the final winner..."
