Chapter 617 Conan: I'll help you!
Chapter 617 Conan: I'll help you!
"Uh... Although it's a bit strange, I still want to ask a question..."
"Little friend, who are you? Why did you come to the defense table so naturally?"
The old man with a wig sitting at the main seat asked with some confusion.
In response, the Shinigami Elementary School Student simply pushed up his glasses and answered simply.
"I'm Conan Edogawa, just a detective passing by."
"The lawyer of the teenager who was shot was my partner. I am here as one of the paralegals... There is no rule that a defense attorney can only have one paralegal, right?"
...Indeed, not really, but the financial situation of an average defense lawyer is only enough to hire one assistant.
The presiding judge did not ask any more questions, fearing that mentioning the Junior Detective League would cause Conan's emotions to fluctuate.
The fact that he was able to inherit his companions' goals and stand on the Danger Tribunal was praiseworthy enough.
I can't ask any more harsh things of him...
However, when talking about the Junior Detective Team, the presiding judge secretly glanced at Prosecutor Hao at the prosecutor's seat.
He remembered that when the trial just started, Prosecutor Hao had mocked the fact that the Junior Detective Team could appear in court as defense lawyers. Why did Prosecutor Hao remain silent when Conan appeared?
Moreover, I feel like there’s something wrong with Prosecutor Hao’s expression… Is this an illusion?
There was certainly something wrong with Karma Hao's expression. He had already begun to feel a slight pain in his arm.
Who doesn't know the Death God Elementary School Student? Isn't he the football hero in Beika Town?
Since there are few normal people in Beika Town, the Football Hero's decision to kick people is entirely based on his liking for them.
He, Yaluwuren, Yantu Haici and others don't look like good people, so the Football Hero often tracks them for a whole day, and only leaves to look for the next target when the lights in the room are turned off late at night and they have not done anything bad.
Now seeing this football prodigy with the body of an elementary school student in the court, how could he not be ashamed?
Of course, the reason why he felt that his emotions were not right now was not entirely due to the existence of the Shinigami Elementary School Student. Another reason was that he remembered what Yalukurō said when he lost control of his emotions just now————
Yaluwuren called out his real name in public.
Although everyone's attention is not focused on what Ya Liuwuren just said, if they recall what Ya Liuwuren said, they will inevitably notice this point.
If Naruhodō Ryunosuke and Asogi Yoshikazuma heard the name "Hunter", they would definitely have some associations.
At that time, Karma Go felt that he would no longer have the face to continue to put pressure on Naruhodō Ryunosuke.
After all, Naruhodō Ryunosuke was a good friend of his ancestor's teacher and the founder of the law of Japan. He is now using a pseudonym to pressure Naruhodō Ryunosuke, which is considered to be a betrayal of his teacher and ancestors, not to mention suing Asou Yoshikazuma...
"…Look at me for what I am doing? Your Honor, I have nothing to say right now."
Demon Hunter noticed the strange look in the judge's eyes. He snorted coldly and returned to his previous arrogant look.
The old man with the wig then nodded in satisfaction, thinking that everything was normal, and then he continued.
"Witness, the defense attorney's assistant just brought evidence to prove that you did complete a deal with Professor Moriarty and participated in the murder of Hosho Reito."
"Do you have anything else to say? The court reminds you that if you reveal other information now, you may be able to obtain a reduced sentence in the subsequent sentencing trial!"
Although Professor Moriarty is extremely powerful, this is the Inquisition, his home court.
No matter what, the presiding judge still intends to get to the bottom of the matter and uncover the entire story behind this incident.
However, no matter what the presiding judge said, Edward Turner remained silent and refused to say anything.
If he tells, he will die, but if he doesn't tell, he can still live, so he might as well say nothing. "He seems determined to keep this matter secret. Lawyer Naruhodō, try to do it from the side."
The Shinigami Elementary School Student stood next to Naruhodō Ryunosuke. He looked at Garukirō and spoke calmly.
However, Conan's judgment made Naruhodō somewhat confused. Yaluguru was obviously a more difficult opponent than Edward Turner.
Why should we give up on Edward Turner now and instead look for a breakthrough from the Yaluwu people?
As if he could see Naruhodō's confusion, Conan continued.
"Although Yaluwuren is difficult to deal with, at least he will answer your questions, even if they are nonsense..."
"As long as we can grasp the clues in the other party's words and continue to expand his psychological loopholes, we can make him lose control again and then we can go one step further."
The Death God Elementary School Student pushed his glasses and said seriously.
"Mr. Naruhodō, use your terrifying mind-reading and defense-breaking magic on him!"
...What about mind-reading magic and defense-breaking magic? I'm a lawyer, not a wizard. I can't do things like that.
Naruhodō shook his head, but Conan's words reminded him that he could use his most common method at this time.
That is, by asking another witness next to the witness, observing the witness's reaction, and thus finding a breakthrough point to gain a foothold.
So, do it now.
Having made up his mind, Naruhodō no longer hesitated, slapped his hands on the table and spoke loudly.
"The defense wants to question the witness Yaluwuren and ask him to testify about what the witness Edward Turner said before the jury!"
"Mr. Ya Liu, please explain why Edward Turner said you were involved in this case!"
...Come for me?
Yaluwuren pushed his glasses, his expression was still as gloomy, no longer as relaxed as before.
Although his mentality is unstable now, even so, he is not an opponent whose psychological defenses can be easily broken through.
Therefore, he not only had to answer Naruhodō Ryunosuke's questions, but also had to fight a beautiful comeback.
He was able to use words to lead Naruhodō into trouble before, and he can do it this time too!
In response to the defense's request, the presiding judge nodded in agreement without hesitation. He raised the gavel and then lowered it.
Boom!
[～ Testimony about Edward Turner saying that he had instructed him to hide the letter～]
[Testimony begins]
"Oh, Edward Turner would say such things only out of jealousy of me."
"After all, he was the only one asked to take the witness stand when he sat on the jury. It was too much of a psychological gap for him to become a criminal suspect."
"From this perspective, I even have some sympathy for his behavior. Haha, this is just a poor guy with no sense of security."
"I was not aware of the circumstances of this letter. It was only after Edward Turner informed me of it that I brought it up in court."
"As for instructing Edward Turner to hide the letters...haha, the defense has no evidence to prove it, right?"
"Rather than this, the defense lawyer should think more about why the police sent Hosou Reito to St. Andrew's Hospital."
