Chapter 629: If we advance, we can both survive; if we retreat, we will lose everything
"What the prosecutor said makes sense, but what the defense said also makes sense, so this court intends to make a middle decision, which is to first allow the criminal testimony of the person in charge of investigating the murder of the gypsy to be heard."
"If the defense finds something wrong with the criminal's testimony and further infers that Director Yan is a suspect, it won't be too late to let the witness who withdrew earlier testify in court."
As the presiding judge said, his thoughts were indeed centrist, neither biased towards the defense lawyer nor the prosecutor.
However, in Karma Hao's view, if one party is not biased, then it is definitely not biased. His glasses narrowed slightly, and he vaguely felt that the judge of Old London seemed to be on the side of the defense.
In other words, he now had to find a breakthrough in the next phase of questioning by the defense and lower the presiding judge's evaluation of the defense, otherwise the situation would be difficult to resolve.
Karma Hao's fingers tapped his elbow subconsciously.
However, having said that, the person actually targeted by the defense is Yan Tu Haici. He actually has no objection to bringing this guy down. After all, this guy's hands and feet were indeed not clean in this incident.
There would be nothing wrong if the defense lawyer eliminated him early.
Anyway, he had no flaws or shortcomings in this trial. Even if the defense tried their best, they would not be able to defeat him. Therefore, even if he lost, he could leave the court with dignity.
There is no need to use your head to grab the ground... use your head to test the strength of the wall of the courtroom behind.
"...From this perspective, if everyone except me leaves early, wouldn't that actually prove that I'm a high level player? I can use this opportunity to make fun of those guys later, right?"
Demon Hunter's mind was wavering and his attitude was not firm.
But Demon Hunter himself did not realize that his unresolute attitude was just like the Chief Judge in Yan Tu Hai Ci's eyes.
If your attitude is not firm, then you have no attitude at all.
Yan Tuhaici, who was standing behind the witness stand, reached out and pushed up his small red glasses.
He knew exactly what Karma Hao was thinking.
Anyway, this old prosecutor is unreliable now, so he should just rely on himself.
So, after the presiding judge clearly gave his decision, Yan Tu Haici immediately clapped his hands and laughed.
"Old Sir, I completely agree with your opinion, but there is just one thing I need to clarify in advance. It's not that I don't cooperate with the work of the trial court, but generally the person in charge of criminal cases will be designated after the court is notified."
"After all, there are so many criminals in Scotland Yard, and there are also many people involved in the investigation of the case. It takes some consideration to choose one person from among them to enter the courtroom as the criminal responsible for testifying."
"Even if you, Mr. President, now say that you want to let the criminal responsible for the murder of the gypsy to testify in court..."
Director Yan Tu leaned forward slightly, with half of his face hidden in the shadows. He pushed up his red glasses and smiled.
He looks like a nice guy, a good policeman who is responsible for the citizens of old London.
"In the end, I still have to go to Scotland Yard to select the person in charge of the crime, and then have him testify in court, right? Old Master, can you accept this result?"
“…Ah, this…”
Hearing this, even the presiding judge hesitated.
The purpose of having the criminal responsible for the gypsy murder case testify in court is to allow the defense lawyer to find Yan Tuhaici's criminal suspicion from the criminal responsible for the testimony.
But the problem is that the person in charge of criminal cases was selected by Yan Tu Haici, and even the presiding judge has no right to interfere in this regard.
The presiding judge has extremely high authority in the courtroom, but if he is selected to be in charge of criminal matters, he must leave the courtroom and go to Scotland Yard to make personnel changes. He has no way of interfering in matters that are so far away.
In other words, the criminal testimony may contain information that is unfavorable to Yan Tuhaici.
However, it is unlikely that the evidence against Yan Tu Haici will appear in the court testimony of the criminal suspect. These are already two contradictory facts, so the chief judge hesitated. He looked at Naruhodō Ryunosuke in the defense seat and asked again.
"Lawyer Naruhodō, what Director Yan said is true. The Gypsy murder case was not originally planned to be heard in court tonight. Whether you are in charge of the prosecution or the criminal department, that will be tomorrow's work."
"Would you accept the decision to have Commissioner Yan select you as the person responsible for the criminal prosecution of the Gypsy murder case?"
...This is indeed a bit troublesome.
If the person in charge of criminal investigation was a subordinate selected by Yan Tuhaici, then it would be almost impossible for them to obtain any testimony from him that might be unfavorable to Yan Tuhaici.
Naruhodō Ryunosuke rubbed his forehead with his fingers; he felt a slight headache.
So, should we agree with Yan Tu Haici's decision to be in charge of criminal matters, or change the breakthrough point?
The Death God elementary school student next to him said without hesitation.
"Wright, I agree with Yan Tu Haici's idea. Let him select the person responsible for testifying in the criminal court."
"No, it's better to say that even if Yan Tu Hai Ci didn't say this, I would have asked you to raise this point. The person in charge of the criminal case must let Yan Tu Hai Ci make the choice in court."
Conan Edogawa pushed his plain glasses, and a cold light flashed on the lenses.
"Because, only in this case can we ensure that the person in charge of the criminal case who appears in court is really related to this case and must be Yan Tu Hai Ci's people, and we can get useful information from them."
"If we advance, we can keep both, but if we retreat, we lose everything."
"Wright, what's your choice?"
Hearing this, Naruhodō Ryunosuke shrugged helplessly, shook his head and laughed.
"Conan, since we've come to this point, the result is certainly certain."
He slammed his hand on the table and then spoke loudly to the presiding judge.
"The defense agrees with Director Yan Tu's idea. Now, please ask Director Yan Tu Haici to select the person responsible for testifying in the criminal court!"
The presiding judge was somewhat surprised that Naruhodō Ryunosuke actually agreed to this.
But he didn't ask any more questions and chose to respect the defense's ideas.
However, before making the final decision, he asked the prosecutor's opinion again.
The old man with the wig turned his head to look at Karma Hao who was sitting in the prosecutor's seat, and then asked him seriously.
"Prosecutor Hao, what do you think?"
Prosecutor Hao just nodded and said nothing.
Although Yan Tu Haici's decision seemed a bit defensive.
But there is nothing wrong with doing so.
After all, they have teamed up to trick the Yaluwu people out.
It is possible that both of them would use similar methods against the other, so it is normal to be on guard.
"Then, please let Director Yan Tu choose the person in charge of criminal matters!"
The presiding judge brought down the gavel and made the final decision.
