Chapter 630 Police Officer Reiner
Chapter 630 Police Officer Reiner
Yates left the courtroom and soon returned with a Scotland Yard officer.
The police officer looked very serious and did not smile.
It's completely different from Gina's lively appearance, but makes him seem more reliable.
The police officer walked quickly to the witness stand and stood where Ya Liuwuren had stood before, next to Yan Tuhaici. He saluted the presiding judge seriously and then spoke.
"I am a police officer from Scotland Yard, Rainer Kendall, and I will be the responsible criminal witness in the murder of a gypsy. Your Excellency the Judge, please give me your guidance."
The presiding judge had seen so many frivolous criminal cases that he was a little uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of a particularly serious one.
He reached out to straighten his silver wig somewhat uncomfortably, then coughed twice, cleared his throat and spoke.
"Ahem, the court is now clear. So, Officer Reiner Kend, do you fully understand the facts of this case? I know that the trial of this case was held suddenly, and you don't have much time to understand it!"
"If you don't understand this enough, then this court can allow a 30-minute recess."
Although we want to fully understand a case during a 30-minute recess, this time is definitely not sufficient.
But it is much better than letting Officer Rainer Kend go straight in with the file without knowing anything.
Seeing that the presiding judge was showing some concern for the police officer next to him, Yan Tuhaici clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the presiding judge and others, and said with a smile.
"Haha, old man, don't worry, this child's ability will exceed your imagination."
"He was the first person to arrive at the scene of the gypsy murder case to conduct an investigation. He also compiled the case information in a very short time, so he didn't need any time to familiarize himself with the case."
"Police Officer Rainer Kendall is perfectly suited to being in charge of the criminal case of the gypsy murder!"
...In other words, just as Conan speculated, did Yan Tu Hai Ci really specifically let the police officers who were closely related to the case and most likely under his command appear in court as the criminal responsible?
Naruhodō Ryunosuke's face was calm, but in fact, there were already some waves in his heart.
Except for the first time when Conan was giving orders over the phone and was not familiar with the situation in the courtroom, and made a mistake and fell into Yan Tu Haici's trap, every judgment and choice he made after arriving at the courtroom was correct.
Who is this kid? Why does he feel like Mr. Sherlock Holmes when he is serious?
If Kudo Yusaku or other modern people knew what Naruhodō was thinking, they would definitely tell Naruhodō Ryunosuke seriously and accurately.
[This child is the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era]
"Since Officer Reiner Kend is capable of handling criminal cases, then stop wasting my time and start giving your testimony!"
Karma Hao at the prosecutor's table said impatiently.
His time is precious, and the trial process is already a bit cumbersome, so it would be better to finish it quickly.
"Ryunosuke Naruhodō, do you have any other opinions on letting Officer Reiner Kend testify about what he knows about the case?"
...Yes, of course. For example, I should be the one to give the testimony.
Naruhodō Ryunosuke was complaining in his heart, but in the end he didn't say anything and just nodded.
Now the testimony that prosecutor Hao wants to ask for coincides with the testimony he wants to ask for. Since there is no conflict in the two's goals, it is naturally best not to provoke an argument.
Because when he refutes Karma Hao, Karma Hao will retort him, and then the defense will be the one who suffers.
"Well, it seems that the defense and the prosecutor have reached a rare consensus in this trial. Then, this court will agree with Prosecutor Hao's idea and invite Mr. Rainer Kend, the criminal case officer, to testify."
The presiding judge raised the gavel. "This is all the information you know about the murder of the gypsy. Is that ok?"
The meticulous criminal officer nodded in affirmation.
"Of course, Your Excellency, I can tell you the whole story of the murder of the gypsy in detail. This is the significance of my presence in court as a criminal judge."
Boom!
The judge's gavel came down.
【~Testimony on all the facts of the Gypsy murder case~】
[Testimony begins]
"The deceased in this case was a wandering person, a gypsy with no fixed place to live, and the deceased was a man."
"He had wandered around various locations in old London before, maintaining a certain special pattern. According to investigations, he seemed to have a history of illegal game trading..."
"This pattern of wandering around multiple locations without leaving Old London is most likely a means of survival for the deceased to avoid debts and continue his illegal trading game."
"As for why the deceased was wearing strange clothes and looked like a wizard..."
"In fact, this is one of the ways the dead make a living, because in the eyes of the British, gypsies are mysterious, possessing witchcraft and being good at divination."
"So the deceased, who knew nothing about this, would go to the streets in this disguise and obtain some money from the citizens of old London through deception and blackmail, which would serve as initial funds for the subsequent illegal trading game."
"So, I think the death of the deceased was most likely due to the fact that he owed too much money, or because he cheated or extorted too much money in something, which led to revenge killing."
[End of testimony]
Rainer Kendall's testimony seemed a little far-fetched.
At least, in Naruhodō Ryunosuke's opinion, there were many points that he should have raised but did not.
For example, the white powder on the body of the deceased, or the crow feathers of the extremely black night crows near the deceased.
In other words, Reiner Kend is most likely a corrupt policeman who is completely on Yan Tu Hai Ci's side. His testimony is full of lies. If we can find loopholes in his logic chain and defeat him...
"...There is a high probability that we can get testimony that is unfavorable to Yan Tu Hai Ci, right?"
Naruhodō muttered.
The Shinigami elementary school student next to him nodded in agreement.
He stroked his chin, his eyes wandering around the criminal in charge.
In the Sherlock Holmes collection, there was a passage that mentioned the logician's argument. Although it was not a point of view recognized or expressed by Holmes, it still had some merits in Conan's eyes.
For example, if the final result is that the person in charge of the criminal case is a corrupt policeman under Yan Tu Hai Ci, and from this final result, the case is traced back based on various events...
"The case can be solved."
Edogawa Conan said as if talking to himself.
