Chapter 639: Why is my testimony so wonderful?
Chapter 639: Why is my testimony so wonderful?
"...Uh, didn't I tell you? After I hid in the back and watched the entire process of Jack the Ripper's crimes, I planned to call the police, and then I ran into Chief Yan Tu leading his patrol..."
Daniel Mueller was silent for a moment before answering Phoenix Wright's question.
But why was there no blood on Jack the Ripper's clothes after the murder? Why did he think Jack the Ripper was going to insult the corpse when he saw Jack the Ripper holding up the dagger? And why did Jack the Ripper keep holding up the dagger?
He had no way to answer any of these questions. The only one he could answer was the first one.
Such an answer obviously could not satisfy everyone in the court.
"Mr. Daniel, I want to ask you again, did you really see the entire process of Jack the Ripper following a female freelance worker into the alley and then using a dagger to kill the female freelance worker?"
"From the time Jack the Ripper was killed to the time you called the police to find Yentu Haici, was there really no time interval? Was there no difference in location?"
Naruhodō Ryunosuke stroked his chin and continued asking.
"Excuse me, how long did it take from the time Jack the Ripper raised his dagger and planned to cut into the body of the deceased to the time you planned to call the police and then met Yan Tu Hai Ci and took Yan Tu Hai Ci back to the alley?"
"Ten seconds? Twenty seconds? One minute?"
"Mr. Daniel, can you tell us a relatively accurate time?"
...A relatively accurate time? But who would remember this kind of time?
The Swiss boy found it a little difficult to see, but soon his eyes lit up.
Hey, I have an idea.
Anyway, Yan Tu Haici is on his side, Naruhodō Ryunosuke has never been to the crime scene, and he doesn't know the exact time. If he and Yan Tu Haici stick to a time point, no one can overturn it, right?
What did Naruhodō Ryunosuke say just now... Oh, it was about the time it takes to raise the dagger and strike?
If the time was too long, Jack the Ripper would have already attacked the victim, so the time in between had to be very short, so short that he would be stopped by the police before he could draw his knife, which means...
After thinking about it, Daniel Mueller suddenly became more confident and he spoke loudly.
"There's no need for an exact time, right? If I were Jack the Ripper and was about to harm a corpse, I would leave the alley immediately, run into Director Yan Tu as soon as I turned around, and then shout to the police!"
"So, Jack the Ripper was frightened by my voice, and then the police pointed a gun at him! Hey! He didn't dare to move. Don't you think it makes sense?"
...and he bumped into her as soon as he turned around? How could it be as if Yan Tu Hai Ci had instantly reappeared behind him?
Naruhodō Ryunosuke felt a little embarrassed, but he immediately cheered up.
The reason is simple: after Daniel Mueller gave this testimony, the final result was already decided.
However, the Swiss boy has not yet realized this. He is still talking endlessly about his explanation which he thinks is very reasonable and convincing.
"As for why there was no blood on Jack the Ripper's body, doesn't this show that he was skilled and had superb skills? I think this is what practice makes perfect is all about!"
"As for whether Jack the Ripper intended to continue harming women's bodies after killing them, well, I can't say, but he had already raised the knife, it's impossible for him to be doing performance art, he must be going to kill someone!"
"So, I said that Jack the Ripper's purpose was to continue to harm female bodies, what's the problem?"
What's the problem? How big is this problem?
Yan Tuhaici's face became darker and darker.
If this wasn't in court, he would probably have asked someone to use the memory recovery technique on this guy.
"You idiot...don't insult my intelligence by saying nonsense here!"
The new Commissioner of Scotland Yard scolded him. He had reached the limit of his patience with these two young men under Professor Moriarty.
He is obviously the king of the underworld, why would he hire such a subordinate? Aren't they afraid of being tricked to death?
Or is it because Professor Moriarty felt that these two bastards would kill him sooner or later, and it was not easy to get rid of them directly, so he threw them here to trap his teammates?
"Ah? Director, my testimony is so brilliant, why is that?"
Daniel Muller was shocked and had no idea why Yan Tuhaici said that.
Could it be that Professor Moriarty's partner, the new commissioner of Scotland Yard, is also jealous of his amazing wisdom in dealing with emergencies?
Sure enough, being too smart is also a fault!
"That's enough, Director Yan Tu. I'm questioning the witness Daniel Mueller now, not you. Please keep quiet now, or I will ask the court to temporarily suspend your right to speak."
Naruhodō Ryunosuke said calmly at this time, and he patted the case materials in his hands.
"The witness just said that after Jack the Ripper committed the crime, he saw Jack the Ripper holding up the knife, and immediately turned around and left the alley to call the police. As soon as he turned around, he saw Director Yan Tu."
"Then at this time, he shouted loudly, which frightened Jack the Ripper and caused him to stop. He was then surrounded by the police brought by Yan Tu Hai Ci and arrested on the spot. Is that right?"
The barrister closed his eyes, and the next moment, he opened them again.
He slammed his palms on the table and shouted loudly.
"I have objections! The testimony you just gave is all fabricated and there is no truth in it!"
"Ah? How do you know... No, how can you say that?!"
Daniel Mueller was horrified.
He pointed at Naruhodō Ryunosuke in the defense seat and spoke loudly.
"Then let me ask you, then let me ask you...then let me ask you, what evidence do you have that I fabricated the testimony?"
"Do you have such evidence? Do you have such witnesses? You have... you... you..."
"…Why are you here?"
The Swiss boy glanced at the policewoman on the far right of the podium.
Gina Lestrade turned to look at Daniel Muller in confusion, then asked back.
"I have been here the whole time? Didn't you see me?"
...Hasn’t this been sent?
Daniel Mueller looked ashen.
If he and Yan Tuhaizi were the only two people who had been to the crime scene in the courtroom, then he could still stick to the testimony about the time, but the problem was that Gina Lestrade had also been to the crime scene...
It was even said that Gina Lestrade was specifically called over by Director Yan Tu.
Isn't this like a flood flushing out the Dragon King Temple, and one family is harming another?
"Didn't you walk to the corner of the intersection, run into us, call the police, and take us to the alley where the crime scene happened? What were you talking about just now?"
The police girl tilted her head and asked in confusion.
