Chapter 657 Argument
"coming."
Conan said.
Naruhodō Ryunosuke and Mugenmitsu, who had not originally focused their attention on the door of the courtroom, turned their heads to look at the door of the courtroom at the same time. They listened to the noise and gradually realized that something was wrong.
If it was a hospital bed, the kind with four wheels, the friction sound on the ground should not be like this.
Now it sounds more like two wheels sliding on the ground, but is there any moving prop that moves on two wheels? A bicycle? It doesn't sound like that either.
"Bailiff, please open the door of the courtroom."
The old man with a wig sitting in the main seat also frowned, realizing that something was wrong.
He spoke and asked the bailiff to open the door of the courtroom. He wanted to see what was going on.
After receiving the order, the two bailiffs simultaneously reached out and grabbed the door handle of the courtroom door, then pulled it back at the same time, their eyes constantly drifting towards the corridor outside the courtroom.
Not only did the presiding judge feel strange, they also felt strange and wanted to see what was going on.
Then, the two bailiffs widened their eyes in surprise.
It was simply that this scene was beyond their expectations.
They wondered if Jack the Ripper was beaten so badly that he couldn't move and had to lie on the bed and be pushed in to testify, and they wondered if that was a bit too cruel.
But now... Jack the Ripper was indeed delivered to us lying on the bed.
But he did not move in a lying position, but in a reclining position.
The famous serial killer was put in a white straitjacket, and various restraints were taken out from the bed and tied to various parts of Jack the Ripper's body to ensure that Jack the Ripper could never break free.
Even the fat sheriff brought four or five policemen to surround Jack the Ripper in various directions.
If they noticed any unusual movement from Jack the Ripper, they would immediately reinforce the restraints until they could no longer be tightened.
Such strict restraint immediately made Shuma Hao frown.
"Huh, are you guys filming some kind of movie? You're using such restraints against a criminal suspect? Then, the prosecutors have to consider the possibility of the police using torture to extract a confession."
Prosecutor Hao's words made everyone else nod secretly.
Because the restraints were so tight, the person being restrained had no room for independent movement. The only thing that could move was his mouth, which was about to testify.
In such a situation, if the police want to extract a confession by torture, they don't even need to use any torture instruments.
All they had to do was put Jack the Ripper there for more than ten hours without giving him any water or food. Then, what testimony Jack the Ripper would give, wasn't that entirely up to the police to decide?
"This isn't a movie shoot, it's a necessary safety measure!"
The fat sheriff asked his men to push the iron bed with Jack the Ripper tied to it to the back of the testimony stand. Then, he slapped the table with an extremely serious expression.
The other audience members in the audience couldn't help but fall silent.
Even Hunter Hau kept quiet for the time being, intending to listen to what the extremely arrogant Chief Inspector of Scotland Yard Police Station would say. If he didn't like what he said, he would continue to criticize him.
The fat sheriff took out a folder in front of everyone and slammed it on the table.
This folder attracted the attention of the presiding judge, who asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Sheriff, what is in this folder?"
The fat sheriff said without hesitation.
"It contains the physical examination reports and injury assessment reports of the many police officers who participated in the arrest of Jack the Ripper. Just by looking at the contents inside, you can know how dangerous this man is!"
"If it weren't for Mr. Mycroft's continuous close-range pistol shooting that temporarily incapacitated Jack the Ripper, I'm afraid the police would have been wiped out in that square!"
Pistol shooting? Incapacitated? Police wiped out?
Naruhodō Ryunosuke could understand these words separately, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand them.
How is this possible? How is it possible that a person can be shot with a pistol and only lose his ability to move, or even that all the police officers can be wiped out without being shot with a pistol?
The person you are talking about, is he Frankenstein? Or Dracula or something?
"This is too bizarre..."
The presiding judge's eyes widened, he couldn't quite believe it.
After all, this kind of thing has never happened in the game setting of Old London.
When the bailiff delivered the folder containing the police officer's injury assessment report to the desk of the presiding judge, the presiding judge opened the folder, took a close look at the official seal on it, and browsed through the contents.
He had no choice but to believe it.
Jack the Ripper, maybe, perhaps, possibly, probably... is really that outrageous.
Seeing that the presiding judge did not say anything after reading the information in the folder, Naruhodō Ryunosuke was a little surprised, and he muttered to himself.
"Is there really someone in this world who is so good at fighting?"
"Yes, Xiang Yuan is not only that good at fighting, but he is probably even better than him."
The Elementary School Student of Death seemed to hear Naruhodō Ryunosuke's mutterings. He just replied to Naruhodō Ryunosuke's questions indifferently, which made Genmi Mitsugu on the other side nod in agreement.
That’s right, he might not be able to defeat Jack the Ripper.
The fact that he was hurt by Mycroft's pistol showed that his realm was not high enough. If he had surpassed the constraints of the pistol realm like him and Professor Moriarty, he would not have been caught here.
After noticing that Xiang Yuanguang next to him seemed to nod in agreement, Naruhodō swallowed.
How to say it, the pressure was huge. He never thought that the lawyer Xiang Yuan mentioned by those kids was actually so good at fighting. He was just like a gangster instead of a lawyer.
In other words, have lawyers in Japan now developed to the point where one cannot be a lawyer if he cannot fight?
"Hmph, Your Excellency the Judge, don't be fooled by these little tricks of the police!"
Huntsman grasps the point that it is impossible for normal people to believe that Jack the Ripper is so powerful.
He criticized the fat sheriff at the witness stand without hesitation, and even labeled the folder and the information inside it produced by the other party as perjury!
"I'm afraid that all that information is false. How could humans have such a powerful force? Even a child would know the answer to this question!"
“Are the police intentionally siding with the defense?”
