—The only eyewitness and victim in this case?
Moreover, he is a police officer of Scotland Yard, and he has all kinds of buffs stacked up.
The presiding judge nodded thoughtfully.
"Well, now let's invite the only witness to the murder of Hosho Reito to testify in court."
"Prosecutor Hao, Assistant Attorney Naruhodō, do you have any other opinions on this?"
Although it was a bit strange that Naruhodō Ryuichi brought up such a thing at this time.
However, Karma Hao had no intention of interrupting him and just nodded slightly.
The prosecutors have no objection, and Naruhodō Ryuichi's teammate Naruhodō Ryunosuke will have even less objection.
"The defense has no objection to this. Judge, please allow the new witness to testify in court!"
The barrister said this seriously, and actually had some thoughts in his mind.
Before the trial began, they used Alice's projection technology to communicate with Gina, so they had a general idea of the testimony Gina would give next.
Furthermore, Director Yan Tu and Prosecutor Hao probably didn't know that they had ever talked to Gina about this.
In this way, there might be a loophole in the opponent's airtight trap that can be destroyed--"
In any case, Gina's next testimony... will be a very important one.
The door of the Old London Courtroom creaked open.
Gina Lestrade appeared at the door of the courtroom. Seeing this, the presiding judge pushed his glasses up in surprise and asked with some surprise.
"Director Yan Tu, is this the only witness and victim in the case of Hosho Reito that you mentioned?"
"But from what I know, this witness seems to have a criminal history of theft, and is still a trainee police officer. Are you sure her testimony is true and credible?"
It’s not that the presiding judge discriminates against Gina’s identity, but that Gina has a history of perjury.
Even though the other party has turned over a new leaf, he still has doubts about the authenticity of the new police officer's testimony.
Hearing this, Gina Lestrade's brows raised instantly, and she was about to refute the presiding judge's words of distrust.
At this time, Director Yan Tu stopped smiling and looked very serious.
This made Naruhodō Ryunosuke a little confused. This was the first time he saw Director Yan Tu showing a serious expression when facing other people's questions in the courtroom. What was the reason?
"Old man, this child is still young. You can't always use the mistakes she made in the past to judge her now."
"Now this child has become a qualified police officer, better than other police officers. I believe her testimony will be true and convincing."
"Little Gina, come on, come to the witness stand, are you ready to give your testimony?"
.How could the Director say such a thing at this time?
Gina was a little surprised. She was flattered and walked to the testimony stand.
Then, he answered Yan Tu Haici's question.
"Of course, I've prepared my testimony! We can start anytime!"
"Yeah, good, just keep this clean, little Gina, let's get started."
Director Yan Tu smiled and nodded.
[“Testimony Regarding the Case of Baosheng Lidou”]
[Testimony begins]
"My name is Gina Lestrade, a newly commissioned police officer at Scotland Yard."
"Then, well, the Jack the Ripper case gave everyone a headache, so everyone stepped up patrols, and I joined them in patrolling old London at night."
"As a result, I met a person running over on the road in a hurry, saying that she saw a dead body."
"So, we immediately followed her to the location of the so-called household, and we discovered that the person who was shot and suspected to be dead in the alley was Hosho Reito, who was barely an acquaintance of mine."
"Afterwards, I checked Hosou Reito's body and found that he was still breathing, so I and other police officers took him to St. Andrew's Hospital for treatment."
"As soon as the operation was over, the captain said he received a call from the police station and asked me to stay here and wait for Baosheng Reito to wake up and take a statement. Then they led the team away."
"Then I left the ward temporarily and found Jack the Ripper in the ward."
"Although I wanted to stop Jack the Ripper, it was too late. He shot and killed Hosou Reito, who had woken up, and then knocked me unconscious and fled the scene—"
"Well—that's all I know, nothing more."
[End of testimony]
Although Yan Tu Hai Ci seemed to have entrusted this little guy with an important task, it sounded like the testimony was not very complete. What on earth was he thinking?
Karma Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.
He wondered if this corrupt policeman who rose to power by killing people was going to give him a "Sorry, I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good guy" scene.
This time the knife has really been handed into the hands of Naruhodō Ryunosuke, but the progress should not be delayed too much.
The witness's testimony contains a lot of left-out or ambiguous elements, which not only gives the lawyer an opportunity to gain an advantage, but also gives him the opportunity to maintain the advantage and completely defeat the lawyer.
".——Come on, Naruhodō Ryunosuke, let me see your limits."
Prosecutor Hao murmured.
However, Naruhodō Ryunosuke had no time to care about the situation of his opponent.
Because he couldn't stop being amazed.
Before at Scotland Yard, Gina never told me the reason why she was the only one left in the ward. Didn’t you expect that she was called away by a call from Scotland Yard?
It sounds like Yan Tu Haici's suspicion has increased again!
No, no matter what, let's try to break the deadlock here now.
The time left for him...—is running out!
The barrister slapped his hands on the table and spoke loudly.
"Your Honor, the defense requests to enter the [questioning phase]!"
During this trial, it was rare for the defense to request to enter the questioning phase immediately after the witness' testimony ended. The presiding judge was a little surprised, but still nodded.
"Since the defense has said so, then the court agrees."
"Paralegh Naruhodō, begin your questioning phase!"
Chapter 597: The Laughing Defense Lawyer Wu Zhiyu
The questioning phase begins.
Yaluwuren folded his hands over his elbows, with a somewhat puzzled look on his face.
Because he had previously estimated that Naruhodō Ryunosuke might act separately from his legal assistant, he had Moriarty's right-hand men make arrangements for this in advance.
If Naruhodō's legal assistant had not been stopped at St. Andrew's Hospital, he would have been stopped again near the courtroom. But the current situation is that he should have been temporarily stopped near the courtroom.
Soon, the first female legal assistant to this legendary lawyer who only exists in history will appear.
"..—- Naruhodō Ryuichi, I told you that you will lose miserably this time, and I wasn't just saying that."
This has been emphasized three or two times and has no power at all.
Naruhodō Ryuichi didn't even bother to pay attention, and just stared at Yan Tu Haici who was at the testimony stand.
Judging from his impression of Yan Tu Haici, since Yan Tu Haici did not give up his right to speak this time.
Well, according to the special circumstances of the British Inquisition, the other party was very likely to interrupt and make amends for Gina Lestrade when the ancestor was questioning her.
In other words, although Naruhodō Ryunosuke's opponent seems to be his friend, he is actually a strict disciple.
"However, if it were the ancestor, he wouldn't necessarily suffer a loss when facing Yan Tu Hai Ci."
The legendary lawyer was still very confident in his ancestors, he murmured in a low voice.
At this time, Naruhodō Ryunosuke had already started the questioning stage.
[Inquiry starts]
"Ms. Gina, please describe your third testimony in detail!"
Wright said loudly.
"You said you encountered someone running towards you. She said she saw a dead body. That was the person who called the police and the person of interest in this case. What did she look like? Any special features?"
"—Who would remember such a thing? The passerby took notes and left.
Gina Lestrade's face immediately showed some displeasure.
She had just assured Director Yan that her preparations were complete, but as soon as the questioning phase began, Naruhodo asked her a question she didn't have an answer to.
In this case, wouldn't her salary assessment be a big challenge? !
However, despite being unhappy, Miss Gina still replied.
"I don't remember this incident clearly because I wasn't the officer responsible for taking the statement from that lady, and she left immediately after taking the statement. I only gave her a warning when she first called the police."
"After that, I paid attention to Baosheng Reito's physical condition, and then I followed him to the hospital."
