There is no use deceiving yourself at this time. These children are nothing but elementary school students.
Anyway, they would reveal this fact after the trial began, so it would be better for Naruhodō to expose the situation before that.
At least this would give the presiding judge some time to absorb the situation and prevent the old man from being shocked to the point of cardiac and respiratory arrest and having to be sent for emergency treatment.
Although doing so would most likely require a new presiding judge, one has already been sent away, so there would be no problem in replacing another one.
"No, they are genuine teenagers. If the bailiff hadn't recognized the temporary lawyer badges in their hands, I'm afraid I wouldn't believe that the legal system in Old London has actually... advanced to this point."
Originally Naruhodō wanted to say something outrageous, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem right for him to say that.
After all, if there was no new system in old London, he, a legitimate lawyer with a regular position but who had lost his lawyer's armband, would not be able to enter the court. As a beneficiary, he has no right to blame this.
"...Uh, is there such a thing? I don't know..."
The old man with the wig was a little confused, but he still shook his head and said nothing more.
This is probably some new legal system that was tried out in the Jack the Ripper case?
He had hurriedly come to take over the position of the original chief judge, Liu Wancai, and was not very familiar with the details of the Jack the Ripper case, but this special situation...
Anyway, the bailiff has let it pass, so there shouldn't be any problem. If there is a problem, the bailiff will have to take the blame.
Tick, tick, tick.
However, what surprised him was that the defendant and the prosecutor had not yet entered the courtroom.
Could it be that he had encountered something special in this regard? Or was he just forgiving him on purpose?
No one knew about this. Naruhodō only knew that the few little geniuses next to him were exclaiming at the arrival of so many people.
Just as he was waiting for everyone to gather so that the trial could officially begin, Mitsuhiko suddenly pulled the corner of his black school uniform. He immediately looked down at Mitsuhiko in confusion.
The think tank of the Junior Detective Team pointed to a certain place in the courtroom with some confusion.
"Uncle Naruhodō, what kind of seat is that? Why haven't I seen it before?"
...What seat? What seat could it be?
Naruhodō Ryunosuke looked at the place where Mitsuhiko was pointing with a frown on his face.
It’s not that he has no patience for children, but the layout in the courtroom is the most basic of basics for a lawyer.
The Junior Detective Team also claimed to have experience in participating in court trials, but now it seems that they were probably fooling him.
It seems that we have to pay more attention to the members of the Junior Detective Team next time, otherwise big problems may arise.
Despite what he was thinking, Naruhodō still answered Mitsuhiko's question.
“That was where the [jury] sat, an important part of the old London judicial system.”
"If I remember correctly, five citizens who have nothing to do with the case will be randomly invited to the courtroom to listen to the trial. Their words and actions in the courtroom will affect the order of the trial."
Mitsuhiko wanted to ask why there were only four people on the jury's five seats, but at this moment the door of the courtroom had been pushed open forcefully, and a strange man appeared at the door.
"…It seems that the prosecutor who was difficult to deal with in Yashuangyi's words has arrived."
Naruhodō Ryunosuke's eyes narrowed.
The prosecutor, Karma Go, who temporarily concealed his last name and only appeared by his first name, appeared.
The newly appointed prosecutor had completely white hair, but he was full of energy and didn't look like an old man at all. He came to the prosecutor's seat and looked at Naruhodō with a sneer, which was chilling.
Chapter 568: The Arrival of the Elites
Karma Go is an ace prosecutor from the same world as Phoenix Wright and others. He is famous for his decisiveness and great memory recovery skills, and is an undefeated prosecutor who pursues perfection.
However, his first and last defeat directly ended his career as a prosecutor.
The person who defeated Karma Go was the legendary lawyer Naruhodō Ryuichi. As a rookie lawyer, he became a "defense genius" who was able to defeat the undefeated prosecutor within three cases.
Naruhodō Ryuunosuke is the ancestor of Naruhodō Ryuichi and a legendary lawyer who has left a mark in judicial history. His peak strength is definitely not inferior to that of Naruhodō Ryuichi whom he knows.
but……
"...Geniuses also need time to grow. I won't make the same mistake again."
Karma Go looked at Naruhodō Ryunosuke with a sneer. He whispered to himself, not caring about his image at all.
In fact, the prosecutors here have no image to speak of.
A famous prosecutor, a Baroque Bangzix, nicknamed the Grim Reaper. In all the cases he handled, the innocent defendants would die due to various accidents. Now he has been suspended from work for observation and placed under house arrest.
The other one is Yizhima Yasougi, who was a follower of Benzieks but was once the prosecutor who prosecuted Benzieks... He has now been arrested by the police as Jack the Ripper.
With these two examples before him, there is nothing wrong for him, a new prosecutor, to be a little arrogant!
"Narhodō Ryunosuke, I hope you can live up to the famous sword on your waist!"
The once undefeated prosecutor said coldly, not giving Naruhodō Ryunosuke any face at all.
His words also made Naruhodō a little dazed, and he subconsciously reached for the Demon Hunting Sword he brought with him.
Then he looked up at Karma Hao again, totally unaware of what the other party meant by mentioning this knife out of nowhere.
In fact, the Demon Hunting Knife has a special meaning to Demon Hunting Hao, as you can tell from his last name...
The [Glory of Demon Hunting], which is so important to Demon Hunter, originated from the [Demon Hunting Sword] hung on Naruhodō Ryunosuke's waist. His ancestor became a disciple of the [Master of the Demon Hunting Sword] and learned the skill, which was then passed down in the family.
However, the owner of the Demon Hunting Sword is not Naruhodō Ryunosuke, but... Asogi Yishin.
Karma Hao's fingers tapped lightly on his arm.
This was also the reason why he was unwilling to use any of the methods he had used before to obtain testimony from Yasou Giichi.
Even though the Yaluguru who came after him in the timeline had once laughed at him, the glory of the Demon Hunter School had plummeted because of him, and even his daughter had publicly said in the court that he was a disgrace to the Demon Hunter School...
He also planned to win the trial fairly in court in his own way, in the Demon Hunting style.
Crunch——————
The door of the Old London Court was pushed open, and this time it was the bailiff who appeared, and in front of the bailiff was the defendant.
Asou Yoshikazu, the man followed by the Demon Hunter ancestor, learned the Demon Hunter-ryu's swordsmanship and laws from him. His ancestor even changed his surname directly to the name of Asou Yoshikazu's sword.
Although the person standing in the courtroom is just a specious virtual character...
However, Demon Hunter Hao still intends to let this ancestor's teacher know how powerful the "Demon Hunter Style" that originated from him is.
"Asougi! Are you okay?"
Naruhodō Ryunosuke asked Yoshikazu Asou who was sitting in the dock with concern.
"Of course it's okay! Naruhodo, just go ahead and do it. If it's you... I'll accept whatever the final result is!"
If even Naruhodō Ryunosuke couldn't reverse the outcome of this trial, then I'm afraid that the final result would not be changed even if someone else came. However, this scene of brotherly love seemed to be an eyesore to someone, and someone said mockingly.
"Humph, even a legendary lawyer can fail in front of a rookie. You don't think that if you let Phoenix Wright defend him, you can get a not guilty verdict in this case, right?"
Defense lawyer Yalu Kirito, who once met Naruhodō Ryunosuke inside Scotland Yard, appears.
He walked in from outside the courtroom's door, causing Naruhodō to frown.
Yashuangyi's defense lawyer has determined that it is impossible for Yaluwuren to enter the courtroom, unless he does not enter the courtroom as a lawyer...!
At this point, Naruhodō finally noticed what Mitsuhiko had just tried to remind him of, and he looked towards the jury table.
There were name tags and number tags with the information of the jury members written on them, and one of the name tags was number one...
The name [Ya Liu Wu Ren] was clearly written on it!
"If you want to end the myth of invincibility, you only need to give a gentle push... and it will be solved, right?"
Yaluwuren came to the jury and sat down with a chilling smile on his face.
How to put it, this person gives Naruhodō the feeling of a "smiling tiger".
He looked very friendly, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a dangerous aura began to emanate from him.
It's like his whole face is suspicious, but there's no way to attack him...
"… Whether it's an undefeated record or a legend, it doesn't matter."
Naruhodō Ryunosuke slammed his palm on the table, and the sound immediately attracted everyone's attention.
He raised his finger and pointed at Yaluwuren and spoke loudly.
"As long as we can find the truth of the case and get the correct verdict, that's enough!"
"If you think I'm here just to win and gain fame, you're totally wrong! My only purpose in coming here is to clear Yashuangyi's name! Traps other than this... are useless to me!"
This infuriating scene made Yaluwuren's eyes narrow slightly.
He pushed his glasses, still with a sinister smile on his lips, but he stopped talking.
Originally, he wanted to appear as a defense lawyer to see what level Karma Go, the ace prosecutor who was defeated by the newly debuted Naruhodō Ryuichi, was at, and by the way, get Asou Yoshikazu found not guilty.
But now... he has changed his mind and wants to stand on the prosecutor's side. Otherwise, he would not appear on the jury...
"... I'll let you be proud for a while. Soon, you will know the final result."
Yalukwuren whispered.
In the lounge outside the courtroom, the new chief commissioner of Scotland Yard, J.C. Yates, who was in charge of criminal matters, was listening to his officers report on their work.
