Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 3: The Inherited Turnabout/End, Part 2

A forensics officer reports the results of the tests on Kate's teapot - they've found traces of Normallium in it. Courtney sends Debeste off to check on Gustavia's condition, leaving her alone to deal with Kate. Kate says it may have come from a detergent she used to clean the teapot, and says she could not have known how to create the poison gas. You know this is false, though, since the Angel's Recipe contains instructions for creating poison gas. Kate says that this does not prove she was responsible, and suggests that, since Gustavia locked himself in the room and set off the gas, that would make it an attempt at suicide. She goes on to say that, since the gallery employs no security guards, it would have been easy for anyone to sneak in and set a trap. Ray suggests that you should turn your thinking around, and use what you know of the case from 18 years ago to solve this case. Kate claimed to be responsible for melting Dover's scupltures, and yet those same sculptures were on display today... You ask for her testimony regarding the art gallery itself.

Rebuttal: The Zodiac Art Gallery / 追求　～１２星座美術館について～
Press on the third statement. Kate says she had the Taurus and Gemini sculptures prepared based on the photos she took. She adds a statement to the end of her testimony:

 * I prepared replicas of the sculptures in the Winter Palace based on the photos I took.
 * 冬の宮殿の星座は、写真をもとに再現レプリカを用意しました.

Present the Liquid Analysis Results (ふたご座の成分結果) on this statement. This proves that the sculptures are really those Dover made 18 years ago. In truth, Kate did not melt the sculptures - she stole them. She says it would have been impossible for her to do so, and testifies about what she did 18 years ago.

Rebuttal: What I Did 18 Years Ago / 追求　～１８年前の行動～
Your task here is to choose the statement pertaining to the point in time at which Kate stole the sculptures. Press the fourth statement. Ray mentions that Gregory noticed that the saucers on which Kate served the tea were chilled. When asked, choose She stole them then (このタイミングで盗んだ Kono taimingu de nusunda). Kate asks you how she could have stolen the sculptures from under Gregory and Ray's noses. Present her service cart. It was no ordinary service cart - but what was it? Present the Lift Trolley. The lift trolley was carrying a case containing Dover's sculptures, disguised with a tablecloth. Kate finally admits to stealing the sculptures. She removed everything from Dover's room, and replaced them with empty glass cases. Then, she melted some unfinished sculptures, to make it appear as though the other sculptures had melted as well. However, she's only telling you this because she knows you can't arrest her. Why? Because of the Statute of Limitations (公訴時効の本 kōso jikō no hon), detailed in a book Courtney gives to you, which expired 11 years ago in the case of Kate's theft of the statues.

However, Kate's theft of the sculptures did result in you finding Dover's body. Where was it hidden for the last 18 years? Present the Winter Palace Photo (冬の宮殿の写真). The body can be seen in this photo... When asked to point out where, present the Gemini sculpture. It may appear to be one of the Gemini twins... but in fact, it is the body of Isaac Dover, which was hidden 18 years ago. A certain piece of evidence was used to conceal this fact; present the Fluorescent Cloth (光る布). The cloth was attached to a rainbow light device, and set to glow blue, giving it the appearance of a sheet of ice. To prevent anyone from discovering the body during the investigation of Gustavia's poisoning, Kate again used the lift trolley to transport the body out of the Winter Palace. However, she wants proof that this was what actually happened. Present Larry's Sketch of Beauties (美女のスケッチ). At the time when Larry drew this sketch, Kate was in the process of transporting the body - as evidenced by the light blue tablecloth. But where is this tablecloth now? Choose Ms. Hall has it with her (緒屋敷が持っている Oyashiki ga motte iru). She's wearing it around her waist! If the tablecloth was tested, there should be traces of Dover's sherbet on it.

Kate finally admits to everything she's done. She stole Delicia's Megatoxin X, used it to set the poison gas trap, and put the bottle in Gustavia's pocket to make it look like suicide. 18 years ago, she stole the sculptures, because she was afraid that Dover's final works would be lost. She failed to notice the body, however, until she bought the mansion recently. Since the statute of limitations for Dover's murder had expired, she came up with another plan to prove Master's innocence. Given this, her true goal must have been to find the true culprit (真犯人を探すこと Shinhan'nin o sagasu koto). Only one other person in the world knew where Dover's body was hidden - his real killer. Kate knew that the real killer could not afford to have Dover's body be found, and that he would attempt to remove the body again. Therefore, she set up the Autumn Palace to look like the Winter Palace, in order to confuse the real killer, and set the poison gas trap - and whoever fell for it must be the real killer of Isaac Dover. You have no proof, but you should make an accusation (告発する Kokuhatsu suru) anyway, and present Dane Gustavia's profile (風見　豊). Kate says she set up the trap at the museum in order to create as many witnesses as possible, and avoid a repeat of von Karma's cover-up of 18 years ago. The only thing left to do now is wait and see if Gustavia wakes up.

Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 3: The Inherited Turnabout/End, Part 3

Since Kate did what she did to prove Master innocent, Edgeworth believes that the IS-7 incident should be reinvestigated. Predictably, Courtney objects, claiming that no false evidence from the incident is in the case files. Edgeworth objects to this, given von Karma's record of forging evidence. Courtney claims that you are trying to act against the P.I.C., and obscure the truth.

Rebuttal: The P.I.C.'s Logic / 追求　～検事審査会の意向～
Press on the fourth statement. Why would Kate have tried to frame Gustavia? Courtney believes that Gustavia thought Kate was the culprit, and fell for the poison trap while investigating what he believed to be the Gemini sculpture. Of course, she can't prove any of this unless Gustavia wakes up, but claims that she has enough evidence regarding both the IS-7 incident and today's case. She adds two more statements:

 * We already have ample evidence for both the IS-7 Incident and today's poison gas incident.
 * There is no need to investigate any further.

 * ＩＳ－７号事件も、有毒ガス事件も、もう十分証拠がそろっています.
 * これ以上の捜査は必要ないと判断いたしますわ.

Present the Liquid Analysis Results (ふたご座の成分結果) on either of these statements. The identity of the blood found in the melted Gemini sculpture remains unknown, and until it is identified, the case cannot be closed.

Debeste returns after this, accompanied by Gustavia, who has finally recovered. Edgeworth asks Gustavia to reveal the truth behind the IS-7 incident, that von Karma tried to conceal from his father. Ray tells him that, since he fell for the poison gas trap, it points to him being Isaac Dover's killer. Gustavia doesn't respond well to this (after a brief period of not responding at all), but Courtney objects to what she calls your "baseless" reasoning. She asks Gustavia to explain why he opened the case to the sculpture. He says he came to view Dover's works, but arrived 30 minutes before the museum was to open. He opened the case in order to take a closer look at the sculpture. You're not convinced, and Courtney has problems with his statement as well, but she says there is no evidence to the contrary. Gustavia then claims that he had no motive to kill Dover.

Ray says that in order for Gustavia to be the killer, he must have had some motive. You receive the Motive for the murder logic (殺害の動機 Satsugai no dōki). He also reminds you of Gregory and von Karma's argument about Gustavia's motive, in which Gregory pointed out the possibility that Dover and Gustavia's relationship had soured. You receive the Partnership turned sour logic (協力関係が壊れた？ Kyōryoku kankei ga kowareta?). You now think back on everything you've learned about the IS-7 incident, starting with the fingermarks left on the frame of the Angel's Recipe. Were they left by Gustavia? He may have been trying to view the recipe. You receive the Was Angel’s Recipe his goal? logic (究極のレシピが目的？ Kyūkyoku no reshipi ga mokuteki?). Next, you recall Kate's camera, which had less film in it than was expected. You receive the Remaining film (フィルムの残数 Firumu no zansū) logic.

Now to put all this information together. Connect the Remaining film (フィルムの残数) to Was Angel's Recipe his goal? (究極のレシピが目的？). It's possible that Gustavia used Master's camera to take photographs of the contents of the Angel's Recipe. This probably occurred during the Afternoon tea (アフタヌーンティー Afutanūn tī), during which both Gustavia and Dover were not seen. Assuming Dover was killed before Delicia snuck into his room, it appears likely that he was dead before the afternoon tea had ended. Connect Motive for the murder (殺害の動機) to Partnership turned sour (協力関係が壊れた？). Gustavia and Dover worked together until the day before the final of the contest. Gustavia prepared Dover's sherbet the day before, but Dover must have refused to help Gustavia in return. The reason behind this could have served as a motive. Gustavia claims that it was a peaceful parting of ways, and also says that he could not have killed Dover in Master's room during the contest, since Master would have been there making his dessert. You receive the Timing of Dover's murder logic (氷堂殺害のタイミング Hyōdō satsugai no taimingu). Connect this to Afternoon tea (アフタヌーンティー). Dover was alive when the tea break began, meaning this was the only time at which the murder could have occurred. Gustavia isn't going to give in easily, though, meaning you'll need to use "that" to break him down.

Rebuttal: Dessert for the Finals / 追求　～決勝戦のお菓子～
Press on the fourth statement. Gustavia simply says his "intuition" must have been off during the finals. You're not going to get much more, so when asked if you want to change the topic, choose to Ask about the semifinals (準決勝戦について Junkesshō-sen ni tsuite). Gustavia adds another statement to his testimony:

 * Aside from not cooperating with Sir Dover, the finals weren't much different from the semifinals.
 * 準決勝戦では氷堂どのとの協力以外、決勝戦と大きなちがいはない.

Present the Family Photo (家族の写真) on this statement. Wasn't his son also missing during the final? His son must have helped Gustavia somehow... Choose He tasted your desserts (お菓子の味見をさせた Okashi no ajimi o saseta). Gustavia couldn't taste his desserts, and he wanted to keep this fact a secret, so he had his son taste them instead. Gustavia calls this an insult, and laughs it off, since you have no proof - not even Gustavia's son, who he hasn't seen in several years. The only thing that can save you now is Gumshoe, with the results of the tests on the blood found in the Winter Palace... and luckily, Gumshoe finally arrives at that moment.

Gumshoe reads out the report: the blood belonged to Dane Gustavia. Gustavia tried to conceal this blood, by hiding it within the Gemini sculpture. There was also salt detected, though, which probably resulted in the flavour Delicia picked up on. So where did this come from? Present the Rock Salt Lamp (凶器の岩塩ランプ). There were two lamps, both of which were broken - one was used to kill Dover, but no one knew why the other was broken. It's likely that the other lamp had Gustavia's blood on it. Gustavia knew that, if his blood was found at the crime scene, he would be suspected, so he removed his blood from the lamp - by mixing it into the sherbet lyre. The real reason Gustavia returned was to dispose of this evidence.

Gustavia finally admits his crime - he killed Isaac Dover 18 years ago. Dover refused to help him in the final. Without Dover or his son, Gustavia had no chance of winning, so he went to Master's room to take photos of the cure to his taste disorder. However, Dover caught him in the act, and tried to blackmail him. Gustavia responded by killing Dover. He did not, however, plan to frame Master - rather, he wanted to frame Delicia, since she had cheated in the contest. Gustavia planned to freeze the body, but Kate had discovered the body before he had a chance to. Why would Gustavia have needed to freeze the body? To throw off the time of death (死亡推定時刻をずらすため Shibō suitei jikoku o zurasu tame), and avoid suspicion himself. Gustavia is still laughing about the situation, and says you can't arrest him. Why? He testifies about this.

Rebuttal: Why You Can’t Arrest Me / 追求　～風見を逮捕できない理由～
Press on the second statement. Gustavia says he has nothing left to hide, and will tell you anything you want to know. You decide to ask him what he was doing over the last 18 years. He talks about having his taste disorder cured, and going to Zheng Fa a year after the incident. When asked if any of that seems important, choose His training in Zheng Fa (西鳳民国での修行について Seihō mingoku de no shugyō ni tsuite). Gustavia adds another statement to his testimony.

 * Afterwards, I trained in Zheng Fa to become the world's best confectioner.
 * その後、ワシは西鳳民国で修行して世界一の菓子職人の地位を得た.

Present the Statute of Limitations book (公訴時効の本) on this statement. One of the conditions states that, if a suspect moves to a foreign country, the time limit is put on hold until they return. Gustavia spent exactly three years in Zheng Fa. That, however, only brings the deadline to December of last year - just over three months ago. Ray has one last idea, though, and tells you to check the book on the statute of limitations again. One of the conditions states that if a possible accomplice is put on trial, the time limit is put on hold until the end of that trial. Since Master was convicted of being an accomplice, that would extend the time limit by another year. Ray, being Master's attorney, can't make himself use his client's imprisonment as a weapon, and so he passes the buck to you. When asked, choose to Raise an objection (異議をとなえる Igi o tonaeru). Courtney asks you to present evidence that will allow you to have Gustavia arrested. Present the IS-7 Incident File (ＩＳ－７号事件の資料), and choose the "Suspect Data" page (容疑者のデータ Yōgi-sha no dēta). Gustavia was unaware of the verdict that was reached, and failed to account for this possibility. That makes the total time limit for this case 19 years - the case remains open, and Gustavia can be arrested.

What really happened / 何が本当に起こった
18 years ago, the pastry chef Dane Gustavia contracted the taste disorder ageusia. For a pastry chef such as Gustavia, who sought to overtake Jeffrey Master as the world's greatest, to lose his sense of taste would have meant the end of his career. He learned of a cure, which was contained within the pages of Master's famous "Angel's Recipe". The Angel's Recipe was the prize offered by Master to whoever could best him in a dessert-making contest. Gustavia knew, however, that with his poor design skills and failing sense of taste, he would never win the contest alone. To solve this, he decided to collaborate with Isaac Dover, better known as the world-famous sculptor Pierre Hoquet, while Gustavia's son served as his taste-tester. His son visited him during every round of the contest to taste his desserts, and advise his father on what he needed to change to make them taste perfect.

This arrangement worked flawlessly up until the day before the finals. Dover was known for his greed, and had planned from the beginning to use Gustavia only to ensure that his own entries would taste good. Dover's goal from the beginning was to win the contest himself and obtain the highly valuable Angel's Recipe, which he intended to sell. Once Gustavia had finished preparing the sherbet for Dover's entry, Dover betrayed him, knowing that Gustavia would have no hope of winning without his design skills. Even worse for Gustavia, his son had failed to show up for the contest, leaving him entirely helpless.

Gustavia, having lost his chance at obtaining the cure for his ageusia, went to Master's room, where the Angel's Recipe was kept, during the contest, and used a camera to take photographs of the pages containing the cure for ageusia. Dover followed Gustavia, and quickly figured out the real reason why Gustavia had been allowing his son to taste his desserts - Gustavia was unable to taste them himself. Dover mocked Gustavia about his disorder, and demanded an extortionate sum of money in exchange for keeping Gustavia's condition a secret. Gustavia responded by attempting to attack Dover, but Dover managed to land the first blow, causing Gustavia to hit his head on one of Delicia Scones’ rock salt lamps, which Master had placed in the room after confiscating them. Gustavia responded by killing Dover with the other rock salt lamp.

Gustavia then set about trying to frame Delicia Scones for the murder. He did not want Master, who he respected, to be suspected of the crime, but had no problem with letting Delicia, who had cheated and been disqualified, take the fall. He cleared his own blood off the rock salt lamp by mixing it into the lyre of Dover's sculpture, hid both lamps inside Delicia's dessert, and hid Dover's body in the treasure chest of Master's creation, wrapped in one of Delicia's fluorescent cloths. He had planned to freeze the body, in order to throw off the time of death, and then dispose of the lyre containing his blood, but this plan never came to fruition. Delicia had entered each contestant’s room, and ate parts of their desserts, including the base of Master’s chocolate ship. This weakened the base, eventually causing it to collapse, breaking open the chocolate chest in which Dover's body was hidden.

The noise of the ship collapsing was heard by Katherine Hall, Master's assistant and adopted daughter, who went to investigate, and discovered Dover's body. She also saw the signet crest next to the body, and realised that Dover was actually Pierre Hoquet, whose works she greatly admired. She took a photograph of the scene, and called the police to report the discovery. Gustavia then removed the body, and hid it in the Gemini sculpture. He also removed the piece of chocolate stained with Dover's blood, and threw it in the fountain. Before the police arrived, however, Kate went to Dover's room with her camera, where she took several photos of his final works. She then removed the sculptures, fearing that the police would damage them during their investigation, and hid them in the mansion's freezer. She then unplugged the glass cases’ coolers, making it appear as though the sculptures had melted.

Kate's discovery of the body, however, ruined Gustavia's plan to frame Delicia. Because the body was found in Master's room before Gustavia could freeze it, Master himself was arrested for the crime. But by the time the investigation began, the body had been removed, making it impossible to carry out an autopsy. The detective in charge of the initial investigation, Rip Lacer, failed to inform Prosecutor Manfred von Karma of the body's disappearance until after von Karma had indicted Master. For von Karma, to admit he was hasty in indicting Master would have meant surrendering his 25-year perfect winning streak, an impossibility for a man obsessed with perfection.

To ensure his case would proceed as planned, von Karma acquired a forged autopsy report. He used this in the ensuing trial to defeat Gregory Edgeworth's argument that the body was never found. The trial dragged on for a year, until 28 December, 2001, when Master finally gave in and confessed to being an accomplice. At this point, Edgeworth finally used his "trump card", which he had obtained from Detective Tyrell Badd: a recording of Master being forced by the police to confess. As a result, Lacer was dismissed from the police force, and von Karma received his first and only penalty from the Chief Prosecutor. Master, however, did not withdraw his confession, and was found guilty of being an accomplice. It was later discovered by Raymond Shields, Edgeworth's apprentice, that Master confessed because he was told that Kate would be arrested and tried for the same crimes if he did not. The identity of the actual murderer was never discovered by either von Karma or Edgeworth, and the case went unsolved for the next 17 years. Edgeworth left the courtroom with his young son, hoping to obtain a retrial for Master, but was later discovered dead in an elevator - the case that became known as the DL-6 Incident.

About a week before Master's verdict was handed down, Gustavia moved to Zheng Fa, where he spent the following three years studying design. Having obtained a cure for his ageusia, he eventually became recognised as the world's greatest pastry chef. In the process, however, he abandoned his son entirely. His son’s whereabouts remain unknown to this day.

Ray later became a fully-qualified defence attorney, taking over the Edgeworth Law Offices from his mentor. He also took over Master's case, and spent the following 17 years struggling to discover the truth behind the case.

Kate was evicted from Master's mansion by his relatives. Over the course of the next 17 years, she became a world-famous actress, eventually obtaining enough money to buy Master's mansion herself. She then retired from acting. At some point, in the mansion's cellar, she found Isaac Dover's body, hidden inside his final work, the Gemini sculpture. She created a plan to lure out Dover's real killer, since he would be the only other person in the world who knew where Dover's body was. She converted the mansion into an art gallery, dedicated to the works of Pierre Hoquet, and its star attraction was to be his "lost" final works - the Gemini and Taurus sculptures. Kate knew that if the real killer heard of this, he would return to the mansion to try and dispose of the evidence linking him to Dover’s murder once and for all. She stole a bottle of Megatoxin X from Delicia, which contained Fatallium as its active ingredient, and placed drops of it on the Gemini sculpture. She then put Normallium on the underside of the case's lid, and froze the lid shut. To complete the setup, she disguised the Autumn Palace as the Winter Palace, and left only it unlocked. If the killer wanted to gain access to the case containing Dover’s body, he would have had to first melt the Normallium. The Normallium would have mixed with the Fatallium, creating a toxic gas. The killer would then have inhaled the gas when he opened the case to remove Dover's body.

In the event, Kate's plan worked - Dane Gustavia went to the gallery upon hearing of the Gemini sculpture's exhibition, and acted exactly as she expected. He inhaled enough of the poison gas to cause him to fall unconscious, but not before he managed to drag himself out to the fountain patio, where he was found by the “artist” Laurice Deauxnim (a.k.a. Larry Butz). Kate then planted the bottle of Megatoxin X on Gustavia's person, in order to make it appear as though he had attempted suicide. Also at the scene, however, was Gregory Edgeworth's son Miles, who managed to piece together the information his father learned 18 years earlier, and what he learned in the present, and discovered that Gustavia was responsible for Dover's murder. Gustavia came to, and was confronted by the younger Edgeworth. However, he believed that the statute of limitations on the IS-7 Incident had expired, and taunted Edgeworth about this. Luckily, Edgeworth managed to find loopholes in the law which enabled him to have Gustavia arrested for Dover's murder, finally closing the book on his father's final case.

Epilogue / 結語
Gustavia is taken into custody. Kate, having set the poison gas trap, must also stand trial for her crimes. Ray offers to defend her in court, and promises to get her off the hook. Edgeworth accuses Courtney of being dishonest - she knew that a retrial was required as soon as Dover's body was found, but she refuses to answer Edgeworth. Instead, she warns Edgeworth that he is being targetted by the P.I.C., who will almost certainly order him to appear before them. Edgeworth, however, has no regrets, since his path led to the truth. Ray, Edgeworth, and Kay all go to visit Master. Master doesn't see why Kate would "waste her time" worrying about him, but you have something that shows how much she cares about him. Present the Chocolates. Kate has been making these chocolates for the last 18 years, hoping to give them to Master whenever he was released. Master says that now it is his turn to return the favour to her. Ray plans to have Master cleared of his false conviction - but a "contradiction in the law" would mean that Gustavia would be freed, since the statute of limitations would be reduced to 18 years. Ray again asks Edgeworth to consider which path he wants to follow, and leaves.

At the Edgeworth Law Offices, Ray again "speaks" to Gregory, and tells him about how his son helped solve his final case. He promises to always carry on the convictions and ideals his old mentor taught him, and hopes that someday, the younger Edgeworth will decide to follow in his father's footsteps as well.

Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 4: The Forgotten Turnabout/Beginning, Part 1

At his office, Edgeworth is awaiting his meeting with the P.I.C., with a nervous Detective Gumshoe pacing the room. Gumshoe is particularly upset at the idea that Edgeworth might lose his badge, and possibly even switch sides and become a defence attorney. The two are interrupted by a nurse from a nearby hospital, Karin Jenson (武藤　瞳子 (むとう　とうこ) Mutō Tōko), who says she has a patient who wants to see Edgeworth. The girl she brings in looks familiar, but you can't quite figure out where you've seen her before... She had one of Edgeworth's business cards on her, which is why she was brought here. The girl has amnesia, and doesn't even remember her own name. Talk to her:

 * Mysterious girl (ナゾの少女 Nazo no shōjo): She was brought to the hospital in this condition yesterday. She had nothing by which Karin could identify her, but she was wearing a badge - the Yatagarasu's Badge!? (ヤタガラスのバッジ Yatagarasu no bajji) Is this Kay? What happened to her?
 * Your name (キミの名前 Kimi no namae): She really doesn't remember anything. Edgeworth and Gumshoe tell her about who she was before she lost her memory. She is particularly upset when she is told of her past as the "Great Thief". Karin shows you the clothes Kay was wearing when she was found. There's something stuck to them, so Gumshoe has them sent to forensics for testing.

 * Memory loss (記憶喪失 Kioku sōshitsu): Gumshoe tells Kay that she was Edgeworth's assistant. She seems confused by what a "prosecutor" is, though. Karin gives you the rest of the things Kay had when she was found: a Jammin' Ninja Mask (忍者ナンジャのお面 Ninja Nanja no o-men), a Letter (手紙 tegami) addressed to Kay, a Ticket Stub (チケットの半券 chiketto no hanken), and an artificial Purple Flower (紫の花 murasaki no hana) from a corsage.

The ticket stub is for the viewing platform of the Grand Tower. Its timestamp is from yesterday evening, meaning Kay was here at some point. Edgeworth decides to bring Kay back there, to see if he can find out how she lost her memory.

At the tower, Gumshoe reads from a pamphlet that the building is 50 storeys tall, and only the viewing platform, located at the top, is open to the public. The Grand Tower Pamphlet (ビッグタワーのパンフレット Biggu Tawā no panfuretto) is added to the Organizer. After interrupting the shooting of a movie, you head to the viewing platform itself. Kay doesn't seem to remember being here, so you ask her to just tell her whatever she can remember.

Rebuttal: Memories of the Tower / 追求　～展望台の記憶～
Press on the third statement. She recognises the cherry tree, and remembers that she was standing underneath it to take shelter from the rain. While there, she saw something red. She changes her third statement:

 * But... from under the cherry tree... I feel like... I saw something red.
 * でも・・・・桜の木の下から・・・・赤い・・・・何かを見た気がします.

Press this statement. Edgeworth asks if the red thing was the nearby stand. She remembers that she saw someone walking towards her from the other side of it. She updates her third statement again:

 * Umm... That's right, someone was walking towards me from the other side of that stand.
 * でも・・・・そう、屋台の向こう側から、だれかが歩いてきて・・・・.

On this statement, present the Grand Tower Pamphlet (ビッグタワーのパンフレット). Edgeworth explains that it would be impossible for someone to stand on the far side of the stand, since there is no ground to stand on behind it. Kay insists that that's what she saw - the person, in a red raincoat, walked towards her... and pushed her off the tower! Kay's Memories (美雲の記憶 Mikumo no kioku) are noted down in the Organizer.

Just then, a police officer comes up to the viewing platform with an announcement: a body has just been found in the tower! The victim is a woman, and her name... is Kay as well?

Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 4: The Forgotten Turnabout/Beginning, Part 2

The body was found in the meeting room of the P.I.C., where Edgeworth was supposed to be right about now. Karin, the nurse from earlier, is studying the body with her grandmother, Dr. Bonnie Young (伊丹　乙女 (いたみ　おとめ) Itami Otome). Young is the director of the hospital Karin works for. She's also the coroner in charge of performing the autopsy on the victim. She won't give you any details on the victim, but you do at least have permission to investigate the scene.

Investigation: Grand Tower - P.I.C. Meeting Room / 捜査　～検事審査会・審議室～
First, talk to the police officer. He informs you that a special keycard is required to enter the room. Security (セキュリティ Sekyuriti) is added to your Logic. The person who found the body was a member of the P.I.C., who had arrived to attend the day's meeting. Go around to the back of the room and examine the statue of Lady Justice. Examine the bloodstain at her feet. Judging from the amount of blood, it's likely that the victim was killed around here, and the body was moved post-mortem. After examining the bloodstain, a familiar face enters the room - Franziska von Karma (狩魔　冥 (かるま　めい) Karuma Mei), the daughter of Manfred von Karma, who is currently working with Interpol on the trail of a smuggling ring. If she's here, then the smuggling ring may be involved in this case, but she won't give you any details. Dr. Young informs Franziska that she has finished the autopsy. She still won't let you near the body, but eventually agrees after Edgeworth asks Franziska for permission to investigate further.

Finally, you can examine the body. First, examine the stab wounds on the torso. There are three entry wounds, piercing through the jacket's breast pocket. Examine the Candelabra (凶器のしょく台 kyōki no shokudai) to the lower right to add it to the Organizer. This has three prongs, which matches the number of wounds on the body, so this is likely to be the murder weapon. Examine her right hand, which is holding a blue card. The back of the hand has an old burn mark. The card in question is a Keycard (カードキー Kādo kī), which is added to your Logic. Connect this to Security (セキュリティ). Gumshoe checks the data of the card, and finds that it is used for entering this room. The Keycard (カードキー kādo kī) is added to the Organizer. Examine the notepad beside the victim. It's Kay's "Promise Notebook", in which Kay wrote down all the promises she made to her father as a child. It was a piece of evidence in a case from seven years ago, that had gone missing. According to the police officer, this was the only evidence by which they could identify the victim, meaning her name may not actually be "Kay". Next, examine the purple flower on the victim's jacket. This looks familiar... Deduce from your Purple Flower (紫の花) that the one Kay was holding when she was found was probably torn off the victim's jacket. According to Franziska, this means that Kay may be a possible suspect.

Examine the victim's jacket. Edgeworth remarks on how it appears to be made for a man, since the buttons are on the right side. In one of the pockets is a pair of pure white gloves. Finally, examine the victim's head. It has some blood on it, indicating that she may have suffered a head wound at some point.

Finally, Prosecutor Debeste turns up, accompanied by Judge Courtney, as usual. They recognise the victim - Jill Crane (籠目　つばさ (かごめ　つばさ) Kagome Tsubasa), one of Courtney's fellow P.I.C. members. After an introductory whipping from Franziska, Debeste receives the Autopsy Report (検死結果 kenshi kekka) from Karin and Dr. Young, who leave afterwards. According to the autopsy, the victim's head wound was post-mortem, and the candelabra dealt the fatal blow. The estimated time of death is late last night. Debeste immediately orders Kay's arrest. Edgeworth is not pleased, and demands an explanation.

Rebuttal: Why We Suspect Kay? / 追求　～一条　美雲を疑うリユウ～
Present the Keycard (カードキー) on the third statement. The room can only be entered by using a keycard, so how did Kay get in without one? Courtney shows you the room's Keycard Record (カードキーの使用記録 kādo kī no shiyō koroku). Jill Crane entered at 12:52 AM, and, according to Courtney, Kay entered alongside her. But Kay didn't even know the victim... but Courtney claims to have evidence to the contrary. She shows you the Victim's Letter (被害者の持っていた手紙 higaisha no motte ita tegami), which was found in Crane's breast pocket during the autopsy. It appears to have been sent from Kay to the victim, and mentions "revenge for 12 years ago". Edgeworth claims that this is insufficient evidence for suspecting Kay, and demands further explanation from Courtney.

Rebuttal: The Letter from Kay / 追求　～ミクモの手紙～
On the fifth statement, present the Autopsy Report (検死結果). Crane was stabbed in the left breast, so how did the letter survive? The letter must have been planted by the real killer to frame Kay. There is, however, another suspect besides Kay. When asked to present evidence, present the Keycard Record (カードキーの使用記録). An unnamed person used their keycard at 10:15 PM, over two hours before Crane. This other person could have simply waited in the room until Crane arrived, and then killed her. Courtney says that she is the person in question, and that she simply entered the room to make "preparations".

The argument is interrupted by the arrival of Blaise Debeste (一柳　万才 (いちやなぎ　ばんさい) Ichiyanagi Bansai), the chairman of the P.I.C., and the father of Sebastian, who he calls an "idiot". Blaise says he wants the case to be cleared up as quickly as possible - and that means arresting Kay now, regardless of the uncertainties. For Edgeworth to oppose him would mean forfeiting his Prosecutor's Badge... Edgeworth doesn't even have to think about it. He takes his badge out of his pocket, and abandons it on the meeting room's stand. Kay blames herself for forcing Edgeworth to resign, and runs out of the room. Edgeworth follows after her, after giving Gumshoe his final order - "don't follow me".


text:
Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 4: The Forgotten Turnabout/Middle, Part 1

Unfortunately, Edgeworth's search for Kay proves fruitless, so he returns to his office. Ray turns up, having already heard about the murder in the P.I.C. meeting room. Edgeworth fills him in on the events so far. Ray suggests that, since they can't find Kay, they should instead try to find out what caused her memory loss. They return to the Grand Tower to investigate.

Investigation: Grand Tower - Viewing Platform / 捜査　～ビッグタワー・屋上展望台～
There's no one else here, giving you the freedom to investigate as much as you want. First, examine the cherry tree. Kay told you that she was standing by this tree when she was pushed. You receive the Where Kay was standing? logic (美雲の立っていた場所 Mikumo no tatte ita basho). Examine the railing near the tree. If the person in the red coat came towards Kay from the stand, it means she was pushed over this railing. The Railing (柵 Saku) is added to your Logic. Head over to the stand, on the right side of the floor, and talk to Karin and Dr. Young. They ask about Kay, before going home. Walk back towards the cherry tree. You hear some leaves rustling, followed by a scream. So this is where Kay was hiding... She had the same idea as you - she came here to try and get her memories back.

An announcement appears on the TV about the police's search for Kay. Examine it. It's showing a live view of the tower from a helicopter, with rolling coverage of the investigation on the 50th floor (the P.I.C. meeting room). Highlight the illuminated 50th floor or the blacked-out floor above the illuminated floor, and deduce from your Grand Tower Pamphlet (ビッグタワーのパンフレット) that, if there is another floor between the viewing platform and the P.I.C. meeting room, this must be a hidden 51st floor. You receive the Is there a floor 51? logic (５１階がある？ Gojūichi-kai ga aru?).

Talk to Kay:

 * Memories (記憶 Kioku): As the person in the red coat was walking towards Kay, she saw the moon over their shoulder. It was in the same place as it is now: to the left of the tower, above the cherry tree. You receive the Moon logic (月 Tsuki).
 * Recollections (思い出したこと Omoide shita koto): Much like that defence attorney's assistant, Kay likes burgers.
 * Kay Faraday (一条　美雲 Ichijō Mikumo): She still doesn't remember anything about being a "Great Thief".

Go to your Logic, and connect the Moon (月) to the Railing (柵). The positions of the moon and the person in the red raincoat don't match up, so it's likely Kay's memories are confused. You receive the Where Kay fell? logic (美雲の落ちた場所 Mikumo no ochita basho). Connect this to Where Kay was standing? (美雲の立っていた場所). Kay couldn't have fallen over the railing, yet she's certain she was standing under the cherry tree. Was there something else she could have fallen into?

Examine the tree again, and examine the hatch to the lower left to receive the Fell down the hatch? logic (ハッチに落ちた？ Hacchi ni ochita?). Connect it to Is there a floor 51? (５１階がある？). Since nobody knows about the mysterious 51st floor, it must be impossible to access it normally. Maybe the hatch leads to the 51st floor? Edgeworth opens up the hatch, and finds a full-looking storeroom under it. This must be where Kay fell to. You decide to wrap up your investigation of the viewing platform, and check out the storeroom in the hidden 51st floor.

Before you can go down the hatch, you are greeted by Ema Skye (宝月　茜 (ほうづき　あかね) Hōdzuki Akane), a forensics-obsessed high school student who was involved in two of Edgeworth's past cases. She was talking to Detective Gumshoe, and decided to check out the crime scene herself. She has lots of questions for Edgeworth, but with the police on the hunt, it's too dangerous to stay on the viewing platform much longer. You decide to continue the conversation once you go down to the 51st floor.


text:
Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 4: The Forgotten Turnabout/Middle, Part 2

You finally get to see the mysterious 51st floor... which is full of evidence from several of Edgeworth's past cases. Edgeworth tells Ema about the case so far, and she offers to help out, using her forensics skills. She points out the lift on the other side of the room. Before you see where it goes, though, you need to investigate here first.

Investigation: Grand Tower - 51st Floor Storeroom / 捜査　～５１階・倉庫～
Examine the rack of masks in the back-left corner. Highlight the empty hook, and deduce from the Jammin' Ninja Mask (忍者ナンジャのお面) that this is probably where Kay got it from. She must have been in this storeroom at some point. Examine the table by the front left corner. More evidence is lined up here. They all have what appear to be price tags attached. You receive the Prices logic (値札 Nefuda). Examine the stuffed animal priced at $8,400 (¥840,000). This is the same one from the assassination case at Gourd Lake. The Stuffed Animal (ぬいぐるみ nuigurumi) is added to the Organizer. Judging from the price tags, it appears that someone has been selling the evidence from here on the black market.

Examine the empty star-shaped spot. The star shape is the only area not covered in dust, so something was probably here until not long ago. Deduce from the Candelabra (凶器のしょく台) that this must be where the murder weapon came from. Edgeworth says that you should keep this fact in mind for later. Head across to the far side of the room and examine the pile of money on the desk. You receive the Big bucks logic (大金 Taikin). Connect this to Prices (値札). It seems you'll need to further investigate the evidence trafficking that is taking place here. A witness would be useful here... Examine the huge statue in the centre of the room. A familiar-looking red-haired woman with a camera appears from behind it. It's Lotta Hart (大沢木　ナツミ (おおさわぎ　なつみ) Ōsawagi Natsumi), a witness from several of Edgeworth's past cases. She's on the hunt for yet another "scoop". Talk to her. She says her "sources" told her about a black market auction taking place here, and she came to check it out. The pieces of evidence being stored here are all lots for the auction, which took place late last night. Is the murder connected to this?

 * The auction (闇オークション Yami ōkushon): The auction followed a strict procedure: first, the participants entered the storeroom one-by-one, took a mask as they entered, put it on, and took the lift to the auction hall. Upon leaving, they followed the same procedure in reverse. The masks are fitted with electronic voice changers. The Masks (仮面 kamen) are added to the Organizer. Lotta says she counted 11 participants. You receive the Auction participants logic (オークションの客の出入り Ōkushon no kyaku no deiri).
 * What happened? (取材 Shuzai): Lotta was hiding behind the statue the whole time. After the participants had all entered the auction venue, she watched them from the lift. She says she saw the person conducting the auction.
 * The Conductor (マスター Masutā): She couldn't tell if the Conductor was male or female. She did notice the person's clothes - a white suit with a purple flower, and white gloves. Like the participants, the Conductor was wearing a mask - of Zurvan, who is apparently the enemy of Global Hero Onyankopon. The Conductor's Clothes (マスターの特徴 Masutā no tokuchō) are noted down in the Organizer.

Those clothes seem familiar... Present the Autopsy Report (検死結果) to Lotta. She recognises the victim as the Conductor. She seems to have something on her mind now - but she won't tell you what. Time for Edgeworth's special technique of interrogation...

Logic Chess: Lotta Hart / ロジックチェス　～大沢木　ナツミ～
Lotta tells you about what she saw. Early on during the auction, someone won a bid. The winner and the Conductor came up to the storeroom to seal the deal. After a while, though, someone started screaming. A bit later, Lotta heard a "thud", and took some photos. She shows you one, of a person in a red raincoat leaving the storeroom. Did this person commit murder in the storeroom, and then assault Kay on the viewing platform? Lotta's Photo (ナツミの写真 Natsumi no shashin) is added to the Organizer. After Lotta took the photo, she only saw this one person. She assumed this person was the murderer because of the blood on their hand. Where did the victim go? You receive the Victim disappeared logic (被害者が消えた Higaisha ga kieta). After this incident, the auction simply continued on as if nothing had happened. Lotta's Testimony (ナツミの証言書 Natsumi no shōgen-sho) is jotted down in the Organizer.

Investigation continues / 捜査の継続
Use your Logic to connect the Auction participants (オークションの客の出入り) to Victim disappeared (被害者が消えた). If the body had been left out in the open, the auction participants would have spotted it as they left, so it must have been hidden somewhere - but where? Where was the body hidden? (死体を隠した？ Shitai o kakushita?) is added to your Logic.

It's Ema's time to shine. Edgeworth asks her to use her Luminol reagent to search the room for bloodstains. She suggests that you begin with the ladder, since if the person in the red raincoat used it, their handprint should be on it somewhere. To spray the Luminol, use the Stylus to touch the areas you want to test. Bloodstains will show up in a bright blue colour. She sprays a spot on the ladder a few times as an example, and then passes the buck to you. Spray the area on the left of the ladder, just above the top rung. It reacts to the Luminol, showing another handprint. Ema tells you to examine objects you want to test with the Luminol.

Examine the wooden trunk left of the centre of the room. Spray the Luminol on the inside of the trunk. There should be a clear reaction. Was something bloody hidden in here? You receive the Bloodstain in costume trunk logic (衣装箱の血痕 Ishō-bako no kekkon). Next, examine the lift. Spray the Luminol on an area in the lower left. Could this be where the murder actually took place? The Blood on Hidden Lift (隠しリフトの血痕 Kakushi rifuto no kekkon) is added to the Organizer.

That looks like all of the bloodstains here. Now for the last of the Logic. Connect the Bloodstain in costume trunk (衣装箱の血痕) to Where was the body hidden? (死体を隠した？). The trunk must be where the body was hidden after the murder. Lotta says this is impossible, though - she couldn't open it during her "investigation", because a chain was wrapped around it. It's wide open now, though. The Costume Trunk (衣装箱 ishō-bako) is added to the Organizer. With that, your investigation of the storeroom is complete. Finally, you can find out where the lift leads to...

Uh-oh. It's the P.I.C. meeting room. You are immediately spotted by Prosecutor Debeste and Detective Gumshoe. Debeste orders Kay's arrest on the spot, but is assaulted by Franziska and her whip before Kay can be taken away. She says she was actually aiming at ex-prosecutor Edgeworth, but Debeste just happened to get in her way... Franziska says she will move on with the investigation without Edgeworth, who has abandoned his badge, but Edgeworth challenges her, insisting that Kay is not responsible for the murder.

Rebuttal: Franziska's Logic / 追求　～メイの推理～
Present the Blood on Hidden Lift (隠しリフトの血痕) on the fifth statement. The blood found on the lift dripped down onto the floor below, and directly below the lift was the statue before which the bloodstain in the meeting room was found. This proves that the murder did not occur in the meeting room. Franziska points out that there is far more blood in the meeting room than in the storeroom, but you have an explanation for this. When asked to explain, choose The weapon was pulled out here (審議室で凶器が抜かれた Shingishitsu de kyōki ga nukareta). Edgeworth explains that when a person is stabbed, the most blood is lost when the weapon is removed. Before that point, the weapon effectively acts as a "stopper" in the wound, making blood loss minimal. This, as well as the use of the victim's keycard, was probably done to make it appear as if the actual murder scene was the meeting room, and continue to cover up the existence of the storeroom and auction. The Meeting Room Blood (審議室の血痕 shingishitsu no kekkon) is added to the Organizer.

Apparently, Franziska knew about the auction all along, which would explain why someone working with Interpol would be investigating a domestic case. Lotta butts in at this point, and manages to tell Franziska, through a barrage of whip lashes, that the victim's clothes match what the Conductor was wearing. Franziska is annoyed that the person she came to arrest is dead, and challenges Edgeworth to another argument.

Rebuttal: Franziska's Logic, Pt. 2 / 追求　～メイの推理２～
Press on the fourth statement. Franziska says she thinks the crime occurred after the auction had ended. She adds another statement to her argument:

 * I believe the crime occurred after the auction ended.
 * 犯行が起きたのは、オークション終了後だと思われるわ.

Present Lotta's Testimony (ナツミの証言書) on this statement. The auction continued after the murder happpened, so the victim could not have been the Conductor. Before Edgeworth can drive his point home, though, Courtney arrives with Blaise Debeste. Blaise again calls for a "swift resolution" to the case, and orders Kay's arrest again. Edgeworth tries to explain that the person in the red raincoat is another potential suspect, but Courtney says that the raincoat in question was just found - with the victim's blood, and cherry blossom petals, on it. This means the person in Lotta's photo is actually the victim. The Red Raincoat (赤いレインコート akai reinkōto) is added to the Organizer. This makes Kay the prime suspect once again.

Kay now claims to remember the person in the red raincoat lying on the ground in front of her, and admits to her "crime". Courtney accepts no more counter-arguments, and orders Kay's arrest again. She also mentions another potential suspect - Miles Edgeworth!?


text:
Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 4: The Forgotten Turnabout/End, Part 1

Edgeworth finds himself locked up in the detention center again. All his evidence has been taken away, and he's been left with just Kay's Yatagarasu's Badge. He wonders about how Kay is. After a little while, he's called out to meet a visitor - Detective Gumshoe. When he reaches the visitor's room, though, he is greeted instead by Judge Courtney. What does she want? Talk to her:

 * The visit (面会 Menkai): Even Edgeworth's visitation rights are being restricted. Ray and Ema weren't arrested for helping you, luckily. Currently, Franziska is continuing her investigation.
 * Judge Courtney’s goal (水鏡の目的 Mikagami no mokuteki): She says she cannot understand why Edgeworth continues to oppose the P.I.C., even now when he has no chance of winning.

She leaves after informing Edgeworth that his P.I.C. hearing has been scheduled for today. Edgeworth is then brought back to his cell. There's not much to do here. Examine the objects in the cell: the toilet, the desk, the bed, and the bars. After examining these, you get another visitor: Kay, accompanied by Blaise Debeste. Edgeworth tells Kay to believe in herself and her own innocence, before she is taken away again. Edgeworth wonders why Debeste is so insistent on having Kay arrested, and challenges him.

Logic Chess: Blaise Debeste / ロジックチェス　～一柳　万才～
He says that, being in his position, he can "create his own truths". He decided Kay was to be the culprit, and that was that. And now that you're locked up, there is nothing you can do about it. Your truth means nothing to him, as yet another person "disappears" by his hand. He leaves you to await the P.I.C. hearing - your last chance to prove Kay's innocence.

Grand Tower - P.I.C. Meeting Room / 検事審査会・審議室
The meeting begins with Courtney's report on Edgeworth's illegal investigation of the storeroom. She also talks about the investigation into Jill Crane's murder, claiming that Edgeworth disrupted it. Sebastian Debeste reports on the murder case. The murder occurred during the black market auction, in which Crane was participating. She was found wearing the Conductor's clothes, but could not have been the Conductor, as the auction had continued after her death. He says Kay was arrested based on her "confession". Edgeworth objects. Blaise tries to bribe Edgeworth into cooperating, but Edgeworth refuses, and demands an explanation of how the P.I.C. sees the case. Blaise agrees. He has the case evidence returned to you, and asks Courtney to give the testimony.

Rebuttal: Summary of the Case / 追求　～事件のあらまし～
Present Lotta's Photo (ナツミの写真) on the fifth statement. It appears that Lotta hasn't shown Courtney the photo yet, or told her about how she witnessed the murder taking place in the storeroom. Courtney says that what Lotta heard may not be relevant to the case. Edgeworth, however, says that either way, they don't change the fact that the murder occurred in the storeroom, owing to something shown in the photograph. Present the person's bloodied hand. Since the person has blood on their hand, this must have been taken after the attack. And if this person is the victim, that can only mean that the victim was still alive after the attack (事件直後は息があった Jiken chokugo wa iki ga atta). The blood was probably from her own wound. And if the victim was still alive after the attack, then it's likely Kay just found her as the last of her strength expired. Unfortunately, according to Debeste, you've forgotten some details - something especially crucial.

Rebuttal: Edgeworth's Contradiction / 追求　～御剣のムジュン～
Present the Red Raincoat (赤いレインコート) on the third statement. The raincoat had a bloodstain on the hood... but not on the chest. This would mean that the victim suffered the head wound first, and then the stab wound. This creates a contradiction with a certain piece of evidence, though... Present the Autopsy Report (検死結果). Courtney orders the bailiff to bring Dr. Young to the stand at once.

It will take some time for the doctor to arrive, so Courtney raises another unanswered question - the identity of the Conductor. Edgeworth has his suspicions about who this person is, and demands Blaise Debeste's testimony. He challenges you with confidence, since you don't have any evidence to prove his involvement.

Rebuttal: 'Cause I'm Gonna Bully You / 追求　～いじめるからね～
Press on the fourth statement. Debeste says to ask Kay once again if she committed the murder, on the condition that, if she confesses again, she will be found guilty. Edgeworth asks her if she remembers anything more. She struggles, afraid that she may remember something even worse. Edgeworth insists that she cannot be a criminal, and presents evidence to prove it: the Yatagarasu's Badge (ヤタガラスのバッジ). Kay tells Edgeworth again to give up on her, because he has lost so much trying to protect her, but he tells her to believe in herself, and to doubt the memory she has of committing the murder. Suddenly, she remembers something - the victim was carrying the stuffed animal doll with her when she collapsed. Debeste says that her memory cannot be trusted, but Courtney reminds him that Kay's memories are the entire basis of their case.

The stuffed animal Kay remembers is probably the same one you found in the storeroom. Examine its horn. It seems to be movable. It rotates, and a recording begins to play back.

 * "I knew who you were right away. You can't hide that burn from me. ... Silence, huh... I've been waiting for my chance to get revenge all this time! ... AAAAAAHHH..."

Was that the moment of the murder? Lotta confirms that the recorded voices were what she heard. Courtney wants more evidence... It's sounding more and more like she's trying to help you. Edgeworth says to compare the recording with a certain other piece of evidence. Present the Autopsy Report (検死結果). Courtney wants you to show which part. Present the phrase "burn mark" (ヤケド Yakedo) (note that, in the fan translation, the accepted area begins at the R in "burn", and presenting the B or U will not work). Both the recording and autopsy report mention the burn mark. Courtney accepts this as proof that the recording is of the murder. One of the voices on the recording is therefore of the culprit. Lotta stated that two people came up to the storeroom on the lift - most likely to settle a deal after a bid had been won. Since the auction continued after the murder, this must mean that the culprit is the Conductor (犯人はマスター Han'nin wa Masutā). Courtney wants to see the evidence that led you to this fact. Present the Meeting Room Blood (審議室の血痕). The blood was probably left there by the Conductor to disguise the existence of the storeroom above.

Since it is now known that the Conductor is the culprit, Courtney asks if Edgeworth has any ideas as to their identity. Edgeworth says he suspects Blaise Debeste. Debeste asks if you have any evidence that proves he is the Conductor. You don't have anything, so choose I don’t have it (提示できない Teiji dekinai). This is why he's acting so confident around you - he knows there's nothing that can pin the crime on him. Lotta butts in at this point. She says that since the murderer was the Conductor, that means the victim was a customer. But when she checked the auction after the murder, all 11 participants were still there. However, after the murder, the sound of the auction gavel stopped.

This suggests that the victim was neither the Conductor or a customer, which would undermine Edgeworth's reasoning completely. Debeste calls for Kay's arrest, but Courtney objects, saying that there are still too many unsolved mysteries. She says that the case cannot be closed until Dr. Young clears up the contradiction in the autopsy report. Just then, the doctor and her granddaughter arrive. Dr. Young says that she did not falsify the report, but if that was the case, then there would not be an error in it. Dr. Young agrees to give her testimony.

Rebuttal: Error in the Autopsy Report / 追求　～検死結果のあやまり～
Press on the third statement. Young says that she told Karin to write down that the head wound was not post-mortem, which is the opposite of what the report says. They add a statement to their testimony:

 * "I relayed everything to Karin. After that, it was none of my beeswax!"
 * ”検死結果は、この子にしっかり伝えた. アトのことは知らん！”

Present the Autopsy Report (検死結果) on this statement. Dr. Young confirms that the information in the report is not what she told Karin to write down. Karin says she "can't say" why she recorded the wrong information. She played an important role in the murder: She was an accomplice (武藤は事件の共犯者 Mutō wa jiken no kyōhan-sha). Debeste asks why you believe this. Choose The number of people wouldn’t match (お客の数があわないから Okyaku no kazu ga awanai kara). If the Conductor murdered one of the customers, then that would leave 10 participants, but Lotta says she counted 11. Therefore, Karin must have disguised herself as Crane, and taken her place in the auction. Karin says she can't tell the truth, as it would get her grandmother in trouble as well. With Dr. Young's approval, though, she agrees to tell the truth.

Karin admits to having been the accomplice. She says the Conductor was expecting Crane to attack him, and roped Karin into his plan. Karin hid in the storeroom during the auction. Lotta says she would have noticed Karin, but there was one place she was unable to check. Present the Costume Trunk (衣装箱). At some point during the auction, Crane won a bid. She came to the storeroom with the Conductor, where she was murdered. Then, her body was placed in the trunk, and Karin took her place in the auction. How did they get away with this? She stole the victim’s clothes (被害者の服を奪ったから Higaisha no fuku o ubatta kara). Karin put the red raincoat on the victim, then put on her clothes and mask, and joined the auction. Karin won the bid for the trunk, but when she returned to the storeroom with the Conductor, the trunk was empty. When she went to look for Crane, she found Kay unconscious at the foot of the ladder. Kay probably tripped and fell down the hatch from shock at seeing someone collapsing in front of her.

After Karin found Crane's body, she hid both Kay and the body in the trunk, after putting a spare Conductor's costume on Crane. She also mentions that the Conductor had wigs prepared for her, so she could disguise her hair during the auction - one straight, and one wavy. Karin used the straight one. Unfortunately, she doesn't know who the Conductor is, as she never saw his face. Karin's Testimony (武藤の証言 Mutō no shōgen) is recorded in the Organizer.

Debeste laughs at you, as Karin's testimony isn't enough to pin the crime on him. Just then, Franziska turns up. She says Gumshoe gave her "information" which should help prove Kay's innocence - Jill Crane... suffered the blow to her head first. She isn't pleased to learn that you already know this. However, she does have some other information for you - the murder weapon was a blunt cylindrical object. The Autopsy Report (検死結果) is updated with the correct information. Does this give you any ideas as to what the murder weapon might be? Choose An auction gavel (オークションハンマー Ōkushon hanmā). And you have evidence to prove this - present Lotta's Testimony (ナツミの証言書). If the gavel was the murder weapon, that would explain why Lotta stopped hearing it after the murder.

Courtney calls for a recess, while Franziska searches for the auction gavel. Debeste, however, seems confident that she won't be able to find it.

Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 4: The Forgotten Turnabout/End, Part 2

Franziska returns with bad news - the auction gavel was nowhere to be found. Debeste taunts you, while Courtney prepares to declare her verdict... but instead of finding Kay guilty, as expected, she instead indicts Debeste. She produces the IS-7 Incident Documents (ＩＳ－７号事件の資料 IS-7 gōjiken no shiryō), which were what she came to the meeting room for on the night of the murder. She explains that in the IS-7 case, the detective in charge reported to Debeste that the victim's body had never been recovered, but Debeste intentionally failed to pass this information on to Manfred von Karma. Debeste also forced Dr. Young to produce a false autopsy report for von Karma, unknown to von Karma himself. Debeste says that von Karma alone was responsible, but Karin says that the Conductor told her that he would expose Dr. Young if she didn't agree to help him murder Crane. She didn't see the Conductor's face, so she isn't certain who it was, but the part of his face that the mask did expose had a "tattoo" on it.

Debeste says that this clears him of suspicion, as his face has no tattoos. Courtney refuses to give up, and says that she and Jill Crane had been pursuing him. He responds that he didn't know much about Crane. Courtney orders him to testify about what he did know about her.

Blaise’s Testimony: Regarding Jill Crane / 万才の証言　～被害者・籠目　つばさについて～
Sebastian is continuing to deny his father's guilt. You have to prove that the older Debeste did it, though, no matter how hard it will be on his son.

Rebuttal: Regarding Jill Crane / 追求　～被害者・籠目　つばさについて～
Press on the second statement. He says he didn't know about the burn mark on Crane's hand.

 * I only just learned that she had a burn mark on her hand, y'see.
 * 彼女の手にヤケドがあることも、初めて知ったくらいだよ.

Press this statement. Courtney mentions that Crane always wore gloves, and that she also didn't know about the burn mark. Debeste adds another statement to his testimony:

 * Maybe she was always wearing gloves in order to hide the burn mark, y'know.
 * いつも手袋をしてたのは、ヤケドを隠したかったのかもしれないねー.

Present the Stuffed Animal (ぬいぐるみ) on this statement. If Crane always wore gloves, then that changes the meaning of the conversation recorded by the stuffed animal. "You can't hide that burn from me." You had believed that that was said by the culprit, but if the victim was wearing gloves, then everything changes. When asked what this tells you, select The culprit also had a burn mark (犯人にもヤケドがあった Han'nin ni mo yakedo ga atta). This means that the voice heard on the recording is actually the victim. Debeste asks you where the culprit's burn mark was. Present the Conductor's Clothes (マスターの特徴). The Conductor's mask left a small part of his face exposed, revealing what Karin believed to be a tattoo - but what if that "tattoo" was actually a burn mark? Sebastian reacts to this, but his father quickly orders him to be quiet. That reaction alone, however, is all you need to prove your theory to yourself.

Blaise has also realised that Sebastian has figured out the truth. He throws a barrage of insults at his own son, and reveals that he only came top of his classes because Blaise ordered his teachers to score him highly. Sebastian runs off in tears at this. Courtney now wants you to deliver the decisive blow, that will prove that the Conductor had a burn mark on his face. Present Karin's Testimony (武藤の証言). Recall that she found two wigs while putting on her disguise - one straight, and one wavy. The wavy one was not a wig at all - it was really Blaise Debeste's fake beard! He shamed Sebastian into running away, because Sebastian had already realised the truth. Debeste burns away his fake beard, revealing the damning burn mark on his chin.

What really happened / 何が本当に起こった
Blaise Debeste was one of, if not the most corrupt man ever to inhabit the position of Chief Prosecutor. Among his many misdeeds was the forging of the autopsy report in the IS-7 incident. 18 years ago, the lead detective of the IS-7 incident, Rip Lacer, reported to Debeste that the body of the victim, Isaac Dover, had never been recovered. To deceive the prosecutor on the case, Manfred von Karma, Debeste coerced the coroner, Dr. Bonnie Young, into supplying von Karma with a falsified autopsy report. By the time von Karma discovered that the body was missing, he had already indicted Jeffrey Master for the murder. To back out of the case then would have meant forfeiting his perfect record, which would have been unthinkable for von Karma. He used the forged autopsy report to press ahead with his case, and later made Lacer force Master into confessing. Gregory Edgeworth, Master’s attorney, was able to prove that his client’s confession was forced. While he still won the case, von Karma did end up receiving a penalty from Debeste for his unlawful actions.

At some point during the intervening 18 years, Debeste began hosting illegal auctions of evidence. He abused his position as chairman of the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee to obtain the usage of the P.I.C.’s meeting room for the black-market auctions, and to block access to the 51st floor of the Grand Tower, in order to have it serve as a storeroom for the evidence to be auctioned. Information on Debeste’s illegal activities eventually reached the defence attorney Jill Crane, also a member of the P.I.C., and she set out to expose Debeste. She obtained a place as a participant in one of the auctions, and won a bid on one of the items being auctioned. Crane followed Debeste to the storeroom, where, having confirmed Debeste’s identity from the burn mark on his face, she confronted him,while recording the meeting with the stuffed animal, which contained a hidden recording device. Unfortunately for her, however, Debeste had also been tipped off - he knew that Crane would be coming for him. When she confronted him in the storeroom, Debeste attacked her with his auctioneer’s gavel.

Since Debeste knew that Crane would be participating in the auction, and had planned to kill her during it, he had prepared an accomplice, albeit an unwilling one. He approached Karin Jenson, the granddaughter of Dr. Young, and blackmailed her into cooperating with his plan, by threatening to expose Dr. Young’s role in forging the autopsy report of the IS-7 incident. His plan was to murder Crane, and have Karin take her place in the auction, to cover up his crime. After killing Crane, Debeste stole her clothes and mask, and hid her body inside a costume trunk. Karin disguised herself as Crane, and the two returned to the meeting room to continue the auction. Karin won the costume trunk in which Crane’s body was hidden. However, Debeste’s attack had not killed Crane - she managed to escape the costume trunk and retrieve the stuffed animal, and had gotten as far as the viewing platform of the Grand Tower before succumbing to her wound. The moment of her death was witnessed by Kay Faraday, who had been kidnapped and taken from Gourd Lake Park by an unknown person. Shocked by the scene before her, Kay stumbled and fell into the storeroom hatch.

After Karin won the costume trunk, she and Debeste returned to the storeroom. There, they found Kay Faraday lying unconscious at the foot of the ladder, and Jill Crane dead, not in the trunk, but on the viewing platform. Debeste inspected the two women, and found letters addressed from one to the other on each. Assuming that the two were acquainted, he saw an opportunity to frame Kay for Crane’s murder. He hid the two in the costume trunk until the auction had ended. After the auction, he removed Crane’s body from the trunk, and stabbed it with the candelabra. He left the candelabra in the wound, and moved the body to the meeting room. There, he removed the candelabra, resulting in the pool of blood found there, and placed the body on the bench of the meeting room, with the candelabra nearby. This was done to create the impression that the murder had occurred in the meeting room, and prevent the storeroom from being discovered. He then had Karin take Kay (who had developed amnesia after her fall) elsewhere, after planting various pieces of incriminating evidence on her person.

The following day, the body of Jill Crane was discovered in the meeting room. Here, the next part of Debeste’s plan kicked into action: Dr. Young was called in to perform the autopsy, but Karin, who was in charge of recording the details, instead recorded false information which stated that the cause of death was the stab wound, and not the blow from the gavel. Miles Edgeworth, who had been investigating the cause of Kay’s memory loss, took upon his own investigation into Crane’s death, eventually linking it to Kay’s amnesia, and uncovered the hidden storeroom and illegal auctions. Thanks to the few memories Faraday managed to retain, Edgeworth was able to connect both incidents to Debeste, bringing an end to his reign of corruption. As for who had actually kidnapped Kay and brought her to the Grand Tower, the identity of the "ghost" in the red raincoat remains a mystery... for now.

Epilogue / 結語
Kay thanks Edgeworth for believing in her innocence, even when she didn't herself. Courtney says that while the search for the murder weapon is ongoing, it's likely Debeste has already disposed of it. She also mentions that Debeste denies having anything to do with the letters supposedly sent by Kay and Crane to each other. He found the letters, which suggested that Kay and Crane were acquainted, and decided to pin the crime on Kay. Courtney explains the truth behind why Debeste killed Crane.

Several years ago, Crane was in a relationship with a cameraman, who was investigating the black market auctions. He got too close to the truth, however, and was murdered. Crane learned of the auctions from the belongings her lover left behind, and came to seek revenge on Debeste, but ended up being killed herself.

Sebastian remains missing, despite efforts to contact him. Franziska says that he will need to accept the truth eventually, in order to lead his own path in life. Karin apologises to Kay for helping Debeste throw suspicion on her. Courtney prepares to leave for the courthouse - she's presiding over the trial of Patricia Roland, the murderer of Horace Knightley. Crane was supposed to defend Roland, and Sebastian was to be the prosecutor, so replacements for both will need to be arranged. As for Edgeworth's badge, Debeste's arrest leaves his fate uncertain for now. Courtney offers to help Edgeworth get his badge back, but he declines. Before leaving, Courtney gives Edgeworth the notebook found beside Crane's body - Kay's "Promise Notebook". Debeste used it as another way of casting suspicion on Kay, but Courtney believes that it should finally be returned to its proper owner. Kay reads through the notebook, and all her memories come flooding back... Kay Faraday, the second Yatagarasu, is finally back! Karin returns Kay's clothes to her, and after helping her change into them, leaves with Franziska for questioning.

Now that Kay has her memories back, Edgeworth has some questions for her to settle. He asks her what she was doing on the day she lost her memories. She tells him that she was asked to go to Gourd Lake. As she was looking at the moon, someone in a red raincoat approached her, and knocked her out. When she woke up, she was on the viewing platform of the Grand Tower. She stumbled across the person in the red raincoat, now dead, and fell into the hatch in shock. She's still confused about some details, though, such as why she saw the person walking in midair. When asked, say that this is because of Your memories of two places (２つの場所の記憶 Futatsu no basho no kioku). She was probably confused by one or two specific objects - present either the cherry tree or the food stall. Both places have a cherry tree and a food stall, causing Kay to confuse them. This also means that the person in the red raincoat was not floating in the air, but simply walking on the ground at Gourd Lake. There still aren't any clues as to this person's identity, though.

Just then, a sound comes from the storeroom. Kay and Edgeworth go to check it out, followed by the scoop-sensing Lotta. The sound is coming from a transceiver. These things never ring with good news... It's Shelly de Killer. Why is he calling? He asks if you can really consider the case to be fully solved, and says that there is a "mastermind" behind the incident. He wants evidence that proves the existence of a mastermind. Present the Victim's Letter (被害者の持っていた手紙). Kay certainly didn't write the letter, and Debeste is denying having anything to do with it, so who did write it? And how does de Killer know all of this? Despite having given up his badge, Edgeworth swears to reveal the truth, once and for all.

Gyakuten Kenji 2

Gyakuten Kenji 2 (逆転検事2), unofficially referred to as Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth 2, is a Japan-exclusive  video game for the Nintendo DS. It was developed and published by Capcom, and was originally released on February 3, 2011. It is the sixth game in the Ace Attorney series, and a direct sequel to Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth.

The player again controls the renowned prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, as he takes on five new cases that see him reuniting with familiar faces from earlier Ace Attorney titles, and interrogating a new collection of witnesses and suspects. The player follows Edgeworth as he investigates crime scenes, gathers evidence, and pieces together logic, in order to find the truth behind each incident. An old acquaintance of Edgeworth's father also appears, and forces Edgeworth to consider which path he truly wants to follow - that of the prosecutor, or his father's footsteps and his childhood dream of becoming a defence attorney.

As you may have come to expect from the Ace Attorney series, you don't need any knowledge of the justice system or investigation procedures to be able to play this game. You have to find the culprits behind each murder through investigations, confrontations with other characters, and plain old logic. There will usually be an innocent bystander being blamed for the crime, so you must prove their innocence and find the real killer. If you make too many mistakes, the wrong person will be detained, thus resulting in a Game Over.

It's a good idea to read through the /Gameplay/, /Controls/ and even the /Characters/ pages before starting.

Since there is currently no official English release of this game available, the English names used in this guide are taken from the most recent version of the fan translation, available for download here. The guide also features the Japanese names for characters, evidence, testimonies, etc., for users playing the Japanese version.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, known in Japan as Gyakuten Kenji (逆転検事) is an adventure video game for the Nintendo DS. It was developed and published by Capcom. It is a spin-off of the  series. The game first released in Japan on May 28, 2009, followed by America, Europe, and Australia in February 2010. It was ported to iOS and Android in 2017. This game's place in the timeline is in between Trials and Tribulations and Apollo Justice. In 2011, the game received a sequel, Gyakuten Kenji 2, which only released in Japan.

The game is a standard "point and click" adventure, with the player controlling Edgeworth's movements and what he interacts with. For each case, the goal is to collect evidence to determine who the perpetrator is, how the crime was committed and what the motive is. The gameplay is very similar to the other Ace Attorney games, with investigation phases including evidence collecting and obtaining witness testimony. New gameplay features include movement from a third-person point of view as opposed to a first-person view, utilizing 'Logic' to obtain new evidence, and in place of witness cross-examinations, rebuttals.

Like the main Ace Attorney games, you don't need any knowledge of the justice system or investigation procedures to be able to play this game. You have to find the culprits behind each murder through investigations, confrontations with other characters, and plain old logic. There will usually be an innocent bystander being blamed for the crime, so you must prove their innocence and find the real killer. If you make too many mistakes, the wrong person will be detained, thus resulting in a Game Over.

Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 5: The Grand Turnabout

It's the Grand Tower once again - this time, late at night. The ground shakes violently, accompanied by a loud stomping noise, and a massive footprint is left in the ground outside the tower. The stomping grows louder and louder, and a massive red eye peers into the hidden storeroom of the tower. A small boy stands outside the tower to confront whatever monster is descending on the Grand Tower, and his horns begin to glow, as the beast responsible for this commotion stands before him - the Mighty Moozilla!
