Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/Turnabout Airlines/Part 2-2 - Middle

Now that we are back on the ground, looks like the local police will take over the investigation. You will see a familiar face approaching: it's Franziska von Karma, the daughter of Edgeworth's mentor, Manfred von Karma. But it looks like she thinks that Edgeworth is the killer! She won't let him investigate the crime for now, and Detective Gumshoe's called over to watch over Edgeworth. You can talk to him to find out more about Franziska's investigation.

 * Initial Investigation: Looks like the investigation was already underway as soon as the plane arrived. A curious thing Gumshoe tells you is that she was already here before he even got there. And she was supposed to be in Germany, so what brought her here?
 * Franziska von Karma: Franziska already arrived in America to investigate a certain "top-secret" incident.

A hidden Easter egg: If you check with one of the people sitting on the right, you'll notice Sal Manella as one of the people. You'll remember him from Turnabout Samurai in the first game, as he's the director of the "Steel Samurai".

Now that you know why Franziska is here, you should resume your investigation. Walk left back into the plane. Seems like Franziska is questioning the captain; better not interrupt her. You will go down to the first-floor lounge.

Bad Ending Four: If your logic ends here, Franziska stops the investigation. Despite Gumshoe's protests, Edgeworth gets arrested on the spot.

Seems like Lablanc is causing a commotion. If you talk to the officer, he tells you that you can't enter the flight attendant's room. Talk to Lablanc. Looks like he needs to retrieve his cargo, but since the police aren't done investigating it he can't do that.

 * Lablanc's Cargo: Lablanc has a collection of different art pieces in the cargo hold.

Present the Bloody Cloth. It has the same pattern as Lablanc's hat. Turns out it is made with Borginian cloth and is one of Borginia's world-famous exports. The Bloody Cloth is updated in the Organizer. Lablanc also mentions that the flight attendant hasn't come out of the flight attendant's room for a while. That could only mean that Teneiro is in there.

 * Rhoda Teneiro: Looks like Rhoda is still being questioned in the room.

Franziska then appears and requests that Edgeworth prove his innocence. If he succeeds, he could get permission to enter the flight attendant's room. Looks like it's time for a confrontation!

Rebuttal: Franziska's Logic
Present the Ifly Suitcase on the second statement. The suitcase was used to move the body to the elevator, meaning the crime scene wasn't in the lounge! Franziska claims that the suitcase could've simply been used to hide the cloth, not move the body. That is possible, but the suitcase was definitely moved. Present the Grape Juice Footprints and then present the two lines leading away from the grape juice. Grape juice was also found on the wheels of the suitcase, so the suitcase was used to move the body! But Franziska insists Edgeworth still haven't proven his innocence just yet.

Rebuttal: Franziska's Logic, Pt. 2
This is way too easy. Present the Mr. Ifly Piggy Bank on the first statement. We know that the piggy bank could only be taken from the shop AFTER the turbulence and the blood could be added after the murder. The killer probably picked the bank up after returning the suitcase to its original location once the murder was committed, to fabricate the murder weapon, before planting the victim's travel wallet in Edgeworth's pocket to pin the crime on him.

There aren't any other objects resembling a murder weapon found on the plane and the best place to hide a murder weapon will logically be in the suitcase with the cloth. That means either the murder weapon is still being carried by the murderer or it's still on this very plane. Franziska presents a third possibility: the murder weapon was the piggy bank, and was obtained by someone unlocking the display case and taking it, breaking the glass case at the same time. That means the killer must have had the key to the display case, which could mean Teneiro did it! That's not all, as she pretended to have been permitted to help Edgeworth investigate the plane. Franziska permits him into the flight attendant's room. Looks like we can move forward with our investigation.

Investigation: Attendant's Room
Well, Teneiro is in the room, so let's talk to her.

 * Captain's permission: Teneiro only lied about getting permission because she knew the captain will only listen to Cammy.
 * In-flight shop: Teneiro only went to the shop to check the stock and went to the flight attendant's room after that.

Present the Ifly Suitcase. Ms Teneiro designed the suitcase and was also the reason she went to the in-flight shop. She only went there to see how her suitcases were selling and was glad to see there was one last suitcase remaining... wait, what? There's no way that can be right!

Edgeworth notices another suitcase in the room. Teneiro clarifies it's hers and she had been using it for a long time. But that can't be right. Present the price tag on the suitcase. Why is it still there if Teneiro had been using it for a long time? The suitcase could only have been taken from the in-flight shop and the person who took it was Rhoda Teneiro. Teneiro took the suitcase to this room simply to make it look like it was selling well, when in reality it isn't, so she bought one for every flight. She presents the Suitcase Receipt with a timestamp of 5:40 AM, which is added to the Organizer. All of these suitcases are going to be scrapped at the end of this flight and they are all in the cargo hold, so the killer could have used one of the suitcases there.
 * The last suitcase: Ms Teneiro clearly remembers that only one suitcase was in the shop when she checked it, but there was two while Edgeworth was investigating!

Other than the elevator, the cargo hold can be accessed from a door in the flight attendant's room. There is no special lock because only personnel holding a certain keycard can actually enter the flight attendant's room. That leaves out all the passengers and narrows down the suspects to all the crew members. Franziska notes that since the killer used the elevator when moving the body, they must have a different keycard to use the elevator. One that only Teneiro has! She claims it's missing but she could simply be hiding it. Teneiro is arrested and the chapter will end.

Bad Ending Five: If you run out of logic here, Franziska arrests Teneiro as a valuable witness.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/Turnabout Airlines/Part 2-3 - End 1

Looks like we're finally in the cargo hold. This could be the actual scene of the crime. Let's get to investigating!

Investigation: Cargo Hold
Examine the yellow suitcases. There is clearly one missing, as well as some glass fragments near them. You will get the Glass shards logic.

Next, examine the black suitcase. Looks like this is the victim's, and he has... a Profile on Franziska? Strange... does the victim know her?

Talk to Franziska. She was already at the airport when the airplane landed, giving out orders. But why?

 * Why at the airport?: Franziska was investigating a large multi-national crime, and has collaborated with the Interpol.

Now we can start connecting some logic pieces! First, connect the Glass shards with the Broken glasses. The glass shards are the broken lens of the victim's glasses, meaning he was here. Now connect the Profile on Franziska with Interpol. The victim could be an agent of Interpol who was supposed to meet up with Franziska at the airport. Looks like we have some questions for Franziska. Talk to her again.

 * Truth about Hicks: The victim was an Interpol agent investigating an international Smuggling ring. Hicks was supposed to call Franziska when he landed.

Agent Hicks must have come down to the cargo hold as part of his investigation, but since he couldn't have had the keycard, he could have been accompanied by a crew member. Once he was there, the killer killed him and moved his body into the elevator. As the plane hit the patch of turbulence, the victim's body flew out of the suitcase along with his belongings. And with that, our investigation is complete!

Well, all this evidence really points to Teneiro... or does it? Well, Franziska seems to think so and she's ready to present her argument!

Rebuttal: Definitive Evidence
Press the second statement. Teneiro claimed her keycard was stolen, so it is possible someone else did it. Franziska rebuts that she's the only person who can get the murder weapon from the locked display. You get a new statement.

 * Further, there is the matter of the key to the display case that held the murderous bank.

Press this new statement. It might not be the murder weapon, but Franziska doesn't accept that. There is no other possible murder weapon. We must find a way to rule the piggy bank out and we can do that by further examining the body. We don't even know the victim's autopsy reports, so how can we be sure that his death was caused by the piggy bank? Franziska orders Gumshoe to get the autopsy report. He returns, but with some bad news. The victim died by a blow to his head but was bruised from his shoulder to his mid-back. The Autopsy Report is added to the Organizer. But this doesn't answer how Agent Hicks died...

At that moment, Zinc Lablanc barges into the cargo hold trying to check on his luggage. And he's willing to do that by force! Running straight at the officer he... falls off the railing. This causes Edgeworth to have a revelation and he recalls the facts: he needs to prove that the Mr. Ifly piggy bank isn't the real murder weapon, the real murder Weapon couldn't be found and the Cause of death was from extensive bruising from the victim's head to his mid-back.

You automatically enter Logic mode. Connect Cause of death with Mr. Ifly piggy bank. It's only one bruise down the victim's back, the piggy bank is too small for that. You get the A sizeable weapon logic. Now connect Weapon couldn't be found with A sizeable weapon. A large weapon would have been discovered ages ago, so why haven't we found anything like it? Unless it's something so big we completely missed it. However, we don't have evidence to show it. The cause of death was not caused by a beating, it was caused by a free fall! The murder weapon is the floor! That explains the size of his injuries. The victim fell from the top of the stairs down to the floor of the cargo hold. That means... oh no, Lablanc must also be dead! Fortunately not, as he's alive and still conscious. If that large piece of cargo hadn't been there to break his fall, he would've died... This proves that Agent Hicks could have been killed when the cargo box wasn't there. Present Refueling in Zheng Fa. The plane made a refueling in Zheng Fa, during which cargo was also transferred. The box next to it is labeled the Zheng Fa Express, so it was loaded after the refueling. The Cargo from Zheng Fa is added to the Organizer. Looks like it's time for another investigation.

Second Investigation: Cargo Hold
Examine the large piece of cargo that broke Lablanc's fall. It turns out this is part of Lablanc's cargo. We could get more information about it from him. Talk to Lablanc:

 * Lablanc's Cargo: The cargo contains the "Alif Red Statue" from Europe, and it's a quite Valuable piece of art. In fact, it's too valuable for us to investigate.

Now go into Logic mode and connect Smuggling with the Valuable piece of art. This statue could be a fake, transferred onto the ship during the refueling at Zheng Fa. Talk to Lablanc again:

 * Fake Statue: Lablanc insists that his statue isn't a fake, presenting a Cargo Certification document to prove it. It was loaded on the plane back on Europe. Uh-oh... that's not looking good for our case. The Alif Red Certificate is still added to the Organizer.

Lablanc finally reveals the statue. It seems pretty familiar, doesn't it? The Alif Red Statue is added to the Organizer. Now examine the statue. Something in here contradicts something we already have. Deduce the statue's eyes and present the Photo of Mr. Hicks. The statue in the photo clearly has red eyes, but this statue has orange eyes... this statue is a fake! Now, move to the lower half of the statue. Deduce the cloth stuck underneath the statue and present the Cargo from Zheng Fa. If the neighboring piece of cargo was brought onto the plane at Zheng Fa, it couldn't have got its cloth stuck under the statue if it was loaded in Europe! It was smuggled on in Zheng Fa.

Agent Hicks could've been investigating this statue. Even if he could've done that after the plane had landed, the cargo would have been swapped, implicating that the owner himself swapped it. That means someone was involved with forging the cargo certificates... The Alif Red Certificate is updated in the Organizer.

And with that, our investigation is complete. Agent Hicks likely knew that the Alif Red Statue was going to be smuggled, so he took the photo for future reference. Then, trying to find proof that the cargo was indeed smuggled, he came down to take a photo of the cargo hold. There wasn't any statue on the plane during this time, which alone could be good enough proof. He could then have had the cargo crew arrested for smuggling the statue.

After moving the statue, it's discovered that there is, in fact, blood under it. The killer did a good job cleaning it up, and they did it with a Borginian Cloth - otherwise, the cargo crew at Zheng Fa would discover the blood traces. Which means the murder could have happened before the plane landed to refuel. This means a certain person isn't telling the truth... Ms. Meele's testimony is contradictory. She claimed that the victim was still alive when the plane finished refueling, which means she must be lying. And we need to get the truth out of her.

Bad Ending Six: If your logic runs out here before Hick's cell phone is found, Franziska ends the investigation prematurely, stating Teneiro's guilt to be obvious and that she'll be tried as a valuable witness.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/Turnabout Airlines/Part 2-4 - End 2

Edgeworth gets Cammy in to hear her reasons for having a contradictory testimony, but it looks like she's playing dumb. We will have to force the truth out of her with a good confrontation.

Testimony: Cammy Meele
Well, ain't that helpful? Looks like Edgeworth will have to press her as she sleeps through her testimony! Someone has to wake her up so she can answer to the investigation...

Rebuttal: Ms. Meele's Alibi
Press the 4th statement. Cammy insists she was the only one in the flight attendant's room. Raise an objection and present the Suitcase Receipt. She couldn't have been the only one in the room, as Teneiro bought a suitcase and brought it to the room at around 5:40! Teneiro herself confirms that Cammy wasn't in the room. Her excuse? She went to the bathroom. Unfortunately, as unlikely as that sounds, Edgeworth can't prove she didn't! Cammy gives another testimony.

Rebuttal: Reason for Suspicion
Press the 3rd statement. Cammy knows several languages to help passengers who can't speak English, and one of these languages happen to be Borginian. You get a new statement.

 * All I'm in charge of are the attendants' room and some Borginian stuff.

Present the Alif Red Certificate at this statement. The document is falsified, and if she is the only person who speaks Borginian, it could've been done by none other than Ms Meele! She must have played a part in the smuggling of the statue! Cammy finally wakes up and reveals her true self but still denies participating in the smuggling. She then notes that Teneiro is much more likely to be a smuggling ring member, having access to a lot of the plane. Edgeworth rebuts that this is simply the killer trying to pin the murder on her and that they have been trying to do that from the beginning. When asked to prove how, Present the IFly Suitcase. Out of all the places to hide a body, the killer chose to hide it in a suitcase. The killer didn't need to move the body to the first floor unless they were pinning the murder on Teneiro. Since she buys a suitcase on every flight, if the suitcase was swapped with the one with the body, it would implicate Teneiro as the killer. The sudden patch of turbulence ruined the plan and the killer tried to pin it on Edgeworth. The killer then moved the suitcase to the in-flight shop and took the piggy bank to make a false murder weapon. There is a special circumstance that required the killer to frame it on someone else, though, and that is Where the murder took place. Specifically, it took place in a plane in the air. The body wouldn't take long to be discovered, so the killer had to frame it on someone else. And that means only Cammy could've done it! Cammy states that all of this is just circumstantial evidence. She's right, but there's still one piece of evidence that never seemed to fit in the theory... Present the Missing Cell Phone. The killer must have taken the phone, so whoever has it must be the murderer. Cammy claims that the phone will have broken from the fall, so Edgeworth asks Franziska to call the victim's phone number. The constant beeping of the phone can be heard, but where is it coming from?

Walk upstairs to enter the Flight Attendant's Room. The sound is much louder, so it must be here. Examine the opened locker. Looks like it's in Teneiro's locker. This is looking bad for Teneiro... very, very bad. Better do something fast before she gets arrested! The killer must've hidden the phone because it contained incriminating evidence. You automatically examine the phone. Examine the camera lens. The phone should be able to take pictures related to the smuggling case! The screens are broken, but even though we can't check the data, this means the killer couldn't have erased anything important. A quick data transfer to Franziska's phone reveals a photo of the Cargo Hold... without the statue! That's still not enough to convict Cammy, so we must do one last examination.

Bad Ending Seven: If your logic fails here, Cammy leaves under the pretense of working under another flight, and is never seen or heard of again.

Examine the pile of boxes where the Zheng Fa cargo and/or statue should be. They were shipped from Borginia to Zheng Fa, meaning the photo was taken before the refueling. Lablanc reveals that the boxes contain cloth. There's one piece of evidence we can tie to the killer, and that is the Borginian Cloth! The cloth was used to wipe up the blood, but it could only be obtained before the refueling. The labels are written in Borginian, so only a person fluent in Borginian could have opened one and used its contents, and the only crew member that knows Borginian is Cammy! While she states that the killer could have chanced upon the cloth after frantically searching the boxes, that is not possible. Present the box labeled Bedsheets. If the killer didn't know Borginian, they would have opened the box labeled "Bedsheets" right away, as bedsheets would have been perfect for cleaning up blood. The killer didn't want anyone to realize the crime scene was in the cargo hold, so they used the Borginian cloth to clean up the blood because it was to be unloaded in Zheng Fa.

With no way out, Cammy breaks down and confess to the crime.

What REALLY Happened
An international smuggling ring had set its sights on the Alif Red Statue. They had one of their members, Cammy Meele, help fake a document stating that the statue had been loaded on to the flight at Borginia. In reality, the statue was already smuggled off. Interpol suspected something was going on and sent one of their agents, Akbey Hicks, to investigate. Agent Hicks went to an exhibition of the statue and took a picture of it as a reference. He also booked the flight on which the businessman who owns the statue, Zinc Lablanc, was on. Franziska von Karma was also notified to travel back to America to meet up with Hicks when he arrived.

A while after the plane took off and started cruising, Hicks decided to check out the cargo hold. He went down to the first floor using the elevator, passing by an annoyed Mr Lablanc waiting for his in-flight movie at the wrong time. Meeting Cammy, he asked her to take him to the cargo hold. Using the entrance from the flight attendant's room, they entered the cargo hold atop the stairs. There, Hicks got a clear view of the cargo hold, finding that the Alif Red Statue was nowhere to be seen, and started taking pictures with his phone camera. Being a member of the smuggling ring and panicking over the realization that she could be arrested once Interpol started investigating the missing statue, Cammy pushed Hicks over the railing and to the ground several feet below, killing him instantly and shattering his glasses, as well as his phone's LCD screens. Realizing what she had done, Cammy knew that she had to pin the crime on someone else. First, she cleaned the blood from the fall using the Borginian cloth, knowing that it would be unloaded during the Zheng Fa refueling. Then she took the victim's phone, knowing that it contained incriminating evidence about the smuggling, but couldn't erase it due to the broken screens.

Remembering that her colleague Rhoda Teneiro buys a suitcase from the shop on every flight, she used one of the suitcases in the cargo hold to move the body. She planned to exchange it with the suitcase Rhoda bought to divert suspicion onto her, but the body was too heavy to be carried up the staircase. Thus, she went back to the flight attendant's room, stole Teneiro's elevator keycard, and planted Agent Hicks' phone in her locker. Back at the cargo hold, she moved the suitcase and the body into the elevator. Her plan was going well until a patch of turbulence struck.

The turbulence knocked the body out of the suitcase, scattering the victim's belongings everywhere. Miles Edgeworth had also fainted from the turbulence moments after Teneiro bought her suitcase for the flight. Cammy knew she didn't have any time left to clean up the mess, but she had discovered a new target to pin the crime on. She planted the victim's travel wallet on an unconscious Edgeworth to give him a motive and took a piggy bank that fell out of its shelf during the turbulence, striking Hicks' body over the head to create a fake murder weapon, then made a hasty retreat. Some time later, Edgeworth woke up, discovered the wallet and the body, and was mistakenly accused for the murder by Teneiro.

Epilogue
Cammy has been arrested and is being brought to the precinct. Teneiro thanks Edgeworth and gives him a suitcase. Franziska is already booking her departure, though Edgeworth intercepts her before she boards.

Franziska's off to track down leads about the smuggling ring in another country, though she does state that she is working with another Interpol agent. He's very popular among Interpol and has the highest arrest rate of all investigators. She says that Edgeworth might meet him someday. Perhaps he will!

A cell phone rings. The other person on the line is a man called Ernest Amano, who Edgeworth seems to recognise. He asks Edgeworth to help him rescue his son who has been kidnapped. Looks like we have another case on our hands...

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/The Kidnapped Turnabout

Edgeworth has been called to help drop off the ransom to save the son of a man called Ernest Amano. With the money in his new suitcase and Gumshoe watching him from a distance, he arrives at the entrance of Gatewater Land. He is greeted by a mascot called Proto Badger. Noone knows that someone is being held ransom in this park. Suddenly, there is a call from the kidnapper. He or she instructs Edgeworth to move to the stadium.

At the stadium, he is instructed to go to the park's Haunted House. Broken mirrors line the walls and the usual fairground sound effects ring out constantly. A mascot lies at one end of the house's hallway. The kidnapper now instructs Edgeworth to go through the large doors. He is told to leave the money in the house's dining room and leave. But he won't be leaving very soon. Edgeworth decides to stay at the haunted house until the police arrive. Suddenly, the mascot at the back slowly rises. The figure of the Proto Badger slowly sneaks up behind Edgeworth. It holds up a sword and...

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/The Kidnapped Turnabout/Part 3-1 - Beginning

Prologue
Following the introduction where, immediately after the previous case, Edgeworth was ambushed while providing ransom money to stop a kidnapping, Edgeworth comes to. It is raining, and someone is arguing about the ransom and police. It seems like we're now locked in in a storage room of some sort. Edgeworth recalls why he agreed to deliver the ransom money and introduces us to Ernest Amano, the director of the powerful zaibatsu, the Amano Group. Edgeworth is grateful to him as he helped Edgeworth in the past. His son, Lance, is already 20, but still got kidnapped.

Suddenly, there's another voice. A teenage girl hops down from the window. She calls herself the Great Thief Yatagarasu (although it's in the future for Edgeworth, this title was also mentioned in the first case), though her real name is Kay Faraday. She unties Edgeworth and you automatically talk to her:

 * Great Thief: Kay insists that she is the Great Thief Yatagarasu.
 * Yatagarasu: Edgeworth seems to know about a previous Yatagarasu. Kay claims that she doesn't steal ordinary things.

Kay asks for Edgeworth's name, after which she seems to remember something about him. Now that the introductions are settled, we can focus on escaping. The door is obviously locked, so that's not an option. Looks like the only way out is through the window that Kay came in from. Kay herself can't jump back up there, so we'll need another way.

Investigation: Isolation Room
Examine the mascot head with sunglasses. Kay recognizes it as part of the Bad Badger mascot costume, but why is the head the only part there? The Bad Badger's Head is added to the Organizer.

Now, examine the small white object on the tarp. It's Edgeworth's phone. We can contact the police to help us! Edgeworth calls Detective Gumshoe. After a brief conversation, Gumshoe is dragged away and replaced by a new person. He introduces himself as Shi-Long Lang, an agent of Interpol. Is he the one who Franziska was talking about yesterday? He blames Edgeworth for falling into the kidnapper's trap and says he can't help you escape as his team is hunting for the kidnapper. Edgeworth's phone then runs out of power. Seems like we're on our own again.

Examine the sign on the floor. The park is holding a Blue Badger photo rally. A prize is given to anyone who snaps a picture of all four badgers: the Blue Badger, Pink Badger, Proto Badger and Bad Badger. There's only one of each in the park. The Badger Photo Rally is added to the Organizer.

Examine the beam. There's a small hook there and the beam leads to the window, so it might be a way to escape! Kay tries to climb it but fails. That's not a usable escape route after all, but you get The beam I was tied to logic.

By now a new topic is open, so talk to Kay again:

 * The kidnapping: Kay confirms that there were two kidnappers in the other room. Now we can look through the slot.

Examine the hatch. The Open floor panel is held to the wall by a hook.

Next, examine the boxes. There's a costume of the Pink Badger in the lower right box. Edgeworth isn't very familiar with the badgers so Kay gives him the Blue Badger Bible, which is added to the Organizer. There are eight boxes, seven of which are empty, so there should be seven Costumes being used currently.

Now that you are in a close-up view of the boxes, examine the key at the left edge. We could probably use this Tiny key to open something in this room.

Examine the lockers. Edgeworth and Kay could escape if they can climb up the Lockers, but they are too high to reach. If we were to get to the top, we would need some footholds.

Go into Logic mode and connect The beam I was tied to with Open floor panel. The panel was held open by a hook attached to a beam. There is a beam with a hook in the room we're in, so is there an escape hatch here too? In fact, there is, just hidden under the tarp, so examine it. Seems like an Underground entrance, but it's locked, of course. Go back into Logic mode and connect Tiny key with Underground entrance. The key should unlock the panel lock, and it does! Kay dives in but falls to the ground as the ladder slips. There's machinery in the basement, but no exit that can be seen. We do know one thing, however: the Underground ladder is merely propped to the floor, not attached. Finally, connect Underground ladder with Lockers. We can use the ladder from the basement to climb to the top of those lockers. Freedom!

Bad Ending One: If you run out of ideas, or logic in this case, Edgeworth and Faraday decide to give in and wait for the police to rescue them.

Shi-Long Lang
It seems like we were trapped in the underground floor of a building in the wild west themed area of the theme park. Gumshoe comes and meets up with us. After a short scene, we're officially introduced to Lang, the man who took our call back at the storage room. With him is a mysterious woman called Shih-na. He and Edgeworth exchange business cards. It seems like he really is the agent Franziska was talking about. He was really close to the late Agent Hicks and is a little sad about his murder. He really doesn't like prosecutors, and won't even let Edgeworth investigate! Maybe we can find something out about him if we talk to Gumshoe:

 * Agent Lang: Agent Lang seemed to appear out of nowhere after Gumshoe called the precinct for backup. Interpol agents don't investigate normal domestic cases, so why is he here?
 * Next step: Gumshoe gets into a slight argument with Kay. Nothing useful for us.

Since we still can't go anywhere, talk to Kay:

 * Next step: She is still talking about stealing something.
 * One and only one: Kay says she's after the truth. Edgeworth recalls that seven years ago there was another Yatagarasu who found evidence of corrupt dealings and made them public. The thief seemed to just infiltrate the companies and disappear, leaving a card with the mark of the three-legged raven behind. Is Kay really the next Yatagarasu...?

Ernest Amano then arrives and apologizes for Edgeworth being kidnapped. It seems that Edgeworth is grateful to him, as he helped introduce Edgeworth to the law office and study the justice system of another country. He was a friend of Edgeworth's mentor, Manfred von Karma. He is in a pretty bad situation, with his son still kidnapped and the ransom money stolen. You can now talk to him:

 * The kidnapping: It happened out of the blue. Ernest received a phone call and heard the pleas for help from his son at the other end.
 * Lance Amano: Lance is 21 this year, and is kind and attractive. Ernest also has a butler called Oliver Deacon, though he's nowhere to be seen. He's very close with Lance, so he might know who would want to kidnap him.
 * Oliver Deacon: Oliver was a very loyal butler, though Ernest hasn't heard from him after his recent leave. His relatives and friends hadn't seen either. Suspicious...

Well, we can't just idle around here forever. Let's begin our investigation, whether the Interpol agent lets us or not!

Bad Ending Two: If you run out of logic during this investigation, Lang forces Edgeworth to leave. Despite his protests, Lang tells Edgeworth to go back to the courtroom.

Investigation: Wild, Wild West Area
Gumshoe is dragged away by the precinct detectives to work for Lang, so we only have Kay as an assistant. We can't leave this area, so let's see what we can learn about around here. Try to talk to the Blue Badger mascot. Initially, it just dances around, though Kay pulls off the costume's head revealing... Mike Meekins? Edgeworth remembers him as a witness in a past case.

Who's Mike Meekins? Well, if you played Rise from the Ashes in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Turnabout Succession in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, you'll know him better, but watch out for his overbearing personality and megaphone!

Meekins says that he only saw a Blue Badger when he was standing here. That's contradictory with something we already know, though. Present the Badger Photo Rally. There can only be one of each badger in the park at any time, and Meekins is already wearing the Blue Badger outfit! If what Meekins said was true, there must have been A 2nd Blue Badger walking around in the park, but why?
 * Mike Meekins: Meekins is not currently a police officer, though he still wishes to become a detective.
 * Blue Badger: Meekins was ordered by Agent Lang to disguise himself as the Blue Badger to catch the kidnappers.
 * Any clues?: Meekins had been standing here for an hour around the time Edgeworth woke up. He could've seen the kidnappers escape! He claims he didn't see anything, however.

Examine the area around the pipe. There are a bunch of footprints around here, though we don't know which sets belong to the kidnappers. You get the What kind of shoes? logic.

Go into Logic mode and connect Costumes with A 2nd Blue Badger. Since there are seven costumes in use currently, the kidnappers must have been disguised as them! You get the Costumed escape logic. The stolen costumes are that of a Blue Badger, a Proto Badger and a Bad Badger. The kidnappers could still be wandering around in the park wearing those outfits. The Stolen Costumes are added to the Organizer. Now connect What kind of shoes? with Costumed escape. Since the kidnappers were disguised as badgers, we should follow the costume's paw prints.

Examine the area where you found the footprints again. There are two sets, one leading to the west and on to the wooden floor and one headed east to where Meekins is standing. He's not the kidnapper, so maybe one of them walked to the garage. It is currently closed, so examine it to open it. Inside there is... a dead body! Ernest recognizes him as Oliver Deacon, his butler. The set of footprints ended here, so is Deacon a kidnapper? You get the Victim was kidnapper? logic. Looks like he died from a bullet wound. The Preliminary Findings are added to the Organizer.

Agent Lang could be here any minute, so we'd better find out as much as we can before he arrives. Examine the victim's wound. It looks like he was shot in the abdomen and the shoulder, but Edgeworth deduces that he wasn't shot twice, but rather, a single bullet was shot through his abdomen to his shoulder. For a bullet that penetrated the whole way, there is very little blood on the crime scene... The Preliminary Findings are updated in the Organizer. Next, examine the pendant. There's a name on the back of it: Colin Devorae. But that isn't the victim's name... Deduce the pendant and present the Preliminary Findings. The victim's name is Oliver Deacon, not Colin Devorae. Mr. Deacon's Pendant is added to your organizer. With that, our investigation is complete!

Bad Ending Three: If you run out of logic here, Lang disrupts the investigation and tell Edgeworth to go back to the courtroom.

Meekins's Arrest
A woman then walks into the area. She introduces herself as Lauren Paups, the girlfriend of Lance. She came here after she heard about the kidnapping.

Agent Lang returns and sees the crime scene. He detains Meekins as a suspect right away. That's a bit hasty, but Lang insists that it's the way he stops crime. His line of logic is faulty, and Edgeworth must prove Meekins' innocence.

Argument: Shi-Long Lang's Logic
Lang says that he follows the "detainment philosophy" developed by Zheng Faian philosopher Lang Zi thousands of years ago, which is still used by Zheng Fa's police today. Let's put that philosophy to the test.

Rebuttal: Shi-Long Lang
Press statement four. Meekins's gun is the only one that has been fired. Meekins claims he lost his gun! That's not good. You get a new statement:

 * Officer Meekins ambushed the victim in this garage and killed him here with his gun!

Present the Preliminary Findings at this new statement. There is simply too little blood at the crime scene, so this garage might not be the crime scene at all. Lang asks us another question: why was Officer Meekins standing right outside the location of the victim's body all this time? Meekins claims he simply took a walk, but it's obvious he's hiding something.

Testimony: Mike Meekins
The Blue Badgermobile, that's new. Meekins explains that it's a mobile souvenir shop. The Blue Badgermobile is added to the Organizer.

Rebuttal: Meekins's Testimony
Present the Blue Badgermobile at the third statement. The Blue Badgermobile is parked in the garage, so he couldn't have been using it. Meekins claims that he lost it, so he went back to find it in the garage, meeting Edgeworth there. Lang doesn't believe the story at all and arrests Meekins regardless. There is no way Edgeworth can stop him since he is the one who calls the shots!

Bad Ending Four: If you can't win this argument once you run out of logic, Lang arrests Meekins on the spot. Poor Meekins.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/The Kidnapped Turnabout/Part 3-2 - Middle 1

Even though we're chased out, Edgeworth insists on finding the true murderer. Our first order of business is to find the real crime scene. Gumshoe arrives and informs us about a witness at the stadium. There's no one here... except Ema Skye, someone you may know from the first game and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. She was a witness in one of Edgeworth's cases and is now studying abroad to become a forensic scientist, so she's only in the country for spring break. Talk to her:
 * Ema Skye: Ema mentions something about a footprint spray. That could be useful.
 * The witness: Ema didn't witness anything, though she did say that Gumshoe had called her there.

Examine the Pink Badgermobile parked nearby. The Pink Badger runs to the stadium. There's nothing to do but to talk to her. It turns out that she is none other than Wendy Oldbag, a character from the first and second games! Watch out for her - she loves talking but loves Edgeworth more!

 * Wendy Oldbag: Nothing useful to you. If you want to know more, the first two games will allow you to know her better.
 * The witness: Oldbag says she did see the murder!

Well, that's a major scoop! Best find out exactly what she saw.

Rebuttal: What Oldbag Witnessed
Press on all the statements. Oldbag doesn't remember any of the men's features because she thought they were too uninteresting. Kay now shows us a weird new gadget that she claims is her secret weapon. After inputting some information into the device, she projects the image over the whole area. She introduces us to Little Thief, a projection device that can simulate any situation! This could show errors in a witness' testimony.

Investigation: Stadium Re-creation
An investigation in a re-creation is the same as normal. Just walk up to things and examine them. Examine the victim's body. Edgeworth says that this scene contradicts the facts of the murder. Present Mr. Deacon's Murder Notes. There's no blood on the floor, but Wendy isn't someone who would lie to Edgeworth. You get the Why is there no blood? logic.

Now go into Logic Mode and connect Victim was kidnapper? with Why is there no blood?. If the victim was a kidnapper and was shot while wearing a costume, it can explain why there isn't any blood on the crime scene. If only we could prove that he was wearing a costume. We need to find footprints and we can't see any. Well, there is one person who could help us out with that. Talk to Ema.

 * Footprint analysis: Ema agrees to help us find footprints using her science kit.

After some spraying, Ema detects footprints. They aren't visible to the naked eye, though they are when wearing Ema's special glasses. The victim was wearing a costume at the time he died. Victim's Costume is added to your Organizer. Kay updates her re-creation with the footprints, and that marks the completion of our investigation! Edgeworth notes that there's something that he's suspicious of. We hear Oldbag's testimony again.

Rebuttal: What Oldbag Witnessed
Present the Victim's Costume at statement 2. How did she know that the victim and the killer were men if they were wearing costumes? And why didn't she mention the costumes in her testimony? Oldbag says she made the mistake as she witnessed it from the second tier seats of the stadium. She says she couldn't see what they looked like because they were in the stage's shadow. You get the In the shadow of the stage logic. Now we can resume our investigation.

Investigation: Stadium Re-creation
First, examine the stage. It looks like they broke the stage down since you last saw it. You get the Stage was packed up logic. Now go into Logic Mode and connect Stage was packed up with In the shadow of the stage. If Oldbag's testimony was true, the murder must have happened before the stage was broken down. Kay updates her re-creation and... aha! A blatant contradiction! Unless the killer could move through solid metal, he couldn't have been standing there. Oldbag claims that she did see the killer standing on the stage when they shot the victim. Kay updates the re-creation again. There's something not right about this scene, but our investigation is cut short as Agent Lang arrives. He instructs his men to recreate the scene in reality and still asserts that Officer Meekins was the killer.

Rebuttal: Agent Lang's Logic
Present Mr. Deacon's Murder Notes on statement 3. The bullet entered his body in the abdomen and exited through the shoulder. The bullet couldn't have traveled like that if the killer was standing on the stage! There is one parameter that was flawed in the virtual re-creation, and that was The killer's and victim's locations. The victim was the one standing on top of the stage! As the footprints now lead to where the killer is standing, it can be safe to assume that the killer was also wearing a badger costume. That means that the murderer could have been another kidnapper. Agent Lang still doesn't accept Officer Meekins' innocence, though.

Rebuttal: Another Bit of Proof
Present the Blue Badgermobile at the second statement. The Blue Badgermobile could not have left the marks behind the stadium. Present the Blue Badgermobile's tires as proof. The tires don't have any mud on them! The Pink Badgermobile and Proto Badgermobile could've made those marks, but since Oldbag probably isn't related to the case, that leaves the Proto Badgermobile as the one responsible for leaving those marks. Suddenly, a man walks near the stadium calling for help before collapsing. It's Lance, the kidnapped man! He says he was held at the Wild, Wild West Area and escaped through the underground floor. He also recalls that the kidnappers were wearing costumes when they escaped and that one of them was a woman. Agent Lang once again chases us off the crime scene and keeps Oldbag and Ema for questioning. The chapter now ends.

Bad Ending Five: If you run out of logic here, Lang accuses Edgeworth of interfering on the case. Also, he orders his men to arrest Meekins of his crime.


text:
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/The Kidnapped Turnabout/Part 3-3 - Middle 2

If you exit to the right of the Wild, Wild West Area and return to the bridge at the Gatewater Land entrance, you can see three very familiar figures sitting on a boat on the river, and the Chief of the Criminal Affairs with his daughter.
 * Easter Egg

We're once again kicked out of the investigation. Mr Amano and Ms Paups meet up with us, having learned that Lance is safe. Talk to Mr Amano first.
 * Lance Amano: Mr Amano has a letter to pass to his son after the police have finished questioning him.
 * Letter: It appears that Lance has received yet another love letter. Well, not quite. It's from a Viola of Tender Lender, both names which should be familiar to players of Trials and Tribulations. The Love Letter is added to your Organizer.

Now talk to Ms Paups.

 * Lance Amano: Ms Paups is so close to Lance because her father used to work for Mr Amano. He flew around the world on an airplane called Pegasus but disappeared ten years ago while flying it.
 * About the case: Ms Paups claims she knew about the kidnapping from her intuition.

The killer must be another kidnapper, so there should be one place where we can gather more clues, which is the Kidnapper's Hideout. Agent Lang should be done investigating the area, so we should be able to enter the hideout. The officer guarding it lets us in and gives us a document about the victim. The victim's real name wasn't Oliver Deacon! He was actually Colin Devorae and was convicted of a crime ten years ago, having broken out of jail since. The Colin Devorae Dossier is added to your Organizer. The officer says that the door had to be broken down by about ten officers, which means Agent Lang must have already done his investigation here, though there might be some clues left.

Investigation: Kidnapper's Hideout
First, examine the door that you came in through. You enter a close-up scene. Examine the door handle. The handle is in a bad state thanks to the previous break-in, but the door lock is somehow undamaged. You get The door leading outside logic. Next, examine the grey objects lying on the floor. It appears to be a broken prop sword, but why is it broken in the first place? You get the Broken prop sword logic.

Examine the blue bin at the bottom. It's where the old badger costumes are thrown away. Edgeworth notes that they are disposed of in pieces. You get the Costume pieces logic.

Examine the table for another close-up scene. Examine the cups to get the 3 cups logic. Then, examine the three chairs to get the Folding chairs logic.

Now go into Logic Mode. First, connect The door leading outside with Broken prop sword. The sword must've been used to jam the unlocked door, resulting in the handle being broken but not the lock itself. The Broken Prop Sword is added to your Organizer. Next, connect Folding chairs with 3 cups. Three cups used, three folding chairs, and three costumes stolen would mean three kidnappers, though Lance only saw two.

Suddenly, a Proto Badger head pops out from the hatch. He says that this underground passage is used by staff members and other badgers. After going into the Isolation Room, he says that the Bad Badger costume is gone, even though he was told that only three costumes were stolen.

Talk to the Proto Badger. (If you pay attention, you may notice he's actually the hotel bellboy from the first game in disguise!) Both costumes ought to be in the Isolation Room normally because the Bad Badger only appears during a certain event at a set time where he appears to fight the other badgers and get apprehended. That means that four costumes were stolen, but not necessarily four kidnappers stole it. There's one thing that shows the fourth kidnapper doesn't exist. Present the Pink Badger costume. The kidnappers stole a second Bad Badger costume instead of simply stealing the Pink Badger costume, but why? You get the Unaccounted for Bad Badger logic.

Go into Logic Mode and connect the Costume pieces with Unaccounted for Bad Badger. The second Bad Badger costume is right in the bin, though it lacks the head. You go into a close-up view of the costume. First, examine the right hand. A piece of cloth is ripped off. Deduce the right hand and present the Blue Badger Bible. The costume is also missing its gun. The Proto Badger explains that the gun is just a model but can fire blanks. The Missing Model Gun is added to your Organizer. And with that, your investigation is complete!

Bad Ending Six: If you lose your logic here or at the stadium, Lang arrests Meekins despite Edgeworth's protest.

A new discovery!
Upon exiting the hideout, Gumshoe runs up to us. He informs us that a Blue Badger costume has been found at the entrance. If we hurry, we could get there before Agent Lang does!

The chapter now ends.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/The Kidnapped Turnabout/Part 3-4 - End 1

It turns out that the spare Blue Badger costume was hidden in some tall grass before it was discovered. Since Agent Lang has yet to arrive, we can investigate the costume. Examine the silver object in its neck hole. It looks similar to the victim's pendant, but before we can figure anything out, Agent Lang interrupts us. He says that it's a piece of decisive evidence, as it has the name "Lauren" engraved in the back. Ms. Paups's Pendant is added to your Organizer. That means that Lauren Paups is one of the kidnappers, which she confesses to. Agent Lang now shifts his suspicion of the murderer to Ms Paups, as his team found Officer Meekins' gun that didn't show signs of having been fired. Ms Paups confesses to this too! This case can't be that simple, so she must be hiding something! Edgeworth requests that she give a testimony.

Rebuttal: Ms. Paups's Confession
Press her fifth statement, and raise an objection when prompted. Ms Paups says that Mr Deacon probably planned to kill her from the very beginning, though he couldn't have. Raise an objection and present Ms. Paups's Pendant, then present Mr. Deacon's Pendant. They have a similar colour and are made of the same material, so they could be one pendant. Connecting them makes a Pegasus pendant. Now, for extra proof, present the Colin Devorae Dossier. Oliver Deacon was just an alias of the victim, used to avoid capture after he broke out of jail, but there's one thing that holds special interest. Present the words sole daughter. Colin Devorae is Lauren Paups's father, so he couldn't have planned to turn on his own daughter. Lang thinks there's another possibility why Mr Devorae turned on Ms Paups.

Rebuttal: Another Possibility
Present the Stolen Costumes at the fourth statement. Four costumes were stolen by the kidnappers, though one is found at the kidnapper's hideout. That means there must have been a third kidnapper. The third kidnapper could be the mastermind of the kidnapping. When asked who he is, present Lance Amano's profile. Lance doesn't seem to recall a third kidnapper, so he could be simply faking the kidnapping. Agent Lang and Lance himself say that Lance wouldn't have seen all the kidnappers while he was kidnapped. Lance tries to recall his kidnapping.

Rebuttal: Lance's Testimony
Press the fifth statement to get a new piece of testimony about Lance's escape.

 * The door leading outside was locked tight, so I had to use the underground passageway.

Present the Broken Prop Sword on this new statement. The door itself was unlocked - only the sword was jamming the door up until Agent Lang's men broke into it. Even if his hands were cuffed, Lance could easily have removed the sword. Lance must have locked himself in to pretend he was being held captive, but because he didn't have the key to the door, he had to use the prop sword. Agent Lang says that Lance doesn't have a motive to fake a kidnapping, but he does! Present the Love Letter. This love letter isn't a love letter at all, but a collection bill from a loan company. Lance was in quite a debt, so he had to fake his own kidnapping to get the money to repay it.

Lance confesses that he kidnapped himself, though he was later betrayed by Mr Devorae. The victim attacked Lance when he was alone, though Lance managed to subdue him. Then, he and Ms Paups escaped by wearing the costumes and getting away separately. Ms Paups wore the Blue Badger costume and escaped first, but Lance was attacked again by Mr Devorae. He then put on a Bad Badger costume and took the money. Lance contacted Lauren and warned her about the victim. Ms Paups still thinks that she killed her own father.

Rebuttal: Chain of Events
Press statement three. You get a revised piece of testimony.

 * But that Badger pointed the gun in his left hand at me, aiming to shoot me dead!

Present the Colin Devorae Dossier on this new statement. The victim was right-handed, so the person that aimed at her couldn't have been her own father! Agent Lang then says that the Bad Badger had a model gun in his right hand, so the victim could only have used his left hand to hold the real gun. If that's the case, then the Bad Badger must've been carrying the gun in his left hand and the suitcase with his right hand. There's an obvious contradiction here, so the only way to explain it is that Both are correct. There was a way for the Bad Badger to use both hands freely. Present the Bad Badger's Head. The head of the costume could have easily been matched with the body of another costume. Which one? Present the Proto Badger. The Pink Badger's body is a different colour and Ms Paups was already wearing the Blue Badger costume at the time, so the only possibility is that the person she killed was wearing a Proto Badger body.

Ms Paups says that Lance was wearing the Proto Badger costume. Lance was only pretending to be the victim so that Ms Paups would have thought that she killed the victim. There is only one reason Lance would want to do that, and that's because he was the murderer! Lance reveals that he is indeed left-handed, which matches Paups's testimony. Agent Lang says that Lance must know that the bullet could have passed right through his costume and killed him, and he probably did, so he did something to prevent him from being killed. Present the Missing Model Gun. The model gun has been ripped off of the disposed-of Bad Badger costume, and it can fire blanks. Lauren threw the gun into the sea, so there's no way to prove our case. We also don't know where the murder really took place. The murder must have taken place at an earlier time.

Lauren says that she witnessed the victim in a restrained state, so he couldn't have been killed any earlier. Or could he?

Rebuttal: What Ms. Paups Saw
Press statement three. You get a new piece of testimony.

 * The captive had a Bad Badger's head on, so I'm absolutely sure it was Mr. Deacon.

Press this new statement and raise an objection. Present the Bad Badger's Head and, when asked to choose who it could have been instead, select Miles Edgeworth. The kidnappers abducted Edgeworth to make him look like the victim! If Edgeworth was mistaken for the victim by Ms Paups, that means the victim had already died by then. Lance then let Paups escape first before removing the Bad Badger head and staging the murder. However, since Ms Paups never actually checked who the captive was, she couldn't verify that Edgeworth was there either!

Bad Ending Six: If your logic runs out here, Lang arrests Ms Paups, telling Edgeworth that his logic needs work. Ms Paups says she'll pay for her actions.

Another costume
Out of nowhere, Mr Amano arrives to make up for his son's actions by presenting a new piece of evidence. It's the missing Bad Badger costume! Mr Amano says that he fished the costume and the gun from the sea, and explains that he has gotten permission from the Chief of Police to do as he pleases. He had it privately examined by a group of forensics experts, who confirmed that the blood was the victim's and the fingerprints on the gun belonged to Ms Paups.

Examine the neck hole of the head. There are pieces of a mirror in it, but why? The Mirror Fragments are added to your Organizer. Then, examine the gun on the badger's abdomen to add the Revolver to your Organizer. Finally, examine the bullet hole. The hole has burnt marks around it, which means that the victim was shot point-blank. The Victim's Costume is updated in your Organizer. It's up to Lance to tell us his version of events again.

Bad Ending Seven: If you run out of logic after Mr Amano finds the missing costume, Lance decides that Edgeworth is wasting everyone's time. Mr Amano decides to let the court go through its process, leading to Lance being acquitted of charges due to a lack of evidence.

Rebuttal: Decisive Evidence
Press Lance's first statement and Raise an objection. Ms Paups' prints couldn't have been on the gun. Present either the Stolen Costumes, the Bad Badger's Head, or the Blue Badger Bible. Lauren Paups was wearing a costume while she was at the stadium, so how could she have left prints? Her fingerprints could have been left when she touched it when the other kidnappers went to collect the ransom money. We also have proof that the whole murder is, in fact, set up. Present the Victim's Costume and then the bullet hole. If the victim was shot from below the stage, there shouldn't have been any burn marks!

Agent Lang now challenges you to give the true crime scene. The only place Lance and the victim were alone was when they went to collect the ransom. Present the Haunted House, then present the Mirror Fragments. The fragments were found in the costume, and the only place they could have come from was the Haunted House. Agent Lang states that there is another broken mirror at the hideout, and although it is much less likely for the fragments to get into the costume, we can't prove that the fragments came from the Haunted House!

If we can prove the murder happened at the Haunted House, we can prove Lance's guilt! Unfortunately, Mr Amano states that he bought the deed to the Haunted House while we were arguing, so we can't investigate it. That's a big problem for our case...

The chapter now ends.


text:
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/The Kidnapped Turnabout/Part 3-5 - End 2

Looks like all hope is lost. Mr Amano has denied us permission to investigate the Haunted House. Ms Paups will be arrested while Lance will get away with murder. The truth will be lost to us all. It's the end... or is it? Kay reminds us that she still has the Little Thief! That way, we can recreate the scene at the Haunted House based on its blueprints.

The first thing we should recreate is the moment Edgeworth was ambushed. When he was dropping off the ransom, he saw a badger mannequin lying at the other end of the corridor. Once Edgeworth turned his back, he was struck from behind. Looking at a map, as the hallway is a dead end, that can only mean that the assailant was waiting to attack him at point B! The costumed attacker lay in wait disguised as an unsuspicious prop at the end of the corridor, then ambushed Edgeworth as he turned to leave. Lance claims that he never went into the Haunted House, just waited outside, so that means that the victim, who was wearing the Bad Badger costume, is Edgeworth's attacker. As the Bad Badger had a model gun attached to its right hand, the weapon must have been held in the left hand.

Investigation: Haunted House Re-creation
First, examine the mirrors. There's a lot of mirrors in here, and some of them are already broken, so it isn't surprising that there were some shards found in the victim's costume. You get the Mirror shards logic. Kay notes that the mirror shards here, however, are thicker and have some sort of design at the back. The Mirror Fragments are updated in your Organizer.

Now examine the Bad Badger behind Edgeworth. Edgeworth doesn't know what weapon was used to hit him, though he remembers getting hit at the right side of his head. There could be a weapon in the hallway that the assailant could have used to knock out Edgeworth. Present the Broken Prop Sword. The attacker could have used it to attack Edgeworth, then took it to the hideout to hide the evidence, which is why it was found there. We can run one test to determine whether it was used to attack Edgeworth. The attacker couldn't have left any prints as he was a costumed kidnapper, so you should Test with Luminol. Edgeworth's wound bled slightly after he was struck, so there could be some blood on the sword. After testing, there is a small patch of blood on the left side. The Broken Prop Sword is updated in your Organizer. The re-creation is also updated to include the sword.

There's something wrong about this scene, though. Going into a close-up, deduce the sword and present the Broken Prop Sword. If the sword was held in the left hand, it would hit at the right side, so the bloodied left side could only have resulted from a right-handed swing. Kay changes the re-creation to reflect this new fact, but we know there will be another contradiction. Present the Missing Model Gun or the Blue Badger Bible. There is already a model gun attached to the Bad Badger's right hand, so the Bad Badger couldn't have been the attacker. This leaves Lance as the culprit, and he confesses to it. Even though he's left-handed, he used his right hand on purpose to pin it on the Mr Devorae.

Now the re-creation is updated once again, with the Proto Badger as the attacker, which matches the opening cinematic of this case quite well. However, Agent Lang interrupts us before we can investigate. He reveals that the Haunted House had a trick called the "disappearing badger". A Blue Badger doll was placed at that very end of the corridor as the disappearing badger, so the attacker couldn't have been hiding there! The Gatewater Land Pamphlet is updated in your Organizer. The re-creation is also updated once again. There is something blatantly wrong about the scene, as the Blue Badger simply turns into a Proto Badger.

Examine the Blue Badger doll at the end of the hallway. There's something peculiar about it. Deduce the belt and present the Blue Badger Bible or Badger Photo Rally. The belt seems to be mirrored from the actual Blue Badger costume, but Kay says that it was an exact re-creation of the picture in the pamphlet. Why is the Blue Badger dressed up like that? You get the Blue Badger in reverse logic.

Go into Logic Mode and connect the Mirror shards with Blue Badger in reverse. The Blue Badger doll Edgeworth saw was actually a mirrored image. The corridor is not actually straight - it forms an L-shape at the end of the hallway, where the real doll lies. It is reflected by the mirror at the bend of the hallway. As the house is dark, the trick is concealed perfectly. There could be one reason why the park built the house in this way. Present the Gatewater Land Pamphlet. The disappearing badger is one of the seven wonders of the attraction, but Edgeworth had no trouble seeing the badger. There is a trick that the someone could have used to make the doll disappear, and that is to Move the mirror-wall. When the badger doll is visible, the mirror is at its normal location. When the doll disappears, the mirror wall simply moves to close the end with the badger doll, revealing an empty corridor behind it. That is why the mirror fragments had a pattern behind them, to blend in with the wall!

It also presents a new hiding place for the attacker. Present the corridor behind the mirror. The assailant only had to wait behind the mirror where Edgeworth couldn't see him, then strike by moving the mirror away. However, since we have some of the mirror fragments, the mirror wall must be broken in the real Haunted House. As they were found in the victim's costume, it means the victim was there when the mirror broke. Edgeworth also recalls the sound of glass breaking as soon as the phone call with one of the kidnappers ended.

Kay recreates the scene with the mirror wall. Before Edgeworth entered the dining room, the kidnappers were hiding behind the mirror wall. After he entered the dining room, the wall broke and the kidnapper's hideout was revealed. The kidnapper then had to hide at the end of the hallway with the doll. There is another contradiction here. Present the empty straight corridor. When Edgeworth went out of the dining room, he still saw a badger at the end of the corridor, when there shouldn't be anything there. Present the Victim's Costume or Mr. Deacon's Murder Notes. That badger could be the dead body of the victim! Edgeworth didn't hear the gunshot itself because there were a bunch of other sound effects playing in the house at the time.

With the evidence stacking up against him, Lance finally breaks down and confesses to the murder. He says that Mr Devorae suddenly turned on him and straddled him to the ground. Lance stole the gun from him and shot him, breaking the mirror wall. Agent Lang now calls for the arrest of Lance... and his father! He reveals that he came to the country to investigate Ernest Amano, whose company scandal, an internal smuggling ring discovered ten years ago, triggered the "KG-8 incident". The mastermind that was arrested was Colin Devorae, the victim! Lang suspects that Mr Amano was the real ringleader but placed the blame on Devorae, so after Devorae escaped from prison, he chose to hide him from the police in exchange for his silence about the true ringleader. However, he is interrupted by none other than Jacques Portsman, the prosecutor for the case, with his top detective, Buddy Faith.

The two suspects are still arrested, and Lang reveals that he suspected that Edgeworth was the corrupt prosecutor that worked for Mr Amano. After leaving, his assistant Shih-na reveals that Agent Lang belonged to the House of Lang in Zheng Fa. They were revered and held high positions among the police force there. However, a prosecutor once tampered with the evidence a Lang detective found, ruining their credibility and honor, which is why Agent Lang hates prosecutors and the court system. Portsman also leaves with his partner as Edgeworth plans to head back to his office, leading to the first case of the game.

What REALLY Happened
Ten years ago, the Amano Group was revealed to have an internal smuggling ring which caused the KG-8 incident. The group's secretary, Colin Devorae, was arrested as the ringleader, but some agents suspected that it was company head Ernest Amano pinning the crime on him. Devorae soon broke out of jail, bringing with him a guard's gun. He took on the alias of "Oliver Deacon" and went back to his former employer to seek hiding. Ernest Amano promised to hide him as long as he remained silent about the true ringleader.

Ernest's son, Lance Amano, knew about "Deacon" being the missing father of his girlfriend Lauren Paups, so he used Paups as a hostage to force Deacon to cooperate in his staged kidnapping so he could pay back his $1 million of debt. As Deacon was still a felon, he couldn't reveal his identity to his daughter. All three of them staged the kidnapping together, pretending to hold Lance hostage in Gatewater Land. Edgeworth, as the protégé of Amano's close friend Manfred von Karma, was asked by Amano to drop the ransom that would save his son. After arriving, Edgeworth was requested by one of the kidnappers to drop the ransom money at the Haunted House. The kidnappers had already made their way there after stealing the park's badger costumes, with Lance as the Proto Badger and Deacon as the Bad Badger. They hid behind the mirror wall that was used to create an illusion as part of the attraction. As Edgeworth was dropping off the ransom in the dining room, Deacon turned on Lance to make him leave his daughter out of the crime. Lance was straddled to the ground but managed to take Deacon's gun and fire a lethal shot that went straight through his body and broke the mirror wall behind them.

Having accidentally committed murder, Lance needed to pin the crime on someone else. First, he used Devorae's dead body to create the illusion that the badger Edgeworth saw was still there while he hid in a separate corridor hidden from view. As Edgeworth turned to leave, Lance slowly sneaked up behind him, grabbing a prop sword and striking Edgeworth, knocking him out. Lance then had Edgeworth tied to a pole and put Devorae's Bad Badger costume on him.

Lance moved the dead body with the Proto Badgermobile and hid it in the garage in the Wild Wild West area while moving an unconscious Edgeworth to the Isolation Room. He had Paups look at Edgeworth and made her believe that he was Devorae to fake the time of the murder. He also tore off a model gun from another Bad Badger costume to give to Paups to defend herself.

Lance made Paups escape early in a Blue Badger costume before taking the badger head off of Edgeworth for himself. He lied to her that Devorae had escaped and put on the Bad Badger head on. He jammed the door with the prop sword he attacked Edgeworth with and escaped through the underground tunnels. He then pretended to be Devorae walking on the stage, having its shadow obscure the details of his costume. Once he saw Paups, he aimed at her with his gun. Paups, thinking that Devorae was going to shoot her, fired a blank at Lance. Lance pretended to collapse and Paups ran away in fright.

Epilogue
After all that has happened, Kay is still annoyed that neither Edgeworth nor Gumshoe remembers her. What does that mean? She presents a white cloth which jogs both of their memories. Just when you think we're done with flashbacks, we get one more, this time taking us back seven years to the time Edgeworth first met Gumshoe and Kay.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/Turnabout Reminiscence

Kay Faraday's piece of cloth has made Edgeworth recall a fateful case seven years ago. You see a scene at the courtroom, with two lawyers and a defendant, who you have never met before. It seems like the defendant is charged with murdering someone from a certain embassy, by request of the Yatagarasu. He accuses the prosecutor of being the Yatagarasu, prompting the judge to replace the prosecutor with another one. And that new prosecutor... is Miles Edgeworth!

Case Information

 * Time of Crime: September 10, 3:30 PM
 * Location: Courthouse - Defendant Lobby 2
 * Victim: Mack Rell and Byrne Faraday
 * Cause of death: Gunshot and Stabbing
 * Murder weapon: Handgun and Knife

Prosecution Lawyer
Miles Edgeworth Edgeworth, seven years in the past. This case is supposed to be his first as a prosecutor. He respects his mentor, Manfred von Karma, very much. He is much more focused on perfection now than his present-day self, due to the influence from his mentor. He even has Manfred's finger wag!

Victim
Byrne Faraday The previous prosecutor of the trial Edgeworth is taking over, who was accused of being the Yatagarasu. He appears to have been stabbed by Mack Rell.

Mack Rell The murderer of Deid Mann and the defendant of the trial. He was found dead shortly after accusing Faraday of being the Yatagarasu.

Suspect
Dick Gumshoe Detective Gumshoe when he was still a rookie. This is his first major case since his promotion to detective. He is as clumsy as ever, and even gets accused of the double murder.

Witness
The Judge The wise elderly man who oversees trials, and hands down verdicts at the end. He is a bit absent-minded, and easily swayed by people's arguments, but is said to always hand down the correct verdict in the end.

Other Characters
Manfred von Karma Edgeworth's mentor. He is a very strict prosecutor and strives for perfection, but his reputation was soiled by Edgeworth's own father. There have been constant rumors that von Karma forges evidence to get his perfect verdict.

Franziska von Karma The daughter of Manfred von Karma. Franziska is no different than her future self, having obvious disdain for Edgeworth and a tendency for whipping others. She uses a riding crop and not a whip as her weapon of choice. She is a bit short for her age, and she doesn't like that fact to be brought up.

Kay Faraday Byrne Faraday's daughter. Kay has a very close relationship with her father and has a Promise Notebook full of the promises she made to him. She can be a bit cheeky at times.

Deid Mann Witness to a smuggling ring, who was killed in order to silence him. This trial was held to prosecute his killer, Mack Rell.

Manny Coachen A Cohdopian Embassy staff member suspected of being involved in a smuggling group and killing a woman named Cece Yew. He was found Not Guilty due to a lack of evidence, and so cannot be convicted of the same crime again due to the rule of double jeopardy.

Calisto Yew The defense attorney for this trial. She tends to break out in fits of laughter from the mildest things, like Edgeworth's serious attitude.

Tyrell Badd The detective who was supposed to be called as a witness during the trial. He is an acquaintance of Byrne Faraday and has worked with him in a lot of cases.

Yatagarasu A mysterious thief who steals information on corrupt dealings and makes them public.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/Turnabout Reminiscence/Part 4-1 - Beginning

First Case
Being set seven years ago, Edgeworth notes that this case is his first assignment, to replace the prosecutor who was accused by the defendant of being the Yatagarasu. Ace Attorney veterans will remember that Edgeworth's actual first case was set nearly six months later, against another defense attorney and about a different murder, so something must have happened during this case.

A man enters, who fans of the first game will recognise as Edgeworth's mentor and Franziska's father, Manfred von Karma. He demands perfection from Edgeworth to land the defendant in prison. Looks like this could be the first time we play the role of a prosecutor in an Ace Attorney game! Talk to von Karma. He says that the defendant claimed that the prosecutor, Byrne Faraday, instructed him to commit murder. We have a whole hour of recess to prepare for the case.

 * Today's trial: A murder was committed on September 8th in front of the Cohdopian Embassy. The victim is Mr. Deid Mann, a staff member at the embassy. The defendant is Mr. Mack Rell, who was arrested as he possessed the murder weapon and was caught on the embassy's security camera. The Yatagarasu had also successfully infiltrated the Cohdopian Embassy around this time. At first, the defendant claimed to be the Yatagarasu but didn't kill anyone. Once Prosecutor Faraday presented the security footage where the defendant shot the victim, he admitted to the murder but claimed that the prosecutor is really the Yatagarasu and instructed him to do it. Von Karma also mentions that this case is has been considered by some to be the "second KG-8 incident".
 * "2nd KG-8 incident": Von Karma gives us a newspaper dated three years back. The KG-8 Incident Overview is added to your Organizer. The Amano Group was involved in a smuggling ring, and the ringleader, Colin Devorae, was arrested. A woman named Cece Yew was the sole witness of the ring but was killed before she could provide any testimony. The killer was suspected to be a Cohdopian Embassy staff member named Manny Coachen, who was found not guilty due to insufficient evidence. The prosecutor for that case was also Byrne Faraday. The victim this time is also a witness of the smuggling organization and was also murdered before he could testify.
 * Yatagarasu: The Yatagarasu stole something from the Cohdopian Embassy and sent it to the police. That was actually the first time the Yatagarasu incriminated itself by leaving evidence behind. Manfred suggests we ask Mr. Faraday about the Yatagarasu, as he is in charge of the case as well.

Suddenly, a young girl enters the lobby and ask Edgeworth to exchange her pile of coins for a dollar. She does seem a bit familiar, but now's not the time to think about it. The prosecutor substitution paperwork has been completed and the trial is just about to start.

Empty courthouse
There is nobody in the courtroom except for the prosecution and the bailiff - not even the defense attorney is here. The Judge now arrives, saying that he heard a popper go off during the recess. Mr. Faraday didn't even transfer his evidence to us, so how are we supposed to start the trial?

Then, none other than Detective Gumshoe barges in, saying that both the defendant and the previous prosecutor have been found dead in Defendant Lobby No. 2!

Two deaths in one
Outside the door to the defendant's lobby, a tall detective blocks our path. He denies us entry to the crime scene. The defense attorney is also here, and Gumshoe soon catches up to us. We'd better start asking around to find out what happened. Talk to the detective. He introduces himself as Detective Tyrell Badd. Faraday requested him to testify about the case, which is why he was already near the crime scene when Edgeworth arrived.

 * Crime scene: The prosecutor was stabbed to death holding a gun in his hand, while the defendant was shot to death with a bloodied knife in his hand. Detective Gumshoe was guarding the lobby entrance the whole time and saw no one enter, which means that the two victims killed each other!
 * Trial witness: Badd was called as a witness because he worked on the Yatagarasu's case, so he can identify if Faraday has the Yatagarasu's characteristics.

Now talk to the defense attorney. Her name is Calisto Yew, and she tends to break out with laughter a lot.

 * Crime scene: Yew doesn't know anything about the murder. She's only there after hearing the news that Faraday was murdered.

Finally, talk to Gumshoe. Edgeworth and Gumshoe have never met before this and Gumshoe has just become a detective.
 * Crime scene: Gumshoe was guarding the entrance to the lobby when he heard the gunshot. He saw Detective Badd rush to the scene and they both entered the lobby and discovered the murder. Other than the gunshot, Gumshoe did not hear anything. Det. Gumshoe's Testimony is added to the Organizer.

A bailiff now arrives and says that a Cohdopian Embassy staff member by the name of Manny Coachen has requested to see Calisto Yew. They leave while von Karma arrives. He knows Badd well and is about to let us investigate before we're interrupted by a familiar voice. A younger Franziska is on a vacation from Germany. She sounds as competitive as ever. Von Karma leaves Edgeworth and Franziska with the investigation, with Detective Badd overlooking them.

Investigation
Franziska challenges Edgeworth to a competition to find who is worthy of the von Karma name, to which Edgeworth accepts. Detective Badd enters and puts Gumshoe in charge of guiding us. Gumshoe will be your partner from now on. Detective Badd reveals that the gun used for the murder was taken from Mr. Faraday's bag, being one of the pieces of evidence presented at the trial earlier. He says that he knows nothing about the knife, though since Rell was brought in by the police, that must mean the knife belonged to Mr. Faraday as well. Badd also theorizes that Faraday attacked Rell first, who then counterattacked.

Examine the table. The plastic bags and tea set seems undisturbed, even though a fight just happened. You get the Neat and tidy table logic.

Next, examine the open window. The bars attached to the window prevent anyone from trying to escape by jumping out. You get the Lobby No. 2 Window logic. Then examine the television. Gumshoe starts messing with it before it suddenly turns on.

Examine the dead bodies to enter a close-up scene. Examine the bags near the body. There are plastic bags used for storing evidence scattered around the crime scene. You get the Plastic bags strewn about logic. Examine the gun to get the Handgun in your Organizer, then the bloody knife to get the Knife in your Organizer. Finally, examine Faraday's left hand. There seem to be some ink blotches on his hand. You get the Ink stain logic.

We can't find out more with the bodies positioned like this, so after a bit of persuasion from Edgeworth and a bit of lifting from Gumshoe, we can now examine the scene with their bodies face up. Examine the object in Faraday's pocket. Mr. Faraday keeps a fountain pen in his breast pocket. You get the Fountain pen in pocket logic. Now examine Rell's bullet wound. There are no burn marks around the wound, suggesting that Rell was shot from quite a distance away. The Handgun is updated in your Organizer. Now examine Faraday's knife wound. Edgeworth wonders if the wound matches the knife, so Badd then asks a labbie to verify that. Edgeworth theorizes that Faraday took the gun and the knife from his bag, then aimed the gun at Rell and fired. Rell managed to snatch the knife and stab at Faraday, and both of them died on top of each other. There is still something not right about these chain of events, though. The Crime Scene Notes are jotted down in your Organizer.

Now go into Logic Mode and connect the Ink stain with Fountain pen in pocket. The ink could have come from the fountain pen, which the lab tech confirms. That must mean that Faraday used his fountain pen to write with his left hand, so he was left-handed. Mr. Faraday's Fountain Pen is added to your Organizer. Now connect Neat and tidy table with Plastic bags strewn around. There is a pile of plastic bags neatly stacked on the table, though a bunch of bags are scattered around on the floor. One bag has some blood on it, which the lab tech verifies as Faraday's blood. The Plastic Bag is added to your Organizer.

There appears to be nothing left to investigate, though Edgeworth spots a contradiction in the crime scene. Deduce the gun and present Mr. Faraday's Fountain Pen. Mr. Faraday was left-handed, so why would he hold a gun in his right hand? The only logical conclusion is that someone else was involved in this murder. With that, your investigation is complete!

Detective Badd now gives us the autopsy report. It reveals that Rell lived for a short while after being shot, while Faraday died instantly from the stabbing. The Crime Scene Notes are updated in your Organizer. Franziska concludes that she has found the whole truth concerning the case, but we know that there are still some contradictions.

Bad Ending One: If your logic fails here, von Karma comes out and criticizes Edgeworth of not finishing the investigation in three minutes! Same with Franziska, and he asks both to leave. Talk about a speedy investigation in that time limit!

Rebuttal: What Happened
Press statement 3. Franziska hesitates while explaining her theory, so we may find a hole in her argument in that part of her theory. You get a new statement.

 * They struggled, and Mr. Rell used the last of his strength to counterattack Mr. Faraday.

Present Det. Gumshoe's Testimony at this statement. How could Gumshoe not hear a thing when there was a fight going on behind the door he was guarding? Franziska now assumes that there wasn't a fight and theorizes that Rell stole the knife from Faraday's bag and stabbed him, getting shot by Faraday afterwards. Reply Yes, something is off when prompted and present the Crime Scene Notes. Mr. Faraday couldn't have killed Rell if he was stabbed first!

We're back at our original theory, but there's a contradiction in the crime scene that keeps up from getting the truth, and that is The order the bodies fell. If Rell managed to stab and kill Faraday instantly before dying himself, how did he end up below Mr. Faraday's body? Although it seems unlikely, Rell must have died before Mr. Faraday! Franziska objects, saying that her theory is still correct.

Rebuttal: What Happened, Pt. 2
Press statement 3 to get a new statement.

 * That fact indicates that they attacked each other at the same time from close range.

Present the Crime Scene Notes or the Handgun at this new statement. The gunshot wound did not leave any burn marks, which means that Rell was shot from at least a few yards away! Franziska wants us to explain who attacked first, so reply Neither man. Since claiming Faraday or Rell attacked first will only cause more contradictions, there must be a third person who killed both of them then set the crime scene up. Franziska says we're missing evidence, but we can totally prove that there was a third person.

Present the Handgun or the Plastic Bag. Either item points to the presence of a third person. If there wasn't a struggle in this room, there shouldn't be plastic bags strewn around. Using the knife and the bag, the killer could've collected the blood in the bag and scattered some other bags near it to make it look like there was a struggle.

Bad Ending Two: If you lose in this argument, Franziska declares herself the winner as who'll earn von Karma's creed. Some popularity contest!

Ms. Yew interrupts us with an objection and requests that Detective Gumshoe is arrested. As the Judge claims that he saw no one in the hallway at a certain point during the recess, Gumshoe could not be guarding the door, and just might be killing the people he was guarding. This could render his testimony, and our train of thought based on it, completely moot. Edgeworth wants to ask one last question before Gumshoe is arrested. Ask him about the Motive for the murders. Gumshoe asserts that he has nothing against Faraday, but Ms. Yew presents a possible motive.

Rebuttal: Gumshoe's Motive
Press statement 5, and choose to Raise an objection. We haven't heard anything about Gumshoe's Motive for killing Mr. Rell. Ms. Yew says that she has no idea, but claims that if Gumshoe has a reason to kill one of them, he has a reason to kill both.

Rebuttal: Motive To Kill The Men
Present the KG-8 Incident Overview at the first statement. There is one man who has a reason to kill both men, and he is Manny Coachen! Detective Badd says that Coachen was in the viewing gallery watching the trial during the murder, leaving Gumshoe as the only suspect. There's nothing we can do to save him.

Talk to Yew.

 * KG-8 Incident: Ms. Yew claims that she doesn't know anything about the incident other than what was made public, but there is a very clear connection between her and the incident.

Present the KG-8 Incident Overview and select that she is connected to it Through the victim. The victim's name was Cece Yew, who shared a surname with Calisto Yew. Now she will tell the truth.

 * KG-8 Incident: Cece Yew was Calisto's sister who was killed by Manny Coachen. Mr. Faraday originally had enough evidence to convict Coachen, but a man in black made off with the evidence. Since Manny Coachen was tried before and acquitted, he can no longer be tried again.

 * Manny Coachen: Ms. Yew confirms that Manny was watching the trial, thus having a solid alibi.

Having obtained all of this information, we are one step closer to finding out the culprit. Gumshoe is hiding something, even though it'll incriminate him as the murderer.

The chapter now ends.

Bad Ending Three: If you fail to counter Yew's argument, Badd asks Gumshoe to come along quietly.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/Turnabout Reminiscence/Part 4-2 - Middle

With the suspect and prosecutor of the case both dead, the trial of Deid Mann's murder will be prematurely dismissed. Edgeworth still wishes to continue the investigation, to which Manfred approves. Franziska reminds you that the competition is still on. You won't get anything useful from Gumshoe, so talk to Calisto Yew. She says that she was in the Defendant Lobby No. 1 discussing something with Detective Badd when she heard the shot, so we now know that both Detective Badd and Ms. Yew have an alibi.

 * Detective Badd: Detective Badd was also involved in the KG-8 Incident. He was in charge of protecting Ms. Yew's sister, but he failed.
 * Time of the murder: Both Badd and Yew were in the No. 1 Lobby, which makes them unrelated to the crime.
 * Mack Rell: Ms. Yew only defended Rell because he claimed to be the Yatagarasu. She had no intention of defending him for the murder but soon found out that he was not the real Yatagarasu.
 * Yatagarasu: The Yatagarasu steals information about corrupt dealings from companies.

Now that Detective Gumshoe has calmed down, you can talk to him.

 * Motive for murder: Detective Gumshoe mistakenly reported at his old post instead of the Criminal Affairs Department during his first day and got scolded for being late by Mr. Faraday.
 * During the recess: Detective Badd ordered Gumshoe to stand guard in the hallway at around 3:20 pm.
 * Next step: Gumshoe just received his Annual Bonus Check and cashed it. He had no cash at all before he cashed the five dollars. The Annual Bonus Envelope is added to your Organizer.

Present Det. Gumshoe's Testimony. Gumshoe asserts that he saw no one in the hallway. Suddenly, the little girl from before sneaks up and kicks Edgeworth in the legs! She drops something while running away. The Swiss Roll is added to your Organizer. We know all we need from Gumshoe, so head to the hallway through the left door.

Investigation: Hallway
Both Detective Badd and the Judge are in the hallway. Talk to the Judge first.

 * Time of the murder: The Judge had to go the restroom during the recess. The window at the men's bathroom gives a good view of the hallway by another window at the end of the hallway. He saw Gumshoe buying something from the vending machine but he disappeared when the Judge looked again.

Now talk to Detective Badd.
 * Detective Gumshoe: Detective Badd needed someone from the precinct to protect Faraday, since he was just accused of being the Yatagarasu, and got Detective Gumshoe. They met up on the first floor and he took Gumshoe to the hallway. Upon entering, he saw Ms. Yew, who told him that Faraday had just dragged Rell into the Lobby No. 2, and told them not to disturb the two. He ordered Gumshoe to stand guard and heard the gunshot about thirty minutes later in Lobby No. 1 with Yew. Gumshoe never left the hallway, as confirmed by a guard standing at the entrance of the hallway.
 * The gunshot: Detective Badd rushed to the scene in less than a minute as soon as he heard the shot.

When prompted about what is interesting here, choose Time he heard the gunshot. Detective Badd heard the gunshot right before the trial. Det. Badd's Testimony is added to your Organizer.

Examine the vending machine. It sells an assortment of snacks, including Swiss rolls. You get the Vending machine logic. Examine each snack for some humorous dialogue, but there's nothing else we can find out from this machine right now. Back up and examine the window. Then examine the pink object. It appears to be made of rubber. You receive the Pink piece of trash logic. Examine the cactus. It has sharp needles, enough to prick Egdeworth's hands. You get the Windowsill cactus logic.

Pan down and examine the ants. They are gathered around a chunk of Swiss rolls. You get the Swiss roll crumbs logic. Examine the handprint on the bench. After some forensic work, you discover it belongs to Detective Gumshoe! Det. Gumshoe's Fingerprints are added to the Organizer.

Now go into Logic Mode and connect the Vending machine with Swiss roll crumbs. There's a strong possibility that the crumbs came from a Swiss roll bought from the vending machine in the hallway. Detective Gumshoe might have been eating a Swiss roll and accidentally dropped some crumbs on the floor. Det. Gumshoe's Fingerprints are updated in your Organizer.

If Detective Gumshoe did buy the Swiss rolls, that creates a contradiction. Examine the vending machine. Deduce the Swiss roll price and present Annual Bonus Envelope. Detective Gumshoe didn't have any money before he cashed in his $5 bonus, so how did he buy a $6 Swiss roll? The Swiss Roll is updated in your Organizer.

Now that that is settled, go back into Logic Mode and connect Windowsill cactus with Pink piece of trash. We saw a pink balloon earlier and it might have blown up because it struck the cactus. The Balloon Piece is added to your Organizer. With that, our investigation is complete!

There's is another thing we need to do, which is double-checking the Judge's testimony. Move to the courtroom. Looks like we're going to do something that most lawyers can only dream of: cross-examining the Judge!

Bad Ending Four: If your logic fails here, Badd forces Edgeworth and Franziska to leave the investigation.

Rebuttal: What I Saw At Recess
Present Det. Gumshoe's Fingerprints at statement 4. Detective Gumshoe is likely to have sat down at the hallway bench near the window to eat the Swiss roll he just bought. The hallway window is quite high on the wall, so Gumshoe wouldn't be seen if he was sitting on the bench! The Judge now says he recalled something.

Rebuttal: What I Saw, Pt. 2
Press statement 2. The Judge says he went to the restroom about twenty minutes before the court was to start. You receive a new piece of testimony.

 * Let's see... I looked into the hallway about 20 minutes before we were to reconvene.

Present Det. Badd's Testimony at this new statement. Detective Badd heard the gunshot right before the trial started, but the Judge claims he heard it twenty minutes before. Present the Balloon Piece. The gunshot the Judge heard was actually a balloon popping!

Edgeworth now recalls the small exchange with the little girl. She had a balloon with her and exchanged a dollar bill for a few coins from Edgeworth. It might just tie everything in this case together...

The Judge attempts to release Gumshoe from arrest, but Edgeworth says that his innocence is still not completely certain. We can now interrogate Gumshoe. It is obvious he's lying and we'll have to drag the truth out of him.

Rebuttal: While I was on Duty
Press statement 3. Gumshoe insists he was standing guard the whole time but we know that's not true. You get a new piece of testimony.

 * And until I heard the gunshot, I didn't take a single step away from the Lobby No. 2 door.

Present the Swiss Roll or Det. Gumshoe's Fingerprints. If Gumshoe was standing guard the whole time, he couldn't have bought a Swiss roll or dirtied the bench. Gumshoe confesses that he bought a Swiss roll to eat but there's still something incorrect. Even though it is very clear he couldn't afford it, Gumshoe asserts that he bought the Swiss rolls himself.

Present the Swiss Roll. This roll is dropped by the little girl from before. There are two rolls in one package, so he could've given it to the little girl. That same girl tries to sneak up on Edgeworth again but Edgeworth dodges. She now introduces herself as none other than Kay Faraday, Mr. Faraday's daughter.

Talk to Kay and present the Swiss Roll. She did drop it and was saving it for her dad all along, before breaking down into tears. Edgeworth offers his cravat to dry Kay's tears but she blows her nose on it! Talk to Kay again.
 * Your father: Kay admires her father as a prosecutor and keeps a notebook about the promises she aims to achieve. The Promise Notebook is added to your Organizer.
 * Dick Gumshoe: Kay did, in fact, meet Gumshoe in the hallway.
 * Swiss Rolls: Kay wanted a pack of Swiss rolls but only had a dollar.

Edgeworth now lends the dirtied cravat to Kay (which will get returned seven years later).

Now to find out why Gumshoe chose to hide the fact that he didn't tell us about the Swiss rolls. It should be pretty obvious right now why he is lying and that is to protect Kay. Present the Promise Notebook. One of the promises Kay made with her father is not to take things from a stranger. Gumshoe is merely trying to cover for Kay breaking one of her promises!

Gumshoe finally tells the truth. He was hungry while on guard duty but the cheapest item on the vending machine costs $6 when he only had $5. Kay also wanted to get a pack of Swiss rolls to share with her dad but only had about a dollar in coins. They pooled their money together to buy a pack of Swiss rolls. Gumshoe promised not to tell the others about Kay breaking her promise. They both sat on the bench to enjoy the Swiss rolls but Kay popped her balloon on purpose to surprise Gumshoe, although this caused him to drop his roll. She later tried to give Gumshoe her roll to make up for it but ended up kicking Edgeworth for questioning Gumshoe.

Ms. Yew nows enter the courtroom. She says that because we've proven that Gumshoe was in the hallway the whole time, he is the only one who could've committed the murder! If we can't clear his name, Gumshoe will surely get arrested. There is one last place we haven't investigated yet, and that's the Defendant Lobby No. 1.

The chapter now ends.
