Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/Turnabout Ablaze/Part 5-7 - End 3

We've established that Mr. Coachen was killed in the neutral area and moved to Allebahst and Babahl, but we have yet to pinpoint the exact location of the murder and prove that Mr. Alba did kill him. Edgeworth requests that Alba testifies about his movements before the murder. He claims that all he did was watch the Steel Samurai show.

Rebuttal: The Steel Samurai's Show
Press statement 3 to get Alba to elaborate on one of the scenes.

 * One of the scenes was the never-before-seen "Early Summer Rain Jab" move.

Present the Samurai Spear at this statement. It was needed to perform the "Early Summer Rain Jab", but since Larry bent it, the finishing move was changed to the "Steel Samurai Sushi Slash". That means that Alba did not watch the show tonight!

Alba now gives us a simple reason why he made that mistake. He needed to go to the bathroom during the show, coincidentally by the time the scene started. Even if it is an obvious excuse, we have absolutely no way to disprove it!

Another Hold it! echoes across the hall, this time from Larry. He says that Alba is a true Steel Samurai fan, mentioning how he knew about the "Early Summer Rain Jab" move, saying that it was decided right before the show started. The move's name was decided five minutes before the show, but as Larry's spear was already bent at the time, they had to change it. This means that Alba could only have known about the move right before the show. When asked how, choose You saw it. Alba saw the name of the move on the whiteboard in the backstage waiting room, which means he was there at some point during the show! Another piece of evidence is also related to the waiting room. Present the Pushcart. The pushcart was left in the waiting room until it was pushed on-stage at the end of the show, after which it was wheeled into the Allebahstian embassy. That means that the killer must've visited the waiting room sometime during the show.

Alba says he did visit the waiting room but insists that it has nothing to do with the murder. He claims that he wandered into the room while going to the bathroom, and just happened to see the name of the move. We don't have any evidence to disprove that, and Agent Lang says that his men had already thoroughly investigated that room but found nothing. Is this really the end? A Hold it! is called out again, this time from Ms. Oldbag. She wants to give Edgeworth a present, which turns out to be... a box of Samurai Dogs. She said that the box had a special red dot on the fan that looked like the Japanese flag, but tasted the same as the others when she sampled it.

Edgeworth recalls that a pile of Samurai Dogs were piled up in the waiting room, but he knows that a "Rising Sun Dog" doesn't exist. You get the Rising Sun Dogs logic. The Samurai Dogs had to be piled into the pushcart to move them into the embassy. You get the Samurai Dogs logic. As we had deduced, the killer moved the body using the pushcart. You get the Body in the pushcart logic.

You enter Logic Mode for the last time. It's time to connect these final pieces of logic which will lead us to the truth! Connect Samurai Dogs with Body in the pushcart. The killer had to remove the Samurai Dogs in the pushcart to make room for the body, so a bunch of them were piled up in the waiting room. You get the Samurai Dogs were removed logic.

Connect the Rising Sun Dogs with Samurai Dogs were removed. If the red substance on this box was filled in when the killer was removing the boxes to make room for the killer, we can prove that the murder did happen in the waiting room.

There is one spot on this box of Samurai Dogs we just obtained that will be the coup de grace for Mr. Alba. Examine the red spot. A rising sun package of Samurai Dogs never existed, so this red spot is actually a drop of blood. Larry had to pile up the Samurai Dogs in the pushcart so that the Iron Infant could be seen by the audience when placed on the pile. The killer had to remove the Samurai Dogs in the cart to make room for the body and it was during this time that the blood made its way on to this box. All the other Samurai Dogs had been confiscated by staff members to hide evidence of the murder, but lucky for us, Ms. Oldbag managed to get to one before they did.

Although we still haven't proven that Alba killed Coachen, the blood on the box proves that the murder occurred in the waiting room. Alba says that even if the blood was Coachen's it will prove nothing. Even if the murder did happen in the waiting room, we have no way of proving that Alba was the killer! We have had so many moments of hope, but it looks like there really is no way to take down Quercus Alba.

One last Hold it! rings out, this time from a forensics technician. He says that the blood type on the box doesn't match the victim's! Alba states that it means this evidence is meaningless. It could've gotten on the box long before it reached the embassy.

It might seem like the end, but the Ace Attorney series has always been known to turn around the direst situations. What would that man do? As Ace Attorney fans know, turning your thinking around to look at the current situation from another angle or turn the case upside down is the key trademark of the series! If the blood did get on to the box in the dressing room, there is only one person it can belong to. Present Quercus Alba. If the blood was spilt in the dressing room and wasn't from Coachen, the only other person it could've come from is the killer!

Coachen probably fought back before he was killed and might have wounded Alba, possibly causing him to bleed. We can prove that Alba was bleeding around the time of the murder. Present '''Amb. Alba's Wound'''. While he claims that he got the wound after the show, we can disprove it with a simple test.

Alba says that his wound is a stab wound, and it isn't possible for Coachen to have carried a blade with him, especially with all the strict security. Since Alba could sneak a knife through security, Coachen must also have had some way of doing so. Present the Yatagarasu's Key. It can transform from a key into a knife, so it can easily be brought into the theater in disguise. Alba couldn't simply dispose of the key after the murder, so he cleaned the blade and placed in on Coachen's body so that when it was found in his office, it would open his private safe containing evidence of him smuggling. That's it, the finishing blow!

Alba reveals that Coachen had sought to seize control of the smuggling ring by trying to remove him from his position as an ambassador. He not only killed Coachen because of his betrayal but also to shut down the whole smuggling business. Regardless of what his motive was, he will have to face the courts, either in this country or in Allebahst. Alba finally breaks down, looking like the shrivelled, weak disguise he put up by the end.

Bad Ending Ten: If you fail this argument against Alba, he doesn't care about the truth and leaves for the airport.

What REALLY happened
Quercus Alba was the ringleader of a large multi-national smuggling ring, mainly involved in the counterfeiting of Zheng Fa bills using Cohdopian ink. His status as an ambassador granted him extraterritorial rights that let him and his secretary, Manny Coachen, counterfeit the bills using the embassy's printing press.

Around this time, Cece Yew, a witness of the smuggling ring, was killed by Coachen under the orders of Alba to silence her, setting off the first KG-8 Incident. Coachen was deemed "Not Guilty" of the murder as decisive pieces of evidence have been stolen. Colin Devorae, the secretary of Ernest Amano, CEO of the Amano Group that was working with the smugglers, was wrongly arrested as the ringleader.

Calisto Yew, a persona of one of the members of the smuggling ring, pretended to be the victim's sister. Together with the prosecutor and detective of the case, Byrne Faraday and Tyrell Badd respectively, they formed the Great Thief Yatagarasu, a group that stole the truth behind corrupt dealings and publicized it. Mr. Faraday decided to use an inverted version of the ringleader's directives card as their symbol to warn the smuggling ring. The respective talents of all three people made them very elusive. Calisto Yew scouted out the location of their target, Byrne Faraday infiltrated the target with his knowledge and Little Thief, while Tyrell Badd hid away evidence they left behind as the lead detective of the Yatagarasu case.

After several successful operations, Alba feared that he would be found out. He commanded "Yew" to eliminate Mr. Faraday, which she planned to do by framing him as the Yatagarasu and locking him up in jail. A miscalculation forced her to kill him and a witness herself, but she was revealed as the killer by Edgeworth. "Yew" managed to escape with the Yatagarasu's Key, but Byrne Faraday's daughter Kay preserved all of his and Yew's items.

Seven years later, Akbey Hicks, an Interpol agent tracking down the smuggling ring, was killed by Cammy Meele, another member of the ring. Yew, now posing as Shih-na, was also part of Interpol, trying to thwart another agent, Shi-Long Lang's attempts at tracking down the ringleader. She met Kay by accident and realized that she still had Byrne Faraday's Little Thief, so she planned to obtain it for the smuggling ring. Jacques Portsman, another member of the ring, was ordered to infiltrate Edgeworth's office where the KG-8 Incident files were stored to steal some incriminating evidence. Portsman failed to find anything before being discovered by his partner and killing him, but Detective Badd managed to get to it. He bumped into Edgeworth just as he was about to leave but left behind a trump card that Edgeworth could use to bring down the ringleader.

Having been informed about the Little Thief by Shih-na, Alba planned to murder Coachen, who had betrayed him, and pin the crime on Kay so that he could obtain the Little Thief for smuggling operations. He announced that the embassy had received a calling card from the Yatagarasu stating that it would infiltrate the embassy during the goodwill jubilee event and had the police department on guard duty.

That day, Ambassador Palaeno and Coachen were cleaning up Coachen's office for the event as Palaeno's office was under renovation. Coachen also requested DeMasque II to steal the Allebahstian Primidux Statue, which was the real artifact. The fake Primidux Statue, which also happened to contain the plates used for Coachen's counterfeit activities, had to be moved to the third floor from the fifth. The director for the arranged Steel Samurai show decided to name the final move as the "Early Summer Rain Jab" and wrote it down on the dressing room whiteboard. Larry bent his Samurai Spear by accident, so they were forced to scrap the name at the last minute. Larry also left the pushcart, stuffed with Samurai Dogs, in the dressing room.

Ambassador Alba began his plan. He met Manny Coachen in the dressing room backstage and killed him with a ceremonial knife snuck in with his bouquet. Before he could do that, however, Coachen fought back and stabbed him with the Yatagarasu's Key. Having killed Coachen, Alba emptied the cart of Samurai Dogs and loaded the dead body into the cart. A drip of his blood landed on one of the Samurai Dogs, right in the middle of the flag on the package. During this time, Shih-na started a fire at the fourth and fifth floors of the Babahlese embassy so that the reservoirs connecting both embassies would be emptied. She also set up piles of counterfeit bills in Coachen's office to prepare for the second fire.

After the show, the Steel Samurai pushed the cart, unknowingly along with the dead body, into Allebahst. There, Alba dumped the cart into the pool in Rose Garden. The fire-fighting efforts had drained both reservoirs which Shih-na and the cart were in. Shih-na moved the body and the murder weapon into Babahl. She waited for the pools to refill then carried the body to the office using the elevator.

Alba started preparing for his "speech" in his office. He launched a crossbow arrow to the secretariat's office along with a line of wire to the opposite side where Shih-na was waiting. They switched both Primidux Statues using the ceiling fans as pulleys. Alba fired off the second arrow to send the remainder of the wire to Babahl, where Shih-na hid it in a grandfather clock. DeMasque II ran into Ambassador Alba while trying to steal the statue and was killed with it.

The speech began. The lights, which had been elaborately set up, created a shadow that looked like the Yatagarasu, causing mass panic. At the same time, the second fire began and Kay witnessed Shih-na in a coat. Shih-na lured her into Coachen's office then accused her of being the killer. Kay was found innocent but the Yatagarasu's Key Alba put on Coachen's body helped the police to open the safe, which misled them into thinking that Coachen was the ringleader. And that's where we started from...

Epilogue
Edgeworth is now in the courthouse, preparing his trial on Quercus Alba. Alba is scheduled to be in another trial in Allebahst and the prosecutor will be Franziska. All of the cases we solved were connected to the smuggling ring. Cammy Meele supported smuggling operations using her job as a flight attendant, while Jacques Portsman manipulated trials involving the ring. Ernest Amano also used the connections of the Amano Group to assist the smuggling ring.

Both Allebahst and Babahl have been reunified as Cohdopia and Ambassador Palaeno has been selected as the official ambassador of Cohdopia. Kay and Agent Lang have made it to the courthouse to see the trial, with Agent Lang having a newfound respect for Edgeworth. Later, the trial ends and Quercus Alba is given the guilty verdict. Now enjoy the credits that ensue!

Later that evening, Edgeworth, Gumshoe, and Kay discuss the trial. The smuggling ring has begun to dissolve and with their job done, Kay wonders what to do next, believing she should form her own three-person Yatagarasu team. She begins to leave, agreeing with Edgeworth that they should work hard to create a world where the Yatagarasu isn't needed. However, she stops to take one final selfie to celebrate the moment! Edgeworth reflects. He admits he has a new case to look into now - not to simply find more people guilty, but to pursue the truth and use the law for good. For that is the new creed of someone who has chosen the life of a prosecutor.

Congrats on finishing the game! Now we can start praying for an English release of the sequel one day! If the next English title is more your thing, see Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies! If you ever need help, remember that StrategyWiki will always be here to lend a hand!

Gyakuten Kenji 2/Gameplay

Unlike in the main series Ace Attorney games, the main focus in Gyakuten Kenji 2 is on the investigation of crimes. You must investigate crime scenes to gather evidence, confront witnesses to build up information, and use logic to uncover the truth behind each case.

Investigations
During investigations, you must navigate the location, examining objects of interest to find clues, and talking to witnesses to gather information.

Examine
Approach an object of interest and press the A button to examine it (調べる shiraberu). Usually, examining objects will open a close-up view of the object, allowing you to examine it in further detail. Use the cursor to pinpoint areas you want to look at in detail, and press the A button to examine them. This is the main method of finding evidence to add to the Organizer, or finding logic which may connect to other information known about the case.

Sometimes, you will notice that something regarding an object or scene will contradict some part of the evidence you hold in your Organizer. When this happens, highlight the offending area with the cursor, and press the X button to deduce (推理 suiri) the contradiction. You must then present evidence that displays the contradiction (note that presenting the wrong evidence, or attempting to deduce contradictions based on the wrong object, will result in a penalty to your health bar).

Certain objects are examined in 3D space, instead of the standard flat 2D view. In the 3D viewer, use the D-Pad while holding the R button to rotate the object, and use the X button and the Y button to zoom in and out, respectively. Move the cursor with the D-Pad, and examine various parts of the object with the A button. The 3D viewer is usually used with items like weapons and containers.

Talk
Approach other characters and press the A button to talk to them (話す hanasu), or press the Y button to talk to your current partner. Talking to other characters will produce a choice of topics to discuss. Talk to as many people as you can, in order to obtain as many details as possible about the case. As your investigation in a given area progresses, new topics for discussion may become available. Topics that have been fully discussed will have a red tick mark beside them. You can also present evidence to people in order to hear their thoughts on it - this is sometimes necessary to advance the investigation. Unlike during rebuttals, there is no penalty for presenting irrelevant evidence here, so present as many things as you want to people.

Logic
During investigations, you will often uncover information which connects to other information known about the case. This information is known as Logic (ロジック Rojikku), and finding the connections between individual pieces of logic is vital to finding the truth behind each case. Press the L button to open the Logic menu, select two pieces of logic that you believe are connected to each other, and press the X button to try and connect them (まとめる matomeru). Finding the connections will uncover new evidence, or produce more pieces of logic that may connect to other information you know about the case. If there is no clear connection between the chosen pieces of logic, however, you will lose a small portion of your health bar, so think carefully before trying to connect information.

Testimonies, arguments and rebuttals
Testimonies, arguments, and rebuttals function much like testimonies and cross-examinations in standard Ace Attorney games. Press witnesses on dubious or unclear information, and present evidence whenever a testimony contradicts the evidence you hold in your Organizer.

Press
Press the L button to press (ゆさぶる yusaburu) a statement which you want more information on. Often, you must press certain statements in order to uncover new information that is required to proceed, and sometimes to make witnesses provide additional statements to supplement their original testimonies. There are generally no risks in pressing statements, so feel free to press as often as you feel is needed.

Sometimes, pressing statements will produce a multiple-choice question, which you must answer correctly in order to reveal the necessary information. More often than not, choosing the incorrect response will result in a penalty to your health meter, so think carefully before responding.

Present
Whenever you find that the information in a witness' testimony contradicts the facts, press the R button to open the Organiser, select the contradictory piece of evidence, and press the X button to present it (つきつける tsukitsukeru). Point out the contradictions in your witness' reasoning to advance your case and come closer to uncovering the truth. Presenting the wrong evidence, or presenting evidence on the wrong statement, will result in a penalty to your health meter. Occasionally, you will be required to present further pieces of evidence to back up claims made by presenting other evidence. Again, choose carefully, as presenting wrong evidence will result in losing a portion of your health meter.

Logic Chess
Logic Chess (ロジックチェス) is a new form of interrogating un-cooperative witnesses, based on the visual metaphor of a chess game. There are two Logic Chess sections in each chapter, and completing them is required to obtain new information relevant to the investigation.

During a Logic Chess section, you will usually be presented with a choice of questions about a topic pertaining to the current investigation. Evaluate whatever you already know about the topic at hand, and choose the correct question to proceed. Your "opponent" will then respond to your question. Based on their response, you can either press ahead with your attack (represented by playing one of your chess pieces), or choose to wait and see if they will respond further (まだ様子を見る mada yosu o miru). In general, when your opponent is being aggressive or un-cooperative, you should wait for them to cool off, and if they show an opening or weak point, jump on it and attack. Playing the correct moves will either defeat one of the opponent's pieces, thus weakening their resistance to your questioning, or unlock valuable clues, which will enable you to further your attack from a different angle. Defeat all of your opponent's chess pieces to "win", and convince them to tell you whatever information you need to know.

In Logic Chess, instead of the health bar, you will have a time limit, within which you must respond. Choosing to attack an aggressive opponent, or failing to strike at an opening, will result in a penalty to your time limit. If the time limit runs out, you will lose a small portion of your health bar, and must begin the Logic Chess section again. Defeat one of your opponent's chess pieces to refill the time limit.

Often, at the end of a given line of questioning, you will obtain clues that will be required to proceed with different topics. Whenever a clue must be used, Edgeworth will tell you. The "clue" answer will be marked by red writing and a higher-ranked chess piece (such as a knight or bishop), and is always the correct answer whenever it is available.

Organizer
The Organizer (捜査手帳 sōsa techō) contains information on all the evidence you've collected, and people you've met, while investigating a case. You can browse this information as often as you like - it's especially important to keep track of your evidence while listening to a witness' testimony or argument. Browse the stored information with the D-Pad, and press the A button to open a description of the selected object or person. When viewing certain pieces of evidence, you can also press the A button to examine them in closer detail - this includes looking at objects in the 3D viewer, or reading the contents of case files or notes.

Saving
You can press the Start button at any point during the game to save. You can also save at the end of a chapter or sub-chapter. When loading the game, you can start from your save point (中断したところから chūdan shita tokoro kara), or the beginning of the chapter (この章のはじめから kono shō no hajime kara).

Sebastian Debeste
Japanese: 一柳　弓彦 (いちやなぎ　ゆみひこ) Ichiyanagi Yumihiko

A clueless rookie prosecutor who insists that he is "The Best", but in reality is a complete cloud-cuckoo-lander. He seems incapable of following even the most basic of Edgeworth's trails of logic, and his often-baseless arguments are regularly destroyed by the far more capable Edgeworth.

Justine Courtney
Japanese: 水鏡　秤 (みかがみ　はかり) Mikagami Hakari

Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 1: Turnabout Target

A plane flies in, and lands on Gourd Lake. It's the private plane of President Di-Jun Huang of the Republic of Zheng Fa, who is beginning his visit to the country by giving a speech to the crowd, who have come from far and wide to Gourd Lake Park. As he speaks, however, a gun is readied...

"The battle is still not over! ... I declare, here and now! The Hammer of Justice shall be brought down upon all evil!"

Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 1: Turnabout Target/Beginning

After being called into action on such short notice, Miles Edgeworth (御剣　怜侍 (みつるぎ　れいじ) Mitsurugi Reiji) arrives at Gourd Lake Park, where he is greeted by his long-time assistant, Detective Dick Gumshoe (糸鋸　圭介 (いとのこぎり　けいすけ) Itonokogiri Keisuke). It appears there is currently no information on the President’s condition. As the two head for the crime scene, Edgeworth is interrupted by a woman from the audience. He ignores her, and continues on to the scene of the incident. Gumshoe fills you in on what is currently known. On the stage at Gourd Lake Park, President Di-Jun Huang (王　帝君 (おう　ていくん) Ō Teikun) of the Republic of Zheng Fa was giving a speech. Edgeworth mentions that the media had been making a fuss over his visit, and shows a Newspaper Article (新聞記事 shinbun kiji) about it, which is noted in the Organizer, where information on all evidence you find, and people you encounter, is gathered (if you've worked with the blue-suited defence attorney in the past, this functions identically to the Court Record). Suddenly, during the speech, a gunshot was apparently heard, and the President was escorted in his plane. The Chief Prosecutor then called for Edgeworth immediately, and the park was sealed off to prevent the assassin from escaping... and that's all the detective knows (it seems Gumshoe was called in on short notice, too).

From Gumshoe's story, it sounds like the President was targeted with a gun; you receive the Shooting of the President logic (大統領への発砲 Daitōryō e no happō). Gumshoe suggests you talk to the President's bodyguards for information on the security detail during the speech. To talk to someone, move beside them with the D-Pad or holding on the map icon in the direction you wish to move (hold the B button or the arrows around the map if you want to run), and press the A button or the "Talk" icon (話す hanasu) with the the Stylus. Now, talk to the bodyguards standing in front of the President's plane. They say that the President's two best guards were with him on the stage, and the rest were stationed around the stage and audience area, watching the crowd constantly; as Edgeworth summarizes, the Security during the speech (演説中の警備 Enzetsu-chū no keibi) was flawless.

At this point, the woman from earlier interrupts Edgeworth's train of thought again. He ignores her, but Gumshoe indulges her anyway. He explains that, after gathering enough information, you must try to find the connections between them. Begin by pressing the L button or touching the "Logic" icon (ロジック Rojikku) to open the Logic menu. Select the two pieces of Logic you can see a connection between with the D-Pad or the Stylus, and press the X button or the "Connect" icon (まとめる matomeru) to connect your thoughts. You'll need to do this frequently throughout the game, so get used to checking for connections between your information regularly. However, if you try to connect the wrong two pieces of Logic, your truth meter (the green "health bar") will go down. Deplete it entirely, and the truth is lost forever (and your game is over). Right now, you only have two pieces of Logic: Shooting of the President (大統領への発砲), and Security during the speech (演説中の警備). Connect these now. From this information, Edgeworth concludes that the Assassination attempt (大統領暗殺事件 Daitōryō ansatsu jiken) was premeditated.

Time for the first investigation sequence of the game.

Investigation: Gourd Lake Park - Stage / 捜査　～ひょうたん湖公園・水上ステージ～
Gumshoe suggests to begin by closely examining everything you can. To examine an object, stand beside it and press the A button, or touch the "Examine" icon (調べる shiraberu). You can also talk to Gumshoe by pressing the Y button, or touching the "Partner" icon. When speaking to people, when the option is available, you can also present evidence to them by pressing the X button or touching "Present" (つきつける tsukitsukeru), selecting a piece of evidence, and pressing the X button or "Present" again. You can press the R button or touch "Organizer" (捜査手帳 sōsa techō) to review the evidence you have collected.

First, examine the burst red balloon to the right of the stage. If you've played any previous games in the series, you've likely met some particularly big fans of this character - it's the Steel Samurai, Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo. Use the Stylus or the D-Pad to highlight the hole in the flag near it, and examine it. Edgeworth sees something intriguing about it, but Gumshoe doesn't get what he's trying to point out. Highlight the same spot again, and present it to him. From the burns around it, it appears to be a bullet hole, giving you the Flag with a bullet hole logic (弾痕のある国旗 Dankon no aru kokki). Now examine the Steel Samurai balloon. Apparently, this Ruptured balloon (割れたバルーン Wareta barūn) burst at around the same time the gunshot was heard. Edgeworth seems particularly annoyed that the Steel Samurai was "desecrated". The Steel Samurai Balloon (トノサマンバルーン Tonosaman barūn) is noted down in the Organizer. Now, use your Logic to connect the Flag with a bullet hole (トノサマンバルーン) to the Ruptured balloon (割れたバルーン). These facts create some ambiguity regarding the number of shots fired - either two or three.

Congratulations, you've completed the first investigation of the game!

The woman in the crowd from earlier now starts annoying Edgeworth again. Since his investigation is at an impasse, he needs to find some witnesses, so you'll need to speak to her. She introduces herself as Nicole Swift (速水　ミキコ (はやみ　みきこ) Hayami Mikiko), and immediately bombards Edgeworth with questions. Shouldn't it be the other way around...? But she refuses to tell you anything, unless Edgeworth answers her questions as well. As Gumshoe says, the situation appears to be at a "stalemate". The chess reference gives Edgeworth an idea, though. He envisions a chess game, and begins a new method of interrogation: Logic Chess.

Logic Chess: Nicole Swift / ロジックチェス　～速水　ミキコ～
In Logic Chess, you progress by selecting the response most appropriate to a given statement or mood from your opponent. You have a time limit, so you must choose quickly, or your opponent will grow impatient and end the discussion. Selecting the wrong response will incur a penalty to your time limit, and allowing the time limit to expire will reduce your truth meter. Usually, when your opponent is hot-headed and on the offensive, it's best to wait and see how they act, or if they leave themselves open or vulnerable, you should press on it and attack with your own "chess pieces". Sometimes, you cannot progress with a certain line of questioning until you gain clues from others. Attacking with the correct information at the correct time will break one of their chess pieces - defeat their queen to win.

After all that, she finally plays her recording. First, the President's speech plays, followed by the voices of two men in the audience, whom Edgeworth seems to recognise. Then, two gunshots. Nicole's Tape Recorder (速水の録音テープ Hayami no rokuon tēpu) is noted down in the Organizer. Since you now know how many shots were fired, you can deduce the location of the shooter. Present the left side of the audience area. The Bullet's Trajectory (弾丸の軌跡 dangan no kiseki) is noted in the Organizer. Now you know where you need to investigate next, and the audience is cleared out from the left side by Gumshoe and Nicole. Seems like Nicole's parka was dirtied in the process, though she says not to worry, since it's reversible.

Investigation: Gourd Lake Park - Audience Area / 捜査　～ひょうたん湖公園・観客席～
First off, examine the rubbish bin. Inside, Gumshoe finds a purse. You now need to examine it closely with the 3D viewer. Rotate objects by holding the R button and using the D-Pad, zoom in with the X button, and zoom out with the Y button. Move the cursor to what you want to examine with the D-Pad, and press the A button to examine that spot. You can also perform all of these actions with the Stylus. Examine the clasp to open the purse. Inside is a document detailing the President's Security Plans (警備プランの資料 keibi puran no shiryō), which are noted in the Organizer. Apparently the President isn't on good terms with the police of Zheng Fa, so he used a local security firm for his speech. But that's not the only thing in the purse - it also contains a gun; a Six-shot revolver (６連発の拳銃 Roku renpatsu no kenjū), to be specific. Next, you need to examine the revolver in closer detail.

Examine the gun's chamber. It's been fired twice, matching the number of gunshots you heard on Nicole's tape recording. Rotate the gun so the barrel is facing you, and examine the Laser pointer (レーザーポインタ Rēzā pointa). The Revolver (拳銃 kenjū) will be added to the Organizer. After a surprisingly quick fingerprint test, Gumshoe reports that no fingerprints were found on the gun, or its bullets. Talk to the grey-suited man by the cherry tree. He should be (but isn't) a familiar face to defense attorneys everywhere - the so-called "Rookie Killer", Winston Payne. It turns out his was the voice heard on Nicole's tape. Next, talk to the TV cameraman. Apparently, his footage was destroyed by stampeding crowds after the incident. Just when all seems lost, Edgeworth's self-proclaimed "assistant", Kay Faraday (一条　美雲 (いちじょう　みくも) Ichijō Mikumo) swoops in to save the day. She was in the crowd during the speech, and took a photo of the incident. It shows the President, flanked by his two bodyguards, Rooke (外城 Tojiro) and Knightley (内藤 Naitō).

Immediately, Edgeworth notices a contradiction in the photograph; time to deduce what it is. Point to the red dot on the President's forehead, and press the X button or touch the Deduce icon (推理 suiri). Now, you need to present evidence that shows the contradiction. Present the Newspaper Article (新聞記事 shinbun kiji). The Red mole (赤いホクロ Akai hokuro) on the President's forehead clearly shouldn't be there. Kay's Camera Data (美雲の写真 Mikumo no shashin) is added to the Organizer. Remember how that gun from earlier had a laser pointer? Use your Logic to connect the Laser pointer (レーザーポインタ) to the Red mole (赤いホクロ). It would seem that Kay's photo captured the moment the assassin took aim at the President. The Assassin's Revolver (凶器の拳銃 kyōki no kenjū) will be updated in the Organizer.

Kay now says that she took some more photos. She shows them to Edgeworth in order: first, from before the incident; second, during the incident (the one you just deduced); and third, after the incident, when the crowd was in panic. The two new photos are added to Kay's Camera Data. You now have a choice of which photo to examine in detail. First, look at the photo taken before the incident (事件の直前 jiken no chokuzen). Present the laser pointer beam, which can be seen in the lower right. It's coming from the person in the red hood, making this person the assassin. Next, look at the photo from after the incident (事件の直後 jiken no chokugo). Present the red-hooded person, who is just about visible, right of centre. The assassin tried to escape to the right side of the audience area, towards the Samurai Dog stand. After more members of the audience are moved away from the right side, the investigation can continue.

Investigate the Samurai Dog stand to the right, and examine the red object visible underneath it. It's the Red Raincoat (赤いレインコート akai reinkōto) you're looking for. Examine its right sleeve to receive the Raincoat sleeve (レインコートのソデ Reinkōto no sode) logic. Strangely, it seems like the sleeve is missing a button. Next, examine the small red object to the lower right. It's a small Red button (赤いボタン Akai botan). Use Logic to connect this to the Raincoat sleeve (レインコートのソデ). It's likely that the button came off because the assassin removed the coat in a hurry. Strangely, though, the left sleeve is undisturbed. Examine the left side of the coat (i.e. to your right) to open it, then examine the bloodstain visible inside. This means that the person you're looking for has an injury on their left side. With that, the investigation is complete, and Gumshoe goes off to look for someone in the crowd with an injury on their left.

A little while later, Gumshoe returns with someone matching the description of the assassin that has been built up so far. The man he brings in, "John Doe" (田中　太郎 (たなか　たろう) Tanaka Tarō), looks oddly familiar... Can you recognise who he is? He claims not to recognise the red raincoat, and that he has no connection to the incident. Of course, you want to hear his explanation (説明を聞く setsumei o kiku). This will be your first testimony of the game. Look for contradictions in a witness' statements, and present evidence that proves that they are lying by pressing the R button or the "Present" (つきつける tsukitsukeru) icon to open the Organiser, selecting the contradictory evidence with the the D-Pad or the Stylus, and pressing the X button or the "Present" (つきつける tsukitsukeru) icon again. If you don't have enough information to go on, press them for more details by pressing the L button, or the "Press" (ゆさぶる yusaburu) icon. Use the D-Pad or touch the arrow icons to scroll through statements. Remember that presenting with the wrong evidence or on the wrong statement will cause your truth meter to go down.

Rebuttal: Mr. Doe's Testimony / 追究　～田中の証言～
Present the Red Raincoat (赤いレインコート) on the second statement. Doe's wound has reopened, so the bloodstain is your proof. He continues to insist, however, that he is not responsible, but concedes that the raincoat is his. He gives you another testimony to try and prove that he is not the assassin.

Doe's Testimony: Mr. Doe's Testimony, Pt. 2 / 田中の証言　～田中の証言②～
Doe presents another explanation for Kay's photograph: what if he wasn't the only one in a red raincoat? Edgeworth isn't convinced.

Rebuttal: Mr. Doe's Testimony, Pt. 2 / 追究　～田中の証言②～
Press the third statement. Doe says that the bodyguard to the president's left, Ethan Rooke (外城　涯 (とじろう　がい) Tojiro Gai) was especially capable. He seems suspiciously knowledgeable about the bodyguards, though. He adds another statement to his testimony.

 * The man on the left side of the stage was exceptionally quick. A Mr. Ethan Rooke, as I recall.
 * ステージ左側の方が早かったですね. 確か、外城　涯様と仰られましたか.

Present the Security Plans (警備プランの資料) on this statement. How is he on first-name terms with Rooke, if even Edgeworth only knew his surname? He now claims to be an acquaintance of Rooke's, and you can't use that to prove he fired the gun. No matter what he tries, Edgeworth just can't pin any blame on him without enough evidence.

However, the rest of the crowd are growing suspicious of Doe, so he finally decides to "tell the truth". He claims to have seen another person in a red hood, pointing a laser beam at the president, and that he disposed of his own coat to avoid suspicion. He says that the other red-hooded person was standing behind Winston Payne, which matches up with Kay's photo. However, he says, there is a contradiction in Kay's photo, and Edgeworth holds the evidence that proves it. Present Nicole's Tape Recorder (速水の録音テープ). Someone, who should be clearly visible in the image, is missing. Who? Present Nicole Swift's profile (速水　ミキコ). Nicole was close enough to Payne to record him whispering, but her distinctive yellow/green parka is nowhere to be seen. It seems you'll need to get her to give her testimony.

Nicole's Testimony: Ms. Swift’s Testimony / 速水の証言　～速水の証言～
Edgeworth says he has already seen the contradiction. It's up to you to present the evidence that shows it.

Rebuttal: Ms. Swift’s Testimony / 追究　～速水の証言～
Present Nicole's Tape Recorder (速水の録音テープ) or Kay's Camera Data (美雲の写真) on the third statement. There's a specific pair of lines in her recording that prove she should be visible in Kay's photo. You are now asked to point out what part of Kay's photo lines up with Nicole's recording. Present the President's raised right arm. Nicole's tape was recorded at the moment the President raised his fist in the air, and immediately after this, Payne and the Chief Prosecutor can be heard whispering. Nicole claims that she has never worn the red raincoat you're holding. So, who did it belong to? You've already proven that John Doe (田中　太郎) owns it. So where did the other red hood come from? Well, remember when Nicole mentioned her parka was reversible? As Kay points out, the currently-hidden side of Nicole's parka is red! She weakly tries to claim that she wasn't wearing the red side of her parka, but folds easily after Edgeworth points out that if that was true, the red side of her parka should be dry.

Just as she is about to explain, she is interrupted by the arrival of Horace Knightley (内藤　馬乃介 (なあいとう　まのすけ) Naitō Manosuke), one of the President's bodyguards, and he has good news... and bad news. The good news is that the President is alive and well... but the bad news is that Ethan Rooke was killed ensuring his safety. Knightley suspects that Nicole was responsible, and wants to bring her in for questioning, but refuses to allow Edgeworth to investigate Rooke's death, or to question the President himself, as the case is to be taken over by the police of Zheng Fa. Just as it seems Edgeworth's investigation has come to a close, John Doe reveals his true colours - he is, in reality, the infamous professional assassin Shelly de Killer (虎狼死家　左々右エ門 (ころしや　さざえもん) Koroshiya Sazaemon), and has taken Knightley hostage at knifepoint! He says he was hired to kill the President - but he planned to use a knife, not a gun. De Killer's demand is to allow Edgeworth to continue investigating, as he wants to find out the truth of Rooke’s death. With his life at stake, Knightley is forced to allow the investigation to continue. "A stroke of luck" might not be the most appropriate phrase, but at least Edgeworth can now continue to search for the truth.

Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 1: Turnabout Target/End

"Thanks" to Shelly de Killer taking Knightley hostage, you are now allowed to continue your investigation, inside the president's plane. Rooke's body is lying on the floor in a pool of blood, and the president himself is nowhere to be seen. For now, you have no choice but to press ahead with the investigation. For this chapter, and for most of the rest of the game, Kay will work with you as your partner. Like with Gumshoe, you can ask her if she has noticed anything unusual, and present evidence to her to hear her thoughts on it.

Investigation: President's Plane - Office / 捜査　～西鳳民国大統領専用機～
Begin by examining Rooke's body. Examine the bullet wound to receive the Bullet that pierced through (連発した弾丸 Renpatsu shita dangan) logic, and the Crime Scene Notes evidence (死体の所見メモ shitai no shoken memo). Next, examine the opened briefcase to the right of the body. It's the same bulletproof case Rooke can be seen holding in Kay's photo. The Bulletproof Attaché Case (防弾アタッシュケース bōdan atasshu kēsu) will be added to the Organizer. Finally, examine the gun in Rooke's right hand. It's fully loaded, meaning Rooke never got a chance to shoot back at the assassin. Rooke's gun (外城の拳銃 Tojiro no kenjū) is added to your Logic. Now, use your Logic to connect Rooke's gun to Six-shot revolver (６連発の拳銃). The two guns appear to be the same model.

Next, examine the desk to the right. Examine the bulletproof vest on it to receive the Bulletproof vest logic (防弾チョッキ Bōdan chokki). Now examine the blue folder above it. Inside is a copy of the security plan - but something seems off about it. Highlight either the red or blue chess piece icons (the knight and castle, respectively), and deduce from your copy of the Security Plans (警備プランの資料) that the plans were changed the day before the incident - Knightley and Rooke changed positions. The plans were changed by order of the president, because de Killer tried to attack him two days ago while disguised as a bodyguard. The change of plans was done to prevent a similar plot by de Killer. This event also resulted in Knightley's neck injury - he cannot turn his head right. You receive the Knightley's position (内藤の立ち位置 Naitō no tachi ichi) logic.

Lastly, examine the security monitors to the upper right. Examine the stuffed toy to the left - one of the monitors appears to be missing. The Security Monitors (監視カメラのモニター kanshi kamera no monitā) are added to the Organizer. You can now use Logic to connect the Bulletproof vest (防弾チョッキ) to the Bullet that pierced through (連発した弾丸). You know of the bullet that deflated the Steel Samurai, the bullet that killed Rooke, and the bullet that struck the president, so it's reasonable to assume that two of those are the same bullet. Edgeworth suggests sending the bullet for ballistic marking analysis, but Knightley disagrees, saying the bullet was flattened when it struck the vest. The Bulletproof Vest (大統領の防弾チョッキ daitōryō no bōdan chokki) is added to the Organizer.

After this, de Killer claims to have "grown weary" of the investigation, and asks if there is anyone in particular you want to speak to regarding the incident. He's referring to the president himself, of course. However, the president refuses to show himself. Suddenly, the lights go out, and de Killer flees, deciding to leave the rest to you. Everything fades to black...

Edgeworth comes to a few minutes later. Apparently the police failed to capture de Killer again. De Killer also left you with a parting gift: his infamous Calling Card (カード kādo), this time without any drawings of defence attorneys on it. Why is he leaving this here if nobody died by his hand, though?

Meanwhile, the president has finally decided to grace you with his presence. He has been watching the investigation via his security cameras, but now, with de Killer gone, he wants you to relinquish investigative authority to the Zheng Fa police again. He refuses to give you an explanation, and forces you to hand over all of the evidence you have to Knightley. Clearly, he's trying to hide something, but without your evidence, there's nothing more you can do... or is there?

Rebuttal: President's Testimony / 追究 ～王の証言～
Present the Steel Samurai Balloon (トノサマンバルーン) on the third statement. It wasn't just any red balloon that burst - it was the Steel Samurai, Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo, and Edgeworth is keen to ensure that the president remembers that fact. It turns out that the Steel Samurai was drafted in as a last minute replacement, after the original red balloon burst, and the president was never informed. But surely he would have noticed just by looking at it...? He claims that his view of the balloon was obscured by a flag. Is there a problem with this statement? Choose There is a problem (モンダイがある Mondai ga aru). It contradicts a certain piece of evidence in your files. Present the Bullet's Trajectory (弾丸の軌跡). If the flags were flying in such a way as to block the president's view of the balloons, then your original deduction regarding the bullet's flight-path was incorrect. This means you can now tell who fired the gun. Present Horace Knightley's profile (内藤　馬乃介). The president isn't convinced, though, and wants more evidence. Present Kay's Camera Data (美雲の写真). Where, exactly, is the flag? Present the flag, which can be seen to the right of Knightley. Does this make Knightley the assassin, though? Choose Not the assassin (暗殺者ではない Asashin dewa nai). He was on the stage at the time, so it would have been impossible for him to have shot Rooke and the president.

It's now time to tie up the rest of the Logic. You first receive the Knightley shot the balloon logic (内藤がバルーンを撃った Naitō ga barūn o utta). Connect this to Knightley's position (内藤の立ち位置). It appears that the security plans were actually altered in order to make it possible for Knightley to shoot the balloon. You receive the Change in the security plans logic (警備計画の変更 Keibi keikaku no henkō). Connect this to the logic you obtained right back at the beginning: Assassination attempt (大統領暗殺事件). What if the president actually knew about the assassination attempt from the beginning? The only way for everything you know about the case to add up is... if the entire assassination attempt was a set up! Knightley shot the balloon to drive the crowd into a panic, and then fired another shot to create the illusion of a shot hitting the president, which would have been made to look real by a bulletproof vest that had actually been shot days ago. Nicole, meanwhile, was set up to take the blame, by pointing the laser beam at the president. The whole thing was really a publicity stunt from the beginning.

At this point, President Huang begins to feel quite deflated - literally. However, Knightley steps in, and asks you a question. How did he conceal his actions from the audience? Present the Bulletproof Attaché Case (防弾アタッシュケース). As Kay's photo shows, all he had to do was hold it up to conceal his right hand. Unfortunately, however, you lack the decisive evidence that proves this is what transpired. Luckily, Nicole decides to speak up about her role in the affair. She says she was offered an exclusive interview with Huang, if she agreed to take part in the scheme. Knightley still refuses to speak, but Huang finally admits that the assassination attempt was planned. He knew nothing about de Killer, though. One question now remains: how did Rooke die, if the assassination was fake? Knightley suggests the possibility of a third assassin, other than de Killer and the fake, and tries to point the finger at Nicole once again. You'll need to hear him out.

Rebuttal: Knightley's Testimony / 追究 ～内藤の証言～
Present the Assassin's Revolver (凶器の拳銃) on the fifth statement. The gun you found was fired twice, so the total number of shots fired doesn't add up. Edgeworth suggests that the gun found in the bin may actually be a red herring, planted to make it appear as though the assassin was in the audience. So, who really shot Rooke? Present Horace Knightley's profile (内藤　馬乃介). Knightley's plan was to kill Rooke, and pin the blame on the "assassin" who targeted Huang.

Knightley now argues that the gun found in the bin was one bullet short to begin with. He wants more decisive evidence. If you can find the bullet that killed Rooke, and compare it to the ballistic markings of Knightley's gun, it would be enough. Do you actually have this evidence? Choose I don't have it (手元にはない Temoto ni wa nai). You don't have it on you... but you know where to look for it! Present the Security Monitors (監視カメラのモニター). Remember how one of them was missing? It must have been hit by the bullet that killed Rooke. Gumshoe is sent to search for the missing monitor. A few minutes later, he returns, and produces the Bloody Bullet (血痕のついた弾丸 kekkon no tsuita dangan) that likely killed Rooke. Shortly after, the forensic tests on the bullet are complete - the blood matches Rooke's, and Knightley's fingerprints were found on the "assassin's" gun, but the ballistic markings... match the "assassin's" gun! Knightley, now with the upper hand, argues his point of view.

Rebuttal: Knightley's Logic / 追究 ～内藤の推理～
Press Knightley's first statement. Kay suggests that if the evidence seems to contradict the facts, then maybe you need to doubt the evidence instead. Which evidence do you doubt? Choose The gun (拳銃 Kenjū). You only just found the bullet, so it can't be that. Instead, what if Knightley, when he took your evidence away, switched this gun with his own? If that's true, then who is the real owner of the gun you have now? Present Horace Knightley's profile (内藤　馬乃介). Knightley's Revolver (内藤の拳銃 Naitō no kenjū) will be updated in your Organizer.

Present Knightley's Revolver (内藤の拳銃) on the second statement. From what you now know, Knightley must have swapped his gun with the one found in the bin, and attached the laser pointer to his own gun. But can you prove it?

Rebuttal: Knightley's Logic, Pt. 2 / 追究 ～内藤の証言②～
Present Knightley's Revolver (内藤の拳銃) on the fourth statement. This is your proof! If you press his third statement (though this is not necessary to proceed), you'll learn that he reloads his gun every time he fires it. Knowing this, what traces did he leave on the gun that prove it's his? Choose The fingerprints (指紋 Shimon). If you examine the gun thoroughly for prints, his should be on the gun, somewhere where they shouldn't be - where? Examine the gun's chamber, and then examine the bullets. His prints are on the bullets! Edgeworth has the forensics officer report again regarding the fingerprint test. Knightley's prints weren't just on the outside of the gun - they were indeed on the bullets as well.

With this, Knightley finally cracks and admits his guilt, after being assaulted by various objects you might recognise from earlier cases in the series.

What really happened / 何が本当に起こった
The assassination attempt was, in reality, all an act. President Huang’s approval ratings among the people of Zheng Fa had been falling recently, so he decided to ask his bodyguard, Ethan Rooke, to help him set up a fake assassination attempt. Huang believed that, if he became known as a survivor of an assassination attempt, it would reignite his popularity among his people. However, Rooke refused to participate in the scheme, so Huang instead turned to Rooke’s subordinate, Horace Knightley, who agreed to take part. Huang was nervous about asking Knightley, having noticed his hatred for his superior, but decided to proceed with the plan anyway. In the days before Huang’s speech was due to take place, everything was put into place: the president’s bulletproof vest was shot at, to give the impression that Huang had actually been hit; the security plans were redrawn to account for Knightley’s neck injury, which would have prevented him from shooting the balloon if it was to his right; a staff member at the Zheng Fa embassy approached Nicole Swift and asked her to point the laser beam at Huang, promising her an exclusive interview with the president after the event; and Huang planned to claim extraterritorial rights in order to prevent anyone outside Zheng Fa from investigating the incident.

At the speech, the fake assassination went ahead as planned: Nicole, wearing the red side of her reversible parka, pointed the laser pointer at Huang, and Knightley shot the balloon beside him to create the illusion that a gun had actually been fired at Huang. During the commotion that ensued, Huang’s bodyguards ushered him into the presidential aeroplane, while Nicole changed her parka to make the red-hooded “assassin” disappear. Huang immediately hid in an extra-secure room in the plane, leaving Knightley and Rooke alone in the main room of the plane. At this point, Knightley killed Rooke. His plan was to claim that Rooke had been hit by the “assassin” while attempting to stop the bullet from hitting Huang.

In actuality, Knightley hated Rooke, and was jealous of Rooke’s position as leader of Huang’s bodyguards, and the level of trust Huang placed in Rooke, and so he intended to use the fake assassination attempt as a means to eliminate Rooke while avoiding blame. However, Knightley failed to predict the presence of another red-hooded would-be assassin at the event, namely Shelly de Killer. A few days earlier, de Killer was contracted to assassinate Huang. He had already attempted to kill Huang once, but was foiled by Rooke, resulting in the former’s arm injury, and his respect for Rooke. When Knightley came to take Nicole in for “questioning”, de Killer took Knightley hostage in order to force him to allow Edgeworth to investigate inside the plane, so that de Killer could learn the truth behind the death of Rooke, a man de Killer greatly respected.

Epilogue / 結語
Outside the plane, back on the stage in Gourd Lake Park, Huang has regained his composure. He thanks Edgeworth for solving Rooke's murder, apologises for having proposed the fake assassination in the first place, and says that if Edgeworth ever wishes to visit Zheng Fa, he will be most welcome. Nicole also thanks Edgeworth for getting her off the hook, and also apologises for agreeing to take part in the plan. Edgeworth then says that the case is not actually over yet... Present Shelly de Killer's Calling Card (カード). De Killer was hired to kill Huang, but again has failed to do so. It's likely that he will return to complete his mission... It seems the "game" is only just beginning.

Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 2: The Imprisoned Turnabout

Inside a damp, dark prison, a single bell rings. A shadow walks past the cells, and at the end of the hallway, a light flashes briefly. A pool of blood forms on the floor... The victim is Horace Knightley, the culprit from the previous case. The shadow from earlier looms over the body, before walking away again. The bell rings again, and light is finally brought to the dark corridor, revealing a large black dog, with blood dripping from its mouth... Is this hound the killer?

Patricia Roland / 美和　マリー (みわ　マリー Miwa Marī) The warden of the prison (or her “home”, as she likes to call it). She adores animals, and gives every inmate in her prison a pet to look after during their incarceration.

Sirhan Dogen / 鳳院坊　了賢 (ほういんぼう　りょうけん Hōinbō Ryōken) A blind assassin who strikes fear into all who meet him. The ringing of his custom-made bells is said to be the last thing his victims ever hear. He was eventually caught and convicted of his crimes, with the prosecutor being none other than Miles Edgeworth.

Shi-Long Lang / 狼　士龍 (ろう　しりゅう Rō Shiryū) An agent with Interpol from the Republic of Zheng Fa, who worked with Edgeworth on a number of recent cases. You briefly encounter him during this case, though he is apparently bereft of his usual army of 100 subordinates.

Regina Berry / 立見　里香 (たちみ　りか Tachimi Rika / ミリカ Mirika) An animal tamer with the Berry Big Circus, who may stir fond memories of a certain case involving the blue-suited defence attorney. She is at the prison to perform a special animal show for the inmates.

Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 2: The Imprisoned Turnabout/Beginning

Edgeworth, Kay, and Gumshoe are standing in the visitor's room of the detention center, waiting to see Horace Knightley, the culprit from the fake assassination attempt a few days earlier. It seems he doesn't plan on showing up any time soon. Suddenly, a guard bursts in, with an explanation for Knightley's absence - he's been killed! In the detention center!? But Knightley isn't in his cell. The crime scene turns out to be a workroom inside the prison, which is in the same building as the detention center. The body is unmistakably that of Knightley... what was he doing in the prison, when he hadn't been tried yet? He shouldn't have been able to enter the prison at any point. The Floor Plans (見取り図 mitorizu) are added to the Organizer. You need to get to the bottom of this mystery... Time to start investigating.

Investigation: Prison - Workroom A / 捜査　～刑務所・作業部屋～
Start by examining the pulley and sheets in the centre of the room. In larger areas like this, press the Y button to pan the screen up, down, left, or right, in order to examine the entire area. Pan down and examine the sheets to get the Stacked sheets logic (積まれたシート Tsumareta shīto). There's also a whip here, but it doesn't belong to who you're thinking of. Now examine the body itself. He probably died from the wound on his neck. There are also some bruises on his head, and his clothes are covered in dirt. Gumshoe will take a photo of the scene, and the Crime Scene Notes (死体の所見メモ shitai no shoken memo) will be added to the Organizer. Examine the Chessboard (チェスボード chesubōdo) to have it added to the Organizer. It probably belonged to Knightley, who was an avid chess player. Examine the rubber glove to look closer at it. Rotate it around, and examine the blood stains. The glove was dropped after the blood was spilled, otherwise the stain would outline the glove. This means it was probably used by the killer. The Rubber Glove (ゴム手袋 gomu tebukuro) is added to the Organizer. Next, examine the sheet and rope wrapped around the body. The Rope (ロープ rōpu) is added to the Organizer. The inside of the sheet is stained with blood. You get the Bloody sheet logic (血のついたシート Chi no tsuita shīto). Use your Logic to connect it to the Stacked sheets (積まれたシート). The Bloodstained Sheet (血のついたシート chi no tsuita shīto) is added to the Organizer. Finally, examine Knightley's hand. He's wearing what looks like an expensive ring.

Something is still missing from the crime scene, though... namely, the murder weapon (凶器 Kyōki). It should have been incredibly difficult to obtain anything potentially lethal in a prison, so where did the murder weapon come from, and where is it now? At this point, another person enters the crime scene. He and Edgeworth recognise each other straight away. This person is Raymond Shields (信楽　盾之 (しがらき　たてゆき) Shigaraki Tateyuki), or "Uncle Ray" (オジサン Oji-san) as he likes to call himself. He's a defence attorney, and an old acquaintance of Edgeworth's, who is generally pretty cheerful - except when the idea of Edgeworth being a prosecutor comes up. What does he mean by "the von Karma way"? He was to be Knightley's defence attorney, so you should talk to him, and see what he has to say.

 * Defense attorney / 弁護の依頼について (Bengo no irai ni tsuite): He came here to speak to Knightley about the case, only to find his client had been murdered. He again mentions the "von Karma way"...
 * The victim / 被害者について (Higaisha ni tsuite): He had met Knightley only yesterday, after he was arrested. Knightley was hostile, and talked about how Edgeworth "ruined his plans". Ray mentions having been in the workroom before.
 * About this room / この部屋について (Kono heya ni tsuite): Pop quiz time! What's the name of this room? It doesn't matter which you pick, since none of them are correct. It is, of course, the "Workroom". As the name suggests, inmates perform labour in this room, and also receive job training to help them find work after their release. The room has no locks, but is instead monitored by a door sensor that sounds an alarm whenever an inmate enters. Only guards can deactivate the sensors to allow inmates to enter. Nobody has been recorded entering the room today. The Door Sensor (トビラのセンサー tobira no sensā) is added to the Organizer.

If no prisoners have entered the workroom today, though, that creates a contradiction in the crime scene. Examine the body again. Highlight the rubber glove, and deduce from the Door Sensor (トビラのセンサー) that the glove should not be there. The gloves are for inmates only, but no prisoners have used this workroom today. If so, then how can a prisoner's rubber glove be here? Ray says that "certain things", other than the guards and inmates, are able to enter the workroom. What are these "things"? Ray leads you out to the hallway to show you. As he says, this prison is a little different from others - here, every prisoner gets his or her own pet to look after during their incarceration! And the workroom you were just in is where prisoners practice looking after their pets, so it's possible that one of them may have been responsible for dropping the rubber glove at the crime scene.

At this point, you hear a bell ringing... It's coming from a large black dog, who, after a glaring contest with Edgeworth, walks off. The dog seems hostile towards Edgeworth, and only Edgeworth... In any case, you should now start questioning people who may have witnessed the incident. Gumshoe decides that you should start with the prisoner in the nearest cell... who completely blanks you, until he decides it's time to exercise. He introduces himself as Jay Elbird (折中 秀治 (おりなか　しゅうじ) Orinaka Shūji), former boxer, and currently prisoner number D-259. He doesn't want to talk about the time of the incident, though. Time to use "that" once again!

Rebuttal: About the Incident / 追究 ～事件について～
Present the Crime Scene Notes (死体の所見メモ) on Elbird's third statement. Knightley was wounded in the throat, so it would have been impossible for him to cry out. Elbird says there "should" have been a scream. He says that it wasn't him who heard it, but the prisoner in the next cell. The prisoner describes a different scream to what Elbird claimed to hear - it sounds more like it came from whoever discovered the body, rather than Knightley himself. But does that really solve all the problems with Elbird's testimony? Choose There is a problem (モンダイがある Mondai ga aru). If the prisoner in the next cell heard the scream, why did Elbird not?

The prisoners are now getting riled up, since they think you suspect Elbird of being the killer. Just when things are about to get violent... Over-ruled! Who was that...? The lady responsible enters, and has the guard escort Elbird to the disciplinary room for the night. She introduces herself as Justine Courtney (水鏡　秤 (みかがみ　はかり) Mikagami Hakari), a judge, and says she has come to meet you personally on behalf of the "Prosecutorial Investigation Committee" (検事審査会 kenji shinsa-kai). The duty of the P.I.C. is to investigate and weed out prosecutors who break the rules - and they've got Edgeworth in their sights. His would-be replacement? Sebastian Debeste (一柳　弓彦 (いちやなぎ　ゆみひこ) Ichiyanagi Yumihiko), prosecutor extraordinaire (or so he says himself). He claims that everyone at the Prosecutors' Offices knows and loves him, and calls him "The Best"... but Edgeworth has never heard of him - nor has anyone else, for that matter. Despite just being a rookie, though, he is to take over the case from Edgeworth at once. Apparently your investigation of the presidential plane in the last case was unlawful, and if you don't comply, you'll lose your Prosecutor's Badge. You don't have any choice in the matter... You'll just have to leave for now.

Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 2: The Imprisoned Turnabout/Middle

The next morning, Edgeworth and Kay are discussing the incident in the prison in Edgeworth's office. Edgeworth doesn't plan on giving up on the case yet, but wonders what he can do without investigative rights. While he is thinking, Gumshoe calls with bad news - they've already arrested a suspect for Knightley's murder! Edgeworth goes straight to the detention center to meet the suspect. The suspect in question, Simon Keyes (猿代 草太 (さるしろ　そうた) Sarushiro Sōta), is terrified of prosecutors, and Edgeworth doesn't do much to dispel his fears, so Kay is forced to act as an intermediary. She eventually gets him to start talking, though. Talk to Simon:

 * Simon Keyes (猿代　草太 Sarushiro Sōta): "No way!"
 * Horace Knightley (内藤との関係 Naitō to no kankei): Simon was a friend of Knightley's. He came to visit him two days ago, at Knightley's request - Knightley wanted him to bring him his chessboard.

Present the Chessboard (チェスボード) to Simon. He says that he and Knightley were best friends. He doesn't seem to be taking the situation well at all - at the very least, you can't see any motive Simon might have had to kill Knightley. Why was he arrested?

 * Reasons for arrest (逮捕された理由 Taiho sareta riyū): Debeste was responsible for having Simon arrested. Simon hasn't been questioned yet, and isn't looking forward to it either, owing to his fear of detectives. Detective Gumshoe chooses this moment to make his entrance. Edgeworth is convinced of Simon's innocence, and decides to do what he can to help. That's going to be difficult without any investigative authority, though.

Outside in the hallway, "Uncle Ray" shows up. He's been hired as Simon's defence attorney, which gives Edgeworth an idea - working as Ray's assistant in order to gain access to the crime scene. Ray isn't easily swayed, given the "von Karma connection", but Edgeworth manages to convince him. Ray takes this opportunity to introduce himself properly - Raymond Shields, head of the Edgeworth Law Offices, and former assistant to Edgeworth's father, Gregory. For his first job as Ray's assistant, Edgeworth suggests finding the person who discovered Knightley's body.

Prison - Hallway / 刑務所・廊下
Once inside the prison, the group are enthusiastically greeted by the warden, Patricia Roland (美和　マリー (みわ　マリー) Miwa Marī). She mentions that an animal show took place yesterday in the prison - this was probably the "recreation" Elbird referred to. The show took place from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. - around when the body was found. She leaves after this, allowing you to start looking for the prisoner who found the body. First, talk to the prisoner in the third cell. He says that the person you're looking for should be in one of the workrooms. Examine the right door, leading to Workroom B. The prisoner inside should be a familiar face to veterans of the blue-suited attorney's adventures: Frank Sahwit (山野　星雄 (やまの　ほしお) Yamano Hoshio). At the time, he was in Workroom B, practicing pet grooming. Apropos of nothing, he says he didn't see anything, and won't help you. It's "that" time again...

Sahwit's Testimony: When I Found the Body / 山野の証言 ～死体発見時のこと～
Sahwit explains that the prison has three roll calls every day - at 7 a.m., noon, and 9 p.m.. At 7 a.m. on the day of the murder, there was nothing out of place. The Prison Roll Call (刑務所の点呼 keimusho no tenko) is noted down in the Organizer. From this, you can deduce that the murder occurred after 7 a.m., and that anyone who was at the Animal Show is innocent.

Rebuttal: When I Found the Body / 追究 ～死体発見時のこと～
Present the Door Sensor (トビラのセンサー) on Sahwit's second or third statement. The sensors are meant to sound an alarm if a prisoner tries to enter or exit without a guard's permission, so how did he manage to get out of his workroom? Sahwit tries to clear up his mess with another testimony.

Rebuttal: When I Found It, Pt. 2 / 追究 ～死体発見時のこと２～
Press on Sahwit's third statement. He says he heard a noise from the other workroom, and became curious, so he looked as quickly as he could. Is there a problem with this statement? Choose There is a problem (モンダイがある Mondai ga aru). If he looked straight away, he should also have seen whoever made the noise. After recollecting himself, he says he saw a black dog, biting into Knightley's neck. The Black Dog (黒い犬 kuroi inu) is added to the Organizer, and Sahwit adds a new statement to his testimony.

 * And to my horror, there was a black dog biting his neck!
 * しかも、黒い犬が首にかみついていたのです！

Press this statement. Knightley wasn't moving at this time, so he was probably already dead. Sahwit adds two more statements to his testimony.

 * He most likely had passed away already. His hands moved nary an inch...
 * The ring with the snowflake insignia glimmered, with no purpose but to catch my eye.

 * すでに絶命した後だったのでしょう. 手はピクリとも動かず・・・・
 * 雪の印が入った指輪が、虚しく輝いていたのを目にいたしました.

Present the Crime Scene Notes (死体の所見メモ) on the second of these statements. The hand wearing the ring was covered by a sheet, so it should have been impossible for Sahwit to see it... Sahwit flips, and a second lawyer is struck in the face by his toupée. Just where was he when he saw the body? Present Workroom A. He now wants evidence that proves he went into Workroom A. Present the Rubber Glove (ゴム手袋). That seems to solve everything... but there's still one problem. How was Sahwit able to get into Workroom A without triggering the alarm? Because his bracelet was broken, and has been for some time. Edgeworth has a guard replace the bracelet, and adds Sahwit's broken bracelet (山野　星雄の《腕輪》 Yamano Hoshio no "udewa") to the Organizer.

Sahwit is still claiming to be innocent of murder, though... he was merely planning to loot the body, but didn't have enough time to take anything. Plus, you still don't know how Knightley got into the prison in order to be found dead there. Sahwit says that only one other prisoner did not see the Animal Show, and Edgeworth seems to know who he's referring to... This "special" prisoner is being kept in the Special Cell. Sahwit is reluctant to divulge any more details, though. Move to the Special Cell (特別独房 Tokubetsu dokubō), through the door to the lower right.

Special Cell / 特別独房
Oddly, the "special" cell is in complete darkness. Just as Kay completes her motto, an ominous bell rings, and a dog growls... Kay and Ray run away, leaving Edgeworth to deal with the occupant of the cell alone. This person seems to know Edgeworth... He finally decides to light the cell. This prisoner, Sirhan Dogen (鳳院坊　了賢 (ほういんぼう　りょうけん) Hōinbō Ryōken), is a former assassin, and the prosecutor at his trial was none other than Miles Edgeworth himself. Talk to Dogen:

 * Murder suspect (殺人容疑 Satsujin yōgi): Dogen says that his dog could not be the killer.
 * The alibi (アリバイについて Aribai ni tsuite): Dogen claims to have been in his cell during the Animal Show, practicing whittling - he even has five chisels in his cell. He shows off one of his more recent productions: a chess piece in the shape of a three-headed dog. Dogen says he has recently taken up correspondence chess. The Hound Piece (猟犬のクマ ryōken no kuma) is added to your Organizer.
 * The victim (被害者について Higaisha ni tsuite): Dogen already knows who the murder victim was. He has a different understanding of why Knightley was arrested, though - it appears that the plan was to make Knightley a scapegoat by having the assassination attempt pinned on him.

Dogen says that Debeste, Courtney, and the warden have already inspected the prison in search of a murder weapon, but failed to find anything. The Prison Investigation report (刑務所内の捜査 keimusho-nai no sōsa) is noted down in the Organizer. Dogen has now had enough of you, and asks his dog to show you out. Ray doesn't need telling twice, and runs out of the room, followed after by Kay and Edgeworth.

Next, you need to figure out how Knightley got from his holding cell to the prison, which should have been impossible. You'll need to investigate the holding cell itself to do so. Out in the hallway, Warden Roland and a guard are discussing an "assassin" - that can only be Sirhan Dogen, but she doesn't tell you any more.

Investigation: Detention Center - Holding Cell / 捜査　～留置所・監房～
Examine the bed. Here, examine the clean part of the floor to get the Floor wiped clean logic (ふかれた床 Fukareta yuka). Examine the newspaper on the bed to get the Torn up newspaper logic (破り取られた新聞紙 Yaburi torareta shinbunshi). Use Logic to connect the two together. Given the situation, it's likely that someone used pages from the newspaper to wipe the floor. But why? The Wiped Floor (ふかれた床 fukareta yuka) is added to the Organizer. Next, examine the table in the cell. Examine the sheet of paper. It looks like chess notation. Deduce from Dogen's Hound Piece (猟犬のクマ) that Dogen's chess opponent was likely Knightley, since the notation on this sheet matches up with the chessboard in Dogen's cell. Knightley's Memo (内藤のメモ Naitō no memo) is added to the Organizer. Finally, examine the mirror in the north-west of the cell. The reflection shows a security camera. Edgeworth has the guard examine the security footage. He reports back soon after, saying that "something terrible" was recorded - someone being attacked by what appears to be a black dog. So, where was Knightley really attacked? Present the Holding Cell. This tape looks like it could be your decisive evidence! The Security Footage (監視カメラ映像 kanshi kamera eizō) is added to the Organizer. It now seems that the murder occurred in this cell. In that case, what piece of evidence takes on a new meaning? Present the Wiped Floor (ふかれた床). Was the floor wiped to hide bloodstains? Edgeworth tells the guard to ask Gumshoe to have the floor examined for bloodstains. There's still one piece missing from the puzzle, though - how did the dog move Knightley from the holding cell to the prison? Edgeworth decides to ask the guards in the prison for information.

Detention Center - Hallway / 留置所・廊下
Back in the hallway, Edgeworth and Kay meet another familiar face - Shi-Long Lang (狼　士龍 (ろう　しりゅう) Rō Shiryū), a high-ranking Interpol agent who worked on a number of cases involving Edgeworth a few weeks ago. He seems to be alone today - where's his usual army of subordinates? He leaves shortly after. You can worry about him later - for now, talk to the guards here. The guard standing by the lockers tells you that one of his uniforms has gone missing. The Stolen Uniform (盗まれた看守の服 nusumareta kanshu no fuku) is noted down in the Organizer. The guard by the trophy cabinet mentions that he hasn't seen any dogs pass through the Detention Center.

Ray finally decides to come back. He says that Knightley apparently caused a disturbance a few days ago. After Simon came to visit Knightley, he was escorted back to his cell by a guard. While the guard was undoing Knightley's handcuffs, he attacked the guard, knocking him out. By the time the other guards had arrived, the key for the cell had gone missing. Despite this, Knightley never attempted to break out, and he also denied having attacked the guard in the first place. The key hasn't been seen since, and the guard in question is currently hospitalised. Knightley's Cell Key (内藤の監房のカギ Naitō no kanbō no kagi) is added to the Organizer.

The discussion is ended when Debeste and Courtney show up. Debeste is still muddling his words, it seems (though in this case, he mightn't be entirely wrong)... and he wants to explain why he arrested Simon. This can only go well...

Rebuttal: Reasons for Arrest / 追究 ～逮捕した理由～
Press on Debeste's second statement (pressing his other statements only gets you more worthless nonsense). "Traces"? "That guy"? "Over there"? Couldn't he possibly be any clearer about that? He decides to try, and explains that they found Simon's fingerprints on the chessboard found by Knightley's body.

 * The victim carried a chessboard. From it, we found Simon Keyes' fingerprints.
 * 被害者の持っていたチェスボード. あれから、猿代　草太の指紋が出た.

Present the Chessboard (チェスボード) in question here. Simon delivered the chessboard to Knightley, so obviously his fingerprints should be on it. This is taking far too long... Oh dear, Courtney wants him to give another testimony. Hopefully this one will be of more use...

Debeste's Testimony: Murder Weapon's Location / 一柳の証言 ～凶器のゆくえ～
Debeste claims that the weapon was hidden inside the chessboard, and says to examine inside it. Open it by examining the lock, and then examine the top of the inside. It opens up to reveal a hidden compartment. It's certainly deep enough to conceal a small, sharp weapon. Edgeworth objects, however. The prison has a security gate at the entrance, that should have picked up on any hidden weapons when the chessboard was being brought in. However, as Courtney explains, the gate is only used on people entering the prison, and packages undergo a different check, so Debeste's reasoning still holds. The Security Gate (セキュリティゲート sekyuriti gēto) is added to the Organizer.

Rebuttal: Murder Weapon's Location / 追究 ～凶器のゆくえ～
Press Debeste's fourth statement. Assuming the murder weapon was brought in, where did it disappear to? Debeste says it must have been hidden inside the prison. Is there a problem with that statement? This is Debeste's best logic, so of course there is a problem (モンダイがある Mondai ga aru). Present the Prison Investigation (刑務所内の捜査). Has he forgotten that already? He now claims that the murderer brought the weapon back out of the prison with them. This, of course, is impossible. Present the Security Gate (セキュリティゲート). He's forgotten this, too... If the murderer had brought the weapon out on their person, the gate would have picked it up. This leaves only one other possibility - that the murder weapon is not actually a sharp metal object, as Debeste believes. What is the murder weapon, then? Present the Black Dog (黒い犬) or the Security Footage (監視カメラ映像). The video clearly shows the man in the cell being attacked by a black animal.

There's just one problem with this reasoning - how did the dog manage to move between the prison and the detention center? Courtney says that if you can't prove that, she cannot accept your argument. However, that must work both ways - she can't prove Simon did it, either... except that she can, as she claims. Apparently, Simon is actually a circus performer, who was part of the Animal Show that visited the circus yesterday morning. He would have easily been able to enter the prison. With that, Courtney and Debeste leave. Why didn't Simon tell you he was part of the circus? This has blown a hole in your logic. You'll need to investigate this matter further.
