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

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


 * Detective Badd: Detective Badd was also involved in the KG-8 Incident, who was in-charge of protecting Ms. Yew's sister, but 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 has no intention of defending him for the murder, but soon finds out that he is 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 Gumshoes to stand guard in the hallway at around 3:20.
 * 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 will be added to your organizer.

Present Det. Gumshoe's Testimony. Gumshoe asserts that he saw noone in the hallway. Suddenly, the little girl from before sneaks up and kicks Edgeworth in the groin! She drops something while running away. The Swiss Roll will be 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 is 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 dissapeared 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 Detectvie Gumshoe. They met up at 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, choose Time he heard the gunshot. Detective Badd heard the gunshot right before the trial. Det. Badd's Testimony will be added to your organizer.

Examine the vending machine. It sells an assortment of snacks, including Swiss rolls. You will 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. Examine the pink object. It appears to be made of rubber. You will receive the Pink piece of trash logic. Examine the cactus. It has sharp needles, enough to prick Egdeworth's hands. You will get the Windowsill cactus logic.

Pan down and examine the ants. They are gathered around a chunk of Swiss rolls. You will get the Swiss roll crumbs logic. Examine the handprint on the bench. It belongs to Detective Gumshoe! Det. Gumshoe's Fingerprints will be added to the organizer.

Now go into Logic Mode and connect 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. The Det. Gumshoe's Fingerprints will be 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 will be 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 will be added to your organizer. With that, our invetigation is complete!

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

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 will now say he recalled something.

Rebuttal: What I Saw, Pt. 2
Press statement 2. The Judge says he went to the restroom about 20 minutes before the court was to start. You'll 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 Testimonyat this new statement. Detective Badd heard the gunshot right before the trial started, but the Judge claims he heard it 20 minutes before. Present the Balloon Piece. The gunshot the Judge heard was actually a balloon popping!

Edgeworth will now recall 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 will attempt 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 it's not true. You will 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 will confess that he bought a Swiss roll to eat, but there's still something that's 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 2 rolls in one package, so he could've given it to the little girl. That same girl will try to sneak up on Edgeworth again, but Edgeworth dodges. She will now introduce herself as 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 will offer 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 will be 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 will now lend he dirtied cravat to Kay (which will get returned 7 years after).
