Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/Turnabout Ablaze/Part 5-3 - Middle 2

Edgeworth is now at the outside of the Babahlese embassy next to the stage. He has left Franziska with the Allebahstian investigation. Now we need to check out the Babahlese statue to see if there are any clues about them being moved. We will be greeted by the ambassador, Kay and Gumshoe, though they've not made any progress thus far. Edgeworth will give the Stand-In Request, Letter from a Stalker and Lady's Undershirt to Gumshoes for keeping, since we don't need those pieces of evidence anymore. Edgeworth will also discard the Steel Samurai's Autograph. All of our remaining evidence has also been rearranged. If we try to enter the crime scene we'll find that its blocked, so we can only spend some time looking around this open-air stage.

Talk to Ambassador Palaeno.


 * Open-air stage: The stage is used to host events to promote Babahl. Ambassador Palaeno planned to give a speech too, after being suggested by Manny Coachen, but the fire prevented that from happening.
 * Primidux Statue: The statue was said to be a symbol of sovereignty, which is why both countries claims the statue they possess is real.
 * Manny Coachen: The victim was very good at his job, so good that even Ambassador Palaeno didn't realize he was involved in a smuggling ring. After Ambassador Palaeno was selected as the representative of the Country Unification Council, Manny had been working extra hard. Ambassador Palaeno will also reveal that both countries were to merge back to one tonight if not for the events that had transpired.

Present Allebahst's Primidux Statue. Ambassador Palaeno has received the news from Franziska, and confirmed that the statue in the Babahlese embassy belongs to Allebahst. He will also reveal that Allebahst has the real statue, and that the rulers of Babahl wanted him to negotiate with Ambassador Alba to fake the results, claiming that the real statue could not be identified.

Now talk to Detective Gumshoe. He didn't find anything new in his investigation so far.


 * Investigation update: Gumshoe will reveal that Ambassador Palaeno gave him a lantern. The flame is green because the fuel used for the lantern is whitcrystal oil only found in Babahl. There are cutouts on the sides of the lantern that create silhouettes. The Silhouette Lantern will be added to your organizer.

Edgeworth will now recall all the facts of the case, and determines that the person that smuggled the murder weapons across both countries must be the fake Yatagarasu, who made her appearance in both embassies. Ambassador Palaeno tells us that the Yatagarasu was first spotted in Allebahst's rose garden where Ambassador Alba was to give a speech. Kay will give us something she found that looks like a guitar pick. It is slightly wet, but there isn't any body of water around here. The Pick will be added to your organizer. Kay will also give us Ms. Yew's perfume bottle that she found and kept seven years ago. Ms. Yew's Perfume will be added to your organizer.

Now that we've just about wrapped up things at Babahl, lets continue our investigation at Allebahst, where the Yatagarasu was first spotted.

Investigation: Rose Garden
Edgeworth will meet up with Franziska back at Allebahst. After exchanging some information, Franziska will reveal that the silhouette of the Yatagarasu appeared just as Ambassador Alba was to give a speech. After that, the Babahlese fire started. Without further ado, let's get started!

Talk to Agent Lang. He will say that he was called back to the Interpol Headquarters for some urgent matter, but he isn't leaving until the murderer is found.


 * Yatagarasu's appearance: Agent Lang said that he witnessed Yatagarasu's shadow at the same time as the others. The spotlight went on, the shadow was revealed, and the lights went off. When Agent Lang and his men managed to get the lights back on, the Great Thief had vanished. He later found out that the reason the lights went off was because the cord for the electronics were unplugged, either on purpose or by accident. Agent Lang will also say that it couldn't have been someone else's shadow, since that shape is unique.

Examine the pool. Franziska will mention that the pool's water is used to put out fires. Edgeworth will also observe that the pool automatically refills until it reaches its normal level. That means the pool must have been used recently. The Fountain Spouts will be added to your organizer.

At this moment, Larry will suddenly emerge from the pool. He will say that the reason he was there was to find the lost Iron Infant doll, which he lost around the time he shook hands with the ambassador. He will swim back into the pool.

Examine the left statue. Edgeworth will note its similarity to the Primidux Statue. Examining the right statue will reveal that its the statue of a queen. Not much information for us.

After you've done all that, Edgeworth will say that he figured out how Yatagarasu's shadow was created. Present the left statue. It doesn't look like the shadow, but that's because the statue is only part of the shadow. Present the right statue. The Yatagarasu's shadow is in fact, a combination of the shadow of two statues. Some spotlights have been moved during the confusion when the shadow appeared, which is why it no longer shows the shadow.

Edgeworth will attempt to recreate the shadow. Combining them together looks nothing like the real shadow, so what did we do wrong? The king's statue shadow makes up most of the shadow's shape, but whoever created the shadow only needed part of the queen statue. Present her left hand. The missing portion from the king statue's shadow has five, thin lines which resembles hands. Rearranging the spotlights so it only shines on the hand makes it look exactly like the shadow we saw. That means the Yatagarasu wasn't in Allebahst tonight, only in Babahl, though we can assume she has an accomplice in Allebahst to set up the shadow. And with that, our investigation is complete!
