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

Well, looks like Cammy is playing dumb. It looks like we'll have to force the truth out of her with a good confrontation.

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

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

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


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

Present the Alif Red Certificate at this statement. The document is falsified, and it can be done by no other than Ms. Meele! She must have played a part in the smuggling of the statue! Cammy will reveal her true self, but still denies participating in the smuggling. She will then note that Rhoda is much more likely to be a smuggling ring member, having access to a lot of the plane. Edgeworth will state that this is simply the killer trying to pin the murder on her, and he or she has been trying to do that from the beginning. Present the IFly Suitcase. Out of all the places to hide a body, the killer chose to hide it in a suitcase. The killer doesn't need to move the body to the first floor, unless he/she is pinning the murder on Rhoda Teneiro. Since she buys a suitcase on every flight, if the suitcase was swapped with the one with the body, it will implicate Teneiro as the killer. The sudden patch of turbulence ruined the plan, and the killer tried to pin it on Edgeworth. The killer then moved the suitcase to the in-flight shop and took the piggy bank to make a false murder weapon. There is a special circumstance that required the killer to frame it on someone else, and that is Where the murder took place. The murder took place in a plane in the air. The body won't take long to be discovered, so the killer must frame it on someone else. And that means only Cammy Meele can do it! Cammy Meele will state that all of this is just circumstantial evidence. She's right, but there's still one piece of evidence that never seemed to fit in the theory. Present the Missing Cell Phone. The killer must have taken the phone, so whoever has it must be the murderer. Cammy will state that the phone will have broken from the fall. Edgeworth will request that Franziska call the victim's phone number. There's the constant beeping of the phone, but where is it coming from?

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

Bad Ending Seven: If your logic fails here, Cammy Meeles leaves to work under another flight under that pretense and is never been seen or heard of since.

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

Cammy will break down and confess to the crime.

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

A while after the plane takes off and starts cruising, Mr. Hicks decides to check out the cargo hold. He goes down to the first floor using the elevator, passing by an annoyed Mr. Lablanc waiting for his in-flight movie. He meets Cammy Meele and asks her to take him to the cargo hold. Using the entrance from the flight attendant's room, they enter the cargo hold atop the stairs. There, Mr. Hicks got a clear view of the cargo hold, and finds that the Alif Red Statue was nowhere to be seen. He starts taking pictures with his camera. Being a member of the smuggling ring, and realizing that she could be arrested once the Interpol starts investigating about the missing statue, Cammy Meele pushed Mr. Hicks off the railing and on to the ground several feet below, killing him instantly and shattering his glasses and his phone's LCD screens. Cammy realizes what she had done and knows that she must pin the crime on someone else. First, she cleans the blood from the fall using the Borginian cloth, knowing that it will be unloaded during the Zheng Fa refueling. Then she takes the victim's phone, knowing that it contains incriminating evidence about the smuggling, but couldn't erase it due to the broken screens.

She remembers that her colleague Rhoda Teneiro buys a suitcase from the shop on every flight, so she uses one of the suitcases in the cargo hold to move the body. She plans to exchange it with the suitcase Rhoda bought to divert suspicion on to her, but the body is too heavy to be carried up the staircase. She goes back to the flight attendant's room, steals Ms. Teneiro's elevator keycard and inserts Mr. Hicks phone into her locker. Back at the cargo hold, she moves the suitcase and the body into the elevator. Her plan was going well, until a patch of turbulence struck.

The turbulence knocked the body out of the suitcase, scattering the victim's belongings everywhere. Edgeworth also fainted from the turbulence moments after Ms. Teneiro bought her suitcase for the flight. Cammy knows she doesn't have any time left to clean up the mess, and discovers a new target to pin the crime on. She plants the victim's travel wallet on an unconscious Edgeworth to give him a motive and takes a piggy bank that fell out of its shelf during the turbulence as a fake murder weapon. Edgeworth wakes up, discovers the body and is caught by Teneiro.

Epilogue
Cammy has been arrested and is being brought to the precinct. Rhoda Teneiro will thank us and give Edgeworth a suitcase. Franziska is already booking her departure. Edgeworth will intercept her before she boards.

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

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