The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures/Episode 4: The Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro/Investigation, Part 2

Present Iris's Postcard to Inspector Gregson. He will direct you to Soseki Natsume's lodgings in return for the delivery from Iris. Move to Mr Natsume's Lodgings.

Mr Natsume's Lodgings
When given the chance, examine the man sitting in the chair to speak to him. He introduces himself as John Garrideb, and he agrees to answer some questions: Though it seems as if Garrideb and his maid are hiding something, there's no point in investigating it now. Move to Mr Natsume's Room.
 * About Mr Natsume: According to Garrideb, Soseki moved in only a week ago. His maid thought he was "shady" ever since he first moved in.
 * The shady lodger: Garrideb's maid points out that she found Soseki shady due to his routine. Was there a reason she was paying so much attention to his routine in the first place?
 * The incident two days ago: Garrideb and maid claim not to have witnessed the incident through their window, as they were having dinner at the time.
 * Mr Natsume's room: Garrideb gives Ryunosuke and Susato permission to investigate Soseki's room, and informs them that Sholmes should also be there.

Mr Natsume's Room
Examine the desk. Hidden here is a receipt for the bookshop that Soseki frequents, and it just so happens to be from the day of the stabbing. The Secondhand Book Receipt is entered into the Court Record. Pan right and examine Herlock Sholmes to get his attention. Talk to Sholmes: Sholmes concludes the talk by sharing that he also feels that Garrideb is hiding something. It's time to find out what that is. Move to The Garridebs' Room.
 * Mr Natsume's arrest: Sholmes reveals that he doesn't actually think that Soseki is the culprit; the police simply asked him to lead them to the man who fled from the crime scene.
 * Mr Garrideb, the landlord: Sholmes shares that having a single maid is actually the norm for middle class households in Britain, and they are seen as somewhat of a status symbol.
 * The dingy room: Sholmes explains why the room lacks a window and surmises that it was sold for a cheap price.

The Garridebs' Room
Garrideb dismisses Ryunosuke and Susato, but they aren't ready to conclude the investigation just yet. Pan right and examine Sholmes. It's time to find out what exactly occurred in this room at the time of the crime, and Sholmes will get the ball rolling with his deductions.

The Great Deduction: Nature of the Beast
Conclusion: A rampaging Asiatic lion

Nature of the Beast: Course Correction
Since Sholmes' theory that a lion made its home with the Garridebs is so unlikely, you'll now have to make some major corrections. On statement 6, rotate the camera around the lion statue. Examine the photograph frame behind it. The photo shows Garrideb with what appears to be his wife, though her face has been obscured by a crack in the frame. Present the newlywed bride in the photo.

On statement 16, rotate the camera until you can see the maid's fingers underneath the teapot that she's holding. Present the wedding ring. As it turns out, Garrideb's wife is nowhere to be seen because his maid is actually his wife. Sholmes deduces that Garrideb can't actually afford a maid of his own, as evidenced by the renting out of his property to strangers such as Soseki. To rectify this, he has his wife pose as his maid.

Conclusion: The raging wife of Mr Garrideb

The Great Deduction: Aftermath
Conclusion: Carpet gnawed on by the starving lion

Aftermath: Course Correction
Seeing as the first Course Correction derailed Sholmes' deduction completely, it is now time to fill in the holes in the second. What exactly occurred during the rampage of Garrideb's wife? On statement 4, rotate the camera around to the other side of Garrideb's face. Present his slapped cheek.

It's clear now that Garrideb's wife hurt him, but what caused her to resort to such violent measures? On statement 9, turn your attention to the book near the bills. Examine the bookmark. Ryunosuke and Susato then discover that this isn't actually a bookmark, but something that surely could have caused Garrideb's wife to spiral into a fit of rage. Present the love note.

The only mystery that remains to be solved now is the cause of the mess on the other side of the room. On statement 20, turn your attention to the candles on the table. Examine the candlestick and Ryunosuke will note that not only does the candlestick look easy to topple over, but one of its candles is missing. Present the candlestick.

Conclusion: Carpet scorched by a small fire

The mystery behind what occurred at the Garrideb residence at the time of the stabbing is now solved, but it unfortunately doesn't appear to have anything to do with the case. Move to the Prison. Ryunosuke and Susato will stop at Briar Road on the way and see two men outside the Garridebs' lodge. One in a costume is arguing with the other in yellow, but because of the "?" on their names, you won't know who they are yet. Anyway, they'll leave after talking to Ryunosuke and Susato before moving automatically to the prison.

Prison
At Soseki's cell, Ryunosuke and Susato are joined by Sholmes. Talk to Soseki: At last, Ryunosuke decides to defend Soseki in court. With the day now over, all that's left is to prepare for tomorrow's trial.
 * Cursed trial: Ryunosuke, Susato, and Sholmes discuss the involvement of Barok van Zieks in the trial, of which Soseki is unaware.
 * The Reaper: Sholmes shares that those indicted by Barok van Zieks tend to mysteriously disappear, even if they obtain a not guilty verdict. Could Soseki already be "cursed" by the Reaper?
 * Cursed lodgings: Soseki says that his room was able to be rented at such a cheap price because it's "cursed." He believes that this case is proof of the curse on him.
 * To believe: Ryunosuke must now decide whether or not to believe in Soseki and take on his case.
