Examine the telephone. Phoenix will try to make a call and notice that the phone is missing some screws from the receiver. You are able to examine other items in the room, however the things mentioned in this guide are only the essential actions needed to advance the plot.

The girl you saw earlier will come to and introduce herself as Maya Fey, Mia's little sister. Talk to Maya:

What happened: All Maya could say is that she arrived at the office, and the way she said Sis, Mia was already dead when she arrived.

You and the Chief: Maya is Mia's sister. Mia wanted her to keep some evidence.

Present Maya with the Receipt. Maya is stunned to see her sister write her name on the receipt.

At this moment the police arrive and a detective, named Dick Gumshoe, notices the name on the receipt. He promptly arrests Maya for the murder and takes her away.

Detention Center
The next morning you will arrive at the Detention Center. Maya will ask you if you will be her lawyer. You have a choice. Choose it's up to you. Talk to Maya:

Maya: You will learn that Maya is a Spirit medium in training as her uniform states.

The day of the crime: In the morning of the crime, Mia called Maya to have her protect the evidence. She has the call recorded on her phone.

Your cell phone: Maya would let you hear the call now, but Gumshoe took it from her.

Spirit mediums: The Fey family (especially the women) has spiritual powers and can contact the dead. Mia's powers were first-class. Phoenix tells Maya to contact Mia, so she can tell him who killed her, but Maya says her power is too weak, she is still in training.

Maya will give you a Memo to get her cell phone from the detective, which has the recorded call between her and Mia on the day of the murder.

She will ask you to visit a famous lawyer that Mia told her to go to for help. It doesn't matter what you choose. Talk to her again about the day of the crime.

The day of the crime (cont): Maya went to Mia's office just like she is told. Maya smelt blood, and the next thing she knew, her sister is dead.

Move to the Fey & Co Law Offices.

Here you will meet Detective Gumshoe, when you have the choice select Detective Gumshoe from the options. Talk to Gumshoe:

Mia: Phoenix asks for the Autopsy report, which will be added to the Court Record.

Maya: Gumshoe doesn't think you'll win, because a man named Miles Edgeworth is the prosecution of this case.

Edgeworth:When he asks if you know Edgeworth it doesn’t matter which option you choose. Phoenix says he is a cold-hearted man who hates crime and would do just about anything to get the guilty verdict.

Present Gumshoe with the Memo for the cell phone, You have an option to choose, it doesn't matter which. He will give you the Cell Phone and it will be added to the Court Record. Gumshoe will accidentally tell you about the witness (April May, the woman you saw at the window yesterday) and that she is still staying at the Gatewater Hotel. Let's go meet her. Move to the Gatewater Hotel.

Gatewater Hotel
April May will talk to you for a bit then leave the room. Examine the two glasses on the table next to the window then examine the screwdriver that is stuck in the drawer. Phoenix will attempt to look inside the drawer but April comes back in and gets annoyed at you. You can talk to April if you want, but you won’t get much information from her.

Time to get Maya her lawyer. Move to Grossberg Law Offices.

Grossberg Law Offices
You don't see anyone here. Move back to the Detention Center

Detention Center (2)
Present Maya (her) Cell Phone. She tearfully listens to her call.

Talk to Maya:

Your family: Maya's father died when she was little, and she doesn't know where her mother is.

Your mother: Her family was involved in a case. There, a man ruined her mother's life. She then disappeared and hasn't been seen since. Several years later, her sister left, so Maya lives all by herself, to train for her E.S.P.

Your mother's enemy: 15 years ago, her family was involved in a case. Her mother was used to channel a victim and identify a murderer. They thought they had him, but the man was proven innocent. When the enemy found out about this, he accuses the medium as a from, and leaked it in the papers. The medium became the laughing stock of the nation and left. When asked the name, Maya says "White".

Let's see if Grossberg is back. Move back to the Grossberg Law Offices

Grossberg Law Offices (2)
Things look promising, as Grossberg seems happy to help you, however once you mention Maya's name he instantly rejects to take on her case. This seems like a strange thing to say. Talk to Grossberg:

Your refusal: When Phoenix asks him why, Grossberg says he doesn't. When Phoenix tries to look for other lawyers, Grossberg states that no one would take it.

Mia: Mia once worked here as an apprentice.

Move to the Detention Center.

Detention Center (3)
Maya doesn’t take the news of the refusal very well.

Choose Defend Maya and when she asks why tell her I can’t abandon you.

Move to the Gatewater Hotel.

Gatewater Hotel (2)
When you arrive at the hotel you will meet the Bellboy. He will ask you to tell April May that a man named ‘Mr. White’ has left a message for her. Mr. White?? Could it just be a coincidence? This is your chance to find out what is in that drawer. Examine the drawer. There's a wiretap in there! What is it doing here? It must be a clue. The Wiretap will be added to the Court Record.

If you have completed everything then the day will end automatically.
