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

Jury Examination: The Defence's Rebuttal
Press Juror 6's statement. He describes an experience he had in which the smoke of a birthday cake created danger, and in order to air out the smoke, he had no choice but to open the windows. This bears some similarity to the situation at the Garridebs' in which a small fire broke out; surely the room had to be aired out due to the smoke, even amidst the cold winter weather.

Pit Jurors 3 and 6 against each other. As Juror 3 realizes that the window could have been open at the Garridebs', Juror 4 will react. Pursue Juror 4 at the prompt. She will then admit that her husband did indeed open a window in response to the fire, while she continued to attack him. It has now been established that the book could have fallen out of the window of the Garridebs', but the rest of the jury will still have to be convinced.

Press Juror 5's statement. He recalls an incident in which he got into trouble, but can't remember the details of it. Press Juror 4's new statement. This will cause Juror 5 to react. Pursue Juror 5 at the prompt. He suddenly recalls an incident in which a knife was thrown at him. Pit Jurors 2 and 5 against each other, then present the Jackknife when prompted. This appears to be the last bit of evidence needed to incriminate Joan Garrideb, but Van Zieks still has a trick up his sleeve.

Constable Beate's Report: Cross Examination
Press statement 1. Roly attempts to educate Ryunosuke about the values of Scotland Yard, and to that end loans him his warrant card. The Warrant Card is entered into the Court Record. Feel free to look through the principles that it lists, though it doesn't seem to have any relevance to the case at this point.

Press statement 2. Roly will describe how the window at the Garridebs' isn't able to open fully, making it impossible for any items from the room to have fallen near the victim. As he begins to describe his involvement with the investigation, Patricia will react. Pursue Patricia at the prompt. She explains how the incident occurred close to Roly's beat, which would have required him to assist with investigating the crime scene on the spot, interrupting their anniversary dinner. He investigated the Garridebs because their lodgings were in fact located on his beat, as well as the pavement near their house. But the pavement across Briar Road, where the victim was found, is off-limits to him. Susato updates the Case File with this information.

Press all the remaining statements. Patricia will once again become dissatisfied with Ryunosuke's questioning, leading her to amend her testimony. Press the new statement 5 and pursue Roly at the prompt. He mentions that after giving Patricia directions to the police box for the next beat, he expected her to be gone for ten minutes, but she was gone for fifteen. She says that the bouquet was the reason for this, and Roly oddly asks Patricia to keep that between them. It seems like Roly might be hiding something, but fortunately for the defense, Patricia is all too eager to talk about it. Press the new statement 5 again. Patricia recounts how she dropped her anniversary bouquet upon seeing the victim, and when she returned to the scene of the crime, the bouquet was nowhere near the victim. Van Zieks notes that it was found on the opposite side of Briar Road, near the Garridebs' household, in a spot where no light was cast on it. This is odd for many reasons. The Anniversary Bouquet is entered into the Court Record.

Present the Anniversary Bouquet at statement 6. Roly testified that nothing changed as he watched the scene of the crime, so what could have happened to the bouquet? In fact, the entire scene of the crime appears to have shifted. But who would have had reason to tamper with the scene of the crime? Present Roly Beate at the prompt. When asked what he could have been trying to hide, select the third option, "where the victim fell." Patricia did mention earlier that they were lucky that the crime didn't occur on Roly's beat...

Select the left side of the street when prompted, next to Mr Natsume's lodgings. Present the Warrant Card or the Anniversary Bouquet when asked to provide a motive for his actions. Then, after Roly confesses, you'll have your chance to present the court with the true perpetrator behind the crime. Present Joan Garrideb. One last testimony now stands between you and victory. Also, John Garrideb suddenly joins the stand to help her out.

The Battle of Garrideb: Cross Examination
Press Statement 3. Joan will begin to list off items that she threw at Mr Garrideb, though he seems to take issue with her testimony. Pursue Mr Garrideb when prompted. He describes having more dangerous items thrown at him, such as a knife that cut through his pipe. When asked if this information is important, choose option 1, "it could be important." The Pipe is then entered into the Court Record. It's time to examine the Pipe. Check inside the chamber of the pipe to find what looks like the tip of a blade. The Fragment of Metal will be archived as evidence. Examine the Jackknife to open it, then check the missing tip of the blade. It seems to match the fragment found in Garrideb's pipe. Now it's time to link the evidence together via the holes in the Garridebs' testimony.

Present the Fragment of Metal at Statement 5. When prompted by the judge, present the Jackknife. Finally, when prompted, present The Fourth Book. With this, you will wrap up the case and a verdict will be handed down by the judge.

Soseki Natsume is found...



What has really happened?
This take place in different perspectives. Natsume came out after borrowing three books from Yore Books. Because of the roadblock on the north road, he goes around on the south side. Near the south side on the west road, Olive Green happens to walk down that road when she collapsed in front of Natsume. That sight scared him, so he drops his books and ran back home. But Herlock Scholmes led the police to Natsume, leading to his arrest.

Police officer Roly and his fiance Patricia were walking down the road with the bouquet on the same path as Olive Green would. When she collapse in front of them, Roly asks Patricia to go get help in finding the phone booth. During the fifteen minutes, Roly arranged the crime scene on the other side of the road, while leaving the "Lion's Pride" in one hand and neglecting the bouquet which Patricia dropped on the spot where Olive Green collapsed.

At the same time, after Joan found the card and mistakenly thought that John is cheating on her, she went into a rage, throwing everything at him, causing a fire in their home. John Garrideb is forced to open the window while not knowing what their marital fight has caused: the knife tip off landed in John's smoke pipe and the rest of the knife landed on Olive Green while she picks up the book that's been burnt in the back, the "Lion's Pride". Intertwining all perspectives together is what caused a simple misunderstanding into a shocking crime scene.

Ending
On the heels of his successful defense, Soseki Natsume decides that what he truly wants out of life is to become a writer, and shares that he will return to Japan in pursuit of that dream. Sholmes speculates that escaping the curse of the Reaper may also have something to do with Soseki's hasty departure, though he vehemently denies it. Sholmes then asks Ryunosuke and Susato if they intend to stay in Britain, and offers them a place to stay above his own law office. The episode concludes with Ryunosuke and Susato settling into Sholmes' attic, though there is another mystery lurking on the horizon...
