The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures/Episode 3: The Adventure of the Runaway Room/Trial, Part 2

Various Misgivings: Cross Examination
Press on the fifth statement, then pursue Fairplay on the line:


 * Beppo: ...no. I, I suppose I d-didn't actually see the p-precise moment of the s-stabbing, did I?

Select No chance! when given the option.

Fairplay will add a new statement to the testimony:
 * Fairplay: D'you think I'd forget the sight of those blood-soaked hands after that butcher stabbed the man?!

Present the Defendant's Leather Gloves on the new sixth statement. Did Fairplay have a reason to fabricate his testimony? Select I have evidence, then examine the Debtors' Ledger. Opening the ledger reveals that Fairplay has an outstanding debt to Mr McGilded! When prompted, present the Debtors' Ledger. Things aren't looking good for Mr Fairplay here, but Mr Furst suddenly remembers also seeing the culprit's bloodstained hands. He offers further testimony.

Beppo, Fairplay and Furst's Testimony: What the Witnesses Really Saw
It appears as if none of them witnessed the crucial moment of the crime after all.

What the Witnesses Really Saw: Cross Examination
Press on the fifth statement. Could they have really seen everyone inside the coach looking through the skylight? Select They might not have been able to. A diagram will be presented. Indicate the lower right seating area. Since it is directly underneath where the witnesses were seated, they could have overlooked a passenger sitting there. But who could have been sitting in that blind spot? Select I have an inkling. When prompted, present Magnus McGilded's profile, the defendant himself!

Ryunosuke suggests that McGilded may not have been seated next to the victim at all, but directly across. The witnesses testified that they clearly remembered seeing blood on both his gloves, despite blood only being found on one. Therefore, those gloves must have belonged to someone else sitting next to the victim - the true culprit!

Mr McGilded had not mentioned a third party in the coach, so he's got some explaining to do. Demand his testimony when given the option.

McGilded's misgivings
Your client is at the stand. Indeed, there was a third passenger inside the omnibus - one that he let escape from the crime scene! McGilded wanted to keep an innocent youth from suspicion. Perhaps she is watching over this trial...

Suddenly, a BANG goes off, and smoke fills the courtroom! The bailiffs secure the omnibus and the defendant, and you're unceremoniously forced outside...
