Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth/Turnabout Airlines/Part 2-1 - Beginning

Edgeworth gets up from the floor dazed. Looks like he was unconscious for 10 minutes due to turbulence. Then, the pilots announce that the plane will hit more turbulence. As Edgeworth heads towards the elevator, something falls out from him. It's a travel wallet, but its not his. Now he faces two of his worst fears, earthquake like turbulence and an elevator. Those who played the first game might remember why. As he opens the door, he sees...a body. Suddenly,a flight attendant approaches and accuses Edgeworth of murder. After that, the plane hits turbulence and Edgeworth faints.

After a while, we're on the second floor of the plane. The flight attendant will introduce herself as Rhoda Teneiro. Looks like the passengers know what happened, and she tied us up! Teneiro says that we're under suspicion of the murder, and that she has incriminating evidence. Looks like we have a confrontation session with Miss Teneiro.

What Ms. Teneiro Saw

 * 1) I swear to tell the whole truth as a professional flight attendant.
 * 2) Unfortunately for you, Mr. Edgeworth, I am certain you are the killer.
 * 3) The scene I saw in front of the elevator...
 * 4) ...it was you, standing there, with fresh blood dripping off of the murder weapon.
 * So, if you would please cooperate, we'll turn you over just as soon as we land.

Rebuttal
Present the Travel Wallet at the fourth statement. The murder weapon that she saw was the travel wallet Edgeworth found! The blood that was dripping of it is actually grape juice! Ms. Teneiro is still persistent that you killed the victim. She will ask to examine the wallet. Examine the gold button to open the wallet. There's only a passport inside! But the owner of that passport is the victim! The Travel Wallet is updated into Mr. Hick's Travel Wallet. Ms. Teneiro will accuse us of theft now.

Ms. Teneiro's Logic

 * 1) As you claimed, the murder weapon is not the travel wallet...
 * 2) ...however, it IS something you stole from Mr. Hicks after you were done with the vile deed.
 * 3) I find it hard to believe myself, but your motive was very simple...
 * 4) You were out to steal Mr. Hick's money, weren't you?

Rebuttal
Present the Crime Scene Notes at statement 4. This murder wasn't because of money. Present the bills on the floor. The floor is scattered with money, but the killer didn't take them! Ms. Teneiro will now release us.

Suddenly, a man that speaks an unknown language walks up. Looks like his Borginian, but he can speak English as well. He wants us under arrest until the plane touches down. After whining about wasting his precious time, he introduces himself as Zinc Lablanc II, and he is an art dealer. He says he saw the victim go down to the lounge at about 6 o'clock! Ms. Teneiro discovered the body at 6:15, so that means the victim would have been killed within this 15 minute timespan. And the only person at the lounge was Edgeworth! Lablanc will say that he saw the man the whole time operating his cell phone.

Edgeworth will request an investigation of the crime scene,and we have the captain's approval! All right, begin investigation!

Investigation
Move left and you will be in the First Floor, Lounge. Edgeworth will thank Ms. Teneiro for permission to access the crime scene. You will automatically move to Mr.Hicks dead body, since Edgeworth is the only one in the Lounge he is the prime suspect.

You know Edgeworth was not the killer, so that means the killer must be somewhere else here. You will get Where was the killer? Logic.

Examine the elevator, it seems that the only accessible floors are the First and the Second, but you can also go to the cargo keyhold, but you need a keycard. You will receive Elevator Logic.

Examine the brown thing at the bottom right hand corner of the elevator. It seems to be a piggy bank, but there is blood on it. You will receive Murder Weapon: Mr. Ifly? Logic. Time for some combining, go to Logic and combine Where was the killer? and Elevator Logic. It seems the killer could only be in the elevator with Mr. Hicks.

You will get In the Elevator with Hicks? Logic. Examine the body of the corpse, Mr. Hicks was hit by the back of the head. You will get Blunt Force Trauma and Broken Glasses Logic.

Combine Blunt Force Trauma and Murder Weapon: Mr.Ifly? Logic, there can only be one connection, Mr.Ifly is the Murder Weapon. Mr.Ifly Piggy Bank will be added to the Organizer.

Examine the paper in his pocket, it is a picture of him in a building. Photo of Mr. Hicks will be added to the Organizer. Now deduce the necklace and Present the Photo of Mr. Hicks his cell phone seems to be missing. Missing Cell Phone will be added to Organizer.

Now examine the spilled grape juice near the statue. Present the footprints of grape juice just near the spill. Spilled grape juice will be added to Logic. Now combine In the elevator with Hicks? and Spilled grape juice Logic.

It seems that the only reason there is footprints is that there was someone with Mr. Hicks in the elevator! Grape Juice Footprints will be added to the Organizer. With that your investigation is complete!

What I Saw

 * 1) I am certain I saw Mr. Hicks in the elevator!
 * 2) It was when my needles on my pocket watch pointed to the 6 and to the 12!
 * 3) The body was discovered 15 minutes after that in the lounge, yes?
 * 4) Then you, the only person in the lounge at that time, must be the criminal!

Rebuttal
Press on the first statement. A new statement will be added.

-The only person inside was that Mr. Hicks man!

Present the Grape Juice Footprints on that statement. As you may know there is another person in the elevator. Lablanc will insist there was no other people in the elevator. He doesn't seem to be lying, so what does it mean?

What I Saw Pt.2

 * 1) I was very upset when Mr. Hicks passed by my seat.
 * 2) I was checking the time, over and over again.
 * 3) I happened to follow that man with my eyes when he passed me.
 * 4) And I saw clearly into the elevator he was entering.
 * But, I swear there was no one else inside! No one!

Rebuttal
Press on the second statement. A new statement will be added.

-The movie I wanted to see would not start, so I checked my pocket watch many times.

Press on that statement. Isn't it possible he slept through the movie? A new statement will be added.

-My watch is set to my destination's time. I always set it when I board the plane.

Present the Sky Magazine on that statement. It seems that the plane has not changed the time to their destination timezone. So that means the difference between the timezone of Borginian and our country is 9 hours and that means Lablanc saw Mr. Hicks at around 3AM! So Mr Hick could have been killed at anytime between 3 AM and 6:15 AM.

Now the other attendant will speak up. She will introduce herself as Cammy Meele, and noted that the victim was in his seat at 5 AM, when the plane stopped to refuel in a country called the Republic of Zheng Fa. Noone got onboard or left the plane during the refueling. Information regarding the Refueling in Zheng Fa will be added to your organizer. Cammy will also claim that Mr Hicks was at his seat when the plane took off at 5 AM. Ms. Meele's Testimony will be added to the organizer. Now the timeframe of the murder can be narrowed down to sometime between 5 AM and 6:15 AM. But Edgeworth was in the lounge during this time period!

The only way to prove your innocence is to prove that the crime happened in another location. Present the Grape Juice Footprints. The footprints lead to the in-flight shop, but they are disconnected. However, there is another piece of evidence that can connect the shop to the crime scene. Present the Mr. IFly Piggy Bank. The murder weapon is a piece of merchandise sold at the in-flight shop, so the criminal must have obtained it there.
