Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 3: The Inherited Turnabout/Middle, Part 1

Back in the present day, Ray decides to finish telling the first part of his story. Edgeworth is shocked since the IS-7 Incident File (ＩＳ－７号事件の資料 IS-7 gōjiken no shiryō) he has on hand left out a lot of the details. Ray explains that, since the desserts from Dover's room had disappeared, the trial ran for an entire year. Everyone assumed the desserts had simply melted, but Ray isn't so sure - since this art museum used to be Master's mansion, the scene of the IS-7 incident, and one of the exhibits contains Dover's sherbet sculptures - or replicas at the very least. Ray wants to check it out, so he brings you to the "Winter Palace"... but the door is locked. Edgeworth checks his Art Gallery Pamphlet (美術館のパンフレット bijutsukan no panfuretto) and discovers that the Winter Palace is the room next to the one Ray tried to go into.

Zodiac Art Gallery - Winter Palace / １２星座美術館・冬の宮殿
The room is "as cold as ever", according to Ray. He points you to the temperature control panel and asks you to examine it. Do so, and you find that the panel is locked. Examine the ice statues in the centre of the room. They seem to be just replicas. While you're looking at them, Ray sneaks a selfie with you and gives you a copy of the Winter Palace Photo (冬の宮殿の写真 Fuyu no Kyūden no shashin). Examine the ice blocks to the left and right. Players may recognise a the sightseers from an old case handled by a certain attorney! Eventually, Ray finishes taking photos and decides to go and look at the other exhibits. Suddenly, though, you hear a scream from the Fountain Patio and run outside to check. There, a familiar face is crawling on the ground - Larry Butz (矢張　政志 (やはり　まさし) Yahari Masashi), an old "friend" of Edgeworth's, who says he saw "something that no one should ever have to see" again - a man, passed out on the floor. He was knocked out by poison gas, so Edgeworth orders everyone to clear the area at once.

A few minutes later, the situation has calmed slightly. The victim was Dane Gustavia, one of the witnesses of the IS-7 incident. He's alive but unconscious. Larry, or "Laurice Deauxnim" (天流斎　マシス (てんりゅうさい　マシス) Tenryūsai Mashisu) as he prefers to be known while in his artist guise, is fine. As usual, he's planning on taking yet another girl out on a date and wants to bring her to the art gallery. He doesn't seem to be planning on telling you exactly what he's doing or what he saw, though, but luckily for Edgeworth, Larry is interrupted by the arrival of Katherine Hall, the curator of the museum - and yet another person of interest from the IS-7 incident. She's still got her singing talent but seems to think the younger Edgeworth followed his father into the defence attorney business. Kate became a successful actress in the intervening 18 years but retired to run the art gallery. She says that the woman who was with her earlier, Delicia Scones, is currently treating Gustavia in the infirmary. Yet another name from the IS-7 incident comes up... This can't be just a coincidence. Kate leaves after serving tea, just as she did 18 years ago.

After a short while, Kay and Detective Gumshoe arrive. They rushed over after hearing about the poison gas incident. Gumshoe straps on his gas mask and heads for the crime scene. He calls a few minutes later and says that the poison gas has cleared. To the left of the room is a statue of two people, and on the right, a statue of an animal... This sounds exactly like what you saw in the Winter Palace not 30 minutes ago. The room is wet from the sprinklers but there's no sign of any fires. The sprinklers must be activated manually from the security room, to which Kate is the only person with access. The room is also incredibly cold, like the Winter Palace. For now, though, you still can't enter the room yourself so you'll just have to talk to Larry. He insists that he didn't see or do anything... "probably". You'll need to use "that" to get him to talk.

Logic Chess: Larry Butz / ロジックチェス　～矢張　政志～
Larry still seems to think what he saw was the Winter Palace, but you know better. Present the Art Gallery Pamphlet (美術館のパンフレット) that Larry failed to collect at the entrance. He doesn't seem that surprised, though, and mentions a "transformation". He shows you a sketch he drew of what he saw. It depicts a sculpture that appears to be crying tears of blood. The "transformation" he saw was the lower half of the sculpture's body turning into a sculpture of a fish. That would make this the Pisces sculpture. The Pisces Sketch (うお座のスケッチ Uoza no sukecchi) is added to the Organizer for use as scrap paper. Gumshoe calls and tells you that the crime scene is safe to enter.

Zodiac Art Gallery - Autumn Palace / １２星座美術館・秋の宮殿
The room does indeed strongly resemble the Winter Palace and it's easy to see why people would have confused them. Gumshoe gives you his investigation report. A Used Gas Burner (使用済みガスバーナー shiyō-zumi gasu bānā) was found - it was still warm, so it's been used very recently. The stepladder on the ground was probably used by whoever set off the gas, which was released when the lid of the glass case containing the transforming sculpture was opened. The sculpture next to Pisces, Capricorn, was covered in a Fluorescent Cloth (光る布) used by Delicia 18 years ago, as are the other cases. Removing the cloths from the other cases gives Edgeworth an idea - what Larry saw was probably the cloth covering Pisces falling off. But why does the Autumn Palace look so similar to the Winter Palace? You'll need to investigate here too...

Oh, no. It's Prosecutor Debeste and Judge Courtney again... Debeste even tries to raise Gumshoe's salary (which unfortunately doesn't happen). He's been assigned to this case and has decided that, without even investigating the scene itself, Larry must be the culprit. He's asked Delicia what the cause of the gas was but has already forgotten. While he goes off to ask again, Courtney informs you that the cause was the mixing of two chemicals called "Normallium" and "Fatallium". Normallium is quite commonly found and is used in paints and detergents, among other things. Fatallium, on the other hand, is far rarer - almost impossible to obtain. This information on the Poison Gas (有毒ガスの正体 yūdoku gasu no shōtai) is noted in the Organizer. With Debeste finally up to speed (at least, as much as he can be), he decides to explain why he suspects Larry.

Rebuttal: Mr. Debeste's Shining Logic / 追求　～一番星の推理～
Nice and easy, as usual. Present the Poison Gas (有毒ガスの正体) on the second statement. Normallium alone is not enough to create the poison gas - Larry would also have needed access to Fatallium, which is almost impossible to get. Courtney, however, says that alone is not enough to prove his innocence. Debeste was investigating how the two substances were mixed but hasn't yet found an answer. You, however, have something that may help. Present the Pisces Sketch (うお座のスケッチ). The red Normallium wasn't enough to create poison gas alone, but the sketch shows evidence that it was mixed with white Fatallium. Present the pink stain on the ground. When red and white are mixed, they make pink, proving that the two chemicals were mixed inside the glass case. Courtney rejects your claim, however, since the sketch was drawn by Larry. She also wants proof that he did not enter the Autumn Palace, which you don't have at the moment... until Larry speaks up and tells her that the door was locked, so he couldn't enter. You can confirm that since Ray tried to enter what he thought was the Winter Palace as well and failed. Courtney is convinced unusually quickly since she has another suspect in mind - Delicia Scones, who, as a pharmacist, would have been able to obtain Fatallium relatively easily. Did she suspect Delicia right from the start?
