Before stopping at the inn, make your way to the Sewer Dead End.

Sewer Dead End
Talk to Sylvain and he'll share Puzzle 092 with you.

Now, head to the Inn

Inn
Talk to Beatrice and ask to see the most recent newspapers. Unfortunately, the newspapers from the inn are missing! Before you can contemplate this too thoroughly, Ramon comes to take you to the mansion at the Inspector's request.

The Journal Entry "The Inspector's Call" appears.

You might as well see what Chelmey wants. Head toward the mansion.

Manor Road
When you step onto Manor Road, the mysterious girl stops you and warns you not to interfere with the tower. Before you can get more information from her, she disappears.

Keep heading to the manor.

Manor Foyer
Matthew welcomes you in the Manor Foyer but he seems unsettled. There is nothing you can do for him, so head upstairs.

The Journal Entry appear, titled "The Girl's Warning".

Manor Parlor
Unexpectedly, Chelmey accuses Professor Layton of murdering Simon! Layton decides to bring up his suspicions about Chelmey in retaliation.

After a cinema scene, Layton brings up the article regarding Inspector Chelmey. When he asks Luke to name the Inspector's favorite food, select the "Sweet-potato fritters" option.

The Inspector tries to explain himself, but ends up saying the wrong name for "his" wife. Layton's caught Inspector Chelmey in a lie!

The Professor goes on to point out the time of the Inspector's arrival. When Layton asks Luke when the drawbridge shut down, select the "During our search for Claudia" option. There was no way Chelmey could have entered the village, nor could Simon's body have been removed.

Odder still, Chelmey knew about the Tower Key, when Layton and Luke had not told a soul about their find. He must have been spying!

Chelmey finally cracks and reveals himself as Don Paolo! After some choice words, Don Paolo jumps out the window and disappears. Layton and Luke decide to pick up their investigation where they left off.

The Chelmey mystery is solved as Chapter 8 comes to an end!

The Journal Entry appear, titled "Enter Don Paolo".
