The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve/Episode 2: The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro/Trial, Part 1

The Catastrophic Night: Cross Examination
Press on statement 4 to get the Victim’s Medical Report. Present the Victim’s Medical Report on statement 5. Ryunosuke points out that if the strychnine takes effect half an hour after consumption, why did the victim collapse three hours after Natsume poured the tea? But Van Zieks counters the claim and calls a new witness: William Shamspeare!

William Shamspeare can be very over the top in terms of his dialogue and the way he acts. Not to mention his costume! Also the yellow clothed curious character that you've seen in a flashback makes his appearance for the first time. You're going to have to listen to their colorful testimony to figure out what's going on.

The Wintry Night of My Discontent: Cross Examination
Press every statement and Juror No.1 will interrupt afterwards. After all the jurors vote Natsume guilty, you exercise your right to examine their argument. It’s time for the summation examination!

Jury Examination: The Defence's Rebuttal
Press on Juror No.1’s statement. He says if you can prove that Shamspeare is a liar, he’ll change his verdict. Press on Juror No.4’s statement. She has a suspicion that Shamspeare is stealing their gas.

Pit these two against each other and Juror No.1 will change his verdict and convince Juror No.3, No.4 and No.6 to do so as well.

Metermann will testify again but with Juror No.4 joining in as well since she works with the gas company.

The Altamont Gas Company's Investigation: Cross Examination
Press on statement 3 and the Gas Meter will be added to the court record.

Inspect the bottom of the Gas Meter and you’ll find a small hole going on the bottom of the coin box. The gas meter will be updated. Present the updated gas meter on statement 4. Ask how the gas meter differentiates between different coins and Altamont will amend her statement.


 * Altamont: The meter is designed for coins the exact diameter and thickness of a thrupenny bit. Nothing else will fit.

Inspect the Bar of Soap and you’ll find the red disk has disappeared, leaving a depression that is exactly the same size as a thrupenny coin. The bar of soap will be updated.

Present the updated Bar of Soap on statement 4 and when asked point out the circular depression on the bottom.

When asked to show what could be used to make the fake coin disappear, point to the hole at the bottom of the gas meter. Shamspeare has been freezing disks of water the exact shape of a coin to put into the meter and when they melt they drain through the hole.

Altamont asks for evidence that this method was used. Present the Crime Scene Photograph which shows a puddle of water underneath the gas meter.

When given the chance, raise an objection and point out that the poison might not have been in the tea. Present the Bar of Soap. Shamspeare had no tap water to use that night, because the water mains froze over. So he made the fake coins out of the tea instead.

Ryunosuke demands the police check the soap bars for frozen tea so they can test it for poison. The judge agrees, and adjourns court for the day to give the police time to do so.
