Wright Anything Agency
You barely avoided a guilty verdict in the trial. You think back to what Prof. Means said at the start of the trial, and he had a point. If it weren't for those confessions, the trial would have ended right at that moment. You need to see Juniper right away! Apollo is coming with you.
Detention Center
Aristotle Means is here too. Juniper apologizes for her confession, and then says she wanted Prof. Means to defend her! This looks like a bad idea, seeing how he has beliefs that "the end justifies the means". Talk to Juniper:
- Why change lawyers? Juniper is afraid that you suspect Hugh or Robin. Prof. Means claims he can prove all three of them innocent with a perfect piece of evidence.
- Why did you confess? She says she confessed to save her friends, but there is a discord in her voice.
- The trio's friendship: The three have been friends since the first day of school, and wanted to end the dark age of law together, and she mentions her proof of friendship again.
- The day of the murder: She actually went to her dressing room to work on her costume until 7:00 PM, but didn't go anywhere else. There is no reason to lie if that was everything that happened, so she is probably still hiding something. In the photo that you received in the trial, the clock read 7:05, but she wasn't in the art room at that time. You should investigate the art room later.
- Encountering O'Conner: Juniper saw Hugh at 7:15, but she suddenly goes silent. She's obviously hiding something, maybe this is why she lied about going home at 6? You decide not to press the matter any further for now. When she came back for a brief moment at 8:30 that evening, she saw the two statues finished covered with sheets.
With the way Prof. Means wants to do things, it's a really bad idea to let him defend Juniper in court. You make a proposal, if you come back with solid evidence solving the mystery, you'll defend Juniper. Thankfully both Prof. Means and Juniper agree to this. You must have enough evidence by sundown, so you better get investigating soon. Move to the outdoor stage.
Themis Legal Academy - Outdoor Stage
When you arrive here, you see a familiar box and Klavier. Talk to Klavier:
- The stage: There were supposed to be two banners. One with the school emblem and the other with the Gavinner's logo. The Gavinner's banner has gone missing.
- The statues: You propose to pick up the pieces of the broken statues to put them back together. Maybe you will discover a new clue?
Press examine and change the perspective of the stage to the left. Examine the two rocks visible at the prosecutor's bench. Next, examine the judge's bench, and examine the red fragment. Go back and change the perspective of the stage to the left. Examine Gavin's statue. When you're zoomed in, examine the big white piece next to statue and the red piece on the ground to the left. A bunch of red and white fragments should be in the court record.
With the red pieces and some teamwork, you were able to rebuild Gavin's statue! It doesn't look bad, but what about the leftover white pieces? When you rebuild these pieces, you have a statue of Themis, the goddess of law. The statue looks awfully familiar... The lady justice statue is added to the court record.
You notice a pole with a wire attached to it. The wire goes from the pole to the another room, and at the end of the wire is the red banner. Examine the room with the open window. Apparently that's the art room, and Fulbright is inside. You ask him to lower the wire so you can reach the banner. Examine the banner. It seems the bottom is knotted up. When unraveling the knot, a paper flies out. It looks like a page from Courte's planner, reading "October - Hugh 120". The "Hugh" Scrap is added to the court record. Examine the banner once again. There is a dark red stain on it, a bloodstain to be exact! The school banner is added to the court record. Examine Lady Justice. There was no mention of this statue, but Wright's statue's fragments seem to have vanished into thin air...
There is a track near the metal fence, which looks out of place. It starts from behind the backdrop, and it looks man-made. It looks like something was dragged from there. You are about done with the outdoor stage. The box just took off running! It's going towards the maintenance area, and you have to investigate the art room anyway, so you decide to follow it.
Themis Legal Academy - Maintenance Area
After apologizing to Scuttlebutt about the humiliation in court earlier today, talk to Scuttlebutt:
- Scuttling scuttlebutt: She seems to have a burned rug with her, it's the Gavinner's banner! It was found in the incinerator. The banner looks like it could be related to the case. The burned fragments are added to the court record.
