To the shock of everyone involved, Nikolina Pavlova accuse you of trouble and letting her animal out. With a little help from Seaman Strogenov and Inspector Hosonaga, there's still one person whom you can turn to. So sharpen your mind and let's solve this case once and for all!
Nikolina Pavlova, Bif Strogenov, and Inspector Hosonaga enter the room, and upon doing so, Pavlova wastes no time accusing Ryunosuke of breaking into her room and setting her pet free. Once again, the situation looks bleak for Ryunosuke. '''Pan left''' and '''examine Sholmes''' for a break in the case. Sholmes reveals what he believes to be the identity of the pet that Pavlova was hiding in her suitcase: a striped snake, which has already coiled itself around Strogenov's head. He will then propose his theory using his power of deduction.
==The Great Deduction: Intruder's Identity==
{{DGS Reasoning
|char=Sherlock
|name=Herlock Sholmes
|subtitle=Topic 1: '''Intruder's Identity'''
|testimony=# Miss Pavlova, moments ago, you claimed the following:
# 'His death is nothing to do with me! This whole thing is nothing to do with me!'
# Yet you cannot deceive yourself!
# Yes, when you recall those horrid events, your aching heart smarts with pain!
# And it is that very pain...that evidences your inextricable link to the victim's death.
# So, we ask...what was the nature of this intruder that stole into the victim's cabin on that portentous night.
# Why naturally, it was the 'friend' with which you boarded this vessel, was it not?
# Ah... As I suspected... Another telltale glance.
# Without doubt, your 'friend' is the writhing serpent we see before us!
# And yet...that fact leaves us in a quandary.
# The victim's written observations on the night in question tell of 'a speckled band'.
# Whereas regrettably...
# ...this specimen's markings do not fit that description in any way.
# What explanation can we then give, pray? What was this sight that fell upon the victim's eyes last night?
# You have the answer to this quandary even now...hidden behind your back.
# Yes! That which you are trying - but failing - to conceal, can only be the snake's sloughed skin!
# Evidently, after the subtle and horrible crime, this most deadly friend of yours...
# ...shed its original skin? No?
# Last night, through the ventilator visible in this cabin, your then speckled friend slithered next door.
# Using the bell cord on the other side as a bridge, the serpent silently descended into the victim's quarters.
# In the dim light, it appeared to the young gentleman who was about to lose his life as a speckled band.
# In summary, the nature of this 'friend' of yours, which last night infiltrated the scene of the crime...
# ...is a rare breed of snake whose markings change each time it sloughs its skin!
# A snake so dreadful, we can only imagine it would be found in the deepest depths of India.
}}
Conclusion: '''A beloved speckled snake'''
==Identity: Course Correction==
Just as they were before, Sholmes' deductions are followed by doubt. Susato says that a snake wouldn't have been capable of climbing the bell cord or hearing a whistle, putting serious holes in his logic. It is now up to Ryunosuke to correct the inconsistencies and reveal the truth.


Once you click on Sholmes, he comes to show what animal Pavlova owns in her small case and the surprise: A snake around Strogenov's head! He will propose a rather entertaining theory.
On '''statement 4''', turn the camera until you can see the back of Pavlova's hand. '''Present''' the '''claw scratch'''. Sholmes notes that the wound still looks fresh, and Pavlova confirms that it aches when she thinks about the events of last night. On '''statement 9''', turn your attention to the table next to Strogenov. '''Examine''' the '''photograph frame''' next to the teapot. '''Present''' the '''little kitten''' in the photograph. Pavlova admits that her kitten, Darka, is the pet that she smuggled onto the ship.
[[File:DGS icon Pavlova and Darka Photograph.png|right|70px]]
On '''statement 16''', rotate the camera around Pavlova until you can see what she's really hiding behind her back. Ryunosuke and Susato notice that the supposed snake's skin looks fluffy and has a handle, as if it were a cat's toy. '''Present''' the '''cat's toy'''. As it turns out, Darka escaped into Kazuma's room through the ventilator, and Pavlova attempted to use the cat's toy to lure it back. This would explain his observation of a speckled band hanging out of the ventilator in his diary. The '''Pavlova & Darka Photograph''' is then entered into the Court Record.  


==Sholmes Deductions==
Conclusion: '''A beloved kitten'''
If you're playing the "2021" version, you can skip the long winded theory that somehow, Nikolina uses her snake to go to Kazuma's room and poison him with his venom that leaves you, Ryunosuke, Susato and everyone shocked. But Susato points out some major inconsistency like whether snakes drink milk, listen to a whistle or even climb up a wall!
==The Great Deduction: How Mr Asogi Died==
{{DGS Reasoning
|char=Sherlock
|name=Herlock Sholmes
|subtitle=Topic 2: '''How Mr Asogi Died'''
|testimony=# Moving on...we come to the heart of the matter. The grim demise of the victim.
# How did this young man lose his life? And why?
# According to the data of which I have been apprised, it would appear there were no visible signs of injury.
# In fact, the circumstances of the victim's death can only be explained by a terrible venom!
# Now, if we take that as fact...
# ...we can reasonably imagine that there remains evidence to affirm it at the scene of the crime.
# Yes! An examination of the deceased's body will prove the cause of death conclusively!
# The almost - but not quite - imperceptible puncture wounds left by the venomous fangs will seal the truth.
# Yes, the vestiges of the snakebite delivered by your terrifying friend.
# There is no point feigning ignorance, Miss Pavlova.
# ...After the incident, you endeavoured to hide everything, didn't you?
# But now your involuntary glance betrays the hiding place you chose.
# That's right. You hid the evidence that links you to the victim's death in that travelling case!
# When we first met in this cabin, it came to my attention that your case moved periodically.
# Your serpent assassin was restless inside, no doubt.
# It is telling that the victim made note of a low whistling sound he heard minutes before his end.
# That was your signal, was it not? The sound you had used to train your serpent friend.
# Indeed, you'd put the serpent through this ventilator and wait. After a period, you'd summon it back with a whistle.
# You couldn't know if the animal had done its duty, so you would listen for signs of life next door.
# If the victim appeared not to have been dispatched, you'd release the snake once more.
# Do you deny this snake has undergone such training?
# Having slithered through the ventilator and down the bell cord, the creature needed only to sink its fangs in once...
# ...and its venom would course through the victim's veins, ending his existence forever.
# That is the true nature of the speckled band that took the poor young man's life!
# There can be no doubt! My logic is infallible!
}}
Conclusion: '''Death by a venomous snake's bite'''
==How Mr Asogi Died: Course Correction==
On '''statement 4''', Ryunosuke and Susato notice that Sholmes probably isn't aware of the examination done on the victim by the medical examiner. '''Present''' the '''Post-Mortem Report'''. A broken neck was the cause of Kazuma's death, not venom. On '''statement 7''', Ryunosuke and Susato note that Kazuma's broken neck could have been caused by a bad fall. '''Present''' the '''Mark on Floor''', which seems to indicate that Kazuma tripped.


Here is where you need to correct Sholmes deductions: Nikolina holds her hand because at the top part of it, there's a '''claw scratch'''. The next part involves looking at her picture frame with her '''little kitten''' with a bell named Darka. Next, she uses a '''cat's toy''' to call her kitten to no avail. Next, involves being poisoned by a snake but the '''post-mortem report''' doesn't show that. He actually fell over a '''mark on floor''' with a curious broken glass object. Lastly, in connection to that evidence, point to the '''wastepaper basket''' follow by the evidence of '''Pavlova and Darka Photograph'''. And the snake that's around Strogenov's head is Pirozhko that likes to eat mice! That explains the mouse trap outside her room.
On '''statement 13''', rotate the camera to get a view of the wastepaper basket under the desk. '''Examine''' the '''wastepaper basket''' and Ryunosuke and Susato will notice a familiar broken piece of glass inside. '''Present''' the '''wastepaper basket'''. The piece of broken glass in Pavlova's wastepaper basket connects perfectly to the piece found in Kazuma's room, putting her at the scene of the crime. Ryunosuke must then present the conclusive evidence that links Pavlova to the bell formed by the pieces of broken glass. '''Present''' the '''Pavlova & Darka Photograph'''.  


==Ryunosuke Narahudo's Investigation Closed==
Conclusion: '''Death by tripping over a cat'''
After the entertaining correcting the deduction is over, all that's left is solving all the riddles that winds up having you framed for murdering your best friend, with the help of Sholmes. Firstly, the '''crime scene photograph''' shows that it's no mere accident. Simply because there's no way Mr Asogi left the message on the floor. After all, he can't write it while he's already dead! Secondly, the '''mark on floor''' show's a piece of broken glass but only half the kitten's bell is shown. So how did the other half end up in Pavlova's cabin?
==Solving the case==
Following Sholmes' deductions and Ryunosuke's course corrections, Pavlova finally reveals her version of last night's events. However, Susato dismisses her story as more lies. Ryunosuke also notices some contradictions, and Sholmes encourages him to present evidence that proves that Kazuma's murder wasn't a mere accident. Firstly, '''present''' the '''Crime Scene Photograph'''. Ryunosuke points out that there's no way that Mr Asogi could have left the message on the floor, as the fall would have killed him instantly. Secondly, '''present''' the '''Mark on Floor'''; nearby is a piece of broken glass that was discovered to be one half of the kitten's bell. So how did the other half end up in Pavlova's cabin?


Strogenov interrupted and points out the other person in Asogi's room is you, Ryunosuke! But there's no way for you to write that Russian word while you're still sleeping inside the closet! But you point out the Russian word "wardrobe" is an attempt to put blame on Ryunosuke, to deflect attention on the real culprit. Strogenov goes on further to say Nikolai has been performing for two years and has been part of the sailor's band and that she did nothing wrong. Then there's the door lock. Susato suggests using needle and thread but that doesn't work since the bars are made of metal.

You point out that the Russian spelling of "wardrobe" is an attempt to put blame on Ryunosuke, and deflect attention from the real culprit. Strogenov goes on further to say that Nikolina has been performing for two years as part of the sailor's band and that she did nothing wrong. Then there's the issue of the locked door.


Sholmes suggests there's a way to bolt the door without lifting a finger. The evidence is '''the bookcase'''. As seen in "part 2", Sholmes must of pressed '''the emergency stop''' in order for the ship to sway sideways to lock the bolt into place. A flashback shows the inspector banging on the locked door. Strogenov is angry that Sholmes did press the emergency button.
Sholmes suggests that there's a way to bolt the door without lifting a finger. '''Present''' the '''bookcase'''. As seen in [[../Investigation, Part 2|part 2 of the investigation]], Sholmes tested the emergency stop in order to prove that the ship's swaying could have slid the bolt into place.


Anyway, Strogenov denies pressing the emergency stop in the middle of the night. The '''ship's log''' says otherwise. Between midnight and 2am it only says '''Nothing to Report''' but the rest is blank. Why after 2am did Strogenov forget to fill in the blanks? But first, Sholmes point out that everyone but Asogi ate chicken last night that is laced with '''a soporific drug''' to sleep through the emergency sound. Another flashback shows you waking up in handcuffs.
Despite Sholmes' argument, Strogenov denies pressing the emergency stop button in the middle of the night. '''Present''' the '''Ship's Log''' to shut him down. Between midnight and 2 a.m., the log says "nothing to report," but the rest is blank. Why did Strogenov forget to fill in the blanks after 2 a.m.? Sholmes also points out that everyone but Asogi ate chicken last night, suggesting that it was laced with a soporific drug that caused the other passengers to sleep through the emergency stop.


Continuing on, it's revealed while everyone's asleep, the crew helped Nikolai from a fishing boat on to this ship. Of course, Asogi's death can't be done alone as someone already tampered with the crime scene. The ink stain behind Strogenov proves that he's the one who helped with the Russian word as seen with the '''crime scene photograph'''. But something is unnatural on the photograph. Point at his '''left hand''' clench like a fist. He was holding a crescent moon with a gemstone in the middle. But where did it belong to? Point to Nikolai's right ear on what's suppose to be part of her earring. You conclude that he pulled her earring as he fell down at arms length.
Continuing on, it's revealed that while the ship's passengers were asleep, the crew helped Nikolina from a fishing boat onto the ship. Of course, Asogi's death couldn't have been done alone, as someone already tampered with the crime scene. '''Present''' the '''ink stain''' on the back of Strogenov's shirt to prove that he had some involvement with the tampering done at the crime scene. '''Present''' the '''Crime Scene Photograph''' to link him to the purple ink near the body. Sholmes points out that there is something else that is unnatural in the photograph. '''Present Kazuma's left hand''', which is clenched into a fist. Sholmes reveals that he was holding a crescent moon with a gemstone in the center. But where did it come from? '''Present Nikolina's right or left ear''' to conclude that Kazuma pulled her earring as he fell down at arms length, conclusively placing her in his room at the time of his murder.
==What ''really'' happened==
Nikolina Pavlova boarded the SS Burya in the dead of night while escaping her home country of Russia. She was aided by the crew, who remained fond of her due to her past with them. The crew drugged the passengers via the roast chicken in their dinners so that the emergency stop would go unnoticed, but because Kazuma Asogi gave his chicken to Ryunosuke, he remained awake that night. He was then visited by the kitten that Pavlova had smuggled onto the ship, via the ventilator that connected their two cabins.
[[File:DGS scene Ballerina Article.jpg|right|350px]]
Pavlova followed Darka to Kazuma's cabin in order to retrieve him, knocking on his door. Kazuma initially mistook her for Inspector Hosonaga, who had been ordered to guard him throughout the trip, but upon opening the door, greeted her politely. Kazuma then recognized her as a runaway ballerina, due to having seen her when she performed in Japan. She explained her circumstances and Kazuma agreed to keep quiet about them, but first mentioned that he wanted a second opinion.  


Nikolai reveals that Kazuma might pull the bell chain after losing her kitten, Darka, through the ventilator and has to go to the connected room to find the cat with Kazuma, thinking that she might be the inspector. After confessing her problems, Kazuma decides to use "another opinion". But Darka jumped from her arms and she pushed him, fearing that he might tell everyone about her. Susate also points out the last misunderstanding on what Kazuma is going to do. Point to the '''wardrobe''' where you were sleeping. Kazuma's is going to ask for your opinion in what to do. But it was too late due to the catastrophic misunderstanding. Nikolai apologizes for the last time before the scene ends.
As Kazuma approached the bell cord, Pavlova panicked, recalling that he had initially mistook her for an inspector. Believing he may somehow involve the police, Darka jumped from Pavlova's arms and she proceeded to push Kazuma. This sudden act combined with Darka's sudden presence at his feet caused Kazuma to lose his balance, and his head collided with the bed post, breaking his neck. Pavlova then ran to Strogenov for help, and he assisted in covering up the murder, framing Ryunosuke in the process.
==The end==

Following Nikolina Pavlova's confession, Susato points out that she misunderstood what Kazuma was about to do. '''Examine''' the '''bed''' for an achievement/trophy in the Steam/PS4 versions of the game. '''Present''' the '''wardrobe''' where you were sleeping to conclude the case. Kazuma was going to ask for your opinion in what to do, but it was too late due to the catastrophic misunderstanding. Nikolina apologizes for the last time before the scene ends.


==Becoming a lawyer==
After having a final chat with Strogenov who'll look after Nikolina on her way to America, you go to your room to pack up since you're a stowaway. But Sholmes chimes in, saying the study tour can't go on without a lawyer since Kazuma Asogi is gone. Inspector Hosunoga informs Ryunosuke that he'll be transported back to Japan, and Susato will go with him due to the conclusion of the study tour. But you decide to honor his legacy by becoming a lawyer after studying for a few months. Despite the Inspector's protests, Sholmes knows that you have a great ability to solve complex problems. You'll also be holding onto Karuma, Kazuma's sword.
After having a final chat with Strogenov who'll look after Nikolai on her way to America, you go to your room to pack up since you're a stowaway. But Sholmes chimes in, saying the study tour can't go on without a lawyer since Kazuma Asogi is gone. With Susato looking sad, Inspector Hosunoga informs Ryunosuke that he'll be transported back to Japan. But you decide to honor his legacy by becoming a lawyer after studying for a few months, despite the Investigators protest, Sholmes knows that you have a great ability of solving complex problems and using his instincts in this case. Also, you'll be holding to Karuma - Kazuma's sword.


With very little choice, inspector Hosunoga agrees to let you take over as a leader while Susato acts as your assistant. And the scene ends with Susato giving you a final toss to the ground with Sholmes ready to rumble. London, prepare to meet the ace attorney in the next episode "The Adventure of the Runaway Room".
