Naruhodo's Legal Consultancy
After the trial, you return to your apartment and talk with Susato.
- Today's trial: You recap the events of the trial, and Susato says that Shamspeare is currently being treated at St. Bartholomew's. You decide to visit there.
- What's next: Since the poison wasn't in the tea, how did Shamspeare ingest strychnine? Susato suggests examining the crime scene again.
- Kazuma's wishes: You reminisce about Kazuma. Why did he want you to come to London and become a defence attorney?
- Kazuma's true intentions: You remember how Kazuma asked you to help him do something very important in Great Britain. What was it?
After talking with Susato, Move to Sholmes' Suite and talk with the great detective.
Sholmes' Suite
- Lord van Zieks: Sholmes talks about how all of the defendants in van Zieks' trials who were acquitted all died. The prosecutor was investigated for possibly murdering them, but he had a rock-solid alibi. Lord van Zieks stopped prosecuting five years ago, but returned to the court the day you arrived in England.
- Japanese people: You note how van Zieks is racist against Japanese people. Sholmes reveals that before he entered the legal profession, van Zieks' best friend was actually Japanese! But the detective refuses to elaborate further.
- Foul smell: Sholmes shows you his latest invention, an awful-smelling chemical solution that can identify whether a cup of tea is genuine. He explains that it was actually a byproduct of his research into forensic science.
- Forensic science: Sholmes reveals another invention, a solution that reveals what objects a certain person has touched.
It's time to return to the scene of the crime. Move to Shamspeare's Room.
Shamspeare's Room
Detective Gregson compliments you on your skill in court and says Scotland Yard found the soap bar with the frozen tea coin. The police have taken it away to be tested for poison, and the results will be available later.
Examine Sholmes. He explain that his Skin Print Seeker gun will reveal the spots that Shamspeare touched when you spray the solution on them. Spray the room, and you will find two spots with an abundance of handprints: one on the wall by the picture, and one on the floor to the right of the table. The spot on the floor reveals a removable floorboard, which Gregson examines. Meanwhile, Sholmes gives you a photo of the Handprints on the Wall, which is entered into the Court Record.
Examine Gregson to ask about the secret spot under the floorboard. He tells you there were three items hidden there:
- Newspaper clipping: A clipping from a newspaper talking about a death row convict named Selden who died of illness in prison. The loot he stole was apparently never found. The Capital Offender Article is added to the Court Record.
- Photographic print: A picture of Mr. Garrideb and a young man. Inspector Gregson knows the man's identity, but won't tell you. The Hidden Photograph is entered into the Court Record.
- Tin box: A tin box that's completely empty. Why was this hidden there?
After you finish investigating the crime scene, Soseki's cat will come out. Let's go see his owner. Move to the Prison.
