Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 5: Rise from the Ashes/Day 1 - Investigation: Difference between revisions

It has been two months since your last case. Maya is still away at training and you haven't been taking any of the cases you've been offered. You come to your office one day only to have a girl barge in looking for Mia Fey's help. Mia's not working here any more of course. She wants someone to defend her sister in a murder case. Phoenix refuses at first, but after hearing the girl's concern for her sister, Phoenix recalls Maya's sorrow after seeing her sister's dead body for the first time. Phoenix finally accepts. Happy to hear it, the girl introduces herself as Ema Skye, a scientific investigator.

*'''Ema:''' She is still a high school student — an eleventh-grader to be exact. Despite her young age, Ema is already ready to become a forensic scientist. She wants to use her skills to clear her sister's name.

*'''Lana:''' As Chief Prosecutor, Lana overlooks every case each prosecutor takes in the district. She puts her hand near her heart in shock for you not recognizing her. Ema then notices Lana's hand is cut. Lana accidentally cut herself as she stabbed the victim.

*'''Relation to Mia:''' Lana knew about Mia, because Mia was intellectually attracted to her. Lana is extremely smart, so she helped Mia study to become a defense attorney in law school.

Ema apologizes to you about Lana. Lana hasn't always been so cold. In fact, she used to be a happy, smiling person that everyone got along with. Phoenix then decides to go to the Underground Parking Lot at the Prosecutor's Office. Move there.

You see the police still investigating there, then you meet a man with sheriff garments on, whom Ema recognizes. The sheriff warns you not to mess with their "gold strike", then leaves. Ema tells you that the man is actually a detective. Pan to the right, and '''examine''' the car, but the sheriff catches you. Ema wants to know to whom the car belongs. The sheriff then gives you the address for the "Prospector's Office" (he means High Prosecutor's Office). The sheriff once again tells you not to touch the car. You automatically pan left. '''Examine''' an object just below and left of the door. It's a wallet. Phoenix wants to give it to the police, but Ema wants to keep it, as she wants to show you a new scientific way of examining objects.

Move to the other side of the crime scene, you will want to examine the car. The mysterious cowboy will return and give you a paper to the 1202 floor.  

*'''Lana:''' He met Lana two years ago on a case and she took him under her wing. He's disappointed that it appears she now would try and frame him for murder, even going so far as to use his knife in the stabbing. '''Edgeworth's Knife''' is added to the Court Record.

Suddenly, a police officer barges in saying he has information on a case. However, it doesn't concern Lana, so Edgeworth has the officer, Mike Meekins, leave. Edgeworth then tells you to go to the Police Department, where Meekins works. Move to the Police Dept. Entrance, accessible from the Underground Parking Lot.

*'''The investigation:''' Gumshoe was kicked out of Criminal Affairs, where only the highest-ranking people are being let in.

The Chief of Police himself is leading the investigation, and assigned Officer Marshall to the Underground Parking Lot. This is odd, because patrolmen like Marshall aren't usually in charge of crime scenes.

'''Examine''' The Blue Badger. Gumshoe says that the Chief designed it and Gumshoe built it himself. It's battery powered, and there's no switch, so it dances until the batteries die out. The '''Blue Badger Panel''' will be added to the Court Record. '''Present Goodman's ID''' to Gumshoe. Apparently Goodman drops his ID card a lot. Gumshoe then realizes that Goodman is in fact the victim in the case! '''Talk''' to Gumshoe again:

*'''Rumors at law:''' Gumshoe tells you that while there have been rumors about Edgeworth's underhanded dealings, since the last case where he was accused of murder, it's gotten even worse.

If Gumshoe doesn't give you the Letter of Introduction, you must first examine the Blue Badger in the background.

Move to the Underground Parking Lot.

*'''The victim:''' He tells you that Goodman, the victim, was stabbed according to the Autopsy Report, which will be added to the Court Record.

Marshall then tells you something surprising: Goodman and Lana barely knew each other. He tells you that the only time they met was a case they worked on together. It doesn't seem like there's a motive there.

Marshall tells you that Gumshoe being kicked out of the Department was order by the Chief of Police, because Gumshoe loved working with Edgeworth.

'''Examine''' the blue button on one of the phone's sides. You'll open the cellphone. There is a blue redial button in there. '''Examine''' that one, and then a phone will start sounding the Steel Samurai ringtone. Sound familiar? Marshall then comes over wondering what's going on. He tells you that the phone belongs to Lana Skye herself, and that she was apparently calling someone as the murder occurred. However, it is not known who she called. Phoenix tells Marshall that it was his own phone ringing from someone calling the wrong number. The '''Cell Phone''' will be added to the Court Record.
