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.

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.

|contents=Open a file in your Court Record, then choose "Check", and you should see a 3D rendering of the object, with three panels on the left, bottom, and right of the screen. The left allows you to zoom in and out on the objects if you have to look closer, the bottom and right ones rotate the object left and right, and up and down, respectively. If you see something interesting, examine it, like usual.

You then meet a young woman who is there selling lunches. The woman tells you that she is connected to the case, and so she must be the witness Lana mentioned. She says she saw the stabbing with her own two eyes and introduces herself as Angel Starr, the "Cough-up Queen". Talk to Angel:

*'''Edgeworth:''' Edgeworth is having a hard time dealing with all the rumors around that he forges evidence and wins his cases with illegal methods. He considers the trophy to be a joke award, meant to humiliate him.

*'''The day of the crime:''' He says every year, his office is cleaned up and evidence sorted and put away in what's called "evidence transferal". A ceremony is then held at the Police Department to award outstanding policemen and prosecutors.

Ema will note that it took 30 minutes to get from the Prosecutor's Office to the Police Department, with very little traffic. Here, you'll see a dancing machine called the Blue Badger. You then see someone dancing with it. It's Gumshoe! Talk to Gumshoe:

After the discussion, examine the phone on the back wall, just left of the yellow and black column. Ema tries it out, but it doesn't work. Examine the wooden door just left of the ladder. It's locked. Then examine the striped wall. There's a faucet hanging out and Ema realizes it's really a water tank. Pan to the right, and examine an object lying just left of Edgeworth's car. It looks like someone's cell phone. You have a choice whether to check it out or not. Say "Check it out", and you automatically start checking it.
