The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures/Episode 5: The Adventure of the Unspeakable Story/Trial, Part 4
The contents of the box
Picking up where they left off, in the courtroom, the small box that's been retrieved from Windibank's Pawnbrokery has turned out to be a music box. Inspector Gregson objects to the music disc being played, but the prosecutor is unfazed and allows it to happen anyway. But once it finally plays, it's just singular notes! Is there more to this than meets the eye? Ashley Graydon laughs off, believing that he's been vindicated and saying the music box is "broken".
At the prompt, select the second option, "It could be a clue". Then, select the third option, and say it's "Not supposed to be music". Suddenly Mr. Graydon is not amused anymore, but you will still be asked to provide evidence to explain what's going on here. Iris examines the box and reassures you, it's not broken... but for some reason it was specifically made to be only able to play a single note. How curious, right?
When prompted, present Today's Newspaper, BUT make sure you have examined it first. You might have come to this point without doing so, and in this case, examine it, turn it around and check the back where the news are upside down. You will be updated about a leak in secret communications between Great Britain's Ministry of Justice and its allies. The plot thickens... Anyway, once you're done examining this, the evidence will update and NOW you can present it.
In conclusion, the contents of the music box appear to be a message in Morse code. Also, the communications office that deals with such high-level communications is the one that employs Mr. Graydon and Juror 5. Two months ago, a negotiation went underway inside the omnibus for the information conteined in the disk, but said item ended up unclaimed at the pawnbrokery. If anyone found it before it made its way out of the country, the person responsible for creating it in the first place would be in pretty big danger, so the culprit had to recover it at all costs... and everything is pointing to Ashley Graydon as the mole who made this all possible.
Once again, Graydon is asked to testify to counter these accusations, and the Skulkin brothers want to chime in too.
Graydon, Nash and Ringo's Testimony: Graydon's Counter
- Graydon: A mere communications officer couldn't possibly steal confidential government information!
- Graydon: Besides, the sounds produced by that music box aren't even Morse code!
- Graydon: It was some low-class brickmaker negotiating with McGilded anyway, was it not? I've no relation to the man!
- Nash: Look, all we dun is break into the gaff the other night like wot 'e told us to do!
- Ringo: If we'd known there woz dodgy gov'ment secrets involved, we wouldn't 'ave touched it!
Graydon's Counter: Cross Examination
Before anything, examine the underside of the music box. Ryunosuke will talk about pushing the button will open it up and you can put a second disk in there. Remember that.
Press the first and second statement. Select “Give it a try” on the second statement. Examine the button again and present the other side of the music box.
Press the fourth statement and pursue Ringo. Select add it to the testimony. Now press the new statement. When it asks you if you want them to elaborate select the name if you want to progress the story (the business option just gives you some fun backstory).

Graydon's Testimony: The Moment of the Shooting
- While these ruffians were jostling with the broker, I was still near the entrance to the shop.
- When Windibank threw Nash over the counter, I felt a sharp pain in my arm.
- I pursued the man but he shut himself in the storeroom. I could see him through the peephole in the door, though.
- The accused, in a black coat, shot the man in the back as he was trying to flee to safety!
- I saw the blood spatter all over that wretched girl.
- Then she tossed the gun out of the peephole. So I picked it up...and made my escape.
The Moment of the Shooting: Cross Examination
Press everything, but remember to press the 6th statement, pursue Nash when the time comes.
Then the cross examination gets interrupted.
