Defendants' Antechamber

With this Shamspeare case close to its end, Herlock Sholmes arrives at last to announce that he has had the purple bottle from Olive Green's hospital room analyzed, and identified the poison it contained as strychnine. While this evidence is purely circumstantial for the time being, it may prove helpful in solving this case later. The Bottle of Poison is entered into the Court Record.

Inspector Gregson then arrives to address the article on the convict, Selden, found in Shamspeare's room. He conducted some research of his own into Scotland Yard's files on Selden and believes he found some information that could be relevant to this case. He copied that information into a file that he is now handing over to Ryunosuke and Susato. The Capital Offender's File is entered into the Court Record. With this new evidence in hand, it's time to conclude this trial.

  1. Green: It was six days ago, at about 5 p.m. I was walking along in the snow when I was suddenly stabbed in the back.
  2. Green: Coincidentally, it happened to be just outside the house where the men in this case have their lodgings.
  3. Shamspeare: I was at the tavern on the eve of which though speak'st, for I had bespoke my supper.
  4. Green: It was the first time I'd been in the area. I had a little matter to attend to, that's all.
  5. Green: Anyway, I was admitted straight to hospital, so I knew nothing about all of this business.

Press on statement 4 and Shamspeare will react to Olive’s words; pursue him. Miss Green’s Card will be added to the Court Record. Inspect the new evidence and Naruhodo will realise it matches with the Torn-Off End of Envelope. Both pieces of evidence will be updated.

Press on statement 3 to learn that Shamspeare was at an unusual restaurant on that day. When asked, choose present evidence and present Miss Green’s Card.

Olive will amend statement 5, stating that the letter has nothing to do with Shamspeare. Present the Torn-Off End of Envelope or Miss Green's Card. You say it was found in Shamspeare’s room, directly connecting the letter to him.

Shamspeare briefly breaks character and Olive is warned that anyone giving false testimony in a court of law will be severely punished. Olive is then told to give another formal testimony.

  1. Shamspeare: I do remember now. 'Twas a week ago, peradventure, that note was deliver'd unto me.
  2. Shamspeare: On the day writ therein, I did tarry a long hour at The Slug and Salad, yet nobody came.
  3. Shamspeare: Thereafter, on the evening I shared the company of the Japanese fellow, I did see the note had vanish'd.
  4. Green: I don't know what you mean. You think I snuck into this man's room, do you? Why would I?
  5. Green: I can point out the villain here! And as for that torn-off piece of the envelope, I don't know anything about it.

The Anomaly of the Note: Cross Examination

Press on every statement. A clear picture is being painted, and not by Olive.

Present on statement 4 the Bottle of Poison. Olive broke into Shamspeare’s room to cover the gas pipe in poison. Because of the police presence around the day of the accident, Shamspeare didn’t do anything suspicious for a few days. While Shamspeare was trying to murder Soseki Natsume, Olive Green was trying to murder him.

When asked which person was behind the motive for Olive trying to murder Shamspeare, present Duncan Ross’s profile. Just as Shamspeare was trying to kill Soseki Natsume, Shamspeare had already killed another the exact same way.

When asked for evidence that can explain the motive behind Shamspeare’s alleged crimes present the Capital Offender’s File. Ryunosuke reveals that during their investigation, the newspaper article about the convict and the photograph of Duncan were found in Shamspeare's room, but the tin box was empty. Olive Green reveals that she has the key from the box around her neck, causing Shamspeare to snap! Believed to be his motive, Shamspeare suddenly loses his mind about the treasure leading to an urgency in finding the hidden loot.

Present anyone but Olive when asked to identify the person who might have something that belonged to the convict.

Present the Handprints on the Wall when asked for a way to find the hidden loot. Herlock Sholmes makes an appearance beside Shamspeare. He asks you to find a Selden sample so he can find out the location of the loot. Choose to present a person when given the option. If playing the Chronicles version of the game, present anyone but Olive to earn an accolade. To progress the trial, present Olive Green’s profile. She still has the key that Selden touched.

With nothing left, Shamspeare finally gives up in a Shakespearean fashion. He confesses that before Selden died, he heard about the loot. Later on, once Shamspeare was out of jail, he tried to rent Selden's room, but Duncan was there. Duncan was to be wed to Olive Green as her fiance, but that didn't happen, as he tragically passed. Natsume then rented the same apartment that Duncan and Selden owned before. By chance, Olive overheard Soseki talking about his cursed lodgings, and realized there may have been more to Duncan's passing. In order to test her theory, she wrote to Shamspeare to go to the Slug and Salad, giving her time to check his room, including the floorboards, for secrets. This was also when she put poison on his gas pipe. Afterward, she was hit on the back by Garrideb's knife, creating a police presence in the area that halted Shamspeare's plans. Thus, regardless of her alibi, it could only have been her poison that caused Shamspeare to fall unconscious that day.

To be or not to be, Olive Green admits to her crime in trying to murder Shamspeare to avenge Duncan's death. The judge then gives Soseki Natsume a verdict of...

Complete Episode 2.

After having a conversation with everyone and saying goodbye to Natsume, Ryunosuke and the group go to Natsume's apartment to dig out the treasure. With Inspector Gregson nearby, what they find is yet another surprise: a collar with a capital B on it. Iris wants to write a story on this case, but Herlock forbids it. And thus ends the case involving the haunted lodgings of Soseki Natsume, the result of which will be felt in the mysteries to come.

How thou it thee happen?

It all started when Shamspeare was in jail with Selden at the time. Selden has left a hidden loot at Mr. Garrideb's place and tells him to collect it for him even though at an unknown time that he finally dies in jail.

After Shamspeare gets out of jail, he goes to Mr. Garrideb's place to rent Selden's place but Duncan owns that part of the apartment. So he's force to use the floor apartment instead. Being low of cash, he used soap and a fork to create coins through the snowy ice to get the electric generator going after making a small hole underneath the antique machine. This create frustration for the Almont company, sending Mr. Metermann to check in Shamspeare from the outside regularly for years.

Anyway, to get rid of Duncan, he used a trick which caused the death, creating the idea of a "cursed lodge". Just when it's successful, Soseki Natsume quickly rented the same place where Duncan left it. So when Shamspeare and Natsume see each other, they quickly became friends. As thanks to Shamspeare, he brings the tea over and goes for a "Romeo" and "Juliet" battle to see who's the strongest. When it gets late, Natsume goes back to bed and Shamspeare puts his plan into action but at the same time get knocked by an unknown poison which causes him to collapse while sitting on a chair, over the table.
