?????????
 
Isn't it obvious?
Finding the accused guilty...
 
That is a prosecutor's job...
 
But then, why…?
Why are you doing this…?
 
Haven't I told you before?
In order to get a guilty verdict...
 
I'll use any means.
 
(There's a gunshot. We see Yuuki)
 
I am a genius prosecutor.
 
That's what I must always be.
 
 
March 14th, 2:56 am
High Prosecutor's Office - room 1202
 
 
Edgeworth:
.........
 
Gumshoe:
Whooop!
Prosecutor Edgeworth!
Are you all right!?
 
Edgeworth:
Quiet down, Detective Gumshoe.
 
Gumshoe: 
When I heard there was an incident in your office, I flew right over, pal!
 
Edgeworth:
This man is Dick Gumshoe, a detective who has handled my cases for a while now.
 
Gumshoe:
You look pale, pal! 
Are you hurt?
 
Edgeworth:
No. I'm fine.
However...
 
Gumshoe: 
Ahh! Your office is a mess!
 
 
Edgeworth:
My name is Miles Edgeworth. I'm a prosecutor in the District Public Prosecutor's office. Waiting for me after a month long trip overseas were... a murder victim in my office, and the beginning of a new case.
 
Edgeworth:
This incident happened in my office. I'll solve it myself.
 
Gumshoe:
That's it, Prosecutor Edgeworth!
Let's investigate! Investigate!
 
Edgeworth:
You're right.
First, we have to gather "information." (In order to find the truth, we can't overlook even the tiniest detail. Anything that stands out will be engraved on my memory).
What bothers me the most...is why did this incident occur in my office?
 
Logic: "My office is the crime scene."
 
Edgeworth:
(...Hm. I've engraved it)
 
Gumshoe:
Why would there by an incident in your office... It couldn't have been "coincidence" right?
 
Edgeworth:
You're right. It couldn't have been. Because of this...
 
Gumshoe:
The room key... What do you mean?
 
Edgeworth:
Simple "logic." If you think about it reasonably, it's obvious.
 
Gumshoe:
"Logic"...?
 
Edgeworth:
Find a connection between "information" and "information" and you can combine them to create new "information." That's what we call following "logic." (Let's remember what we have on the Logic Panel already)
 
＜ロジックモード＞
<Logic>
 
Edgeworth:
For security's sake the door to this office is locked. Neither the culprit nor the victim could have entered very easily. No incident could have happened in this office by accident.
 
Gumshoe: 
Y, You're right!
 
Edgeworth:
(Why is this room the scene of the crime... What was the culprit after?)
 
Gumshoe:
Way to go, Prosecutor Edgeworth. Your "logic" is brilliant!
 
Edgeworth:
Hmm. Once you've pursued a connection between pieces of "information" the truth becomes clear. (However...)
(If you make a mistake in the connection, the truth gets further away from us. When building on "logic" I must think carefully...)
Now, let's begin investigating the scene.
 
Gumshoe:
Roger!
 
Investigation Phase Start
 
High Prosecutor's Office - room 1202
 
Gumshoe: 
Prosecutor Edgeworth!
The basis of investigation is "examining!"
 
Edgeworth:
I know... In order to "examine" I have to get close to whatever needs checking and press the "examine" button.
 
Gumshoe:
If you want to talk to me, press the Partner button! I can give you all sorts of helpful advice as a "Pro Investigator!"
 
Edgeworth:
(Hmm... I'll try talking to him if I get bored...)
 
 
<Examine: Steel Samurai Figure>
Edgeworth:
This area wasn't disturbed. It looks like my Steel Samurai figure is safe.
 
Gumshoe: 
Now that you mention it, what is Steel Samurai about?
 
Edgeworth:
I don't know the details... but "Defender of Neo Olde Tokyo Steel Samurai" is a hero show aimed at children, with the Steel Samurai defeating his antagonist, the Evil Magistrate. The story and production values are so high that some adults enjoy it as well.
 
Gumshoe:
Prosecutor Edgeworth... You know a lot about the Steel Samurai!
 
Edgeworth:
......!
A, Anyone knows this much.
We're wasting time!
Let's get back to the investigation!
 
<Investigate: The flowers>
Edgeworth:
These flowers... They seem fresh...?
 
Gumshoe:
Every month we get flowers and photos addressed to you, pal.
 
Edgeworth:
Could they be from...the security guard's wife?
 
Gumshoe:
...Yeah. The one with the deep voice that always follows you around.
 
Edgeworth:
(Why is it always the strange ones...)
 
<Examine: King of Prosecutors shield>
Gumshoe:
Ah! This trophy!
It's for... the something for Prosecutors!
 
Edgeworth:
...King of Prosecutors. And it's not a trophy, it's a shield.
 
Gumshoe:
It only goes to the best prosecutors, right?
 
Edgeworth:
...That's right. However, I'm not interested in valuating the worth of others. Only I can determine my own worth.
 
Gumshoe:
Th, That's so cool!
I'm gonna try saying that!
 
Edgeworth:
(...Though the detective's salary does depend on my valuation of him).
 
<Examine: Broken teacups>
Gumshoe:
Ah! Those teacups are broken - be careful!
 
Edgeworth:
....
Damn you, culprit...
How dare you break my teacups...!
 
Gumshoe:
Whoa, you're really mad!
 
Edgeworth:
These are precious teacups that can only be obtained in England.
...They're worth more than one month of your salary. 
 
Gumshoe:
Wh...
Whaaaat!?
I feel like I've just lost on month's wages!
 
 
<Examine: Fallen Chess Board>
 
Gumshoe:
Ahh! The chess board was overturned!
And I really thought we'd play now that you're back!
 
 
Edgeworth:
...Detective, you have an interest in chess?
 
Gumshoe:
I'm better at shogi, but I want to try chess too!
 
Edgeworth:
Hmph... There'll be time after this case is settled.
(I'll win, of course).
 
<Examine: Edgeworth's desk>
 
Edgeworth:
I haven't used this desk in a while. It is best to use one you're familiar with. ...Hm? It feels newer than I remember.
 
Gumshoe:
When I heard you were coming back, I put all my heart into polishing it! It's even shinier than a mirror now!
 
Edgeworth:
Didn't you have to work while I was gone?
 
Gumshoe:
Protecting your office *was* my job!
 
Edgeworth:
...You mean, the office a murder was committed in?
 
Gumshoe:
......It's pretty harsh when you say it like that.
 
Edgeworth:
(Well... the desk is very shiny, so I won't dock his pay this time)
 
<Examine: Sofa>
 
Edgeworth:
I'd like to relax on this sofa.
 
Gumshoe:
I'm jealous - this sofa is softer than my futon at home! Can I try sitting on it?
 
Edgeworth:
...Detective, I can't allow that. We can't rest until the case is solved, can we?
 
Gumshoe:
...! You're right!
I'm gonna work hard!
 
Edgeworth:
(Not that I think he'll really have time to rest even after it's solved).
 
<Examine: Book case>
 
Gumshoe:
The files from the book case are scattered all over the floor.
 
Gumshoe:
Why would the culprit do that?
 
Gumshoe:
I did my best to keep it clean while you were gone...
All my hard work has gone to waste!
 
<Talk: Gumshoe>
 
Gumshoe:
You called?
 
<Talk: Gumshoe / About the investigation>
 
Edgeworth:
Detective Gumshoe. You know how to conduct an investigation, don't you?
 
Gumshoe:
Of course!
In order to examine something, you use the examine button! Examine lots of things to gather "information!" Then "combine" the "information!"
 
<Present: Gumshoe / Prosecutor Badge>
 
Edgeworth:
That's the proof of my profession. It's very important.
 
Gumshoe:
But even without that, you're still Prosecutor Edgeworth! Don't worry!
 
Edgeworth:
(Not that I was worrying...)
 
<Talk: CSI>
 
Edgeworth:
Well?
 
CSI:
Shh... Please be quiet. Fingerprints are delicate...
 
Edgeworth:
(...I'll be careful)
 
<Talk: Policeman>
 
Edgeworth
Have you uncovered anything?
 
Policeman:
Sir! I haven't discovered any "suspicious people" but I do see a "suspicious object!"
 
Gumshoe:
Oh! Well done.
 
Edgeworth:
(A "suspicious object..." I'll investigate).
 
<Examine: Revolver>
 
Edgeworth:
This is...
(Could this revolver be the murder weapon?)
 
Gumshoe:
Hm? I've seen this revolver before, pal. It's the same model as the detectives use when they need one.
 
Edgeworth:
(Same as the revolvers detectives you...)
 
<Examine: Victim>
 
Edgeworth:
(I already have a photo of the corpse. I'll go right into investigating it. Let's take a closer look at these suspicious parts).
 
<Examine: Notebook>
 
Edgeworth:
This is...
 
Gumshoe:
Ah!
This is a detective's notebook!
 
Edgeworth:
...Let's look inside.
Shinji Nakamado... It seems that the victim was a "detective" like you.
 
<Combine in Logic Mode "revolver" "the victim was a detective">
 
Edgeworth:
A revolver used by detectives...
Could this revolver have belonged to the victim?
Detective, could you investigate the victim?
 
Gumshoe:
Roger!
Let's see.
What could there be...
Ah! You're right, he's wearing a holster!
 
Edgeworth:
Hmm... So the culprit stole the victim's revolver and shot him with it.
 
 ((The Victim's revolver)) is added into evidence.
 
<When new evidence is added>
 
Gumshoe:
Should I take the evidence we've collected?
 
Edgeworth:
No...that's all right. The evidence will be safest with me.
(The evidence we've gathered is recorded in the Investigation Log). 
(If I need to confirm a piece of evidence, I can press the "Investigation Log" button. I'd better check all my information on the case).
 
<Examine: Notebook / 2nd time>
Edgeworth:
It's the victim's detective's notebook.
It must have fallen when he was attacked by the culprit.
 
Edgeworth:
I'm very careful not to drop my notebook!
 
Edgeworth:
Oh...?
 
Gumshoe:
I always put it in my coat. Then I'll never lose it!
 
Edgeworth:
(...Doesn't that coat ever get cleaned!?)
 
<Examine: Holster / combine in Logic Mode "revolver" "the victim was a detective">
 
Edgeworth:
A holster... Hard to believe he was killed with his own gun.
 
Gumshoe:
Killed with a weapon used to protect civilians... It sure is frustrating. I'll definitely get whoever did this!
 
Edgeworth:
(Because they're peers... Detective Gumshoe is acting more like a detective than usual)
 
<Examine: Bloodstain on the ants / combine in logic mode "revolver" and "the victim was a detective">
 
Gumshoe:
...Speaking of a bloody butt, I once hurt my butt pretty badly too. When I was in elementary school I didn't realize a tack had dropped onto my chair, and I thumped right down on it!
...It's a painful memory.
 
Edgeworth:
(I wasn't asking about you...)
 
<Examine: Corpse>
 
Edgeworth:
The victim's dead body... Let's start by examining its condition. The area around his stomach seems to be bloodstained. 
 
Gumshoe:
Looks like the bullet pierced his stomach...
 
Edgeworth:
Death by gun shot wound...
 
 ((Body memo)) added to the investigation log.
 
<Examine: Book case files>
 
Gumshoe:
This is awful! The files were all stacked so nicely, but now they're falling off!
If there's an earthquake it'll be raining files in here!
 
Edgeworth:
....
Th, That would be a problem. Once the investigation is over I'll replace them properly on the shelf.
 
<Examine: Fallen files>
 
Edgeworth:
Could this be proof that the culprit attacked the bookshelf?
 
Gumshoe:
He must have been looking for something!
 
Edgeworth:
That's right. We should investigate to see if any files were stolen.
 
Gumshoe:
We'll know for sure if we return them to the book case!
 
Edgeworth:
Yes. We'll try it once we've finished investigating the body.
 
<Examine: Any blank space>
 
Edgeworth:
There's nothing here.
 
<Present: Gumshoe / Anything other than the badge>
 
Gumshoe: 
Prosecutor Edgeworth! Now's no time to be talking to me! There was a murder in your office! I'll catch the culprit for sure!
 
<Examine: Everything around the body / examine the body again without combining "revolver" and "the victim was a detective" in logic mode>
 
Edgeworth:
(We've already investigated here...)
 
Edgeworth:
(This is all we can investigate from the body.)
Let's get those files back where they should be...
 
???
Ryou!
Why?
How could this happen?
 
Edgeworth:
....
You there. We're investigating a murder scene. I'd rather you not touch the body.
 
???
Excuse me, I was distracted.
 
Yuuki:
I'm Makoto Yuuki. I'm a prosecutor. Ryou was my partner...
 
Edgeworth:
I'm Miles Edgeworth, also a prosecutor.
 
Yuuki:
Edgeworth...
So, this is your...
 
Edgeworth:
That's right.
This is my office.
 
Yuuki:
You!
Did you kill Ryou!?
 
Gumshoe:
What makes you think that?
Calm down, pal!
 
Yuuki:
Any High Prosecutor's office should be locked. Of course the prosecutor who uses it would have the key!
 
Edgeworth:
...That's correct.
However, I did not kill him.
 
Gumshoe:
That's right. Prosecutor Edgeworth has been overseas all this time. I'm the one that had the key, so I'm the only one who could have gotten into the office.
Ha ha ha.
Hm? Which means...what?
 
Yuuki:
Did *you* kill Ryou!?
 
Edgeworth:
Calm down!
 
Yuuki:
.....!
 
Edgeworth:
We haven't finished investigating the scene. Isn't it too soon to be jumping to conclusions?
 
Yuuki:
....All right!
Okay!
We'll create a unified front!
First, let's shake hands!
 
Edgeworth:
......
Right. I'm counting on you.
 
Yuuki:
But first, can I have a moment...?
CSI!
 
CSI:
Yes!
 
Yuuki:
I'd like you to capture my parting with Ryou on film. Our final memory together...
 
Edgeworth:
.......
 
 (He takes a photo)
 
Yuuki:
.....
Thanks for waiting.
I'm all right now!
 
Edgeworth:
Now, let's put the fallen files back where they belong.
 
 (the bookcase)
 
Edgeworth:
There's no mistaking it: the crime took place here.
?
What...is this?
 
Gumshoe:
Huh? What is it?
 
Edgeworth:
Don't you see, Detective? There is a large...
Yes, a "contradiction."
 
Gumshoe:
What do you mean...?
 
Edgeworth:
("Contradictions." It reminds me of how he fights...)
I'll do things my way now. By finding contradictions between the crime scene and the evidence. Thus begins my deduction. Once I've found a contradiction, I pick the source and press the "deduction" button. Then I pick the contradicting evidence and...press the "present" button!
...That's how *I* do it.
 
Edgeworth:
(There's something strange here, isn't there?)
 
<Talk: Policeman>
 
Edgeworth:
Have you noticed anything?
 
Policeman:
Sir! Seeing Prosecutor Yuuki cry has made my tears fall uncontrollably!
 
Gumshoe:
...
Did you know the victim too?
 
Policeman:
No! I cry easily!
 
Edgeworth:
...You're misleading people. You should stop your crying.
 
<Talk: CSI>
 
Edgeworth:
Well?
 
CSI:
Shhh... Please be quiet. Crime scene investigation is very serious.
 
Edgeworth:
(...I'll be careful)
 
<Talk: Yuuki>
 
Edgeworth:
Prosecutor Yuuki. Let me ask you something.
 
Yuuki:
Ryou will never talk or cry again... So I'll talk enough for both of us!
 
Edgeworth:
....
No, never mind.
(I don't want to get involved with that)
 
<Talk: Gumshoe>
 
Gumshoe:
What's wrong?
 
<Talk: Gumshoe / What's bothering you>
 
Edgeworth:
What's wrong?
 
Gumshoe:
Prosecutor Edgeworth, it's not like you not to have pointed out a contradiction by now! If something seems suspicious, keep investigating, and when you see a contradiction press the "deduction" button!
 
<Examine: Bookshelf>
 
Edgeworth:
(Right here... There's something strange.)
 
<Examine: Books>
 
Gumshoe:
Everything's here! Nothing's missing!
 
Edgeworth:
The culprit moved the body so that he could investigate the book case, but... (Did he not find what he was looking for?)
 
<Examine: bloody handprint>
 
Gumshoe:
It's the victim's handprint.
 
Edgeworth:
Yes. He must have put his hands here after he was shot.
 
Gumshoe:
There are handprints on the ground, too.
 
Edgeworth:
As if he tried to brace himself when he fell...
 
 
<Examine: Blood pool on the floor>
 
Edgeworth:
It looks like the victim sat here after he was shot.
 
Gumshoe:
Ah! That's why his butt is covered in blood!
 
Edgeworth:
Yes, it would seem so.
 
<Examine: Body>
 
Edgeworth:
The culprit moved the body away from the book case.
 
Gumshoe:
The bloodstain on his butt is proof of that!
 
Edgeworth:
Well. It seems so...
 
Gumshoe:
I think I can really do this!
 
<Examine: Bullet hole in the book>
 
Gumshoe:
This must be a bullet hole left from when the victim was shot.
 
Edgeworth:
If there's a bullet hole in the file... that would mean the bookcase was emptied "after the crime." 
 
Gumshoe:
That's why he moved the body to get to the book case.
 
 
<Deduction>
 
Edgeworth:
(This spot... does it have some connection to my evidence?)
 
<Deduction fails>
Edgeworth:
There's a clear contradiction here!
 
Gumshoe:
I don't think there's a connection...
 
Edgeworth:
Hmph... You don't see it? That itself is the contradiction. Yes.
 
Gumshoe:
Prosecutor Edgeworth... when you're wrong, you should just admit it!
 
Edgeworth:
I, I'm not wrong! I'll prove it!
 
<Deduction succeeds>
Edgeworth:
This bullet hole is a contradiction!
 
Gumshoe:
What do you mean?
 
Edgeworth: You don't see it? It's simple. This bullet hole is too low. The victim was shot in the stomach. It's strange that the bullet isn't higher up.
 
Gumshoe:
Which means...!
...What?
 
Edgeworth:
...Why don't you try figuring it out yourself? This file with the bullet hole is positioned strangely. The culprit positioned them wrongly. Let's put them back. 
 
Gumshoe:
This is how they looked before the body was moved!
 
Edgeworth:
As I thought... The bullet hole should be around here. The criminal must have been investigating the files before the murder took place.
 
Gumshoe:
When he put them back, he screwed up the order.
 
Edgeworth:
The crime was committed after that (we've reconstructed the scene at the time of the crime. Now to take a closer look)
 
 
<Talk: Gumshoe>
 
Gumshoe:
What's wrong?
 
<Talk: Gumshoe / about the case>
 
Edgeworth:
This case...
What do you notice about it?
 
Gumshoe:
I wonder what the culprit's motive was...?
 
Edgeworth:
(So you haven't noticed anything...)
 
<Examine: Revolver>
 
Edgeworth:
This revolver belonged to the victim. Why would the culprit intentionally leave evidence behind?
 
Gumshoe:
Maybe he just forgot it?
 
Edgeworth:
....
That's only something *you* would do.
 
<Talk: CSI>
 
Edgeworth:
Can I have a moment?
 
CSI:
Shh... Please be quiet. Investigating crime scene fingerprints is a matter of majesty.
 
Edgeworth:
(...I'll be careful)
 
 
<Examine: Bookshelf>
 
Edgeworth
(We've reproduced the scene as it was before the crime. Time for a closer look)
 
<Examine: Bloody hand prints>
 
Edgeworth:
They're the victim's hand prints. Now there's no contradiction with the body!
 
Edgeworth:
Yes. After he was shot, he must have put his hands here. (And then the body was moved... I need to check the scene more closely again).
 
<Examine: Body>
 
Edgeworth:
There must be a reason that the body was moved. Let's continue investigating the scene, Detective.
 
Gumshoe:
Roger! I'm on fire!
 
<Examine: Bullet hole>
 
Edgeworth:
The bullet hole really does belong here.
 
Gumshoe:
Why would the culprit move the books twice?
 
Edgeworth:
You're right... There are too many things we don't know about the culprit's motives.
We need to gather more information.
 
<Examine: Files on the lower right. You can barely see "Gumshoe" written upside down on the files>
 
Edgeworth:
Th, This is...!
 
Edgeworth:
Wh, Whaaaaat!?
 
Yuuki:
It seems you've fund some decisive evidence...
 
Edgeworth:
Yes...
It seems that way.
 
Edgeworth:
No!
This must be some mistake!
Prosecutor Edgeworth, says something!
 
Edgeworth:
...One of the files was stolen.
 
Gumshoe:
Not that!
 
Edgeworth:
(Is this what the culprit was after?)
 
"Stolen file" was added to the investigation log
 
Investigation Phase Over
 
Yuuki:
Ryou wrote out the culprit's name at the very end. I've received his message!
 
Gumshoe:
No! I didn't do it!
 
Yuuki:
Ryou says you did...
Isn't that enough?
 
Edgeworth:
I see. In that case, let me hear your deduction.
 
Yuuki:
I'd be happy to!
 
Edgeworth:
(There's something strange about his attitude. There should be a contradiction in his deduction that will unravel it)
 
Gumshoe:
Prosecutor Edgeworth! What are you going to do?
 
Edgeworth:
Basically, it's just like the "cross examination" that happens in court. I'll point out the contradictions in his deduction.
 
Gumshoe:
How will you do that? Tell me too!
 
Explain how
Don't explain how
 
<Don't explain how>
 
Edgeworth:
Prosecutor Yuuki... Let's begin.
 
Gumshoe:
You don't have to ignore me...
 
 
<Explain how>
 
Edgeworth:
First, I'll listen to what he has to say. Then, if I spot part of his testimony that contradicts the evidence... I'll press the investigation log button and "present" it! (Of course, I'll use the "present" button for that...)
 
Gumshoe:
I think I've got it! I'm going to try it when I investigate too!
 
Edgeworth:
Hmph. In that case, use me as your role model.
 
 
Prosecutor Yuuki's Deduction
 
Yuuki:
Detective Gumshoe. You stole the revolver and shot Ryou. Then, you cleared the bookshelf on purpose, so that it would look like robbery. That's when you moved Ryou's body from the book shelf. However, because of that you failed to notice the bloody writing blocked by the body. That's how you were trapped by Ryou's final message.
 
Edgeworth:
His dying message points towards the killer, hm...?
 
Yuuki:
I can hear Ryou's voice. He wants me to capture the culprit.
 
Edgeworth:
Hmph... I hope you're not mishearing him.
(I'll prove the contradictions in his deduction using the evidence!)
 
Confrontation Begins
 
Yuuki:
Detective Gumshoe. You stole the revolver and shot Ryou.
 
<Press>
 
Edgeworth:
It's been bothering me all this time...
 
Yuuki:
Hm? What?
 
Edgeworth: 
Why do you call the victim "Ryou"? The victim's name is "Shinji Nakamado."
 
Yuuki:
I always call my partners "Ryou." "Yuuki and Ryou"...Doesn't that have a nice ring to it?
 
Gumshoe:
So it has nothing to do with his actual name?
 
Yuuki:
"Yuuki and Shinji" just doesn't cut it. He's the 3rd "Ryou" I've had.
 
Edgeworth:
(Hmph. He's like a pet...)
 
 
Yuuki:
Then, you cleared the bookshelf on purpose, so that it would look like robbery.
 
<Present>
 
Edgeworth:
Was there a need to rearrange the books twice just to make it look like a robbery?
 
Yuuki:
You're right... So what if he really did intend to steal something?
 
Gumshoe:
What would I steal!?
 
Yuuki:
How should I know? Maybe your salary has gotten so low that you're having trouble living?
 
Gumshoe:
I eat three meals a day!
....
But they're all instant noodles.
 
Yuuki:
You poor thing. You're so cruel, Prosecutor.
Isn't that enough of a motive?
 
 
Yuuki:
That's when you moved Ryou's body from the book shelf. 
 
<Press>
 
Edgeworth:
Why would he do that?
 
Yuuki:
Because it was in the way of him clearing the bookshelf.
However...
 
However, because of that you failed to notice the bloody writing blocked by the body.
 
Edgeworth:
Why do you think the culprit missed the bloody writing on the files?
 
Yuuki:
Because they were behind the body, and he didn't check closely enough. That's why he missed it. It's something Gumshoe would do, isn't it?
 
Gumshoe:
What do you think you know about me!?
 
Yuuki:
I can tell a lot about you from a first impression.
 
Edgeworth:
(Hm. I can't argue that point...)
 
Gumshoe:
Not you too Prosecutor Edgeworth!
 
Yuuki:
In a way it's like "Nice play!" After all, because of that...
 
Yuuki:
That's how you were trapped by Ryou's final message.
 
<Press>
 
Edgeworth:
His final words... His message to you, you mean?
 
Yuuki:
That's right. Ryou was a great detective.
He would have to be, being my partner.
 
Edgeworth:
(He doesn't seem to understand the true meaning behind those bloody letters...)
 
Yuuki:
What are you muttering about? My logic is perfect, isn't it?
 
Edgeworth:
(There's a big hole in his deduction... Yes, a hole known as a "contradiction." I'll make him see by presenting some evidence)
 
<Preset: Fail>
 
Edgeworth:
Prosecutor Yuuki. There's a clear contradiction to your deduction.
 
Yuuki:
I don't think it contradicts anything. What are you trying to say?
 
Edgeworth:
Er, nothing.
Never mind...
 
Edgeworth:
This isn't like you Prosecutor Edgeworth! Hang in there!
 
Edgeworth:
(Damn. I'm getting further away from the truth. I need to be more careful!)
 
<Press: success>
 
Edgeworth:
Prosecutor Yuuki. There's a clear contradiction to your deduction.
 
Yuuki:
Oh! This feels just like a courtroom cross examination. All right! I'm getting heated up!
 
Edgeworth:
.....
I can't help but think it's strange.
 
Yuuki:
Strange?
 
Edgeworth:
That you're a prosecutor like me. The quality at the prosecutor's office certainly has fallen.
 
Yuuki:
Wh...
What!?
What's with the bad jokes all of a sudden. Ha ha ha.
 
 
Edgeworth:
If you have time to laugh, take a second look at that dying message. There's a clear contradiction... Haven't you noticed? There's one file missing...
 
Yuuki:
What...?
No! It can't be!
 
Edgeworth:
There was a file here relating to a "certain incident." After the crime took place, the culprit stole that file... He must have noticed the bloody writing on it.
 
Yuuki:
Maybe the file was stolen before the crime!
 
Edgeworth:
It's obvious it was stolen after the bloody writing was written; after all, the writing is interrupted by the missing file. If the culprit was Gumshoe...there's no way he could have overlooked his name written on it. Not even the slowest detective could!
 
Yuuki:
Grr!
 
Gumshoe:
Which means...what?
 
Edgeworth:
We can assume this dying message was actually a diversionary tactic.
 
Yuuki:
......
 
Edgeworth:
Well? Prosecutor Yuuki?
 
Yuuki:
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Well done! Well done! That is Olympic level logic!
 
Edgeworth:
I'm flattered by the praise, but your deduction is still flawed.
 
Yuuki:
Maybe. Everyone fails sometime. Ahh. What a shame. The truth is, I didn't want to have to say this. ...Who has the key to this office?
 
Gumshoe:
That's me. But Prosecutor Edgeworth just proved my innocence!
 
Yuuki:
Actually, there's one more person who can unlock this room.
 
Edgeworth:
(One more person...?)
 
Yuuki:
Hey you! Bring her in.
 
Edgeworth:
(Did he say...her?)
 
Yuuki:
She's a "guard" at prosecutor's office. She may be a suspect in this crime.
 
Gumshoe:
Huh? A guard? That! That can't be!
 
Yuuki:
Do I need to introduce you? Security Guard Maggey Byrde.
 
Maggey:
Gumshoe...
 
Gumshoe:
Maggey!
 
Yuuki:
Last night, she was in charge of the prosecutor's office... That's right. She has the "master key." She can unlock any door here.
 
Gumshoe:
Whaaaaaaaaaat!?
 
Edgeworth:
(*sigh*... It looks like we'll need a little more work before this case is solved. I'll never let the criminal who stained my office with blood go free.  I'll discover the truth of this case and punish the guilty. In the final game!)
