AAI1-5, Turnabout Ablaze

Ambassador Palaeno talks about how the Primidux Statue shows sovereignty, which is why each country's embassy insists theirs is the real one. Palaeno didn't know Manny Coachen was involved in a smuggling ring. Allebahst and Babahl were on the verge of reuniting if not for tonight's events. Allebahst has the real Primidux Statue.

Palaeno had given Gumshoe a Silhouette Lantern, which burns green with special Babahlese whitcrystal oil, the same substance involved in the Babahlese ink. Kay gives us a weird guitar Pick that's wet and Ms. Yew's Perfume that we saved.

We poke around the Rose Garden and figure out how the "Yatagarasu" could leave a shadow on the wall by lining up various statues with the spotlighting available. Does the Yatagarasu have an accomplice in Babahl?

We get a strange flying photo of the Yatagarasu. lol Lotta Hart reference?

Palaeno attests to green flames, but the bottle of Babahlese ink on Coachen's desk is still pretty full. We match the DeMasque II note shape to a notepad in Coachen's desk - he must have ordered the theft of Allebahst's Primidux Statue.

We use Little Thief to recreate the chaos. Plenty of things have changed since the fires. We find some Wire in the grandfather clock, the big green flame fire was probably caused by the Counterfeit Bills which are printed with Babahlese ink.

The embassies on each side of the building are symmetrical. The fireplace on the other side had a rotating wall. Shih-na came from the room next door after Kay found the recently late Mr Coachen and screamed. We suspect the person Kay was chasing used the fireplace to escape next door [where Shih-na came from, suspich].

The Logic parts here were a little finicky but we got 'em eventually. The ashes Palaeno expected to be there had been pushed into the other room, even more evidence of it being used as a passageway.

Investigation Complete

Gumshoe has the weird note examined by the lab boys, turns out it is in Coachen's handwriting. Edgeworth starts putting the screws to Shih-na on why she didn't see the "Yatagarasu" if she was right there in the next room.

Pretty nifty paired sprites here of Lang and Shih-na as they remove their sunglasses together and point at Edgeworth, claiming her innocence.

We'll have to figure it out next time! See you then!
