- Decisive Evidence - [Dick Gumshoe]

There's something even more incriminating than the glasses under the victim's body, sir.

During his date, the victim was pushed from the bench area.

But he managed to write the culprit's name on the ground where he landed.

I don't like saying it, but it was clearly the defendant's name, "Maggie", sir.

With this piece of evidence and the glasses, it's hard to say she's not the culprit.

***

- Dustin and Maggey - [Dick Gumshoe]

Officer Prince and Officer Byrde had been going out for half a year.

It sounded like they were even talking about marriage.

The day of the incident just happened to be the victim's birthday, sir.

Maggey... I mean Officer Byrde, had gotten Officer Prince a present.

It was something she had gotten over 2 months ago.

I should know, 'cause she came to me to ask what she should get for him.

***

- Writing on the Ground - [Dick Gumshoe]

We first looked into the handwriting, sir.

Unfortunately, we couldn't confirm that it was the victim's handwriting.

Next, we checked the victim's pointer finger.

We found out that there was sand trapped under the victim's fingernail.

There were also scratches on the skin that were caused by him writing on the ground.

From this, we could confirm that the victim wrote this name with his right hand.

***

- What I Saw That Day - [Richard Wellington]

I was at the park all afternoon, deep in thought about my life situation.

I don't remember the time all that well, but I do believe it was past 6 PM.

All of a sudden, a police officer falls from above, right in front of my eyes.

Without a thought, I looked up, and there I met the eyes of a charming, young lady.

Of course I remember her sweet face. It was that of the pretty defendant there.

The only other thing I saw was the banana that fell with the police officer.

***

- What Happened Next - [Richard Wellington]

The girl on the upper path ran away as soon as she realized I was there.

After that, I immediately called the police station to report the crime.

It must've been 6:45 PM when I made the call.

They must have a lot of free time on their hands since they showed up within 10 minutes.

- Cause of Death - [Dick Gumshoe]

The direct cause of death was a pistol shot to the forehead, sir.

The shot was fired from point-blank range.

But before the victim was shot, sir, he was stabbed in the chest.

The wound was very severe, but not enough to cause instantaneous death.

The murderer used the pistol to finish the victim off after the stabbing.

***

- Incriminating Evidence - [Dick Gumshoe]

Sorry, pal but there's an even more incriminating piece of evidence.

This is the costume the defendant was wearing at the time of the crime.

As you can see, it's covered in blood.

The defendant attacked and killed a person who, without doubt, was not fighting back.

***

- What Transpired - [Dick Gumshoe]

During the channeling, the defendant saw her chance to stab the victim in the chest.

Of course, the victim used the last of his strength to fight back, sir.

While the two were fighting, the victim took out his gun.

The victim took a shot, but because they were too close, he missed.

The defendant then picked up on the opening, took the victim's gun and ended it...

***

- Witness's Account - [Lotta Hart]

Only the Doc and the defendant went into the Channelin' Chamber.

We were waitin' outside the door and then, "bang!" we hear this gunshot!

Mr. Lawyer there broke the door down, and we rushed into the room.

Inside was the dead victim, and the defendant, wavin' a pistol around.

I swear, other than those two, there was no one else in the room.

***

- Witness's Account Pt.2 - [Lotta Hart]

When we broke into that room, all I could focus on was Maya.

I was... uh, kinda scared of the dead body, so I didn't take a good look at it.

I'm really bad when it comes to blood and ghosts and stuff.

But I still managed to point my camera at Maya and take a shot!

***

***

- Maya's Escape - [Morgan Fey]

After we heard the gunshots, those two broke the door open and entered the Chamber.

I requested that Mr. Wright and the other lady please contact the police.

A pistol was hanging from Mystic Maya's hand and she was in a daze...

Then, quite suddenly, she thrusted me away from herself and escaped from the room.

With great strength, she hit the base of my neck and I fainted for a short while...

I'm afraid I have no knowledge of where she went after that.

***

- After the Murder - ['Ini' Miney]

Like, when the channeling started, I was, like, sleeping in the Side Room.

Like, a little later, someone came into the room, like, really suddenly.

It was, like, oh my gawd, totally my sister!

I, like, hadn't seen her in like, so long... I was so happy in, like, a sad way...

My sister... She, like, told me something, like, totally terrible.

***

- After the Murder, Pt. 2 - ['Ini' Miney]

Like, the Side Room was, like, kinda dark, you know?

So like, the costume is, like, purple right? The blood totally blended right in.

And I, like, persuaded my sister it wasn't, like, right to do something like that.

And then, like, I took my sister to the Channeling Chamber.

>> I, like, didn't see anyone on the way to, like, the Channeling Chamber.

***

- Last Year's Accident - ['Ini' Miney]

That was... like, last year, in May.

Like, something really bad had happened at, like, my sister's clinic around then...

And like, the night of the accident, my sis was totally tired while she was driving.

>> I, like, didn't have my license, so, like, I couldn't take over driving for her.

I was, like, totally pooped too, so I, like, fell asleep in the passenger's seat...

I, like, woke up 'cause of a jolt, and, like, it was a sea of flames around me.

I, like, opened the door and, like, got away.

***

- I Wouldn't Be Allowed - ['Ini' Miney]

Like, around that time, I was, like, really close to getting my license.

My sis was, like, this totally big fan of cars and, like, really valued them.

She, like, had just gotten this really shiny, bright red sports car.

>> My sis' new car was, like, a totally special model from England.

She, like, would say things like, "No way am I letting a newb drive my car!"

So, like, that's why I ended up in the passenger's seat that night too.

- Details of the Events - [Dick Gumshoe]

The night of the crime, snow was falling until 9:40 PM, making it extremely cold out.

All of the circus performers gathered in the Big Top to practice their routines.

The practice session broke up around 10 PM.

The murder itself took place in the plaza in front of the lodging house at 10:15 PM.

The victim was found bent over a wooden box dead as a doornail.

The cause of death was blunt force trauma that snapped a vertebrae in his neck.

***

- What You Witnessed - [Trilo Quist (Benjamin Woodman)]

Once practice was over, I left the tent with the stooge... I mean clown.

Once we got to the lodging house, I ditched him and went over to the plaza.

That's when I saw Max heading towards the scene of the crime.

He was the only one heading that way... How could that punk not be the killer!?

Then the police showed up, and took magic boy away.

***

- About the Proposal - [Trilo Quist (Benjamin Woodman)]

Don't be so surprised that I was going to propose to Regina!

I even had something to give to her...

>> I planned on giving an engagement ring to Regina...

I kept it in my pocket, waiting for the chance to propose and give it to her.

Of course, I also had it in my pocket that night. It was a present for her.

In the end, I wasn't able to give it to her, so I've still got it in my pocket!

***

- Witnessing Max - [Trilo Quist (Benjamin Woodman)]

I'll give you that I was waiting that night for Regina.

But that doesn't change the fact that I saw Max at the plaza that night!

He showed up after I had been waiting there for about five minutes.

I said "good evening" to him, but he didn't even acknowledge my presence.

I'm absolutely sure it was him! I saw Maximillion Galactica at the crime scene!!

There's no way I could mistake someone wearing those three ridiculous symbols!

***

- What You Witnessed - [Lawrence 'Moe' Curls] // Moe messed up. So no cross examination

I know... I know... I'm not the greatest comedian in the world...

I haven't been able to make people laugh for 10 years!

No matter what I say, all I get in return is a vacant stare and polite applause.

Since no one ever laughs at my jokes, I've taken to laughing at them myself.

It's a bad habit, but hey, at least I'm trying!!

Imagine my predicament! I'm a clown who can't make people laugh!! I'm almost useless!

But I keep trying... I even tried to come up with jokes just for today!!

But this atmosphere is very nerve-racking! I decided to try making everyone laugh!

Seriously... Everyone... What do you think of me? How am I doing?

***

- What You Witnessed - [Lawrence 'Moe' Curls]

The night of the murder, after practice was over, I went straight back to my room.

You have no idea how tired I was that night. I was pooped.

I thought I'd go straight to sleep, but before I did, I glanced out the window.

>> I heard a huge noise outside the window, and that's what made me take a look outside.

That's when I saw two silhouettes! They were a bit far away though!

It was the Ringmaster, and he was with Max, who was wearing his cloak!

I kept watching them, and all of a sudden, Max clonked the Ringmaster over the head!

***

- The Silhouette - [Lawrence 'Moe' Curls]

I was a bit far away, but that shadow could only have belonged to Max.

There's no doubting it. Especially since I saw his uppity symbols.

His silk hat. That black cloak. They were all there!

His face was silhouetted, but there was no doubt that it was him.

His cloak was fluttering in the wind, so I couldn't really see what he was carrying.

***

- The Silhouette, Part 2 - [Lawrence 'Moe' Curls]

There's no doubt in my mind! There were no white roses that night!

However, all of the other symbols were there... I'm equally sure of that.

Especially the silk hat! There is no way I could forget seeing the decorations on it!

He was wearing it the entire time that he was on the scene!

***

- The Truth - [Lawrence 'Moe' Curls] // Moe's testimony caused an immediate adjournment

Now it's time for our next segment, "Moe knows..."!!

Everything I've said up until now has been the truth!

When I looked out the window, the Ringmaster was down and Max was standing above him!

He wasn't wearing his white roses, but he was wearing the silk hat!

That's when I saw... He...

This is the truth now, get ready for it!

He flew! He jumped up and flew through the air!!

He flew right off and disappeared into the darkness!

That's why there were no footprints! Flying people don't leave footprints!

***

***

- What You Witnessed - [Ken 'Acro' Dingling]

It was just after 10:00 PM, and I was resting in my bed.

Around that time, I heard a large "THUMP" noise from outside the window.

Then a few moments later, I saw someone... Flying... Right by my window.

It was Max Galactica... I only saw him from behind, but that's who it looked like.

To be honest, when I saw that, I thought I was dreaming...

***

- Acro's Physical State - [Ken 'Acro' Dingling]

I suppose I could have lifted something the size of that bust.

I have a strong upper body from working as an acrobat, and only my legs were injured.

However, lifting the bust and looking out the window would've been impossible.

There's no way I could have exerted that kind of force on my lower body.

That makes it impossible for me to have known the location of the Ringmaster's head.

Thus, it would be unrealistic for me to drop the bust on him. Don't you think?

***

- About the Ringmaster - [Ken 'Acro' Dingling] // You can choose not to cross-examine

When we were little, we were abandoned by our parents.

That's when the Ringmaster of the Berry Big Circus, Russell Berry, took us in.

I became an acrobat at around nine years old.

I wanted to find a way to repay the Ringmaster. That was my sole purpose in life...

- Bare Facts of the Case - [Dick Gumshoe]

This murder happened after the Hero of Heroes award ceremony, sir.

The victim, Juan Corrida, was found dead in his hotel room.

After looking into the cause of death, we believe he was definitely murdered, sir.

At first, we thought there was something suspicious about the empty guitar case.

However, we later found out that the guitar case had nothing to do with the murder.

***

- Why Arrest Engarde? - [Dick Gumshoe]

Matt Engarde and Juan Corrida were huge rivals with each other.

They each thought the other guy was "in his way." That's motive in my book.

As for evidence... There's the Jammin' Ninja's button.

It was ripped off of the ninja costume and was found in Mr. Engarde's "hakama."

The defendant's fingerprints were also all over the knife.

The defendant bought the knife for the crime... Which makes this a premeditated murder!

***

- What You Witnessed - [Wendy Oldbag]

Anyway, after the ceremony, I went to pace around in the hallway in front of his room.

There was something I was interested in finding out, you know...

Well, since I was on the job, I made sure to keep a good eye out the whole time.

That's when someone showed up! It was a man coming out of poor Juan's room.

It was Engarde. Matt Engarde. He was trying to sneak his way out of Juan's room!

>> He was wearing his flashy racing jacket. Honestly, it's all just for show.

***

- Who I Saw - [Wendy Oldbag]

Engarde... Engarde... Yes, now I remember!

The Nickel Samurai, that's right, it was the Nickel Samurai that I saw!

Yes, it would have been convenient for him to wear his costume during the murder.

He had to go to that post-ceremony stage show right after the crime, you know.

So he must've worn that Nickel Samurai costume when he was stabbing poor Juan.

***

- Secret Information - [Wendy Oldbag]

That Engarde is one evil, evil man!

He thought he could ruin poor Juan by causing a huge scandal!

So to do that, he sent his own manager to get in close with Juan!

I cannot condone such dirty tricks! So I took action!

...Oh, and this is top secret, you got that!? Nobody else but you and me know yet, OK?

***

- When I Found the Body - [Adrian Andrews]

It was time for the show to start, so I went to get Matt from his room.

After that, I went to Juan's room.

And there was his dead body. I... I was in shock...

What I saw was, naturally, the exact same scene as in the crime scene photo.

I felt as though I was about to faint, so I poured myself a glass of juice.

>> I was the one who knocked the flower vase over, where it fell onto the guitar case.

***

- The Guitar Case - [Adrian Andrews]

I don't remember too clearly because I was a bit dazed.

I suppose I must have opened the guitar case... after I knocked the vase over.

It's not a big deal though, right? The case was empty after all.

As for why I opened the case... Even I don't know.

***

- Protecting Matt - [Adrian Andrews]

From the moment I saw the crime scene, I had a feeling that Matt was the murderer.

Matt had to kill Juan no matter what.

And he didn't have an alibi for what he was doing at the time of the murder.

My thoughts were confirmed by the evidence, of course; the button and the knife...

>> That button was torn off of Juan during his fight with Matt.

But I'm Matt's manager... So I felt I had to protect him...

***

- When I Found the Body - [Adrian Andrews]

That glass of juice... I didn't really pour it for myself.

I was surprised when I walked into the room and saw it in that messy state.

And Juan... He was sitting slumped over and tired-looking in the corner.

When I saw him sitting like that, the thought that he was dead didn't cross my mind.

To be honest, I thought he had just fainted or something. So I went to pour him some juice.

When I realized that he was dead... That's when I knocked the flower vase over.

***

- My "Crime" - [Adrian Andrews]

When I first saw him... I really thought he had fainted. Honest.

When I realized he was dead... That was when I formulated my plan.

Once I made sure there was no one in the hallway, I made a dash back to Matt's room.

And then... I stabbed Juan's dead body with the knife, and ripped off the button.

Just when I finished and was returning to Matt's room... I had a bit of an inconvenience.

And that's why... That's why I ended up using the Nickel Samurai costume.

***

***

- Visit to Matt's Room - [Will Powers]

After the award ceremony, I went by myself to Matt's room.

Matt was standing there in front of his room, still in his Nickel Samurai costume.

He was talking with someone. At first, I thought it was the bellboy.

>> Matt gave the bellboy a tip.

I watched the two of them for a while, but then I gave up and went back.

I had guests with me that night, and I couldn't make them wait for me.

***

- The Second Time - [Will Powers]

This time, I was in that hallway because I had to go to the bathroom!

And that's when that bellboy I saw earlier came out of the room!

Of course, when I say "room", I mean Juan Corrida's room!

Now that I think about it, that bellboy did seem kinda out of place!

>> I thought it was kinda strange for a bellboy to come out of a guest's room empty-handed!

Yeah! So he had to be the assassin! I'm sure of it!

***

- Their Second Meeting - [Will Powers]

After leaving Juan's room, the bellboy went and knocked on Matt's door, just like that.

He gave something to the person inside the room.

>> If I saw it again, I could say for sure, but I think it was some sort of wooden statue.

Then the old guy just left, without even going into the room.

After that, I went to the bathroom and then back to my seat.

***

- The Bear Figurine - [Adrian Andrews]

Actually, this is an elaborate puzzle.

If you know the correct order, it can be taken apart one piece at a time.

At its center is a small cavity, with just enough room to store a small item.

Because of its complexity, if you don't know the order, you can't open the bear.

You really can't tell that it's a small "jewelry box" just by looking at it.

***

- About My Client - [Shelly de Killer]

There is something I must first state.

To an assassin, nothing is more important than the trust between a client and himself.

And that is the reason I am here today on this witness stand.

It is my wish that you grasp this concept before I give you the name of my client.

>> Now then, I do believe it's about time I revealed the name of my client, don't you agree?

***

- About My Client, Pt. 2 - [Shelly de Killer]

As I have already stated quite a few times, Adrian Andrews is my client. However.

One thing I simply cannot overlook is tampering with the scene of the crime.

My client did it to frame another for the crime.

While pretending to be the first person to discover the body and enter the scene,

Adrian Andrews already knew from the very beginning that Juan Corrida was dead!

But even more appalling is the creation and planting of the "knife" and "button".

That act is what I was referring to when I said my client had "broken the rules."

***

- Request Taking - [Shelly de Killer]

This request came to me... oh, about a week ago.

It was a request for my services on the night of the awards ceremony.

We met at a certain bar to discuss and finalize a few matters.

>> From the moment I saw him, I thought, "I can trust this person as a client."

That is what occurred. I trust my memory, and I believe I have made no mistakes.

***

- Request Taking, Pt. 2 - [Shelly de Killer]

Yes, now I remember, I took that request by mail.

There have been times when I took a job without having met my client.

The request was for the murder of Juan Corrida and 2 or 3 other small things.

>> One of these was to find the bear figurine and give it to Adrian Andrews.

When I saw the name at the end of the letter, I thought my client to be a man.
