Part 80: Case 5 - Rise From the Ashes - Investigation (Day 2) - Part 6
Case 5 - Rise From the AshesInvestigation (Day 2) - Part 6
We're starting off heading back to the evidence room with our new toy.

:
(Our investigation turned up a suspicious handprint.)

: Here, in this blood on the detective's evidence locker.

: A finger...?

: Each finger leaves behind a slightly different imprint.

: So let's choose the finger that will have left behind the clearest print!

: I really can't tell the difference at a glance...

: Quit procrastinating and choose a finger!
Selecting it brings us to the next new minigame.

: Let me show you how it's done.

:
(Ema's starting to get that sparkle in her eyes...)

: First, we sprinkle the aluminum powder around.

: Huh? How do you do that?

: Ah... it looks like that did the trick.

: The aluminum powder adheres completely to the print.

: Once the powder is well spread...

: just blow away the excess.

: Huh? How do I do that?

: You just blow. With your breath.

: Wow... that looks like fun!
(It might take some getting used to though...)

: It's fine! It won't go up your nose or anything.

: You just pour the powder on thick, and blow away the extra!

: Those are the basics of fingerprinting, Mr. Wright!

:
(I guess I'd better give it a try...)
So yeah, drop powder, then blow into the microphone.

: But... this looks nothing like a fingerprint.

: Hmm... Now that you mention it, I guess it doesn't...

: What does it mean?

: It think it means...
...it?

: we're out of luck.

: Out of luck...?

: The person who left this handprint must have worn
gloves.

: ... Don't tell me we've been wasting our time here!

: Hey, calm down. That's just the way it goes sometimes with scientific investigations.

: But... it does seem a shame.

: While we're at it, why don't we look for other prints?

: Other prints...?

: Looking at the locker door again closely...

: Let's see if we can find a
clear print!

:
(Hmm... fingerprints outside the blood...)

: D-dazzling...?

: Anyway, this print took a lot of effort to find.

: Let's match it up right away!

: So we're not done yet? This is quite a process...

: Well, there's no point in finding a fingerprint...

: and not knowing who the owner is, right?

:
(I guess she's right...)

: Look at the fingerprint data we got from Mr. Edgeworth...

: and point out the person you think left these prints!

: Huh? How am I supposed to know who it was?

: I could make a pretty good guess.

: The bloody handprint and the fingerprints are in different places right?

: That means that the prints probably don't have anything to do with our case.

: So, whose fingerprints would we most likely find on this evidence locker?

: ...

: Something wrong, Mr. Wright?

: You gave me this "so what?" look.

: I guess that's probably because I was thinking "so what?"

: Okay, so we came up with nothing this time, but there's always next time!

: Sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss!

: You gotta roll with the punches, Mr. Wright!

: Thanks for the sympathy.
(Wait... If I remember correctly... there was one other handprint in this room. Let's check it out!)
There is indeed.

: This is where we got a luminol fluid reaction, right?

: Right!

: There was a
handprint here!

: Okay, let's check for prints!

: That's the spirit!

: Oh! But I have to warn you about something first.

: What?

: The area with the blood was wiped away, right?

: Any prints in that area will have been wiped away too.

: Oh... right. So... that means
no prints.

: Would you say that the probability of your hypothesis is

: high?

: D-don't ask me!

: Anyway...

: We must try to find prints that weren't wiped away.

:
(Prints other than the ones left by the bloody hand...)

: Whgose are they? Whose!? Is it someone I know?

: It's Officer Marshall!!!

: Huh? O-Officer Jake Marshall!?
The fingerprints are added to our evidence, but I forgot to check them.

: Th-that's got to be a coincidence!

: He's not involved in the crime!

: Ema. This are decidedly different from Detective Gumshoe's prints.
...this are?

: ...!

:
The luminol reaction. The blood and the fingerprints are in the same place.

: Oh... Oh!!!

: But why would Officer Marshall...

: It looks like our investigation is finally turning up some results!

: ...!

: I guess this is what you'd call "
decisive evidence"!

: I... I don't believe it!
Next time: The long-awaited return to court!
