Day 4 - Turnabout great cow lord
“What does it say, Nick?”
Phoenix looked over the sheet of paper next to Hecatom’s body again and again, hoping that it would reveal some sort of secret.
‘It has a list of suspects, and he keeps mentioning that he’s innocent, but apart from that, there’s not much to go on.’
“…Is this my fault, Nick?”
Phoenix desperately wanted to tell Maya the truth, to tell her that her lack of vigilance had killed a man, in hopes that she would remain alert if she was ever tasked to protect another. But Phoenix needed her to be stable during the investigation.
‘No, Maya. If you hadn’t left, they might have killed you too. There’s nothing you could have done.’
“I know you’re lying, Nick. I’m going to train harder to make sure that I’m ready the next time.”
Maya’s determination was admirable, but Phoenix could still see the pain in her eyes from knowing that she let a man die.
“I’ve got the results you wanted, Mr. Wright.”
‘What did you find, detective?’ Phoenix replied.
“No fingerprints were found on the doorknob or gas canister.”
(Damn! Back to square one…)
“Either way, it looks like you should be heading to the courtroom now.”
‘Oh, right. Thank you, detective.’
“Court is now In-Session.” The Judge opened.
“The prosecution is ready, your honour.”
‘The defence is ready, your honour.’
Phoenix and Edgeworth looked at the Jury, ready to see who they would be cross-examining today.
“Jury, your suspect?” The Judge asked the group.
The Chief stood up, ready to announce the suspect.
“We the Jury call-“
“OKAY I GET IT, YOU SUSPECT ME. I’LL GO UP TO THE STAND.” great cow lord yelled in his megaphone, before marching to the podium.
“Ummm… okay. Mr. Meekins, your testimony please.” The Judge requested in confusion.
“I don’t know why you all suspect me, I’m innocent!
If you should suspect anyone, it should be Cyntalan!
You’ll all see that I’m innocent when I die.
Then you should cross-examine everyone who suspected me.
Especially The Chief or sikwidit or Pimp Willy or Immaculate or…”
“That’s enough, Mr. Meekins.” The Judge interrupted in frustration. “Mr. Wright, you may begin your cross-examination.”
‘Thank you, your honour. Now great cow lord, why do you suspect all those people?’
“Because they suspect me even though I’m innocent!”
“Actually, we weren’t going to call you to the stand, today’s suspect was meant t-”
“SHUT UUUUUUP” great cow lord yelled into his megaphone. “YOU’RE ALL GUILTY!”
“Could it be that great cow lord is trying to deflect accusations off himself because he has a guilty conscience?” Edgeworth asked the Jury.
“Fine! I’ll jump in the Bottomless Pit to prove my innocence!” great cow lord responded. “But you’ll see when I turn up innocent! You’ll all see! Then you’ll all be suspects. Especially you, Mr. Edgeworth!”
Phoenix tried to remind himself that it was his job to defend the innocent, but great cow lord made it difficult for him to even bother trying to defend him. Phoenix and the others watched as great cow lord approached the Bottomless Pit, then as he started pointing at people in the jury, yelling “GUILTY!” at them through his megaphone, before cannonballing into the Bottomless Pit. Everyone circled around the Pit, even though they already knew what they’d to hear.
…
Nothing. As expected.
“Well that was a waste of a testimony.” Maya said drolly.
‘There’s no doubt that great cow lord was paranoid, but we should double check who he pointed to before he jumped, just in case.’ Phoenix replied, still trying to make sense of why great cow lord had tried to confuse them all so much when he was innocent.
