“Alfred said he saw someone else though,” Maya thought out loud, “that must be the real killer!”
“Hate to break it to you pal, but there’s no way that’s possible. Alfred was the only one in the alley when the police showed up.”
“So, the real killer escaped before they showed up.”
“To where? This alley’s a dead end pal. Look,” Gumshoe pulled out a diagram of the alley, “the body was here,” he pointed to an area near the end of the alley, “and the suspect was here,” a circle was drawn between the body and the alley’s entrance, “Where would your real killer have escaped to pal?”
Diagram of the Alleyway: A diagram of the crime scene. Press Check for more details…whatever that means.
“The real killer snuck past him! There’s plenty of room!”
“Yeah, but the police weren’t that far behind. They would have seen him pal.”
“And Alfred said he only thought he glimpsed someone,” I added, “If the real killer got that close, I’m sure he would have had a better look…and probably done something about it.”
“Nick, you’re not helping your case here!”
“What about this right here?” I pointed out a small gap between two buildings that someone might be able to slip though, “Maybe the real killer escaped this way?”
“Hey you’re right! Maybe the killer did slip away after all!”
“Where’s the gap?” Maya looked around, “I don’t see it.”
“It’s…right there,” I pointed, “behind…those crates.”
“…So your miracle gap was blocked off pal?”
“…Maybe the crates were moved after the murder took place?”
“The police have been all over this alley since the night of the murder pal. Nobody would have had the chance.”
(Something’s not right …Alfred definitely saw someone else, even if he won’t tell me who. How did that person get away? Unless---he let the real killer escape! And he’s lying to cover it up!)
“What’s up pal? You’ve got that look on your face like you’ve just figured something really important out.”
“Oh, nothing…”
“If you say so…whoa! Is that the time?”
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s time to switch shifts. You guys better get out of here before my replacement shows up.”
Not wanting to get him or us in trouble, we decided to go back to the hotel.
March 16, 11:10 AM. Westin Arlington Gateway Hotel, Lobby.
(Well, the lobby’s empty now. No sign of Franziska or the other guests. Guess they’re out sightseeing or something.) Just then I heard a piano melody play.
“What a pretty tune…” Maya said.
“Don’t let him hear you, it’ll go straight to his already inflated ego,” Gilbert stated, rather loudly, as he came up behind us, heading towards the piano on the other side of the lobby. Elizaveta was sitting next to a man I hadn’t met yet who was playing the piano.
“The only one with an over inflated ego here is you!” Elizaveta glared. The man kept playing.
“You know you love me,” he responded, “What’re you guys still doing here anyway?”
“That’s none of your business!”
The man finished his song and looked up, noticing the crowd that had gathered around him. “Oh, Gilbert, when did you get here?”
“Same as ever specs. You’ll never beat me if you can’t pay attention to your surroundings.”
“You must be the lawyer and his assistant,” he ignored Gilbert and stood to greet us. “Roderich Edelstein. Austria.”
Roderich Edelstein Age: 25 Gender: Male Works for the Austrian Government. A musician with an aristocratic aura.
“Phoenix Wright. And this is Maya Fey.”
“Nice to meet you!”
“Pleasure. Ludwig asked me to keep an eye out for you so I could give this to you.”

“He said you were asking about it before, so he went and made a copy for you.”
“Oh, well, tell him thanks…what’s with the abbreviations?”
“Those are everyone’s nationalities. It’s more of a formality thing really. Ludwig is very thorough.”
“What does Gilbert’s Pru stand for then? And what’s with the distinction between South and North Italy?”
“You’ll have to ask Ludwig about that. Those are his notes, not mine.”
“I thought Antonio was supposed to show up the day before!” Gilbert exclaimed, looking over my shoulder at the list, “Do you know what happened?”
“Of course I don’t, you moron. I was just handed the list; I know nothing about its contents.”
“Hey, no need to get so snippy with me! I was just asking!”
“Maybe we should go before we get dragged into this…” Maya whispered as their shouting escalated.
“Good idea…let’s see if Lovino is in…”
A/N: I know what you all are thinking: 1)Doesn't this part seem a little short? and 2)WTF, I have no idea what's going on in that alleyway. To answer those in reverse order, BEHOLD: Writer!Anon's mad MSPaint skillz, otherwise known as why Writer!Anon is not an Artist!Anon: http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/6163/alleydiagram.jpg You're welcome. Please note that is probably not to scale. Blue dot is for victim, red dot is for the assumed murderer, aka Alfred. This part was supposed to cover Lovino's interrogation as well, but it seems that whenever I write Lovino, he triples the word count and made this part double what it is now. Since Part 6 was really short and just has Arthur's interrogation and is the final part before Trial Day 1, I made the executive decision to move Lovino over there. On the plus side I should have that part up pretty soon.
EEEEEEEEE brb going over there to fangirl (OP)

I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS FILL TODAY AND AFTER I SUBMITTED MY OWN FILL I SAW YOURS AND I TOTALLY FANGIRL SQUEALED.
... Okay. Now I'm better. First) With the map, so long as people can get it, I don't think it's that much of a bother. xD Second) I love this part, despite it's apparently shortness. Funny as always, the parts that probably killed me were the part with Check to see more info... Whatever that means and this: “What!?!! Mr. Edgeworth actually thinks someone’s innocent?!?” (Looks like he’s rethinking his whole life’s purpose…) Why is Author!Anon so witty? OP is a lucky lucky girl. |D Third) Part 6 coming soon?! OH BOY I AM EXCITE.

I am blown away by Writer!Anon's mad MSpaint skillz. No really, these diagrams make the story alot easier to understand, since it's hard to get a clear view of the crimescene from text alone.
You got Gumshoe's character down perfectly, like the fact that he thinks Alfred is innocent solely because that's what Edgeworth believes (insert squeeing about how much I adore Gumshoe).
Yay! Two tsun-tsuns will be interrogated next. ~<3
