Mr Edgeworth, I trust this will suffice as evidence.

The photographs that follow illustrate the evidence given to me by my associate, which he collected from the house of Alexis Hargreaves.

Excellent work, Lord Cain. This will be perfect-- I shall need to examine them further for a forensics examination, but these images will go on record.

As you wish, this will be kept quiet. Prosecutor Gavin and Mr. Sasha Nein are highly trustworthy, and we should probably keep this as quiet as possible until we are able to see who exactly we can trust within the police force.

Thank you. Of course. As it stands, there's no proof that this isn't just green ink. A verification that this is Emerald Forest will help our investigations greatly.

I agree Mr Nein is quite trustworthy, though I'm not acquainted with Prosecutor Gavin. If you feel he is trustworthy, and you've made him privy to details related to this, then I shall trust your judgment.

My concern is that, should my father or anyone with whom he associates, hear of this, he will immediately disappear, and we'll be left with nothing but proof and evidence, but no guilty party.

Furthermore, after Blitza's death, I don't want some half mad vigilante stealing my revenge from me.

I'll get to work on it right away, then. I shall come by the Opera House tonight by seven, and collect it-- and I understand your fears entirely. While Mr. Blitza's death was most unfortunate, the fact that it happened at all makes it vital that no information from what we are doing gets leaked. I should hope your agent within your father's ranks can be kept silenced as well.

I have not informed Prosecutor Gavin yet, but he has been working with me. He was the reason I involved myself in this case, with him having been the victim of poisoning by Emerald Forest.

Perhaps this makes the reason a lot more personal, but we are men of the law, and none of the other Citizens need to bend to the whims of such madmen. As for yourself, Lord Cain... I hope this will help you correct your personal problems with your father as they rightfully should be handled. He will be brought to justice.

Very well, I shall expect you then. So long as I can keep the indigos and absinthe flowing, he should be content. I doubt that he'd be willing to announce what my father did while still in his ranks. That would be suicide, and he dislikes a mess on his capes. Nor is it his style to take this sort of thing into his own hands. He sees to his own affairs and no one else's.

I see. Then it would make sense to have him included in this.

He is difficult, if not impossible, to bring to justice-- This is more of the same thing it always was with us-- What do I hope to accomplish with this?--

Thank you. I certainly trust that he will be.

Indigos and absinthe, is it? Lord Cain, this might be a bit personal to ask, and if it has no connection to the case at hand, then you needn't answer... but...

What kind of a people does your father have under him? And why exactly, is he doing the sort of things that clearly puts him at risk with the law? I do not know how much power he holds in your home world, but to do something of this nature here indicates that he might perhaps have garnered enough control to pose as a threat to the public at large.

Who is he, exactly?

[misterblackbird]

He's a monster, obviously.

That much, one can tell without needing to ask.

But a monster does not gain power without feeding itself on the weak. If you know anything about his strength and how he works, now would be a good time to tell us. I would not want my investigators to put themselves into risks they could not handle.

Especially since this is a matter which I assume, you will like to handle personally, when he is apprehended.

In the past, he's gathered around him--or under him, really--people who are willing to do as he says, for whatever goal it is that he's declared. Often that goal is hardly his real intention, but it brings followers to him. Then he uses them, like pawns in a chess game, sacrificing them without a moment of consideration. They are tools to him.

As for weaknesses, I've yet to find a certain one. But he is mortal, and that is a weakness in and of itself. If one can stay out of his snares, one can avoid him or escape him.
