WrightWorth: Ace Attorney Bridge To The Turnabout "A Phoenix Rises From Pain"

"Miles Sees Just How Hard Phoenix's Job Is"

'And this is where the murder took place, sir! Other than removing the body, we left everything else untouched!'

he said as he showed him around, miles shivered a little as the cold breeze hit against his face, ...he still didn't understand how phoenix could like this, the freezing cold hitting your face with snow all over the ground, making your boots all soggy, ..the only thing he liked about the place so far was the mountain views

'Oh yeah, by the way... I thought I'd better ask, just to be sure... Are you really gonna defend that nun, Iris, at the trial tomorrow?'

he asked him, miles nodded 

'yes, I will... I gave her my word and now I must follow through with my commitments'

'Well, in that case... I've gotta be careful... Gotta make sure I don't leak the prosecution's whole investigation...'

he warned him, not wanting to see his friend get into any trouble, miles grimaced as he reassured him

'Don't worry about it, Detective. Just keep this a secret and I think most of it will flow out on its own'

'... Roger, sir! I know exactly what you're saying!'

he said, shoullting him, miles sighed as he just let him do his own thing while he investigated

'What's this...? It looks like a wizard's staff'

miles said as he examined it, gumshoe eyes shot up as he spoke

'That belonged to the victim, Ms. Elise Deauxnim. There's nothing strange or magical about it. ...Oh yeah! Listen, this is just between us, OK sir?'

he said, miles nodded slowly as he agreed, ...what would gumshoe be so secret about

'yes...what?'

'This is top-secret stuff! Don't tell anyone about this.'

'...alright'

he said again

'the truth is... When I was a kid... I wanted to be a wizard!'

he said, miles stared up at him as he waited for anything more, ...nothing, ..then he finally asked him

'...That's it? That's what you wanted to tell me?'

'That's it'

he said with a grin, miles blinked at him as he jsut went back to the staff, ..it was made out of a very strong wood

'...What about fingerprints? Were there any on it?'

gumshoe nodded

'Just the victim's.'

miles carried the staff with him as he and gumshoe went around to investigate more, they both stopped at the ami statue

'So the sword from this gold statue is actually the murder weapon?'

'It sure is. It's called a "Shichishito" by the way. Nasty piece of work, sir.'

gumshoe said, admiring the artwork of it

'There's still blood on it... I suppose this is the victim's blood?'

he mumbled to himself as he examined the blood, gumshoe nodded as he added

'Yup. It's all over the blade. And speaking of "all over the blade"... There are fingerprints all over the hilt of the Shichishito, too'

miles raised his head up at him, ...what did he just say?!

'Fingerprints...?'

'Naturally they match the prints we got from the younger nun, the defendant'
