Day 38 | private text

Edgeworth:

I have been informed of your justice system efforts and am contacting you on behalf of Detective Will Lane. He would be willing to assist your current efforts establishing one or in investigations if you should need it.

[prosecutory]

His assistance would be most appreciated, although I would prefer to personally hear from him as well.

Who is this?

[text - message sent to both Yuri and Edgeworth]

[holmes_fanatic]

Petrov-sensei, Edgeworth-sensei.

There's been a murder in the Freya District, a few hours ago. A grey citizen. The hospital lab staff are currently conducting a scene exam prior to removing the body. I've given them instructions about forensic procedure but if you've any advice, you're more than welcome to stop by the scene or come by the hospital later.

Edogawa Conan.

[cardtowers]

If necessary, he can contact you as well.

Nate River. [It is a very odd feeling providing his name as it is displayed over the network. Either way, that name is already compromised due to the nature of the networks here.] He prefers being contacted through others such as myself.

Is there anything you currently need help with?

[prosecutory]

All right. Do let him know that before I can decide to work with him or not, I will need to speak to him myself.

If you wish to assist us, I suggest also speaking to Judge Yuri Petrov, to let him know you will be joining us, Mr. River.

[text]

[prosecutory]

Thank you, Conan. I will be there shortly.

[cardtowers]

That can be arranged. Due to the nature of his profession, he would like to retain his anonymity during direct correspondence. After I have spoken with him, he can contact you at an arranged time. Is there a time of day that would be agreeable to you?

Judge Petrov has been contacted as well.

[prosecutory]

All right. Afternoon would be best.

EDGEYYYYY!

[Panicked Larry: just what every prosecutor wants.]

P-Please tell me you didn't get stabbed!

[prosecutory]

[WHOA MAN HIS EARDRUMS. He flinches before replying steadily.]

I did not, Larry. Calm down.

[failures]

[There's a huge sigh of relief on Larry's end.]

Thank the gods. [pause] Actually, don't thank them! They really need to stop letting this place get attacked!

[He takes a deep breath.] I'm really glad you're safe, Edgey.

[prosecutory]

...Indeed, but whether or not they will listen is an entirely different story.

I take it you are unharmed? [Well, Larry sounded fine, and HE was the one who called up in the first place.]

[failures]

Who knows? I get that they want all kinds of emotions here, but I think we've had enough pain and suffering to last for a while.

Yeah, 'm fine. Freaked out, but fine. Seriously, this is so not cool.

[prosecutory]

I don't think they are particular with the types of emotions they gather from us.

[A sigh of relief.] Good.

[failures]

Are you sure? 'cause it's been crazy ever since I got here!

Did you go outside yet? I've been too freaked to even leave my room.

[prosecutory]

I leave to work at the library, to borrow books and to gather information; the animals around are harmless if you ignore them.

[failures]

Yeah but the stabbers sure aren't! But you've got your power too...

[prosecutory]

No one has tried to stab me as of late, and I'm quite sure I can provide a diversion to escape should anyone make such an attempt.

[failures]

[There's a slight pause, then] I trust you. I think I'm gonna stay inside just to be safe though.

[private]

[holmes_fanatic]

Petrov-sensei, Edgeworth-sensei.

I don't have much progress to report, but I would like to talk to the two of you -- maybe Yuri-sensei will be generous enough to let us use his tea house to meet in? I'm available almost any evening.

Edogawa Conan.

[private]

[prosecutory]

Of course. Do you have any particular evening in mind?

[private]

[holmes_fanatic]

As soon as possible, ideally!

[private]

[prosecutory]

This evening, then?

[private]

[holmes_fanatic]

I'll let Yuri-sensei know! He's offered his tea-room as a meeting place.

[private]

[prosecutory]

All right. I should thank him as well.

[prosecutory]

I also try not to take deserted routes whenever I leave our House.

...

However, I am considering taking a few days off from work until this settles.

[failures]

[If only Edgeworth could see Larry's eyes lighting up at him mentioning taking some time off work.]

Oh really?

[His tone is heavily hinting that he wants to make plans already.]

[prosecutory]

[Your tone is ominous, Larry.]

I cannot be overconfident in my precautions and...abilities. This danger is becoming more and more real with each incident.

[failures]

Yeah, I get that. Maybe I should start practicing with my power too...

Hey, maybe we can practice together!

[prosecutory]

Yes, you should -

[Whoa, whoa, what's that last bit?]

You want to practice with me?

[failures]

Uh-huh! I mean, I can't think of a better training buddy.

I'm not sure how to actually practice with my power, but we can figure something out. You've always been good at that.

[prosecutory]

[...training buddy. Only Larry would call it that.]

Hopefully, yes. You could also speak to your housemates who have the same power as you do.

[failures]

Hey, that's a good idea! I'll have to make a post about it...or something.

[prosecutory]

You can also send a filtered message, or ask your other housemates to help spread the word throughout your House.

[Audio -- Day 75]

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah, Edgeworth-sensei? It's Conan again.

Ne -- I know it's not been so long since you posted about your legal system, but I'm feeling like a more solid statement of purpose might be a good idea. I'm sure you've seen the anonymous network post, but it's not just that -- I've got a documented case of a grey citizen acting with intent to harm another grey citizen.

Let me know what I can do to help!

[Audio -- Day 75]

[prosecutory]

I quite agree. For now, I'm simply gathering information and opinions, and yes, I have seen the anonymous network post.

Can you tell me more about this case?

[Audio -- Day 75]

[holmes_fanatic]

It's pretty straightforward -- a married couple, husband jealous of the time the wife spends in their florist shop. Neighbours report hearing frequent arguments, culminating in the argument that lead to the attack. The husband stabbed the wife with a kitchen knife. She's been healed and is staying with her parents for now.

[Audio -- Day 75]

[prosecutory]

Has anyone spoken to their neighbors and to her parents, and does anyone know the whereabouts of the husband?

[Audio -- Day 75]

[holmes_fanatic]

Of course I have! That's how I know they were arguing a lot recently -- you have to confirm reports, Edgeworth-sensei!

He's remained in their house.

[Audio -- Day 75]

[prosecutory]

Yes, of course. [Yes, obviously by now Conan would have done exactly that.]

Have you or anyone else tried speaking to him as well?

[Audio -- Day 75]

[holmes_fanatic]

I had a short interview with him to ascertain the facts from his side.

[Audio -- Day 75]

[prosecutory]

Did you learn anything new from him?

[Audio -- Day 75]

[holmes_fanatic]

Nothing that I haven't already told you -- no significant contact with Travellers and he claims to know that his wife is 'seeing' a customer -- which she denies and is irrelevent either way. Assault is still assault.

[Audio -- Day 75]

[prosecutory]

Correct. Thank you, Conan. I will also see what else I can discover.
