The Turnabout of Hope Book 1: Establishing the Truth in Our Lives

Chapter 39: The Turnabout of New Truth!

"That explains why she was in a daze when she sat with Larry" Miles said seriously, "She was probably rendered unconscious and then woke up across from a typical idiot"

"HEY!" Larry shouted at Miles angrily.

"Does the employee of the defense have any more evidence to prove this?" Junpier asked curiously.

"Yep! We got security videos of some of the fight thanks to Chihiro!" Athena said in delight as she tapped the screen to reveal the video to us.

It was a bit blurry and out of focus, but we could definitely tell that it was Professor Courte and the Assassin.

"The defense would also like to present the broken monocle we found at the scene of the crime" Athena said as she handed it to me.

What does this mean? Did this fall her attacker?

(Layton's POV)

I glanced at the broken monocle. Now, by using the simple tool of process of elimination, I came to reason that this person must either have a spare one or is currently blind. After all, being blind in one eye is going to cause some trouble for the person. There is also the puddle of ice cream we need to consider as well.

"If this helps, the ice cream matches the ice cream Prosecutor Nahyuta had" Maya said as she held Nahyuta's ice cream, "Do you think this will matter?"

I examined both ice cream flavors as I recalled Miss Hall's statement about not using ice cream for the desserts. If that is the case, then our culprit has something to do with ice cream.

"Where did you get this ice cream?" I asked her suspiciously.

"Oh, in the kitchen to the ballroom. I wanted something sweet and the ice cream vendor!" Maya exclaimed excitedly.

"Miss Hall, you stated that ice cream was not on your desserts, right?" I asked her as I turned to her and Defense Shields.

"That is correct. I never put ice cream on the list. I don't know who brought ice cream" she confessed.

"Agent Lang, please bring in the ice cream vendor for questioning while my wife and I examine the ice creams to see if they do truly match!" I shouted seriously as took Prosecutor Nahyuta's ice cream and marched towards the ice cream puddle with a footprint.

"Are you sure about this, Hershel?" Claire asked surprised, "This seems extreme, even for you"

"I know, but if it is true that these ice cream flavors are the same and link back to the vendor, then that means the vendor is the true culprit behind this case" I answered seriously as I went to work with Miss Skye.

Using her testing equipment, the ice cream Prosecutor Nahyuta had and the one on the floor did indeed match!

(Miles's POV)

"Professors did it match?" I asked gently as Agent Lang finally returned with the suspect.

"Yes. These ice creams do match each other. It is reasonable to suspect that the ice cream vendor is behind this" Professor Layton answered me.

Everything is falling perfectly into place.

"He's here! Though, he doesn't look like a killer if you ask me" Agent Lang said as he presented the ice cream vendor to us.

Well, he is not wrong. He looks like a simple ice cream vendor with black and white hair as well as a new monocle. I examined his outfit for a moment and noticed a similar shell on his coat pocket. I knew it was him, the Assassin from the First Dark Age of Law.
