the final of the mystery in the locked room trilogy
turnabout murder
after phoenix got home gumshoe was there who told him maya was arrested again because there was a disturbing reveal found and that is that the bucket of acid was impossible to climb which they knew cause gumshoe tested it so how did the mouse get in there it was clearly bcause it was picked up and dropped inside which meant the mouse didnt die in an accident it was murdered
so they went back to the locked room they searched the bucket but found nothing important
at the trial edgeworth was there and said maya brought a bucket of acid into the room to murder a mouse that had been making noise in her walls and annoying her which was her motive
but phoenix pointed out that the bucket didnt have her fingerprints but edgeworth said she used gloves but there was something else missing it was trilos puppetprints
trilo was brought back to court and he laughed at phoenix because he was the one who brought the bucket because the first victim asked for one since he had a cold and he was a friend named ben so he wanted to help him but phoenix said trilo doesnt have friends but he got penalty for insulting the witness
when trilo left phoenix tried to think of another way the mouse could have got in the bucket without anyone touching it so he called maya to the stand but edgey thoguth that meant he suspected his client but phoenix believes in his client to the bitter end
he got maya to channel ben it was disturbing sight but he kept looking like a strong man
phoenix reminded the court that the mouse was bens killer so when it killed him ben sat up fast which threw the mouse away and it landed in the bucket of acid across the room killing it which is why it got in there despite being impossible to climb and why the killers fingerprints and trilos puppetprints werent on it
ben broke down and was sentenced to a million years in hell since they cant send ghosts to prison
everyone celebrated the full 100% truth behind this murderous locked room finally being found and phoenix was forever remembered as "phoenix wright locked room solver"
