"Alright. You know... Mr. Christian Alden, the patient, was suffering from emphysema, and was brought to the operating room to undergo an operating procedure called LVRS. This procedure lengthens the life of the patient a little. As for the motive, Dr. Drecina knew the patient for a long time. But Dr. Drecina had a grudge on Mr. Alden, so he could have a motive in the first place," testified by Dr. Ginnow.

"A grudge... Can you tell us what sort of grudge he had on Mr. Alden?" asked by Ayers.

"Yes... Certainly. Mr. Alden is a security guard of Abralim Hotel, so he's in charge of the security in the area. One night, he spotted a pickpocket running through the streets. Naturally, he would've fired his pistol on him. And yeah, he fired his pistol. Unknowingly, he actually shot Dr. Drecina's younger brother, Alfonso Drecina, square in the forehead," explained by Dr. Ginnow.

"Oh... How awful," said Ayers pitifully.

"There's no time for expressing pity, Ms. Ayers," countered Edgeworth.

"Alright, alright, there's no need to counter me. Sheesh." sighed Ayers.

"Please proceed with your testimony, Dr-" Edgeworth stopped.

"There's no need to continue, because I will present some evidence to counter his testimony," pushed Ayers.

"Oh? Then, please present it on the court," requested by Edgeworth.

Ayers searched through her organizer, and then she pulled a thick folder.

"Your Honor, will you please take a look on this?" asked Ayers to the Judge.

"The case from 2 years ago?" questioned by the Judge.

"Yes, your Honor. Our witness claims that Mr. Alden shot Mr. Drecina square in the forehead. And he still claims that Mr. Drecina was the pickpocket. But according to this file, nothing was proven yet, and the case is on hold. No one witnessed the crime, and there is also no decisive evidence," explained by Ayers.

"What do you mean by that, Ms. Ayers?" asked Edgeworth, confused of what Ayers have done and said. "Why bring up the case from two years ago?"

"Because I think that this is related to this case," answered Ayers.

"Will you be so kind to explain what's happening on to your mind?" requested wittingly by Edgeworth.

"The case... The case that we are talking about was the murder The defendant was Mr. Alden. My father was the defense attorney back then. The witness... never showed up on court. And the victim... wasn't actually Mr. Alfonso Drecina," Ayers stated.

"W-w-w-whaaat?" Edgeworth shrieked in shock.

"W-what are you t-talking about?" Dr. Ginnow was also shocked, thus dropping his scalpel.

"You are lying, am I right?" asked Ayers.

"No, I am not, I swear!" shouted Dr. Ginnow.

"So how do you explain the testimony earlier?" battered Ayers.

"I... I... I am the witness... that didn't show on court two years ago," shyly admitted by Dr. Ginnow.

"So it's you... I request that you testify to the court about what you have witnessed two years ago," requested Ayers.

"Why do we need to hear his testimony about what happened two years ago? Is this related somehow to the case at hand?" asked Edgeworth with his voice trembling.

"Your voice is trembling... I think I know what you are thinking now, Mr. Edgeworth," boasted by Ayers.

"Are you sure?" Edgeworth asked.

"Yes. Because I am accusing Dr. Garry Ginnow of the murder of Mr. Christian Alden!"

The Judge was surprised. He stared coldly at Ms. Ayers. That also goes to Edgeworth. He can't believe that even before presenting some of his evidence to prove that Mr. Fredo Drecina did the murder, things would turn to this. The audience is wild. And they suddenly stopped when they heard the Judge's gavel clap.

"Order! I request order in the court!" shouted by the Judge. "We will have a 30 minute recess. After that, we will hear the witness' testimony about what he witnessed two years ago. And Mr. Edgeworth?"

"Yes, your Honor?" answered by Edgeworth.

"I want you to come to my office later," asked by the Judge.

"Certainly, your Honor," Edgeworth affirmed.

Everyone left the courtroom, except for the witness, which is staring blankly at the Judge's bench. Before Edgeworth left, he stared first at the witness, which is still standing at the witness' stand on that time. He felt pity. Not only for the witness, but also to himself, because he's still stunned on what the defense have claimed. He can't do a thing. He knows that his evidence has no power to counter the defense's claims. The witness was later held by the bailiff to the witness' lobby. Dr. Ginnow sat on one of the benches in the lobby, and stares blankly again on the wall, but this time, tears are developing on the edge his eye. It feels like that he wants to shout: "I didn't do it, I swear, so why did you accuse me?"

Edgeworth went to the Judge's office afterwards, discussing the possible outcome of this case.

Judge's Office

"Mr. Edgeworth... How will you prove that Dr. Drecina is guilty of Mr. Alden's murder... When someone other than Dr. Drecina is accused of his murder?" shouted by the Judge.

"C-c-calm down, your Honor!" comforted by Edgeworth. "But I still don't know how to prove that Dr. Drecina did it... But I really know that he did it!"

"Yes, I know that Edgeworth," the Judge agreed. "but... You still need evidence on how to prove it."

"Yes, your Honor. Maybe I'll let this case slip away for the meantime... I'll give up on this case and when the right time comes, I'll prove that Dr. Drecina did it."
