"Yes."
Edgeworth stepped back in shock of what he heard.
"But-"
"Hey, Miles," Wright is still calm. "I'm certain that I'm not that person you saw on the surveillance tape."
"How are you certain, Phoenix?"
"Play the tape."
Edgeworth hurried to the TV screen and played the surveillance tape again. There they saw again the person in gray. But afterwards, they saw another person: he wore a green polo shirt, a plain blue denim pants, and ordinary sneakers. "Yeah, that's me," Wright claimed.
"Why change your outfit?"
"'It's time for a change,' I thought."
"Anyway, why did you go there? Did someone order you to?"
"Yes. I received a letter yesterday."
"From whom?"
"Greco Drecina."
"So I thought. May I see that letter?"
Wright gave the letter to him. He read it; the contents are as it follows: "Mr. Wright, you must go to Room 3820 at Seline Towers, at exactly 2:00AM tomorrow. Somebody waits you there-"
"Who exactly waited for you that morning?" Edgeworth inquired.
"I don't really know."
"Why is that?"
"Did you notice on the tape that the door was open?"
"Yes, I observed that."
"I really wondered why. Then I entered the room. I smelled blood. It really sent chills down my spine. Then I saw a man standing at the front of the bed. He seemed to be crying. I didn't saw his face, thus I heard him. He rushed at me, punched me at the face, and clobbered his knee on my stomach. Then I fell unconscious."
Edgeworth remained silent. Freeman seemed to be trembling, but no one noticed.
"Play the tape again from the moment the camera saw my presence."
They played the tape again. Wright entered the room as what he stated. Then, the impersonator went out the room a few moments after Wright's entry. An hour later, Wright went out the room.
"So you regained consciousness after an hour?"
"Yes. "
"Why didn't you call the police?"
"My only goal that moment is to get home safely and sleep."
"Being selfish, eh?"
"Why not? I only plan to call the police when I get home."
Freeman suddenly yelled from nowhere.
"I'm the one who impersonated you, Phoenix Wright!" said by him. Tears build up in his eyes. "I killed Molly, so arrest me, now!"
Edgeworth was so shocked; he was literally shaking because of anger. Wright tapped him on the shoulder, and he moved his head, implying a negative motion. "No," uttered him, "Not yet."
"But why? I admitted it; it's what you want, right?"
"No. Not really. Simply admitting it is just like breathing dead air. It is meaningless, unless it bears truth in it."
"What do you want to ask me? I promise you, I'll tell the truth."
"Very well. I want your testimony about the day of the murder, and also the one who gave orders to you."
"No one gave orders to me. I did it on my will! I exacted revenge on my ex-girlfriend because she almost wrecked my life to pieces! I loved her… But she deceived me! I thought that I'm the only one in her heart… She did it with another man! So we broke up after I got the information."
Edgeworth calmed down. He spoke with his mind.
"Is he sure that he did it on his own will? Then the frame-up plot that I thought is really false! Anyway, I must inquire further."
He leaned his back against the wall. He continued the conversation.
"When was the date of your break-up with my cousin?"
"April 10. It happened on the phone."
"Did you know who this second boyfriend of my cousin was?"
"No, but I'm sure that Molly's wallet has a picture of them together-might as well you check it out."
Edgeworth grabbed Molly's wallet and searched it thoroughly. Then he really saw a picture of her second boyfriend. His reaction left an impression to them all. His eyes began to open widely and he suddenly breathed deeply. "No way…"
Who is this man in the picture? Is this someone Edgeworth knows?
