Prince Han's murder was a high profiled case. The journalists wanted to get their snoops and the game universe, Frozen had been the centre of unwanted attention. Although the mascot from Fix-It Felix had been arrested, there was something that had troubled Miles Edgeworth about the case the moment he decided to lead the prosecution. He didn't care about Felix's verdict. All he wanted was the truth.
To the Game Central Police Department, it was a perfect case. Hans stole Felix's hammer and Felix killed him trying to get it back. Felix had the motive, but Edgeworth believed there was so much more to the case than that. The police believe that the murder weapon was Felix's hammer. It made sense until that point. Edgeworth took another look at the autopsy report while he was waiting for Queen Elsa.
Hans died from a severe trauma all around his body. Would a little hammer really be capable of such damage? If it was, it would take a very long for it do that significant amount of damage. At least fifty hacks. Edgeworth tried to put himself into Felix's shoes. If he was Felix, he would have gone straight to the police and if he found his hammer, he would have taken it and run.
Why didn't Felix take his hammer back? What happened between the events of Felix getting his hammer stolen to the time when Hans was killed. There were no eye-witnesses, however there was witness who claimed he saw Queen Elsa create six giant monsters to squash him. The monsters would explain the broken bones and mangled corpse, however Queen Elsa was in her castle on the night of the crime. People have already confirmed this, so Edgeworth did not believe the man's account of the crime.
Queen Elsa came down from the stairs. She was an attractive lady wearing a shiny blue dress and hair whiter than snow. She smiled as she sat on her throne. Edgeworth bowed, as would any gentlemen would do if they saw a noble person in their presence.
"Good morning," Edgeworth said. "I am Miles Edgeworth. Chief Prosecutor for Game Central. I'm here to investigate the death of Prince Hans. I must ask you some questions."
"Personally I think Hans deserved what he got."
Elsa's blunt words caught Edgeworth off guard. He shook his head and decided to get on with his questions. He had to find out as much about the victim as possible. He already knew quite a lot about the defendant, but little about the victim. "I understand that Hans was the bad guy in your game."
"He's the bad guy in my entire fandom."
"What do mean by fandom?"
"We're based on a Disney film. Hans was the bad guy in the film, and the books and in the games. He was offered a part in Kingdom Hearts that he was going to do."
"What was he like outside of gaming hours?" Edgeworth asked. Wreck-It Ralph was the bad guy in his game, but outside of work, he was actually a decent chap.
"A pain in the ass," Elsa mumbled. Queen Elsa was not the woman that Edgeworth expected her to be. He was expecting a soft-spoken and reserved image. Many described Elsa as a good girl, so their statements greatly contradicted with that he saw. "He tried to marry my sister, kill me off so he could be king."
"That's very disturbing." Edgeworth could understand Elsa's hatred towards Hans. "Why did he choose your sister, but not you? Since you were the queen, it would be more logical."
"Men are illogical creatures."
Edgeworth ignored the comment. He moved on to his next question. He was determined to get as much from Elsa as possible. Even though she was Queen, he needed her full co-operation for the investigation to run smoothly. The first day of the trial was tomorrow, and he needed as much information as possinle to get closer to the truth. "So when was the last time you saw Hans?"
"I haven't seen him in four months." Elsa had her arms folded. "I only met him a couple of times: never again. I banished him for what he did to us."
"I'm assuming this was four months ago."
Elsa nodded. "Indeed. Just talking about him makes my skin crawl."
The man who claimed that he saw Elsa kill Hans was a Mr. Weselton. Edgeworth thought that if he linked Weselton's claims with Elsa's statement, that it could lead to a path for the investigation. "Elsa do you know The Duke of Weselton?"
"Yes, a rather annoying person. He was a trading partner before I was Queen. But I sacked him for his greed. He's been kicked out of this game. If ever tries to get in, his code will be destroyed."
Weselton would have lost a lot of money from Arendelle pulling out of the business. He must have seen Hans death as a perfect oppurtunity to seek revenge on Elsa by trying to pin her on the crime. "Are you aware of the accusations he has brought against you?"
"I do. But I don't care."
"Well I think it's perfectly clear that Weselton was lying. If he was really in Arendelle at the night of the crime, then we not be here to tell the tale. Which means that Felix is still our prime suspect. Thank you, Your Majesty. That is all. I will come back if I need any more question."
"Personally I think Felix should get a medal."
