While he was aboard a plane? Wow, Landel--er, Aguilar sure had his ways. Not even Niikura could claim that he'd managed to snatch someone off a plane, presuming Edgeworth meant that it had happened while the plane was in the air. If it had been on the ground, that would have been another story.

"--but outside the police force?" he asked. Inside, there was no way; it didn't make sense to bring both Badd and Gant here, not when (in Niikura's mind) they were clearly on different "sides"--and from different times! Not even the things that were supposed to make sense were spared in this puzzle. "That's what I'd suspect, if I were lookin' from your position, although I can't think of anyone who'd have that kinda power anyway--'cept for whoever's runnin' this place, I guess."

Then Edgeworth took his turn at asking questions, and Niikura's eyes narrowed as he abandoned his usual vivacity. "Aye, I'll admit it, there's a lot of people out there who'd have somethin' against me." He shrugged and smiled, and the brief, serious moment passed. "Ehhh but it's not like any of them could really do somethin' like this to me either. So I guess at the end of the day, it's still a mystery."
