"Detective Gumshoe?" He was the big guy they met with the Blue Badger, right? "No, he's not really related to the investigation at all. Neither is Mr. Edgeworth, actually; after the first trial day, the investigation is being controlled entirely by Chief Gant and the police department. It's been... a really weird case." Considering how many cases Ema had seen in her short lifetime, both from being with her sister and by following her own interests, that was really saying something. The courts back home were far from dull, even on a day-to-day basis.
Accepting the pen and finally taking a seat, she continued, "But he's still involved, so he would know. He was... you had just put in a request under Mr. Wright's name that he bring the SL-9 case files by. That was when I learned that SL-9 referred to..." Ema trailed off and fiddled with her paper, still not quite able to say it aloud despite everything. Even here, far removed from Darke by location as well as by time, Ema didn't want to say his name for fear of bringing back too many unpleasant feelings and memories. Lana would know who she meant.
"Your trial and SL-9 are related. They have to be--everyone keeps talking about it, and why would you get that file for Mr. Wright if you didn't think so, too?" Not that Lana could answer that question, coming from the previous December. However, the answer seemed obvious to Ema and should have been the same for Lana, who had always been far better at drawing conclusions.
"We'll talk to Detective Gumshoe tonight and you'll see. You didn't kill anybody." Ema could only hope that her theory was accurate. She wasn't sure she could handle the alternative.
