Part 2 begins with Hosonaga and Jezaille on the stand. Jezaille can't understand Japanese (or at least is pretending not to). There is this fancy script that is used for Jezaille's English. I wonder if the text is actually English in the Japanese version. Kazuma and Ryunosuke seem to know enough English to spot check Hosonaga's translations so I probably don't need to worry about fake translations. Jezaille explicitly lies and points at Ryunosuke as the culprit so it looks like she will be the true culprit of the case. We think we have her on the handbag issue but it turns out the handbag was see through and no gun could be seen. I have no idea what's wrong with the picture. Like I do see the mark on the wrist but how does that mean anything? I go through the Court Record and it hits me. It matches the hot plate! It's a bit of a stretch but Ryunosuke tries to push the idea that this means Dr. Wilson was dead even before the steak came out. I don't quite follow since it seems like Dr. Wilson could have died after the steak was brought but before he burned his hand. Also, it's a bit hard to tell when Hosonaga is translating for Jezaille but I get the impression she knows what is going on even when he doesn't seem to be translating anything.

There it is. Jezaille speaks Japanese. So she knows everything that is going on. The timing of the burn is based on the fact that the hot plate had to still be really hot which means it was just brought out. Although, I'm still not quite sure how a corpse that isn't moving ends up touching the plate at any point. Like the steak should be in front of Jezaille not Dr. Wilson since it was her meal.

I get introduced to the new "pursue" game mechanic. Hosonaga seems to react to Jezaille trash talking the Japanese police. Hosonaga is pretty cool. He manages to save the case by aggressively saving evidence including the water bottle. I'm guessing the water was poisoned. Can we test for that in ancient Japan? Is Auchi going to try drinking it? Hosonaga tested the water for poison already. What a guy! No poison was found, though. We're in trouble again but Susato Mikotoba shows up to save the day! I actually forgot she was told to to get something for us.

That brings an end to Part 2. I didn't expect this case to be this long.
