Yeah, it's gotta be the bellboy. Phelps isn't actually his name and she didn't see her killer. Also his prints aren't on the window, which is kind of a giveaway. He would have had to open the door to get out to her.

I'm not sure if Alfendi's personality is that much different. If Layton regularly got involved in Phoenix Wright crossovers he'd probably find himself a bit more distant and sarcastic, just from all that clashing against people who killed someone and are desperately trying to hide it.

They're certainly making Alfendi a character. I don't know what Professor Layton's food situation would actually be, come to think of it. He didn't really live in an era of takeaways.

Everybody involved here is a little dodgy. The towel seems to have been used to shield whoever killed Potsby from the blood splatter, which could be the wife in the towel or the security guard in his clean white uniform. However, only one of those people could have known there was a burglar on the premises to pin it on. My initial guess is the security guard and a crime of passion.

Tax Refund posted:I think they're hinting at the murder weapon being a bundle of uncooked spaghetti, which was then boiled to remove any trace of blood from it. Which makes no sense -- uncooked spaghetti would be brittle and would shatter before you could stab someone with it, even if it was rolled up in a bundle -- but that would explain the pasta boiling in a pot, in an apartment where they ate nothing but take-out. Maybe it was frozen into a knife or something? Wait, ice is also kind of poo poo as a stab delivery vehicle too, right?

Okay, this Jekyll-and-Hyde moment has me interested all of a sudden. It makes me wonder, like, if Alfendi wanted to become a better policeman by really understanding criminals. I mean, REALLY understanding them.

I've got no clue what's actually going on here but this is a pretty neat collection of evidence to build from. Can't wait for all the conversations with the showbiz people.

Kegluneq posted:Probably quite likely - guns firing blanks are very similar to real ones. It might feel different to fire, though. Maybe he realised he'd been duped at that point? I could see how that would explain things easily enough. Dude's panicked and pinning it on the first patsy he can think of. ...man, what if this is really just a tragic accident? Covered up like it's a murder, of course, but wouldn't that be a twist?

Well, Layton does say Strapping's likely to have something up his sleeve. I imagine this is where he reveals his Queen's Gambit Declined or whatever.

I'd put the blame on Micah here, to start. He'd know more about that cabin than anyone, certainly enough to rig up all of this.

It would be neat if Chico held his masks right where the masked heart is. Or maybe spooky. Either way, he seems way too blase about that axe to have used it to kill someone.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:So, he outright admitted to killing him... and they just let him go? "Yes, I did it! I got really drunk, then I heard a demon telling me to kill him, so I walked through the walls and stuck an axe in his skull!" Even if Chico had the intent to commit the crime, and even if he confesses to acting on that intent, it still has to be proved he had the means to do so. It's like believing you can kill someone if you scribble over their face in a photo with green marker, and then turning yourself in for murder on that basis.

Safe journeys. As for the case, I suppose it only makes sense that the mastermind would skip town. After all, we didn't get enough evidence to turn Chico into a double agent.

If we're going with "who killed Pig" as a prompt I'd probably say Cat. Donkey and Dog both agree that they never even saw Pig, and Dog's only alone with Pig after Donkey has a smoke in the murder weapon. But who does Lucy THINK killed Pig at this point? That, I can't tell you.
