TEXT ✍ 002, DATED NOV 1ST
[Police Filter: Only Edgeworth, Asch, Elliot, Gale, and Raidou may view this broadcast. Tohru Adachi has been intentionally left out of the discourse. The following message is written in script - he had discovered a strange penlike device (resembling a traditional quill pen from his own time) with his Dreamberry communicator, which can be used to physically write his notes on the screen. It should be recognizable as the Inspector's handwriting.]
CONCERNING THE RECENT CRIMINAL MATTERS
The events of last night do not require preface. Most of you were present. I remember this well.
There are two offenses under investigation at this moment. The first is the murder committed against a girl, name: Precious, found shortly after arrival the day of October 31st. The second is the moral violation committed against Mlle. Naomi Hunter.
It is clear that the black tart murderess of the first offense enjoys an audience. She carries herself with confidence; she thinks herself infallible. It is prudent to first investigate the matter of her identity and her possible hideaways immediately. Other spirits are a sensible start.
The cleanly scamp of the second is a slippery devil. Mlle. Hunter will not speak. I have sent my report with the morning mail. You have each received one copy. Review it well. Consider looking for deceptive men, or men of questionable morals. You will keep all details silent. These matters concern only the service. Let us not let word spread to our lug. That will give him time to hide.
Lastly, there is an additional member of the service. Tohru Adachi will serve in a lower administrative capacity. Watch him closely.
Javert, Inspector of the First Class

ACTION
Danny Fenton is young. Regrettably, the lack of work ethic and clumsy nature are to be expected of a boy his age and century. As for the other man... you've made him a member of the service. Given his lack of assigned duties aside from paperwork, I presume you mean to keep a close eye on him.
The others were not scrutinized to such an extent, and to be frank, I can't imagine you as a man who would give someone a chance to prove themselves if deemed unworthy upon initial estimation.
Do you suspect him?
ACTION
It felt entirely different from Valjean's atrocious turn at mayorship. Valjean, that damnable man that won't leave his thoughts be. His arrival had more of an effect on Javert than he cared to admit.]
Adachi is... well-suited to pen pushing, M. Edgeworth. [Tried as he might to mask traces of his solidly southern French accent, the name always came out sounding more like ezh-WUURT than 'Edgeworth.'] He has spoken of good talent in tea-fetching in his previous life.
[A pause. He owed it to his superior to return bluntness with bluntness. He lifted his eyes to meet Edgeworth's.]
I do.
ACTION
[With most of his subordinates, detailed explanations were required every step of the way. The same could not be said of Javert. It was a strange working relationship they had formed; little was said, much was implied and unspoken agreements were formed. The nod he responded to Javert's answer with said everything the other man needed to know: a silent 'Very well. You may proceed.']
Are there any other suspects?
