After the thrilling and quick first case ofAce Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, the game takes a quick jump into the recent past to an incident Miles had to deal with aboard an airplane. You’ve likely heard of locked room mysteries, yes? Well how about a locked plane in the sky mystery?
That’s exactly what Turnabout Airlines serves up, and it’s quite the doozy. Thankfully, you have a host of assistants to help you along the way, but with the suspects also racking up, you may need some extra help with this one. To that end, here’s a full, spoiler-free walkthrough.
Cross-Examination: What Ms. Teneiro Saw
This case begins with a cross-examination immediately! As always, we’ll provide the step-by-step process on toppling this accusation.
Cross-Examination: Ms. Teneiro’s Logic
Defeating this accusation will lead right into the first investigation of the case - when you gain control of Edgeworth,walk all the way to the leftand you’ll reach the lounge.
Investigation: First Floor Lounge
As always, the goal of the investigation is tofind all the evidenceyou can to progress the case.
With these two areas fully examined, we can start making somelogical deductions!
Where was the killer?
+
Blunt force trauma
In the elevator with Hicks?

With this done,take another look at the broken display caseand use yourDeduce button on the empty shelf. Present theCaptain Ugo Piggy Bank. Once you have the ‘turbulence’ though, head back to the logic screen:
Suitcase
You’ll then be presented with a closeup of the suitcases and asked to point out the reason one might roll -present the wheels on the left-hand suitcase. When examining this suitcase closer,open itusing the latch on the centre of the seam to find a cloth soaked in blood.
Upon completing the investigation, you’ll be prompted to theorise what the killer used to suitcase the transport. Present theCrime Scene Notes.
This will complete the first section of the case and lead you to a break, where you must chat with some characters to proceed:

Cross-Examination: Franziska’s Logic, Pt. 2
With this cross-examination finished quickly, wait until you get control of Edgeworth again andhead into the Flight Attendants' Roomnearby. Here,talk to Rhodaabout both dialogue options and thenpresent her with the Go You Suitcase. Speak more about the suitcase when granted the option.
When asked to present a spot on the suitcase in the room,present the price tag. Assert that the suitcase wasin the in-flight shopand that the person who bought it wasRhodaherself.
The scenes that follow will lead you to the final investigation of the case.

Investigation: Lower Deck Cargo Hold, Pt. 2
There are just a few more things to take care of before we can solve the case for good.
Examine the large boxthat Lablanc just fell on top of and then talk to Lablanc about it. With this, you can make alogical deduction:
Valuable piece of art
Talk toLablancabout the possibility that hiscargo is fake, and then examine the revealed statue.Deduce the yellow gemstone eyesand present thePhoto of Mr. Hicksas evidence of a contradiction. Then, pan the screen to the lower half of the statue anddeduce the cloththat the statue is sitting on, using theCargo from Zheng Faas evidence of another contradiction.
To explain how the killer cleaned up the blood, present theBorginian Cloth. Say that you want to hearMs. Meele’s testimony, an action that leads directly to the final cross-examinations of the case.
