Statement § 2 [Filter > Police Force]

[prosecutes]

[Edgeworth holds in his hand Adachi's latest report of recently departed and newly arrived citizens. The report was, as usual, handed to him in the morning. It contains no mention of Dahlia Hawthorne. If it is to be trusted (and for the time being, Edgeworth will indeed believe that Tohru has been doing his job properly), then her arrival was sometime earlier in the day.]

Attention, all members of the police force: Be on the lookout for a recent arrival named Dahlia Hawthorne.

/Dahlia.jpg

This woman is a known criminal with a history of manipulation, attempted homicide and murder in the first degree. She is capable of posing as her twin sister Iris. Use your best judgment and do not confuse the two under any circumstance.

This message is only a warning, not an arrest warrant. In accordance with Somarium's laws, Dahlia remains innocent until proven guilty of a crime in this world. If confronted, she is likely to put on a helpless and innocent act. Convincing as it may be, she is not to be trusted.

[Hm. A single eyebrow arches upward.]

His won't be the only eyes on her. You don't mean to say she is la criminelle parfaite - no, none of them are perfect! They always commit again.

Time is the uncertainty here.

No, of course not.

Observe her closely, but keep your distance. She will act differently if she notices that she is being watched.

[The expression he casts at Edgeworth could be described as one Shakespeare would have cast an amateur auteur that had just suggested to him a rhyme.

... And yet his tone remains respectful.]

Consider it done, M. Edgeworth.

[A bow of his head into the video feed.]
