Turnabout Target

Episode 1: Turnabout Target is the first case in the upcoming Gyakuten Kenji 2. Miles Edgeworth, Dick Gumshoe and Kay Faraday must solve the murder of the president of Zheng Fa at Gourd Lake. It features the return of the professional assassin Shelly de Killer, once again under the name "John Doe", as a suspect.

Demo plot
The beginning show the president of Zheng Fa, Teikun Ō having a speech about the smuggling ring and how thankful they were for Edgeworth to take down the leader. A gun was then shown and it fires the bullet, which leads to the president's death. The crowd screams and runs while the two bodyguards suddenly become alert of the killer. Edgeworth then arrives at the scene.

Edgeworth and Detective Gumshoe then recount the facts about the case and Edgeworth gathers two pieces of Logic. A woman from beneath the stage then yells out and asks what is he going to do next. Edgeworth doesn't reply back but Gumshoe answers her question by explaining the process of Logic (making Edgeworth seem a little unpleasant after the explanation was over). Edgeworth then determines the murder was intended and the killer has to be among the spectators. Edgeworth then investigates a Zheng Fa flag and a popped Steel Samurai balloon and deduces that the stray bullet came from a certain direction. The investigators then discover a raincoat, which is bloody in the inside so Edgeworth thinks it belonged to the killer.

The woman, now revealed to be Mikiko Hayami, then bugs Edgeworth more about the investigation. At first, Edgeworth ignores her. But when Mikiko tells him she has more information about the raincoat, it captures Edgeworth's interest. However, Mikiko is a reporter so she isn't expected to give away her information for free. She then asks for payment. Edgeworth refuses but instead faces Mikiko in a game of Logic Chess. After beating her in Logic Chess, Mikiko gives away her information, telling Edgeworth she saw the person wearing the raincoat shooting a gun and tells Edgeworth the description of the man.

The police then finds the suspect, "John Doe", an ice cream vendor and Edgeworth decides to confront him (right after Gumshoe explains the process of cross-examining a testimony). Doe was then shown to be wounded, which interests Edgeworth a little. Edgeworth finds a flaw in Doe's testimony and points out the flaw. Edgeworth explains his reasoning but then somebody yells out to stop.

One of the president's bodyguards and the second-in-command Manosuke Naitō then appears and he insists that the Zheng Fa police should take over the investigation; it is then apparent that he is trying to stop Edgeworth's investigation.

Development
A demo of the game showing part of the case was showcased on Tokyo Game Show 2010 and then released on the official website. This case was created to feel very large and important, like a final case.
