A child's drawing was a piece of evidence in Miles Edgeworth's investigation into the murder of "Di-Jun Wang". It is a crude drawing by a young Simeon Saint of the assassination of Di-Jun Wang by Bodhidharma Kanis while Saint was in the care of the Happy Family Home orphanage. The drawing was a vital piece in eventually solving the murder, which was referred to by the police as the SS-5 Incident.
Creation[]
A young Simeon Saint was having trouble sleeping and so decided to go for a wander. However, during his walk he came across a confrontation between Zheng Fa president Di-Jun Wang and the assassin Bodhidharma Kanis in the orphanage's grounds; this scene would be that immortalized in his drawing. After Wang's death, the president's body double took over his identity, having been one of the three conspirators alongside Excelsius Winner and Fifi Laguarde who had hired Kanis in the first place. However, Saint overheard that they were planning to kill Kanis, and so warned the assassin as well as distracting the conspirators with a fire so that he could escape.
The drawing's fate[]
Laguarde, the only suspect for Wang's "kidnapping", was found not guilty due to Winner disposing of the evidence incriminating her. Laguarde eventually found out about Saint' drawing however. Fearful that this drawing could expose her, Laguarde tried to intimidate and threaten him into handing it over, but only succeeded in making him run away from the orphanage full of resentment and hatred towards her, Winner, and the body double. However Saint did neglect to bring the drawing with him.
Da-Long Lang eventually found the drawing at an unknown point during his investigation into Wang's "kidnapping". This was taken in as evidence by Lang, along with the doll that Wang had been carrying at the time of his murder, and kept safe for 12 years. The drawing revealed to Lang what had really happened, thereby convincing him that the real president was dead.
Reopening of the SS-5 Incident[]
Twelve years after the SS-5 Incident, the body double was murdered. This indirectly caused the reopening of the SS-5 incident by Miles Edgeworth. During his investigation into the incident, Shi-Long Lang had the child's picture brought over to assist in the investigation. Later, Edgeworth used it to reveal the truth behind the SS-5 Incident: It was a presidential assassination, not a kidnapping. However, because Alf Aldown had witnessed the moment Laguarde and Winner dragged the body away, he had assumed it was a kidnapping, and after killing him, the co-conspirators of the incident staged a fake kidnapping, while Winner used his position to wipe away all traces of the second murder.
