File No. 001: The Hand Sandwich

Overview: A young woman, Sandy Aldwich, is murdered on her hotel terrace and found with her hand inside a fish sandwich.  Lucy and Alfendi must investigate the crime scene and uncover the culprit from among three suspects.

• Open File No. 000: “Freshly Baker.”

• Read all the evidence provided by Layton regarding the murder and its three suspects.
• When Layton finishes speaking, select “Check Files” to review the available info.
• Layton points out the most intriguing aspect of the case is why Aldwich’s hand ended up in her sandwich.
• Layton introduces Lucy to the crime scene reconstruction.  You’ll have five minutes to review the scene for evidence.  Feel free to do so, but we’ll skip straight to “Name the culprit” since nothing you uncover is important right now.
• There is more evidence Lucy and Alfendi will discuss, so this is only a guess.  Select the victim’s lover for now.
• After a cutscene discussion with the lover and bellboy, Alfendi and Lucy will begin solving deductions that remain outstanding.
