File No. 009: Good Cop, Bad Cop. Walkthrough: Layton Brothers: Mystery Room

File No. 009: Good Cop, Bad Cop

Overview: The strange events at Forbodium Castle continue, inspired by what happened here four years ago.  Lucy finally locates Alfendi, but there are now two murders that must be solved.
  • You begin this case where File No. 008 left off: Lucy is wandering Forbodium Castle, looking for Alfendi.
  • Tap on the door area to enter a corridor.
Layton Brothers: Mystery Room
  • Use the camera icon to zoom all the way in and tap on Passageway Door.
  • Lucy will make her way through the tower to Alfendi after hearing a gunshot.

  • After a discussion about the prior events at Forbodium Castle, Lucy is tasked with figuring out what really happened four years ago and tonight—who killed both Keelan and Diane.
Layton Brothers: Mystery Room
  • Three deductions open up: “Keelan’s corpse,” “Who shot Diane?” and “Al’s witness.”

  • Two new deductions open up.  Select “Hilda’s untruth.”
  • To question “Why is there an inconsistency in Hilda’s statement?” select “Makepeace wasn’t shot.”
Layton Brothers: Mystery Room
  • To question “What did the bullet associated with the first gunshot hit?” select “Half-dead Al.”
  • To question “If Al was shot with the first bullet, which statement can’t be true?” select “Justin Lawson Statement 2.”
  • To question “What proof is there that Justin and Makepeace were partners in crime?” select “Case report” (the one with missing files).
  • Alfendi accuses Justin of working with and murdering Makepeace.  This deduction is resolved. 
  • Select “West Tower rooftop.”
  • You need to find a secret way to the West Tower roof.
  • This mystery is not solvable yet—tap on any item and select “This is the evidence!”
  • Alfendi reverts to normal and admits he is the killer, after all.  Hilda explains the situation further...and Lucy becomes even more determined to solve the mystery.
  • A new deduction opens up: “The final mystery.”  Select this.
  • You can now explore the castle again and investigate objects even if they don’t have a marker.
  • On the fifth floor of the central tower, tap on the ivy on the outside wall.
Layton Brothers: Mystery Room
  • In the close-up, tap on the area of ivy that is broken to add Broken Ivy into evidence.
