6.0, Story Mode

 

One day a letter arrives for you from Luke about how he and Professor Layton found out about a secret that they couldn't let anyone know and the story begins.

 

Luke and Professor Layton have been asked to help solve a inheritance dispute but it was no normal dispute. Two months ago, a millionaire named Alan Linford died. His family opened up the letter he left behind and found that their family treasure "The Golden Fruit" was hidden somewhere in town. Whoever was to find this Golden Fruit was to inherit Alan's entire fortune. Immediately, the family members set out to search for it, trying to be the first one to find it but in the end, no one could. In fact, no one had ever heard of such a family treasure. What was Alan Linford up to? He was an incomprehensible character indeed and Professor Layton regrets he couldn't meet the man before his death. Luke replies Alan must be very much like the Professor. Then he wonders what this "Golden Fruit" could be. It could be anything and the mystery has caught the Professor's interest. But besides the family fortune, Layton feels that there are other secrets behind the "Golden Fruit". For now, they'll just have to go see what they can find.

 

Laughing, Luke comments how the Professor, although an archaeologist, was like a detective rushing to the scene of a crime just now. Layton chuckles back for he was not a detective. It just happened that Alan's wife saw him in the newspapers and decided to request his help. As an English gentleman, he could not refuse a beautiful lady's request.

 

They were now nearing their destination so Luke takes out the map they were given but to his astonishment, it's a maze. Alan's wife was trying to test if Professor Layton really was the man who could solve this mystery. Luke decides to try solving it instead since he was the Professor's student.

 

Puzzle 1 - Where is the Town?

Bridge

 

l  Tap the man on the other side.

 

Professor Layton calls over to the man and tells him they want to enter the town but the man, Dice refuses to lower the bridge to strangers. Layton explains Madame Salome was expecting them but Dice still can't lower the bridge because it had a special mechanic. The handle needs to be inserted and if Professor Layton is really who he says he is then he should be able to solve the puzzle.

She asks the Professor the same question and he answers that he saw the cat run out the door. Still panicking, she demands why the Professor didn't stop Claudia and holds him personally responsible for what just happened. Salome was worried because the cat can't be separated from her for even one second and it's so delicate that it can't stand the outdoor air. The Professor tries to move on about the inheritance but right now, Claudia's cat takes priority. Luke doesn't like the way Claudia is treating his teacher but the Professor just chuckles it off.

Quickly they make their way upstairs to find Inspector Chelmie appears to be at the mansion to inquire about a certain incident. At first, the Professor thought it was about Claudia but it was not. Madame Salome was very happy to see her Claudia baby however. The Professor asks what was going on and it's revealed that a murder has taken place. Roy Linford has been murdered.

 

Two hours ago, Inspector Chelmie received a call that someone was laid sprawled out in the hallway and so immediately, he came out to find out more about the matter. There in the mansion, Roy Linford was found dead on the floor. Now Professor Layton himself could be a suspect so the Inspector does not want to reveal anymore details to him even though he tries to ask who called the Inspector. While the reason of death is going under investigation, the Inspector begins his questioning privately in a room. Everyone else was to wait in the reception hall.

 

Reception Hall

 

l  Speak to Mache the butler to find out he didn't find out about the murder until the Inspector arrived so he didn't manage to notice anyone suspicious. However, he did find an odd looking cog in the room where Roy died. Then he remembers a cog related puzzle…

Now speak to Bob who can't believe Roy got murdered even though he was the type to get hated. Thinking the Professor is a detective, Bob insists he catches whoever the murderer is. The Professor says he's not a detective but they will have to catch the murderer or there will be much danger. Bob suspects the murderer maybe after the inheritance but that means it could be anyone, even himself. To dampen the suspicion the Professor may have against him, he claims that Roy and him were very close and got along well. Speaking of family, he remembers a certain puzzle…

 

Puzzle 27 - The Chair Beside You

Also, Taro 3 and Taro 5 have been having a fight so they can't sit next to each other either. Arrange the seating for the brothers so that they can have their meal without any conflict then tap the red button.

 

l  Bob hands over another Mystery Part and asks the Professor to investigate carefully. The Professor agrees saying that he too could be a suspect now. Speak to the Inspector who checks with Mache that everyone who lives in the mansion has been gathered together. Mache says only Lamon was missing but he was no where to be seen. Salome orders Mache to go find him but he didn't know where Lamon was. Could he have run away because he was the murderer?

 

l  Try to leave the room and Professor Leyton will want to speak with Madame Salome. Speak to Mache to find out she's resting in her room because this horrifying incident was too much stress for her. Luke remarks how Salome isn't as strong a woman as she seemed when she was acting so scary earlier on and the Professor tells young Luke that they must be considerate towards the ladies. Luke apologises for his manners. The Professor then requests to see Madame Salome and Mache goes into let her know. Enter the next room.

Now you have the opportunity to save.

You want to release only the ones telling the truth. How many people will you release?

 

l  You receive another mystery part. Speak to Madame Salome now to learn that the baby in the photo wasn't really her daughter but she doesn't say who it was. The Professor decides to go ask the butler more about the baby. So leave the room and speak with Mache. It turns out the woman in the photo was in fact not even Madame Salome but Linford's wife. Mache isn't surprised our heroes mistook the two people to be the same person because they do look and act very alike. The Professor wonders if they could be blood related but Mache knows no further. Madame Salome was just brought into the home one day all of a sudden.

 

Linford Mansion

 

l  Leave the mansion to find Claudia holding Roy's glasses in her mouth. The Professor takes it back to the Chelmie since it could be a clue to Roy's murder.

Luke is unhappy at the way Chelmie treats the Professor but the Professor himself doesn't mind. He decides to go ask around in town.
