Keyes kept in touch with both Dogen and Knightley by playing correspondence chess matches with them. At some point, he began secretly having them play each other, with each believing that he was playing against Keyes. For this purpose, Keyes would receive each letter and transcribe it into either English or braille before sending it to the unwitting opponent. Keyes used this to complete his plan to have Roland kill Knightley.
By the time of Knightley's arrest, Dogen had been arrested and sent to Roland's prison. The assassin's knowledge of John Marsh, which would blow the body double's cover, allowed him to start blackmailing Roland. The warden also became paranoid due to his claim that he had outside agents who would try to kill her. After his arrest, Knightley was transferred to the detention center next to this prison to await his trial.
At some point, Keyes remembered the day that he had been tied up and locked in the car, but his memory was still muddled. He thought that Dover was his father and Gustavia was Knightley's father. He believed that Gustavia was the one who had betrayed Dover, as well as being the one who had killed "his" father. He fostered a secret desire to take revenge on Knightley, even while the two kept in touch, thinking that if Knightley hadn't stopped him and tied him up, "his" father wouldn't have been killed. He also plotted revenge against the three co-conspirators from the SS-5 Incident, though with the sheer amount of authority that all of them had, Keyes had to wait for a perfect opportunity to exact his vengeance.
Keyes executed the next phase of his plan; he visited Knightley and gave him a chessboard containing a chisel. Roland soon interrogated Knightley, believing that he was one of Dogen's cronies due to the correspondence chess letters, and opened the chessboard to find the chisel. Since Dogen had obtained chisels through his blackmailing of the prison warden, this caused Roland's paranoia to reach a breaking point. She stabbed Knightley with Dogen's knife, killing him instantly.
Keyes responded by landing the balloon on top of the man, crushing him to death. The body double's final moments. Keyes was now left with a very serious problem, as the body double's murder would distract attention from the other murder case he had set up.
Unable to have the police help him because they were under Debeste's control, Keyes lost all trust in other people, and felt he had no other option but to take matters into his own hands. He eventually joined the Berry Big Circus as a clown and trainee animal trainer under Regina Berry .
The security plans were changed so that only Rooke and Knightley were in the immediate vicinity of the stage, as well as to account for Knightley's neck injury so that he could still pull off "his" plan. When the speech and fake assassination attempt occurred, de Killer appeared again to try to kill the "president".
In the rebuttal phases, a witness or a rival character provides their idea of what has happened. The player is able to press them for details, and can present relevant pieces of evidence that contradict what the witness or rival is saying. By doing this, the player gets closer to the truth; it is through confronting suspects during these phases that the player solves the cases. Upon solving a case, the episode is cleared and a new episode is made available to the player. If the player makes mistakes throughout the game, such as presenting wrong pieces of evidence, attempting to connect two thoughts that do not match up, or making incorrect choices, a green gauge called the Truth Gauge decreases, representing Edgeworth getting further from the truth. If it is completely emptied, the game ends. By clearing an investigation phase, half of the gauge is restored, and by clearing an episode, the gauge is restored completely.
During investigation phases, players control Edgeworth directly, either with the D-pad, or by sliding the map that is displayed on the bottom screen. The player has Edgeworth walk around crime scenes in search for evidence; they also meet witnesses and suspects during these phases, who they can talk to. As Edgeworth notices various things in the crime scene, they are saved as Edgeworth's thoughts. Using the "logic" function, the player can connect two such thoughts to gain new information; for instance, by connecting two bullet holes with a gun that has only been fired once, Edgeworth will conclude that two guns must have been at the crime scene. At some points, the player is able to control a cursor to examine parts of the crime scene; by using the "deduction" function at these points, the player is able to point out a contradiction between the crime scene and evidence. If the player successfully points out a contradiction, they gain access to new information. At certain points, a device called Little Thief can be used to create hologram reproductions of the crime scene; by investigating these reproductions, the player can discover new information that would otherwise be hidden. As more evidence is uncovered, the hologram is updated. After having examined an area sufficiently, the investigation phase ends, and the game moves on to a rebuttal phase.

In the first case, Turnabout Visitor, Edgeworth finds the dead body of Detective Buddy Faith in his office. He learns that the murderer was Jacques Portsman , a prosecutor who was working for the smuggling ring, and was trying to steal evidence from the murder ten years ago from Edgeworth's office; when Faith got too close, Portsman killed him. The fifth case, Turnabout Ablaze, takes place at the former Cohdopian embassy; civil tension in Cohdopia forced the country to split into Allebahst and Babahl, which share the same embassy building. The two countries planned to announce their reunification at the embassy when the fake Yatagarasu appeared, setting fire to the building and killing two people. The bodies are found at the embassies' respective offices; one of them is discovered to be the former secretariat of the Cohdopian embassy, who now was the secretariat for Babahl. Shih-na is revealed to be Calisto in disguise; she insists that she did not murder the secretariat, and is revealed to be an accessory to the crime. As she is taken away, she reveals that she is not Cece's sister, that "Calisto" was just an alias she took while working for the smuggling ring, and that she became part of Yatagarasu on orders from the ring's leader. Edgeworth reveals the ring's leader to be Allebahst's and formerly Cohdopia's ambassador Quercus Alba, who had committed murders and covered the tracks of the ring, and brought counterfeit money into Zheng Fa. Alba, Amano and others are convicted of their crimes, while Edgeworth and his companions recommit to their vows to defend the truth.
On the other hand, Capcom USA's vice president described Western sales as "poor at best". The game won an Aggie Award for Best Character of 2010, for Miles Edgeworth, and was awarded for Best Adventure Title of 2010 on Nintendo DS by Nintendo World Report.
During the investigations, the player controls Edgeworth directly; they search the crime scene for evidence, and talk to witnesses to learn new information. As the player investigates, observed information is saved as Edgeworth's thoughts; by combining these, the player can obtain further information that would otherwise remain hidden. At some points, the player can use a device called "Little Thief" to generate hologram reproductions of the crime scene using known information about it; the player can walk around in the recreations and point out inconsistencies with the evidence, and update the recreation accordingly. Sometimes the player is able to switch back and forth between recreations of the crime scene at two different times.
According to Eshiro and Yamazaki, one of the major changes compared to the first Ace Attorney Investigations was the addition of an interrogation game mechanic; they chose to present it metaphorically as a game of chess, which was Edgeworth's favorite game.
A new gameplay mechanic, "logic chess", is used during investigations when a character refuses to testify. The player interrogates them, which is visualized as a game of chess, with the player aiming to destroy the other character's chess pieces. To do this, they need to build up their advantage in the discussion by alternating between speaking and listening; when the player believes they have the advantage, they can choose to go on the offensive. The logic chess sections are timed, with the player having to make decisions before the timer bar has decreased all the way. The player takes damage if they make wrong choices, and the logic chess opponents get more difficult throughout the game.
The gameplay is divided into two types of phases: investigations, where the player searches the crime scene for evidence and talks to witnesses, and rebuttals, where they aim to find contradictions in witnesses' testimonies using the evidence found during the investigations.
