by Chappie in

 

After completing the Dastardly Detective: The Wandering Bug side case in Lost Judgment, open your phone to Buzz Researcher and search using the keyword “noise” again. This time go to the area with the post from scarab. Head into Sasaki Arcade and break out the Detector. Follow the signal to the blue and white penguin in the UFO Catcher box. You’ll then be able to begin the Dastardly Detective: Grasping Attention side case!

 

Start by playing the claw minigame to obtain the penguin. Good luck and try not to spend all your money! 😉 If you have had enough and cannot get it, back out. A lady will come up to you and offer to give it to you for 10,000 Y. Please note that backing out will also allow you to reset the penguin. Once you obtain it, a cutscene will trigger followed by a fight. Defeat Toru to close the case!
