Extracting the Truth

Extracting the Truth (, Sennin Iyama: Kigen no Tankyū , Lit. "Hermit Iyama: Quest for the Origin") is the 16th side case in Lost Judgment.
==Plot==
Yagami walks into Iyama's shop and witnesses Iyama and a man discuss being stumped by documents. The man introduces himself as Tatsuomi Yoshikawa of the Enoshima College of Cultural Studies, and the owner of the ancient codex Iyama said would help him. Toshikawa's ancestor received the codex as thanks for helping a mountain-dwelling hermit, but the contents could not be understood due to being written in an extinct language. Iyama's extract formula may be able to remedy that. By brewing extracts with the material images and seeing their effects on the body, they may be able to find patterns in the language.
First, Iyama asks for Roses, and gives the Extract Recipe: Willow Snake as thanks. Yagami then gives him Garlic, and Iyama gives him the Extract Recipe: Rushing Tiger. Yoshikawa has been slowly deciphering the codex thanks to the metrials Yagami brought. Iyama then asks for a Four-Leaf Clover as the last material needed. For the clover, Iyama gives Yagami the Extract Recipe: Dancing Crane. Yoshikawa arrives, having cracked the code.
Iyama's ancestors were Chinese sorcerers who crossed the ocean in ages past, then became mountain-dwelling hermits. It is not stated why they emigrated to Japan, but the "extracts" are known as "elixirs" in the codex. After demonstrating their miraculous powers, they were made vassals of a prominent ruling family. They used the elixirs to treat illnesses, ward off invaders, and improve livelihood for their domain. They sought refuge in the wilderness from a local lord who wanted to use their power for war, and became nomads as to not be tracked down. For securing their secrets, they began to write in code. The tales in the codex cannot be taken as absolute fact, as no historical douments corroborate the contents. A secret resting place for Iyama's ancestors is in Shinshu, and Yoshikawa offers to visit the site with Iyama.

===Details===
Iyama-san is currently researching the new ancient text alongside Yoshikawa, a professor of folklore and ethnology. This particular text is a codex—an eclectic mix of pictures and words that has yet to be deciphered. What I can do on my part is bring them materials mentioned in the codex, so that the extracts therein can be faithfully reproduced. With any luck, that'll help crack the code.
The mystery regarding Iyama-san's ancestors was solved at long last. Although Professor Yoshikawa couldn't verify the historical accuracy of everything in the codex, Iyama-san was glad to inherit his ancestors' lost lore nonetheless. As he put it, he finally has some firm ground to walk on.
