(Something weird is going on with King Dedede, no doubt about it... Which throws the credibility of his story into question, too.)
(What's more, Chief Bookem is the only police officer here in Cappy Town. And according to him, the crime rate is so low, he spends more of his time directing traffic than catching crooks.)
(So why am I doubting King Dedede's story about his sticky-handed, destructive criminal? Perhaps it's because if there was indeed such a guy around town, Chief Bookem would be out there trying to catch him instead of catching z's on his porch.

Logic in Ace Attorney works by fusing two Logic nuggets together to make a new thought at the cost of the original pair. When a thought is linked to multiple Hypotheses, Ema might have issues keeping her facts straight later on.
So it's best in the long-term to keep things organized and make sure no new idea shares a common "parent" idea.

Oh...
We're using the Sherlock video game logic? You can built-up your case with valid logic, but still have the wrong solution?

Not necessarily wrong, but it would lead us down a different path nonetheless. A good-end resolution to the case might still be possible.
Or perhaps, we unlock "Abstract Thought"... Or we make Ema's mind blow a fuse.

Okay.
[X] Discard hypothesis
-[X] Hypothesis: Sending Ema
I'm saying we should discard this one because the answer is in another logic piece.
Laws between worlds. As we saw when we unlocked it, Dedede was hesitant about saying he could keep us around if we didn't do the job. He can't really contain us without (perhaps) committing some sort of crime. Therefore I think the reason he allowed us to come here was because he didn't have a different choice.
So I think this is the least useful hypothesis for us.

Ah, thank you for reminding me...
Hypotheses are incomplete compared to good ol' Logic nuggets, and as such, cannot be Connected to other thoughts in their current state. It is only when we have Ema stick to and keep her Hypotheses that they evolve into full-fledged ideas (and receive their own icons).
Basically, if a thought doesn't have a corresponding image, assume you can't connect it to anything yet.
I'll go and add questions about Logic to the FAQs on the progenitor post. because alliteration

I have a different theory on how to go about all this if we were to do this by the Ace Attorney method:
Hypothesis: Hero or heel?
Hypothesis: Sending Ema
Because even if we threw out the hypothesis "Sending Ema" , there'd still be the problem of the hypothesis "Does the criminal exist" conflicting with "Hero or heel?" due to both sharing the Logic piece "Trustworthy king?"
Meanwhile, if we threw out "Does the criminal exist?" , I can see a path to using up all the logic pieces up to this point at once. It'd go like this:
Hypothesis: Hero or heel? ---> Resolved or New Logic by itself
Hypothesis: Sending Ema ---> New Logic A
Then we connect the following two logic pieces:
Laws between worlds + Doctorate of what? ----> Hypothesis: "Adopted Laws" ---> Forms into New Logic B
New Logic B would help Ema realize how Earth's laws had been transferred to Popstar: Due to interstellar travel, the inhabitants of Popstar must've traveled to Earth one time and adopted their own from Earth's.
Now here's where it gets interesting. We connect the new two ideas together!
Sending Ema + Adopted Laws =
Given that the laws on Popstar are basically the same as Earth's laws, we can extrapolate as to why King Dedede cannot simply get Kirby arrested: Even he is subject to the laws that govern "his" kingdom, and proper protocol has to be followed in arresting a suspect to a crime. And because Dedede believes that Chief Bookem is too soft in doing his job, His Majesty has taken it upon himself to acquire the services of a detective from elsewhere, one he believes will actually do the job that Bookem is unable to do. Enter one Ema Skye from Los Angeles, California....of Earth. She's essentially the penguin's patsy in trying to lock up Cappy Town's hero once and for all (but she's unaware of that).

Blast, we hit the same roadblock that can derail any train of thought: lack of conclusive evidence. Still, I'm liking how all that flowed together.
By the by, the effort you've put into the different aspects of the Quest to make it emulate the AA series makes it satisfying to read. That and participating in it.

Huh. That worked!
At this point, I fear there is only one thing left to do. We could talk to all the people of Cappy Town... but they would give us one answer. And that's useful, but I'm pretty sure it won't add anything decisive.
And trying to find Kirby is arguably a fool's errand.
I think it may be time to return and accuse the King.
But first, wrapping this whole deal up.

Eureka! requires evidence? I seem to remember that it was said at the end of logic chains, but I could be wrong. Eureka! sort of fits Ema because Science!, but there are likely better options for her, from That's it! to Q.E.D.
Too early. At this point he could say something to the effect of 'Yeah, Kirby is sometimes heroic, but even heroes have to be accountable for their misdeeds and you can't prove he didn't do it!' That being said, I agree with the vote:
