The Tower Key
The Golden Apple turned out to be Flora, the daughter of Baron Reinhold.The name and legend surrounding the Golden Apple were created by the baron to help him find a suitable guardian for his daughter.
Noise at the Manor
The noise that shook the mansion and scared off Claudia was caused by Don Paolo's flying machine making an emergency crash landing in St. Mystere.
The Vanishing Crank
Bruno, the caretaker to all of St. Mystere, was the one who stole the crank for the bridge. Bruno's intent was to keep the professor in the village long enough to determine his worthiness as a guardian to Flora.
Dropped Cogs
The small cogs recovered by Layton and Luke came loose from Simon and Ramon when they collapsed. The cogs, along with the mysterious disappearances he observed around the village, convinced Layton that all the villagers in St. Mystere were robots.
Lady Dahlia
It's revealed that Lady Dahlia is a robot originally contructed to resemble and behave like the baron's late wife in every way imaginable. The baron commissioned the construction of Lady Dahlia as a way to comfort his daughter. Unfortunately, it had the opposite effect.
Village Disappearances
The abductions around town were actually the work of Bruno, who moved under the cover of the night to retrieve his broken robots. Bruno would bring robots back to the tower to repair them and then return them to the village. As none of the villagers actually knew they were robots, it's only natural that they were terrified by the strange old man.
Mysterious Rumbling
The loud noise emanating from the tower was the whirring of the machines Bruno used to repair the robots of St. Mystere. It's been several years since the creation of St. Mystere. Maintenance becomes necessary more frequently as machines age, hence the reports of increased noise at night from the villagers.
Ramon's Memory
As a robot with several years on him, it's only natural that Ramon would break down sooner or later. He was quickly taken in for repair, then promptly returned to the village, blissfully unaware that he had just undergone a tune-up.
Inspector Chelmey
What a shock! Who could have imagined that Don Paolo, self-proclaimed arch enemy of the professor, was posing as the inspector in an effort to steal the Reinhold fortune? The true Inspector Chelmey never set foot in St. Mystere and is probably at home in London enjoying tea and sweets right now.
The Tower Key
The note the baron left in Archibald's desk gave Layton the clue he needed to realize the key fit into the wall on the north side of town. From there, the professor and Luke could access the path to the tower.
