The team arrived in Valencia to find the Warner Siblings, because according to a tracking device, they were in Valencia. The Chief had appointed Emmeline and the player to look for the Warners. Since, Hilda was currently recovering from her wounds, the chief appointed her to look for the Warners instead. While, they were looking for them, they heard voice of a young woman, who was shouting "Asesinato" which meant murder in Spanish. We ask the woman, she told that her brother, was found murdered on a bus. The duo investigated the crime scene, and found the body of Miguel Rodriguez whose head was bashed. The duo send the body for autopsy. The duo interrogated Valeria Rodriguez, the victim's sister. During her interrogation, she was really desolated on Miguel's death, she confessed that Miguel had returned from a trip of Switzerland, and she came to meet him, only to find him murdered. The duo later found out the identity of the bus' driver, they interrogated Edelmiro Diego, the bus driver, he confessed that their journey was going well, until the bus stopped, he went to check the bus, however it was a technical issue, he went to call someone for help, when he returned back, Miguel was murdered. The duo later found out that the victim had contacted a certain named Luciana Alonso, the duo interrogated her. She revealed herself to be the girlfriend of the victim. She was extremely desolated on Miguel's death, she confessed that Miguel was a really caring, and they have been dating for a long time, and he always has been loyal to her. The autopsy results revealed out that Miguel was bashed to death, specifically by a car jack. At the precinct, the duo was discussing the murder details, Jázmin informed the duo that Hilda has recovered and we receive another news that the duo has able to find Valentin.
Mid–investigation, the duo was informed that Valentin has been found, and is currently waiting for the duo. The duo interrogated him, he was extremely gutted and couldn't believe on the betrayal of Anthony, Emmeline consoled him however he wasn't in the phase, because he was broken from the inside, due to the betrayal because they have been dating for six years, and accepting his betrayal is arduous. Valentin told that he met Miguel earlier because Miguel had dropped his passport, and he returned it back to Miguel. The duo later found that a certain named Priscilla Martinez, she had heard the victim's screams while he was being murdered, the duo interrogated her, she was really frightened, she confessed that while she was outside of the bus, she heard the victim's screams. When she went inside the bus, Miguel was dead. She was still in shock. The duo later investigated the crime scene, and found out a note that was given to the the victim by Valeria. However the message was really uncanny, it has something to do with Luciana. The duo interrogated Valeria, she was still desolated on his death, however she had been noticing from many days that Luciana wasn't paying much attention to Miguel, and was continuously neglecting him, Valeria warned Miguel that he should break with her, because she fears that she is cheating on him, since Miguel was a heart patient, and certain heartbreaks can lend him to have a heart attack. The duo was informed that Brad has recovered, however he is afraid that someone might kill him, because he has been attacked by various people due to sexuality. The duo assured him that nothing would happen like that. At the precinct, the duo was discussing details, we were approached by Liesbeth who informs us about the "master".
Mid-investigation, Liesbeth elucidated the duo about the master, she enlightened them that she was going through Spanish history, and she found out that the "master" ancestors were Spanish, though they were was no clue, where their family settled after leaving Spain. The duo decided to interrogate Valentin about this, because the Warners were a prominent family, and has been well known from past centuries, we asked him about the "master" he told us that the "master" ancestors were known as "Rodriguez" who were Spanish landlords and had relations with the Spanish royalty. The duo was puzzled, they asked Valentin if the "master" was somehow related to Miguel and Valeria, Valentin enlightened us that one of the brothers that time had immigrated to England and adopted the surname "Cooper", however the Coopers also left England around 1900s, and have no idea where they currently live. The duo thanked Valentin about providing extensive information to us. Emmeline consoled him because he was still heartbroken. The duo later found out that the De Bruyn's were affiliated with the "master", and they had gave them refuge during World War II, they were startled that Anthony's family were allies with the Coopers because they have been mass murderers for a long time. In the end, the duo had enough evidence to incriminate Luciana Alonso, the victim's girlfriend for the murder. Upon admitting, she broke down into tears saying she never meant to kill Miguel, she confessed that from a lot of days she wasn't to Miguel or any other man, and eventually figured out she was a lesbian, however she was really afraid to tell it about to Miguel, because he loved her with all his heart, however she had enough potential to tell about this to Miguel, after listening the news Miguel was shocked, and started verbally abusing Luciana, Luciana was attracted towards Valeria, but Miguel couldn't accept his girlfriend dating his sister, and to prevent this he started forcing himself on her, and he did this earlier today, for defending herself she took a carjack and bashed Miguel until he died.
Judge Catalina sentenced her to 15 years in prison. After the confession of Luciana, the chief calls us in his office. He tells us that the Coopers have changed their identity, as their now sign of the Coopers in England. He told the duo to interrogate Valencia, if she has some information about the Coopers. The duo interrogated her, she told us that they have a extensive family, the one who settled in England from Spain was named "Alejandro Santiago Rodriguez" who later changed his name to "Joseph Cooper" after arriving in England. The duo thanked her. After the interrogation, the duo was approached by Angelika, she needed help from Hilda and the player. We talk to her about the matter, she says she needs our help, because Valentin is still heartbroken on the betrayal, and she wants to make him glow up, and for that she is planning to send him a dinner with Emmeline. The duo was glad, because Emmeline was also feeling down from a lot of days. We then take help from Jázmin for choosing the best dress for Emmeline, because she has extensive knowledge about fashion. After choosing the best dress for Emmeline, we convince her to attend the dinner, and Angelika sends us the location, which served delicious Spanish food, as both Emmeline and Valentin were fans of Spanish cuisine. After this, the chief informed us that according to a spy, the mafia is planning to set their hideouts and offices in Spain, and Maria has been a cruel leader already, who is ordering the mafia members to carry out bombings and killings of people in different European countries, and they have send some of their people in Spain. The chief warned us and requested us to be extra conscious for our safety. After some hours, Emmeline returned from the dinner, and she was really cheerful, she told us that the dinner went amazing.
