Hung Up

Hung Up is the 2nd case in The Origins and the 2nd case in the Eastern Canada Region.

## Plot

After The Sense of Death, Ursula Gemini wanted to introduce herself to the player. Unfortunately, the introduction was cut short, as the chief, Jessica Charles, just got a call from Laurent Leboeuf, saying that he found his wife dead. Ursula and the player head over there immediately to start investigating. We find the dead body of Leanne Leboeuf bashed on the head by a telephone lying on the ground dead. When we ask Laurent what happened, he acted super shook and started crying. We told him to come to us whenever he was ready to talk. We also find a business card belonging to Theresa Thatcher in their living room. When we ask Theresa if she knew Leanne, she said that she was Leanne's lawyer. She said that she liked Leanne and seemed sad that she passed away so soon. She tells us that she was a designer at Kieran Bartlett's fashion company, and that we should check the fashion studio next if we're to find out more about her. We go to Kieran's studio, where we find Kieran making a fancy shirt. We ask Kieran about Leanne, and he said that Leanne was a good worker and has never made a bad piece of clothing. He said she admired her fashion sense and her death will be a huge loss to the fashion world. Later, we find a piece of clothing Leanne was supposed to send to Tessa Snow, a model who wears Leanne's clothes in fashion shows. When we ask Tessa about Leanne, she says that Leanne had a great fashion sense and that her dresses were amazing. We also find a portrait of Leanne and her niece, Ronda Warner. When we ask Ronda about Leanne, she tells us that she was saddened by Leanne's death, as she was a loving aunt and a great person. We later find a breakup letter from Laurent. When we ask Laurent about the breakup note, he told Ursula and the player that Leanne was always so busy focusing on her clothes that she never had enough time for him anymore. We also find the victim's personal phone. After Imogen Caulfield analyzed the phone, she told the team that the last person Leanne called was Theresa. When we ask Theresa about the call, she tells us that Leanne was being tried for copyright against another fashion company and that Theresa couldn't handle it anymore. She said that Leanne was always getting into trouble for taking other fashion brand's ideas and incorporating them into her own dresses. Later, we find footage of Kieran letting go Leanne for embarrassing the company in a fashion show. She said that once Tessa was at a fashion show, and one of Leanne's dresses came late, which humiliated Tessa and made her nearly want to quit. Kieran said that Tessa was one of their best models and that if she left the company, it would bring shame upon Kieran and the entire company. When we ask Tessa about this, she said it was true, but that she wouldn't ever leave the company because of one dumb mistake on Leanne's part. She said that she was good friends with Ronda as well and that she said some rude things about Leanne once. When we ask Ronda about this, she says that she was mad at Leanne once because she was always very bossy towards her. She still loved Leanne no matter what, though.

## Loose Ends (2/5)

The killer turned out to be Tessa.

Upon admitting to the murder, Tessa said that when Leanne delivered her dress to the fashion show late, it ruined her reputation. To get her back, Tessa killed Leanne.

Judge Virgo sentenced Tessa to 35 years in prison.
