## Events of City of Crimes

### A Gift To Remember

Chapman was first interrogated after detective Miles Patterson and the player found his trophy in the suitcase of the late businesswoman Gong Jongtai. When we asked Chapman about this, he told us that him and Gong were an item and that she was off on a business trip and Chapman decided to give her something to remember him by. We then informed him that Gong was murdered and he begun to cry.

Chapman was interrogated again after the team found a letter he wrote to Gong, calling her a thief. When we asked Chapman about this, he said that Gong often stole his soccer trophies and valuable objects and sold them to make a profit. Chapman said he found out about this after Gong took a trophy of his on her most recent business trip which was likely to sell it. As soon as Chapman caught Gong, however, she ran away.

Chapman was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated chef Finn Tucker for Gong’s murder.

### Hit'n'Run

Chapman was interrogated again after Miles and the player saw a picture with him and the late Preston Bragg. When we asked Chapman about this, he told us that Preston was his teammate and that they were on the same soccer team for years. Chapman said that they were always great friends and went way back, even before Preston joined the soccer team. When we told him that Preston was murdered, his jaw fell open.

Chapman was interrogated again after the team found a text that Chapman sent to Preston, saying, “I may be old, but I still have more skill than you’ll ever have!” When we interrogated Chapman about the message, he told us that Preston wanted to kick Chapman off the team because of his age. Chapman said that he wouldn’t allow it and that no matter how hard Preston tried, the coach, Tiáng Jiang, refused to kick Chapman off the team.

Preston was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated commentator Emily Tucker for Preston’s murder.

## Murder Details

Chapman was found beheaded in the Greensin square fountain. We were told that Chapman’s beheading was a long and painful process caused by something like a knife or a saw. However, on the wound used to cut off Chapman’s head, the team managed to find some fried egg molecules. Hence, the killer eats fried eggs. We were also told that there were fragments of red contact lenses on Chapman’s torso, which means that the killer is also a member of the Summoners.

## Relationship with Suspects

Chapman convinced the soccer coach to kick Summoner Arnav Singhal out of the team since he thought he wouldn’t be good at the sport. Chapman also had a crush on history professor Virginia Daresbury who wanted to start a relationship with him but just didn’t have the time. Chapman also left a low review for restaurant owner Ricky Hernandez’s restaurant, making many long-time customers leave. Chapman also wasn’t afraid to call Summoner Walton Bartlett a creep to his face and told Walton to leave him alone after he kept stalking him after his release. Chapman also threw up after eating sushi chef Megan Smith’s food which nearly ruined her reputation.

## Killer and Motives

The killer turned out to be Ricky.

Upon admitting to the murder, Ricky lied about being “The Gatekeeper” and said that he killed Chapman to try and frame it on Virginia or Megan. He also said that Chapman posed as a threat because he found out everything after Preston’s murder and that he needed to go so their plans wouldn’t be foiled.

Ricky was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility for parole.

### One Last Smile

Chapman was questioned after detective Giles Davis and the player found a paper with his phone number in the late Britney Jennings' dressing room. When we asked Chapman about this, he told us that him and Britney were an item. When we asked Chapman what happened to his soccer career, he told us that he left the team and his friends so he could join Eden's Children, as they were the only ones who could save him from eternal hellfire.

Chapman was interrogated again after the team found out that Britney had another boyfriend, Pat Myaz. When we interrogated Chapman about this, he panicked and said he didn't know Britney had another boyfriend. Chapman then told us that he constantly begged Britney to join Eden's Children so she could be safe from eternal hellfire, but she didn't listen, and now she's paying the price as we speak.

Chapman was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated photographer Weslie Parlington for Britney's murder.

### Unconsecrated

Chapman was questioned again after Giles and the player found his phone in Lady Georgescu's manor. When we asked Chapman about what he was doing in the manor, he said that he was looking for cult member Elin Dominguez so they could get out of there. When we told him that Elin was dead, he told us that we should talk to the leader of Eden's Children, Samuel Seed. We asked him to lead us to Samuel, and he did.

Chapman was interrogated again after Giles and the player found out through cult member Nicholas Madigan that Elin had a crush on him. When we asked Chapman about Elin's crush on him, he claimed that he knew about her crush and that she constantly tried asking him out, but every single time he kept rejecting her advances. Chapman said that it was getting a little annoying but he would've never killed anyone over it.

In the end, it was revealed that Chapman was Elin's killer.

Upon admitting to the murder, Chapman said he became good friends with Elin and they had a lot in common, which is why he shared his opinions about the cult with her. She pretended to agree that their ways are wrong, but she only wanted to play along so she can expose him. When Chapman asked her to leave them with him, she threatened to get him killed and wanted to call the other members to catch him, which made him go crazy. He then grabbed the branding iron and completely lost his mind.

Judge Palin sentenced Chapman to 10 years in Emerald City prison.
