## Plot

The team arrived in Switzerland, in order to save it from the violence of Liesbeth and the Italian mafia. They arrived in the city of Basel. When they arrived, Alistair appointed Hilda and the player to investigate the city, due to the mafia being present. While they were investigating, they heard a scream. The duo investigated the crime scene and found out the body of Florian Schmidt, who was electrocuted to death. The duo send the body for autopsy. We later found out that the victim was a famous Swiss singer, who was going to conduct a concert later today, we later found out that the victim's mother, Wilma Schmidt was the last person to message Florian before his murder, we interrogate Wilma and inform her about her son's murder. She breaks down into tears, and says that her son was her only reason to live, and with him gone, her life meant nothing. She tells us that she was wishing Florian best for his today's concert, but now she can only mourn his death. After her interrogation, Silas later approached us and informed us that he knew Florian, he informed us that his sister Emilie Becker was dating Florian, and she isn't aware of the fact, Hilda was saddened, but we had no other choice, but to interrogate Emilie. We interrogated her, and she greeted us and said that she adores the team, and Silas has told several things about the team to her, we later informed her about Florian's murder, after the news, she started crying, and told us that Florian was really sweet, and she can't believe she lost him, Hilda later consoles her, and then we leave her alone. After the interrogation, Silas requested us to look after Emilie because she is a really sensitive girl, we assure him we will. We later figure out that Meinard Sven, a Dutch stockbroker, had contacted the victim before his death, we were surprised that why the victim had to contact a stockbroker, we interrogated him, he said that Florian had asked him about the recent price of the dollar. The autopsy results revealed out that Florian was killed by electrocution, most possibly by a stun gun. At the precinct, we were discussing murder details, Alexandra approaches us, she is terrified, she informs us that Matthias Hoffman, the Black Slayer has escaped prison.

Mid-investigation, Alexandra informs us that Matthias, the Black Slayer has escaped prison, and she is terrified because he had abused her, and will take his revenge, however Hilda told her to calm down, her panicking can harm the baby. She later settles down, and we later investigate Basel to find the whereabouts of Matthias. However, after a lot of investigation, Matthias was found trying to set up a bomb in Basel, we handcuffed him and took him to the station. We interrogated him, and asked him why he is setting up a bomb in Basel, he starts laughing and says that he doesn't care what happens, he was only doing what Liesbeth ordered him, we were shocked, he told us that he is the member of the Italian mafia, and part of Liesbeth's gang, whose aim is to destroy Swiss neutrality. Matthias devilishly smirks and says that they can't do anything, and he will take Alexandra with him, Hilda got furious and threw a bottle at him, and said that he will never take Alexandra. After the interrogation, we were furious because Liesbeth is trying to ruin Switzerland's reputation, and causing violence. We later find out that the victim was gonna have a concert alongside Eleanore Legrand, a famous Swiss singer, we assume that they were gonna have a concert together, and probably know each other, we interrogated Eleanore about Florian. She tells us that Florian was a great young singer, and she always admired his singing, and it was honour for her to conduct a concert with him, she is sad that the world lost a talent like him. After the interrogation, we find out that Florian was working as a spy, who spied on the Italian mafia and De Grusomme Vantro, and Meinard was also a undercover spy, we decide to interrogate him. During his interrogation, he confesses that Florian and him were working as spies, and were spying on the mafia and the gang, so they can inform the team about their moves, Meinard told us that he wants to retain peace in Europe and he and Florian were trying their best to keep it in peace. At the precinct, we were discussing murder details, we were approached by Emilie, who was crying, after that she became unconscious.

Mid-investigation, Emilie approached us and fainted, we later took her to Jázmin, when she gained consciousness, we asked her why she fainted, she told us that Florian had a proposal for her, and she was unaware of this fact, she was to sad that she fainted, after she told us about that, she also told us that someone was trying to harass her. We asked her who it was, she told us that it was a tall man, who had reddish-brown hairs, and brown eyes, who was wearing a red shirt, we realised that it was Matthias. Hilda got furious, we later interrogate Matthias for his disgusting act. He started laughing and said that Emilie was the hottest girl on town, and he can't control his sexual desires, which was enough for him to harass and nearly assault her. Hilda punches him in the face, which leaves him bleeding, Matthias says she will pay, but Hilda says she doesn't care what happens, but a cunt like him should deserve a painful death. He smiles and says he doesn't cares about it. After the interrogation, Hilda was still furious, she wanted to kill Matthias, but she didn't want to become a murderer. Her anger level was high, and she wasn't able to calm down, the chief said that for the time being Jázmin will take Hilda's place for sometime. In the end, we had enough evidence to incriminate Eleanore Legrand for the murder, upon admitting Eleanore started laughing and revealed herself as a member of the mafia, who told her to eliminate Florian, she admitted that Liesbeth and her gang was planning something really disgusting, for that purpose she had appointed Bernard to carry out that plan, however Florian had figured out the plan, and threatened Liesbeth that he is gonna expose this plan to the world, because it's better if it is exposed, or else something else will happen, we ask Eleanore about the plan, however she refuses and says that she will never turn her back on Liesbeth, killing Florian was her job, which she fulfilled.

We later took her to court, Judge Laurent sentenced her to life imprisonment. After Eleanore's confession, we visit the chief in his office, he tells that Liesbeth and her gang's violence, has been increasing, and we have to eradicate it, he appoints us to visit Eleanore again in the prison, and ask her about the plan, she was talking about. She refused to give details, however she told us that Matthias knows better than her, we realise that the plan might have to do something with Matthias, we decide to interrogate him, when we ask him about the plan, he says that it's abuse and assault, we were disgusted that about what he is planning, he smirks and says they will eventually figure out. After the interrogation, Hilda was furious that Matthias was planning to assault someone, and she can't let him do that, and for that purpose, she teamed up with Silas to defeat him. While we were at the station, we received a call from Liesbeth, who said that we're nothing and soon enough she will take over Europe, she tells us that she has done something to Alexandra, Brad and Emmeline, we ask her to elaborate more, she tells us to figure that on our own, we check up on Brad and Alexandra, however none of them was their, we heard Brad screaming "We're here", we run outside and see Brad covered in bruises, and Alexandra bleeding, Silas panics, he asks what happened, he tells us that Matthias attacked Alexandra, however he had enough potential to throw him and save Alexandra, however she was bleeding and he took her here, so they can take her to hospital, Silas got angry and ran away from their, Hilda ran beside him, but then realised that Alexandra was pregnant, and she took her to the hospital, meanwhile, we received a call from Emmeline, she told us that some of Liesbeth's men tried to abduct her and force themselves on her, however she managed to hit them in the balls, and ran away. The chief said that he was proud of what she has done, and deserves an award. Hilda came back to the station, and told us that the baby is fine, which was a relief, however we were still worried about Silas, after some moments, he returned back, and his wrists and hands were covered with blood, we asked him what happened, he said that he got into a fight with Matthias, and he broke his teeth, we were shocked. We later receive a call from Emmeline, she tells us that Liesbeth has planned something bloody in Lausanne, the chief announced that we are heading to Lausanne.
