## Events of Stories Uncaged

### The Force of Love

Kyo became a suspect after we found his katana lodged near the crime scene. Kyo was surprised to hear about his daughter's death, before telling the detectives that life can be unfair, as it is a game of survival for us all, before mentioning how he nearly died multiple times during his trip from his home village to Tokyo to build a new life and family by foot. Kyo was angry that Mitsuke was taken early instead of him, saying that she still has a long time to live, while he was ready to retire.

Kyo was questioned for the second time after we found Mitsuke's diary listing how she wanted to get rid of her father. Kyo then elaborated that Mitsuke hated him, although he didn't know why she always tried to find a way to get him off the house or the fact she despised him. Kyo said Mitsuke didn't even care if her way of getting him off would risk his life.

Kyo was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Mitsuke's girlfriend, bartender Joni Matthews for her murder.

Kyo later told the detectives that he used to be a member of the Saviors along with Mitsuke, before leaving the group after having enough of their aggressive actions. He tried convincing his daughter, but she was already brainwashed before he and Satoshi fled to America to escape from the Saviors. Unfortunately, the Saviors arrived in America, on Emerald City to be precise along with Mitsuke, and she was tasked to assassinate her father. Kyo didn't want Joni to be in trouble for killing Mitsuke, so he covered up for her. We let him go but decided to keep a close eye since he's on the Saviors' hit list.

### Burning Hot News

Kyo became a suspect after we found a box of Japanese tea utensils in the newsroom. Kyo simply wanted to attend an interview that was requested by a journalist who contacted him about his life in Japan. When informed about Martin's murder and his Savior affiliation, Kyo said that despite Martin's being a Savior, he'll still wish the best for him in the afterlife.

Kyo ended up questioned again after several bullet casings belonging to his gun were found at the crime scene. Kyo told the detectives his real reason for arriving at the newsroom: Because of an urgent letter sent by a mysterious figure. Kyo recognized the handwriting to match his son Satoshi and thinks that he is the one in danger, up until he arrived and nearly got killed after Martin tried to shoot him in his head, and admitted he is the one who forged the letter to make it look like it's made by Satoshi. However, after realizing his gun failed to fire, Kyo fired a shot at him, nearly hitting him and scaring the man away.

Kyo was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Emerald Daily owner Patrick Saturday for Martin's murder.

### The Headless Order

Kyo became a suspect after we found a photograph of him and Leo in a yacht taken five years ago. Kyo told us that back when he is still a Savior, he is very well acquainted with Leo, who took him on luxurious trips across Europe on a yacht. Kyo also remembers Leo usually took some strong drugs and had sex with some hookers, and orchestrated a massive party. But once Kyo left, he ultimately was branded as a traitor, and for Leo, it was no exception, Leo became hostile towards him after that, and even sent threatening messages on his phone, saying that he'll ruin his life as much as he can.

Kyo was questioned for the second time after we found counterfeit money in Kyo's wallet. Kyo sweats, before admitting he took the money from some sort of a secret spot he discovered accidentally, and the place belongs to Leo to meet up with his superiors or a group of assassins. Kyo later admitted he clumsily dropped his gun, which was heard by the assassins and Leo, who began to shoot in his direction. Kyo managed to grab some cash for proof before running away unharmed.

Kyo was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Italian mob boss Niceforo Peirano for Leo's murder.

### The Irony of Power

Kyo became a suspect after we found him sitting on a rock with blood near the creepy castle. We asked Kyo whose blood that is, but he said he has no idea as it was already there, and Kyo needs a place to sit to rest after walking for hours just to reach the castle. We told Kyo to be careful out here since there are a lot of enemies lurking. But before we go, we also asked Kyo about the screams he heard, before he pointed at the castle, saying he heard them on the staircase leading underneath.

Kyo was questioned again after we found a stick with his blood on it. Kyo said he was attacked by Patrick with it unprovoked. When asked why, Kyo claimed Patrick was delusional when he did it, and thinks that he is Martin, the Savior journalist he murdered. When Patrick attacked him, he countered the attack before shoving Patrick into a tree and running away.

Kyo was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated mayor Glukhov Rasputin for Patrick's murder.

## Murder details

Kyo was discovered with his head bashed in the airport terminal. Since Sullivan is still traumatized after killing Brianna and is still locked at his lab, Max took over the job. Max found out that Kyo was struck in the head eight times, which smashed his skull and some chunks of it penetrated the brain. Since the cracks aren't very big enough, he assumed this may be done by a hammer. He also found traces of sugar and mint on Kyo's scalp, which came from a mint candy. Since obviously, Kyo wouldn't place mint candy on his head, it must be the killer who consumes the candy.

## Relationships with suspects

Kyo understood that his life was at risk after leaving the Saviors, so he fended himself by killing a Savior who was after him in his mansion a few weeks ago. The Savior member turned out to be a long-time friend of Savior Ariel McGraw, which ultimately fueled her resentment and retribution to kill Kyo with her own hands, although she contended someone got into him first. Kyo was a close friend of hitman Paganini, who wanted to retire and live a harmonious life with his family and friends, but after Kyo died, Paganini swore to destroy the Saviors to avenge his friend. Kyo was in contact with an M16 agent and informant Yazid Shams to defeat the Saviors, but Yazid can't trust him enough that he brought a bottle of poisonous gas to defend himself. Mayor Glukhov Rasputin tried to contact Kyo, now that both are deemed as traitors from the Saviors, but Kyo still believed that Glukhov is still loyal, so he blocked his number.

## Killer and motives

The killer turned out to be acting chief Bridget Luders.

When cornered, Bridget said the reason she killed Kyo is that he saw her trying to board the exact private plane we took down. Bridget told us she wanted to go home to the United Kingdom and planned to eradicate Emerald City since there is no winning here. When Kyo tried to drag her back to the terminal, she bashed his head multiple times until he dies, to prevent him from talking. Bridget said she is sorry she had to do this, before telling her the plans the Saviors trying to do that pushes her to do the act: Poisoning the city's water system and brainwashing everyone through it. Later, Savior member Delila Nixx arrives before demanding answers from Bridget, who told her about the plans. She refused to talk before Delila punched her and told us we will regret this. Later, the traitor is revealed to be Russian hitman Scarface, who later got beheaded for his treachery by Laszlo. Soon after, in the hospital, we see Savior Sabrina Cooley regaining consciousness, having survived the gunfight in the world leaders' meeting.
