The Sense of Death

Welcome to Quebec, Canada! Let's see what awaits us in the year 2005.

The Sense of Death is the 1st case in The Origins, the 1st case in the Eastern Canada Region, and the 600th page in this wiki.

Victim: Cole Webster (Found with his nose cut down)

Weapon: Rope

Killer: James Barry

## Plot

While walking in the streets of Quebec, Max Snowcone and the player found the body of Cole Webster lying against a wall. Near Cole's body was a gift from famous writer Richard Adams. When we asked Richard about Cole's death, he said he was saddened by it as him and Cole were friends and that he has no idea who could've murdered him. Max and the player later find a locked door that leads into the building that Cole's body was lying against. We open the door and find Ronda Warner's bar. When we asked her if she knew Cole, she said she didn't know the name. She then told us that the bar is closed but she can get Max a drink if he desires it. We later find a bag of marijuana hidden for Cole at the local cemetery, which was given to him by businessman James Barry. When we asked James about this, he said that he's been sneaking drugs for Cole for years and that he has nothing against Cole. Later on, we find roses given to Cole by his girlfriend, Clara Spookman. When we deliver the bad news to Clara, she starts to cry and runs off before we can ask her any more questions. Back in the local graveyard, we find a basketball with Cole's DNA on it, signed by a recent college graduate, who is now a famous basketball player from Quebec, named Elliot Desormeaux. We asked Elliot about Cole, but he said that he doesn't know Cole and assumed that he was just another basketball fan. We also found Cole's phone and a faded check at the cemetery. After Imogen Caulfield analyzed the Cole's phone, it was known that the last person he called was Ronda. Ronda said that Cole kept harassing her and that she wanted him to leave her alone. The faded check was for James Barry, which was over a thousand dollars. When we asked James about this, he said that he kept raising the prices for Cole's drugs and that he wasn't having any of it. He threatened to kill James if he didn't lower the prices. Later at the bar, we found a book about cults, which belonged to Richard, a picture showing Elliot beating up Cole, and a breakup letter to Cole from Clara. We asked Richard about the book about cults and he said that he was making a book about cults and that Cole's cult was particularly interesting. Cole, however, was refusing to share any information, so Richard decided to butter him up with presents, like the one the team found at the crime scene. Unfortunately, nothing worked and now Cole's dead, so Richard has to find someone else to write his book about. When we asked Elliot about him beating up Cole, he said that he often saw Cole at the bars, and Cole thought he was better than Elliot. As a response, Elliot often beat up Cole to show him who's boss. Cole threatened to call the police on Elliot and he stopped.

## Killer and Motives

The killer turned out to be James.

Upon admitting to the murder, James said that Cole always had his nose in other people's business and that he found out about James's illegal criminal trades. Judge Virgo sentenced James to 50 years without parole.

## Loose Ends (1/5)

After arresting James for killing Cole, Hunter Hondo tells the team that that Ronda and Clara need our help. Ronda said that once Cole stole her phone and that it's probably in one of the crime scenes. We find Ronda's phone for her and she gets Max's number. When we speak with Clara, she tells us that she needs closure from Cole's death and that he had a picture of the two in his pocket, but that he dropped it at the cemetery. We find Clara the postcard and she thanks us in return. Once we get back to base, Hunter tells the team that a famous fashion designer was found dead in her house. We head there next.
