### Burning Hot News

Margot became a suspect after we found an amendment bill regarding the Saviors issue in the newsroom signed by her. Initially, we aren't allowed to speak to Margot by her bodyguards, but Margot pushed her bodyguards aside and accepted us to talk to her, recognizing us as her late brother's colleague. When informed about the murder at the newsroom, Margot expressed her condolences, that is until we told her the victim is a Savior, which changed her tune and she wished the victim to rot in hell. She then told us she's been trying to prevent the Saviors from rising more and more, that's why she signed the bill to aid the Emerald City force to stop them in secret since the president supports them.

Margot was questioned for the second time after we found her security form asking them to "silence" Martin. Margot then admitted Martin was like her biggest threat since he's too vocal about hating and criticizing her vice presidency reign. Margot then formally ordered her security team to track and silence the man, regardless of what method, dead or alive.

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

Margot then explained she came to Emerald City because of death threats and chaos in the White House, and she's also aware of her brother's situation and death despite having no contact whatsoever. She is worried about the world leader meeting with the current situation going on, as the meeting starts in 6 days.

### Too Much Risk

Margot became a suspect after we found a coffee cup with her DNA in it at the cafe. Margot then said she was only at the cafe to order coffee, but only for the cafe to close, so she broke in because she can't handle a second without caffeine, only to find the victim lying dead already. She said she didn't recognize the man, as he looks like a vagrant to her, so she didn't pay much attention.

Margot was questioned again after a photo of her having a meeting with a bearded man resurfaced, with the man revealed to be Glukhov Rasputin. Margot told us the meeting was not held by her, but Glukhov himself came to her residence to discuss something. The discussion was simple, as Glukhov wanted her to approve of signing the death penalty bill for citizens who disapprove of the Saviors' ways. Margot refused, which infuriated Glukhov that he threatens to behead Margot once they finished their work. Margot told us she has no affiliation with the Saviors whatsoever, and she didn't sign the bill for them, let alone kill for them.

Margot was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated detention officer Ariel McGraw for Spencer's murder.

## Murder details

Margot was later murdered in the hospital after being taken in after collapsing at her inauguration, having blast injuries on her body. Sullivan felt pity that the only decent politician is now dead, but the positive side is now she's resting peacefully with her brother. Sullivan explained the explosion was strong enough, and the shrapnel pierced through her insides and disintegrated her arm. Sullivan also found some egg whites amongst the remaining shrapnel on the floor, which came from a hard-boiled egg. Since Margot has an allergy to eggs, it means the killer eats hard-boiled eggs.

## Relationship with suspects

Due to her position as the vice president, she gained many enemies, especially among the Saviors. Her presence was threatening enough that The Saviors sent Patrick Saturday, to spy on her. The Saviors also hired hitman Paganini anonymously to eliminate Margot, but he claimed he didn't do it since he prefers using his sniper rifle, not bombs. Margot got car salesman Jacob Pepperbell's cars confiscated after Jacob overcharged his car prices after getting her as a customer, knowing her position. British ambassador Archer Andrews wrote a letter to her expressing his hatred against America for its chaos, the killing of the British prime minister, and all the Savior issues and blames her for causing it. Margot and judge Tanya Palin got into a heated debate after the two are discussing how to deal with the Saviors at a conference meeting, with Margot initiating a peaceful approach while Tanya prefers a hostile approach.

## Killer and motives

The killer turned out to be Jacob.

Jacob says he was walking to his car when two people in masks attacked him and knocked him out. They dragged him to a rooftop and taped him to a switch. He could only free himself from the trap if he pulled the switch, which caused a huge explosion in the hospital that he witnessed from afar.

Judge Palin, after being proven innocent, sentenced Jacob to 5 months on house arrest.
