Alistair: So Emmeline, I want you to meet to <name>, you will be teaching them about the investigation

Emmeline: Oh I will Chief, you should not worry

Emmeline: (\*twirling hair\*) So you are the new recruit, you look quite elegant, oh well I am getting sidetracked

Emmeline: Anyways, welcome on the team, hopefully we both catch the bad guys together and make history together!

Alexandra: (\*catching breath\*) Guys, Guys there is a body

Emmeline: Oh here it’s our beat cop, Alexandra Leventis, she is Greek soo be careful

Alexandra: (\*frowning\*) Stop spreading lies about me already, I was here too tell you that a body was found in a bakery

Emmeline: (\*disgusted\*) Out of all places, A BAKERY, my inner French is triggered

Emmeline: Well rookie let’s investigate this murder maybe we will know

## Chapter 1

**Investigate Bakery**

Emmeline: (\*sad\*) This poor poor girl, how can someone kill her like that

Emmeline: Judging by her looks, she ain’t French, well don’t care about that, we have to figure out who is she

Emmeline: (\*thinking\*) You found this torn piece of paper, I wonder what this means

Emmeline: (\*smirk\*) Ah you also found this well let’s just say suspicious stuff, I wonder whom it belongs to

Emmeline: You are right, we should talk to the bakery owner, Cadence Beaumont, maybe she knows about the girl

**Talk to Cadence Beaumont**

Emmeline: So Ms. Beaumont, we are the members of European Police Department, do you happen to know the girl by chance

Cadence: (\*sad\*) Absolutely, she was one of my most regular customer, her name's Huang Mei, she was a Chinese immigrant

Emmeline: Chinese you say huh, well we all know the scenario of anti-Chinese sentiment in this country

Cadence: (\*furious\*) Well exactly, Mei felt discriminated here, she would tell me how people called her names

Emmeline: Ugh this is disgusting, anyways we are leaving you for now, if we have any questions, we will reach again to you

**Examine torn paper**

Emmeline: (\*praising\*) Good job rookie, you were quick to piece it back together, might as well piece back my relationship

Emmeline: (\*blushes\*) Well anyways, this note reads "Zorg dat je om 20.00 uur in het café bent, ik wacht op je"

Emmeline: (\*dumbfounded\*) What’s this gibberish, and it’s signed by someone called D.V.A, don’t know who is that

Emmeline: (\*confident\*) We should send this to our tech boy Brad, maybe he will be able to figure out who send this

**Fix Broken engine**

Emmeline: (\*glad\*) Holy shit <name> you are too quick with even metals, I'm impressed

Emmeline: This looks like a car engine, well can’t really which ones, we should send it to our lab chief, Liesbeth Anderiesen for analysis, maybe she can tell us what car this belongs to, though she maybe a douchebag

**Analyse note**

Brad: (\*welcoming\*) Welcome <name>, it’s so nice to meet you, I am Brad Harrington, your techie, I am available anytime well except for when I am sad

Brad: (\*awkward smirk\*) Well sorry about that, anyways about the language

Emmeline: (\*smirk\*) Hey Braddy boy, looking quite cheerful today, did a guy ask you out or something

Brad: (\*blushes\*) Hey don’t expose me like that, anyways about the note

Brad: The note translates to "Meet me at 20:00 at the café, I'll be waiting for you", and it’s signed by a certain named Diederik Van Alphen

Emmeline: (\*dumbfounded\*) Diederik Van what, what a ridiculous name, anyways we should talk to this whoever he is
Brad: Also, I found out this guy is a huge time aristocrat, a rich brat, not so handsome, so watch out

Emmeline: (\*winks\*) Ok Braddy boy, as you say, anyways let’s talk to him

**Interrogate Diederik Van Alphen**

Emmeline: (\*serious\*) Are you Mr. Alphen, we are here to interrogate you on the murder of Huang Mei

Diederik: (\*surprised\*) Mei is dead, how tragic, oh well I guess I saw that

Emmeline: (\*suspicious\*) And what makes you say that Mr. Weirdo

Diederik: (\*thinking\*) Well she was very much active in weekly soirées which I hosted in my mansion here, though she had habit of drinking

Diederik: (\*confused\*) She would always complain about that she couldn’t fit in and everyone hates her

Diederik: (\*thinking\*) She said someone was threatening her that they will kill her and I guess they are the one

Emmeline: (\*surprised\*) Wait someone was following her, why she didn’t inform about this to police

Diederik: (\*furious\*) Apparently the French police debunked it saying she was lying, honestly this kind of behaviour is unacceptable

Emmeline: (\*mad\*) Ugh what cunts, hopefully we find the one who stalked and possibly murdered her

**At the precinct**

Emmeline: (\*furious\*) Ugh <name> I am mad at the fact that the corrupt police didn’t believe poor Mei that someone was following her

Emmeline: You are right! We should investigate her apartment to find more about her, perhaps we will know who followed her

**Investigate Apartment**

Emmeline: (\*sad\*) Look at the condition of this apartment, poor Mei was living miserably

Emmeline: Anyways what did you find here, the victim’s phone well that's interesting

Emmeline: Maybe we can find who was stalking her, by decoding the passcode of this, hopefully you are also skilled on this

**Decode Phone Passcode**

Emmeline: Welldone <Name> you really live up on your profession and skills, anyways let’s see what the message says

Emmeline: (\*thinking\*) "How dare you Mei, I am more beautiful and popular than you, how dare you spread rumours about me", and it’s signed by Roselyn Couture

Emmeline: (\*unbothered\*) Ugh Roselyn, she is one spoiled influencer who is very famous for her various controversial content, I have been her big time hater
Emmeline: You are right, this is already giving me vibes that she might somehow be involved closely to the murder, we should talk to her

**Grill Roselyn Couture about the threat to Mei**

Emmeline; (\*furious\*) So here are you miss Roselyn Couture, ugh

Roselyn: (\*unbothered\*) Yeah I am! Why do you care it’s not like I am kissing your brother or something

Emmeline: (\*mad\*) First of all girl what’s this behaviour, second why did you send threat to Huang Mei, the Chinese immigrant

Roselyn: (\*rolls eyes\*) Ugh you found out that, well that bitch was trying so hard to fit into French culture and the country, people like should belong in China

Emmeline: (\*mad\*) What is the problem with you, are you out of your mind or something

Roselyn: I don’t care, and I heard she is dead, good riddance, at least now I can get all the clout and not her

Roselyn: Anyways, I am late for my live stream, so step aside bitches

**At the precinct**

Emmeline: (\*mad\*) I swear to god that girl is such a melodrama, hopefully we arrest her

Emmeline: Well if only she killed Mei, though I wish she did because I want her behind bars so bad that, how dare she pass racist comments

Emmeline: (\*rolls eyes\*) Well it shouldn’t be surprised given that France treats people like garbage, sometimes I am ashamed to be French

**Examine the Victim's Body (Prerequisite: The Killer eats baguette)**

Jázmin: (\*welcoming\*) Welcome to my lab, I am Jázmin Kertész, your coroner, ya can call me Jazy for short, honestly I don’t care

Jázmin: (\*winks\*) Hey Emmy, you look beautiful in this dress, how many men you wanna get?

Emmeline: (\*blushes\*) Well maybe fifty, that’s not the point

Jázmin: Anyways about the body, the poor girl was shot to death, presumably by a military kind of gun

Emmeline: (\*surprised\*) So our killer is a soldier or something?

Jázmin: (\*confident\*) Well not really, there was no signs of military training on her body as military personnel have some recognisable stunts

Jázmin: (\*hopeful\*) Well what I did found was the plain old French delicacy, guess what

Emmeline: (\*mouth drools\*) Probably wine and some macarons, the good old French delicacy

Jázmin. Sorry to break your ambitions but it’s baguette, I found no baguette in her system

Emmeline: So the killer eats baguette, well that’s the first

**Analyse Car Engine**

Liesbeth: Well who do we here, our new recruit, welcome <name> hopefully you haven’t got bored of the good old Emmeline

Emmeline: (\*rolls her eyes\*) Very funny, anyways what did you find about the car engine what kind of car it belongs to

Liesbeth: Well first of all don’t send me this big ass engine again, second of all this kind of engine is usually in sport cars

Emmeline: (\*cheerful\*) Sport Cars, they are my favourite, my stupid little brother is die hard fan of sports cars, especially Telsa, though he can’t buy it but I can

Liesbeth: Well it’s unfortunate that your brother can’t buy

Liesbeth: Anyways, sports car alone is not a clue, but your colour probably drives a convertible since the engine parts are that of a convertible

Emmeline: (\*surprised\*) How can you do that Liesbeth, I am impressed

Liesbeth: (\*Looks at nails\*) Well I studied automotive so I definitely know my facts unlike you!

Emmeline: Oh my god I died of laughter literally, anyways now we know the killer drives a convertible

**At the precinct**

Emmeline: I'm already tired, the investigation is quite hectic

Emmeline: (\*cheerful\*) Well by you on my side it’s not that of a deal, besides I got my energy regenerated

Emmeline: (\*thinking\*) Let's recap, so we have the bakery owner, who is sad on the demise of Mei since she was her regular customer

Emmeline: (\*suspicious\*) Then he have that Dutch aristocrat, who acted weird when we informed him about Mei's death, pretty sure he has something to do with it

Emmeline: (\*mad\*) Then we have that bitch of a influencer, who threatened Mei, since she was taking her place and becoming more popular

Alexandra: (\*disturbed\*) Guys did you hear?

Emmeline: What happened to you Alexandra, you are always disturbed, cheer up girl!

Alexandra: Well I would if there is a good news to convey

Emmeline: What really happened?

Alexandra: A violent protest have broke out in the streets of Lyon, and there is destruction everywhere

Emmeline: (\*mouth wide open\*) Wait WHAT!
