The Wheels of Doom

**The Wheels of Doom** is the 1st case of Stories Uncaged, the first case to occur in Downtown, as well as the 459th case overall.

## **Killer And Motive**

The Killer turned out to be Ruby.

Ruby couldn't bare Feng's life as a Chinese gangster anymore. She knew she couldn't leave Feng, because the Chinese mob would be after her since they considered her to be a part of their gang too. She knew this would happen because she kept getting unexpected visits from gang members like Herold. She said that she was enslaved by her boyfriend’s affiliations with the Chinese mob and begged for Feng to leave the mob and move out of the city with her, but he said his family wouldn't tolerate it and they would be after them. Ruby then came up with one solution: Kill Feng and be free from the terror.

## **The City of New Hope (1/6)**

After arresting Ruby, we take her to the station for further questioning. Ariel says that this would be the perfect opportunity to ask her about the Chinese mob, since she was heavily involved with them through Feng. She says that she has to keep her mouth shut or she could easily be hunted down and killed. We offer her protection and we promise her to keep her far away from the mob. She says that she's afraid of them because Feng's father, Zedong, is the mob boss. She says that there's a rival gang on the streets called the Blades, who have been gaining more and more power over the past few months, and their uprising made the Chinese infuriated. We realize how big of a threat these two gangs are, and after taking Ruby to custody, we arrange a briefing to discuss this matter. Connor said we have to play this smart, and we should get a permit to look through Zedong's house. Zelma agrees and says she can give us this permit, but before she can order us to go there, Leslie rushes in and says that she was patrolling around the alley where Feng was killed and she saw a suspicious looking person lurking around the area. She said she rushed back as soon as she saw the person so we might be able to find them there if we hurry. We go there to look around the crime scene again, but the only thing we find is an invitation card to a private party held by a certain H. Gibbs. We realize that this H. Gibbs is Herold and we take the card back to the station. After looking through the database, Lillian finds out that Herold is a member of the Blades street gang, and he was probably trying to find something at the crime scene, so we take him in for questioning. Herold acts like he doesn't know anything about being at the crime scene, but when we show him the card we found, he becomes speechless. He says that he was supposed to meet a friend of his there but he didn't come, and that's when he dropped the card. We keep hold of the card and send Herold away. We know now that the Blades are trying to cause trouble for the Chinese, and that this could easily form into a gang war. We decide to attend the party and keep patrol while some go undercover, but Lucas comes in and says that he was trying to find out some information about the Blades gang when he heard a gunshot coming from a studio outside of where he was looking, so we rushed there to secure the scene.
