## Events Of Crimson County

### Hitting The Ground Dying

Gordon was flagged as a suspect after Alessio and the player found emails exchanged between them regarding a business transaction due to take place the next day. Upon greeting the detectives, Gordon offered them a complementary beverage, only for his charming persona to drop upon being informed of Emily's murder. He then became quite distressed, asking how it could have happened and why they didn't stop it, as he explained that the transaction could've saved a project he was looking to do to help the environment, but with the CEO dead, he could no longer do it, as he informed the detectives that he would then have to take a phone call with his PR team on how to disclose the news to the public.

Gordon was spoken to again after Alyssa informed the detectives that she had watched some press conferences and noticed "intense sexual chemistry" between the victim and Gordon, as Gordon was surprised by Alyssa's deduction and confirmed that he and Emily had been in a sexual relationship. He then said that he had always had a thing for powerful women, and he appreciated Emily's fire, and he had also wanted to take it further - something which Emily was adamantly against as she was only looking for fun, which aggravated Gordon significantly. Nevertheless, he said that he cared about Emily, and wouldn't have killed her, no matter what she said or did.

Gordon was found to be innocent when Imelda Kirk was arrested for the murder.

### The Good Doctor

Gordon was flagged as a suspect for a second time after a coffee cup with his fingerprints on it was found in the bin near the charging stations, as he greeted Alessio and the player calmly, stating that he had wanted to check out what the fuss was about in regards to the robots working in the hospital. Upon finding out about Dr. Szymanska's murder, he was shocked, as he said that he had only met with him earlier and he had been very much alive, but couldn't imagine anyone who would want to murder him. He then got a call on his phone, sighing and attributing it to his brother, as he left to pick up the call.

Gordon was spoken to again after he handed Alessio and the player a bag containing the gun that killed Dr. Szymanska, as he admitted that he had found it on a park bench and thought it would be wise to hand it in, as he wanted to help solve the murder. When quizzed about the multiple inhumane ways Dr. Szymanska acted, Gordon sighingly admitted that he knew about some of his inappropriate behaviours in the workplace, but was amazed by the fact that SUSIE-Q could detect them, rambling about how fantastic they are. He then eventually said that his actions did not make him popular, but he couldn't imagine anyone killing him over them, as he left the detectives to stew on their thoughts.

In the end, Gordon turned out to be responsible for the doctor's murder. Upon being apprehended, Gordon denied the accusations repeatedly before cracking and confessing to the murder. He admitted that in the last year, he had grown addicted to pharmaceutical substances provided to him under the table by Szymanska in order to hide his knowledge regarding Szymanska's unsafe practices on a numerous amount of unknown patients. However, when Szymanska ended his unsavoury practices after his fellow doctors found out, Gordon was no longer able to feed his addiction, and so decided to try and force Szymanska into giving him drugs by holding him at gunpoint. However, Szymanska blatantly ignored Gordon as he spoke to him, which pushed Gordon over the edge, as he then shot Szymanska in the head, killing him. Surprised by the honesty of Gordon's account, Judge Freeman sentenced him to 15 years in prison for the murder.
