## **Plot**

After Burt informing the team about a murder in the mall, the chief then ordered the player and Leo to go investigate. When we arrived at the mall, we found a man lying dead with his face bloated and his nerves visible. We then send the body to Julia Sanchez for examination, she said that judging from how the victim died, she concluded that a syringe is used to kill the victim since she found traces of liquid on his face and a syringe might be the one used to transfer the liquid to the victim's face and she also said that she found traces of beef jerky on the victim's face and since she doesn't found any traces of beef jerky in the victim's system, she said that the killer is the one devoured beef jerky before killing the victim. We also found a pink handbag in the crime scene, we then examined the handbag where we found an ID that belongs to a stock trader named Tiya S., we found her walking in the mall entrance and decided to have a little chat with her, we asked her if she knows any murder but she answered no, we then showed her the picture of the victim and asked her if she recognized it, she said that he recognized the man he said that the man's name is Yousef Hawkins, a golfer, we asked her if she knew him well but she said she doesn't really know Yousef, she just met him because he was a regular costumer in the mall's barbershop which is owned by Ricky Hernandez who is Yousef's close friend, we then realized that we met a barber named Ricky when we investigated the murder of actor, Ross Hamilton we then thanked Tiya for giving us an valuable info. We then decided to head to the mall's barbershop and decided to talk to Ricky Hernandez. We informed him about Yousef's murder and asked if he's close with Yousef, he said that he is since he was Yousef's closest friend after all and he said that he is heartbroken to hear that Yousef is dead. We then asked him if we can searched the barbershop since Yousef come here often, he then gives us permission to search the premises. After searching the barbershop, we found a rainbow notebook and gloves. We examined the rainbow notebook when we recovered the owner's name who turns out to be an Eagle News intern, Amber Montoya. We headed to the Eagle News headquarters where we found Amber. We returned the notebook to Amber and asked her if she knows Yousef, she thanked us for returning the notebook before answering our question, she said she don't know any Yousef since she only saw Yousef often in the mall's barbershop but never interacted with him. We then examined the gloves where we found a yellow substance from it, we then send the substance to Karen Wilson for examination. She said that the yellow substance turned out to be lemonade and since Julia didn't found any lemonade in Yousef's system, she concluded that the killer is the one who drinks lemonade. While having a recap about the murder, Amber Montoya came in saying that she found a man breaking in the abandoned pharmacy in the mall who stole some syringes from inside. Leo Lennox said that the killer might be the one who break in inside the pharmacy and they got thei syringes they used to kill Yousef from there, we then thanked Amber before heading back to the mall, we then found the abandoned pharmacy, Amber is talking about is located in the mall's entrance. We then searched the mall's entrance, where we found the victim's wallet and a broken smart watch. We then examined the victim's wallet where we found a picture of Yousef and the Santa Matnette's Governor, Brett Longhorn. We then decided to head to the Palace to interrogate the Governor. We then entered the Governor's office and asked him about Yousef if he knows him very well. He and Yousef are both part of the golfing club and they often play golf together, he then asked why we are asking him about Yousef, we then break the news that Yousef is murdered, the Governor is shock after hearing the news and orders us to find the killer as soon as possible. We then examined the smart watch which we later send to Nicholas to examine, Nicholas said that the smart watch turns out to be a watch for tracking your fitness and commonly used by people who loves to exercise, he then said that the watch don't belong to Yousef since he checked the watch' contents and found that the watch' owner's weight is 180 while Yousef's weight is over 200, so he said that its safe to say that the smart watch belongs to the killer and that they are 100% Fit. We also searched the destroyed mall again, where we found a torn paper and a CCTV. We pieced the paper back together where we discovered an angry message "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH YOUSEF! - Ricky" after reading the message, we then decided to talk to Ricky again about his angry message to Yousef. Ricky explained that he wrote the angry message since he had enough of Yousef asking for a higher discount always, the last straw is when Yousef smashed his barbershop by smashing the chairs, his equipments and the window. Ricky got really furious and punched Yousef in the face, Ricky gave the message to Yousef before kicking him out. We also unlocked the CCTV and we send it to Nicholas afterwards. Nicholas said that he watched the footage and shocked on what he saw, he said the footage contains Yousef womanizing Amber and touching her and this made Amber uncomfortable and he saw Amber punching Yousef and the video ends after that. We then confronted Amber about it, she said that Yousef is a total womanizer and she will not tolerate her actions so she punched Yousef hard in the face to teach him a lesson. Later on, Cody Horn came in and he said that found out that one of our suspects, Tiya S. filed a restraining order against Yousef. We then called Tiya in to ask her why she filed an restraining order against the late golfer. She said that Yousef was not just a total womanizer but a total jerk too because Yousef humiliated her in front of her boss when she refuse dating him because of Yousef she got demoted that's why she decided to get an restraining order against him. We later decided to return to the barbershop to search for more clues. After having a second sweep of the barbershop the duo found a briefcase which they later opened, the briefcase contains some documents which they later send to Nicholas, Nicholas said that the documents belongs to the Governor and the documents contains an issuing order which he filed about banning Yousef in all of the golfing clubs in Santa Matnette. We then headed back to the palace to confront the Governor, he said that he banned Yousef in all golfing clubs because of Yousef's bad behavior and actions he explained that Yousef once came in the club drunk and he started destroying things he sees which made all of the members mad because of the complaints he received, the Governor decided to issue an order that will ban Yousef in all golfing clubs. We take one last look in the mall's entrance and Leo and the player found enough evidence to arrest the killer.

## **Killer And Motive**

The Killer turned out to be Brett

Brett got hold of information regarding Yousef, who he believed was a member of the cloning team. Since Brett could see Yousef wherever he went, he believed that Yousef was hunting him, so when Brett found him lurking in the destroyed mall, he broke into the abandoned pharmacy, grabbed syringes, and killed Yousef with them.

Judge Sakura sentenced him to 40 years in prison.

## **Critical Infiltration (2/5)**

We arrest Brett and take him in for further questioning. He says that they believe the enemies have all the politicians on their list before the dictator himself, and he thought he was their first target, since he's the governor of Santa Matnette. We ask him about the MI9, since he must know they exist if he's high-ranked, but he said he only heard rumors about them. He said he did hear what their goal was, but he doesn't know if they're connected to the clone makers. We ask him if he saw Ariana Bell in the area, because she's our number one suspect regarding the clones, and he says he did see her walking into a building alongside others but they all wore hoodies. He said that he recognized her, Lidia, and A'lamar but that was it. We then ask him where that building was, but as soon as he starts to answer, he collapses just like Clive did. We rush him to the hospital, but on our way there, we run into a spike trap and the car falls over. We get out of the car but someone tosses smoke grenades at us, and we can't see a thing. To be continued in Case #23...
