## Events of Time Check

### Too Young To Die

Xihuixochitl was flagged as a suspect after Siobhan was hit by a rock, which caused an injury on her shoulders. Siobhan, angry, confronted the Aztec local about the stunt, causing the man to apologize. Since Xihuixochitl was around the scene, the team asked if he know any murders around, but the fisherman didn't bother to listen and rambles about fishes, before leaving without telling answers.

Xihuixochitl was questioned once again after the team found a barracuda given to Gonzalo. The team asked Xihuixochitl about the idol, the fisherman said that he was aware of the Spaniards entering their land, and he offered the fish as a gift to one of them, which happened to be Gonzalo, hoping they won't invade them violently. The Spanish didn't take the fish kindly, thinking it was an insult instead.

Xihuixochitl was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Hernán Cortés' wife, Alia Cortés, for Gonzalo's murder.

### No Place For Outsiders

Xihuixochitl was interrogated after Siobhan and the player found a quilt made by the late Patic featuring Xihuixochitl on it. Xihuixochitl claimed that he never talked with slaves like Patic, and theorized that she probably included him simply because she saw him from a distance, hunting fishes in the jungle river.

Xihuixochitl was questioned for the second time after the team discovered a note from Xihuixochitl addressed to Patic. He confessed that the note was a threat, claiming that Patic is contaminating the river. The truth was later revealed that the river was contained due to Xihuixochitl's reckless behavior, but he still doubled down on the claims.

Xihuixochitl was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Spanish conquerer Máximo De Leon for Patic's murder.

## Murder Details

Xihuixochitl was found dead at the lake village, with his throat slit. Clive explains that the Aztec warrior was killed with some sort of a short blade, like a dagger, and his death seems to be quick as he would bleed in seconds. He also found marks all over his body, meaning that before the attack, he fought with the killer with dear life, and they won the battle. Since Xihuixochitl has a strong build, it means the killer must be as fit as him to do the deed.

## Relationships with Suspects

Xihuixochitl served the Aztecs with great royalty ever since he was recruited to the army. However, another warrior, Sacnite, opposes him, thinking that he joined simply for power, and it could've been a potential threat. Xihuixochitl criticized Aztec chef Guatemoc's cooking of a fish meal, saying that his choice of fish is poor, before using his expertise as a former fisherman to degrade the chef even more. Xihuixochitl tried to kidnap bishop George Martinuzzi, but failed after his blade broke down. Xihuixochitl has been Mecamara's most trusted soldier, and earned his greatest respect, with Mecamara offering him a higher position after his victory conquering the Ottomans. The Haseki Sultan, Hurrem Sultan, was furious at Xihuixochitl for killing two of her best soldiers during a battle.

## Killer and Motives

The killer turned out to be Hurrem.

Upon admitting to murder, Roxelana tells us after becoming Mecamara's most trusted soldier, Xihuixochitl decided to raid some cities and take them over for Mecamara to show him his worth. However, one of the first cities he attacked was Roxelana's hometown, which he destroyed and killed all the civilians and animals in, which included her parents, siblings, and nephews and nieces, just so he could take the town for himself. Ever since Roxelana heard of what happened, she had been planning on getting revenge on Xihuixochitl. Ever since Xihuixochitl had started to become Mecamara's most trusted soldier, he left his signature everywhere he went. This was how Roxelana knew who she was looking for. One day, she was informed during the war that Xihuixochitl was in the village, trying to kill her and Suleiman. Roxelana told her guards to leave her alone, as she had unfinished business to take care of.

Roxelana pardoned herself for Xihuixochitl's murder.
