A woman was found shot to death in St. Peter Park! Who could it be?

Lethal Weapon is the 4th case in The Origins and the 4th case to occur in the Eastern Canada Region.

## Plot

During a peaceful walk in the park, Bessie Waters runs to Ursula Gemini and the player to tell us that her twin sister, Jessie Waters, has just been found dead. We investigate the scene and find Jessie's body shot and lumped against a tree. We ask Bessie what happened and she said her sister got a call to meet on the other side of the park. After an hour of waiting, she went to find Jessie and found her body. Bessie then leads us to Jessie's house, where we start to investigate. We find two things: a wedding skirt given to her by Kieran Bartlett and flowers given to her by her fiancee, Hugh Smith. We ask Kieran about his dress and he said that he was very close with Jessie, and when she decided that she wanted to marry Hugh, he told Leanne Leboeuf to make a wedding dress for her. She died before she could finish the dress, so Kieran took over and finished it. We deliver the bad news to Hugh about Jessie's death, and he starts to break down and cry. He said that Jessie was his true love and that he can't believe that she's dead. We eventually find out about an article about the victim's secrets that's about to be published. After examining the article, we find out that it has been written by famous journalist Fabian Marc-Holmann. When we ask Fabian about the article, he said he went to school with Jessie and that she humiliated him multiple times during class to the point that he was bullied enough to traumatize him. In the cafe, we saw that Jessie was going to have dinner with Theresa Thatcher, her lawyer. When we tell Theresa that Jessie was murdered, she said that she's defended Jessie multiple times and that she was a nice person, and that it is a shame that she died. When the team went back to Jessie's kitchen, they found a breakup letter from Hugh and Kieran Bartlett's bicycle parked in front of her house. When we ask Hugh about his breakup letter, he tells us that he figured out that Jessie was cheating on him with Kieran and that he had enough of her multitasking. When we ask Kieran about his bicycle, he said that he made out with Bessie a few times because while trying to find a girlfriend. He eventually found a girlfriend, named Valerie Bartlett. We then go to the cafe to find some clues and we find an essay, Jessie's wallet, and a contract. The essay belongs to Fabian, a contract with Theresa, and a ripped picture of Jessie and Bessie. When we ask Fabian about his essay, he said that the essay was about a big moment of his life, where he was at a party and Jessie beat him up and severely injured him to the point where he almost died. Fabian wanted revenge, but he claimed to have never gotten it. When we ask Theresa about her contract, she told the team that Jessie was getting caught in a lot of crimes, and that she didn't want to defend her anymore. When we ask Bessie about the ripped picture, she tells us that Jessie was getting very anxious and that she has been getting a lot of anonymous death threats lately. She said that the handwriting on the threats looked a lot like Bessie's and she tried her best to run away from her.
