O Rio da Morte/Dialogues

**Manaus, Brazil**

Tashard: Well guys, we made it to Brazil. There is no time to lose, you have to go help the man who is in the church before they kill him

Spyro: Um breaking news old man. We don't know in which church is the guy who asked for help

Ganika: And the worst of all is that in Brazil there are still zombies. I don't think we should go out yet especially when there's a lot of looting going on

Tashard: Ganika, I know you are terrified of what would happen to the team after the incident in Bolivia but we cannot let this chaos continue to spread. So far our best chance is to find the man who asked for help. If we find him, maybe we'll find the book of the dead

Ryan: You may be right but why worry? We have the very God of life and death on our side. With his help we can beat Mohandas without any problem

Spyro: Um Casanova, did you forget that this "God" can die at the hands of demons?

Ryan: He would still be more powerful than Mohandas or any other member of the cult

Tashard: Enough of this pointless discussion. Spyro, you and the detective will go find the man who asked for help and save him

Ganika: Chief, you can't send Spyro! He still need to recover

Spyro: Ganika I'm fine. Casanova's magic healed all my wounds

Ryan: Yes, I assure you that he is ready to work. I swear by my green aura power

Jennifer: Guys sorry to bother but-

Tashard: \*covers his eyes\* JENNIFER! What are you doing with just a towel? put on some clothes

Jennifer: Sorry chief but I went out with Charlie to swim in a river but when we were having some fun we found a body hanging upside down in the middle of the forest

Tashard: Ugh just what we needed. Spyro go with the detective to investigate the murder, Jennifer lead them to where you found the body. Ganika and Ryan...where did Ryan go?

Ganika: Um Ryan left after \*blushes\* after Jennifer said she was having fun with Charlie

Spyro: I'm not surprised. Even Ryan can't stand hearing what Jennifer does with her s\*x doll

Jennifer: Oh that's it you little-

Tashard; Ugh stop this discussion. Just go investigate NOW

Jennifer: Hmp, follow me detectives I remember very well where I found the body

Spyro: Okay but first put on clothes. And DO NOT mention what you were doing with your doll

**Chapter 1:**

Spyro: Well this was certainly premeditated. The guy must have drowned but who the hell would kill someone like this? Just put his face under the water, hanging him upside down is very unnecessary. Not to mention that it must be very difficult considering where the murderer tied the rope from

Jennifer: I can't believe I agree with you on something. This day can't get any worse

Spyro: Well, if you don't like that I'm right, then go back to the base. The detective and I can solve this murder and arrest the killer

Jennifer: Oh I will. Seeing your face just puts me in a bad mood **Leaves**

Spyro: All right, now that she's gone, let's focus on the murder. Those pieces of wood can be a clue, you should put them together and see what they are. There are also those nets that are full of fish, perhaps among the fish there is some clue as to who they belong to. Finally that seems to be the victim's phone, maybe it has a clue as to who the murderer is but it's blocked. I don't get along with these things so it's all yours detective

**Put pieces of wood together**

Spyro: Well detective that thing turned out to be a...pipe? Don't tell me we have a drug addict as a suspect

???: HEY! That's my pipe. Give me that!

Spyro: HOLY SH\*T! Hey kid, are you okay?! You're missing a leg!

???: Don't call me kid! I am a sací, I thought you, IPS' guys, would know everything about supernatural creatures but now I see you are just tolos

Spyro: WHAT?! I can't believe you're a supernatural creature when you have that face

???: Well, believe it bobagem. My name is Rodolfo and if you don't give me back my pipe I will make life impossible for you

Spyro: If you think that I am scared by a threat from a dwarf like you then you are very wrong. Now you will answer our questions or I'll break your pipe

**Search through the fishes**

Spyro: Detective, is that gold? Don't tell me I'm a millionaire now. Yes, I know I was born in...I was born with money but I never used it and I'm sure I'm not in the will of you-know-who. Anyway, let's see how much it's worth, I'm very curious to know how much money-

???: That gold is not yours! Get out of here!

Spyro: Damn it, a sea creature. Look, we're from the IPS so don't try to attack us or you'll be in a lot of troubles

???: Oh I see. Sorry to scare you IPS, I'm Caboclo D'agua. A water creature, I thought you two were the fishermen who stole my gold

Spyro: Well we aren't but if you inhabit this river then we will have to ask you some questions. And don't think you can go to the depths of the water

**Unlock Victim's Phone**

Spyro: Well done Detective, now we have all the information on where the victim was at hand. Wait, according to his phone this guy believed in the supernatural and encouraged people to hunt them. Great, another man helping Mohandas whether he knew it or not. There are also several photos of the victim in the same place but I don't know where he is. Wait a second, I'll call Ash **Pull out his phone and calls Ash**

Ash: Hello? Ash's speaking, if you call me to complain I will hang up

Spyro: I didn't call you to complain Ash. Jennifer found a body and the detective unlocked the victim's phone. It turns out that he believed in the supernatural and wanted to hunt them down but there are also a dozen photos of the man in one place that I don't know

Ash: I suppose you want me to help you identify it. Of course I can, send me the photos

Spyro: I already did that

Ash: Oh my bad. Well, wait a minute...yep, I identified the place and also the victim

Spyro: That's great. What was the name of the unfortunate?

Ash: The man's name was Gustavo Paim de Jesus. And the place where the photos were taken is called Rua Lobo Branco, I already sent you the location

Spyro: Thank you very much Ash, you were a great help \*hangs up\* You heard the brainy detective. Let's go to that place

**Investigate Rua Lobo Branco**

Spyro: Alright, time to see what we find here. That seems to be a wand, maybe we have to deal with that witch civen leader, Desiree Aretas. Just to be sure let's look for fingerprints and lastly there's that piece of string. It appears to be the same type the killer used to tie the victim upside down, it has a substance on it of which we should surely take a sample. Show your worth detective

**Reveal Fingerprints**

Spyro: Well done detective. Let me look them up in the database...WHATHE HELL?! Detective, these fingerprints belong to Sophia Bartlett. It's that crazy countess who almost led the world into a third world war in 2005. But she died! It must be the work of that scientist whose name I will not mention because it is difficult to pronounce more than any phobia that exists. Now we know who this wand belongs to but where we found that crazy woman?

Sophia: I'm not crazy but I do know if you don't give me back my wand then I'll make my zombies go eat your brain

Spyro: There you are. Wait, you're the one controlling the zombies?!

Sophia: Yes, now give me my wand or else you will become an even bigger fool than you already are

Spyro: Ok I'll give it back to you but first you will answer some questions

**Take substance's sample**

Spyro: Well done Detective, time to send this over to Luudia for analysis. Hopefully this substance will help us catch the killer

**Ask Rodolfo what he is doing near the crime scene**

Spyro: Ok shorty, someone was murdered here in this river and your pipe was found at the scene of the crime

Rodolfo: I know what you're going to ask me, "What are you doing at the crime scene?" Well the answer is óbvia, I am a Sací. I live in the forest

Spyro: Haven't by any chance seen the guy who was drowned here before he was killed? Or something suspicious?

Rodolfo: No but thanks for fixing my pipe

Spyro: Wait, how did you know your pipe was broken?

Rodolfo: I knew it all along. When I saw the body I decided to leave my broken pipe at the crime scene with the hope that the police would fix it and guess what? it worked. Now I don't have to do it myself

Spyro: Oh that's it. Now I won't give you back your pipe

Rodolfo: You don't need to. I already have it in my hands

Spyro: How did you do that?!

Rodolfo: I did it the same way I took this **Shows a belt**

Spyro: Wait, Is that?! **Pants fall down** You little AGH **PLAF**

Rodolfo: Hahahaha we Sachís are known for being mischievous and making pranks. Te vejo mais tarde **Throws Spyro's belt at him and runs away**

Spyro: OUCH! Oh that little goblin is going to regret what he did when I get my hands on him

**Ask Caboclo D'agua about the murder that occurred in the river where he lives**

Spyro: Mr. D'agua, a man was drowned in the river where you live. Do you know anything about that?

Caboclo: No, IPS. The only way I usually know there are humans nearby is because they cast their nets or hooks into the water. I have never seen a man sink, otherwise I would have helped him get to the surface

Spyro: Well, do you know the victim?

Caboclo: I can't help with that either. Sorry, I've never seen him before. If you need my help, you know where to find me, I never leave this river **Submerges in the water**

Spyro: I hope we don't have to dive in to question him again. I pass from swim in a place where people surely relieve themselves

**Confront Sophia Bartlett about helping Mohandas and leading the zombie army**

Spyro: Okay crazy Bartlett, you better tell us why you help Mohandas

Sophia: It's very simple actually. They revived me and now I'm returning the favor causing panic in the streets and killing people with my zombies

Spyro: And did you decide to kill with your own hands? We found a drowned man being hung upside down in a forest river

Sophia: Oh a murder, now that's great. Much more interesting than zombies eating passers-by. They don't have a brain, they only kill to eat, so a murder by someone who is aware of what they are doing is much more interesting

Spyro: You did not answer my question. Did you kill him or not?

Sophia: Boy even if I tell you I didn't do it you won't believe me so you better go back to your investigation. I have more important things to do. Oh and give me back the wand **Snatches her wand from Spyro's hands** Thanks **Leaves**

**Analyze Substance's Sample**

Spyro: Luudia we are in a hurry, we find out who is controlling the zombies but before stopping her we must solve this murder

Luudia: That's great news, Mr. Perriades. I won't delay you with a chit-chat. I have managed to analyze the sample of the substance that was on the rope used by the murderer and it turned out to be a mixture of cassava flour, parsley, eggs and olives. The ingredients of a Brazilian dish known as farofa

Spyro: Let me guess: The killer eats farofa, right?

Luudia: You are right. Whoever the murderer is they undoubtedly loves Brazilian dishes

Spyro: They may love the dishes of this country made of jungles but no matter what Brazilian prison they go to, farofa will not be on the menu

**Victim's Autopsy**

Alexa: Hello guys, how are you? I hope you didn't get a disease from a mosquito or something like that

Spyro: Alexa, I put mosquito repellent on every time I go to a jungle. I hate those things

Alexa: Yeah I understand you. They are unbearable. Now talking about the murder, I can say that the victim did not have a happy ending

Spyro: No sh\*t Sherlock. What is your other deduction? That the victim was drowned?

Alexa: I don't mind your sarcastic comments and besides I can tell you that the victim was knocked out with brute force before being drowned

Spyro: Did the killer leave a trace of something on the victim when they knocked him out?

Alexa: No, but judging by the injuries the killer inflicted on him before tied him upside down and drowned him, they must have used capoeira

Spyro: Capo-what? The only thing that comes to my mind with that word is how they call drug lords in Spanish "capos de la droga". Though I highly doubt that's the meaning of that word

Alexa: Well, you're right. Capoiera is a Brazilian martial arts style. Judging by the victim's wounds, I can say that the murderer used it to subdue the victim

Spyro: So the killer knows capoiera. No matter what style of martial arts they use, whether from our country or from Brazil, they will go straight to prison once we catch them

Spyro: Well detective, this investigation can certainly be related to the supernatural. Especially when there are 2 supernatural creatures and a witch working for Mohandas as suspects. I still can't believe that we will have to face that crazy countess that a group of policemen stopped 18 years ago. There is also that creature of the water and the little goblin that I am going to give him what he deserves as soon as I see him. Lastly, we still don't know where that guy who called for help is, we haven't even seen a church since we got here

Ash: I think you shouldn't speak so soon Spyro, otherwise you would make a fool of yourself much more often

Spyro: What are you talking about nerdy? I never made a fool of myself

Ash: Yes yes whatever you say. Leaving that aside, I have come to bring you very important news

Spyro: And what are those news?

Ash: I have managed to locate the church where the man who asked for help was!

**Chapter 2:**

Spyro: Really?! How did you do it?!

Ash: Hey, a techie never reveals their secrets. Anyway, the church the man was in is near the forest. You should go there and see if he's still there

Spyro: Thanks for the information Ash. Detective, let's go to that church. I hope we didn't come here for nothing

**Investigate Catholic Church**

Spyro: Ok that can't be good. There's blood on the walls, there was definitely a fight here. Wait, the evidence you found links the victim to this place, could it be that it was Jesus who called us for help? You're right I need to focus. That photo you found has the victim in it. I can recognize that hair from miles away. He has a kid in his arms, we should use the database to identify the kid. There are also those papers on that table, they have something drawn on them but I can't tell what it is. We should dust them off! Finally there is that tablet but it is blocked. Do you think it's a clue? Then unlock it!

**Identify Child**

Spyro: Detective, according to our database, the kid in the photo is called Dario Rebelo and he is the victim's nephew. It also says here that Dario is a politics student, great now we have a future big liar on our hands. As if the suspects we had weren't enough. Let's go and inform him about his uncle's death

**Dust Off Papers**

Spyro: Good job dusting- those are Caboclo D'agua sketches?! You're right, there is a written word that says "perigo!". I remember that Jennifer said on the trip to here that perigo means danger. No doubt whoever drew this considered the water creature dangerous and now that I think about it, when I saw the victim's phone he had some posts that confirmed that he was a preacher. Since these papers are on the speaker's table, maybe the victim did them and if that is true then he knew about the existence of Caboclo D'agua. Let's confront that monster about how the victim knew of his existence

**Unlock Tablet**

Spyro: Well done detective now we have to see what information contains that tablet. Just an app to draw? Well, if you think that some drawings will help us in this case, then you're crazy. You really want to try it?! Okay, I won't stop you \*Opens the app\* ...Detective, I hate when this happens. That's a drawing of the victim hanging upside down in the river and it looks like he's slowly descending! This is shocking but what is that drawing style? The victim looks like a cube like the water and surroundings. I'm not going to try to get inside the mind of a murderer so let's just send this to Jennifer for analysis

**Inform Dario about his uncle's death**

Spyro: Mr. Rebelo, I'm sorry to inform you of this, but your uncle is dead. We found him murdered in a forest river

Dario: What?! My uncle is dead?! This is...shocking

Spyro: You are much calmer than I imagined

Dario: Well, this is very sudden. I can't believe velho Gustavo died, I even ate farofa with him yesterday

Spyro: Well, you won't see him again, unless it's at the funeral. Do you have any idea what happened to him? Did he have any enemies?

Dario: There were only discussions with some people who insulted his religion. Though I must say I was starting to think he was going crazy

Spyro: And why did you think that?

Dario: He started preaching things about there being monsters in the forest who are attacking humans. At first I thought that his beliefs had made him believe in the supernatural so I talked to him about it, he told me that one day I would see the truth. I thought he was crazy but then all this zombie madness started! I couldn't believe he was right

Spyro: Well then I guess you have no idea what happened to him

Dario: To tell the truth, yes I have one. One of those monsters must have killed him. I don't know which one but my uncle told me never to go there without a weapon, it seems that his knowledge of them got him killed. I would like to keep talking but I must go. See you later detectives

**Ask Caboclo about how the victim knew of his existence**

Spyro: Alright water monster it's time for you to come out and answer more questions

...

Spyro: Damn, either he's ignoring us or he can't hear us. If it is the second option, what do we do? You're right, he comes out every time there are fishermen. One moment, I'll bring a fishing rod

**Time later**

Spyro: Now it's time to put this plan into action **Starts fishing** If this plan works then I hope it won't take much time. I don't have the patience to wait for the monster to see the hook like those bearded old men do with the fishes

**SPLASH**

Spyro: Ugh my clothes!

Caboclo: IPS. It's nice to see you again

Spyro: Well, I don't. You wet all my clothes!

Caboclo: Oh I'm sorry. It was not my intention

Spyro: I don't care. Now tell us something, we found some sketches of you and we're sure it was the victim who made them. He even wrote that you were a danger! How did he find out about your existence?

Caboclo: Oh well to tell you the truth, I think I know what man you're talking about. I scared him away from this river years ago when he was fishing, I didn't like that he took endangered creatures from here to eat them. To be honest I don't think he knew they were endangered but I didn't care back then

Spyro: So what happened next? Because I doubt he would have made those detailed sketches of you just by seeing you once

Caboclo: What happened was that he came back every day to spy on me and discover my weaknesses! He even attacked me a few times to kill me, calling me an evil creature. I guess partly stealing and eating a bit of the farofa from the fishermen that I scared did not give me a good image

Spyro: No sh\*t. Attacking and stealing is considered bad everywhere. I hope you have not decided to kill him to set an example for others not to mess with you

**Analyze Tablet**

Jennifer: Guys I have to say that this drawing definitely made me laugh, especially when I discovered what "drawing style" the killer used

Spyro: Why would something like that make you laugh?

Jennifer: Oh it's very simple. It is not a drawing style, it is a reference to a very popular videogame

Spyro: Well, I don't know anything about videogames. Just tell me the reference in that drawing

Jennifer: As you want. The drawing itself is a reference to the videogame Tetris. The victim and the surroundings are made like the cubes that the tetris has and the fact that the victim is descending represents the piece that the player has to fit with the others before it touchs the ground or the other cubes

Spyro: So the killer plays Tetris? No doubt the pieces will fall into place when we solve this case. And the murderer will end up falling to jail!

Spyro: Detective, we are getting closer to arresting the murderer, now we know that they play Tetris. Now that we discovered this new information, what should we do?

Jennifer: I'll tell you what you have to do, go to the crime scene and investigate

Spyro: And you're not the old man, why should we listen to you?

Jennifer: Um let me think, maybe because I went back there and saw someone walking around

Spyro: You go back there? Why? And who was the person you saw?

Jennifer: I have no idea who he was, I just know he looked like a murderer or a gang member with few friends. Like you spyro

Spyro: Hey! I don't look like-

Jennifer: As for why I went back to the crime scene, I didn't want to. I wanted to have a good time showering with Charlie but there were no showers on the base so I decided to find another river or lake to bathe. I didn't want to go back there but I got lost in the forest and ended up at the crime scene

Spyro: And that's a very bad idea. What if someone sees you doing whatever you do with Charlie? That would take away their desire to live or they would want to poke out their eyes

Jennifer: I don't care what strangers think Spyro. Now go back to the scene of the crime before that man destroys evidence

Spyro: Ugh fine but I know I'm right. Let's go back to the crime scene detective

**At the crime scene**

Spyro: Detective I don't see anyone. Do you think Jennifer lied to us?

Caboclo: IPS. Thank God you're here. I need your help

Spyro: What going on now water monster?

Caboclo: Someone threw some stuff into my gold grotto. I think it's evidence that can help you in the case. Come, follow me **Submerges in the water**

Spyro: I can't believe I'm going to do this. If I die from the smell of the water, lie to the team and tell them I died heroically **SPLASH**

**Investigate Golden Grotto**

Spyro: Well, I arrived and luckily I didn't die. Let's get out of here quickly before the oxygen runs out, what did you find? That seems to be a box with bullets for hunters, there is a name written on it but I can't read it. How lucky I brought the dusting kit! Finally there is that bible that undoubtedly belongs to the victim, it has a substance on it. We should take a sample and analyze it!

**Dust Off Box**

Spyro: Good work detective. Apparently what was written on the box was not only a name but also a message. It says: "Property of the hunter Antenor Lemos Ito. If you find this, return it to him. NO REWARD!". What a nice man, we should find him and ask him if he was the man that Jennifer saw

**Take substance's sample**

Spyro: Well done detective, let me analyze this in the microscope that I brought **Analyzes the sample** Apparently they are condiments, what are they doing on the victim's bible? According to what his nephew said, he was very religious so he would have no reason to dirty his bible

Caboclo: That's the victim's bible?! Damn, why did I believe his lie when I already know he can't be trusted?!

Spyro: What are you talking about? Who is he?

Caboclo: Rodolfo, a saci who lives in the forest. He's too irritating but I can't get rid of him. He brought that bible here, he told me he found it on the ground by chance but now I doubt that's the truth

Spyro: That idiot! When I see him I'm going to hit him so hard I'll send him to the moon

Rodolfo: Hey companheiro supernatural. How are-what are you doing here?!

Spyro: Gottcha! **Punches him**

Rodolfo: OUCH! C-caboclo me ajuda

Caboclo: I won't help you. Now you will answer the IPS questions whether you want it or not

Spyro: And believe me I'm not in a good mood

Rodolfo: Ugh okay caramba

**Confront Rodolfo about why he had the victim's bible**

Spyro: So child, why do you have the victim's bible?

Rodolfo: Don't call me child! You sound like that idiota I stole that bible from

Spyro: And why did you steal his bible?

Rodolfo: Because he called me a kid! It all started when I was in the forest eating farofa and playing tetris. I ran out of food and I went to look for more, during the way I sat down to relax a bit when that man appeared. When he saw me he gasped and came closer, he asked me "Hey kid, are you okay?" Who did he think he was? I'm much older than him! I deserve respect! So when he asked me that I got so mad that I used my Capoeira skills to attack him and teach him a lesson. When he ran away I realized that he dropped his bible so I took it for myself, I had thought of using it to modify the verses that appear in there in front of Christians to annoy them

Spyro: So he wanted to help you and in return you attacked him because he called you a child? Your attitude does not differentiate you from one

Caboclo: I agree. Get out of here Rodolfo, you are no longer welcome. If I see you again I won't hesitate to attack you

Rodolfo: Hey you can't do that! We are amigos sobrenaturais

Caboclo: We are not friends. GET OUT OF HERE!

Rodolfo: Look what you did IPS! You ruined my friendship with Caboclo! I will take revenge for this

Spyro: Revenge? Interesting because if you took revenge on Jesus by killing him just because he called you a child we are not going to have mercy on you

**Ask Antenor Lemos Ito if he was at the crime scene**

Spyro: Mr Ito, we found your box with your ammunition and-

Antenor: Give me that! \*snatches the box from Spyro's hand\* How did you get it back? I dropped it into the river!

Spyro: That does not matter now. We wanted to ask you if you were near the river but now we have our answer. Our friend told us that you were up to no good

Antenor: You mean that blonde woman? Of course she would say something like that. People like her surely love to gossip about others. Not that I care, it keeps people away from me and my territory

Spyro: Well, in your "territory" a murder occurred. A man named Gustavo Paim de Jesus was drowned in the river where our friend saw you. Do you know anything about that?

Antenor: A murder? I don't know anything about that but I do know that at least that will make people not come to the forest or bring a lot of curious people. Either way I'm going to kick you out of here, I'll kindly ask you to leave just because you gave me back my ammunition. And if you don't leave now you will find yourself with a bullet in your head!

Spyro: Well Detective, this whole case seems to be taking shape. It seems that both the water monster and the annoying goblin attacked the victim. While Caboclo doesn't seem like a bad person on the inside, I can't say the same about Rodofo. That dwarf deserves a beating, no matter what association says otherwise. We also find out that the murderer plays Tetris so we are getting closer to arresting the killer. What should we do now?

Tashard: Everyone to your battle stations! Pick up your weapons and prepare to fight!

Spyro: Chief? What's going on?!

Tashard: We are under attack Spyro! Sophia and her army of zombies are about to arrive here to kill us!

**Chapter 3:**

Spyro: What?! I knew we would end up in a battle to death against her but I didn't expect it to be so soon

Tashard: That does not matter now. You have to go to your battle station before she arrives!

Spyro: Got it boss. Detective, let's go to our battle stations and kill as many zombies as we can! And hopefully kill her too

**After we prepare at our battle stations**

Sophia: Wow, what a great welcome party you have thrown for me. You shouldn't have do it

Tashard: If we fall today, it will be fighting! Do you want blood Sophia? Is that why you came here?

Sophia: It's actually because I'm bored. Leading these brainless is not fun and Tetris ended up frustrating me by not being able to pass a level. I hope you don't mind if I kill you now

Jennifer: What a pathetic excuse. Chief, she's just afraid that the detective and Spyro will find out that she killed that man in the forest

Sophia: WHAT?! How dare you?! I'm not afraid of a cheap copy of the detective I faced in 2005! If I killed that man then I would have confessed right away

Jennifer: If so then you wouldn't be doing this attack so early. You have other more important things to do, after all Mohandas still doesn't consider us a threat to their plans. It's obvious that you're just afraid

Sophia: You know what? For a woman with a similar attitude as yours without a doubt the name that would fit you would be "Karen". I did not kill that man, I am innocent!

Spyro: So how about you give us more time to solve the murder? That way you can show you're not afraid of us by let us find out if you killed Jesus or not

Sophia: Hmp, that trick is the most obvious one in the book. You are the one who is afraid and tries to buy time, that's very pathetic. But I'll do what you say, so people don't make rumors about me. You have until nightfall to solve the case and arrest the murderer, if you don't then your place of eternal rest will be Brazil. Ok dumb zombies, we're off for now. We must continue with Mohandas' plan **Leaves with the zombie army**

Jennifer: **Sigh** We were lucky, I didn't expect this to work. I was just pushing luck

Spyro: Well it worked, at least for now. It seems that she cares about her reputation even though it's obvious she's crazy

Tashard: She most likely follows Machiavelli's philosophy: It is better to be feared than loved. That doesn't matter now son, you must solve this murder while you still have time

Spyro: Alright old man. Detective, we should go back to Rua Lobo Branco to investigate. We know the victim spent a lot of time there so maybe there are clues about his personal life, Let's go!

**Investigate Dark Alley**

Spyro: Well detective, the lights went out. The alley is dark, but I'm sure that didn't stop you from finding clues! That notebook has the victim's name on it, surely there are many things written there!...OF COURSE WE CAN'T READ WHAT IT SAYS! Detective, I hope you brought the dusting kit because I forgot, thank goodness you did. There is also that video camera that still has battery, maybe it has a clue in one of its recordings but it's locked, you know what to do. Lastly, there's that bucket hat, with a bullet hole?! The bullet is still there surprisingly. You should analyze the ballistic fingerprints to see who shot this hat. We must hurry before dusk falls

**Dust Off Notebook**

Spyro: Well done, it's time for us to see what's written there...of course it's in portuguese. Why did I expect it to be in English? It doesn't matter, let's take this to Jennifer so she can translate it

**Unlock Video Camera**

Spyro: Well done detective, it's time to see what this camera has recorded

**In the recording**

Alexa: Hi everyone, I'm Alexa Bommarito the best reporter in the world. We are here in Brazil to inform the rest of the world what is happening in Latin America. Somehow the dead come back to life and people flee their homes to go to Europe or USA. Although there are some people who still want to stay or give more importance to other things, for example I saw a preacher discuss with his nephew about something although I'm not sure what it was. We will interview him later because he was one of the people who affirmed that the supernatural exists, he also claims to have seen a water monster in a river in the forest. Stay with us because when we get back we will ask the man about his experience and what he thinks of this whole zombie apocalypse thing

**End of the Recording**

Spyro: Detective, was that the journalist we met in Papua New Guinea? You're right, that's not important right now. According to what she said, the victim apparently had an argument with his nephew, something he obviously did not mention. Dario may be starting to lie like a politician but it's obvious he's not very good at hiding facts, let's ask him about this

**Analyze Ballistic Fingerprints**

Spyro: According to the ballistic fingerprints, the gun that fired the bullet that hit this hat belongs to that hunter named Ito. You are right, the victim was a fisherman and this is a hat that is used during fishing activities. If this hat belongs to the victim then that ungrateful hunter has a lot to explain. Let's face him!

**Analyze Notebook**

Ryan: Pay me Jennifer. You can't escape your debt forever

Jennifer: Ugh fine take this **Gives him money** Now get out of here

Ryan: **Counting the money** No doubt this bet gave me enough money to buy my favorite food. It was a pleasure doing business with you

Jennifer: "It was a pleasure doing business with you" blah blah blah

Spyro: Wow, did you lose a bet against Ryan? Now that's funny, most bets end with him losing. What was the bet you made?

Ryan: She lost by betting that I couldn't get a kiss from Ganika. But I won, who is laughing now Jennifer? Hahaha

Spyro:...WHAT?! YOU?! Get a kiss from Ganika? Did you make a deal with her to give her part of the money you would get?

Ryan: No. She didn't know about the bet

Spyro: So what magic did you put on her? What spell did you cast on her?

Ryan: None, she just fell for my charms

Spyro: I can't believe THAT!

Jennifer: The kiss was not on the mouth, it was on the cheek. And it was YOUR fault that I lost the bet. Of all the times you nearly hurt yourself to death only to be rescued by Ryan, you just have to do that right in Bolivia

Spyro: Hey, it's not like I wanted to  almost die! Better just tell us what was written in that notebook we found

Jennifer: I'm pretty sure it was the detective who found the notebook but okay. The notebook, as you may already know, was written in Portuguese, most of what it said was regular things about some church meetings or what the was going to eat. The most interesting thing was that on the anniversary of Sophia Bartlett's death, the victim wrote about how everyone celebrated and that she deserved it

Spyro: And who wouldn't think the same? She was crazy! And she still is

Jennifer: Oh I know but the interesting thing here is that the victim also wrote how she disappointed him and that he deeply regretted met her

Spyro: Wait what?! The victim knew Sophia? This is certainly a discovery. Detective let's question the crazy countess about this!

**Ask Sophia how she met the victim**

Sophia: IPS, what do you want now? Are you here to ask me for mercy because you can't find the killer?

Spyro: No more games Sophia. We know you met the victim, Gustavo Paim de Jesus. His notes in his notebook prove it.

Sophia: Oh so he was the victim? I admit I met him once, he wanted my autograph. He was one of my biggest fans because he agreed with my politics but as soon as I became a wanted criminal he abandoned me! He started saying that I was crazy and that I should repent of my sins! He was just like those idiot Russians, a plague! That was one of the reasons why I came here, to give that traitor what he deserved

Spyro: Let me guess. According to you, what he deserved was to be hung upside down and drowned in a river, right?

Sophia: Bah, there wouldn't even be blood killing him like that. What I would have done is hit him with my capoiera skills and then feed him to my zombies

Spyro: Well, if you decided to kill him to take revenge on him because of his "betrayal" No matter how many zombies you have at your command, we will lock you up once and for all

Sophia: HA I never went to prison before and certainly won't now. If you want to stop me you will have to kill me again. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to eat some farofa that I stole from a house while my zombies were massacring their owners. Tchau, bobos

**Ask Dario about what he was arguing with his uncle**

Spyro: Dario you are already becoming like a politician. You withheld information from us! We know you argued with your uncle about something, why were you two arguing?

Dario: So you figured that out, okay I admit it. We had some problems, it's not a big deal

Spyro: Well, for us it is. Now stop avoiding the question and answer us

Dario: Ugh you're just as annoying as him! The truth is that I wanted to be a politician to get power, money! It would be very easy for me to manipulate the masses, I even managed to convince my family that my goal in becoming a politician was to help Brazil. Well, I convinced everyone except velho Gustavo

Spyro: I knew it! There is no way that someone who wants to be a politician is a good person. Now tell us how your uncle found out about your true intentions

Dario: Well, the truth is that he didn't discover my intentions, he was just disappointed at me. You see, I always wanted to be a politician, at first it was to help Brazil, although over time my goals changed. But my uncle's opinion never changed, he was disappointed at me because of my dreams of being a politician. No matter what I was doing, whether it was studying or playing tetris, he would always try to change my mind about being a politician

Spyro: I'm beginning to like the guy, even though he's dead. He certainly knows that having a politician in the family is an embarrassment

Dario: Pfft like I care what you say. Going back to the topic, my uncle was trying to make me change my mind. He wanted me to dedicate to firearms and physical strength, like a bodyguard. Not that I was opposed to that to be honest, I have great skills in martial arts, especially capoiera. Also if I got muscles I would definitely attract girls, that was all. Some arguments from time to time, the last time we argued loudly because Velho Gustavo was desperate trying to get me to change my opinion. He believed that the world of politics was going to change me into a evil person

Spyro: Well, he certainly couldn't stop that from happening. And if you decided to kill your uncle to continue your plan of get money and power through politics then you will only brainwash the foolish prisoners in jail

**Confront Antenor about his murder attempt**

Spyro: Hey ungrateful hunter, you better put that gun down and answer our questions. We know you tried to kill the victim, this hat with a bullet fired from your shotgun proves it

Antenor: Ugh dammit that stupid still gives me trouble even in death. Okay, I shot him but I didn't try to kill him. I just wanted him out of my territory

Spyro: Your "territory"? Do you mean the forest? Latest news baldy, nobody owns the forest

Antenor: Say what you want, I've been living in this place since before you were born. I hate spending time with other people, the only good thing they did was create things that I can entertain myself with, like tetris. Every time one of you comes here I make it clear that you are not welcome, the same thing happened with that guy. I was walking through the forest when I saw a man in a white T-shirt that said "EU AMO JESUS" trespassing my territory. When I saw him I yelled at him to go away and put a bullet into his hat as a warning, then chased him out of the forest to make sure he never came back

Spyro: Well, that's called attempted murder, Mr Ito. We will have to take you with us to our base

Antenor: Like Hell I'll do that **Points his shotgun at Spyro** Now get out of here before I shoot

Spyro: Do you seriously think your little shotgun scares me? I have been in more dangerous situations! **Disarms Antenor**

Antenor: Ugh Desgraçado. I'll kill you

Spyro: How will you do that? Without your little shotgun you are nothing

Antenor: Idiota, I'm a master at capoiera! I WILL KICK YOU OUT OF HERE WITH MY OWN FISTS

**PUNCH**

Spyro: Ugh, my head. That bastard hunter is going to pay as soon as I find him! I can't believe you let him escape. What? Damnit! When did it start to get dark?! We have to find the killer or that crazy ex-countess will try to turn us into zombies food. You're right, the victim was attacked in the church, we should go back to investigate there! Let's go!

**Investigate Preacher's Podium**

Spyro: Very well, what did you find? Those appear to be the victim's glasses and you're right, there's something covering them. Do you think that is a clue? Then let's take a sample! Finally there is that security camera. No doubt it should have recorded how the murderer attacked the victim, it is blocked so you must work your magic. We're close to catching the killer, I can feel it

**Take a sample of the substance on the victim's glasses**

Spyro: Well done. Claudia can tell us what this substance is, I just hope she can do it before the day is over

**Unlock Security Camera**

Spyro: Well done detective, let's send this to Ash. I just hope that this camera hasn't erased the recordings or something like that

**Analyze Sample**

Luudia: Hello detective, Mr. Perriades. I know we have little time left so I'll be as brief as possible. The substance that was on the victim's glasses was saliva and after comparing it with the victim's DNA I can confirm that the saliva does not belong to him

Spyro: So the saliva belongs to the killer, he must have spit on the glasses before dragging Jesus to his death. Did you find any clue?

Luudia: I certainly did. Although the saliva of the victim and the murderer are different, they have something in common. Both show that both the victim and the killer have black hair

Spyro: The victim and the murderer may have the same hair color but without a doubt our murderer has much darker intentions than Jesus. And their black hair is proof of that

**Analyze** **Security Camera**

Spyro: Ash, we don't have time. Tell us what you found

Ash: Right away Spyro. I have to say that the camera for some reason erased all the recordings it had, it must be the work of the murderer

Spyro: So that camera doesn't have any evidence of who the murderer is?! Was this a waste of time?!

Ash: Not so fast Spyro, the killer may have been smart but I am even smarter. I managed to recover some parts of the last recording from the camera before it was erased and the killer can be seen approaching the camera while the victim is unconscious on the ground

Spyro: Seriously?! Who is it?! Who is the murderer?!

Ash: Calm down Spyro. The place was too dark so you can't see his face but I can confirm that the killer is below 6'0''

Spyro: And they will get smaller when they shrink because we caught them

Spyro: We have little time left detective. Let's arrest the murderer of Jesus and show the crazy ex-countess that no matter how big is the challenge, we will overcome it!

**Arrest the Killer**

Spyro: It was you, kid? How could you kill someone?

Rodolfo: I'm not a kid, idiota. I'm older than your entire family name.

Spyro: Don't even mention my family name again. Just tell me why you killed Jesus.

Rodolfo: One day I just felt the urge. The urge to killll. And guess what. I did just that. Hahaha.

Rodolfo: Why him, you ask? Well. That little cobra was preaching his nonsense speeches at that church and actually got people to grab a gun and go. They were after us, supernaturals.

Spyro: And that made you hang him up upside down in the river. Right.

Rodolfo: Best thing I've done in a looong time, companheiro. I would do anything to protect my clan. I know so many creatures who don't deserve to be killed just for what they are. It's the humans who are causing all the problems.

Rodolfo: So when I heard about someone uniting the powerful creatures to get rid of all humans, I knew the perfect way to help them out. By getting rid of this pest. Jesus my a\*\*.

Spyro: Well, your murderous days are over, Rodol-foe. We are locking you up for a loong time, companheiro.

Rodolfo: **Lights a pipe** Ever heard about the myth of Saci? It's so wonderful, isn't it? I can just turn into a bird and fly so far away from this hellhole. I'm sure we will meet again one day. Adeus, losers!

Spyro: DAMNIT! That silly pygmy turned into a bird and flew away. Now we don't know where it is

Ganika: Guys, thank God I found you. We have a problem

Spyro: And what is that problem?

Sophia: Hi IPS. I hope that the little time I gave you was enough for you to solve the case

Spyro: And we did. The killer turned out to be a foolish Saci who killed Jesus because he was convincing people to go kill off the supernatural creatures. We won the challenge, now go

Sophia: Oh but I never said I'd leave if you guys solved the murder

Spyro: W-what?!

Sophia: Ha you are not as smart as you think. However, I already came to do what I had to do. That stupid man whose murder you solved had information about the book of the dead. I found it and after reading it I destroyed all the information he had, now your travel to here was for nothing

Ganika: This is not good. This is not good at all

Sophia: But you know what? All this investigation brought back memories from the past, made me feel nostalgic. I'll let you live for now but the next time we meet you won't be so lucky **Leaves**

Ganika: **Sigh** That was close. Hey guys, where's the killer? Didn't you arrested him?

Spyro: That stupid Saci turned into a bird and flew away from us!

Ganika: What?!

Spyro: There is no time to explain. Let's go back to the base and meet up with the rest of the team

Ganika: Ugh okay. It seems that this continent hates us
