Shards of Rage

**Shards of Rage** is the 4th case of Stories Uncaged, the fourth case to occur in Downtown, as well as the 462nd case overall.

## **Killer And Motives**

The killer turned out to be Chachi.

Chachi said that he overheard Herold telling a prostitute that he was going to poison Mason's wine and take his place as the new Blades leader. Chachi, who was fiercely loyal to Mason, couldn't let that happen, so he waited for Herold to be alone in the kitchen and grabbed an empty bottle which he used to smash his head in.

## **The City of New Hope (4/6)**

After arresting Chachi, we go back to the station with him and lock him up while we discuss what to do with the two gangs. Zelma says we have to play it cool, they are both very dangerous and we must not let them start a war, or else there will be serious consequences. She orders us to go back to Herold's house, to search through the crime scenes again. We do just that, and find a hidden trapdoor that covers a hole in the floor. We ask Lillian to crack the digital code on it, and we find guns, ammunition and packs of white powder that we suspect to be drugs. We send the weapons to Lucas, and the drugs to Brianna. Lucas says that the pistols we found are actually from the 1960s, called FEG PA-63, manufactured in Hungary. He says the pistols are registered to a certain Laszlo Toth, an 81-year-old retired collector who lives alone in the city. We decide to visit him in his house instead of bringing him in because of his age. He welcomes us and offers us a seat. We ask him how his weapons ended up in a gang member's house. He says that some people broke into his home a few weeks ago and took some of his weapons he had hanged on his wall. We ask why he didn't report this to the police, to which he replies by saying he didn't think they were worth it that much. Zelma is listening to our conversation with Laszlo, and thinks this whole story of his is suspicious, so she sends Leslie to the house we're in with a search warrant. We take a look around the house and we find a picture of Laszlo and Mason Mills, the Blades' leader. We tell Laszlo to stop lying and he breaks. He says that Mason and him were good friends before Mason became a gangster and found different company. He says Mason threatened him to give out the weapons for them, or he burns Laszlo's house down. We leave the house and return to the station, but before we can do anything, we get a call from Mason who tells us to go to Herold's house as quick as possible. We arrive only to find Nedaara and Shun lying on the ground, Nedaara shot in the chest and Shun being unconscious, with a bump on his head. We ask Mason what happened but he says he only heard the gunshot before running here and finding them like this. After Nedaara and Shun are escorted to the hospital, we decide to interrogate Mason about the pistols first. We tell him that we know about his threats and the drugs Herold was hiding in his house. He says that Laszlo is too old to be trusted and he's out of his mind, because he was the one who offered to give the guns to them and Mason accepted it. Even though his statement seems valid, we still decide to lock him up for now because of the drugs. Soon after the interrogation, we get a call from Zedong, who demands us to rush to his teahouse immediately, because one of his employees was killed.
