Shave In Style

Even barbers need shaves.

**Shave in Style** is the 7th case in Island Investigations, the 2nd case to occur at Matnette Industries, as well as the 390th case overall.

## ***Plot***

We get a call about a murder at the Matnette Barbershop and we go there to investigate. We arrive at the scene and found out that the victim's name is Jeremy Matnette, a member of the Matnette family. We also found a pile of technological devices next to the body. We then interrogate Aurelio Matnette, the person who told us about the murder. He told us he didn’t like Jeremy at all and that he spent most of his time in his house. We then search in the pile of tech devices and we found a small camera. We sent it to Nicholas and he told us that the camera found a few photos with Jeremy, but it was also a camera that can be driven with a drone. So we note this down on the killer’s profile. We then go to Julia for the autopsy results and she told us there were parrot feathers on the victim. We note this down. We investigate the victim’s house and we found a medical paper, along with the victim’s phone. On it, we found the phone number of the victim's nurse, Nicole Sandler. We asked her about Jeremy and she told us he had lung cancer. We then unlock the victim’s phone and found some texts between Jeremy and Dex Royce, a businessman who suffered an accident and lost his hand. We interrogate Dex and he told us Jeremy wanted to be his partner. Later, we recap our discoveries and then, Jordan came to us, saying that someone broke into Matnette Family Greenhouse. While recapping the investigation progress, Jordan Foster, the team's informant, came to us, saying that someone broke into the Matnette Family Greenhouse, so we go there to investigate. We found a strange card and a box of papers. We discovered the strange card was supposed to be for Jeremy from a robot called Dorothy. We now look in the paper box and found a threat sent to the victim. We sent it to Karen and she found traces of porridge on the threat, but there wasn’t in the victim’s stomach. We note this down, and then we decide to recheck the barbershop. We talk to Dorothy and she told us she works with an organization here in Santa Matnette and that they need a scientist. We found a voucher with a faded message on it, a locked box, and a metal part, which we sent to Nicholas. We unfaded the message and it says that the voucher was from Jeremy for a certain Rick Amsterdam, a barbershop frequented who we met back at the skate park. We then unlock the metal box and we found some boxes of antibiotics that were sent for the victim from Nicole. We now wonder why Nicole would send him a big amount of antibiotics. We talk to Rick saying he only saw Jeremy at the barbershop, who was a bit scared by Rick’s parrot because he always goes with it to the barbershop. We then talk to Nicole, who said that she sent a big amount of Antibiotics to Jeremy because she thought he had other health problems as well. Then she told us he panicked when he came here because of her parrot, and that he’s allergic to the porridge Nicole eats. She also tried once to record a meeting with her drone camera, but Jeremy refused since he didn’t wanted anyone else to find about his lung cancer. We then go to Nicholas and told us the metal part is used for bionic body parts and without it, the body part will not work correctly. We can only think of one person who would use a bionic arm: Dex. We go ask Dex how does it ended in the barbershop and he told us it was Jeremy’s fault. Dex was working on the drone reparations while eating porridge and his parrot told him Jeremy got out a piece from his bionic arm. Later, we do a revision of the case and get a call from Aurelio saying someone is attacking him. We revise the case and Aurelio calls us, saying someone’s attacking him. We go to see what’s going on and we saw that Rick attacked Aurelio. We calmed him down and asked him to see what’s going on. He told us Aurelio planted a bomb in Jeremy’s house and went to confront him about it. We go to interrogate the house and we did found a bomb, along with some stained glasses. We sent the bomb to Nicholas and he told us this bomb was planted by Aurelio. We then get a sample from the stain on the glasses and found out is some of Dorothy’s oil. We go to talk to Aurelio, saying he placed that bomb because Jeremy did the same to Aurelio’s house, he heard about this when he eated porridge, he told us his parrot was shocked too and since then, he drived a camera with his drone, spying on his moves. We now go to Dorothy and she told us she went at the victim’s house to confront him about the job but he refuses. Dorothy then told us she putted the drone camera on him. We then decide we should go to the Greenhouse and get the last piece of puzzle. We found a razor and a pile of broken tech. We took a sample of the blood and sent it to Karen, and we also repaired the broken pieces and they turned out to be a drone, which we sent it to Nicholas. Karen identified the murder weapon, which is that razor, but she also found out the killer cut themselves in the razor blade and she identified the killer has A- blood. We note this down. We now go to Nicholas and told us the drone belongs to the killer, and there was also some earrings polish on it. We note this down and it’s time to do an arrest.

## ***Killer and Motives***

The killer turned out to be Nicole.

Jeremy thought of Nicole as his daughter, they did everything together. Jeremy was fighting lung cancer and had to go through the worst point of his life. Since Nicole was always there for him, Jeremy begged her to kill him. Nicole refused at first, but Jeremy persuaded her to do so and told Nicole to flee the country right after.

Aurelio sentenced Nicole to 5 years with a chance of parole for 3 years.

## ***Gears of Crime (2/5)***

Since Nicole killed a member of the dictator’s family, the usual sentence would be death by beheading, but since Aurelio didn’t like Jeremy, she was given a lighter sentence. Since we now know that there is dictatorship going on in Santa Matnette, we have to be extra careful with our actions because we don’t want to end up dead as well. After leaving the courtroom, we then get a call from Kim Krause, saying that there's been an explosion in one of his factories, so we rush to the scene.
