### Breaching for the Stars

Vincenzo became a suspect after CCTV footage captured him entering the embassy. Vincenzo then told the detectives that he was their informant for a long time before he went into hiding, and introduced his name. We got confused as we met the same person back on campus and asks if he is the same, but Vincenzo had no idea whatsoever, meaning we may deal with a fake back then. When asked about the victim, Vincenzo already identified him as Ace Whitley, whom he described as a "violence loving layabout lard with no qualms of morals and obsessed with anarchy who had spent his life doing nothing but in his room tweeting controversy". Vincenzo also told us that Ace was also a very active protester, staging a lot of riots against politicians in Emerald City.

Vincenzo was questioned again once the detectives matched his gun to be similar to the gun that ended the victim's life. Vincenzo told us this is just a coincidence, as he was a revolver type of guy as he loved the gun so much, especially for self-defense. Vincenzo then assured that he did not kill Ace or anyone, as he only used it when necessary, and killing a protestor is unnecessary.

Vincenzo was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated British ambassador Archer Andrews for Ace's murder.

## Murder details

Vincenzo was found deceased in his home's driveway, with an arrow piercing his head. Sullivan analyzed Vincenzo's wounds and explained the arrow penetrated his brains and nerves which instantly kills him. Sullivan also determined that this arrow may have been a bolt, which is available in crossbows. Sullivan then found traces of hazelnuts on the arrow, and since Sullivan found no traces of hazelnuts on Vincenzo's stomach, it means that the killed eats hazelnuts.

## Relationship with suspects

Stock trader and convicted murderer Leonardo Dicapricorn contacted Vincenzo for a secret discussion, although what they discuss is still a mystery due to Leo's refusal to elaborate. Vincenzo had leaked information about mobster Giuseppe Di Lorenzo to the authorities after witnessing him beating a beggar for looking at him funny, which resulted in his arrest. Lawyer Christopher Knap tried to pressure Vincenzo into revealing police information to him regarding The Saviors, as he felt like something was amiss. CDRA agent Keylon Williams offered protection services to Vincenzo after realizing that his life is in danger, but Vincenzo downright refused. Reality show host Pepper Palmer tried to make a reality show about police investigations but was shut down because of Vincenzo's complaint on the show demoralizing police into buffoons instead of heroes.

## Killer and motives

The killer turned out to be Pepper.

We notice how Pepper's eyes changed, so we already know something's not right with her, but we still ask her what happened. She says that idiot really thought he could just spill their secrets to us and survive. She says every rat will be put down as they should be. She gives us the creepiest smile, before collapsing to the ground, blood gushing out of her mouth. We realize it might be too late, but we take her to Brianna to see if she can still be saved since that would be great for us.
