47: Solving the Puzzle

47: Solving the Puzzle

Character: Norman Jayden

Back to Norman again, he is sitting in his office in the ARI looking over the clues.  Blake comes in and tells you that you are no longer wanted - that they now have the case solved, the investigation is over, and they want you out of here!  You are off the case, and are expected to leave.

You and Blake have a revealing conversation in which he learns what you think of him, and you learn what he thinks of you.  Blake leaves and in a moment of weakness you are tempted to turn to your drug again.  After you snort up you go back to the ARI and your butler reminds you not to hit the snort too hard because it can kill you!

At this point you have a choice to make - either give up and end the investigation, or continue.  If you end it, well, Norman is pretty much done with it.  But hey, we are not quitters, right?!

Start by examining the clues in the ARI - and you want to completely examine every clue in careful detail here - starting with the ARI recording of your encounter with the Origami Killer.

Since the ARI was in record mode you have a video to work with.  On the lower right corner you are presented with the commands that you can use to examine this clue.  Start by playing the recording, and then analyze the end - you realize that the sword was already in Paco's office and has no connection to the killer.  It was a weapon of convenience and nothing more.

As you rewind the video pause when you can see the watch on the Killer's wrist - analyze that and you recognize the watch!  You get a mental flashback placing the watch in your memory and you realize that the killer is a cop.

Now we analyze the gun that the Killer dropped at the scene.  It was impounded in a case and is supposed to be in the police impound locker!

Now we analyze the receipts we managed to get by tearing the Killer's coat in the struggle.  If we geoanalyze the receipts we narrow down the zone that the killer lives in.

Now look at the question mark of the suspect cop - when you geoanalyze that you find a warehouse by the docks owned by a cop! 

As you are leaving to follow up on your leads Blake gets a call informing him that the car has been spotted at a warehouse by the docks - presumably this is your taxi?  Either way he tells them he needs SWAT and a chopper - it looks like you are going to have some company!
