Plot[]
Previously, the team decided to investigate the castle to look for clues about the Marionette's identity. Isaac and the player arrived at the castle, only to find a woman's body in the moat, killed by drowning. The victim's ID in her purse confirmed the woman to be local librarian Molly Chandler.
During the first chapter, the senator's daughter Charlotte Trent was suspected of the murder alongside the victim's childhood friend Lizzie Coldesack and biker Mike Bosworth. During the second chapter, troubled teen Monica Charleston and the victim's mother Beverly Chandler were interrogated about the crime.
During the course of the investigation, it was revealed that Mike and Molly were in a romantic relationship and had been for a while. Molly was also revealed to have been paying high amounts of money to pay for her mother's healthcare after she was diagnosed with dementia and planned to adopt Monica. Lizzie was annoyed at the victim for her divorce with her husband ten years ago as she discovered that Molly and her husband had been having an affair, Charlotte was also enraged at the victim for reporting her to the police for child neglect. Eventually, Mike was incriminated for the murder.
Initially denying involvement, Mike cracked under pressure and angrily explained that Molly was like a devil. When asked what he meant, Mike said that four years ago Molly had fallen pregnant with his child and he was so excited. Then one day, Molly told him that she had lost the baby. Mike, however, recently found out that Molly lied to Mike and in fact had an abortion. He was outraged at Molly for lying and terminated his child without telling him, so he told her to go to the moat for a romantic picnic but instead hit her over the head and held her under the water. Alexander Donovan understand his reasons and decided to sentence him to 10 years in prison.
During the AI, the team also received a call from the owner of the gas station to report a burglary. After searching the scene, they found evidence linking Monica to the crime. Adam suggested that instead of a jail stint, a new home would perhaps be more beneficial to Monica. After looking through the list of people looking to adopt, they asked Maximillian Osborne who had expressed his desire to adopt. Monica thanked the two for finding her a new home and went with her new adopted father.
During the AI, Yasmeen Grant (arrested after killing Nigel Barstall in Head on the Chopping Block) requested to speak to player about the Marionette. After arriving at her cell, she had "Monster Marionette" written on the walls. Clearly traumatised, Yasmeen told them that the Marionette was the person who told her to kill Nigel and manipulated her into committing murder. Isaac realised this meant the Marionette was behind the deaths of three people.Yasmeen explained that the Marionette first communicated to her through a capsule containing a letter by the castle moat. After finding the capsule in a fishing net, they found a letter addressed to the SSPD on an old parchment saying that the Marionette had in fact been mastermind behind all the murders the player had solved so far in Hidden Falls and the next crime would be committed with their own hands.
At the end of the case, Naomi put the station on red-alert and sent out a warning to all citizens of Hidden Falls that a dangerous criminal was on the loose. They received news that the castle had been set on fire!
