Transcript

Expand for script.

• I wonder what news Jack has for me. He is the key to obtaining more information about Taylor.
• You: Do you have any information on Walter Taylor, Jack?

• Jack: No, not really.

• You: Isn't he a police officer? Why can't you find any info?

• Jack: Well, to be honest, no news is good news too.

• You: Get to the point, Jack.

• Jack: Let's put it this way. We already know Taylor was Wilson's partner, and he died in the line of duty.

• Jack: Under normal circumstances, I'd be able to check the archives for Taylor's personal information.

• Jack: Or look for Taylor's commendation on the police memorial.

• Jack: But neither of these places have any information on Taylor!

• You: But officer Wilson told me...

• Jack: Based on what I now, we have no reason to believe he lied.

• Jack: I can only conclude that Taylor's death is part of a greater conspiracy!

• You: Isn't that obvious!? And I thought you had something insightful to say.

• Jack: I can't help it! There isn't enough evidence! But I managed to get an old officer to talk.

• Jack: He told me about a particular police tradition. Corrupt or criminal officers never receive medals.

• You: (Was Jessica's father involved in police corruption? Was the Mafia involved?)

• You: I see. Thank you, Jack!

• Jack: It's a pleasure doing business with you! I'm looking forward to your next job!

• I bid Jack farewell and think about my next step on the way home.
• The trail on Wilson and Taylor has gone cold... I can only focus my investigation on the owner of the car...
• I decide to follow the plan I discussed with Ivanova. I'll infiltrate the factory and look for the car.

• You: Wellmer Medical's factory doesn't have a uniform, but I should wear something comfortable to work in.

• I feel more confident about blending in after changing my outfit.

• When I arrive at the factory, most of the workers are ready to start work. There aren't many entering the factory at the moment.
• I try to blend in with two fashionable ladies, but a guard stops me.
• Guard: I haven't seen you before. Which work station do you belong to?

• You: I'm Ivanova's replacement.

• Guard: Ivanova? She still hasn't found her kid? Well, the city is huge. Got to be hard to find a kid.

• Guard: Alright, move along.

• I enter the factory and discover a deserted parking lot.
• You: Found it! This is the car! I just have to figure out who owns it.

• You: Hmm... How do I find the owner? I guess I should ask around.

• I leave the parking lot and notice a large gathering of people nearby.
• You: Are they protesting?

• A male protester glares at me. He must have figured out I'm not a protester.
• Protestor: Forced labor with no overtime pay!

• You: (I see. The people in this era have started fighting for their rights.)

• You: (But the labor conditions didn't improve until decades later. I guess years of protests and struggles helped to accelerate the process.)

• You: Fighting for worker rights is a worthy cause! I support you all!

• You: By the way, do you know who owns that car? The car with the registration number 20L310?

• Protestor: Isn't that Rossi's car? Do you have business with our union chairman?

• You: (Hmmm? What does the chairman of a union have to do with Jessica?)

• You: I have some... personal business with him... Is he around?

• Protestor: Of course! He is here every day! He's over there, leading the protest!

• Protestor: Whatever your business is, you've got the right guy! The man's got a heart of gold! He'll help you for sure!

• Protestor: Without him, we would have never been able to organize large scale strikes. What a great man he is!

• You: (Looks like Rossi is well respected around here. Am I barking up the wrong tree?)

• I wait for the protests to subside before approaching Rossi.
• You: (If he's as nice as the protester made him out to be, he should be willing to talk.)

• You: (Even if he's pretending, direct questioning might make him reveal a thing or two.)

• You: Pardon my intrusion, Mr. Rossi. Do you own the car with the registration number 20L310?

• Rio Rossi: Yes. How may I help you, Miss?

• You: Did you collect something from the Metropolitan Hospital on March 12?

Alternate: Did you collect something from the Metropolitan Hospital on March 28?

• Rio Rossi: Who are you? How do you know...

• You: So you did remove Jessica's personal artifacts!

• Rio Rossi: It's true that I was at the hospital... But how did you find out?

• The man panics for a brief moment before bringing his emotions back under control.
• You: My name is Elizabeth Colvin. I'm a reporter.

• You: When I tried to visit Jessica a few days ago, I discovered that she had passed on.

• You: I'm curious about what happened, so I came...

• Rio Rossi: I see. I've read that article, Miss Colvin. It was excellent.

• You: Thank you. I still have questions about the situation if you could spare me some time...

• Rio Rossi: Gladly.

• You: Firstly, what is your relationship with Jessica Taylor?

• Rio Rossi: Long story short, her father and I knew each other.

• Rio Rossi: After Jessica got warded, I would visit her occasionally.

• You: You knew Walter Taylor? How did you get to know him?

• Rio Rossi: I belonged to the Mafia back in the day. Walter had some dealings with us.

• Rio Rossi: There were times when the boss had me trade information with Walter.

• You: Walter had dealings with the Mafia? Does his death...

• Rio Rossi: No. He died in the line of duty, but the Mafia wasn't involved... As for his dealings...

• Looks like Jack's description of Walter is fairly accurate.
• You: Let's go back to Jessica. How did you find out about her passing?

• Rio Rossi: The hospital called. I figured I could go down to handle the formalities.

• Rio Rossi: I mean I knew the Taylors... It's the least I could do...

• You: Why claim her personal artifacts? Why pretend to be her father?

• Rio Rossi: Knowing Walter, he would want Jessica to be buried with him.

• Rio Rossi: So I went to collect her stuff. As for how the hospital operates... Well, I had to use Walter's name.

• Rio Rossi: That's all I know.

• You: (To think the trail has gone cold again...)

• Rio Rossi: I'm not sure what you're investigating, Miss Colvin...

• Rio Rossi: But I would like to offer some words of advice.

• Rio Rossi: There's no need to turn everything into a conspiracy theory. Sometimes, things are as simple as they seem. Besides, curiosity killed the cat.

• You: What are you suggesting?

• Rio Rossi: I'm not suggesting anything. It's just friendly advice for a young person like you.

Accept the Advice

• You: (The information from Jack and Rossi match up. There are no contradictions.)

• You: (Perhaps things are as simple as they seem...)

• You: Thank you for your words of wisdom, Mr. Rossi. It was a pleasure having this talk with you.

• Rio Rossi: The pleasure is mine, young lady.

• Rio Rossi: Care to join me for some tea?

• I bond with Rossi over tea.
• As we chat, I gain a newfound respect for Rossi's life experiences. I believe I've made the right choices!

• Perhaps it was due to the lack of progress, or perhaps it was due to Rossi's advice.
• But I have decided to stop investigating this case. I'm too busy at work after all.

• I lead an ordinary life as an ordinary reporter.
• Reporting on the ordinary life of New Yorkers, going on ordinary dates...
• My life is... ordinary...
• And that's fine... I guess...

• Recognizing the truth is a skill professional reporters need, but it's far better to make your judgement based on evidence.
• (Rossi is good at disguising himself. See things yourself and do not trust him so easily.)
• Obtained Ending

Doubt the Advice

• You: (I can't trust him. There are two major issues with what he just told me.)

• You: The first issue...

His relationship with the Taylors.

• You: (He lied about knowing Walter to justify claiming Jessica's personal artifacts.)

• You: (Wait... That can't be right. There's a possibility that Rossi knows Walter.)

• You: (Did I miss something?)

• You: (Actually, was there even anything wrong with what he said?)

• You: (That isn't quite right. I didn't put enough thought into this.)

• You: (It must be something else.)

The reason he took Jessica's personal artifacts.

• You: (If he wanted to respect Walter's wish to be buried with his daughter, why did he leave Jessica's ashes behind?)

• You: (I'm certain I saw Jessica's ashes at the hospital...)

• You: (What a bald-faced lie.)

He went to the hospital.

• You: (He didn't go to the hospital, did he? It was someone else!)

• You: (But the car...)

• You: (Did someone borrow his car? But he didn't mention anything about that...)

• You: (He probably isn't lying.)

• You: (That isn't quite right. I didn't put enough thought into this.)

• You: (It must be something else.)

• You: (As for the next issue...)

The reason he borrowed Taylor's name.

• You: (The hospital's security is sloppy. He didn't have to use Taylor's name to get in.)

• You: (So what's the real reason?)

• You: (Something feels wrong.)

How he found out about Jessica's death.

• You: (The nurse mentioned Jessica didn't have any next of kin information.)

• You: (If so, why would they choose to call Rossi?)

• You: (Clearly, he lied.)

His history with the Mafia.

• You: (He is a well respected chairman of a labor union...)

• You: (Why would he let a random person like me know about his dark history?)

• You: (I can't verify his past...)

• You: (Wait, that isn't important is it?)

Incorrect analysis

• You: (He might look and sound untrustworthy...)

• You: (But he hasn't lied to me. I should trust him.)

• You: (After thinking about it carefully, Rossi's words make sense.)

• You: (Even if I think something is wrong, there is no evidence.)

• You: (I can't keep investing time and money on this investigation.)

• You: I guess you're right. I need to stop.

• Rio Rossi: Don't be so disappointed, young lady.

• Rio Rossi: Go home, take a shower and have a good rest. Tomorrow will be a better day!

• I follow Rossi's advice, and go home to take a hot shower. I resolve to move on form this silly investigation as I fall asleep.
• Perhaps it was due to the lack of progress, or perhaps it was due to Rossi's advice.
• But I have decided to stop investigating this case. I'm too busy at work after all.

• I lead an ordinary life as an ordinary reporter.
• Reporting on the ordinary life of New Yorkers, going on ordinary dates...
• My life is... ordinary...
• And that's fine... I guess...

• Recognizing the truth is a skill professional reporters need, but it's far better to make your judgement based on evidence.
• (Rossi is good at disguising himself. See things yourself and do not trust him so easily.)
• Obtained Ending

Correct analysis

• You: (Even if everything else he said is true, these two points are glaring contradictions.)

• You: (I shouldn't make a hasty judgment about which parts are lies.)

• You: (But he cannot be trusted.)

• You: (In other words, everything he has said or done is suspicious.)

• You: (He is hiding something.)

• You: (Questioning him like this was a mistake. He will have his guard up in the future.)

• You: (I was rash, but it's too late for regrets. I have to make the best of this situation.)

• You: Oh my, look at the time! I've kept you for too long!

• You: I should get going now, Mr. Rossi.

• Rio Rossi: Oh? And I was about to invite you to tea! What a pity.

• Rio Rossi: There's always next time I guess.

• What a suspicious man. I should investigate him.
