It’s time to sharpen your blades! You have proven to be capable of cracking even the most vicious of crimes, so you get appointed as an official police consultant. Please, postpone the celebration… For now, the body of a judge has been found on the riverbank. As we all know, such a figure makes many enemies among the villains. Anyone could have killed him. However, after examining the crime scene and the body of the deceased, the pool of suspects narrows down dramatically. The clean-shaven chin of Judge Alexander Therpen is complemented by a fine cut in the jugular vein. And then your prime suspect turns belly up as well… but even that stumble won’t stop you, right?
