Case 3-3 - Recipe for Turnabout

So we round out our investigation by unlocking all these Psyche Locks. Turns out Viola hit Furio on his scooter back in the day, and he paid for the damages and Violas million dollar medical bill in order to get in good with her grandfather, Bruto Cadaverini. Furio is using Viola, and her persisting while being aware of this is kinda painful.

We talk to Lisa Basil, Glen Elgs boss and find that he marked on the calendar that he was going to meet Tiger aka Furio Tigre on the day he was killed. Glen was very behind in his debts and needed to make lots of money fast. Don Tigre also needs to make money fast, because he probably pulled a bunch of shady deals to pay for Violas medical bill in the first place. Glen clearly orchestrated the MC Bomber virus that Tigre sent running through the computer systems over at police HQ, which has thrown the entire precinct into a panic.

Upon further discussion with Victor Kudo, whose nose is still suffering from a horrific case of rosacea, he left the scene for at least a full 5 minutes at Chef Armstrongs request because he had no cell phone and needed to find a pay phone to call the police. This means that with Glen Elg dead, Victor Kudo out looking for a phone, and Maggey Byrde unconscious, Chef Armstrong was left to his own devices with no witnesses for an amount of time, and no one can vouch for what he did during that time.

I would like to state for the record I also dont have a problem with Maggey, as a person or as a character - I just dont think shes a realistic match for Gumshoe. It seems like hed have to do all the heavy lifting emotionally, on top of whatever cheerful optimism hes using to keep his own head above water, and thats just not cool.

Now that weve learned more, its trial time tomorrow!
