'WARNING: THIS BLOG POST CONTAINS VERY HEAVY SPOILERS ABOUT TOWNVILLE'S CASES. DON'T EVEN READ UNTIL THE CASE YOU'VE REACHED, THE SPOILERS ARE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE POST.'

Before I take my break to start showing you Blue Coasts' cases (I'm already writing Case #3 btw), I thought it could be useful to leave here a summary of what happened in the first series of my fangame so that when I resume with the second season the readers can have an idea of what has happened so far.

Chandler Beemie kills Carlton Klovan to get one step closer to destroying Green Year Parade. Esteban Gonzalez cancels the event permanently.

 * Green Year Parade case, #22.

Downtown
First appearance of Paul Waters, a bank manager running as a mayoral candidate for the Capitalist Alliance in the upcoming elections (and leader of the secret Black Eagle Society). Jonas Gadell kills Josephine Yode to protect Paul's political campaign. First appearance of Linda Farren, a reporter working for Today's Network whose family was in a feud with Barbara's one in Blue Coasts. Bill Pagosh kills Kellin Cardagreen (both employees of Today's Network) to try to make people forget about the company's secret businesses with Zachariah Loas, the Mayor and also mayoral candidate running for the United Socialism. Evan Day and Linda Farren go on their first date. Evan and Linda Farren are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend. Franklin Untrill kills Daniel Peterson for causing damage to fishers.

Friedric Franche kills Martin Darejam accidentally. Lyla Trebish kills her girlfriend Florence Adams for flirting with another person. Lucy Loas, mayoral candidate for the Aristocrat Party; kills the head of the Comunist Party, Alberto Gandil; because he was the most likely candidate to win the elections. Barbara Thacks, with Paul's permission, steals cyanide for her experiments from Lucy's catering shop. The team finds out about this. Gino Reina and the player notice that the cyanide stolen from the catering shop must be in the hands of the serial cyanide poisoner who poisoned a petunia and a fern. Gino nicknames them "Dr. Cyanide". Krey Hjodarp kills Barry Dumbbell in a ritual and Morgan Wid, a priest, saves the player's life during her arrest. Dr. Cyanide calls the police for the first time, using a voice changer to avoid letting them know who she is. She says in a second call that her motive for her poisonings is finding out how her ancestor died. Douglas Jenn kills Christian Edu for comitting terrible "crimes". Jenette Yodes steals furniture from Robert Agrode and kills him after he decides to denounce her. Linda Farren ridicules Joe Lafed (the new head of the Aristocrat Party after Lucy Loas' arrest) in public and he suffers from a surmenage, going to hospital right away. Bertha Zapper kills Joe Lafed in hospital for his political ideas. Linda Farren feels guilty for Joe's death since she caused him to go to the hospital where he was murdered by his nurse; she also loses her job. Val Zenodia denounces Doodley for thievery. Dr. Cyanide reveals that Linda is her target and that she is eventually going to do something to her. Linda Farren kills her former boss, Mitch Anteur, to go to jail and atone for Joe Lafed's death. The team finds out that Doodley is somehow involved in Dr. Cyanide's issue, and Linda says that those two have something in common (as they're both professional thieves). She says that she knows who Dr. Cyanide is but promised to her that she wouldn't reveal her identity. She also gives them a hint about the number 27111918 saying it's also related to the whole issue. In fact, it meant 27/11/1918, the date in which Barbara's ancestor died. She's sentenced to spend 1 year in a psychiatric institution and then the rest of her life in jail. Evan Day tells her their relationship is over. Paul Waters becomes the new Mayor. Barbara Thacks had tried to poison Paul's food to see if he was in fact the true leader of the Black Eagle Society because he had chosen a fake leader (Bryan Stefode) to keep his crimes as secret as possible. He doesn't get poisoned but goes to hospital anyway so Barbara realizes during his absence that Bryan doesn't know what to do, meaning that her theory was right. She tells Paul about this and starts working under his orders and not Bryan's.

Residential Zone
First appearance of Dorian Greensworth (A.K.A. El Pantera), leader of the Flukes, a gang in the city's Residential Zone. The police discovers that the Flukes are the ones giving orders to Gary Perkins since he is a fluke as well and steals for them. Ramon Greensworth asks his brother Gregory Greensworth (A.K.A. Greg) to stage his murder to make their parents notice that their life within a gang was not good for children of their age, but he accidentally kills his brother for real. During his trial, he attempts to send Gary Perkins to jail with the two denouncements against him as a base but the lack of proof of him being Doodley leaves those cases open. First appearance of Ian Wickle, a baker. His wife, Johanna Wickle, kills Hansel Brondele because his wife was Ian's lover. Pablo Sount designs handguns which look very similar to another ones called Fontezo guns. First appearance of Harry Clover, the president of the Sports Club. The team thinks Harry is part of another gang, the Hades (they're actually right but won't find out until Harry dies). Kingsley Winds tries to kill Harry with a firecracker but fails and kills Kelvin Cross instead. Harry says that Hansel Brondele (the victim from the previous case) used to be one of the best baseball players in the city. The team meets Octavius Keys again, since he's now working in the Residential Zone. He starts helping in the player's investigations in the district. First of appearance of Ashton Baldebin (A.K.A. Ash), leader of the Hades. Oscar Burgh kills his biological son and employee, Manuel Prada (who didn't know Oscar was his father), because he didn't respect him. Doodley fools David Hickets's security again, making his grudge for him deeper. Gary says that the way Linda Farren killed Mitch Anteur has been used by her family many times before and confirms that his family is involved in the feud too. Lilette Noah accidentally kills Arnold Eastfield to avoid being killed by him. Ian Wickle is arrested for drug abuse but leaves jail shortly after. Barbara Thacks poisons a parrot as part of her experiments. Miguel Llanos kills Paula Thomas for mocking him after he confessed his love for her. Lindsey Vain and Octavius Keys find out that both have had Orlando Edra, a playboy, as their boyfriend in the past. Dany Jafar kills Herman O'Fray for being a fluke since the gang had caused the death of a woman called Jessica Trimmle 20 years before at a soccer stadium. Barbara Thacks poisons Adam Nobally. Lindsey Vain tries to talk to Orlando, who is now Harry Clover's boyfriend. Harry had dated Barbara some time before to make it seem like he wasn't gay since he was afraid to come out of the closet, and Barbara also dated him because she thought gays are more attractive. She told him that she was secretly Dr. Cyanide and Harry would eventually later tell Orlando that Barbara was a crazy serial poisoner. Lindsey Vain looks for information on Jessica Trimmle and discovers that she had died poisoned with cyanide and that they'd made it look like she'd died at the stadium. She incorrectly assumes Ash is Dr. Cyanide since he was Jessica's husband when she died, but the team notices that Lindsey's guess is definitely wrong, even though they mistakenly do assume that Jessica's death is related to Dr. Cyanide's plan. Matthew Baldebin kills his brother Franco Baldebin for taking advantage of his money. Ash reveals that the mother of his three sons is called Myriam and that after they got divorced, they never saw her again and that she had married a rich man now so she didn't want to be poor with them again. That rich man was in fact Bryan Stefode, the "fake leader" of the Black Eagle Society. Timm Nesta kills Hank Roberts because he wanted to date his girlfriend, and Gino Reina saves the player's life during the arrest. The team takes Harry Clover's cellphone and keeps it. Lindsey Vain discovers that Jessica Trimmle had had a son called George Framel when she was young so the team thinks it'd be a good idea to ask him about his mother's death. George Framel is accidentally killed by Lucy Framel, his daughter, before he's able to talk to the player. Barbara Thacks poisons Sabrina Stone after breaking into the police's headquarters and the team finds out Dr. Cyanide had also poisoned a rabbit months ago. The fact that Sabrina was poisoned inside the HQ prompts Evan Day to think Dr. Cyanide is someone from their team.
