Lost in the Desert

Lost in the Desert is case #31 of Police World Tour Edition setting in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia. It stands as the 3rd case in the region of Far Orient.

Case Background
The team followed the Kitsune's trail to the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. The whole place was empty and lonely due to the low population of the region. The team checked a stand of spices in the mid of the dessert...In which they found a body cutted in four parts as a dish in different stands.

The team interrogated the vendor of the stands, Bolormaa. The lady claimed that she was looking for spices and left alone the stands but managed to identify the victim as Ganbaatar, a burglar profaner from archeology objects. Bolormaa told to the team that the victim was always at the lonely town at the east of the dessert and the team went there. The team investigated the ghost town and they found a "Hit" poster for Ganbaatar, once analyzed, the poster was from Kublai Dakhon. Kublai was an archer warrior who was a descendant from the "Dakhon Archers" an ancient warrior clan, known to be be very dangerous and skilled. Fidel suggested to the team to be carefull at interrogating Dakhon since a Baitor warrior is known to be very dangerous even for armed police. Kublai showed not fear to the police at the time of talking to them. He revealed that he was a tough hitman operating in the dessert and he was ordered by an anonymous man to kill Ganbaatar. Later, the team also retrieved the "Ambassador" badge of Kharoun Al Suki, the north korean General they met at Seoul. Kharoun claimed that he decided to stop helping with the Kitsune since he stopped believing that he was from South Korea, and instead, Kharoun went for a military mission at Mongolia. During the chapter end the team got a call from Lin Lin, saying that she found an ancient temple in the mid of the desert.

During chapter 2 the team got with Lin Lin at the temple. Lin Lin told to the team that she was at an expedition of her college but when she found the temple she decided to notify it to the team. Before leaving, Lin Lin presented the player to her classmate and best friend, Marika Abrosimova, an exchange student who was willing to meet the player since she was a fanatic of his adventures after Lin Lin told so to her. The team investigated the temple and found a sack of relics belonging to the victim's partner in crime, Pikkolo. Pikkolo told to the team that they were hired burglars who robbed antiques from the desert but he denied to have killed his partner after running away. The team also discovered that the victim stole relic belonging to the richest person in Mongolia: Muzhrud Khan, the actual descendant of Genghis Khan. He is a very rich professor and he welcomed the team at his palace at the time of speaking to him. Muzhrud told them that some relics were stolen from him recently, although he didn't care for smalls thefts at the Desert (Unless if chinese people were behind it).

The team also found that General Kharoun was keeping tabs on Ganbaatar since he was suspicious for him but he later claimed that Ganbaatar was not the "important suspect" he thought he was. The team also found that the person who ordered a hit on Matteo was none other than the Kitsune. The team demanded Kublai to give them information but he only mocked the team, wickedly plus reminded them to be more careful with him... scaring Milo a little. He did not denied that he was working with the Kitsune but he claimed that someone killed Ganbaatar before him and he was furious for that. During the chapter end, the team returned to the temple but a masked person attempted to behead them with a sword...
