Plot
Following the death of Faduma Sukha, Winston and the player decided to take a well earned break. Two hours later, the team recieved a call from Sabrina Toska saying that the player had to go to Letter Lane, where the body of secretary Annette Schmidt was found with her heart cut out. Immediately, a murder investigation was conducted and the body was shipped to Cornelius.

Cornelius' reported that Annette had been restrained before having her heart cut out. He also reported that he had found hair in Annette's hand, revealing that the killer had blonde hair, and to talk to Annette's husband Gunther. Upon talking to Gunther, he appeared to be very cool and calm making him very suspicious. Winston also noted that Gunther had blonde hair, and decided to go back to the crime scene to investigate. There, the player discovered a bloodied German flag, which they sent Kaylee for analysis.

Although the flag was not the weapon, which actually turned out to be a kitchen knife, Kaylee reported back to the team with another clue, and another suspect. The clue was the killer had German heritage, and the suspect was Claire Schmidt, Annette's mother-in-law. Upon talking to Claire, she appeared very shocked and upset, and begged the player to find the killer as soon as possible.

A while later, Neal called the player and told them to check something out that he had found. According to him,he had found cell phone records traced to a certaim Alison Serritt, a friend of the Schmidt family. She appeared infuritated that she had to talk to the police, and added a remark about having "more important things to do." This made her super suspicious and it was noted she had blonde hair.

After what felt like forever, the team finally got a break. Lindsey had discovered two more clues, the killer smokes marijuana and has a medical degree. Upon talking to the three suspects they had so far, it was discovered that Gunther and Claire were blonde-haired and had German heritage, but the differences between them was Gunther smoked marijuana and had a medical degree. With Alison however, she seemed to have calmed down and had no recollection of ever being mad at police. She told police to look towards Gunther's best friend, Thomas Matthews. After talking to Thomas, it was discovered that he had a medical degree.

At the peak of the investigation, Sabrina called to say that they had a final suspect and the final clue. The final suspect was none other than Deb Hunt, one of the player's very first suspects. It was discovered that Deb actually went to high school with Annette, and was very sad upon hearing of her death. The clue was the killer was a male. With all the evidence and the jigsaw completed, the team arrested Gunther for the murder.

Gunther admitted that he was cheating on Annette with a younger woman, and when Annette found out, she immediately confronted him. Upon being found out, he restrained Annette and cut her heart out. Judge Chamberlain was appalled by his actions and sentenced him to 14 life sentences.

Winston admitted that he had a bad feeling that someone was behind these murders, and that he would not rest until he found out who.

Sabrina congratulated the player on yet another brilliantly solved murder. She also said she had the feeling that someone was behind the murders, and someone they knew well was the leader of the cult which was terrorising Graycott. WInston assured her that they would find out as soon as they could.
