Tourist Trapped

"A murder?! And a tourist too... this is definitely bad for business so get to work and catch this killer."

- Lucy Joust finding out about the murder, quite startled that the first murder for decades occured.

Tourist Trapped is the first fanmade case in Nihilego Fanatic's first season, Paxerton, as well as the first one in the Cosgrove Outskirts district.

Case Background
The case begins with the player arriving in the peaceful city of Paxerton. You are then introduced to your partner, David Jones, who tells you the history of the city.

Paxerton is well-known for its rustic charm and the fact that the crime rate is basically negative.

However, your convesation is quickly interrupted by the police chief, Lucy Joust, who orders you and Jones to patrol the outskirts of town for any possible crimes, which Lucy emphasizes.

Everything starts to fall apart after you find the corpse of bubbly tourist, Betty Wyatt, stabbed through the heart.

Midway the investigation, waitress Shawna Knox causes a fuss in the local cafe, claiming that Alden Greene is harrassing her, which the CEO denies.

At the climax of the case, Shawna Knox is found guilty of the crime. Shawna denies involvement but caves in after all of the evidence is stacked against her. Shawna reveals that she killed Betty because the victim was repeatedly harassing fellow tourist, Heidi Muller and the tourist vented her emotions to the waitress.

Shawna is shipped to court where Judge Kennedy sentences her to 20 years in prison, to the waitress' dismay.

After Shawna's trial, Jones tells you of his suspicions and suggests a visit to Shawna's jail cell in order to delve deeper on the supposed 'first' murder in Paxerton.

However, it's all for nothing a Shawna has nothing more to add, which warrants another talk with Heidi Muller. Strangely enough, Heidi claims to not remember telling Shawna anything and that Betty wasn't even harassing her that much and was merely teasing, which confuses Jones.

You return to the crime scene to delve deeper into the matter. There, you find one of Betty's pamphlet, which is torn to shred. After piecing it together, it shows the local university.

Psychology student, Tess Goodwin, coincidentally arrives, stating that the pamphlet belongs to her. Jones interrogate her about the murder but Tess denies knowing Shawna nor Heidi before rudely leaving.

Jones then suggests checking the local cafe since most University students frequent the cafe. There, you stumble upon a faded notebook. Upon closer examination, you find out that it contains the bare facts about the recent murder. The notebook belongs to another student, Penelope Rivera.

Penelope thanks you for finding her notebook, stating that it has been lost for months before leaving, without answering any questions from Jones, to your partner's disappointment.

As the day ends, Jones suggests checking out the a local university for more clues.
