Plot[]

Following the anonymous tipoff that was sent to the station, Luke and the player decided to head there and see if they could meet this person. However, the player discovered the corpse of Hugo Scamander, blood gushing rapidly from several wounds in his throat and chest. They soon found clues to suspect weapon expert Liang Mei and her husband, former convict Liang Han as well student and conspiracy theorist Jonah Williams. They soon discovered from private eye Jasmine Benedict that Hugo had been in the snowy woods on the other side of the bridge, leading them to suspect local Linnea Nobel and tour guide Cathy Diamond. Later, the detectives got a message that someone had been taken capture and that it was one of the suspects. Soon, the detectives interrogated suspects for motives and later found the body of Cathy Diamond killed in the same matter as Hugo. Her autopsy and the last clue led the detectives to arrest Han for the double homicide.

Han was confronted about the two murders and he then explained that he killed them both to tie up loose ends. When Luke murmured out loud why Cathy didn't tell them when they first interrogated her, Han explained that she had thought it wasn't the right time due to Hugo's death, which was Han's plan. He told them how he killed the weak link, Hugo since he had been caught and later released as Astrid had decided to not press charges. This then allowed the detectives to be distracted by his death so he could kill Cathy later and throw her corpse overboard. He then admitted no guilt for it all and then told them that he had several pieces of dynamite stuck on his body and that he would blow them all up if they didn't let him go. Mei then stopped him from doing so by knocking him out with a chair. Han was then relieved of his explosives and sent to Judge Marrakchi, where she gave him life in prison in maximum security.

The player went with Luke to visit Han in prison where he taunted the fact that he had talked to one of their own and made them flee the team. That taunting thought made Luke realize that Imani had not come into the station at all that day and they went to the moonlit bridge where they found an old newspaper article wedged in Imani's purse, which revealed Imani had been arrested for a charge of animal trafficking over a decade ago. They then realized that Mei had set up a tracker for each of the team members in an accessory they owned, which led Mei to retrieve her tracker case she left in the train carriage. Mei then informed the team later on that she had tracked Imani's location to a grassland on the border of Wandering Woods and Radar Hill.

After they helped Linnea retrieve her lost necklace, the team went to the grassland to help Imani in what trouble she may have gotten up to.
