Plot
The team arrived on the yacht where the party they were invited to was located. Soon Major spotted a strange looking decoration of a woman's upper-half, which upon further inspection, it was revealed to be a body. After looking through a handbag left on the crime, the detectives identified the victim as model Mathilda Krysten.
Mid-investigation, while the player and Major were relaxing by fishing and looking over the clues, Major caught the lower-part of the victim’s body. Caught by surprise, he dropped the fishing rod and the legs, requiring the detectives to dive into a coral to retrieve the legs. Later on, a drunk Hunter Whitehawk approached us saying that he killed the victim. We later found enough evidence to incarcerate politician's assistant Cassandra Arleen for the murder.
When confronted, Cassandra told the team that Mathilda always tried to find ways to get Kendrick’s reputation ruined like he did with her own. When she saw Mathilda spying on Kenrick and the woman who was gonna marry him in a few weeks, she asked what she was doing. Mathilda explained to her that she was trying to get the politician’s reputation down with a scandal, but she soon realized that Cassandra was his assistant. She then decided to act like Cassandra had hurt her, but Cassandra protected Kenrick by knocking Mathilda out and cutting her in half. She was sentenced to 45 years in prison for manslaughter.
After arresting her, the team decided to go ask Janice about her past. She said that the team of scientists she was on betrayed her by cutting her out and landing her with a criminal record. She then confirmed that Kendrick's brother was part of the team of scientists. They talked to him and he told the team that they had no proof that him or his brother was involved. At the yacht, they find a briefcase which contained cash and a strange syringe in it with a message to Kendrick. After examination, both Janice and Summer told them that they needed to arrest Kenrick immediately because the substance was able to trick the victims into becoming brainwashed and worthless. They confronted Kenrick who tried to deny before admitting that he was influenced by the investments he could have used.
The team also helped Abdul Carla in retrieving a disc but before the team could learn more about Kendrick's affairs with the substance, it was reported that a murder had taken place in the Ocean Bay Hotel.
