| - Investigate Village Square. Carmen Martinez: Dang, , there’s a dead guy on this cuckoo clock! Carmen: We got here early, but it’s still too late! Carmen: Wait! That’s not just any guy. That’s… the movie star the Chief told us about, Hans Vogel! He’s been killed! Carmen: A movie star dead on our watch! This is way too suspicious… I wonder if the Promethians are involved! Carmen: I see you’re already onto something, ! That faded postcard showing the victim’s name might reveal something after you dust it. Carmen: What’s on that photo you found? A cardboard cutout of our victim? Carmen: A man put his face in the hole to take his picture with Vogel. You’re right, ! Let’s run this guy’s face through our database and see if there’s a match! Carmen: Alright, , let’s get cracking! We have to get to the bottom of this! Talk to Gunther Fritz about the fan photo with the victim. Gunther: Was geht ab, <Rank> ? Would you like some sausage? Carmen: Absolutely… not! And for the love of God, put some pants on! Carmen: Mr Fritz, we’re investigating the murder of the movie star, Hans Vogel. Gunther: Hans Vogel’s dead?! That’s crazy! Carmen: You must be a big fan. We found you smiling in a photo next to a cardboard image of him. Gunther: He went to the Oktoberfest beer hall yesterday, but I didn’t pay attention. I’m a fan, but I was busy preparing for the big sausage contest. Carmen: So our victim was at the beer hall before he was murdered? Come on, , let’s check it out! Investigate Beer Hall. Carmen: Whoa, ! I’m surprised you found anything in this mess. The German sure know how to party! Carmen: You think this torn poster can tell us something about our victim’s visit? Alright, , make it happen! Carmen: And good idea grabbing that gift basket too! There’s got to be something in there. Examine Torn Poster. Carmen: Good work on that torn paper you found at the beer hall! It’s a poster with a photo of the victim standing next to what looks like the mayor. Carmen: It says: “Mayoral Exclusive! A tell-all interview with Hans Vogel”! Carmen: As a journalist, isn’t it strange for the mayor to do an interview? Unless she was doing it as a publicity stunt. Carmen: I agree, ! We need to talk to Mayor Nagel asap! Question Mayor Nagel about her interview with the victim. Carmen: Mayor Nagel, I suppose you’ve heard the news about Hans Vogel? Mayor Nagel: Isn’t it tragic, ? Bierburg’s lost its hero! Who would do such a thing? Carmen: That’s what is investigating! Weren’t you planning to interview Hans Vogel? A bit strange for a mayor – isn’t that usually a journalist’s job? Mayor Nagel: Ja, but Hans was like a son to me. When he told me he had an important secret to reveal, I decided I’d do the interview myself. Carmen: What was the secret Hans wanted to share? Mayor Nagel: I don’t know! He was killed before he could tell me! Mayor Nagel: It was going to be a big event for him and our town, but now he’s gone! We will ALL miss him! Examine Gift Basket. Carmen: Good work getting through that basket you snagged at the beer hall, ! Carmen: Looks like you found a broken cookie. You know the drill. Let’s put it together! Ask Gretl Beutelspracher about the broken heart cookie. Gretl: I loved Hans my whole life! I can’t believe he’s dead. What will I do without him? Carmen: We’re sorry for your loss, Ms Beutelspracher. That explains the broken heart cookie we found. Were you dating the victim? Gretl: Words can’t define what we had. A match made in heaven! From the moment I saw Hans, I knew he was the one. Carmen: Hans and Gretl. Cute. I don’t remember him mentioning you in his interviews. Gretl: We kept our love private. Years of intimate history shouldn’t be exposed for the public. Gretl: My love is gone! Now, I will have the kummerspeck! Carmen: Yeah, I don’t know what that means… so, I’ll leave you to that. Examine Faded Postcard. Carmen: Pretty sharp, ! You revealed a message on this postcard, addressed to the victim. Carmen: The message reads: “Meet me here” and there seems to be some kind of code written on it. Any idea what it could mean, ? Carmen: Hmm, me neither. We should send this postcard to Elliot to see what he can dig up for us. Analyze Postcard Message. Elliot: Nice trying to stump me, , but that code on the postcard sent to the victim was a piece of cake. Elliot: I plugged in the numbers written on the card, and it brought me to the MGRS in, like, seconds. Carmen: The MGRS? Elliot: MGRS stands for Military Grid Reference System. It’s the geocoordinate standard used by militaries mapping out the entire earth. Elliot: And these coordinates lead to the exact point where you found the victim dead… the village square. Carmen: So, whoever sent him this postcard is definitely the killer! Good job, kid! Elliot: That’s not all… the last four digits on the card indicate a time, precisely eight o’clock at night, in military time. Elliot: Since only the military uses this style it means your killer has military training. Carmen: Our killer knew exactly what they were doing! Let’s go find them, , before they march someone else to their death! Autopsy Victim's Body. Angela: Guten tag, ! This is quite the high-profile case. How exciting! Carmen: Interesting definition of exciting… so what have you got for us? Angela: As you know, the victim was vertically impaled on the puppet pole, sustaining fatal wounds to his vital organs. Angela: That puppet pole is your murder weapon! Angela: Fun fact: victims of longitudinal impalement can survive up to eight days depending on the insertion angle of the object. Carmen: That does not sound like fun… at all. Angela: Don’t worry. Your victim died instantly. He was first knocked out by a heavy object creating the wound on his head. Angela: I found some drops in the victim’s head wound. The analysis showed it was beer. Your victim was apparently hit with a heavy beer mug. Carmen: So we can say our killer drinks beer! Nice work, Angela! Fast and efficient. Angela: As a mother of triplets, that’s the only way to be. Carmen: Come on, ! We’ll give the killer a reason to drink once we find them! Later, back at headquarters… Carmen: Wow, this case is such a kuddelmuddel! Carmen: Alright, , let’s see if we can make sense of it. Prodigal son comes home after making it big in the movies. Carmen: Says he’s got a doozy of a secret to share but ends up dead before revealing it. Carmen: Gunther’s just interested in sausages, while Gretl is kummerspecking over the death of her prince charming… whatever that means. Carmen: And the mayor is sad to have lost her golden boy. We’re going to have to dig deeper if we want to solve this mystery. Elliot: Hey, , don’t know if you’re interested, but I’ve got some info for you… I know where the killer was before the murder. Carmen: What?!
