Nosy journalist needs a hot topic.
"I'm not into celebrities so when Pola asked to investigate Marrion Naples, I was skeptical. But cash is cash."
Solution[]
Pola Chapelle: You heard about Marrion Naples, haven't you? A celebrity from a rich family. I was working on a routine article about her, but I noticed something odd.
Detective: I'm not a fan of celebrity gossip. Pola. Where's the case?
Pola Chapelle: She's leaving home at odd hours, taking long routes to avoid being followed. Her husband never notices a thing, but I'm sure she's up to something. Come on, we'll talk on the way!
Witnesses[]
Detective: I know that it's your job to chase after scandals, but I still don't see a case for me. I don't do divorces.
Pola Chapelle: Well, aren't you a romantic! But I'm not talking about a divorce, I'm talking about husband having a life insurance and wife being the benefactor. So could you be a dear and keep an eye on miss Naples?
Pola Chapelle: And what if it's something more? The divorce would ruin both parties, the husband has a life insurance, and Naples isn't exactly a role model.
Detective: Right, right. I'll shadow her. Just to check if your suspicions are correct.

If you fail:
Detective: Naples sure doesn't want to be found. And I have second thoughts about delving so deep in her private life.
If you win:
Detective: Naples was in the financial district, and now is headed for a more seedy part of town. Too seedy for my comfort. I better tell Pola.
City search: What's a Pretty Girl Like You Doing In a Place Like This?[]
Pola Chapelle: I knew you'd find something! I'll try to check what Naples did in the financial district.
Detective: And I'll keep an eye on her.
The place Marrion is heading is:
- not more than 2 from railways
- more than 1 from cafés
- more than 1 from water
- not less than 3 from fast foods
- more than 1 from railways
- On the map there are 2 cafés
If you fail:
Detective: Where... where did she went? Oh no. Pola will be upset.
If you win:
Detective: The Pink Flamingo. Doesn't look like a nice place for a lady.
Pola Chapelle: Luckily, you're not a lady. And I found this: Naples withdrew a large sum of money from her personal account. Not the joint marital one, mind you. Detective: You know which buttons to push, don't you? All right, I need to get inside.
Pola Chapelle: And I found this: Naples withdrew a large sum of money from her personal account. Not the joint marital one. Detective: Place for a lady or not, I'm going in.
Crime scene search: Tète-à-Tète[]
Pola Chapelle: I'm going to wait by the back entrance. Maybe I'll notice something you won't.
When you enter the next room:
Detective: Naples is somewhere in the back of the club. Probably somewhere private.
If you enter the room west of office:
Marrion Naples: I want it done discreetly. Today would be perfect. After five o'clock.
???: That'll cost you.
Marrion Naples: I have prepared a considerable sum. Here, count it.
If you enter the room south of storage:
Marrion Naples: Wait... did you hear that?
???: I think someone might be eavesdropping. We need to leave, now.
If you enter storage:
Detective: Looks like Naples was meeting someone, but they left in a hurry when they heard me coming.
Detective: I should go after them... but first, I need some evidence telling me what were they talking about.
If you fail:
Detective: This is taking too long! They're gone, and I can't find a thing. What now?
If you win:
Detective: Hmmm, they left a picture behind. It's Marrion's husband... with his face crossed.
Pola Chapelle: Hey! Waiting outside the back door was a good idea after all. I got a glimpse at the man who was talking with Naples. A shady looking type.
Detective: And I found this photo. We need to reach Marrion's husband.
Suspect identification: A Package for Mr. Naples[]
Detective: This is the place where Mr. Naples works.
Pola Chapelle: And I think I saw the shady man somewhere in the crowd. But I can't seem to find him now.
Detective: I have a bad feeling about this. Tell me how he looks like. I'll find him, and you call the police.

If you fail:
Detective: Damn. Where did he go. Pola, did you see him?
Pola Chapelle: No. And I think Mr. Naples left the building. The police are on their way, but without a tail on the shady type, they might arrive too late.
If you win:
Lucy Gordon: I got a call from Miss Chapelle. What's the emergency?
Detective: That man over there. He's got a gun. I'm sure he was paid by Marrion Naples to kill her husband.
Lucy Gordon: I'm surprised you called me, tough guy. I'll handle it from here.
Lucy Gordon: It's good that you called me. I'll handle it from here.
Finale[]
If you fail:
Pola Chapelle: It's a pity we lost Naples. I feel it would make a great article.
Detective: There's always a next time, Pola. You need to wait for your chance.
If you win:
Pola Chapelle: I hope my hero heard the good news! Mrs. Naples and the hitman were arrested by the police, and Mr. Naples is safe.
Detective: I got to be the hero, and you were the first to cover the story. I assume a promotion is on it's way?
Pola Chapelle: What can I say? Everyone got what they deserved. Speaking of which, maybe you'd like to grab a coffee someday?Pola Chapelle: You might consider yourself a hero. Mrs. Naples and the hitman were arrested by the police, and Mr. Naples is safe.
Detective: I got to be the hero, and you were the first to cover the story. I assume a promotion is on it's way?
Pola Chapelle: Everyone got what they deserved. Speaking of which, how about we go shopping someday?
