WALKTHROUGH

Upon Reflection

The Patrol Desk serves as a tutorial to the game. These first four cases are rather short compared to bigger cases that come along. Your partner for this desk is officer Ralph Dunn.

You'll be looking at the murder scene of one Mr. Rose. You can examine the blood stains, but the main objective is to find the murder weapon. Swing around to the left side of the alley to discover a drain pipe. Climb this pipe and you'll land on the roof. Just a few steps away is the murder weapon, a revolver with serial number and all.

Talk to Dunn and he'll inform you of a gun store nearby. Get back into your squad car and visit this store. The shop owner will know the gun, and give you the registry to cross check the serial number. You'll learn that the gun belongs to a man named Schroeder who knew Rose; the gun registry also has his home address.

 Ride to Schroder's apartment and inspect the mail boxes to find his room. Bust into his place and he will sock Dunn cold. Take down the suspect in a fist fight and examine his dresser drawer to find a notebook with Rose's name. Dunn will tell you to leave it, ending the case.

Armed and Dangerous

You'll get a call about an armed robbery in progress. You'll be armed with a shotgun, but can also switch to your trusty pistol in a pinch. First kill the robbers in the street that attempt to take cover behind their cars. One clean shot with your shotgun should kill each.

Next move towards the bank's entrance and take cover. Pop out of cover and kill the three criminals on the ground floor, followed with the few up on the second level. Dunn will also take out an enemy or two and aid with suppressant fire.

Warrants Outstanding

You'll be chasing after a crook from Dunn's past that's skipped his parole. Chase him through the street and up to the roof tops. Don't get too close while you're both climbing; if you are near a suspect while ascending, they will automatically shove you down.

On the roofs, you'll get into a fist fight. Like most brawls in the game, block the enemies attacks and come in with a strong counter punch. Lay in a grapple or a finisher to end the case for good.

Buyer Beware

This will be the first full crime scene investigation case. You'll discover a Mr. Gage dead at the scene. First explore the victim's jacket to find a layaway voucher. Also look into the trash bin to discover the murder weapon.

The gun's serial number is in tact and there is a gun store nearby that has more information. Traveling to Eagleson's guns will reveal that a Mr. Kalou had brought in the gun for cleaning.

There will be one witness to question, the store clerk. As this desk is still a tutorial it will freely point out when she is lying, telling the full truth, and hold back information. Call out her lies and doubts when promoted.

Both the witness and the gun will point to Kalou. Travel to his jewelry store and ask the man at the counter to get his boss. It turns out however that this man is Kalou, and he will dash off. Take chase and fire your gun once inside a long alley way.

You'll now be taken into the interrogation room to get a confession from Kalou. Doubt his intentions and use the witness testimony to put him behind bars.
