A Brave New World

'A Brave New World''' (Case #52) is the fifty-second case of the game and the first in Airport district.

Case Background
The victim was an old man called Stuart Huckabee. The victim was Stuart’s sister, Susan Huckabee.

Susan said that she was trying to protect her family. Stuart was recently obsessed with proving about the fact that a secret society called the Crimson Order killed Pip Huckabee 400 years ago. Susan said that was a secret which was meant to stay in the Huckabee family and not get spoiled. Susan begged Stuart to stop his researches, but he didn’t listen, and Susan started seeing Crimson Order members everywhere she goes, which she obviously considered a warning from them. The Crimson Order was threatening Susan to keep the secret or die, and since she was a mother, she couldn’t risk putting her whole family in danger, so she decided to kill Stuart before the Crimson Order kills her entire family. Susan also said that she slashed Stuart’s throat open and pulled his tongue out because she said she sent a message to the Crimson Order promising them that they wouldn’t talk more.

At the court, Susan was being sentenced for the horrific murder of her only brother, Stuart. The court agreed to reduce her sentence if she cooperated with the police forces and tell them everything she knows about the Crimson Order. Susan didn’t want to cooperate as it would get her family in danger. But the police forces promised to keep Susan’s family safe, but she said that the court doesn’t understand that nobody is safe from the Crimson Order and the only way she can protect her family is by not talking. For the murder of Stuart Huckabee and refusing to cooperate with the Grimsborough court, Susan was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Officer Jones couldn’t believe that Susan was ready to kill her own brother just to appease the Crimson Order. He said that the team knows the fact that the Crimson Order existed in 1642 and used violence, intimidation, murdering, and anything to ensure that they would stay secret and nobody reveals their secret. He was curious about if Stuart, Susan, and Jason Palms were right about the Crimson Order controlling Grimsborough.
