The Art of Murder/Transcript

Jones: , even though the earthquake destroyed a large part of the Financial Center, it appears the art world is still thriving!

Gloria: You mean the show we put on for the Chief's birthday, Jones? Ramirez jumping out of a cake was definitely artistic!

Jones: That is NOT what I was talking about! I'm trying very hard to forget about that party!

Jones: No, I meant tonight's performance by Meera Kat, featuring "real lava"! , there's nothing that girl wouldn't do for a few "likes" on social media!

Gloria: Ah yes, Meera Kat. Infamous for turning the earthquake into "art", with little regard for the victims. And, apparently, people are willing to pay good money to see her live!

Gloria: What, you want to go and see her performance, ? Are you serious?

Gloria: Oh, right, you want to make sure she's not going to put people in danger! Considering she's set up her stage directly next to lava, it's a legitimate concern! Let's go!

Chapter 1
Investigate Performance Area.

Gloria: What the heck! , I've seen some weird things on this job, but this is in a league of its own!

Gloria: We know Meera was planning some crazy stunt with "real lava"... But surely, she didn't deliberately burn herself into a crisp?

Gloria: You're right, , there's a wound on Meera's head... Someone knocked her out before locking her in that cage! This was definitely murder!

Gloria: It looks like Meera's found her match when it comes to disturbing ideas! They probably wanted tonight's audience to see her like this... it's lucky we got here first!

Gloria: Meanwhile, we must send the remains to Martine... and hope she'll find some evidence the lava didn't destroy! What else do we have?

Gloria: Sharp eye! That wrecked car door has a message scratched into it: "BURN IN HELL, MEERA!"

Gloria: This was no doubt left here by her killer. We'd better collect a sample of that substance in the grooves, I agree!

Gloria: And you want to examine that strange contraption, too? Looks like something from a sci-fi movie! But if you think you can turn it on by cracking that password, give it a go!

Gloria: , the heat is on: we must find out who sent Meera to her fiery death!

Examine Strange Machine.

Gloria: , you've unlocked this strange machine, and now the screen says, "Please Insert Lava"! Who would use this thing?

Gloria: You're right, we know a scientist studying lava, Ruby Armstrong! You interrogated her when Dr Gibbs was murdered!

Gloria: And if Ruby's machine is here, she could've witnessed the murder! That's what I call a hot lead, ! Let's find her!

Ask Ruby if she witnessed the murder.

Examine Killer's Message.

Autopsy Victim's Body.
