After an attack was reported at a Parisian quay, Hugo and the player headed there to retrieve the dead body of French novelist Emilie Bouton, who was found with a stab wound in her chest. After gaining enough evidence from a lab analysis, a witness testimony, and a left-behind clue, the team arrested the victim's editor, Raymond Aymé, for the murder.
