After concluding your investigation on Brian Wolf, you and Natalie decide to discuss the current situation. Natalie comes to the conclusion to go undercover and find out who else knows Malice and bring them in.

Natalie: The Scarlet Seal is more dangerous than I previously thought.
Talking to Natalie
3
Natalie: I agree, but I also think making the same play three times is unlikely.
Talking to Natalie
4
Natalie: You're right, we are both targets now.
Talking to Natalie
5
Natalie: We can brief them soon if you'd like.
Talking to Natalie
6
Natalie: A strange move to say the least, I don't get the feeling the Scarlet Seal and the Serpentine gang are working together.
Talking to Natalie
7
Natalie: Yes, it may have been to create an alliance or to use them to attack you.
Talking to Natalie
8
Natalie: I think Shade was very cocky, whereas Malice is very secretive.
Talking to Natalie
9
Natalie: I'm still stumped on why he decided to send an amateur to kill a homicide detective.
Talking to Natalie
10
Natalie: Apparently, Malice had tons of money to offer Brian as well, maybe he paid off the gang.
Talking to Natalie
11
Natalie: Maybe he did initially want to send the gang to kill you, but they rejected the offer?
Talking to Natalie
12
Natalie: This leads me to think he's a professional of some kind, also he may have gotten the keys from Shade... who had access to your apartment.
Talking to Natalie
14
Natalie: That's a line you can't uncross, detective. For now, it's hard to say if there's a spy in the police.
Talking to Natalie
15
Natalie: Money can be a powerful motive, but maybe he was forced to.
Talking to Natalie
16
Natalie: I couldn't ask for a better partner.
Talking to Natalie
17
Natalie: Death itself doesn't scare me, but dying without a cause does. Let's hope it doesn't come down to this though.
Talking to Natalie
18
Natalie: We can let John or Mitch do that; we need to focus on the case at hand.
Talking to Natalie
19
Natalie: The only thing I can think of would be to question the gang again.
Talking to Natalie
20
Natalie: If Brian was smarter, we wouldn't even know of Malice.
Talking to Natalie
21
Natalie: There's no way the gang willingly let this happen... Why would they throw away a source of money?
Talking to Natalie
22
Natalie: I think we can find out who he really is by going undercover.
Talking to Natalie
23
Natalie: The gang and Brian have no logical motive to kill you, it must be the Scarlet Seal.
Talking to Natalie
24
Natalie: Maybe the person who gave Brian the equipment to dump the body was another henchman.
Talking to Natalie
25
Natalie: I think a group of people would leave behind more of a trace, but we can't rule this possibility out.
Talking to Natalie
26
Natalie: Maybe the intention was to sabotage the gang by using Brian to lead an investigation back to them.
Talking to Natalie
27
Natalie: His plan could be to exploit the gang and diverge the investigation to them while attacking us... interesting.
Talking to Natalie
28
Natalie: Right, it is strange to give a letter like that to a hitman, it will only yield a lead for detectives.
Talking to Natalie
29
Natalie: Mind games, Malice knows we would doubt the gang's motive, so he gave them an identical card to cause suspicion.
Talking to Natalie
30
Natalie: This is a mystery.
31
Natalie: He could be closely tied with the boss.
32
Natalie: Without Shade, it will be harder for the Scarlet Seal to conceal murders.
33
Natalie: Wherever this road may lead, I will have your back.
