Case 8.1.4: Die Detective

1

DECRYPTED MESSAGE

Your new job will make use of our mole within the police force. Detective Kai has shut down yet another operation of ours.

I've deemed it necessary to erase him from this earth. The mole will tell Kai he has a lead on us. We will have a trap set up to kill Kai when he goes to investigate us.

 

- Xinshen

 

Feng: Killing police... jeez, I'm not sure about this... The Triad is scarier than I thought.

 

I can't kill a police officer... that would undermine my entire purpose. Nothing is a simple choice... If I don't kill, will I be killed?

 

The most difficult of choices reveal our true character. Will you kill your own kind? Will you become the darkest version of yourself?

 

What to do?

2

I need to come up with a way to save Detective Kai.

 

Think of a Plan

 

3

I don't think I should tell Feng... He's a friend, but he never disobeys Xinshen.

 

Think of a Plan

 

4

I just can't think of anything that'll save me if I'm caught warning Kai to run...

 

Think of a Plan

 

5

Now I understand why you turned back, Natalie...

 

Think of a Plan

 

6

I should definitely tell him to run for his life...

 

What to do?

 

Plan: If I See Kai First

 

Plan: If I Don't See Kai

 

7

He's certainly a dead man... I'd hate to think this comes down to luck.

 

What to do?

 

Plan: If I See Kai First

 

Plan: If I Don't See Kai

 

8

I cannot do this because then when Kai survives... I will be under massive suspicion.

 

What to do?

 

Plan: If I See Kai First

 

Plan: If I Don't See Kai

 

9

The mole will confirm any changes in orders with Xinshen... this will also get me killed.

 

What to do?

 

Plan: If I See Kai First

 

Plan: If I Don't See Kai

 

10

Yeah, I'll definitely need to do that. I should also tell him to come up with a reason how he uncovered the mole.

 

What to do?

 

Plan: If I Don't See Kai

 

11

He should fire his gun and run off to simulate a gun fight. This could be a bad idea, I'm not sure.

 

What to do?

 

Plan: If I Don't See Kai

 

12

This would be most convincing, but then I could be deemed a failure and cut off entirely...

 

What to do?

 

Plan: If I Don't See Kai

 

13

We need to be far apart so he doesn't notice Kai if I get to him first. This gives Kai a 50/50 chance to live.

 

What to do?

 

Plan: If I Don't See Kai

 

14

I could miss Kai if I watch Feng, and if Feng sees him first he will shoot...

 

What to do?

 

Plan: If I See Kai First

 

15

Feng is not an idiot; he might see what I am trying to do.

 

What to do?

 

Plan: If I See Kai First

 

16

How can I live with that... I already have Natalie's blood on my hands.

 

What to do?

 

Plan: If I See Kai First

 

17

I think this is one of those days. Sometimes, there's no 100% plan...

 

What to do?

 

Plan: If I See Kai First

Move out... the time has come.

 

- Xinshen

 

Oh good, thank god, I can see Kai coming... One of these days, this stress is going to kill me...

 

Detective Kai: Who is that...?

Alex: Kai... you're lucky you found me first. Leave now, this is a trap.

Detective Kai: This was all a set-up? Who are you...? Wait, I know who you are.

Alex: You know... you and I... we aren't so different.

Detective Kai: You're the one I have been looking for this whole time... you've been impossible to trace...

Alex: You have to leave exactly the same way you came, or they'll find you.

My superior is a very scary man, Kai...

Detective Kai: Why did he save my life?

 

Perfect, now as far as I'm concerned, Kai never showed up...

 

Connecting the Dots...

You've saved Kai, there's still light in you. After all the death, all the darkness, a shining light has emerged. Well done, detective.
