The Final Note
During a live televised talent show finale, the head judge is found dead in his private studio. The investigation focuses on professional relationships, financial pressures, and the circumstances of the death.
Initial Crime Scene
The sharp scent of ozone and lemon polish cuts through the dry air as you step into the judge's private lounge. A low, distant thump of bass from the main stage pulses against the soundproofing. Your eyes adjust to the low light, catching the glittering fracture of a cracked tablet screen on the floor, the deep velvet of a chair, and the polished darkness of a mahogany table.
Crime Scene Environment
Lighting is low and controlled, creating deep shadows. The air is dry and cool, maintained at a stable humidity. Acoustic density is high, with sounds from the main stage reduced to a muffled, constant rumble.
Investigation Constraints
Modern broadcast studio equipment (lights, cameras, mixing boards), personal smartphones, encrypted messaging apps, social media platforms, digital audio workstations, security keycard systems, and basic forensic tools (luminol, UV lights). No sci-fi or cyberpunk implants.
