GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY: MASK*DEMASQUE'S CRIMES
---

1: "Mask*DeMasque is a master thief that first started his crime
spree 6 months ago."

2: "He's so confident that he sends his calling card before he even
commits the crime!"

3: "This was his fifth heist, and as usual, he sent a card on to
Lordly Tailor."

4: "His pattern is to always go after only the most precious art
pieces."

5: "That's why we're sure it was Mask*DeMasque, sir. It fits his
M.O. to a T!"



GUMSHOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: MASK*DEMASQUE'S CRIMES
----

At 4, present the sacred urn - your earlier discussion with Andrews
has confirmed that the appraised value of the urn is practically zero.
So, why would DeMasque, who goes after the most precious art pieces,
steal it?

Go through the long discussions now, which basically hover around the
topic of a fake DeMasque. The judge wants you to prove that the thief
at Lordly Tailor was indeed a fake, so present the security camera
photo.

There's something peculiar about this photo. When prompted, point to
the chest area of the DeMasque in picture. If you did a comparison of
the publicity photo earlier as I suggested, you'll find that the thief
in the security photo is missing a broach near the chest area. The
broach is some sort of a symbol for the thief, so if the person at
Lordly Tailor wasn't wearing one, it's likely that he's a fake.

As Godot downs his nth cup of coffee, he shows the broach in question.
Apparently, it was found behind the golden statue at the crime scene.
He goes on to reveal that Ron's fingerprints are found on the broach.
Hmm, things aren't looking good.

DeMasque's Broach now added to the records. It appears that it was
torn off some clothing. Looks like there was some sort of a struggle
at the crime scene that night.

Gumshoe's stint as a witness ends now, as Godot summons his major
weapon. Look at him!
