Part 15: Episode 2, Investigation: An Empty Office



Maya's on a tight deadline to find a better option for a lawyer than us, so let's head over to their office first.



Note how since we haven't been there, we just get a big "?" for the location preview, with a fancy static effect.

Music: Silence



Fancy.



(She couldn't say when he'd be back.)

Whelp, guess Maya's out of luck then. I knew we should have gone down the location list in order!



(Not to mention run an office like this.)

(I guess I'll just have to come back later.)



We're still given free reign to snoop around, so let's get that out of the way now while we're here.



I thought I was clicking on the lamp here, but...



Hmm... Funny... They don't look like they've ever been read.

Apparently the highlight was for the bookshelf behind the lamp instead.



How about the desk?

A solid mahogany desk.

The wood's been polished to a deep luster.

Bo-ring.



Maybe this painting will induce a better comment.

That painting has been bugging me ever since I stepped in here.

The oil paint is so thick it's practically giving me a stuffed nose.

I'm sure the price is nothing to sneeze at either, for that matter.

Is that a thing? I guess I don't hang out enough around expensive oil paintings to know.



An expensive potted plant.

No idea what kind of plant it is, but it's probably the most expensive one available.

No idea here, either.



A table for clients.

Hmm... an elegant ebony case, and if I'm not mistaken, that lighter's made of solid gold.

Even I can tell someone here's got money to burn.

If you're interested, I found a solid gold lighter online for $18,000. Can't imagine it's all that durable, either.



Nothing really to do here, so I guess we were supposed to head over to the crime scene first after all. Though I suppose we could head back to the Detention Center to give Maya the bad news. Take your pick. Your punishment for choosing incorrectly is a short update today, sorry! I'll make it up by posting the next one tomorrow.
