The early morning tranquility surrounding Port-a-Lucine's Asylum comes to an abrupt end with a single gunshot, as the Gendarmerie Nationale storms one of the wings, led there by three unusually notable witnesses. After an exhaustive search of the cells, a shaken woman is escorted out into the light of day, and before long they're joined in their efforts by none other than the Great Detective himself. Another gunshot bookends the day's events, and rumor spreads of not one but multiple bodies discovered in the nearby forest.
