[edit] Walkthrough
Depending on the results of the autopsy, this quest can unfold quite differently. During Anatomy of a Crime, Geralt and Shani can end up implicating Kalkstein, Ramsmeat or Azar Javed equally easily.
If they conclude that Ramsmeat is the murderer, then Geralt never makes that leap of logic that tells him that Azar is impersonating Detective Raymond, and so he continues to trust the P.I. So when Maarloeve tells him to kill Ramsmeat, our hero does just that. Then the focus switches to Kalkstein as suspect number one. This too, on the detective's word alone.
If Shani and Geralt conclude that Kalkstein is the murderer, Raymond nevertheless insists on having Ramsmeat killed, and in this case it's really a cold-blooded murder on the part of the witcher as the fight is totally unprovoked, but there is no other way to advance the plat at that point. To add unsult to injury, Ramsmeat's death does not even get recorded as part of this quest if this avenue is followed. (It does show up as part of Vizima Confidential)
Only if the autopsy (rightly) implicates Javed does Ramsmeat get off without so much as a scratch.
[edit] Phases
[edit] Clues
The evidence indicates there is some sort of connection between Ramsmeat and Azar Javed. I will talk to the bandit and try to learn more I have to speak to Ramsmeat about his dealings with Azar.
[edit] Innocent / Guilty
- Autopsy implicated Azar: The evidence suggests that Ramsmeat is innocent. I should speak with him. I'll tell Ramsmeat I've found proof of his innocence. or
- Autopsy implicated Ramsmeat: Ramsmeat is working with Azar - I'm certain now. I need to speak to him. Ramsmeat is guilty. I need to pressure him a bit.
[edit] Innocent / The Confrontation and The Fight
- Autopsy implicated Azar: I told Ramsmeat that the evidence I gathered proves him innocent. I earned his gratitude and gained a useful piece of information about Azar Javed. I earned the gratitude of the local kingpin and gained interesting information about Azar. or
- Autopsy implicated Ramsmeat:
[edit] The Confrontation
Ramsmeat is working together with Azar - I'm sure of it now. But confronting him without preparation, in his own den would not be wise. I will wait for a better opportunity to confront Ramsmeat.
[edit] The Fight
Ramsmeat finally lost his temper, he could no longer ignore my suspicions. It could end in one way only - in a fight. Dead men tell no tales.
