Overview

 * 1) The evidence for the investigation is located in a secure police lot outside the police station. Jensen should recover all of them. There is further evidence inside a secure safe.
 * 2) Detective Wagner was on the case and should have more information. Jensen should confront him.
 * 3) Captain Penn was on the case and should have more information. Jensen should investigate the computer in his office at the police station.

Walkthrough
Jensen should first meet with Detective Chase, who has retired and is now working as a security guard in Brooklyn Courts, one of the apartment complexes in Detroit. Chase recognizes Jensen right away and has no problems giving him his leads, but has to be convinced to give up the code to the security locker safe as well.

Jensen can find the locker in the alley beside the police station. There are several ebooks in the lot that must be read to complete the quest, containing information on the attackers as well as Megan's autopsy. The safe has a level 3 terminal on it and contains a diary entry as well as Megan's bracelet. (The safe code is 7196)

The rest of the quest takes place in the police station. Detective Wagner is in the lobby and must be convinced - if the player has CASIE augs, Jensen can intimidate Wagner to give up what he knows right away. If the player does not have the CASIE aug, there is an incriminating email on Wagner's computer (on the 3rd floor) that the player can use to convince him to give up the information.

Captain Penn's office is on the second floor, and both his office door and computer must be hacked. Alternative route through ventilation system is also possible. Jensen must read his emails to advance.

Once the player has completed the objectives, Jensen should meet with Cassandra Reed again, who is in the lobby of Jensen's apartment complex. If Jensen has Megan's bracelet, he can give that to Cassandra as well, to ease her sorrows or the user can keep the bracelet and unlock the Sentimental Value achievement/Trophy. This completes the quest.
