Upon Reflection L.A. Noire Mission Synopsis
While on patrol through the streets, Officers Cole Phelps and his partner, Ralph Dunn, receive a call from the head of the police department, which Dunn answers immediately. The dispatcher informs them of a shooting down the street, with Unit 16 William requesting uniform assistance for an evidence search. Dunn responds, letting the dispatcher know they are en route, and Cole begins driving towards the location.
As they arrive, a body is being placed in a coroner’s vehicle and drives off. A man approaches, introducing himself as Homicide Detective Floyd Rose and the man with him is Detective Rusty Galloway. Rose asks if they’re his backup. Cole responds, introducing himself and Dunn from the Wilshire Police Station, then Floyd briefs them on the situation. The victim was a black male named Scooter Peyton, who was shot down the alleyway and is on the way to Central Morgue. A witness claims a tall white guy shot the victim twice in the head, then tossed his weapon before fleeing the scene. Floyd leaves finding the gun up to Phelps and Dunn, feeling the victim is a lowlife and ultimately, without admitting it, pawns off the dirty work for the patrolmen.
Upon arriving at Central Guns, the storekeeper states that the gun is a Smith & Wesson Model 27, .357 Magnum with nickel plating and pearl grips. He also explains the he knows the details of the gun, because he sold it and that they’re only available through special order. The storekeeper then shows his order book to the officers. Locate the gun in the order book with serial number S71893 to discover that it was sold to Errol Schroeder, who lives at 203 South Gless Street.
Upon arriving at the complex, Phelps checks the interior to find out Schroeder’s apartment number and makes his way up the stairs. The two knock on the door and Schroeder answers, with a cocky attitude. They ask if he owns a Smith & Wesson Model 27 with nickel plating and pearl grips, to which Schroeder agrees. Phelps then informs him of Scooter’s murder, to which Schroeder gruffly responds with a dull sense of surprise. He heads to his drawer to verify that his gun is there, but finds it missing, prompting Phelps to make an arrest. Schroeder then punches Officer Dunn to the floor and brawls with Phelps, ultimately leading to his own defeat as he is cuffed on the floor.
After dealing with Schroeder, investigate the apartment. There are several useless items, but in the dresser you will find a green notebook. Opening the notebook reveals a list of names, one of which is that of Detective Floyd Rose, whom they had just met earlier at the crime scene. Dunn tells Phelps to call it in and leave the book where he found it. Phelps agrees, placing the notebook on top of the dresser.
Buyer Beware L.A Noire Mission Synopsis
While patrolling the streets, Officer Cole Phelps hears multiple gunshots and runs toward the sound. He shows up to the scene of a shooting where he discovers Everett Gage dead on the sidewalk in front of his own store, Nunn Bush Shoes, and learns the identity of Edgar Kalou from the store clerk, Clovis Galletta. He also finds .32 ACP shell casings, and a .32 ACP FN Browning 1922 pistol on the scene. Phelps and Officer Ralph Dunn go to Hartfield’s Jewelry Store to locate their suspect, after confirming he is the owner of the handgun. Upon entering, they’re greeted by Kalou who at first pretends to be someone else entirely, claiming Mr. Kalou is sleeping in the back, and then attempts an escape. Phelps chases him through the store room and out the back door, eventually catching him by firing a shot from his service revolver into the air.
