	~~==Clues==~~
	~~===Garden===~~
	*'''Women's body''' - Woman, Valérie Duclos, in her 40s. Extremely well dressed in the old fashion of the monarchy. Face contorted into a horrible expression. No indication of physical violence.
	*'''Flower garden''' - A maintained garden with various flowers: Foxgloves, Belladonna and others that are fatal when ingested.
	*'''Overturned cup''' - Porcelain cup with Japanese-style design. Appears to have held hot chocolate.
	*'''Ring''' - Woman's ring discarded in shrubbery. Upon close inspection, one pearl is revealed to be a removable stopper for a tiny hidden vial. The vial is empty save for a drop of sticky, clear, odorless liquid.
	*'''Statement of Amélie Monvoisin''' - Amélie Monvoisin (sister of victim): Dressed nicely, but not expensively. Identifies victim as Valérie Duclos. Victim insulted everyone at the party. Claims victim threatened Georges with denunciation to {{Wiki\|Committee of Public Safety}}.

	~~===Dining Room===~~
	*'''Letter to Pierre''' - A note, apparently to Pierre from his mother, Valérie, left on a table:

	:: "My son, I write to caution and admonish you as to your conduct. I appreciate that since the death of your father, you have enjoyed considerable financial freedom due to his foolishly generous bequest as regards yourself (whereas I have had to made do with a pittance). Your Aunt Amélie recently discovered a document that makes it quite clear that it is I that should have obtained control of my family's fortune upon the death of your father, despite the ludicrous claims of our doddering "executor" who squanders our money in his foolish business dealings in the Orient.
	:: You simply must quell your extravagances--especially in regards to the vulture-liked women you consort with--in view of the fact that I will shortly obtain control of the entire inheritance. Whatever debts you have incurred with thereupon be yours and yours only.
	:: Don't delude yourself that Amélie will come to your rescue, despite the fact that you have been foolishly generous to her. The money comes to me. She will have a small maintenance and can continue to wear Mother's worthless jewelry. She does not understand the value of money, and the less of it the better for her."

	*'''Silver pot''' - Ornate silver pot on tray with four porcelain cups, each bears a Japanese-style design. One cup full of cold cocoa; others contain dregs.
	*'''Snuffbox''' - An elegant Japanese snuffbox, inscribed with the name: G. Villiers-Segonzac.
	*'''Statement of Georges Villiers-Segonzac''' - Georges Villiers-Segonzac (family friend): Elderly, impeccably dressed. Admits having been threatened by victim; claims this was not unusual. Amélie handed him the hot chocolate to take to Valérie. Valérie died shortly after. Took pains to call Lucille a "schemer".
	*'''Statement of Pierre Duclos''' - Pierre Duclos (victim's son): Young man, carries himself with assurance. Richly dressed. Inherited majority of father's estate. Idea of hot chocolate for his mother was his. Claims he gave Lucille a cup to take to Valérie, but Amélie interrupted and took the cup away, ostensibly because Lucille's presence would only further anger Valérie. Noted that he is now free to marry Lucille.

	~~===Kitchen===~~
	*'''Kitchen supplies''' - A large earthenware jug. Remains of a thick cocoa paste. Also, a jar containing finely-mitted cocoa powder along with empty milk jug and urn of sugar.
	*'''Mortar and pestle''' - A large stoneware pestle and mortar, used for the crushing of herbs from the garden.
	*'''Statement of the maid''' - Maid: Elderly. Did not care for victim, but remembers victim's husband fondly. Vouches for Georges' character and underscored that the victim often "lorded it over" Pierre and Amélie. Claimed that Amélie hasn't a penny to her name.

	~~===Study===~~
	*'''Book: Paris Society''' - "Notable events in Paris Society, vol XI"

	~~:: A page is marked detailing the La Voisin poisonings of the previous century. It seems one Catherine Deshayes la Voisin and her daughter, Marguerite Monvoisin were involved.~~
	*'''Commonplace book''' - An old book bearing the name La Voisin on the inside cover. A marked passage reads:

He left the sum to be managed by his friend Georges Villiers-Segonzac, with the bulk of the estate to go to your son, Pierre. We discussed the matter over cognac, and he seemed most reasonable.

	:: Regardless, the document appears to be genuine and gives you an undisputable claim to the assets.

As long as M. Villiers-Segonzac is active, your husband's will dictates that he, and not yourself, stands as the one who controls the fortune.

The worst was when she announced she planned to denounce Georges to the Committee of Public Safety!''

	*'''Georges Villiers-Segonzac (Duclos family friend):''' ''Yes, she threatened me, she made baseless threats at every dinner party. But she was getting angrier and angrier, so I repaired to the terrace with my brandy. On my way back down I encountered Amélie. She sent me out to the garden to calm her sister with some hot chocolate.

	*'''Pierre Duclos (the victim's son):''' ''My mother is often difficult, and she was particularly nasty this evening. I suspect it had to do with a letter she received earlier in the day. In any case, she became angrier and angrier until she finally stormed out into the garden. I told Lucille to take her a calming cup of hot chocolate, but Aunt Amélie, fearing Lucille would upset mother even further, took the cup away. Mother's always been unhappy that I inherited most of Father's wealth, and she often accused Lucille of wanting only my money. But that's all over now, isn't it? Lucille and I can marry at last!''

		:: ---

		:: "My son, I write to caution and admonish you as to your conduct. I appreciate that since the death of your father, you have enjoyed considerable financial freedom due to his foolishly generous bequest as regards yourself (whereas I have had to made do with a pittance).

	'''New Orleans''' was a city located in southeastern {{Wiki\|Louisiana}}, a critical trade route that linked the {{Wiki\|Mississippi River}} and the {{Wiki\|Gulf of Mexico}}. Founded in 1718, it immediately became an important economical, political and cultural center for trade and commerce.

	~~==History==~~
	In 1765, French rule over New Orleans ended and the city was officially handed over to the Spanish. During this time, the French governor of New Orleans, [[Jean-Jacques Blaise d'Abbadie]], made a deal with the [[Templars\|Templar]] [[Rafael Joaquín de Ferrer]] to remain as governor provided he oversaw the hand-over of the colony to the Templars. However, he was assassinated inside his mansion by the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Aveline de Grandpré]] following a meeting with de Ferrer.<ref name="AC3L">''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]''</ref>

	The Templar Order used this transfer of the colony to gain access to the highest levels of government and extend their operations.<ref name="ACE">''[[Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia]]''</ref> After setting up a covert slave trafficking operation, the Templars worked with French and Spanish officials in diverting slaves and vagrants from New Orleans to a work camp in Mexico to excavate [[First Civilization]] ruins in search of an artifact known as the [[Prophecy Disk]].<ref name="AC3L"/>

	The following year, Spanish governor [[Antonio de Ulloa]] arrived in the city but brought with him a small amount of soldiers and did not raise the Spanish flag over the city. Two years later, he applied rigid trade laws and restrictions within the colony to better serve the Templar Order and secretly plotted to transport slaves and workers to a covert Templar mission based in Mexico. In response, French Creoles rebelled against his regime, forcing de Ulloa to take shelter in {{Wiki\|La Balize}} outside the city.<ref name="Wikipedia">''Wikipedia:'' Louisiana Rebellion of 1768</ref>

	During this time, the [[Mentor]] of the Assassins, [[Agaté]], ordered Aveline to assassinate de Ulloa. Aveline drew the governor out of La Balize and ambushed his carriage.

	Aveline agreed, and traveled to {{Wiki\|Saint Louis Cathedral}} where she was inducted into the Templar Order by Madeleine.

She attempted to persuade Aveline that her work was for the benefit of humanity, but Aveline refused to serve Madeleine and assassinated her.<ref name="AC3L"/>
