The Death of Philibert Aspairt was a virtual representation of one of Arno Dorian's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.

Clues

Catacombs

• Bible - A well-worn Bible. It is covered in blood and stamped by a local convent, the Couvent des Filles de l'Efant Jésus: 84 Rue de Seve.
• Crate of Chartreuse - A crate filled with shattered bottles of Chartreuse and surrounded by dirt. It looks to have been buried for several years. The address of a local tavern is carved on the side. 5 Rue de Sève. Maybe the barkeep could point me to who the owner is.
• Loose beads - A few scattered beads in the dirt. Look to be made of rosewood.
• Old satchel - A first aid kit. The address to the local apothecary is stitched inside: 99 Avenue de Breteuil.
• Set of keys - A set of keys hooked onto a key ring.
• Worn shovel - A heavily-used shovel with a very dull blade. The shaft bears a maker's mark and is cracked down the middle. It has been reinforced with cloth. Someone has kept this shovel for a long time.

Apothecary Stand

• Statement of the apothecary - Adrien Piet (victim's boss): Philibert assisted an apothecary named Adrien Piet a few days ago who sent him to a local merchant at 9 Avenue de Saxe. Piet does not seem happy with the late delivery.

Convent

• Bottles of Chartreuse - The bottles are covered in a light film of dirt.
• Stack of Bibles - A large stack of Bibles. The inset bears the same stamp as the Bible from the crime scene.
• The blood of Christ - A glass containing dark, red liquid. According to the sister, it is the blood of Christ.
• Statement of the nun - Sister Sorel (nun): Piercing eyes and little patience. She admits the Bible I found next to Philibert belongs to the Couvent des Filles de l'Enfant Jésus, though they give them out for free. She certainly does not like me asking about the Chartreuse.

Graveyard

• Half buried coffin - A freshly built coffin. Philibert would easily fit inside.
• Shovel - A brand new shovel. It has barely been used. A little odd, considering its owner is a gravedigger.
• Small wooden cross - A wooden cross. Looks to be made of the same rosewood as the beads at the crime scene.
• Worn Bible - Another stamped Bible. I am not surprised he is a man of faith.
• Statement of the gravedigger - Noel Pommier (the gravedigger): Seems a little off. Claims he is missing some tools and that someone recently broke into the catacombs. Says he found a rosewood cross that matches the beads found next to Philibert. Strong chance the shovel is his.

Merchant Stall

• New shovels - These shovels look brand new, unused. They bear the same maker's mark as the one found at the crime scene.
• Supplies - A variety of tonics, tools, and supplies. A very well stocked merchant.
• Statement of the merchant - Guillaume Pinard: It seems Philibert never reached the merchant. What is interesting is Pinard's curiosity for the Chartreuse I found in the catacombs. Seems the Carthusian monks make it and the Carthusian nuns of Couvent des Filles de l'Enfant Jésus are notorious for hiding it.

Tavern

• Bottles of Chartreuse - A few bottles of Chartreuse. They emit a faint green glow.
• Bottles of wine and liquor - Various wines and spirits. Well stocked.
• Statement of Antoine Denis - Antoine Denis: This drunk is pretty much useless. An expert at rambling.
• Statement of Catherine Doyère - Catherine Doyère: She says Philibert bought a few rounds for everyone in the bar last night. Claims he was going on about his sister, even though she thought he was an orphan.
• Statement of Navarre Cavery - Navarre Cavery: The lute player seems more concerned with playing for no one in particular than sharing information on Philibert.
• Statement of the barkeep - Jérôme Tolbert (barkeep): Philibert was a drunk, and was cut off by the bartender last night. He is in plenty of debt and with no shortage of enemies. Philibert promised to pay the bartender off with Chartreuse to clear his tab. An odd method of payment.

Conclusion

Culprit

The murderer was Sister Sorel, the Carthusian nun from Couvent des Filles de l'Enfant Jésus. Case Summary Philibet Aspairt was in over his head with debt. He had spent all his earnings gambling and building up a tab at the local tavern. One night, in a drunken haze, he wandered straight into the Paris catacombs. He was lucky enough to stumble upon a large stash of precious Chartreuse. The Chartreuse was made by Carthusian monks and said to be hidden by the nuns of the convent Couvent des Filles de l'Enfant Jésus. Seeing an easy way to clear his debts, Philibert attempted to steal as much Chartreuse as he could carry. He had not accounted for the fact that Sister Sorel, who was charged with hiding the cherished elixir, wouldn't take too kindly to thievery. She kept a watchful eye of the catacombs. She also politely gave Philibert a warning that he ignored. When Philibert once again returned for more Chartreuse, he was met with a shovel to the head. Sister Sorel ensured Philibert would remain in the catacombs for the rest of his days.
