Assassin's Creed Unity Murder Mystery Guide

The Body Politic 

There are 7 locations to trawl through for this investigation, but thankfully, 3 of them are in a single building, so that's nice.

Location #1 - Dining Room

Clue #1 - Man's Body

Examine the man's body to begin the murder mystery.

Clue #2 - Victim's Wine Glass

Check the glass next to the body for clue number 2.

Clue #3 - Statement of Madame Hennenbert

Speak to the grieving widow to find out that the murder wasn't entirely unexpected.

Clue #4 - Statement of Antoine Gerard

Talk to Antoine to add his statement to your file.

Clue #5 - Statement of Madeleine Gerard

You're just networking like a little butterfly in here. Have a chat with Madeleine for another statement.

Clue #6 - Statement of Olivier Gidet

Collect your last statement from Olivier.

Clue #7 - Necklace

The necklace is by the window. All signs currently point to the culprit being a a portly, bespectacled writer in his 60s, rarely seen without a jaunty black cap, but let's just see how this plays out.

Location #2 - Office

The office is upstairs from the dining room.

Clue #1 - Note from Gedet

The note from Gedet is on the desk.

Clue #2 - Feuillant Letter

Check the sofa for the letter.

Location #3 - Kitchen

Nip downstairs from the dining room to find the kitchen.

Clue #1 - Statement of Alicia

Speak to Alicia to get the address for a new location.

Clue #2 - Statement of Armand

This man's willingness to die for a pompous aristocrat who probably pays him a pittance of a salary is just embarrassing. Get his statement and mourn the day Ubisoft took out the ability to give NPCs a good bop around the earhole.

Clue #3 - Note to Alicia

Check the table for the note to Alicia.

Clue #4 - Window Pane

The last clue in the kitchen is the great big bullet hole in the window.

Location #4 - André's House

Clue #1 - Statement of Old Woman

Clue #2 - Bottle

Check the drawers next to the bed to find a mighty suspicious-looking bottle.

Clue #3 - Note for André

Read the note from Alicia for a new location.

Location #5 - Apothecary

Clue #1 - Statement of André

Location #6 - Glassmaker's

Clue #1 - List of Accounts

Check the bench for the list of accounts.

Clue #2 - Statement of the Glassmaker

This guy is pretty tight-lipped, but have a chat with him anyway.

Clue #3 - Glass Bead

Take a look in the corner for the last clue here.

Location #7 - Black Office

To find one of the clues in the Black Office, you technically need to have a lock pick skill of 3, but thanks to the weird and unnecessary restrictions on how the skills unlock, you'll need to complete sequence 9 in its entirety before that's even possible. I went as far as sequence 5, obtained lock pick level 2 and used my mongoose-like reflexes instead, so if you're prepared to persevere, it is possible to just wing it.

Clue #1 - Report

You'll find the report on the desk.

Clue #2 - Note from Chemist

Check the desk by the screen for the note from the chemist.

Clue #3 - Note to Agent

Another note on another desk.

Clue #4 - Agent List

There's a locked chest containing the last clue. It is possible to open it at lock pick level 2, but technically it requires level 3 which only becomes available after you complete sequence 9.

Whodunnit?

The murderer was Antoine Gerard, a.k.a. Black Office agent "Patriot".

To skip to the end without visiting all 7 locations, examine the body at the dining table, then speak to and accuse Gerard.
