The Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat
If you're familiar with Jean-Paul Marat, you'll already know whodunnit, but if you didn't study French revolutionary history, get ready for another romp through 8 locations to track down the culprit!
It's worth noting that the body in this particular investigation isn't a clue, though it will be added to your case file.
Location #1 - Marat's House
Clue #1 - List of Girondin Traitors
This is on the board placed over the bath,
Clue #2 - Empty Bottle of Tonic
Examine the bottle on the floor by the window to discover a new lcoation.
Clue #3 - Bloody Knife
The knife is on the floor in front of the painter.
Clue #4 - Statement of Jacques-Louis David
This chap is neither use nor ornament, but talk to him to add his pointless statement to your case file.
Clue #5 - The Friend of the People
Check the bench for the newspaper for an example of one of Jean-Paul Marat's many contributions to the cause.
Clue #6 - Letter from Charlotte Corday
This can be found right next to the window.
Location #2 - Street
Clue #1 - Statement of Jacqueline Perel
Jacqueline will hit you with a juicy nugget of gossip.

Check the building front at the merchant stall for the handbill that will add another location for you to investigate.

Talk to the merchant, who will also point you in the direction of the hotel.
Location #5 - Sewer
As with all of the subterranean locations in the game, make your way to the nearest 'underground' icon and look for an entrance.
This is what you're looking for. Be warned that if you've already started picking off the ruffians throughout the city, you'll encounter a few in the sewer who will be hostile, so kill them on sight.

Another grisly murder, but Arno doesn't care about hobos, so just leave him down here.

Location #7 - Prison
Clue #1 - Statement of Albertine Marat
Talk to Jean-Paul's sister for your first statement in this area.
Clue #2 - Statement of Jasper Lasalle
Wow. An outright confession. But don't get too excited just yet.
Clue #3 - Statement of Simmone Evrard
Another spurned woman who doesn't seem overly saddened by Marat's death.
Clue #4 - Statement of Theron Brignac
Brignac will give you the last location in the investigation.
Clue #5 - Charlotte Corday
A second confession. When it rains, it pours!
Location #8 - Shop
