Locate the Smuggler's Goods

The Ministry has issued a directive regarding a known smuggler operating in the building. Your objective is to locate their hidden stash of illegal goods. This task requires careful observation and potentially interaction with the smuggler or other tenants to gather clues. Finding the goods is key to fulfilling the Ministry's request.

The smuggler, often referred to as Patrick, resides in the building. Your first step is to identify his apartment. Once identified, the challenge is to find where he has concealed his contraband. Smugglers are cunning, and their hiding spots can be elaborate.

Here are common locations and methods to find the goods:

  • Inside Patrick's Apartment:
    • Hidden Wall Panels: Look for discolored or loose sections of wallpaper or paneling.
    • False Bottoms in Furniture: Check desks, wardrobes, and chests for secret compartments.
    • Under Floorboards: Some apartments have loose floorboards that can be lifted.
    • Behind Paintings or Mirrors: Interact with wall decorations to see if they conceal anything.
    • In the Toilet Cistern: A classic hiding spot for smaller items.
  • Common Areas:
    • Laundry Room: Sometimes goods are hidden in washing machines or behind utility panels.
    • Basement/Storage Lockers: If accessible, these are prime locations for larger stashes.
    • Dumpsters/Trash Cans: Desperate smugglers might temporarily hide items here.
  • Gathering Information:
    • Eavesdropping: Listen to conversations between Patrick and other tenants. They might inadvertently reveal clues about his activities or hiding spots.
    • Interrogating Patrick: You can attempt to question Patrick directly. This might require a high intimidation skill or a bribe to get him to reveal information.
    • Searching Other Tenants' Apartments: In some cases, Patrick might have bribed another tenant to hold his goods. This is a riskier approach as it involves breaking into another tenant's home.

The goods you are looking for can vary but often include items like Foreign Cigarettes, Prohibited Alcohol, Illegal Blueprints, or even Firearms. Once found, you have a choice to make regarding these items, which will be covered in the next section.
