Shanghai Justice (steps 1-3) Deus Ex: HR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Introduction

You will be given a chance to complete this side mission during the Hunting the Hacker main quest. One of steps in that quest is to visit Alice Garden Pods hotel in hopes of finding a hacker named van Bruggen. That's when you'll meet Malik and she'll ask you for help. The quest given by Malik doesn't require to participate in any fights. It's more about exploration and choosing how to react in certain situations.

LIST OF QUEST OBJECTIVES:

1. SECONDARY - Take a look around inside a pod 009 - I wouldn't recommend ignoring this activity, because you won't even have to leave the area where you've started this quest in order to be able to find the pod.

2. PRIMARY - Meet the informant - Remember to say the correct password after starting the conversation in the clinic.

3. PRIMARY - Acquire an autopsy report - You can kill/stun the informant or acquire the report as a result of a conversation with him. The game will leave you with a choice in this case, because you'll be allowed to decide whether you want to pay him for his services or decline giving him any credits.

4. PRIMARY - Read the autopsy report - All you have to do is open the journal and select the latest entry.

5. PRIMARY - Find Lee Hong's apartment - Finding the apartment won't be a problem. Getting inside on the other hand won't be easy.

6. PRIMARY - Find Lee - You'll complete this objective almost immediately, because Jensen will discover that Lee is not home.

7. PRIMARY - Search Lee's apartment - There are four interactive items in the apartment you must interact with.

8. PRIMARY - Go to the Hive - You've visited the nightclub before, so you should still remember where it is and how to get in.

9. PRIMARY - Find Lee Hong in the Hive - Lee is sitting in the VIP section on the upper floor of the nightclub.

10. PRIMARY - Talk to Lee Hong - You should think about each question carefully, because otherwise you won't be able to record Lee's true statement.

11. PRIMARY - Leave - You'll receive this objective even if you fail the conversation with Lee.

12. PRIMARY - Disable Hive's security protocols using a terminal - You will unlock this objective only if you've passed the conversation with Lee and therefore recorded his statement. The terminal has a level three protection and it may be guarded, so it won't be easy.

13. PRIMARY - Exit the club and talk to Malik - You'll have to meet Malik even if you've failed to manipulate Lee to admit that he killed Evelyn.

14. PRIMARY - Look at the Hive club - You will unlock this objective after the final conversation with Malik and only if you've recorded Lee's statement.

(1) Having a conversation with Malik

Like I've said in the introduction to this quest, you'll have to get to the Alice Garden Pods hotel as a part of the main quest. Proceed towards the stairs leading to the main area of the hotel #1. If you've done everything according to the plan, then you should be stopped by Malik as soon as you've used the stairs #2.

The pilot friend will be very mysterious at first about why she decided to visit the Alice Garden Pods hotel, but if you'll be friendly towards her you'll discover her true intentions. Apparently Malik is looking into the death of her friend Evelyn. The girl was probably murdered by her boyfriend and the authorities haven't done too much. It's worth mentioning that an alternative way of finding out why Malik is here is to use the Social Enhancer on her which by the way would result in a funny reaction. In this case you would have to activate pheromones (press the Z key) and choose a beta type of personality. Continue the conversation, finding out that despite contradictory evidence concerning Evelyn's death the investigation was very short and a lot of potential leads were ignored. Naturally you can ask Malik several questions concerning the case, including a police raport, Evelyn's boyfriend and Evelyn herself. End the conversation by agreeing to help Malik or by refusing her proposal. If you say yes you will receive two assignments - Malik will want you to acquire a copy of Evelyn's autopsy report and to search the pod which belonged to her, because it may help in your investigation.

(2) Examining Evelyn's pod

The pod number 009 can be found on the third floor of the Alice Garden Pods hotel. There are two ways to get to the upper levels of the hotel. You can choose the main stairway located in the south-eastern corner #1 or you can choose the fire escape staircase located in the north-western corner #2.

Once you're on level three start exploring the pods located in the southern section of this floor #1. One of them belonged to Evelyn #2.

Press the crouch key and enter the pod. The most important object found here is a datapad (screen above). Use your journal to read a censored version of a police report. Aside from the datapad you should also examine an Ebook with a press article about Evelyn's death.

Reward: 100 experience points.

(3) Meeting the informant

You may exit the Alice Garden Pods hotel. Your next objective is to go to the LIMB clinic and this building can be found on level one in the northern part of the Kuaigan district. The easiest way to get there is to head north-west #1. Use the stairs and then choose the main passageway leading west #2.

Keep going west until you've reached a larger square #1. Go north here and you shouldn't have any problems finding the entrance to the LIMB clinic #2.

Once you're inside the clinic proceed to the main room and initiate a conversation with a man wearing a baseball cap. He should be standing inside the booth to your right #1. Choose an upper dialogue option #2 to tell the password received from Malik - Death and life. The man will suggest to meet him at the back of the clinic.

Reward: 100 experience points.

Exit the building and follow the instructions you've received by going left #1. Turn left for the second time and locate Anonymous X #2.

If you don't want to talk to the informant, then you can defeat him in melee combat or use a weapon #1 to kill/stun him. Examine his body #2 to find a datapad with a copy of an autopsy report.

Reward: 100 experience points.

If you want to behave like a civilised person, then you should initiate a conversation with Anonymous X. The conversation isn't going to be too long and it'll end with receiving a datapad containing a copy of Evelyn's autopsy report. The informant will demand 1000 credits for delivering the report and you can either agree to his request or refuse to hand over the money. The second option is a better choice, because even though he'll start threatening you he won't do anything to harm you.

Reward: 100 experience points.

Your next step is to examine the autopsy report you've recently obtained and in order to do that you must open your journal. Select the first entry from the list. Read the entire report carefully and you'll find out that Evelyn wasn't drunk when she died and that the date and the circumstances of her death don't match. Jensen will also uncover that Evelyn was pregnant. Wait for Malik to contact you again. This time she'll ask you to go to the apartment owned by Evelyn's ex-boyfriend to find some evidence that could implicate him in the murder.

Reward: 100 experience points.
