Investigate the fate of two missing police officers.
I found a transmission on Wolf's terminal that warned him about two officers investigating the case of Calvin van Lowe. They were last reported on the East side of Lewisburg. I should head there and see what I can find out.
You'll find a duffle bag in the car with Klein's Notes, Part 1 holotape in it.
The police officers that were looking into Calvin van Lowe's disappearance left a recording behind. They ended up tailing a suspicious stranger in a "fancy suit." They intended to follow him to a "house with a flamingo out front." I should try and pick up their trail.
Go to the back of the house with the pink flamingo in front of it.
The holotape is next to one of the skeletons.
I've found the police officers; they were killed while following the man in the "fancy suit." I should investigate the scene to see if I can find out more about this well-dressed stranger.
Find the Wolf Check-in #64 note hidden in the cooler.
I've found a note hidden in the grill near the killed police officers. I should read note, titled "Wolf Check-in #64", to find out more.
It seems the two police officers were killed by Wolf, some kind of agent with a connection to Calvin van Lowe. He left instructions for anyone that's following him: obtain a keycard and further instructions from Bo-Peep's look out station. I should head there to learn more.
Find the leather bag on the roof of one of the city buildings and take the Spare Operative Keycard and the Further Instructions note from it.
Bo-Peep's instructions indicate that I should head to the basement of Van Lowe Taxidermy. I don't know what awaits me there, but the note left some cryptic clues: Laundry day, washing and drying "unmentionables", and marking the date on a Calendar.
Go down to the basement.
The From Mom note contains some hints on what you should do.
Set cycle type of the washing machine to Delicates.
Set the heat level of the dryer to Low Heat.
Once you have correctly set the washing machine and the dryer, you will be able to press the Laundry Day pin on the calendar.
A hidden passageway will open in the wall.
