The Torn City Times can exclusively reveal that the long-awaited Detective Agency company will be made available tomorrow. And with an incredibly powerful special unlocked at just three stars, the lives of Torn's criminal community could be about to change forever-ever-ever-ever.
The Detective Agency, which costs $12million to set up, offers as standard the ability to acquire the history of any player's involvement in both factions and businesses. This special will allow both faction leaders and directors the chance to vet their potential recruits by leafing through their prior affiliations. If, for example, you are a player well-known for stealing billions from your faction's vault, changing your name will no longer be sufficient to disguise your identity. Your prospective faction leader will be able to see who you've served and contact your former factionmates - who will be no doubt keen to attest to your crimes.

At three stars the aforementioned Deputised special comes into effect, with employees of the Detective Agency given the ability to arrest citizens who have a sufficiently high criminal profile. Of course, one must first defeat one's opponent before being able to take them into custody, but those who succeed will receive a reward equivalent to 10% of the prisoner's criminal earnings. Conversely, the villain shall be handed a prison sentence of no fewer than 2.7 hours and no more than 48 hours, with the exact figure dependent on the number and severity of their crimes - the sexier the crime the longer the time.
Another special made available by the Detective Agency will assist the Deputised function when the firm reaches ten stars. But first, let us explore the five and seven star specials, beginning with Friend or Foe. At five stars, Detective Agency employees will be able to view who has added them as a friend or an enemy. For some citizens, there can be no doubt as to who these people may be, but for those of us with a more nuanced approach to social relationships, Friend or Foe can be used to finally reveal who secretly hates / is obsessed with you.
And if you are disappointed by any of the names on your enemy list, or perhaps the lack of names on your friends list, why not take out your frustrations using the seven star Watchlist perk, which allows you to delay someone's flight by up to two hours. For just 50 job points, Detectives can abuse their position by supplying false information pertaining to the flight risk status of their target. This despicable act can only be performed against an individual once per flight, so if every trip back and forth to Mexico ends up taking 500% longer, you can be sure the effects of this special will be felt by the recipient.

Finally, the ten star special at the Detective Company is called Most Wanted, with this list comprising the top ten citizens whose arrest would provide the highest rewards. Furthermore, the list will be supplemented by a random assortment of ten other notable citizens who meet the minimum threshold for being taken into custody. Said threshold requires a criminal to have acquired a certain amount in criminal earnings or to have expended a particular amount of nerve on their misdeeds before they are eligible for apprehension. Upon their arrest. these figures will be reset, with only crimes committed since 27th February 2018 being taken into consideration.
It was on this date that the Torn authorities began to track and record the successes and failures of the city's criminal class. Everything from the value of items taken through to the number of hospitalisations was carefully compiled by an invasive new system called Criminal Restitution Imprisonment Metric Encompassing Digitally Acquired Data, or CRIMEDAD. CRIMEDAD, much like a real father, has known what you've been getting up to for some time now, but only recently has he decided to take off his belt and make you smoke that whole pack of pornography.
And with the crime figures as they are, can anyone be surprised? A total of 6,564,724 crimes have been attempted since this time last month. Of these offences, 767,259 were completed unsuccessfully, with 76,657 of these failures leading to jail, and 30,029 causing the suspect to be hospitalised. 11,156 people lost money attempting criminal activity, but 2,053,001 managed to acquire some kind of item, with a further 3,059 gaining points and 1,383 acquiring tokens.
As a result of this crime spree, there are currently 5,556 people who are above the threshold to be arrested, with the most high-profile citizen worth $3,062,050 due to their criminal earnings of $30,620,505. But even if you're not strong enough to take down the big cheese, there are plenty of Babybel-sized criminals waiting for you to unload a hot lump of delicious justice right into their stupid faces.

The 5,556 criminals who meet the minimum requirements for arrest have between them earned $2,001,482,328 from crimes, which means there is $200,148,232 on offer in rewards should you somehow manage to pull a Pokemon and catch them all. This translates to an average of $3,602,385 criminal earnings per person, or $360,238 in rewards - and there is much more still to come. The combined criminal activities of the city have earned an incredible $93,717,443,683 over the past 30 days, and since the average citizen performs enough crimes in a week to make themselves eligible for arrest with some margin to spare, one can only see these figures growing in future.
At this point we should like to make it clear that the rewards earned for capturing a criminal will not be taken from the earnings of the perpetrator - Torn will never bow down to the demands of those who would seek to hamper our city's honest criminal underclass. Nor will a criminal's arrest have any bearing on their Crime Experience. However, there is nevertheless a notable change in the wind which I can taste with my tongue when I stick it right out. With the city paying out of its own coffers to lock up innocent criminals - people who have done nothing wrong bar a few hundred crimes - there is clearly a new agenda at play.
That being said, crime will always be at the forefront of Torn City life. The $93billion taken in by criminal enterprise over the past month took 49,224,740 in nerve to acquire, giving us a ratio of $1,904 for every single point of nerve expended.
Crime surely does pay in Torn City; but soon, so will justice.
