In this segment, the narrator, CG, delves into the inconclusive case of Richard Brown’s death, presenting evidence for both sides: whether Brown jumped or was pushed. It starts with agreed facts on Brown, a respected detective in the Munich police, who was involved in a life-altering event after he killed a young suspect, Stefan Yost, linked to the sinister Kinderheim 511 orphanage. Initially celebrated, Brown’s life disintegrated after an anonymous letter accused him of cold-blooded murder, leading to his resignation, loss of family, and a struggle with alcoholism. Years later, having overcome his past troubles, Brown investigates the death of Edmund Farren and discovers clues tied to unsolved murders.

In this part of the video, the clues lead to a man named Johann, who is isolating Hans Shuwold. During the investigation, Brown faces multiple near-death experiences, raising doubts about whether they were accidental or intentional. Eventually, Brown uncovers the truth, leading to a confrontation where Johann takes him to a bar, and despite Brown’s attempt to stay sober, the discussion escalates to a rooftop. Here, Johann reveals that Brown soberly shot a young killer but has been lying about being intoxicated. Johann implies that such a man does not deserve to reunite with his daughter and offers him a drink.

Subsequently, Dr. Gillen’s house is alarmed by sirens, announcing that Richard Brown has died from a fall, with a smashed liquor bottle nearby, leaving the mystery of whether he jumped or was pushed. The narrative emphasizes Brown’s strong moral character and recent recovery from alcoholism, his efforts for justice despite being off the police force, and public defense of his integrity. The video posits that Brown, while investigating, recognized ‘true evil’ in a boy he shot, resembling Johann, and regrets his actions despite believing he was combating evil. Brown’s demise, surrounded by unresolved murder cases implicating Johann, paints a picture of his relentless pursuit of justice and complex moral struggles.

In this part of the video, the focus is on Richard’s intense drive for justice as he confronts Johann, a key suspect in his case. It argues that Richard would not let Johann get away due to his sense of justice and his desire for redemption over the death of Yost. Despite Johann’s psychological attacks, the belief is that Richard’s commitment to justice is too strong for him to consider suicide. Instead, it is proposed that Johann physically pushed Richard off the roof, since Richard having the wrong type of alcohol (rack instead of whiskey) suggests a cover-up for murder. The theory is reinforced by pointing out that Richard would not relapse into drinking cheap liquor and the confrontation with Johann would not lead him to take his own life.

In this part of the video, the discussion focuses on Richard’s deep-seated guilt over the death of Stefan Yost, which drives him to alcoholism, estrangement from his family, and career ruin. Despite undergoing therapy with Dr. Gillen, Richard is in denial, attributing his issues solely to the traumatic event. Richard’s perceived progress is founded on a lie, which Johan exposes, unraveling Richard’s sense of self and plunging him into despair, particularly by exploiting his desire to reunite with his daughter. Johan, a master manipulator, targets Richard at his most vulnerable moments, pushing him towards self-destruction. The narrative parallels Richard’s and Tenma’s experiences, emphasizing the devastating impact of guilt and manipulation. Johan’s confrontation leaves Richard isolated and devastated, much like Nina’s near-tragedy, highlighting the series’ thematic exploration of truth and consequences.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the tragic circumstances surrounding Richard’s death. They speculate that Richard, possibly influenced by Johan’s manipulative words and his own guilt over past events involving Stephanie Ost, might have taken his own life by jumping from a roof. The speaker considers whether Richard may have turned to alcohol for comfort before his death and mentions an interview from “Another Monster” with Dr. Gillen. They question whether Johan directly caused Richard’s death or simply pushed him towards it psychologically. The segment concludes with an invitation for viewers to share their thoughts and any additional clues in the comments.
