Played DX a few times, but the only part of the plot that never fully makes sense to me is Maggie Chow:

She is an MJ12 plant who knows JC is Paul's brother, but doesn't know he's a fugitive? Or she does know he's a fugitive but doesn't call her MJ12 guards to take him out?
She sends JC to the police station on a mission to steal information, but then the information incriminates her. Why? JC even asks her what she expected to happen.

Not so much a plot thing, but I also find it strange that she runs up to fight JC in Versalife with just a sword and no armor. It's the least threatening fight in the game. I know the people in Hong Kong say she used to do Kung Fu movies, it would have been cool if there was some allusion to that during the fight.

First thought, Maggie didn't like either JC or the police and wanted to encourage a conflict between them, in keeping with her Modus Operandi.

JC shoots the police, she can now get someone in their to destroy evidence or something other scheme.

Police shoot JC they've solved a problem. JC comes out a wanted man, makes his job harder.

JC decides not to break in to the vault maybe he believes her and becomes part of the conflict between the triads.

The fight in Versalife is a bit mad. I can assume she's never lost a fight to the death before and that gave her confidence.
