Case #18 -
In the Dead of Night
Introduction:
In the Dead of Night is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the eighteenth case of the game as well as the city of Grimsborough. It takes place in the Financial Center, a district based in Grimsborough.
Plot:
The victim was a high schooler named Freddy Stewart, who was found lying dead against a tree in Cooper Park (the same place where Henry Crosby was murdered) during a night robbery in the Greene Mansion.
The killer turned out to be a middle schooler named Julian Ramis, who was Freddy's friend. He accidentally killed Freddy with the stolen crossbow during the celebration of the successful robbery of the Greene Mansion at Cooper Park. The crossbow had accidently fired as it was rusty. Since participating in a robbery was considered as a felony, Julian Ramis, though the murder was accidental, was to report to the Grimsborough Juvenile Detention Center for 1 year. Had Julian refused to conduct the robbery, no charges would have been pressed against him.
