Eastern Promises

Eastern Promises (Case #69 or Case #13 in Pacific Bay) is the sixty-ninth case in the game and the thirteenth case in Pacific Bay.

Case Background
Chief Marquez asked Frank Knight and the player to represent the Pacific Bay Police Department in the wedding of Steve Srebnik and Manka Srebnik (nee Radich), but upon the priest requiring Radovan Radich's presence to witness the knot tied, the team spotted something wrong and went to the reception room. The police found Radovan dead, impaled on a cupid's arrow wedding decoration and took Radovan's corpse to Roxie Sparks right away. The killer was a hammam masseur named Tom Zhang, but before Tom was apprehended for grand homicide, Judge Dante requested Frank to reason with Steve as his specialty is homicide hearings instead of divorce hearings.

Tom lived his life in solitude but can take it no more, so he resolved to do something to make a Chinese gang notice him, since he wanted to belong somewhere in the world. The task fell in proving his toughness to the Chinese community. Radovan frequented Tom and during his massage sessions, always bragged about his daughter and felt he deserved to be invited to Manka's wedding. Tom used Manka's wedding as an excuse to kill Radovan so that the Chinese gang could recognize him, but received no recognition from the Chinese gang. Frank sent Tom to trial as murdering people just for recognition was a bad idea.

In court, Tom believed that him killing Radovan will unite the Chinese community against the Russian community with feelings that even Sue Xiong is secretly proud of him although she can't admit she's the leader of a Chinese gang in which Judge Dante thought was a ridiculous statement. Russell Crane's psychological report suggests solitude was the driving reason that led Tom to grand homicide but even with homicidal delusions the report declared Tom sane which explained why Tom was given a 20-year jail sentence instead of treatment in an institution for the criminally insane.

In the hours following Tom Zhang's impoundment, Eduardo Ramirez came from Grimsborough to send a pickpocket named Ahmet to school at the request of Radich, and Hannah Choi gets stalked by her past after completing her digital lab analysis, which made Chief Marquez worried sick/
