David Jones

David Jeremiah Jones is an agent of the Grimsborough Police Department and your partner in all the cases in Criminal Case. He can be selected as your partner when all your teammates have been used or when you just select him in the teammate selection screen.

Appearance
Jones is a 33-year-old man with dark brown spiky hair and light blue eyes. He has long ears and a wide nose. In almost all the cases, Jones wears a standard Grimsborough PD uniform, which is a light blue, full-sleeves shirt with a dark green tie. On the two sleeves of his shirt is the logo of the Grimsborough Police Department.

Notable Events of Criminal Case
Jones was introduced to us in the very beginning of the game.

In Case #20, when the player asked how Jones knew the spoon was a caviar spoon, Jones answered that he used to work in a Posh restaurant before and washed dishes, and that was how he could recognize spoons very well.

In Case #22, Jones bought a deer clock from Desmond Galloway's Antique Shop, which costed him his whole salary: $1200. Then in Case #24, he bought a bear rug to go with his deer clock from Mortimer Mutlog, a taxidermist.

In Case #26, Jones revealed that ever since he was a kid, he always felt uncomfortable whenever he used to go to the local Grimsborough library. In the very case, it was discovered that Jones' full name was David Jones (click  to see a photo). It was also discovered that the librarian, Constance Bell, knew Jones ever since he was a young boy and didn't like him for some reason (maybe because Jones never returned her library's books early). For example, when the team went to search her library for the first time, she ordered Jones not to touch any of her books.

In Case #29, after learning about the murder of the chief of the Grimsborough scouts, Connor Sullivan, Jones mentioned that he used to be a scout when he was a kid, and said that these kinds of things would never happen back in his days and that things were much simpler at that time.

In Case #31, Margaret Littlewood (an old lady who had participated in the annual Dog Pageant competition with her dog, Astrid) poisoned Jones so that she would not get caught and arrested for the murder of another participant, Molly Robinson. Margaret had poisoned Jones when the team went to give her back Astrid's ribbon. Just then, she gave Jones to eat one of her cupcakes which was mixed with poison. Jones happily ate it and as a result, he became extremely sick by the end of Chapter 2 and couldn't do further investigations. He was then replaced by Ramirez, an officer of the GPD.

After being arrested, Margaret handed the police the antidote to her poison which then recovered Jones. She also asked the police to give Jones her secret book of recipes, and her dog, Astrid, so that he could take care of it and enter the Dog Pageant competition with it. Jones then took part in the competition with Astrid and surprisingly won.

In Case #35, as Jones was talking to the player about Grace's fiancé as a criminal, Grace heard it and thus got mad at Jones, and furiously shouted out Jones with his full name, David Jeremiah Jones.

In Case #39, it was revealed that there was a funny page of Jones called "Oh My Jones" in Friendnet. It had more than 1,000 hearts (a parody of "likes") and there, members published funny pictures of Jones to have a laugh at him.

In Case #48, the citizens of Maple Heights filed complaints against Jones for being rude to them. Chief Samuel King also said that the case was too serious for him. As a result, Jones was replaced by Grace.

Jones stopped shaving between the events of Chapter 4 and Additional Investigation of Case #51 and as a result, got a stubble due to Chief Samuel King's suicide. From Case #53 onwards, Jones started to get eye-bags due to lack of sleeping and eating.

Personal Life
Jones is a senior police officer of GPD whose salary is $1200 per month.

Jones is divorced. After the killer was arrested in Death by Crucifixion (Case #7), he told the player that his ex-wife wanted him to see a psychologist because of the stress being a police officer caused. His ex-wife's name was Charlotte and they got divorced because she couldn't handle the risk his job entailed.

Jones hates chain smokers and sewers, as claimed by himself in Case #3 and Case #5, respectively. He also dislikes Bart Willams, Tony Marconi, Dimitri Balanchine and Alden Greene. Jones loves country music and cupcakes, and his great weakness are cookies. He is also allergic to compost.

Jones once told his partner that he worked in a luxury restaurant when he was a student. It is known that Jones is interested in magic and that he wanted to be a magician when he was younger but couldn't become one. He was also interested in becoming a firefighter when he was a kid. It is also known that he wanted a pink bedroom when he was a kid, as told by him after investigating Sarah Mills' bedroom in An Elementary Murder (Case #40).

Jones may have practised S&amp;M in his past. In A Deadly Game, Jezabela seems to recall a time in which they spent together. For some reason, Jones was not eager to tell this story or explain why he knew Jezabela and her club.

In To Die or Not to Die (Case #22), Jones kept calling cats "evil" after getting the results of the analyses that were related to animals. This may show that Jones is afraid of cats. But in Burying the Hatchet (Case #53) after repairing an amulet, Jones showed no sign of felinophobia and said that he liked cats.

Jones loved playing in greenhouses when he was a kid as told by him after finding a pile of flowers in The Final Journey (Case #23).

In The Scent of Death (Case #44), it is revealed that Jones used to read the "Girly Gossip" magazine from time to time. He blushed when he was trying to give an explanation to why he reads such things. In the very case, he also admitted that he uses a hair removal cream for women called "Fair Away".

In A Shot of Beauty (Case #45), it is discovered that Jones was a fan of wrestler Tom Norris when he was a kid and that he had even bought a pair of Tom's wrestling shorts.

In Drive, Swing, Die (Case #46), Jones mentions that he often used to get lost in the forest when he was a young boy, and thus, his mom had to make up stories to keep him away from going back to the forest.

In A Brave New World (Case #52), after finishing the examination of an astolabe, Jones will mention that his grandfather was an astrologer.

In The Poisoned Truth (Case #54), Jones mentions that he used to collect baseball and wrestling cards when he was a kid.
