Blood and Glory

Blood and Glory (Case #42) is the forty-second case of the game and the first case in Maple Heights district. The victim was a man called Jerry Bigwall, who was found face down in a cake, a river of blood flowing down from his mouth. The killer was Mitchell Westville.

Mitchell killed Jerry because Jerry got him drunk one night, thus revealing that his family was broke, as well as Jerry recording him saying that. Mitchell did not want his family name to get spoiled as the people in Maple Heights would have regarded him with disdain if they had known the truth, and he said murder is a lesser crime in this district.
