Color Me Murdered

Color Me Murdered is a case featured in Criminal Case as the twenty-second case of The Conspiracy (Season 5) and the two-hundred fifty-third case overall. It is takes place in the Old Town district of Grimsborough.

Plot
Amir informed Jones and the player of a body found on Church Street. The cops then went there to collect the body of Marcus Butler, who was slashed in the stomach.

Mid-investigation, a cosplayer of Miracle Girl, Marcus's creation, came to visit the station. Later, Judge Powell asked the player for confirmation of her daughter Olive's involvement in the investigation before she proceeded to scold her. The team then found enough evidence to arrest the victim's friend, Haruki Kato, for the murder.

Upon admitting to the murder, Haruki also admitted to being a member of The Higher Truth. He said that he needed more money to donate in order to reach the next level of the cult, so he asked Marcus for money, as he had gotten rich after selling the movie rights to Miracle Girl. After Marcus refused to give the money, Haruki resolved to killing him, sharpening a special white bear claw and slashing Marcus to death. Judge Powell sentenced Haruki to 19 years in prison.

Post-trial, Rita told the team that Gabriel had given her a signal when she saw him along with the rest of The Higher Truth chanting in Church Street. Jones and the player went to the street and found a coded message from Gabriel.

Meanwhile, Gloria said that she suggested to Judge Powell that Olive babysit Carter. Olive then took him to the Kraken pub to play board games, but had since left without informing Gloria. Gloria and the player then went to the pub to begin their search, and found Olive's diary.
