Blood Diamond is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the one-hundred tenth case of the game and the fifty-fourth case of Pacific Bay. It is the fourth case to take place in Paradise City, a district based in Pacific Bay.

Plot

Previously on Criminal Case, Chief Marquez suggested the Pacific Bay Criminal Case Team to keep tabs on Merv Waylon due to a possibility of him being involved of the heist targeting the Mennagio Casino since the big heist required guns, making the gun convention a target for the heist participants. With Amy Young, the player attempted to pin something on Merv, only to find him pinned to a motel wall with knives. It took Roxie Sparks to find out that Merv was tortured to death off-screen, meaning that he was stabbed to death post-mortem with throwing knives. It was revealed that Merv was tortured at the basement of the Mennagio Casino. As a result, the player had to treat Eugenia Hestentrope as a suspect. By going through this trouble, the player gathered enough evidence to out Sheikh Faisal as Merv's killer.

Abdullah bin Faisal was infuriated after Amy and the player gathered enough evidence to prove the faux Sheikh guilty of grand homicide due to him assuming he had diplomatic immunity from criminal prosecution in foreign soil. During the investigation, Hannah Choi found out that Faisal was also a con since he was a failed actor in Ivywood per her information audit. Amy took advantage of Hannah's exploit to make Faisal admit to grand homicide not to mention the assumption of the Sheikh con Faisal cherished throughout his life but eventually the driving reason for the murder was because of the diamonds he wanted.

The moment Papa Quansah landed in Paradise City, Faisal targeted him so that he could commence a gun smuggling operation for the Middle East--until Merv beat Faisal for the diamonds. Wanting the diamonds like it was something that's of high importance to him, Amy thought Faisal tortured Merv so that he would surrender the diamonds to him, but Merv was very protective of the diamonds Quansah promised. Faisal wanted everything that benefitted his Sheikh persona, but Amy felt that this would be of use in court, so the player shipped Faisal to face Judge Dante.

Judge Dante wanted to know as to why Faisal was innocent of the finger cutting that happened in the Mennagio Casino minutes before Merv's demise, but all Faisal wanted to know was where the diamonds were. Faisal placed a lot of hard work to ensure that his Sheikh persona benefitted him financially and physically much to the chagrin of Merv beating Faisal for the diamonds. Judge Dante had heard enough, so he sentenced the faux Sheikh to 30 years in jail.

An investigational audit concluded that Merv cut his own fingers to prevent Faisal from knowing the location of the diamonds, clearing Quansah of any torture charges brought against him. Meanwhile, Chief Marquez questioned Louis De Rico about the impending heist about to take place in the Mennagio Casino, a feat that was confirmed to be true after Hannah's findings. The team took its time to warn Eugenia about her nightmares being true, prompting Chief Marquez to have Frank Knight to join the player in stopping the heist.
