Heartless is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the sixty-seventh case of the game. It is the eleventh case of Pacific Bay and the first to take place in the Inner City district.
Plot
The player was promoted to Inner City, where a feud between the Russian community and the Chinese community was ensuing. Amy, Hannah and the player went to the main street and spotted the body of Ling Zhang hanging from a street banner and with her heart missing.
During the investigation, Tao Wei vandalized a Russian bar in retribution for the murder. Afterwards, the team discovered that Ling had married a Russian man called Piotr Golovanov. The team gathered enough evidence to arrest politician Ivana Golovanov, Piotr's sister, for the murder.
After blaming the Chinese for the murder, Ivana admitted to the crime. Ivana found out about her brother's wedding with Ling. Unable to tolerate having Chinese blood in her family, she stabbed Ling with a Chinese dagger, then removed her heart and claimed it as a trophy. Judge Dante sentenced her to 20 years in jail.
After the trial, Andrea told the player to keep an eye on Tao Wei. He said that the Russians had been placing their propaganda all over the street. They found a poster depicting Ling's murder and encouraging readers to join Inner Chaos' fight to stop the feud. When told about the poster, Wei said that Inner Chaos was an anarchist organization that ceased to operate and then jumped back into activity.
After Hannah and the player helped Yuan Wong with her immigration incident with Aicha Ben Malek, Andrea told the player to stay alert for Inner Chaos.
