No Smoke Without Fire is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the twenty-ninth case of the game as well as the city of Grimsborough. It takes place in the Historical Center, a district based in Grimsborough.

Plot

Chief King sent the player to the Grimsborough forest, where Jones accompanied the player later, to collect the body of Connor Sullivan, Chief of the Grimsborough scouts, who was found dead, tied to a bonfire in the middle of his scouts' camp.

Mid-investigation, young scout Ayden Young was seen crying about his mother's grief over the victim's death. The murder weapon was later confirmed to belong to hunter James Savage, although James said that he was allergic to chocolate. Additionally, it was found via James, tea parlor owner Gertrude Piccadilly and Eagle Scout Isaac Weston that the victim had started restricted fires, terrorized his scouts, and stole scout money for alcohol. It was eventually revealed that Isaac was responsible for Connor's murder.

Isaac said that one day, Connor got drunk and lit a fire in a restricted zone of the camp, despite warnings from James. Isaac then saw the fire and just when he was putting it out with a branch, Connor came and started arguing with him. Without thinking, he hit Connor with the branch, which resulted in him getting up and grabbing Isaac's throat. To save himself, Isaac stabbed Connor with James' knife repeatedly. After all this, Isaac felt guilty and tried to revive his Scoutmaster, but to no avail. He then tied the victim to a bonfire since he did not want the young scouts to see the dead body. However, when Isaac came back after returning James' knife to his shack to frame him for Connor's murder, the rain had already started and the bonfire was extinguished. This led the young scouts to discover Connor's tied and burnt corpse at the bonfire. Isaac was sentenced to 15 years in jail with a chance for parole in 7 years by Judge Hall.

After the trial, the player and Jones apologized to James for the latter's accusations of the murder and helped him find his bird call whistle before they helped Ayden and the other scouts learn more crime prevention for a scout badge. Ramirez and the player also helped Gertrude investigate an old smelling packet of kibbles in her tearoom.
