Because Hurricane Zelda was approaching, the citizens of Jazz Town resorted to looting in order to get resources to last through the storm. A prisoner had also escaped, taking advantage of the chaos. [[Andrea Marquez|Chief Marquez]] assigned [[Frank Knight|Frank]] and the player to patrol the streets. The two saw [[Kitty LaBombe]] running away from the abandoned theater in a panic. There, the two found the escaped convict, [[Scott Lee Allan]], tied up and partially eaten by rats.
[[Andrea Marquez|Chief Marquez]] made it clear that no one from the [[Pacific Bay Police Department]] would be entitled to any sleep due to a looting riot occurring throughout the streets of Jazz Town in spite of the team's success in extracting all Jazz Town residents out of Hurricane Zelda's grasp. An escaped convict named [[Scott Lee Allan]] reportedly took advantage of the chaos to escape from the penitentiary, prompting Chief Marquez to dispatch [[Frank Knight|Frank]] and the player to put an end to the looting riot at all costs.
 
   
  +
Mid-investigation, the looters attacked the [[Pacific Bay Police Department]]'s headquarters. Later on, the killer attacked [[Amy Young|Amy]] while she was patrolling the headquarters. [[Russell Crane|Russell]] was able to rescue her and get some information about the killer from her. They were soon able to incriminate the victim's cellmate [[Andre Roche]] for the murder.
[[Kitty LaBombe]]'s scream was heard from a distance informing Frank and the player about a disgusting situation inside an abandoned theater only to find the escaped convict tied to a pink sofa chair cannibalized to death by rats. During the murder investigation, the Pacific Bay PD Headquarters was under attack by the looters thanks to a car crash that compromised the precinct's electrical supply, in which Chief Marquez ordered Frank and the player to assess the damage done to the headquarters. [[Freddie Alonzo]] was attacked by the looters during the car crash. To make things worse, [[Amy Young|Amy]] was attacked by the looters inside the headquarters—prompting [[Russell Crane]] to alert Frank and the player about Amy being told by a looter hidden behind a mask to force the player to put the murder investigation to a halt. Amy's injuries confirmed that Scott's murder and the attack on the PBPD precinct were linked. After hours of tedious investigation, the killer was incriminated to be the victim's cell mate, [[Andre Roche]]. Andre was also responsible for attacking Amy in hope of shaking the player off his trail.
 
   
  +
Scott did not want to tell Andre about the location of his hidden treasure. He then saw Scott in the streets, so he devised a plan to get the information out of him. He collected rats, lured Scott to the theater, tied him up, and then tortured him. After Scott revealed where the treasure was, Andre tried to untie him but the hungry rats ate him alive. For torture, the murder, and the endangerment of Pacific Bay rats, [[Judge Dante]] sentenced Andre to 40 years in jail.
Andre learned of Scott's hidden loot in which Scott refused to out details, but also had to put up with Scott's bullying during his hard time. When Andre learned of Scott's breakaway from prison, he saw an opportunity to get even with his oppressive cell mate by exploiting his weakness, in this case Scott hated rats. Andre lured Scott into the abandoned theater, and then he tied the escaped convict using his military training. Andre intended to torture Scott so that he would learn the location of the hidden loot but little did he know he covered him with Rat Attract—allowing the rats to cannibalize his former cell mate. Andre attempted to release him after Scott bubbled out the hidden loot's location, but to no avail.
 
   
  +
Meanwhile, [[Yann Toussaint|Yann]] found out that [[Freddie Alonzo|Freddie]]'s parents were the first victims of [[Freddie Alonzo|the Puppeteer]]. After the trial, Yann and the player asked him for information about the serial killer. Chief Marquez asked Yann to stop investigating the Puppeteer. [[Hannah Choi|Hannah]] then came in and informed the team that Hurricane Zelda had accelerated and that [[The Eye of the Storm|it was already striking Jazz Town]].
[[Edward Dante|Judge Dante]] informed the court that he had his vehicle stolen by looters but also pin-pointed that Pacific Bay rats are protected species under Pacific Bay law, a move which infuriated Judge Dante for the first time in the game. For the premeditated murder of Scott Lee Allan and the alleged endangerment of the Pacific Bay rats, Andre was sentenced to [[:File:Criminal Case Pacific Bay Case No.22 - Incarceration|40 years in jail]] assigned to a cell mate who was known to snore in their sleep. Judge Dante also gave Andre a chance to come clean by asking him where Scott's loot was located at, but Andre refused to out it before Judge Dante. Therefore, the sentence stood.

==Summary==
Frank was surprised that the player was not disgusted when it came to disgusting murders, mirroring how [[David Jones]] was surprised when the player demonstrated undeniable bravery during the events of [[The Grim Butcher]] and [[A Deadly Game]] in [[Grimsborough]]. [[Yann Toussaint]] found out that Freddie's parents were also victims of [[Freddie Alonzo|The Puppeteer]] in the hours following Andre's arrest albeit Chief Marquez pleaded with Yann to drop his quest to bring The Puppeteer to justice, but [[Hannah Choi]] interrupted Chief Marquez and Yann urgently to alert the team [[The Eye of the Storm|Hurricane Zelda was striking Jazz Town]] at the northeast corner of the hurricane-battered district.

Of Rats and Men is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the seventy-eighth case of the game and the twenty-second case of Pacific Bay. It takes place in Jazz Town, a district based in Pacific Bay.

Plot

Because Hurricane Zelda was approaching, the citizens of Jazz Town resorted to looting in order to get resources to last through the storm. A prisoner had also escaped, taking advantage of the chaos. Chief Marquez assigned Frank and the player to patrol the streets. The two saw Kitty LaBombe running away from the abandoned theater in a panic. There, the two found the escaped convict, Scott Lee Allan, tied up and partially eaten by rats.

Mid-investigation, the looters attacked the Pacific Bay Police Department's headquarters. Later on, the killer attacked Amy while she was patrolling the headquarters. Russell was able to rescue her and get some information about the killer from her. They were soon able to incriminate the victim's cellmate Andre Roche for the murder.

Scott did not want to tell Andre about the location of his hidden treasure. He then saw Scott in the streets, so he devised a plan to get the information out of him. He collected rats, lured Scott to the theater, tied him up, and then tortured him. After Scott revealed where the treasure was, Andre tried to untie him but the hungry rats ate him alive. For torture, the murder, and the endangerment of Pacific Bay rats, Judge Dante sentenced Andre to 40 years in jail.

Meanwhile, Yann found out that Freddie's parents were the first victims of the Puppeteer. After the trial, Yann and the player asked him for information about the serial killer. Chief Marquez asked Yann to stop investigating the Puppeteer. Hannah then came in and informed the team that Hurricane Zelda had accelerated and that it was already striking Jazz Town.
