Open Wounds is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the seventy-sixth case of the game and the twentieth case of Pacific Bay. It takes place in Jazz Town, a district based in Pacific Bay.

Plot

Frank and the player ran out of gas near a Civil War reenactment battlefield, where they saw actor Joe Stanford being shot to death with a cannonball.

Mid-investigation, Veronica Blade fired a cannon to pay homage to her ancestor, almost hitting the team. Furthermore, Stanley Bullock and his men aimed their cannons towards the Blade estate. The team found enough evidence to arrest teacher Harriet Davis for the murder.

Harriet denied the accusations but soon admitted to the crime. She was against violence and believed that the war reenactment would encourage it among society. When Joe placed a poster about a shooting practice near her school, Harriet decided it was the last straw, prompting her to shoot Joe with a cannon. Judge Dante sentenced her to 20 years in jail.

After the trial, Yann suddenly left the police station. They looked for him at the Cannonball Saloon, where they found a recorded police interview that (per Russell) showed that Stanley was a suspect in a previous Puppeteer investigation. Stanley said that Yann interrogated him to find new leads on the serial killer.

After Frank and the player helped Veronica to continue the reenactment, Hannah reported that another hurricane was heading for Jazz Town.
