The Seeds of Death is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the ninety-seventh case of the game and the forty-first case of Pacific Bay. It takes place in Rhine Canyon, a district based in Pacific Bay.

Plot

Chief Marquez wanted Amy Young and the player to know more about the district of Rhine Canyon, so she ordered them to patrol an oil well in the middle of the desert. Things were bad, what with the smokey environment and the oil stains. Even worse, they found scientist Bruce Green chained to a pipe, being eaten by a vulture. The body was shipped to Roxie Sparks, who confirmed Bruce was knocked out and left for the vulture, meaning that it was a murder with the vulture as the murder weapon. The killer was eventually incriminated to be an oil well worker named Jake Drill.

Jake stated that the team made a mistake arresting him but finally admitted the crime when the evidence was presented to him. Bruce managed to make corn grow in the desert, which was a huge step against hunger. He was about to auction his project to the big companies. If the big companies bought Bruce's project and implemented it in Rhine Canyon, agriculture would take over, pushing the oil industry out. This would leave Jake and his fellow workers unemployed. To pass on his oil-drilling work to his son and to prevent his impending unemployment, he knocked the scientist out with a wrench before chaining him to a pipe, sliced his stomach open, and attracted a vulture with some sunflower seeds to make it kill Bruce. Judge Dante sentenced him to 25 years in jail.

Hours after the indictment, the team had to patrol the oil well again to determine if it was safe for the workers to come back and also had to keep an eye on Agent Z, who was suspected of being in Rhine Canyon for grim reasons.
