The Summoning is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the twenty-sixth case of the game as well as in the city of Grimsborough. It takes place in the Historical Center, a district based in Grimsborough.

Plot

Upon Ramirez's reports of a murder, the player and Jones headed to a local crypt, where they found the body of Cooper High student Simon Armstrong, who was found lying dead in his own blood with occult symbols carved into his chest.

The detectives investigated the local cemetery after getting a call from there about Simon's murder, which turned out to be from high-schooler Elvira Milton. The detectives were then spooked by a sleep-deprived Ramirez, which Jones believed was a zombie before he realized his mistake. After Ramirez directed the detective back to the crypt to investigate again before the cleaning service cleaned up the scene, they found enough evidence to incriminate the victim's friend and high-schooler Ophelia Lincoln for the murder.

Ophelia admitted that she had a mental illness and suffered from lapse of memory. One night, while she was in a crypt helping Simon, she suddenly had a nightmare and saw all sorts of weird things. She was out of her mind, and as a result, she killed Simon without any involved thinking. Since Ophelia had no control over her actions due to her illness, Judge Hall sentenced her to stay three years at the Grimsborough Psychiatric Hospital, at the end of which the court would re-evaluate the sentence given to her.

After the trial, Jones and the player helped librarian Constance Bell identify ketchup on a seemingly "bloodstained" book and prevented high schooler Steven Crowe from returning to the crypt illegally. Alex also joined the player in helping Elvira return the soul of the Baron Salvadore back to his eternal rest.

Trivia

  • This case and The Wollcrafts' Creature are the only cases in the Historical Center in which none of the suspects from Dog Eat Dog make an appearance. Curiously, Constance Bell was the one to as a suspect in both.
  • Michael Jackson was referenced twice during this case. In the "Crypt" crime scene, one of the tombstones to the left has the name J. Michael, the second reference is an image of him wearing the same outfit from the Thriller music video.
  • The Necronomicon is also a fictional book appearing in the stories by horror writer H. P. Lovecraft and his followers. Among other things, the work contains an account of the "Old Ones" (some ancient primordial beings), their history, and the means for summoning them.
  • This is a case where every suspect's blood type is negative.
