“Back To The Glory Days” is a case featured in Criminal Case: Justice Department, it is the first case on the series and it takes place in district one, Uptown Acropolis.

Plot
After working for the police force in Grimsborough, the player moves to Acropolis, where they retire from police work. But, due to their reputation, the player is approached by Lt. Tara Wong. Wong stated that she was sent by the chief of police to ask the player to be a police consultant for the department. Automatically, the player takes the offer.

Lt. Wong takes the player to the police station. The player is greeted by Kathryn Watkins, the chief of police, meets the player, saying that she is a fan of his police work. Kathryn stated that the player will be working alongside another police consultant, Phillip Daley, who was supposed to be at work by this time. Worried, Kathryn sent Lt. Wong and the player to Phillip’s home office. Upon arrival, they found Phillip with a large stab wound in his abdomen, dead.

According to the coroner, Dr. Graham Fraser, the cause of death was determined – Phillip was impaled in the stomach with a spear as Dr. Fraser recovered the spearhead, which was lodged in his spinal cord. The spearhead was sent to be analysed by the police and archivist, Stefan Martin. Sure enough, the team allocated enough evidence to convict field officer Lt. Nick Daniels for the murder.

Typically, Lt. Daniels denied the accusations. But, when confronted with enough incriminating evidence, Lt. Daniels broke down in a rage. Lt. Daniels claimed that the police consultants have been taking the jobs of the police force – investigating, analysing and deducing, to which he states “what real policemen do”. Lt. Daniels also pried to look at Phillip’s mail, where he found an application form to join the police. Knowing that his career as a policeman will be cut short, he confronted Phillip in his home and stabbed him with the spear he took from his apartment. After the confession, Lt. Daniels was sent to court with Judge Chandler sentencing the murderous lieutenant to 65 years in prison.

After investigating, Kathryn congratulated Lt. Wong and the player for the job done. However, Kathryn discovered that Phillip had been investigating something in the rural parts of Acropolis. The player and Lt. Wong are shipped to Greenwood Natural Reserve to further investigate, ensuing an additional investigation. It was determined that Phillip had been investigating BioAlpha Corporations, which is a biology research team led by Acropolis General Hospital’s chief doctor, Dr. Damian Mallory. Dr. Mallory informed Lt. Wong and the player that his research assignment is only interested in plants that are growing in the rural area, and that him and his reasearch team are harmless.

Meanwhile, Kathryn is quite concerned about the morality of her police team. So, she asks for the player’s help to investigate Lt. Eric Wayne and Sgt. Bertie Summers. In the end, both officers are deemed to be moral. After attending Phillip’s funeral, the team are sent to the next case.
