Speak of the Devil is a case featured in Criminal Case as the forty-first of the game. It is the fifth one that takes place at Aaru Grove in New Cresthill.

Plot
After they started visiting everyone who has been helped by Osiris, Chief Galdwey and the player were waiting for the call from Ethel and Norbert that would give them more identities to catch Osiris in the long term. However, at the time indicated by both, they did not receive any calls for what they called them but the line was dead. Quickly, Selena sent Evan with the player to Ethel's house to see if she and Norbert were safe. However, when they opened the door, the first thing they came across was Ethel's body face up with a noticeable wound on her head. Before they could react properly, Norbert left the kitchen with a bloodied corkscrew and, seeing both detectives next to Ethel's body, began to beg to not be arrested. Alongside him, they questioned socialite Preston Blackman and pastry shop clerk Samuel Tran. Soon after, back at the station, they both started listening to an argument so they went to see what was happening and found Rogelio and Xavier pointing guns at each other!
