- Case Teaser

Candle in the Wind is a case featured in Criminal Case as the thirty-fourth of the game. It is the fourth that takes place at Historical Cresthill in New Cresthill.

Plot
Three months after avoiding the mayor's murder, the player finds himself playing chess with Mona trying to stay awake until Rogelio asked them if Israel had come to pick him up. Upon receiving a no, he took out his laptop to locate his phone and found that it was in the candle factory, which made no sense considering it was already past midnight. At his request, the duo went to the factory to see if Israel was trapped or if the phone had been stolen; however, they found him dead inside a tank of boiling wax. Priscilla revealed that Israel was pushed into the tank when the wax was boiling; considering his burns, he tried to escape but the temperature of the tank prevented him from achieving it and, eventually, he ended up drowning with boiling wax, reminding her of his sister's death in some way. They questioned stagehand Samuel Tran, philanthropist and Smileex founder Gladys Doblas and, tattoo artist Norbert Korrik. Soon after, the team received a call from Gianluca, asking for help since someone was going to kill him!
