Back to Water is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the eighth case as well as the city of Alpha Bay, and the first one to take place in the Alpha Shore district.

Plot

Troy asked the player if they wanted to have a walk around the beach. As the player agreed, they went to the beach only to find professional diver Susie McAlister lying dead with an arrow in her back.

Troy decided to be the player's sidekick in the investigation. They then flagged local resident Lane Dixon as a suspect who was angry at the victim for not teaching her scuba diving. Meanwhile, university student Danny Moto and scuba diver Valerie Green became suspects as well. Danny went at the opera with the victim the previous night and on the other hand, Valerie used to bully the victim almost everyday as Susie was a newbie in her words.

Eva said that the killer hit Susie directly in the heart using a crossbow. She then confirmed that the killer was skilled with a crossbow since they killed her from a distance, which was hard to do for a newbie. Soon after, just when Troy and the player started to recap, lifeguard supervisor Ray Wayber called them to inform that Susie was at the underground hotel just before her death.

The team then investigated the hotel and decided to flag Ray and mathematician Noby Foreman as suspects. Ray offered Susie to be a lifeguard the previous day which she rejected and on the other hand, Noby was sad as he was the victim's fiancée. However, the team investigated further and discovered that Lane was spreading rumors about the victim. The victim also took up a fight with Valerie as she couldn't tolerate her bullying anymore.

Soon afterwards, the team went back to the underground hotel and discovered that Danny was angry at Susie as she had abandoned Danny while scuba diving a few years ago. On the other hand Ray tried to sue the victim so that she couldn't dive anymore. Noby also decided to leave Alpha Shore, making the victim sad.

Shortly after, the team maaged to gather enough evidence to arrest....
