Bigger Fish to Fry is a case featured in Criminal Case as the ninth case of the season. It is featured as the third case set in the Cascade Cove district of Aurelia.
Plot[]
Following Ricky Harris’s expedition to the fishermen’ island of Miracle’s Point, the player and Lydia landed on the local beach only to find a local fisherman named Milo Ashworth, found roasted over a fire. Dominic was able to confirm that Milo was indeed roasted to death with the rotisserie. The two detectives then suspected fisherman Louis Pledge, fish seller Gianna Gallardo and community leader Augustino Faraldo. They then soon discovered that a filming crew had taken up part of the island for filming, where they suspected camerawoman Daisy Grill and director Lawrence Peterson. After a while, they stopped Daisy Grill from wrecking the film location crime scene. The team were eventually able to arrest Augustine for the murder.
The community leader denied burning Milo to death until faced with the overwhelming amount of evidence. Augustine confirmed that Milo was a traitor to the culture of the island, inviting filmmakers and directors to film on the island, destroying the wildlife. He explained that he believed the punishment for traitors was death, so he burned Milo to make him an example and a warning to the rest of the community. In court, Judge Rodriguez was furious at the killer and decided that he should be sentenced to thirty years in jail with mandatory counselling sessions.
After the trial, the team learned that Ricky Harris and Yvonne Malstaire had starting shooting at each other. In order to put a truce deal for Ricky, Yvonne directed them to find a key at the filming location to restore before heading to the beach to dig up a treasure chest filled with gold. They then offered it to Ricky as a truce while they continued their search into the king’s treasure.
After Augustino helped the player elect Gianna as the community’s new leader, the team headed back to Cascade Cove’s mainland to search for more clues about the location of the king’s treasure.
