Rich Blood is the sixth case of Criminal Case as the sixth case of Staghaven Secrets. It is the sixth and final case to take place in Fritzham Avenue district.

Plot

Two days later after the tragic events that cost numerous lives of young women in the hands of the Chastity Killer, Casey and the player dressed up occasionally, taking the roles of The Detective respectively. Casey showed his excitement with the party considering the theme of the party to be Escape the Night as he loved the series he had seen on books and SeeTube before. As the two divulge their steps into the majestic, yet ordinary manor in the middle of the forests accompanied by trees...The two have approached the manor and opened the door, where they've met a lavish, and cheery scenery despite the place surprisingly ending up empty. With that opportunity in mind, Casey sneakily took a bunch of the buffets to eat, only to be spooked by a doll with a speaker dubbed Dale popping out and announcing The Savant may introduce himself to the detectives first as the other guests are on the other side, conversing with each other. However, The Savant had languished to emerge from the grand door, suspecting something may happen. With that, Casey and the player went through the door and took a slide to the basement, and opened a door leading to a bank vault to inspect it out, where they found the Savant...headless in his seat, and based on how he looked, it seems the body belonged to the scion of the Webberton family, Nox Webberton.

Commencing the investigation, the player and Casey eventually totter across the microbrewer from the microbrewery case not a long time ago, Mickey Trotberg who imposed the role of The Party Hustler and with no hesitation, placed him as a suspect after recognizing the victim, whom he pondered as a guest somewhat than the savant as he recalled the scion moved toward them at the living room and lied his role to be The Antique Appraiser or something. The team once again scoured the manor and learned the hairstylist we met before twice, Victoria Reese who presumed the role of The Cabaret Dancer has attended the festivity. The pair approached her exploring the stairway, surprising the hairstylist, and enthusiastically agreed to cooperate. When asked about the murder, she retorted she didn't comprehend much as they were all told to remain on the first floor previously by the strange doll Dale. And last but not least, the pair restored an emerald watch belonging to Darwin's son they've convened days ago, Antwain Moss who implied the role of The Tycoon and spoke to him afterward. The actor was astonished to see the police at the party and acknowledged he didn't know much about his bestie's death although he was aware of him being the Savant. With that, the pair returned to the living room to recap before the doors to outside went shut...and the doll Dale arose behind them and swiveled aggressively, with his eyes turning red as there was a murderous intent...with traps now visibly seen from the naked eye, destroying a miniature doll who crossed a path on the trap...and with that, the pair were trapped in big danger as the party has started...

Realizing they were trapped, the pair slowly sauntered across Dale who's about to swing the fatal blow with his hand attached to a blade...where it blew off and slammed a wall instead, leaving the doll to get stuck as the pair made their way out to the nearby door leading to the indoor gardens. There, they caught the victim's head inside the flower pot...accompanied by an injured Tamra Putnam, the fashion designer from the previous investigations implying the role of The Empress...who got her dress clutched in a bear trap, injuring her legs as it left scratches. The fashion designer thanked the pair as she panics for her life after galloping away from the aggressive doll and accidentally staggered across the trap not long heretofore. The duo eventually learned the presence of the actress, Sophia Cassidy we've met during the show host's murder investigation back then to be at the manor, assuming the role of The Sorceress. Catechizing with the actress, she flirted with Casey, causing him to blush and expressed her ambitions to amass leisure, until all hell breaks loose as the guests including her had to bypass an aggressive doll from striking.

In the middle of the investigation, Dale suddenly broke free and chased the pair again...where the duo successfully bypassed the doll once again before eventually learning Mickey had smashed the victim's portrait in anger after the incident days ago in his microbrewery, where the scion showed up drunk and accused the microbrewer of using unhealthy chemicals in front of critics, leaving the business to be tarnished. And that Antwain had a feud with his friend after Nox had made racial statements on a certain social media account, unaware that the account belonged to Antwain himself, hence why the actor gave the scion a joker card, to point he was a clown for rich people. Wrapping things up, the pair got impeded by Mickey who craves to urgently converse with the pair, revealing them a note which indicates someone had given them poison set to annihilate them at sunrise, leaving the duo to be in quake...learning the actual Escape the Night has been commencing...as the clock hits midnight...indicating time is running out...

Wasting no time, Casey and the player then re-investigated the manor for more incriminating clues and eventually discovered Nox had shamed Victoria for going out with a woman, even correlating her girlfriend to be the same degree as her late husband. The scion also lacerated Tamra's silk dress she struggled hard on, dubbing it cheap, provoking the designer to convey the scion the French Coin threat out of bitterness. And last but not least, Nox had sought to deport Sophia from the city due to his jealousy of her success. In the middle of the investigation, Shizuku had phoned the pair...informing them she had decoded a Morse code signed by the victim, saying "The deed has been done, the lethal dose would take care of those snobby abhorrences". With that statement deciphered, the dots went bound as they learned Nox had invited all of the individuals whom he felt hostility toward or the other way around to his party at the manor with an unspecified identity so he could eradicate them all, involving the detectives as he found them annoying. As time slowly ticks...the pair eventually uncovered the scion's assassin to be the fashion designer, Tamra Putnam.

As the cards unraveled The Empress to be the killer, the pair reached the fashion designer in the living room and showed the evidence. She, therefore, got hysterical at the accusations and demanded a solid explanation before the concrete evidence was shown...causing the fashion designer to give up and furiously teared up, saying Nox was a scum who deserved everything he got, especially after the scion had turned her grandfather into a serial killer. Shocked with the revelation, Casey asked whether her grandfather is Father Vazquez, to which she nodded, and that his motives were made up. The fashion designer explained ever since years ago, her grandfather was about to visit Tamra at her workshop until one day he spotted one escort had dropped her wallet, and that he wanted to return those to the original proprietor, who went inside the place she worked at, a bordello. When the pastor entered the facility, he had spotted the young Nox Webberton having sex with numerous escorts, leaving him awestruck. The scion, who refused to have his identity exposed, threatened the pastor outside the bordello and blackmailed the pastor to slay the escorts that had sex with him to eliminate the witnesses, hence after the Chastity Killer was born, and that the scion had conspired to manipulate the pastor more and more to murder escorts as the scion found it interesting...even acquainted with a fake surgeon to find more escorts to kill.

One day when the pastor refused to slay more, the scion smirked...threatening to harm his granddaughter, even so far as molesting, prompting the pastor to continue so he could protect his granddaughter from harm. Until someday Tamra had discovered her grandfather was arrested afterward, she believed he was innocent all along and desperate to scour for more information...and eventually learned Nox was behind the strings. Hence after joining the party, she was aware the manor belonged to Nox...and went straight to the vault to confront the scion...who laughed at her face, saying her grandfather was a criminal...and that he has the money and family to remain innocent, before walking away. Angered, the designer grabbed her syringe filled with chloroform and injected the scion like a stab wound, before seeing red and clenching the circular blade she had found and chopping his head with it. When told about Nox inviting everyone he loathes to the party to annihilate everyone, she admitted she didn't know...and was proud of getting rid of the problem. Transmitting the fashion designer to face Judge de Paradis, the judge complimented her fashion and looks, even showing one of her dresses she had bought...before evaluating her crimes and felt sympathy, and sentenced her to 15 years imprisonment.

Post-trial, the police, the media, and the medical team scoured into the manor...giving all of the occupants a cure to the toxin, and ensuring their safety afterward before being questioned by the police and a flock of journalists and reporters. Casey took a big breath and rode away home to take a rest after the events as the player were still energetic on their duties.

Belinda soon joins alongside the player in interrogating Father Vazquez, convicted for the murders across Fritzham Avenue as the Chastity Killer about the truth. At first, the pastor tried to act villainous before giving up, getting down on his knees and teared up as he heard the department had arrested his granddaughter for the slaying of his blackmailer. He then confessed all of his killings were a direct order from the late Nox Webberton, and that he regretted killing them as he feared God wouldn't accept his murderous spirit to heaven, and that he had cut short numerous young lives. Wanting to redeem himself, he tipped off the pair about him and his granddaughter planning to donate to the charity but wasn't able to as he and Tamra were both arrested and tinted their names as murderers, and so he pleaded for the pair to donate with their names. The pair then dug across the living room for Tamra's belongings as she may maintain one of the charity cards incorporating a high quantity of cash. Grabbing one of the cards, Belinda remembered a Hungarian cyborg and art collector named Patrickifus Totalus were raising a charity for those who suffered poverty and donated the card to the collector, who smiled as he greeted the pair in an old accent...before giving dandy clothing as a reward for their heart of gold.

On the other hand, Antwain requested to meet up with the player regarding his father, Darwin. And that he wanted to apologize for his harsh behavior towards his father as he believed he was just raged...and wanted to accept Darwin as his father despite his past. However, Antwain asked for an idea on how to apologize differently, before reaching to eureka and suggested the player assist him in searching for purple hyacinths as it symbolizes forgiveness according to the botanical article he'd read online through his tablet. The duo scoured through the gardens and eventually found one before giving those to Darwin after a slight evaluation from Alexis whether its safe or not, where the profiler was shocked to see his son before crying, knowing his son would throw nasty remarks until the actor gave a basket of purple hyacinths, and hugged him...asking for an apology. The two then reunited for good as Darwin accepted the apology, and the Moss family was refurbished to be further benign.

Before ending all of the tiring events, suddenly the Chief earned a letter from a deceased relative, giving her the spooks as she never expected those before Belinda explained that her relative may be an undead revenant...confusing the player as they believed those are mythological. Belinda, understanding the player may not into those yet, unveiled the topic in a more...throughout the detail, elucidating the city does not include only humans and cyborgs, but other creatures such as revenants, man-made humans, monsters, creatures, shapeshifters, and more. The chief and the player then arrived at the park, where she eventually saw her undead cousin, a Canadian infantryman who was slain during the Vietnam War in 1971 and returned from the dead to find peace named Jérémy Wilson, greeting her whilst carrying a corgi on his hand. He then illustrated his reasons why he'd arrived, telling them he wanted to show them something he had dug on during his trip to the park yesterday and showed them a journal belonging to a stock executive regarding an unsolved manner there, before excusing himself to leave as he wanted to play with animals more as that was his quirk, and reasons to return to Earth...and to make his boyfriend, Christopher who works as a scientist...happy. The pair conveyed the journal to Quang since Darwin was busy with his family, where the student scrolled through the contents..and clarified the journal marks the notorious incident back then in Cavendish Markets, where an anonymous group was accused of embezzling a vast multitude of bills on the stock market, causing a huge crash that nearly lead to poverty. Interested in cracking another mystery on the city, Chief Murloch tasked the department to arrive at the Cavendish Markets tomorrow...to find out the mysteries behind the stock crash and the anonymous group...
