Wrapped Up in Murder is the eighty-eighth case of Criminal Case and the thirteenth case of Belcoast. It takes place in Viceway Metropolis, appearing as the seventh case of the district.
Plot[]
The team made their way to the bank, following the trail of bribes they picked up on. But upon arriving, the bank teller informed them of a dead body in the lobby. They quickly ran in, and found the body of website developer Jamison Yates, bound with rope and wrapped in wrapping paper like a present, the latter of which was confirmed by Van to be the murder weapon, used to suffocate Jamison to death.
They began by suspecting mall owner Uriel Ingram, Shadow Thieves leader Rex Austin and mall shopper Kelly Trevino. Later on the team got word from Contessa and the Shadow Thieves the victim had been part of some back alley deals not long before he was murdered.
Contessa pointed them to an abandoned warehouse where the victim was recently spotted, and given the evidence it was discovered that was where he was originally murdered before being brought to the bank. They also found evidence to suspect pastry chef Jean-Christophe Aubert and t-shirt salesman Griffin Hale. Along the way they discovered Jamison had been giving money to Uriel to promote his website, though the latter had been requesting more than the victim could give him. On top of that, Kelly and him had been dating, but he broke up with her after maxing out his credit card. Eventually Rex approached the team informing them hasn't been totally honest with them about their investigation.
Rex informed them he had actually been tracking the victim for days, and had confirmation that he was working with the actual thief; he only kept it a secret because he didn't trust the police enough to keep it, and risked his team getting discovered. Though after their previous investigation, Rex figured he'd trust them with this info, and promised not to keep anymore secrets. Meanwhile, they found out Jean-Christophe wanted to advertise his work but Jamison refused to work with someone "so old". And Griffin had a rivalry with the victim as the latter wanted to buy his shop, while the former had been more financially successful for the longest time. Eventually they uncovered Jamison's killer to be Jean-Christophe.
The chef scoffed at their accusations, but eventually gave up and informed them they were too late in stopping them. Jean-Christophe told them he was cooperating with the real thief in framing the Shadow Thieves and trying to keep them off their trail, Jamison was actually working with them. However, Jamison got too greedy and demanded more money from their heists or he'd go to the police. The mastermind then ordered Jean-Christophe to kill off Jamison and keep the police off their trail while they ensured the trail went cold. Jean-Christophe then confronted Jamison and suffocated him with wrapping paper, before wrapping him up in a present and leaving them in the bank, whilst the mastermind got rid of any evidence involving them. At trial, Jean-Christophe Aubert refused to say anything regarding the real thief's identity, so Judge Davenport sentenced the greedy chef to life in prison with no parole. Following the trial, Rex said he managed to find some evidence about the thief's identity.
