** One-Tooth Sam's long lost treasure is [[Film/Titanic1997 a necklace with a heart-shaped diamond (albeit that it is red instead of blue)]]. Sam's speech about going from RichesToRags is even similar to the one Old Rose gives in an extended version of the ending.

*LoopholeAbuse: Marconi files a restraining order forbidding Jones to come near him or his club. What does Jones do? He sends the player character and Ramirez to Marconi instead, since the terms of the restraining order only explicitly speak to Jones.

[[caption-width-right:350:At least that's one less ArcVillain to deal with.]]
Salvador Cordero, leader of [[GangBangers The Vipers]], is found dead in his own headquarters.
!!Tropes:
*AccidentalMisnaming: [[TheDitz Ramirez]] calls Marconi "Linguini" and "Tortellini" in the span of few seconds. He's not amused.
*AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: One of the crime scenes is a sewer.
*AssholeVictim: Needless to say, no one is saddened by Cordero's death. Even Ash, a member of his gang, calls him an idiot and says he's glad for his death.
*AttemptedRape: Cordero tried to rape Ginger after dragging her to The Vipers' headquarters, but Marconi managed to stop him. [[GrievousBottleyHarm Bloodily.]]
*BackForTheFinale: [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase01TheDeathOfRosaWolf Ash Bison]], [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase03TheGrimButcher One-Tooth Sam]], [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase06GoodCopDeadCop Ginger]], [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase08BeautifulNoMore Marconi]], and [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase09BurnedToTheBone Troy Cassidy]] all return for this case, which is the last one of the Industrial Area district.
*BerserkButton: Seeing a man hit a woman is a big no-no for Marconi.
--'''Marconi:''' I'm sorry, but by assaulting Ginger, Salvador gave up his right to be called human. Which, in my book, also means giving up the right to live.
*CallBack: One of the killer's traits is that they use hand sanitizer, something that also happened in [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase05ARussianCase Case 5]]. This actually ends up being helpful for catching Marconi.
-->'''Jones:''' In the Russian case files, we highlighted all the suspects who used hand sanitizer and the list included Tony Marconi! This means he must be the killer!
*TheClimax: For the MobWar StoryArc, being the last case set on the Industrial Area district.
*EveryoneIsASuspect: Jones is quite saddened that both Ginger and One-Tooth Sam are suspects.
-->'''Jones:''' First Ginger, now Sam... <Player's name>, I can't believe our friends are now our suspects!
*{{Foreshadowing}}: In Chapter 1, Ginger asks you to not be so hard on Marconi since "he's not that bad, at least with women." When you arrest him for the murder, Marconi reveals he killed Cordero because he was abusing Ginger.
*GrievousBottleyHarm: How Marconi kills Cordero.
*HeelFaceTurn: Troy disbands The Skulls and quits gang life to become a mechanic at the end of the case.
*HollywoodRestrainingOrder: Marconi puts a restraining order on Jones, ''a police officer'', for apparently being obsessed with him. [[StalkerWithoutACrush Not that he's wrong]].
*LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Mayor Howard Johnson is introduced, congratulating the player for putting an end to the MobWar and Marconi's schemes.
*LeaningOnTheFourthWall: One again, Jones refers to a previous case by its in-game name.
-->'''Jones:''' <Player's name>, this hand sanitizer business reminds me of [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase05ARussianCase the Russian Case]] [[CallBack where it was a vital piece of evidence!]]
*NearRapeExperience: {{Subverted}}. According to Ginger, Cordero stopped at last minute while trying to rape her, but she's just lying to hide the fact that Marconi is the one who saved her by killing Cordero.
*NotSoDifferentRemark: Marconi tries to evoke this with Jones after his arrest, though he only receives a ShutUpHannibal from him.
*{{Pun}}: After Ginger tells you she carries around a screwdriver for protection.
-->'''Ginger:''' I guarantee you, with this tool, nobody screws me around!
*RagsToRiches: One-Tooth Sam becomes one of the richest men in Grimsborough after you return back his jewel at him.
*RealityEnsues: Even if it's a HollywoodRestrainingOrder and he probably did so because he actually was the killer, it's obvious that sooner or later Marconi would grow tired of you and Jones harassing him every time someone related to the gangs or mafia died.
*SheCleansUpNicely: One-Tooth Sam goes from [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2_348.png this]] to [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2_51.png this]] after [[RagsToRiches recovering his fortune.]]

*WhoMurderedTheAsshole: The reason why this murder is so complicated for the team is the fact that every suspect absolutely hated Cordero.

*WouldntHitAGirl: Marconi.
