[[caption-width-right:350:'''Jones:''' I can't believe we're stuck in night shift again! I thought your flawless record would spare us from it, <Player's Name>, but King cannot be swayed!]]
The body of teenager Simon Armstrong is reported inside of an old crypt, lying dead in his own blood with occult symbols carved into his chest.
!!Tropes:
*AccidentalMurder: Ophelia didn't mean to kill Simon in the first place, but her ilness made her blackout and hallucinate him as a demon, so she killed him with a dagger. Due to this, Judge Hall only sentences her to a three-year stay in a psychiatric hospital.
*AmnesiacsAreInnocent: Ophelia murdered Simon during one of her ilness-induced blackouts then forgot about it thanks to her medication.
*ApatheticCitizens: Constance seems more concerned about her stolen book than the thief who snatched it being dead.
*AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption: How Constance Bell is introduced.
-->'''Jones:''' Brr, this library always made me feel uncomfortable, ever since I was a kid! Be really careful, don't speak too loudly, or she will--
-->'''Constance:''' [[FullNameBasis DAVID JONES!]] SILENCE IN THE LIBRARY!
-->'''Jones:''' Oh, for the love of...
*ContinuityNod: Jones mentions the events of [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase20ADeadlyGame Case 20]] when you find Simon's body, thinking that he had already seen the worst of it in the torture room.
*CreepyCemetery: The victim is found in a crypt within Grimsborough Cemetery.
*DoNotCallMePaul: Steven insists on being called "Langelus".
*EnmityWithAnObject: Jones has this reaction after he encounters a book with the words "Screw you" inscribed on it.
-->'''Jones:''' Are you kidding me, did that book just insult us? Okay, that's it, I'm fed up with all this supernatural crap!
*EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Both Elvira and Ophelia, being a pair of [[NightmareFetishist Nightmare Fetishists]] who like to hang around the local CreepyCemetery. Ophelia even ends up being the killer.
*{{Foreshadowing}}: Ophelia tells you that she's under a medication whose side effects include partial memory loss, which leads her to do things without remembering them afterwards. Guess who the killer is and doesn't even remember?
*FullNameBasis: Constance always calls Jones by his full name.
*GenuineHumanHide: The Necromicon you and Jones encounter is bound with this.
*HalfArcSeason: This is the only case in the Historical Center where neither the Dog Pageant or any of its contestants are brought up before [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase31DogEatDog Case 31]], making it non-relevant to the overall plot of the district. It makes up for it by being an InnocuouslyImportantEpisode, though.
*HollywoodVoodoo: Constance tried to curse Simon with this for stealing her book. She firmly believes it worked by putting him in the path of his killer.
*InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: Despite its irrelevance to the plot of the district, this case ends up being of great importance for the Old Town (AKA the [[IHaveManyNames Historical Center]]) StoryArc in ''[[VideoGame/CriminalCaseTheConspiracy The Conspiracy]]'' five years later, since Steven Crowe returns as a very important character there.
*KillItWithFire: Jones' reaction after you encounter The Necromicon.

*NightmareFetishist: Steven, Elvira, and Ophelia are obsessed with the occult and rituals.
*OneDegreeOfSeparation: You meet radio host Alcott Milton to ask for an explanation of the occult before encountering his granddaughter Elvira Milton, who just ''happened'' to be friends with the victim and another suspect you also encountered before.
*TheOphelia: [[MeaningfulName Ophelia Lincoln]], who is mentally ill and needs to take medications whose side effects include amnesia. It's the reason why she ended up killing Simon, as she hallucinated him as a demon.
*OverprotectiveDad: Or more like ''grand''dad. Alcott disapproved Simon seeing Elvira even if they weren't dating. She even admits he's overprotective sometimes.
*RemovingTheHeadOrDestroyingTheBrain: After Jones believes Ramirez has turned into a zombie, he yells you to do this.
*RitualMagic: The victim was killed during one of these. Obviously, it didn't work.
*RunningGag: [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase25TheGhostOfGrimsborough Like the previous case]], Ramirez fully believes that the case is linked to ghosts.
-->'''Ramirez:''' We've got someone on the phone talking about the murder, I've checked the caller's ID, it's definitely coming from the cemetery! Oh my God, can ghosts even handle phones?
-->'''Jones:''' No they can't, Ramirez!
*ScaryLibrarian: Jones is absolutely scared of Constance Bell ever since he was a child.
-->'''Jones:''' And there's also Constance, the librarian, that we should talk to... No one knows more about books than her, but she scares me to death!
*ScoobyDooHoax: No, the victim didn't actually die because the RitualMagic failed and a demon came to kill him, despite what you're led to believe for most of the case.
*SeenItAll: After you speak with the [[CreepyLonerGirl Creepy Loner Girls]] in the cemetery, Jones says that nothing in the district can surprise him anymore.
