While waiting for Vinnie Costa to testify against Vittorio Capecchi and his illegal business in Coyote Gorge, Maddie and the player decide it's almost time and go to his room in the Fat Chance Saloon so they can escort him to trial. Unfortunately, things turn for the worse when they find Vinnie's lifeless body in the room's bath, dead after having his throat slashed with a broken glass bottle.
!!Tropes:
*AfterActionPatchup: After the first showdown against Vittorio and his goons, Evie gets shot in the shoulder and has to be tended by Dick for the rest of the Additional Investigation, appearing bandaged up after having the bullet extracted.
*BottomlessMagazines: {{Subverted}}. During the Flying Squad's showdown against TheMafia, both parties have to stop to reload and find more ammunition before engaging on a second round.
*CallBack: [[Recap/CriminalCaseMysteriesOfThePastCase25DeathWithoutParole Catastrophe Joan]], [[Recap/CriminalCaseMysteriesOfThePastCase26GivingUpTheGhost Franca Capecchi]], and [[Recap/CriminalCaseMysteriesOfThePastCase27LittleMurderOnThePrairie Clay Westwood]] reappear as suspects. [[Recap/CriminalCaseMysteriesOfThePastCase24SlayersEnd Katherine Woolf]] also briefly reappears during the Additional Investigation.
*{{Cliffhanger}}: The case ends with the Flying Squad chasing a wounded Vittorio to his hacienda after having escaped from their showdown, intending to arrest him and end his reign of terror over Coyote Gorge once and for all.
*ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Being a saloon owner in the middle of the Wild East, Alberto is already familiarized with death, which is why he doesn't flinch when you inform him about Vinnie's murder.
-->'''Alberto:''' Lady, this is [[TheWildWest Coyote Gorge]]. You can't take a leak without wizzin' on a dead body.
*ContinuityNod: [[Recap/CriminalCaseMysteriesOfThePastCase06InTheNameOfTheFather The death of Vinnie's father at the hands of Father Donovan]] is brought up again.
*ConvenientlyTimedDistraction: The killer set up an explosive trap with cans and gunpowder to distract Rose (who was mounting guard in Vinnie's room) and get the chance to murder Vinnie.
*DeadlyBath: Vinnie was killed while taking a bath in a bathtub.
*IDidWhatIHadToDo: Clay justifies Vinnie's murder with this, claiming that he had to kill him or else his testimony against Vittorio would be detrimental to Coyote Gorge's "gentrification" plan that Vittorio brainwashed his followers with
*EnemyMine: Rose and Joan decide to set aside their differences and join forces to take down Vittorio during the showdown against him and his goons, as both of them despise him.
*GirlsWithMoustaches: During one of her analyses, Viola is seen sporting a fake mustache she's using for one of her upcoming plays.
*GoshDangItToHeck: Joan calls Vittorio a "slippery son of a gun" during one of her interrogations.
*HeKnowsTooMuch: Clay killed Vinnie because he knew about Vittorio's affairs and this testimony would've ruined the supposed "great plans" he has for Coyote Gorge, as Clay believes Vittorio is going to improve everyone's lives with the railroad without considering the fact that he's driving people out of their homes.
*HorseJump: Clay sent a threatening message to Vinnie because he injured his horse when Vinnie tried to escape Benjamin's farm with one of these.
*LockedRoomMystery: Vinnie's death becomes this due to his room being completely locked from the inside at the time of his murder and the only persons with keys to his room being Rose and Alberto. As it turns out, the killer stole Alberto's master key, murdered Vinnie after unlocking the room, then locked it again.
*MistakenForRomance: When you find a photo of Franca and Vinnie looking at each other affectionately, Maddie is inclined to believe they were having an affair behind Vittorio's back. However, Franca clarifies that Vinnie was just a close family friend, and you find nothing to dispute those claims.
*MushroomSamba: Evie gets high on anesthesia after Dick treats her bullet wound, leading her to see Katherine with an unicorn and accidentally confess her feelings for her.
*NonNudeBathing: Vinnie was taking a bath with his boots put on at the time of his murder. According to Dick, cowboys like to bathe with their hats and boots on so they're ready to run in an emergency.
*OhNoNotAgain: [[Recap/CriminalCaseMysteriesOfThePastCase26GivingUpTheGhost Just like her previous encounter]], Franca has this reaction when you interrogate her as a suspect.
-->'''Franca:''' Mamma mia! You people again! I can't throw a macaroni away without you showing up!
*OneOfOurOwn: Rose becomes a suspect in this case due to her being one of the few people capable of entering Vinnie's room, as she was supposed to be bodyguarding him before his trial.
*OnlyAFleshWound: Evie manages to recover pretty quickly from her bullet wound, only requiring Dick to extract the bullet and bandage her. She still gets high on the anesthesia though.
*ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Vittorio sends a live rattlesnake inside of a package to the Flying Squad as a warning, something that horrifies Evie and Maddie. However, Dick finds it fascinating and decides to keep it.
*SaloonOwner: Alberto Salucci, the owner of the Fat Chance Saloon Vinnie was staying in, appears as a suspect.
*ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The residents of the town the case takes place pack everything and run to safety for unknown reasons until you discover it's because Vittorio and his goons are in town and want to challenge the Squad to a duel.
*ShipperOnDeck: Diego appears to be very supportive of Evie and Katherine's growing relationship, telling Maddie that "some rest and romance" should be enough to cure her of her bullet wound.
*ShoutOut:
** During his arrest, Clay Westwood says that "Capecchi was going to [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump make Coyote Gorge great again]]."
** One of the killer's traits is being a Creator/BuffaloBill fan.
** ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'' is quoted.
*ShowdownAtHighNoon: Vittorio challenges the entire Flying Squad to one of these during the Additional Investigation, with Isaac, Maddie, Rose, and the player engaging on a gunfight against him and his goons. The battle ends with both Evie and Vittorio getting non-lethally shot and the latter escaping to his hacienda.
*SinsOfOurFathers: Catastrophe Joan confesses that she wanted to kill Vinnie because his father murdered a friend of hers when he was still alive and wanted to enact revenge on his son.
*SixthRanger: During the Additional Investigation, Diego tells you that he intends to become this for the Flying Squad, wanting to submit a petition to join the organization as a consultant.
*SkeletonKey: Clay managed to enter Vinnie's room and create a LockedRoomMystery by stealing Alberto's master key which allowed him to unlock every room in the saloon.
*SlashedThroat: How Vinnie was killed, courtesy of a broken bottle.
*SpitTake: Franca does this with a glass of alcohol when you ask her if she was having an affair with Vinnie, spitting most of it in Maddie's face.
*TemptingFate: Isaac says one at the beginning of the case regarding Vinnie and Rose.
-->'''Isaac:''' Thanks to Vinnie Costa feeling remorse for accidentally killing one such farmer on Vittorio's orders, we've now got a prime witness ready to testify against Capecchi!
-->With Rose standing guard, there's nothing to fear!
*WeUsedToBeFriends: Franca claims that Vinnie used to be a good friend of the Capecchis, who took him under their wing as a close family fiend. However, his betrayal by accepting to testify against Vittorio led to them breaking their fellowship with him.
*WhatIsThisFeeling: When Katherine visits Evie (who was still high in anesthesia), Evie says that, for some reason, she starts to feel butterflies every time she sees Katherine and doesn't know the reason.
