Chief Marquez orders Amy and the player to check on renowned scientist Ruth Campbell on a juice bar, since she's been receiving death threats from a stalker and has asked for protection. Once they arrive there, though, they only find Ruth's almost entirely liquefied body stuffed into blenders.

-->'''Milo:''' Of course I was angry! Just look at me: I’m a monster! My body doesn’t work right! I can only drink smoothies, and if I don’t take hormones, my organs stop working! I shouldn’t be alive!
*ArtificialHuman: The victim was working on creating these, including clones. One of her failed genetic experiments and even her own clone become suspects in this case.
*AssInAmbassador: {{Downplayed}}. Ambassador Lee is uncooperative with your investigation, but that's mostly because he fears for his life (as his "beloved leader" would kill him if he says too much) rather than being a {{Jerkass}}.
*AwfulWeddedLife: Between Ruth and Nigel, since she spent more time at the lab that with her husband. It's one of the reasons why he killed her.
-->'''Nigel:''' I loved my wife, Your Honor! But she neglected me for the sake of science. I wanted someone who was around, who was loving and caring!
*BodyHorror: Milo, one of the victim's first genetic experiments, has a green skin full of blisters and ''an arm'' sticking out of his head. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2_5740.png See for yourself.]]
*BornAsAnAdult: Despite being only a few years old, Clone!Ruth is listed as being 35.
*CloneArmy: The People's Republic of North Freonia was financing Ruth to create a clone army for them.
-->'''Amy:''' That sounds bonkers. A clone army?! This isn’t the movies!
*CloneDegeneration: Milo was one of Ruth's first attempts at making genetic experiments, which is why he suffers from a ''severe'' case of BodyHorror.
*ClonesArePeopleToo: Clone!Ruth is treated like a normal suspect throughout the case, with Amy being amazed at the fact that they're interrogating a copy of the victim.
*CloningBlues: Clone!Ruth feels uneasy at the thought of being a clone of the victim.

*CouldntFindAPen: Ruth left you a message with her own blood whilst the murderer was killing her, circling a chromosome on a map of the human genome to tell you that her killer has red hair.
*Countrystan: The People's Republic of North Freonia, a North Korea-esque country from where Ambassador Lee comes from.
*DeadPersonImpersonation: Clone!Ruth had been impersonating the real Ruth to replace her, even sleeping with her husband without him noticing.
*DoppelgangerReplacementLoveInterest: Nigel killed Ruth because he fell in love with her clone, as the real Ruth was always working on her lab whilst Clone!Ruth spent time with him.
*FaintInShock: Amy faints when she sees [[BodyHorror Milo]] for the first time.
*FauxHorrific: The only thing Roxie finds disgusting about the victim being blended and liquefied is that the killer mixed her remains with beet juice.
*{{Gorn}}: This case easily rivals [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase03TheGrimButcher The Grim Butcher]] in terms of goriness, with the victim's body being graphically liquefied in what could only be described as blood smoothies, with severed parts of her body also sticking out of the blenders used to murder her. ''Yikes.''
*HappilyAdopted: Milo gets adopted by Sister Dolly at the end of the case.
*HollywoodNuns: Sister Dolly dresses and acts like a stereotypical nun, sending threatening messages to Ruth about burning in Hell for her experiments and rejecting Milo at first for being one, though she has a change of mind later and Milo gets HappilyAdopted.
*HouseHusband: Nigel, the victim's husband, was this.
-->'''Nigel:''' She was such a brilliant scientist! I wanted her to focus on her career, to change people's lives! So I gave up my job to take care of the housework.
*MadScientist: The victim worked on creating clones and even had a business deal with the People's Republic of North Freonia, which is basically the North Korea equivalent of Criminal Case.
*MadScientistLaboratory: One of the crime scenes is Ruth Campbell's lab, which is full of clones floating in vats.
*ModifiedClone: Ruth and her clone are almost identical apart from the fact that the victim had black hair and the clone version is a redhead instead.
*MorallySuperiorCopy: Considering Clone!Ruth isn't interested in creating deformed clones and making deals with dictatorship countries, it's safe to say that she's much better than her creator.
*OnlyOneName: Both Milo and Clone!Ruth only have one name.
*PeopleJars: Ruth's lab contains clones and human experiments inside giant vats.
*SeeksAnothersResurrection: Ruth offered to "bring" Sister Dolly's back from the dead by making a clone of him, something that Dolly considered heresy.
*ScienceIsBad: At the end of the case, Clone!Ruth stops her creator's dangerous research and leaves to become an actress in Ivywood.
*ShoutOut:
** Sister Dolly is named after Dolly the cloned sheep, due to the case's plot centering on cloning.
*** Likewise, in the Research Lab scene, there is a plush sheep.
** In the Research Area scene, there is a lunchbox featuring a parody of [[Anime/MyNeighborTotoro Totoro]].
** North Freonia is a parody of North Korea.
