* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: At the beginning of the case, Chief King relegates Jones on paperwork duty since the residents of Maple Heights have been complaining a lot about him. Whilst his bluntness and snarkiness towards the suspects could be tolerated in places like the [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughIndustrialAreaDistrict Industrial Area]] or the [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughFinancialCenterDistrict Financial Center]] where people weren't as important or were accustomed to being treated harshly, the OldMoney UpperClassTwit elite from Maple Heights would obviously have none of that, hence why Chief King decides to punish him for once.

*ImprobableWeaponUser: The victim was killed with a hair removal laser set an maximum power.
