** Marconi also gets his fair share of protagonism in this district, as the police department arrives to The Greens with the purpose of investigating his business and how he's connected with Zoe's disappearance. And while nothing is truly made clear by the end besides the fact Marconi's security company is the one guarding the fallen satellite for [=DreamLife=], it's safe to say the former mobster is now on an EnemyMine relationship with the police.

'''The Greens''' is the third district investigated in VideoGame/CriminalCaseTheConspiracy.

The Greens is the formerly dodgy Industrial Area. But now it holds plenty of tech startups. Much like that odd [=Dreamlife=]. The district focuses on learning about Marconi's activities and his connections to Zoe's disappearance. It also focuses on [=Dreamlife=]'s new VR game and people's addiction to it.

''VideoGame/CriminalCaseTheConspiracy''.

Previously known as the [[UrbanHellscape dodgy and crime-infested]] [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughIndustrialAreaDistrict Industrial Area]],
The Greens is has gone through what's possibly the formerly dodgy Industrial Area. But now it holds plenty biggest amount of changes in all of Grimsborough over the past five years: [[HeelFaceTown gangs, poverty, and illegal drugs have been mostly eradicated]], tech startups. Much like that odd [=Dreamlife=]. The startups and trendy business such as smoothie bars and microbreweries are now a prominent sight, and {{Hipster}}s have flooded and radically gentrified the district so much the whole neighborhood might as well be an entirely different location.

But despite that, murder and shady ordeals still seem to be at the order of the day.

The Greens primarily
focuses on learning about Tony Marconi's activities and supposedly honest business in the district, as well as investigating his seemingly connections to Zoe's disappearance. It with Zoe Kusama's disappearance as discovered [[Recap/CriminalCaseTheConspiracyMoneyMileDistrict in the previous one]]. In addition, it also focuses on [=Dreamlife=]'s new VR game dealing with [=DreamLife=], a tech firm whose true intentions and people's addiction to it.

* ArcVillain: Rozetta Pierre, founder of [=Dreamlife=] and creator of new VR game that has been getting people dangerously addicted to it.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Rupert and Amir gets a focus here, as Rupert becomes addicted to the new VR game and Amir is forced to take over most of the lab analyzes.

to:

* ArcVillain: Rozetta Pierre, Pierre is an {{Implied}} example. While she's the founder of [=Dreamlife=] [=DreamLife=] and the creator of a new VR game that has been getting people dangerously addicted to it, the district ends with her true involvement [[AmbiguouslyEvil being left entirely ambiguous]] when not only she excuses herself claiming that the addiction-inducing "bug" wasn't officially authorized and the responsible party has already been fired, but also provides you with the means of getting its victims back to normal without asking for anything in return. As such, The Greens is left [[NoAntagonist with no established antagonist]] until [[spoiler:[[EvilAllAlong Rozetta's evilness and direct involvement with the bug]] are properly confirmed]] [[Recap/CriminalCaseTheConspiracyMistyGroveDistrict a few districts later]].
*AmbiguouslyEvil: A recurring theme throughout the district is that the player and the police department are unsure of who's to be trusted. Are those [[ReformedCriminal former criminals running honest businesses]] truly reformed or not? Is Marconi being genuine when he says his security company operated by former gangsters has nothing shady going on behind scenes? And what about [=DreamLife=], the tech giant releasing addiction-inducing VR games to the market while trying to hide their involvement with the fallen satellite and Marconi's company?
*BreatherEpisode: After already having to deal with [[Recap/CriminalCaseTheConspiracyFairviewDistrict a serial killer]] and [[Recap/CriminalCaseTheConspiracyMoneyMileDistrict the immediate aftermath of a devastating earthquake]], The Greens instead offers a nice change of pace with a low-stakes plot devoid of much conflict besides Jones' already established beef with Marconi, and not only TheClimax's killer ends up being far more sympathetic ([[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse albeit still in the wrong]]) than the previous two, but the AmbiguouslyEvil ArcVillain of the district is also much less troublesome than her predecessors. [[spoiler:[[BigBad At least for this portion of the game, that's
it.]]]]
* ADayInTheLimelight:
**Rupert and Amir gets a fair amount of focus in The Greens, as Rupert's addiction to [=DreamLife's=] VR game and Amir's increased workload because of it end up being an important subplot for the storyline.
**Marconi also gets his fair share of protagonism in this district, as the police department arrives to The Greens with the purpose of investigating his business and how he's connected with Zoe's disappearance. And while nothing is truly made clear by the end besides the fact Marconi's security company is the one guarding the fallen satellite for [=DreamLife=], it's safe to say the former mobster is now on an EnemyMine relationship with the police.
*HeelFaceTown: Thanks to [[RagsToRiches One-Tooth Sam]] using his fortune to gentrify it over the course of five years, the [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughIndustrialAreaDistrict Industrial Area]] has gone from being a poverty, crime, and gang-infested UrbanHellscape to a modernized neighborhood thriving with life and security, full of trendy business and tech startups that have attracted lots of young people and {{Hipster}}s who now live in The Greens.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Rupert and Amir gets a focus here, as Rupert becomes addicted *{{Hipster}}: Thanks to the new vast gentrification and modernization of the district, most of its inhabitants and suspects you meet here are this.
*JustOneMoreLevel: One of the main focuses of the district is dealing with an addiction-inducing
VR game that has been turning people into truants who, in order to keep continuously playing, neglect their health and Amir is forced to take over most basic necessities and outright turns them aggressive if they're deprived of their headset. It's eventually revealed the lab analyzes.game was specifically programmed to induce this effect on its player.
*RecurringCharacter: The main recurring characters for The Greens are [[InsufferableGenius Rozetta Pierre]], [[ReformedCriminal Tony Marconi]], [[ByTheBookCop Officer Tim Cooper]], [[CannotTellFictionFromReality Annie Schmidt]], and to a lesser extent [[{{Mascot}} Juniper]].
*ShoutOut: The Additional Investigation for the district is called "[[Music/{{Queen}} Is This Just Fantasy?]]"
*{{Tomorrowland}}: Thanks to the amount of tech startups and genius inventors that have gentrified the district, The Greens now serves as the main source of innovation and technology in Grimsborough, a great contrast to the regressive UrbanHellscape it was [[Recap/CriminalCaseTheConspiracyMoneyMileDistrict five years ago]].
*TwoLinesNoWaiting: The Greens focuses both on investigating Tony Marconi's business and ties with Zoe's disappearance, and also dealing with [=DreamLife's=] VR game that has been making players too dependent beyond a simple addiction.
