– Case Teaser

**Bloods in a Teapot** is a case featured in Criminal Case Third Line: World Dominant, appearing as the 26th case of the game. It is the second case set in East Asia.

## Plot

The player came across Kevin in Beijing on his way to work. The two then took a shortcut through Great Wall of China where they found old man Yang Wu, who was bashed on the head with teapot.

The five people were labelled as suspects: Yang Yaling (victim's daughter), KAIba (K-pop singer), Han Juan (victim's nurse), Eugene Zhao (clothes owner), and Chai Jiahao (executive manager).

While searching for investigations, Kevin and the player found the name card of Grayson Croft he lost it before his death. After they find out that Grayson was murdered for attempt of stealing Dragon Mask from Temple of Tenshou, they were trapped in the room filled with spiders. The player managed to break the back door and the two escaped from dangerous place.

Mid-investigation, K-pop singer KAIba left Cyan Lotus tea shop without paying for the clothes shop. Later, executive manager Chai Jiahao threatened to kill clothes owner Eugene Zhao with scissors, claiming he helped the victim cheat at lottery by sewing extra pockets into his suit. Soon afterward, the team found enough evidence to arrest Eugene for the murder.

Upon admitting to the murder, Eugene said that when his father passed down the fashion business to him, profits began plummeting, only compounded by the fact that Yang Wu was badmouthing the business as well not paying for his suits. To prevent his business from failing any further, Eugene bashes him on his head with teapot as he unraveled. Judge Palamo sentenced him to 20 years in prison.

During An Impossible Sin (2/6), Yang Yaling, the victim's daughter, told Anabel and the player that her father's will stated that all his money would go to Seven Deadly Sins. The Bureau then went to Cyan Lotus and found a DVD from the cult in Wu's belongings. Per Henri, the DVD was a recruitment video proving that new recruits cut ties with their friends and family and gave all their worldly possessions to the cult. Anabel and the player then went to the cult's headquarters, where they talked to The Greed's cult adjunct and infamous ronin Kazama Seiji, who claimed that donations were not extorted, saying that they were voluntary and never forced. Seiji then gave Wu's money back, which the team promptly returned to Yaling.

Meanwhile, Kevin and the player helped Rosamund's son, Abel Davis, prepare for his three-year anniversary picnic with his girlfriend Hao, including making Hao a spy bracelet. After all the events, the Bureau took a flight to South Korea's capital to continue investigating Seven Deadly Sins.
