**Suspend One's Disbelief** is a case featured in Criminal Case Third Line: World Dominant, appearing as the 47th case of the game. It is the fifth case set in South America.

## Plot

Since people were quarantined from the fearsome Veronavirus, Anabel and the player headed to Denver'a Municipal Market to grill former anarchist Bruce Denver about The Seven Deadly Sins and his early release from prison by Charlotte's bailed. In the market however, they found Bruce and Charlotte's father, Kenneth Denver, with his face burned to death by hot cooking oil.

The five people were labelled as suspects: Bruce Denver (wealthy anarchist), Carlos-Jorge Guerreiro (soccer coach), Carlota Ribeiro (socialite), Hank C. Leatherwood (PlayCenter CEO), and Bipasha Gupta (erotic actress).

Mid-investigation, Shaheen found a "secret room" under the villa, which turned out to just be the villa's kitchen. Later, Barry and soccer coach Carlos-Jorge Guerreiro had an argument over autograph from famous Brazilian player, Ricardo Silva. They then found enough evidence to arrest socialite Carlota Ribeiro (aka The Anger) for the murder.

Admitting to the murder, Carlota said that her family had gone broke after a series of bad investments caused from Veronavirus. She then borrowed Kenneth for money, which she gladly gave. However, jealous that the Ribeiro mansion was featured on the cover of black wall and The Wrath's symbol, Kenneth realize that Carlota has joined The Wrath's cult following and demanded the money back from her. Not having money to repay the debt yet and realizing that their friendship was contingent on Kenneth's feeling of superiority over her, Carlota knocked him out with an ashtray during an argument and burned his face to death with hot cooking oil in revenge. Judge Palamo then sentenced her to 37 years in prison.

During The Immortal Sin (5/6), Anabel and the player searched the kitchen to continue their investigation into The Seven Deadly Sins. There, they found a dictaphone which (per Henry) contained recordings of Denver crying in expressing his disappointment in his sister's imprisonment and saying that The Pride, their criminal lord, still had "Supraomega VRN-32", an upgrading man-made virus, to turn to. When they confronted Denver about the recording however, he refused to talk about the plan.

Meanwhile, Bipasha Gupta asked Kevin and the player to find her "stalker". After searching Denver's Municipal Market again for clues, the team found an agenda, which (per Hisao) belonged to his girlfriend, Sonia Kobayashi, whom the team then helped reunite with Hisao.

After all the events, the Russian Prime Minister Grigory Gorbachev announced that the new vaccine for the Veronavirus, Remediviral, is officially ready to start the clinical trial on indigenous patients. Then, the Bureau headed to Santa Marta, Columbia, to discussed their plans to learn more about Supraomega VRN-32 before getting interrupted by a woman's loud scream.
