A screenshot of the laboratory section.
Laboratory is a gameplay feature in Criminal Case . It is a section of the case screen which lets the player autopsy bodies and analyze clues .
Overview
As a homicide detective, the player will come across many items of interest throughout the cases which may need to be shipped to an individual member of the lab personnel for analysis.
The analysis may take as long as 5 seconds, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 9 hours, 12 and 15 hours. For autopsies, the tutorial cases require only 5 seconds while Corpse in a Garden , Shark Attack! , God Save the Prince , Welcome to Concordia! , Snake in the Grass , Death as Old as Time , Blood Lust and Corpse Chic require 25 minutes. All other cases require 18 hours for primary autopsy jobs with the exception of Behind These Walls , which requires 12 hours. However, all sorts of autopsies and analyses can be done immediately if Instant Analysis is bought .
Once the analysis is over and the player clicks on "View Results", a short cutscene will play in which the analyst will give important information to the player, which may lead the team to events such as interrogating (as well as bringing in new) suspects , discovering certain attributes of the killer , further inspecting the clue in hand via forensic examination , etc.
