No Smoke Without Fire is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the twenty-ninth case of the game as well as the city of Grimsborough. It takes place in the Historical Center, a district based in Grimsborough.
Plot
The victim was a chief of Grimsborough scout, Connor Sullivan, who was found dead, tied to a bonfire in the middle of his scouts' camp.
The killer turned out to be one of Connor's scouts, Isaac Weston, who was the Eagle Scout. One day, Connor got drunk and lit a fire in a restricted zone of the camp, despite warnings from a hunter named James Savage. Isaac then saw the fire and just when he was putting it out with a branch, Connor came and started arguing with him. Without even thinking, Isaac hit Connor with the branch, and then, the victim got up and grabbed Isaac's throat. To save himself, Isaac stabbed Connor with James' knife (he had found the knife a day before in the forest). He then stabbed the victim again and again out of anger. After all this, Isaac felt guilty and tried to revive his Scoutmaster, but it was too late. He then tied the victim to a bonfire since he did not want the young scouts to see the dead body. A while later, when Isaac came back after returning James' knife to his shack for framing him, the rain had already started and the bonfire was extinguished, while the young scouts, including Ayden Young, were staring at Connor's body with fear in their eyes.
Isaac was sentenced to 15 years in jail with a chance for parole in 7 years.
