The Ghost of Grimsborough is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the twenty-fifth 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 painter named Wilhelm Moss, who dropped dead as he was finishing a painting of The Mad Pilgrim. The killer turned out to be a wealthy collector named Patrick Rufio, who killed Wilhelm with a neurotoxin (a poison that affects the nervous system) ampoule when the victim was about to finish the painting of The Mad Pilgrim.
Patrick was getting poor day by day. Since Wilhelm had no marks on his body and his death seemed to be of no cause, everyone believed that The Mad Pilgrim's ghost had killed him, thus making valuable framework. The valuable painting belonged to Patrick and he wanted to sell it for money and make profit. For this reason, Patrick killed Wilhelm.
For the murder of Wilhelm, Patrick was sentenced to life in jail.
