*GutPunch: Up to this point, Criminal Case had been a fairly comedic if slightly dark adult-oriented game about solving murders without much thought being put into its twists or making them fairly run-off-the-mill, with districts having {{Happy Ending}}s at best and {{Bittersweet Ending}}s at worst. Then you arrive at the end of Maple Heights, where an arguably SuddenDownerEnding hits you in the form of Chief King committing suicide right in front of you while trying to arrest him for murder without any explanation. The final moments of the district show absolutely no one in your team being happy or doing well, including your usually bubbly and upbeat partner Jones, who is going through a hard HeroicBSOD.

Then in the game's final case, it's revealed that the true villains of the district were [[spoiler:[[BigBadDuumvirate Howard and Serena Johnson]], members of the Crimson Order who ordered Chief King to assassinate Adam after he tried to blackmail them for some of the Crimson Order's gold]].
*ADeathInTheLimelight: Chief King gains a fair amount of prominence during this district since he knows some of the residents of Maple Heights, up to becoming your partner for a handful of Additional Investigations. It's also the district where he ends up biting the dust.
