[[caption-width-right:350:An AgonizingStomachWound indeed.]]

A barge driver stumbles upon the body of a junkie named Dan Broke at the docks of the Industrial Area.

!!Tropes:
*AgonizingStomachWound: According to his killer, Dan slowly bled to death after being stabbed by him.
*ApatheticCitizens: Gloria doesn't seem much fazed about one of his tenants being dead.

-->'''Jones:''' [[LampshadeHanging Your grief is touching, Gloria.]]
*BreatherEpisode: InUniverse. Jones assures the player that this murder is not as gruesome [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase03TheGrimButcher as the last one]], so you don't have to be reluctant about solving it.
*CrankyLandlord: Gloria Roach, the superintendent of the apartment building where the victim lived.
*DrugsAreBad: The case's theme. The victim, Dan Broke, was a junkie who ended up murdered over a drug debt of ''$2000'', and his girlfriend is pretty much the same. Fortunately, [[RecoveredAddict she appears to turn her life around at the end]].
*EarlyBirdCameo: Joshua Kempe and his barbershop are mentioned before they properly debut in [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase10UnderTheKnife Case 10]].
**[[GangBangers The Vipers]] are also mentioned again, with their leader, Salvador Cordero, making an appearance in a photo provided by [[TheInformant Bart Williams]] before he debuts in [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase09BurnedToTheBone Case 9]].
*EvilRedhead: Bulldog —a drug dealer and the murderer— is a redhead. His hair color is even used as a piece of evidence against him, since the victim had traces of it on his fingernails.
*FlippingTheBird: Bulldog towards Jones and the player after his interrogation. Unfortunately for him, this ends up being used against him since by this point they already knew the killer was left-handed, which is the hand Bulldog used to flip them off.
*GrudgingThankYou: Sally after Jones and the player offer themselves to look for her antidepressants.
*HorribleHousing: The victim and his girlfriend live in a run-down apartment with barely any commodities.
*TheInformant: Bart Williams.
-->'''Jones:''' I guess we don't have any other choice... We must go see Bart. He's our snitch in Caribou Corner; knows everything that's happening there.
*INeverSaidItWasPoison: Jones tries to [[InvokedTrope invoke this]] with the victim's girlfriend, although she manages to provide a convincing excuse.
-->'''Sally:''' Alright! Me and Dan were dating. But I hadn't seen him in days, and I don't know who killed him!
-->'''Jones:''' ...you know, we never told you Dan had been murdered.
-->'''Gloria:''' Why else would you be here? Cops only pay attention to people like us when we're DEAD!
*RecoveredAddict: Sally after the case is solved and she returns with her parents.
