- "The racing match ends up exploded on the track, killing the racer. Can you find the killer before the finishing line ends up in hell?"
– Case Teaser
Match Made in Hell is a case featured in Criminal Case Third Line: World Dominant, appearing as the 41th case of the game. It is the fifth case set in Africa.
Plot
Kevin and the player chased Beth Thompson's lead regarding The Glutton's viral experimentation to Glutton Lab 88-B. Meanwhile, Maggie, Anabel and Carl watch the racing match, but the car was exploded, killing the top racer Ange Soyinka.
The five people were labelled as suspects: Henry Jadesimi (nurse), Simisola Culkin (car mechanic), Toby Newhouse (ecologist), Shirley Kayode (professor), and Brooke Mallette (racing driver).
While searching for investigations, Kevin and the player were attacked by the killer driving the racing car during investigating the racing track. The player tricks him and shoots at the wheel, causing to lose control and exploded, presumably dead.
Mid-investigation, Hao traced the killer's chalk to a chess game corner in Lekki Conservation Center. Later, the Bureau caught Anabel sneaking into the fortress and told her to leave. They then found enough evidence to arrest Ange's car mechanic, Simisola Culkin, for the murder.
Upon admitting to the crime, Simisola told the team she applied for the new job opening SoftCircle's Racing Tournament had offered, fearing the loss of her job in SoftCircle due to Ange's departure. She was then told to go to Lab 88-B for the interview, where some masked scientists offered her Zobo drinks. Promptly passing out after drinking Zobo, she woke up, only to find The Glutton points a gun at her head and told her to kill Ange by sabotaging her racing car. Simisola then complied without any resistance, claiming that she had felt that "killing someone felt like the most normal thing in the world", but immediately regretted her actions afterward. Judge Palamo then asked the Bureau to find more evidence of the extent of Simisola's criminal responsibility before her trial was held.
During Reap What One Sows (5/6), Hao told Kevin and the player that there were sedatives in Simisola's Zobo drink and that she needed a sample of Remedio to verify its presence in the drink. They then found a sample in the racing track, which Hao used to conclude that Simisola had been administered the drug before the murder. They then talked to nurse Henry Jadesimi, who admitted that he was tasked to administer Remedio to the test subjects and to ensure their vitals did not crash. He then said that he did not know how the drug acted as he was never allowed to stay in the room. He also told the team that the scientists kept brain scans of the test subjects in an ID card shortly before they arrested him.
The team found the ID card in the crashed car, which (per Taraji and Barry) detailed how the drug trials were linked to Beth's amnesia, how Beth's fellow test subjects had died from the trials, how Simisola's brain did not show any damage, and how the drug temporarily suppressed Simisola's emotions and made her docile, explaining the calmness she felt during the murder. After discovering from the ID card that Professor Shirley Kayode was actually The Glutton and the head of the Veronavirus trials, they went to arrest her. During the arrest, Shirley admitted that SoftCircle wanted Ange dead after hacking the fortress' program and steals the Remedio. She also said that there was an awaiting shipment of the drugs, and that the drug had no vaccine.
Meanwhile, the team also found documents regarding the Novale Veronavirus MKII in the racing track, which (per Abel Davis) detailed how SoftCircle's non-compliance of safety protocols led them to cause the disastrous Africa's outbreaks. They then told Peter Vasuni (who informed the team that he was elected President) of SoftCircle's connection with the global pandemic, after which he assured the team that he would hold an emergency meeting regarding SoftCircle's shutdown.
After all the events, Glenda told the team that the effects of the drug depended on the dose, meaning that SoftCircle had the ability to control any drug taker's actions for any amount of time. They then rushed to Judge Palamo, who told the Bureau that Simisola was to undergo a rehabilitation program instead of a prison sentence. He also authorized the team to search the fortress, seize the drugs, and arrest Yulia Chadov, The Glutton's assist. The Bureau then alerted Congo Ambassador Pierre Eyenga and his Lion Heart Security employees to surround and secure the fortress. Kevin and the player then prepared to following Glenda to Ivory Coast to arrest Yuila.
