– Case Teaser
Never Too Old to Learn' is a case featured in Criminal Case Third Line: World Dominant, appearing as the 34th case of the game. It is the fourth case set in Southeast Asia and Oceania.
Plot
After reporting the more people were died by Veronavirus and the Maori people were on verge to death, Barry, Anabel and the player went through Totara Park in Auckland to reach The Sloth's hidden laboratory where the Veronavirus were created from Tenshou bats. There however, they came across the dead body of award-winning New Zealand-American film actor Taina Wiggans, implanted through the head with spear.
The five people were labelled as suspects: Orlando Smee (President of New Zealand), Ryan Smee (biologist and the president's son), Chastity Wiggans (victim's wife), Melvin Wero (rugby player), and Brenda Raukawa (bartender).
While searching for investigations, Anabel and the player were looking after President Smee in the lab. They found the map of Southeast Asia and Oceania were the Veronavirus spreading across the world. The killer locked the door and fill up with poison gas so the two unable to escape. But thanks to the player's plan, Anabel break the door with acid liquid and escaped from the abandoned lab.
Mid-investigation, rugby player Melvin Wero simulated the haka dance to advertise his rugby team, Black Jaguar. Later, Barry fell into a critical condition after getting infected by the Veronavirus upon going back into the forest after rescuing President Orlando Smee from almost falling. Eventually, the team found enough evidence to arrest Melvin for the murder.
After his hedgehog threaten him with needles, Melvin admitted that Taina was filmed him taking his clothes off and blackmailed him into staying at house as soon as he obtained the plasma serums for Veronavirus. Not wanting to lose his job as sportsman, Melvin penetrate Taina's head with the spear to protect Maori people from potential death. Judge Palamo sentenced him to 20 years in jail.
During Hell Or High Water (4/6), Glenda and the player asked Ryan Smee, who was also investigating Veronavirus immunity, for help to create a vaccine for Barry, who's on the verge of death if not cured within a few hours. After combining their works, Glenda and the player found Ryan's plasma serum vials in Mount Eden, which were used to start the cure. However, the vaccine required a substance from the Sunbird seeds to be effective and save Barry's life. After Hamdan Razif told the team that The Sloth steals the Sunbird seeds to develop Veronavirus' immunity against all antigens and vaccines, Glenda and the player were able to find some seeds in Totara Park and use them to finish the plasma serum with Hao and Ryan. Glenda then immediately administered the vaccine to Barry.
Meanwhile, Taraji told Anabel and the player that Ernest Newhouse's flight arrived ahead of schedule. They looked for him at the rugby bar, where he was last seen, to intercept him before SoftCircle Project got to him. They found his phone, which (per Henri) proved that Ernest was staying in Shangri-La Hotel and had so far made no contact with SoftCircle. They informed Chief Fowler about their findings.
After all the events, the Bureau visited Barry, who had partly recovered and remembered seeing Liang Davis goes through the hidden lab when he was infected by the virus. When confronted by Rosamund and the player, Liang stated that he was investigating the virus to help the team. Later, Chief Fowler told the team to intercept Ernest at the Shangri-La Hotel, Sydney, during an upcoming Sydney Films Award ceremony for Stella Mccullum.
