I've yet to solve the case of sitting in an uncomfortable chair for 2 minutes without dying. This game is hard. Good luck all!
Unfortunately few people have played Aviary Attorney. It's a fantastic game with many enjoyable twists and turns. More importantly: bird puns.
Ghost Trick, trying to piece together your own murder amongst others with a lot of surprising twists and turns on the way.
As for most memorable crime solving, I enjoyed mysterious story of Black Mirror 1. I can easily recommend it to everyone who likes to solve death in old England manor.
Solving the case in The Colonel's Bequest.
I caught the Origami Killer.
Solving the case of naked nord in Morrowind, where a witch seduced him, stole his clothes and left him to wilderness.
Detroit become human, on my first run, Kara and Marcus died, and when I found the truth with Conor I denied them vistory thru ultimate sacrifice choice... P ... O... W
Best noir thriler ever.
Does discovering you alternate dimension self was the bad guy in bio shock infinite count?
If it hasn't been said yet, Return of the Obra Dinn was probably the greatest mystery game in recent times.

I enjoyed how it didn't hold your hand and that it was up to you to connect all the dots. Had a good week of extra coffees trying to crack what happened on that damned boat. There were a lot of "Ah HA!" moments, a few, "Wait...Whuh?" rabbit holes, and definitely some memorable, "HOLY BALLS OF FIRE! Seriously?!"

If you're looking for a unique experience to stretch your brain some, this game is definitely worth a check. I certainly felt smarter by the end of it.
I solved the mystery of the Emperor's murder in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. That was a fun ride.
For me it has to be "Bridge to the Turnabout", the final case in the original Phoenix Wright trilogy. The individual case is interesting and builds upon everything the trilogy has done so far, but the most impressive thing for me is how it ties the story of the entire trilogy together whilst providing it's own twists and turns.
To me I feel that my most memorable 'case' solved in a game was from the game Shadowrun Returns. Solving crimes is generally not my favorite kind of game, but unraveling the mystery of who killed a fellow 'Runner' and why will lead you down into a plot that could result in global consequences.

I would certainly recommend giving that game serious a look.
Finally getting to find out who killed Tyler in The Last Express.

What a unique and thoroughly enjoyable adventure game that was.
In “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided”, a side mission titled “The last harvest”.
Adam needs to find a serial killer before they strike again, near his apartment.
The quest has some twists, pacing is on point, super creepy at times. 10/10.
