It's gonna cost me about 7000 or so to have my record cleared, and I only have 2000 on me. What do I do? Do I ignore the stain on my record completely?

If not, what do you suggest for me to earn money without upping my experience points much to hike the costs?

Lastly, if there's a twist in the mystery where I say "I'm pretty sure he's not the killer" to a guy being taken away by cuffs, does that mean he's not going to be the killer, or is he still a suspect?

If you only have one false don't worry too much. It costs the same to clear two as it does one, so hanging off isn't an issue in that sense.

Probably cycling through a lot of easy cases (low exp reward) and then doing favours and selling the items is the quickest way of getting ahead of the rising cost.

If/when you subscribe some agencies will sometimes help out with their agents debts (I think).

Also in other cities esp. Delhi, the price you owe Shady decreases. I think one time for me it was over $100,000 in London and less than $90,000 in Delhi.

But yeah cycle through the easys and sell the favour rewards is how I've done it.

Okay, the big question is one stain or two on your record. One isn't a big deal, but can two be very dangerous.

My best advice would be to solve cases at a level where you can generally solve them most of the time, and quit any that you are not 100% sure on, check and double check...Don't guess. You should have the money pretty quickly.

I'm leery to comment on your last question...I'd say that he is still a suspect, but from my own experience I wouldn't put him too high on the list. Maybe someone else will have a more definitive answer.

Oh sorry. The twists/cutaway scenes in New York are just (what did I read the other day) 'for flavour'. So don't let them influence you. Just go on the evidence rules for solving cases. (Se Welcome Newbies thread in this section)
