Is there a way to have a question unlocked after a piece of evidence is connected to a suspect?

For example:

The barber confirms that the hair is Bob's, this unlocks a question for Bob about the hair.

Make sense?

My brain is kinda mushy at the moment.

I can't seem to find a way for evidence to effect something else in the plot.

Thank you!

It works? IT WORKS? Yay!

While I'm glad to know it works now, the answer to your original question, Magdalene, remains the same. You must create your barber question instead of using the automatic one, and make it unlock your question to Bob.

There might be another way using a twist, but I can't get it to gel in mind, and what I'm trying to think of might not actually work.

I also agree with Squirrel on this - even if you can use the automatic questioning, it really doesn't add to the storyline and you can make your question and answer much more interesting than the standard.

Okay, thank you! After I finish everything else, I will play through it and see if I like with the automatic evidence questions. If I don't like how it plays, I'll try what you all suggested!

Thanks!
