I'm in Delhi, working " The Unique Riddle of the Haunting Phantom" when I get a message that I cannot visit the Postal Clerk at all. Then I notice that one of the alibis is the Curator. No curator in Delhi.

This is just weird heres another one The Byzantine Hunt for the Exotic Crime, three of the alibis are with the Curator.

Erm Yeti?

Did you happen to pick this case up out of your saveds? Is it vaguely old? Some behind the scenes updates recently have - I've been led to believe - corrupted "some" saved cases...

Well I think the important thing here is not to point fingers. *Ahem* Even if a large furry creature is once again to blame we should definitely let him off the hook.

For whatever reason those cases thought their point of origin was London. I've changed them back to Delhi, so try one of them again and see if it still gives you grief.

Waaaaait. Did you move your apartment from London to Delhi sometime between July and November? I thought moving the apartment would delete the cases, but apparently it doesn't. I'm gonna change the cases back to London, as assigning the city as Delhi won't help with those alibis.

I moved from London but I believe my study was empty when I got to Delhi. I could be wrong though I was once before ;)

Yeah, I think the case files still being full is definitely the most likely explanation. The suspect alibis are set when a mystery is created, and they're stored as strings, eg. "Curator". There's nothing in the game that changes those alibis once they've been made, so with the case saying it was started in London, with all the alibis being London townies and your having had your apartment in London previously; I'm leaning towards thinking your study wasn't empty.

All that said there really should be a check on Sleuth's end that all studies are empty before an apartment is moved.
