Hello everybody,
As a newbie, there are still about a thousand things that puzzle me in the game:
1. What are the reliable twists? For instance the one dealing with a handcuffed suspect whom we then are led to assume is not guilty. How much should we trust it? What about the dream?
2. How much should we take the motives into account? For instance, if the crime scene shows that we're dealing with an experienced killer, does the WE saying that the suspect has already tried to kill the victim before tells us that we are sure to know who the murderer is without having to find anyother clues?
I'll leave the 997 other questions for later!

The motives and "twists" don't mean anything, at least in the "random" cases (I haven't played featured yet.) The only thing you can saftly rely on is no alibi or fake alibi, added to witness and/or physical evidence.
If you find no clues at the crime scene then you MUST question everyone on your list, asking if they've seen something to make them suspect someone. If you get one or more saying they suspect "Oliver Twist" because he tried to kill the person before/was spotted leaving the scene/disposed of the weapon ect..ect then you can saftly accuse "Oliver Twist" as long as he has a fake or no alibi. It makes no difference what the motive was.

Thanks a million
Yet, I was wondering whether the Research skill (which of course I don't have) had a link with motives. In other words, do I have to bother writing down all the motives, or can I definitely skip them even if I get the Research skill some day?
(still another 996 to go... )

Research, you don't need to ask for the motive of the suspect that it turns up, as it will be a false motive, but the research basically gives them a real one. The rest of the suspects, you'll still have to talk to.

Research always gives an alibi for one suspect who won't have one otherwise (your research tells you that he or she is lying to hide embarrasing behavior unrelated to the case) and it is invaluable, especially on the harder cases.
