Ok, I know once you're subbed you can bet on horse races to try and make money, but where?

Also, on the FM's I must be missing something. I tried the Green Spector and I asked everyone if they knew who might have a motive, I got my list of suspects but the fortune teller said there was still people I needed to talk with. So, I asked all the townies and no one knew anything about the case.

The only person I couldn't get a motive for had me as their alibi. So what am I missing? How do get the other suspects if I've already talked to everyone? I've tried it twice and get to the same point and can't get any farther. It was only an inter too, not even a hard one lol

The horse races are in Shanghai.

At least two townies will have information about the case, so I'm not sure what happened when you say no one had any info. Did people clam up on you when you tried to ask them about motives?

No, when I asked the townies they all said "sorry, I don't know anything about that". The only one who knew anything was the fortune teller, but he was a part of the case from the begining and didn't have anything new to add.

And I got motives from everyone I asked, that's the first thing I take care of in a case to make sure I get all the suspects. But when I paid $20 to the fortune teller he said "though you have passed many sign post there's still more to go" or whatever it is that means you don't have your full suspect list yet.

Peter, FM's are a little different, and usually paying multiple visits to the suspects and townies will help. Many FM's have questions that only open up after you have asked certain questions of other suspects or townies.
