Yes, I'm sure a locking skill wouldn't be too useful around you Agatha. Perhaps you have had one too many sherries with that blasted mayor (he knows who really runs the show in New York), because I did say I have research. Very useful it is too.

And thank you for saying I'm charming, it's nice to hear that, especially when the barber didn't think so. *shakes fist*

But the way I see it, is that if I get lock picking then everyone will stay home, and if I get the analysis skills then my smarts will fail me and I still won't be able to figure how fat the darn suspect was nor if they're a lefty.

(I found that quite odd on the tutorial when it said "Konrad is a lefty. That's interesting" What, you mean he's a communist?!)

Anyway, thank you for your advice Ran and Agatha.

Sam, I'm gonna go with Ran on this too. If you weren't in an agency where you could get assistance with your evidence, I'd lean more toward the smart skills.

But you are, so! Lockpicking is a very nice convience. There is always 2 locked doors in a case, so don't worry about the people staying home on ya'. :)

Let us know what you decide! :)
