Would you recomend paying someone for information? For instance, if I found a hair at the crime scene, and asked the barber if it was a certain person, and they clammed, should I pay them for an answer that might be "no"?

Augusta, bribes are an mportant part of the game, however you should try to narrow things down as much as possible before paying them. Also you can only pay one bribe per townie per case so after that you are out of luck. I would recomend paying bribes, though you should not pay for asking about anyone you know can not be guilty, if they have a good alibi , just ignore them, act as if they do not exist and never ask questions about them.

Thank You. I try too eliminate suspects and then only ask questions about the ones that I'm not sure about. It seems like it's a waste of money thought, if they say no.

Well it won't really be a waste of money Augusta! There's always one piece of physical evidence that belongs to the murderer (you can thank Greyling for that piece of information)! So if you have 2 people you're not sure about it does help narrow things down when you know that a suspect is not linked at all...he/she can't be it! Just make sure that none of the clues belong to them!! Hope that helps!!

That's really not a waste of money though! I agree with Eissa.
