If it's allowed, would someone please give me a clue. I am stuck. I didn't read the rules and therefore, I didn't realize I should wait on playing the harder mysteries, until I've built up my points, and things. In this game, all witnesses clam up, or the others wants bribes which I paid, but usually don't, and got me nowhere. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. If I don't have the resources yet to solve the harder games yet, or what. If I must, I will take a guess on whom I think it is. DaRu awaits your replies.

Hi DaRu - I still like your Umbrella. ^_^

The mysteries are randomly made, so I can't give you any clues. You definetly shouldn't try difficult missions until you're ready.

If all the witnesses have clammed up, there's not much you can do. I don't suggest you take a guess, unless there is only one person with a fake or no alibi [which I doubt.

Its okay to quit a case, but its really bad news to make a false accusation. Everyone gets stuck once in a while, don't worry. Just go to "Case File" and click the link at the bottom to quit the case.

Wow, I must have been extremely stressed out when I posted this thread. I can't believe I said "I will take a guess on whom it is." I don't know why said this when it's a rule of mine to check and recheck before accusing a suspect. I just wanted to clear this up, in case a newbie read this. I must have been having a bad hair day or something lol. Whatever the reason, bless "Secret Asian Man," for trying to help out a damsal in distress...lol.

PS: Ok, I think this case back when I had just returned from being away awhile and discovered a new level of "Almost Impossible Cases has been added," which I opened my first one & lost big times..hehe. In the past I always won the hardest level of cases, except the occasional favor, so this must have really stressed me out to not be able to solve it. If I remember right, I was thinking, "What in the heck is wrong here, and what is it going to take." After all, I had every skill available I thought, or did I lack something I wasn't aware of? Well, as I would find out later, it just happened to be that case, and along the way since then, I still get those cases. Some without crime scene evidence, or I just can't figure it out. Yes, as Secret Asian Man stated, it's best to quit the case, if in doubt. Ok, hopefully mystery solved...hehe. (Like anyone really wanted to know or cared, but me..hehe!)

Correction: I think this case was back when I was sick and left for awhile, then when I returned I discovered a new hard level of cases had been added, "Almost Impossible."

Wow, I just noticed the [Post History], that's been added lately. I don't know who thought of this or when it was actually added, but thanks for making it easy to find threads by a particular agent, if desired. NEAT!
