Ok, i had a case where i had two suspects who both had physical evidence against them and both had witness evidence against them.

One of them had no alibi and the others alibi i couldn't varify because i'd used up all my questions with that townsperson.

What can i do in that situation besides quiting and guessing?

Each case will have ONE piece of Physical evidence and TWO pieces of Witness evidence against someone with a fake/no alibi.

There will be people with real alibis who have one peice of PE and/or one piece of WE, but because they have a real alibi, they can not be guilty.

The problem is finding all the evidence. You only need one piece of evidence and a fake/no alibi to accuse.

In your case Eva, if neither A or B have matching PE, they are not guilty. C has a fake alibi and D is unconfirmed. I would ask everyone for WE against C. If one person points to C and C has a verified fake alibi, then you can accuse safely. With D, you would need two people (WE) to accuse without knowing the alibi.
