A Really Bad Day

I have 4 cases a day and 2 of them have guilty clients. There's $1000+ down the drain. Then I get a wrong accusation (1 WE + 1PE!!! and yet still wrong). The other suspect did not have WE nor PE and I feel like I've really just been had.
To add to the insult, shady character charged $3000 to clear my records. That's such a massive scam. *grr*

*sigh*

Just wanted to rant. I'm fuming right now.

Not a scam at all. You need to amke sure you only accuse when you have WE or/and PE against a person WITH a flase or "none" alibi.

Anything else is a guess and the cardinal rule of Sleuthing is no guessing.

Alternatively you might want 2 WEs. But yeah, nothing beats the good old false alibi check.

Mind you, I just got a ridiculously hard case with 4 right handed notes. My contact is the shoemaker so imagine how happy I am when I get 9 right handed people! Out of those I could only bring it down to 6 fake alibis with a right hand.

What does one do... I thought about giving up the case and my mouse hovered over the quit button for a long time. But in the end I asked my wife who she thought did it and then I asked all the suspects if they thought he was guilty...

guess what! He was.

So I say, the best sleuth helper is my wife. LOL. Works 80% of the time.

Don't you have this system with the names of suspects that will put the guilty party in the top two?

Aren't you being just a little bit greedy then?

Stooby: Well I suppose you're right. Better to quit than to risk paying Shady. =/

Dave: I'm not married, so it's a little hard. =)

Armitage: I don't think he'll let.

Dave again: What system? I write most of my stuff on paper.

PS. On a good note, I will be subscribing in two days. =) The 3 messed up cases really made me want to do more mysteries, because the way I see it, ALL unsubscribed detectives are already at a massive disadvantage. Not only do we get less mysteries, but that directly means we are forced to do harder cases (in my case) to get the necessary exp for skill points. Plus I really want to go to other cities too. =P On top of that, I wasn't even allowed to log on and do mysteries because priority is given to subscribed members. *grr* Can't beat 'em, join 'em.

PPS. We are allowed to have multiple detectives right? Because I have two.
I hope I won't get suspended or anything.

PPPS. Thanks for all the advice guys. =)
