what can you do when you know who did it, but they don't have a motive and all the other characters won't talk.
I have a character with a fake alibi and a witness pointing to them. But, no motive.
Help...

Well, Jas...thank you very much, but everything was actually clear to me, besides the fact that surveillance has a failure chance. I did though point out that all info I had about this skill came from an external source and not from personal experience. I also admit that sometimes I do not manage to say clearly what i wish in English.
About the faction help...by "second in command" I meant exactly what you described, considering that the first in command in any faction is actually the NPC.
Regarding my second post, what I was describing were the names in red that MAY OPEN when someone else opens the case. As I said, that doesn't happen often and you have no control over which suspect is unclammed, so it's not a reliable method, but it can, by luck, bring light into a case.
Now, since you brought up the idea of someone else using surveillance on your case, another question is raised: since you can only use surveillance once per case, can another detective use it in a case where you used it already?

Nope, only once per case. If I use surveillance and it fails, another person cannot open the case and use they're surveillance as it's already been used once on the case.
