I am on a intermediate level case. I have 7 suspects and 3 of them have false alibi, others have real ones. However, my only evidence recovered from the crime scence - a bloody footprint does not match all three of the false alibi suspects!!!

I have kept asking others and no one have turn up useful information regarding anyone suspicious, all they say is I have no reason to supsect ...

Is this an insolvable case???

Hi Kay, I noticed that you have only 100xp, so that means you've just reached the intermediate level and don't have that many skills to do the job yet. Don't worry about it, with time and patience you'll get more skills and equipment to improve your character.

There are two ways to grow your character: 1) Choose the highest possible difficulty level case as you are allowed to take (as you're doing now), but expect to quit some cases in the process (it's normal don't worry about it). This ensures a quicker growth even if you have a quit a few; 2) Do it the slow way and choose cases you can handle. This probably feels better for you ego but your character will grow slower. Either way, just don't guess!! Guess costs you a fortune.

have you asked all the towns people if they know anything about the case. that normally will point you in the right direction as far as who to ask. I do agree with Mr. Zeo in saying dont guess no one wants a false accusation on their record. And Im sorry if my question sounds like its questioning your ability. But I only ask cause I have found myself in the same situation and I didnt ask who knew anything. Well again good luck
